Chapter 460: Chapter 218: I Beg You to Beat Me Viciously! Let Me Howl in Anguish

He had already investigated it thoroughly from the start.

He discovered this monster had countless ties to the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

"It wasn’t me, Alliance Leader Chu! It’s a misunderstanding! I was deceived too!"

Yin Jiuxuan’s expression was one of panic as he hastily defended himself.

"Alliance Leader, he’s probably telling the truth."

Chen Xuan replied, "Let’s head back to the Martial Alliance first!"

"Alright!"

Chu Shanhe immediately nodded, though he was quite surprised.

’Could it be that Chen Xuan has already subdued the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect?’

’The Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is as slippery as they come.’

’I’ve tried to catch him many times without success. If Chen Xuan managed to bring him to heel, he’d undoubtedly be a huge asset to the Martial Alliance.’

The three of them set off again, quickly leaving the area.

「An hour later.」

They appeared outside the Martial Alliance headquarters.

The moment they arrived, Chen Xuan froze and came to a sudden halt.

His gaze grew exceptionally sharp as he looked up, directly over the Martial Alliance, as if he had discovered something.

"What is it, Chen Xuan?"

Chu Shanhe asked, his voice tense.

"Do you feel it? Something’s not right,"

Chen Xuan asked.

Chu Shanhe’s expression shifted. "You feel it too?" he said. "To be honest, I’ve felt like I was being watched on more than one occasion. It wasn’t just at the Martial Alliance; it was the same when I was tracking the creature earlier. But no matter what I did, I could never find anything unusual. After a while, I started to doubt my own senses!"

"You’re not imagining things. We are being watched."

Chen Xuan’s voice was cold.

Through his Unity of Heaven and Man and his Divine Eye of the Sun, he could clearly see a dense, oppressive darkness hanging over the Martial Alliance.

Seven distinct black shadows floated high above the Martial Alliance.

They were like seven vengeful souls, their eyes glowing crimson as they kept a close watch over the entire Martial Alliance.

These spirits could see every person’s every move with perfect clarity.

"What? We’re really being watched?"

Chu Shanhe’s gaze sharpened, and he carefully scanned the sky above once more.

But just like before, he couldn’t see a thing.

"Master, what exactly is watching us?"

Yin Jiuxuan asked uneasily.

"I’ll make them reveal themselves. You’ll see in a moment."

Chen Xuan’s voice was cold as he suddenly activated his Unwarranted Heart Fire.

’Control!’

FWOOSH!!

BOOM!

In midair, the seven flitting black shadows were forcibly burned into view by the Unwarranted Heart Fire. They let out sharp, piercing shrieks, each of their forms now engulfed in golden flames.

The Unwarranted Heart Fire then immediately seized control of their minds, swiftly severing their connection to their hidden master.

"Come down!"

Chen Xuan’s tone was cold.

SWOOSH!

As if transformed into Chen Xuan’s puppets, the seven black shadows descended from the sky, landing obediently before him. They trembled uncontrollably, their forms like ghostly apparitions.

"So there really was something!"

Chu Shanhe’s face was a mask of shock and anger.

For days on end, he’d had the nagging feeling of being watched.

And though he’d tried to uncover the source multiple times, he had always come up empty.

’To think this thing can actually turn invisible!’

"Did that bizarre creature put these here? These are Yin Souls—Yin Souls that have been specially refined!!"

Yin Jiuxuan asked in shock.

"Yes. They are all Inner Realm masters from our Martial Alliance who have died!"

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the seven shadows. "To kill seven of our Martial Alliance’s Inner Realm masters, refine their souls into this form, and then plant them here to continue spying on the Alliance... What a fine plan. What a truly fine plan."

However.

’By leaving these Yin Souls here to spy on the Martial Alliance, that monster is practically begging to be killed!’

’I can use the connection between these souls and that monster to track it down!’

’Now I don’t even need to examine the corpses.’

’I can just go straight to the source!’

"Damned creature! When I find it, I’ll slice it into ten thousand pieces!"

Chu Shanhe’s voice was chilling.

This monster wasn’t just killing people; it was destroying them heart and soul!

"Let’s go."

Chen Xuan turned and started walking away, directing the seven black shadows to fly on ahead.

"You’re not going to look at the bodies?"

Chu Shanhe asked, turning back to him.

Chen Xuan’s tone was impassive. "There’s no need. These shadows are more useful than any corpse. No matter where it hides, I can find it. I’m going to pay it a personal visit."

’To think it dares cause chaos in the outer world!’

’And even dares to mess with the Martial Alliance!’

’I don’t care if you come from the depths of the Dark World or not.’

’I’m going to make you understand the meaning of a complete mental collapse!’

"Alright!"

Chu Shanhe immediately nodded and followed Chen Xuan.

Yin Jiuxuan also hurried after them.

「Meanwhile.」

The Grotto Heaven.

Earth Hero Mountain, within the Sun family estate.

Inside a spacious room.

A healthy flush had returned to Tang Yuan’s previously pale cheeks. A look of satisfaction on his face, he casually tossed aside the corpse of Sun Debiao, lord of Earth Hero Mountain. He then raised his long, slender fingers to his lips, sucking them clean.

"Not bad at all. A bit old, but his vital essence was potent."

A smile spread across his face.

"Now that I’ve eaten my fill, it’s time to go have some more fun. That Chu Shanhe chased me all the way to the Grotto Heaven, so the Martial Alliance must be defenseless. I’ll head back there now. He’ll never see it coming."

"Heh heh, I’m a genius! A true genius!"

"When Chu Shanhe finally gets back, he’ll find the entire Martial Alliance has become a mountain of corpses in a sea of blood. Every last one of them will be dead!"

"I wonder if that will be enough to break him."

"Then, when he’s breaking down, I’ll suddenly attack from behind, pierce his heart with one move, and end his life!"

"I really am twisted, aren’t I?"

Tang Yuan chuckled lightly.

He took a step, his body turning transparent, and walked directly outside.

The entirety of Earth Hero Mountain was already a scene of carnage, with blood pooling on the ground and corpses strewn everywhere.

The vast Grotto Heaven was almost entirely dead.
