Chapter 327: Hidden Dragon

Ye Shuhua didn't say anything at first, hence Fang Yuan didn't really notice much.

However, after taking a good look, he couldn't help but nod to himself, "Not bad, not bad, they're of a decent size. Especially the sister…...I never thought..."

"You..."

This time, Ye Shuhua was so angry to the point that she didn't bother hiding her skills. She started to circulate her energy to dry her clothes outright. When her gaze turned to her surroundings, which were in a bad state, she was shocked, "You chased Yi Xie away?"

"Not chased away, killed!"

Fang Yuan revealed the black rope in his hands.

"I never thought... I really never thought..."

Ye Shuhua's eyes were filled with shock, "This Yi Xie is rather famous among those in the 3rd Tier of Illusionary Divine Stage. He can form arrays with his mind and also has the assistance of 9 Child Ghost Mother. In the past, he fought against someone in Illusionary Divine Tier 4 and managed to retreat successfully. Who knew that he would die in your hands!"

"I was just lucky!"

Fang Yuan waved it off, " we'll leave as soon as possible once you've partially recovered. There has been too big a commotion here. It's too dangerous!"

"Ok!"

Although Ye Shuhua didn't know that they had already fulfilled the required numbers for the blood ritual, she could remember the mutual deception they had gone through. Hence, she had no trust for dream masters, possibly even less than for members of the Horned Wing Tribe!

"This time I managed to get a great haul so it's still good enough. After this, I'll find some cave to hide in and quietly wait for a powerful being to take control of this Hallow!"

"Pui!"

Right after Fang Yuan finished his sentence, Ye Shuhua couldn't stop herself from saying, "Find a cave... to hide in?"

"In front of powerful beings, we are all just ants. In order to live, so what if I hide in a cave? I'm only afraid that when the time comes I can't even hide in one!"

Once he was done, Fang Yuan swiftly left with a disappointed expression on his face.

On the other hand, the hairs on Ye Shuhua's arms instantly stood up and she gazed towards the skies.

The blood-red hue had already covered most of the sky while small black cracks began to appear and spread outwards.

"This... This isn't taking control of this Hollow; it's tearing the place apart right?"

Her lips slowly parted and disbelief appeared on her face, "Why is this happening?"

"I'm afraid it can't be helped!"

Fang Yuan remembered that Tianmu Mountain was just nearby and a serious look flashed in his eyes.

...

Da Qian World, Tianmu Mountain.

The originally grand peak had already been split through the centre, almost as though as something had squeezed it to the point of breaking.

In the skies, cracks started to appear and spread, reflecting the situation in the Hollow in it.

"The sky is cracking! The sky is cracking!"

At the nearby large city, people said their goodbyes and left, gazing towards the sky. Some knelt and prayed while others fled towards the Jade Capital with fear written all over their face.

Cultivators were also among them.

Everyone knew that cultivators were much more knowledgeable, but at this point in time, they were even more afraid.

With this sort of situation, some higher powers must have clashed with each other. One did not have to look far for the horrific example of what happened to the Divine Lotus Cult, hence who would dare to gamble with their lives?

Thus, they brought their whole families, including all young and old, to flee to the Jade Capital.

Three beams of light appeared above the clouds and they looked towards a large, grand, and almost demonic figure with expressions of fear on their faces, "Lord Hidden Dragon? Are you going to start an all-out war with us?"

The Old Mother of Tianmu asked with an ugly look on her face.

"Just the likes of you can't represent the Five Great Alliances!"

Lord Hidden Dragon only appeared as a shadow but it could cover the entire sky and sun and had an oppressing aura. Its voice had an unusual charisma about it, "For someone at my cultivation level, what's the purpose of lying to you? Your five great factions only begrudgingly joined forces for this Hollow, and the Prominent Divine Stage dream masters will only sit in the back lines at the very most, not even coming to the front lines!"

"Indeed... After you defected to the Imperial Court, you've become more shameless than before!"

Elder Smelter and Old Xue looked at each other, speechless.

Lord Hidden Dragon, the Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards, was a true Prominent Divine Stage powerful being! To others, he could be called the creator! A Sage!

However, for a Hollow, he actually sent a magical clone over.

If they knew about this in advance, they would have asked the top experts in their ranks to attack!

But now it was too late!

'Although I have the ability to cross worlds, I cannot be disturbed while doing so... Now that Lord Hidden Dragon has personally come forward, releasing energy from a distance has become impossible!'

Elder Smelter's mind moved quickly, "It's just a Hollow, so why does it seem like the Imperial Palace will stop at nothing to obtain it?!"

Producing a Prominent Divine Stage expert required aptitude, determination, and luck. It would already be very good to be able to produce a dream master at the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine Stage even with the complete inheritance of Sage Changli, much less if one only had a Hollow.

At this moment, Old Mother of Tianmu and co. looked at each other and reached the same conclusion, "No matter what, the Imperial Court must not obtain this Hollow! Even if we destroy it!"

"I'm afraid that there are secrets that I have not decrypted in this Changi Hollow!"

Elder Smelter roared, "Let's attack together. Our opponent is just a magical clone. I don't believe that he would come here personally!"

"You guys…... really want to fight me? Are you not afraid that you will die here?"

Lord Hidden Dragon grinned, "Don't forget, we're close to the Jade Capital! Even if you ask your alliance for help now, which of our sides will arrive faster?"

This was the geographical advantage.

