Chapter 345: Chapter 330: Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable!
"Fen You, what’s wrong?"
Wang Xu had never seen Fen You lose composure like this, exclaiming in such a manner. His guard was immediately up, as he asked in his mind.
"I’ll tell you later, right now you must leave this place immediately, hurry!" Fen You urged desperately.
Wang Xu had no doubt, Fen You was not one to joke around, and having been beside figures like the Great Emperor Saint Venerable, he had seen everything. If it made him this alarmed, it must be a matter of life and death!
Time was of the essence, so Wang Xu spoke directly, "I’m sorry, I’ve just returned to the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, I need to go pay respects to the Hall Master, I’ll take my leave first."
As he spoke, Wang Xu glanced at Lei Fan and Lu Chen, his eyes flickering, indicating for them to leave together.
Although the two did not know why Wang Xu was in such a hurry to leave, seeing his serious expression made them realize something big was happening. They bid farewell and followed closely behind.
"Wang Xu, you’ve just arrived, why are you leaving?" Zhan Bai spoke.
Wang Xu and his companions did not look back, heading straight out of the Teleportation Hall.
"Fen You, what’s the matter?" As he walked, Wang Xu asked internally.
"It’s a life aura," Fen You replied gravely. "I sensed an unusual life aura. Though it’s faint and hard to detect, I can feel the life level within it is much higher than yours. I’m afraid there’s a Saint Venerable Dominator realm expert near you!"
A Saint Venerable Dominator nearby?!
A tidal wave surged in Wang Xu’s heart, yet his expression remained unchanged, a flash of shock passing through his eyes.
He fully believed Fen You’s words, which meant... was this expert the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable?
No, if it were the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable, Fen You wouldn’t urge him to leave so urgently.
Then who could it be?
Wang Xu’s mind raced, and soon, a flash of inspiration struck him. His face betrayed an uncontrollable look of shock as he widened his eyes.
The Dark Saint Venerable!
"That’s right... it’s him. No one else could it be..." Wang Xu’s heart raced faster, his face involuntarily turning pale.
With this thought, Wang Xu hastened his steps, hurrying toward the door of the Teleportation Hall.
"Three Seniors, leaving already?" The guarding disciple asked as he saw Wang Xu and his companions approaching, though his face relaxed considerably.
It’s known that the Teleportation Hall is a top secret area of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, involving multiple Teleportation Array information and secrets, where idlers are never allowed to enter.
Otherwise, should any incident occur, the guarding disciples would face severe punishment!
If it weren’t for Senior Sister Su You’s words, the guarding disciple would never have allowed Wang Xu and his companions to enter.
Fortunately, Wang Xu and his companions had now exited, allowing the guarding disciple to let go of his worry.
Meanwhile, Zhan Bai’s gaze flickered with complex tones as he watched Wang Xu’s departing figure.
Wang Xu gave him an odd feeling, but after thorough investigation, he couldn’t find any disturbance.
"Is it just my imagination?" Zhan Bai murmured to himself.
"Wang Xu, your behavior is somewhat unusual, did something happen?" Lu Chen transmitted his voice.
"Lu Chen, if I tell you there’s a Saint Venerable Dominator realm figure near us, would you believe it?" Wang Xu replied.
Lu Chen’s pupils shrank sharply, his body trembling slightly, yet he quickly composed himself.
"How did you find out?" Lu Chen asked seriously.
"Intuition." Wang Xu didn’t mention anything about Fen You. About Fen You, about the Burning Nether Fire, Wang Xu kept it hidden from everyone.
"Wang Xu, I’ve lived longer than you and never said I could sense the presence of a Saint Venerable Dominator realm figure just by intuition. You’re better than me," Lei Fan also communicated silently.
"No, his intuition is spot on!"
Suddenly, a sinister voice entered the minds of Wang Xu and his companions, causing their bodies to freeze almost simultaneously, feeling as though they had fallen into an ice cave, as if darkness was about to engulf the world!
"Run!"
In an instant, the three made the unanimous decision to explode with momentum, raising their speed to the maximum!
For this, Wang Xu even resorted to burning the Mixed Cosmos.
Wang Xu had never burned the Mixed Cosmos, not even when facing the terrifying line-up of many geniuses, he had always remained calm.
But the current situation made it impossible for Wang Xu to stay calm!
Like a knife pressed against his throat, eager to move, and with one misstep, he would be decapitated, losing his life!
"Run? Ridiculous."
However, another voice forcibly entered Wang Xu’s mind, filled with mockery and ridicule.
Suddenly, Wang Xu’s body was immobilized, limbs unable to move, his entire being frozen in place, while only his eyes darted around frantically.
Not only Wang Xu, but also Lu Chen and Lei Fan were immobilized.
At this moment, an invisible force moved their bodies, gradually turning them around.
