Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 624: Chapter 386 Long Yin Gathering (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Guo Jia and Sima Yi)

Not long after Zhao Sheng had fled, two tunneling lights suddenly raced from a distance and landed atop a desolate mountain.

The light faded, revealing two figures, one tall and one short. One was a black-robed elder, and the other, a younger woman in palace attire, both exuding the formidable aura of the Golden Core Realm.

The pair scanned the bloodied ground, their expressions turning ugly at the sight of the shattered remnants of the Jade Scorpion’s shell.

“It is indeed the White Jade Scorpion King! It seems we’ve arrived a step too late, Master Jade Scorpion’s fate is more likely dire than not,” the black-robed elder grimly stated, picking up a piece of the scorpion shell.

The woman in palace attire waved her hand, summoning a White Bone Tower. Muttering incantations, she spread a swath of white light across her surroundings.

Wherever the white light swept, a mass of dark energy rose from the ground, turning into a dense aura of death.

Seeing this, the black-robed elder’s face darkened even more: “Humph, it seems that Jade Scorpion is already…”

“Who did this? Together, Jade Scorpion and his Scorpion King were as strong as a Golden Core Ninth Stage Great Master. Could it have been the hand of a Nascent Soul Ancestor?” the woman in palace attire guessed, shocked.

The elder’s complexion changed as he scanned the surroundings, feeling slightly uneasy.

If it was indeed a Nascent Soul Ancestor who had committed the deed, their presence here was extremely dangerous.

“We can’t delay further; we must report this to the Divine Venerable immediately.”

The elder’s eyes flickered, and just as he finished speaking, he took out an ancient dark mirror and threw it into the air.

As light danced across its surface, numerous mysterious runes appeared and flowed within it, and then a sacred and dazzling Light Man slowly emerged from within the mirror.

Enveloped in a faint golden hue, the Light Man’s features were unclear, but his mere appearance released a terrifying pressure that commanded awe.

“We pay our respects to the Divine Venerable!” The black-robed elder and the woman in palace attire immediately bowed deeply, their expressions extremely devout.

“What brings thee to awaken me?” the Light Man asked indifferently.

“Your Venerableness, the recently subdued Master Jade Scorpion has been killed by someone unknown. When we arrived at the scene, the murderer had already fled far,” the black-robed elder hastily explained.

“Oh, as expected, Jade Scorpion indeed has perished,” the Divine Venerable commented, not appearing surprised in the least.

“Was it the Dragon Roar Organization that made the move? Let me take a look,” he said.

Upon those words, the dark surface of the mirror began to ripple, and a spread of golden light emanated from within it.

The light spread like water, instantly covering the entire mountain.

As the golden light slightly rippled, the scene within the light rapidly changed, mirroring a reversal of time, as images swiftly rewound to the past.

Amid the quickly shifting scenes, a short but terrifying battle unfolded.

However, in the images, Master Jade Scorpion’s figure was clear, but the figure he was battling was extremely blurred, merely a human-shaped white light,

“The Divine Venerable’s Time Reversal Great Divine Power is truly miraculous; no matter how cunning the murderer is, he can’t possibly escape from the palm of the Divine Venerable,” the black-robed elder flattered.

“Judging by this aura, the murderer is also of the Golden Core Realm, very powerful, and also a master of the Concealing Technique. This person is no simple matter!”

The Divine Venerable in the mirror eyed the battling figures and commented more seriously.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the two Golden Core Masters present showed shock.

“Divine Venerable…”

“You two come back! No need to investigate further for now. If you encounter this person in the future, retreat immediately. He is beyond your capacity to handle. I have plans for the Dragon Roar Organization,” he directed.

Upon hearing this, the black-robed elder and the woman in palace attire exchanged a look, and both nodded repeatedly.

Shortly after, both turned into beams of light that shot up into the sky and disappeared in an instant.

…

Half a day later, a white disc-shaped boat burst through the clouds and descended sharply, landing above a valley of snowy peaks in the Cold Mist Mountain Range.
