Invincible Powers - Chapter 66: Surprises in the Forbidden Land
“I just don’t understand why Yuan Ting and Zhao Yafu would actually listen to him.”
Wu Ji had been complaining ever since they parted with the Dark Moon City group. “Sister Hui, do you think they are acting to trick us?”
Wu Ji was another Yellow Hall Realm cultivator in Cold Moon City.
Although he was only at the beginning stage, he was much younger than Han Hui, only sixteen years old.
From the potential he showed, he was more outstanding than Han Hui and might even one day surpass her.
The Wu Clan was also the most powerful clan in Cold Moon City, and his father Wu Lie was the current mayor of Cold Moon City.
Therefore, despite Han Hui being this expedition’s leader, she still had to value Wu Ji’s opinions.
Before coming here, the Han Clan’s elders told her that no matter what she had to ensure Wu Ji’s safety.
That was also a reason why she chose to stay away from conflicts ever since they started.
She didn’t want to be blamed for anything that might harm Wu Ji during this time.
Not to mention death, even if he was just hurt, she would be punished.
She even heard that Wu Ji was just about to get to the middle stage of the Yellow Hall Realm.
Such achievement at the age of sixteen was extraordinarily impressive in the empire, and he might be able to shoot for one of the five new moons in the near future.
“I don’t know why exactly Yuan Ting and Zhao Yafu listen to him.” Han Hui didn’t know them that well. “Regardless, they probably just haven’t met the situations we have been through. When they are finally humiliated by the stronger groups, they will understand what we feel right now.”
“Someone really needs to let them know how weak they are.”
Wu Ji agreed. “I know that day will come soon.”
The group decided not to give up on the mural, so they headed there next.
They felt that after a while of occupying that place, those from Waning Moon City might have gone elsewhere.
Since they wouldn’t be able to move the mural, they either had to destroy it or come back for it later.
They had to explore other places after all.
A few hours later…
Han Hui and her group slowly approached the cave that had the mural.
“Look, it’s Feng Xin!”
Wu Ji suddenly said quietly, pointing toward a place far away.
Han Hui looked at where he was pointing.
She also noticed that there was a group of about eight people entering a wide stone tunnel and disappearing inside.
That girl named Feng Xin was the leader of the Waning Moon City group, and she was the one that chased them away.
“Last time I saw them, there were more people in her group than that.” Han Hui looked around and frowned. “Have some of them already entered the tunnel?”
Wu Ji felt a bit strange, “If I can see Feng Xin, I’m almost certain that she can see us as well, but she doesn’t seem to care about our existence at all.”
“It’s indeed a bit concerning.” Han Hui was suspicious of what was happening. “The Feng Xin I know would have turned around and made fun of us before leaving.”
They all noticed that the mood of that group changed. These people from Waning Moon City looked straightforward and had no interaction with each other.
The last one of them had moved out of their sight.
“Let’s go check out the mural first!” Wu Ji suggested.
Han Hui agreed.
Before long, the group from Cold Moon City stood in front of the mural.
No one else was there.
From what they could tell, the people from Waning Moon City must have all left.
So, they rushed to study the details of the mural.
Unfortunately, after a while, since none of them could figure out anything new, some of them took out their paintbrushes to copy down parts of the mural.
“Sister Hui, a few clouds are missing.” Wu Ji said softly.
“What?”
“I clearly remember that on the mural we saw before, there are a few clouds up there and a few streams down here, but now the clouds are gone. It doesn’t seem like anyone has chipped them away either.” Wu Ji said.
Han Hui was surprised by this weird finding. “Perhaps, they obtained the secrets of the mural already.”
“Hey, we lost our perfect chance.” Wu Ji sighed, “Those from Dark Moon City are surely arrogant. Just say that they meet up with people like Feng Xin, can they do anything except for running away?”
“Just wait and see, they will soon be begging us for an alliance.” Han Hui muttered.
…
Bang.
Another mirage pearl burst into dust.
Everywhere the eight people from Waning Moon City went, the mirage pearl monitoring that area would turn to dust before it could reflect their image.
“Feng Xin!”
Gao Hong from the Black Moon City called out while standing on top of the large piece of moon fragment.
This was the crater that the Fan Clan occupied a while back.
After matching with Yu Yuan, the Fan Clan settled here for a little while to regain their strength and then left.
Fan Li knew very well that the ancient spirit energy was the opportunity they were seeking, but as soon as that was gone, there was nothing much left for them to see.
Without any hesitancy, he led his group to the next crater.
Gao Hong and his group, however, took the chance to seek anything that might have been left over.
He was hoping to get anything that the Yu Yuan and Fan Li missed.
Although he knew that the possibility of finding anything was very small, they still didn’t give up.
Who knew, they might get lucky.
Gao Hong never expected anyone else would appear, not to mention the one that appeared was Feng Xin.
He knew Feng Xin before, so he yelled loudly, “First come first serve! Feng Xin, I’m warning you, better take your people and go somewhere else.”
He just needed a little longer to finish up this place.
Feng Xin didn’t seem to even hear his words. Her pace continued without a pause.
Gao Hong was angered. “Feng Xin, what do you think you are doing?”
The only thing that Feng Xin looked at was the sword pattern on the moon fragment. Never did she land even a glance on him.
Deep in her black pupils, there was a flickering shimmer of gloomy light.
“Feng Xin!” Gao Hong yelled solemnly.
She finally looked a little impatient and stopped.
She was still looking at the sword-shaped patterns on the moon fragment.
She then stretched out one hand and pointed toward Gao Hong and the others.
The seven people following behind her was still descending from the stairs. Seeing her motion, they all jumped down to the moon fragment.
All seven of them landed quietly like a leaf falling to the ground.
But as soon as they land, the pupils of the seven people changed at the same time.
They all turned green, and their eyes looked like strange ghost fire in the dark.
Without any pause, the group immediately attacked Gao Hong and the others.
They should have been all in the same realm, but the battle showed something drastically different.
The seven people that followed Feng Xin’s orders were overpowering Black Moon City cultivators!
Bodies of the seven were as cold as iron, and their hands as sharp as blades.
Gao Hong was just like before, normal flesh and blood. With just one hit. the seven of them each picked their own target and pierced their hands into their opponents’ chest.
After a while, Feng Xin slowly came to the moon fragment.
Beside her, corpses lay everywhere.
They all died miserably, and their faces full of shock.
Standing on the fragment, Feng Xin pressed her hands on one of the sword-shaped patterns and looked at it as if it was a past memory of hers.
After a while, she muttered to herself in a rhythmic tone, “Soul, my soul is gone.”