In the distance, the black-robed youth Zhan Bai in the Teleportation Hall watched them with a full smile, his robes fluttering without wind, slowly walking towards them.
In Zhan Bai’s eyes, tiny black silk threads spread wildly, quickly covering both of his eyeballs, turning his eyes black and shimmering with a heart-palpitating black light.
Within the black light, a dot of red slowly emerged.
In an instant, the eyes seemed to come alive, an invisible murderous intent permeating, instilling dread just by looking at them.
"Huh? Why aren’t the three seniors moving?" Two disciples on guard noticed that Wang Xu and the others were motionless and curiously prepared to approach for a closer look.
"Don’t block my way, trash."
A faint voice echoed, and before the two disciples could turn their heads, Zhan Bai flicked his sleeve, instantly turning them into dust, their bodies scattering like fine sand in the breeze!
Witnessing this scene, Wang Xu’s eyes began to tremble uncontrollably.
Zhan Bai walked up to Wang Xu, still wearing a kind smile, but those red and black eyes were in stark contrast, instilling utmost terror.
A likable face, yet fear-inducing eyes, Zhan Bai was a contradiction.
"As mere ants, to be able to sense my disguise, what a frightening intuition." Zhan Bai said with a smile.
Zhan Bai’s smile, combined with his eyes full of killing intent, created a strong contrasting impact, making one inevitably think of a single word—
Demon!
"You three came to the Teleportation Hall, my intuition tells me you want to inquire about ’why the teleportation array was altered’, am I right?" Zhan Bai said with a smile.
The pupils of Wang Xu trembled almost imperceptibly, a detail that Zhan Bai captured, smiling lightly.
"As a reward for seeing through my disguise, I’ll let you know more before you die."
At this moment, Zhan Bai was like a cat that caught a mouse, clearly able to easily kill the three of them but chose to toy with them instead.
"I erased the teleportation array, and I altered it as well. The new teleportation array will not send the disciples of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion to any Sacred Cosmos, but to the other end of the Mortal Realm, a place they call the ’Immortal Realm’."
Zhan Bai chuckled softly, his smile carrying a hint of cruelty.
"Foolish disciples of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, ignorant cultivators of the Mortal Realm, all fantasizing that the other end of the teleportation array is a paradise in their hearts. But very unfortunately, what awaits them is boundless purgatory!"
"Death, pain, torment, wails, sorrowful cries, anger, regret... these will accompany them until they willingly become a part of the Dark Holy Banquet. Although the process is somewhat brutal, it might be an interesting experience for them. At least they will understand what a pain deeper than death feels like."
The more Zhan Bai spoke, the more sinister the smile on his face became.
"I’ll give you a grand gift, allowing you to see how exceptional my Dark Holy Banquet disciples are!" Zhan Bai waved his hand, and thousands of figures flew out from the Teleportation Hall behind him.
These thousands of figures were the elites of the Teleportation Hall, each a master of arrays, possessing comprehension beyond ordinary people. Given enough Cosmic Energy and Ancient Ore, they could create an incomparably powerful energy array for you.
However, these thousands of array masters were no longer the heavenly treasures of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, all branded with the glaring mark of the Dark Holy Banquet!
They had become part of the Dark Holy Banquet!
...
In the distance, many disciples of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion saw thousands of figures suddenly appear from the Teleportation Hall.
"Isn’t that the Teleportation Hall? What happened, why did everyone run out?"
"Every one of the Teleportation Hall is a master of arrays. Are they all planning to set up a super array together? I’m so curious, I must go and take a look!"
"I heard there’s a uniquely stunning junior sister in the Teleportation Hall, a genius of arrays herself, with appearance and demeanor surpassing even the sisters of Nine Yin Hall. It would be great to catch a glimpse of her!"
Many disciples of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion talked and laughed, not finding anything unusual about the event. In fact, most were eager to see what the collective action of thousands of array masters was intended for and flew towards the Teleportation Hall.
"Huh? What’s happening, why can’t I move my body?"
"Me neither, I can’t move either!"
"Damn it, what’s going on, it’s like I’m stuck in a swamp and can’t move forward."
At this point, these disciples of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion found the void like a swamp, rendering their bodies immobile.
...
"Alright, after telling you so much and letting you witness my Dark Holy Banquet army first, even in death, you can feel honored."
Zhan Bai’s mouth curved into a faint smile, then he pointed a finger towards Wang Xu and the others.
This finger carried no heaven-shaking power, no heart-palpitating momentum, just an utterly ordinary gesture, yet to Wang Xu and the others, as the finger approached, they felt the crisis of death slowly envelop them...
"Enough."
An ancient and serene voice echoed through the heavens and earth, causing Zhan Bai’s finger to pause, the void before him seemingly solidified into a steel wall, unable to move forward an inch.
