Invincible Powers - Chapter 67: Intruder
Yu Yuan woke up with a start.
Under the waterfall-like moonlight, it was another night.
About ten meters away from him, Zhao Yafu and Yu Feifei were whispering to each other, Yuan Ting was focusing on his cultivation, and some other participants from the Zhao and Yuan Clan were wandering around.
They were at the bottom of another crater, resting on a normal moon fragment.
“Weird…”
After waking up, Yu Yuan held his breath and sensed his surroundings.
He could feel some heat radiating from the sword lights branded on his bones.
It was the heat that woke him up.
Using his Soul of Heaven, he tried to sense what was going on with the sword light…
These sparks of light in his body were trying to move as if wanting to eliminate an obstacle of theirs, an instinct of the sword light.
However, the sparks of sword light only had the meaning of the sword, which included the sword’s soul and mind but no real body.
“Ah, there must be a sword!” Yu Yuan suddenly understood.
The sword light that was on his bones should only be the sword soul, sword mind, and sword method, and the sword light would only present its true powers after it found the original sword body.
That must be an old and mighty sword.
“Can the sword also be somewhere in the Forbidden Land?” Yu Yuan frowned.
…
On another moon fragment.
Feng Xin stood still, but her hand was still pressed on the sword-shaped patterns on the ground and her eyes still glowing green.
Gradually, a gloomy green light branched out from her palm that was on the ground.
The light spread out quickly into the other patterns that were on this moon fragment.
Crack!
The giant piece of moon fragment, unable to withstand the pressure, cracked into smaller chunks.
A sword-shaped pattern suddenly split off from the rest of the rocks and shot toward her.
Puff!
Before it got close to her, the sword-shaped pattern burst into powder.
Then, more and more of the same pieces flew toward her.
One by one, all of them turned to powder in the same way.
Soon after, the entire moon fragment came apart.
“It’s just a sword method without a soul,” Feng Xin said coldly. “Since the sword method can still be activated, the soul must still be here. I can’t wait to see how much power can it unleash after so many years.”
She suddenly glared at Gao Hong’s body.
Gao Hong’s eyeballs started turning.
His eyeballs strangely turned lively, quickly reflecting everything he had seen in his lifetime.
“So, one is called Yu Yuan, another Fan Li. One of them that stole it.”
After getting what she wanted, Feng Xin looked back and walked back to the stairs.
…
“There are a total of six mirage pearls that have disconnected from the Mirage Water Curtain.”
Li Yuchan’s expression finally became serious, “Something must have happened in there that is causing all these. It cannot be a coincidence.
No longer looking calm, the old general sat up. “The six-month event has barely begun. Nothing can go that wrong, can it?”
“Should I check it myself?” Li Yuchan said.
The old general pondered, then nodded. “Yes, just to be safe. I’ll stay here and continue monitoring the other areas.”
“I’m going to start by locating the damaged pearls and figure out the reason for their malfunction.” Li Yuchan took off immediately. Like a gust of wind, she flew into the Forbidden Land.
…
“There is someone underneath.”
An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded above Yu Yuan and his group.
Everyone from the Dark Moon City was startled by the voice and looked up at the same time.
A moment later, more dark figures appeared.
“It’s the Dark Moon City group.” Someone sneered and laughed, “How boring. Let me guess, it’s just another worthless crater, just like them!”
“The Yan Clan!” Yuan Ting shouted.
He recognized that voice and it was from a participant from the Yan Clan!
All of them could clearly remember the scene of Yan Lu riding on the Furious Golden Rhino and almost crashing into Yu Yuan.
Since it was the Yan Clan this time, Yuan Ting was ready to move out of the way and offer this crater to them.
Even Zhao Yafu felt helpless and shrugged toward Yu Yuan.
She knew that she was definitely not at the same level as Yan Lu.
“No big deal. If they want it that bad, then we’ll be nice for once and let them have it.” Yu Yuan knew that there didn’t have much to start off with, so there was no point for them to stay here any longer.
“Dark Moon City…”
The tall Yan Lu stood on one of the stairs and stopped walking down.
He coughed slightly.
The other Yan Clan’s people also stopped, waiting for his next orders.
Yan Lu’s gaze searched below, moved from Yuan Ting to Zhao Yafu and then to Yu Yuan, and said, “Found anything yet?”
Everyone could tell that he was only talking to Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan remained indifferent as usual. “Nothing, just like any ordinary piece. What are you interested in?”
Yan Lu hesitated.
“If you want, you can check it out and try your luck here as well,” said Yu Yuan generously. “We won’t mind, since we can’t find anything anyways.”
The rest of the Yan Clan’s people looked at Yan Lu, not knowing why he was still waiting.
Because when they found other teams in craters previously, he was always eager to rush in.
Usually, he would just push the other team to one side and take the place for themselves.
If they couldn’t find anything special, they would just walk away as if nothing happened.
Until now, no other team was able to stop them.
But this time they were facing the weakest team, and Yan Lu was hesitant.
They couldn’t understand.
“Not this time.” Yan Lu shook his head. “Since you want us to go down, then there must be nothing good.”
After saying that, he turned back by himself.
Despite being confused, the others in the clan followed him and went away.
“Young Master, why don’t you let us just go take a look?”
After a while, a Yan Clan’s team member asked, “We don’t have to be scared of them.”
Like Yan Lu, he was also at the Yellow Hall Realm’s late stage, but his age was slightly older.
Even though he was in the Yan Clan, he was not from the direct family. On this expedition, he was responsible to assist Yan Lu during the last two months of deadly fighting.
His job was to ensure Yan Lu’s safety at all costs, even if it would take his life.
“If there is something worth a while, I’ll go for sure,” Yan Lu said, “But I figured there isn’t anything, and I don’t want to waste time.”
“Young Master, then why don’t you talk to Yuan Ting but only Yu Yuan?” the man asked again.
“Because he is the core of their team and is harder to deal with than Yuan Ting.” Yan Lu said casually.
The others were stunned.
…
In a corner of a cave, Li Yuchan was staring at a pile of powder that used to be a mirage pearl.
Every pearl was carefully hidden in the stones and covered in disguise, but even so, it was found and destroyed.
So destroyed that nothing was left!
It was more frightening that the pearl wasn’t even able to detect anything before being turned into ashes.
This could only prove one thing: the person who destroyed the pearl never came to this place. That person just used spiritual power to crush it from far away.
That was why she was clueless when watching from outside of the Forbidden Land.
“It’s not hard to destroy a mirage pearl, but it will be a different story if it is destroyed from a distance and crushed into powder!”
Li Yuchan’s face turned serious, she doubted if she could even do it.
“Who can it be? An intruder from the Crimson Sun Empire?”
The Silver Moon Empire had been in an intense state with the Crimson Sun Empire for many years. These two empires often fought battles and were mortal enemies.
There were precedents where powerful cultivators from the Crimson Sun Empire came to the Silver Moon Empire to kill their targets.
Now she strongly suspects that there was someone from the Crimson Sun Empire that wanted to kill every single participant in the Forbidden Land!
