Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 345 Enemies Gather Together

For a moment, looking at the shriveled corpse on the ground, which was nothing but bones and skin, the men felt a chill run down their spines.

"Heavens! These people have surpassed the Heavenly God Realm. Among them, the Wei family elder even had one foot in the Supreme Realm, but they still died here."

Lan Xin covered her mouth, utterly shocked.

The Wei family here refers to one of the three great immortal families in the imperial city, which is equally powerful and has existed since ancient times, no less than the Nine Heavens.

However, it is truly unbelievable that such a renowned figure was drained of his life essence and died in such a tragic way.

"It must have been the Blood Demon Clan. Only they would kill in such a grotesque way," Xu Chengdao concluded.

Because there were no large wounds on the bodies, only a small hole on the top of their heads, the murderer was obvious.

However, to their surprise, there were still some experts among the remaining Blood Demons of the alien realm.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to kill renowned figures from the Wang and Wei families.

Clearly, something terrible has happened here; even the cult leader has met a violent end.

"We'd better not go in and explore; it's better to retreat."

Xu Chengdao gradually calmed down after initially noticing the popularity of the immortal sect's Taoist temple, and even felt a sense of unease.

"I'm afraid it's no longer up to us!"

Lin Fan spoke and looked back. He didn't know when, but the mountain path had disappeared and was now covered by terrifying Dao patterns and chaos.

"It's over, we're all going to die here!" The little princess of the Lan family turned pale and couldn't help but shout.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Don't you think this is a trap? Someone is deliberately trying to lure us into it?"

Upon hearing this, the group immediately became alert, their hearts pounding with shock and horror.

The two princes and princesses from the Changsheng family were particularly unsettled, as if they had remembered something and were filled with resentment.

"No wonder, someone in the Nine Heavens is spreading the news that the Immortal Mansion is about to be born, just to attract people from the Longevity Clan."

Xu Chengdao's eyes were deep and sharp. If Lin Fan hadn't reminded them, they would still be unaware that they had all been tricked.

Clearly, the person spreading the message had ulterior motives and harbored great malice, intending to kill all the cultivators here.

"Oh no! The elders who rushed in to fight for the immortal bones may have met with misfortune, just like the Wei family and other prominent figures." Lan Xin exclaimed in shock.

Now, they are in no better shape, trapped on the summit of Xian Mountain, unable to advance or retreat, having also fallen into the enemy's trap.

You must understand that compared to those deceased powerful predecessors, their cultivation levels are far from sufficient, so how could they possibly escape?
Ten deaths and no life!

Without a doubt, their fate will not be any better; they will be buried here.

"Brother-in-law, you possess a Chaos Artifact, do you have a way to leave?" Lan Xin asked, looking at Lin Fan expectantly, her voice sweet and soft.

At this point, if there was any hope of survival, it was only the treasure in Lin Fan's possession.

Therefore, everyone looked at Lin Fan with bright eyes and anticipation.

However, Lin Fan poured cold water on their enthusiasm, saying, "I don't want to leave yet."

"Why? Knowing it's a trap, why not leave? Are you stupid?"

Lin Fan glared at her and explained, "I'm different from you. I came here specifically for this place, not because I was lured here. I won't leave easily until I achieve my goal."

Furthermore, he sensed a corner of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc near this ancient palace, and thus wanted to find it before leaving.

"Let's go in and take a look first. If things don't work out, then we'll leave," Lin Fan said, taking the lead and walking towards the gate, with Qingyang Tianshen following behind.

At this point, Xu Chengdao and Lan Xin were unwilling to go, but they had no choice; if they acted alone, they would not survive.

Of course, Lin Fan was on guard after entering the Immortal Palace, clutching the Chaos Artifact in his hand, wary of a sneak attack from the Blood Demon Clan. But surprisingly, the expected large number of "blood" spots did not appear; instead, it was unusually quiet and peaceful.

Even the entire ancient palace is a hidden paradise, where some ancient trees can be seen, lush and verdant, exuding auspicious energy.

At this moment, if it weren't for the few conspicuous corpses in front of the stone gate, one would think it was a pure land, without any danger.

Just then, a faint fragrance wafted over, so sweet and rich that it made one feel as if they were ascending to heaven.

"A divine medicine!" Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knew that this was the divine object that Xiao Zi had sensed.

The others also smelled it, understood, and all looked in one direction.

Sure enough, a divine herb appeared not far away. It plunged into the soil and sped away, fleeing into the depths of the ancient palace.

"Chase!"

Lin Fan could no longer remain calm, because there were only a handful of divine medicines in the world, and each one contained astonishing value, with the power to bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones.

Even princes and princesses from families with longevity are pursuing it; they cannot escape the trend.

"boom!"

Runes bloomed between Lin Fan's fingers as he struck out with his palm, causing the entire solid ground to tremble and unleash a crimson light.

Finally, he saw it clearly: it was a phoenix grass, entirely crimson, like a burning flame, spewing forth auspicious light, its essence surging forth.

It has nine leaves, and the veins on each leaf are like a phoenix spreading its wings, lifelike and dazzling.

This is a miraculous herb recorded in a bone inscription, very famous, but it has been lost for so long that I never expected to find one here.

"My God, Phoenix Grass!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out, but it didn't belong to Lin Fan and his group of four; it came from another direction.

There were more than a dozen people in total, both men and women, all of them very young, full of vigor and extraordinary presence, and handsome in appearance.

"Wang Chengyu, how come you're still alive?" Xu Chengdao asked in surprise, looking at one of the dozen or so men.

"That's the question I should be asking you." Wang Chengyu's expression turned cold, and the hostility in his eyes was undisguised.

It's obvious that, as young masters from the same family of immortals, the two have always been rivals, not to mention the Xu and Wang families who have a history of enmity.

Not long ago, they had a great battle, which alerted a horde of blood demons, who chased after them, and they scattered and fled.

Unexpectedly, both of them survived, had a stroke of luck, turned danger into safety, and met again here.

"It's you!"

At the same time, a loud shout drew everyone's attention to the two people facing off on the other side.

It was Lin Fan and Feng Xinglie!

"Oh, I thought it was a dog barking, but it turns out to be a swift-running hawk..." Lin Fan teased, with a hint of amusement.

"What, you escaped from my clutches and now you think you're all that again, ready to come and offer up your dog's head?"

His words are always sharp and infuriating.

"You...don't be arrogant!" Feng Xinglie's face flushed red, and it took him a long time to utter these words.

"Brother Feng, you lost to this kid?" Wang Chengyu asked in surprise, because he also had a conflict with Lin Fan.

Back in the ancient city, he had tried to intimidate Lin Fan and seize the Soul-Nourishing Wood. If Xu Chengdao hadn't appeared, they might have fought back then.

Even now, Wang Chengyu still harbors ambitions to seize the Soul-Nourishing Wood from Lin Fan.