Old Mother of Tian Mu and co. were stunned. They couldn't think of anything else other than hate on the appearance of the Changli Hollow at this location

"Dao Friend Hidden Dragon... Why do you have to appear in person for this small fight between the young ones? Wouldn't that be a little embarrassing?"

At this moment, a crisp voice echoed down from the heavens. Rainbow coloured clouds appeared with the silhouette of a green imperial chariot above them.

Dragons and phoenixes danced and two rows of servant boys and girls played the drums and blew reed pipes. Purple energy shot towards the heavens, reaching thousands of metres high.

"It's another magical clone of a Sage!"

Elder Smelting and Old Xue stared at one another with a suspecting look in their eyes.

"So it's Lord Yin!"

Lord Hidden Dragon chuckled, "My imperial court might have large territories and great industries, but its expenditure is great as well, so I can't do things as extravagantly as you do and have to be a little more prudent... You want to fight over this sort of small benefits with me?"

"Originally... I was going to pass on this Hollow to give you some face. However, great intelligence may appear to be stupidity. On the surface, you seemed to be insulting yourself, but actually, you were insulting others, so I must come to fight with you over it!"

When Sages hatch schemes, while they did not know the past and future completely, they could get a clear idea of the general flow of events.

The ploy of baiting one's opponents with a show of weakness wouldn't work at all.

Lord Hidden Dragon remained silent, this being the first time he felt that things were steering beyond his control.

"Lord?"

Two figures behind him asked. Despite being at the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine Stage, they were just insignificant servant boys.

"Inform King Qian to assemble the men and get ready for an all-out war!"

Lord Hidden Dragon directly sent out the message, "This Hollow is extremely important. Even though all dream masters research into the mystery of the source, Sage Changli, who has not reveal his knowledge in this area, is possibly the person closest to the truth. This previous information must not be obtained by the enemy!"

"Source... The source of dream masters' powers, that world of the legends?! Sage Changli actually found traces of it?"

The two figures only then realised what was going on, and a chill ran down their spine, "We understand!"

...

Rumble!

Mountains collapsed and the ground split open; floodwaters clashed against molten lava!

Inside the Changli Hollow, the ground cracked, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes... All sorts of natural disasters burst forth in an instant, giving everyone the impression that the end of the world had come.

In reality, to this small Hollow, it was really armageddon!

"Go!"

A rock the size of a small hill landed and the Ye family sisters stared at it blankly without daring to make a single step.

In that crucial moment, Fang Yuan's body turned into lightning and he grabbed the both of them while flying out of the affected area.

Rumble!

Behind him, a loud noise rang out. Shards of rocks flew everywhere, each of them not weaker than the hundred kilogram rocks used for sieging a city.

"Kill!"

Fang Yuan's eyes turned cold as he calculated where to step. Waving his hands, two streams of fire and water sword essence were produced, which cut the giant rock into two.

Crack!

Web-like cracks appeared on the surface of the ground, and underneath them, dark red lava bubbled as though as it was a frothing river.

Suddenly, a pillar of fire shot into the sky, bringing with it a fountain of lava. This ignited the plants around, causing a giant forest fire.

"This…...What is going on?"

Once the three of them fled to the edge of a large lake, Yu Shuhua asked in a shocked state.

"The Hollow is collapsing. Can't you notice something this obvious?"

Fang Yuan was frustrated as he retorted with a question of his own.

"Impossible!"

Ye Shuhua shook her head, "Even if others started fighting with the royal family outside, the many lords don't have the power to destroy the Hollow...Unless..."

"Unless it's a creator, a Sage that made a move!"

Fang Yuan coldly replied.

"Elder sister... I'm so afraid!"

At the side, Ye Shumin grabbed her elder sister's sleeves tightly while she was distraught.

"Since the Hollow is collapsing, these calamities are simply an appetiser…...The true test has yet to come! Regardless whether it's the wind of destruction or the spatial tears, we'll die if we meet either of them!"

Giving out a long breath, Fang Yuan added on, "Now our only hope is that the Prominent Divine Stage powerful being's side will emerge victorious quickly and take control of the Hollow completely, then perhaps we might have the chance to live!"

"Impossible!"

Ye Shuhua gazed at the frothing surface of the lake while smiling bitterly, "This Changli Hollow is very close to the Jade Capital so the Imperial Court has the geographical advantage while out Five Great Alliance can't even maintain an appearance of peace for long. Perhaps they are even in conflicts with each other, hence it's impossible for them to be united. Otherwise, would there still be any issues with the Imperial Court?"

"That's bad!"

Fang Yuan guffawed, "The Sage is like a giant crocodile and if it swallows this piece of fat meat by taking control of the Hollow, we will be reduced to powder!"

"This is the worst case scenario, so what we experience shouldn't be that bad right?"

Ye Shuhua meekly asked. Even she did not have much confidence in her question.

…...

"Demon!"

At the center of the Hollow, in a cluster of buildings that were over a hundred times more majestic and beautiful than anything that existed before, six Horned Wing Tribe members were jolted awake. They gazed at the breaking sky, roaring in rage.

Their figures were tall and perfect with four pairs of wings on their back. The feathers on their wings had a slight tinge of gold and their horns looked like they were made of pure gold.

As the sound waves propagated, a terrifying amount of energy spread outwards, stabilising the palace of many kilometres in radius.

"The Hallow is shattering. The grand tribulation that the Sage prophesied has come!"

They looked at each other, and all of them were very determined, "The treasures that the Sage left behind must not be taken by the demons from the outside!"
