1132: Chapter 289_6 1132: Chapter 289_6 Suddenly, the fierce tiger let out a long howl.
With the words falling, thick scales grew upon its tiger palms.
The next moment, it lunged forward, and in an instant, a terrifying gale swept around.
Wind from the tiger!
The violent wind howled, uprooting the large trees in the distance.
Within the storm, there was also a dense evil qi, attacking both Cao Zhen and Immortal Bi Yue.
Almost at the same time, the mournful cries of resentful spirits resounded from all around.
In Cao Zhen’s field of vision, apparitions of fierce ghosts suddenly emerged, and in a brief moment, thousands of ghosts wailed mournfully, and an endlessly gloomy, dark, bizarre, and terrifying aura assaulted them.
In the darkness of the night, two black auras suddenly appeared from the void, targeting both Cao Zhen and Immortal Bi Yue.
Just as the black shadows were about to invade Cao Zhen and Immortal Bi Yue, Immortal Bi Yue’s divine weapon chimed lightly, emitting a pleasant, crisp sound.
Immediately, a wave of visible force surged from the bell, dissipating the two black auras upon contact.
While Immortal Bi Yue blocked the black auras, she also confronted the giant tiger monster.
Cao Zhen, watching Immortal Bi Yue battle the giant tiger, revealed a puzzled look in his eyes.
The black aura clearly wasn’t something the tiger had unleashed.
Then, where did this aura come from?
He was at the limit of the Golden Core Stage; if there were enemies nearby, he should have detected them.
So, who was behind this black aura?
Was it purely from this world?
If so, would everyone be attacked by this black aura?
Cao Zhen’s thoughts stirred, and he connected directly to his disciples through Zhonghua Cloud.
Suddenly, his vision was filled with gales and flames.
Peak Fire Heavenly Tribulation!
Beneath the night sky, Bei Yan continued to run, and wherever he went, the Wind Fire Tribulation naturally descended.
Just then, Bei Yan and the others were surrounded by strange beasts.
In a short time, amidst the Wind Fire Tribulation, beast after beast fell dead.
Meanwhile, Ling Xi and the others stood at a distance, not offering help, merely watching Bei Yan perform.
Cao Zhen quickly confirmed that his disciples were safe and then contacted Ling Xi through Zhonghua Cloud, asking directly, “Ling Xi, did you suddenly suffer an attack from some black aura before?”
Ling Xi, now accustomed to her master’s voice suddenly echoing in her mind, immediately nodded in response.
“That’s right, Master.
We were just attacked by some black aura.
It seemed to appear out of nowhere, then split into six strands, each attacking the six of us.
However, the black aura felt very weak.
I only had to use an ordinary Five-thunder Righteous Method, and I didn’t even have to use much mana to completely scatter it.”
“Indeed, the black aura you encountered was also very weak, and with six of you, there were six auras.
It seems this black aura really did originate from this world, targeting each individual’s aura.
It might be the danger of this relic during the night,” Cao Zhen mused, not understanding why the relic’s danger was so feeble.
The terrible skeletons and resentful spirits they encountered in the peerless relic they entered before were far more dangerous.
Cao Zhen couldn’t figure out the issue at the moment and could only instruct, “I always feel there’s something strange about these black auras.
You all be extra cautious.
Also, did you see a high tower earlier?”
“A tower?” Ling Xi shook her head, “No, we haven’t seen a high tower, not even a building resembling a tower.”
This time, Ling Xi didn’t converse with Cao Zhen through her mind as only their group was present in this world.
She spoke aloud partly to let her junior sisters know that Master had contacted them again, showing he hadn’t neglected them.
Nearby, when everyone heard Ling Xi talking to herself, they understood that Cao Zhen must have reached out to Ling Xi again.
Yan Yourong and Duo Duo hadn’t even started to speak when Li Ke spoke up with a strange tone, “Sect Leader Cao, to think you’d remember your disciples while ‘flying together’ with the genius fairy of Dragon Chant Sect, you sure don’t have it easy.
I wonder, since you entered this relic, have you found anything?
You are a master of musical rhythm, and this is a musical rhythm relic; you can’t possibly have gotten nothing, right?”
She knew that while Cao Zhen was communicating with his disciples through special means, he could also hear her if she spoke beside him.
Cao Zhen was just about to respond when a dull thud sounded.
Immortal Bi Yue had already slain the fierce tiger.
Despite the tiger’s strength, Immortal Bi Yue was at the limit of the Golden Core Stage.
“Wait, you didn’t destroy the tiger’s hide, did you?
If it’s destroyed, we won’t be able to make a drum skin!” Cao Zhen exclaimed and quickly said to Ling Xi, “I have something to take care of right now.
I’ll find you tomorrow.”
With that, he broke off the connection with Ling Xi.
Ling Xi helplessly turned to the others and said, “Master said he’s got something to do, so he’s gone for now.”
“Oh,” Duo Duo and Yan Yourong nodded, but they gave Li Ke a peculiar look.
Just now, their Mistress had spoken with sarcastic undertones—she must be jealous again.
Feeling their gazes, Li Ke seemed to realize why they were looking at her and deliberately cleared her throat, saying, “That Cao Zhen is infuriating!
When he leaves everyone behind to go off alone into relics, that’s one thing.
But this is a musical rhythm relic, and he’s skilled in musical rhythm.
He must be gaining a lot inside, yet instead of thinking of us, he goes to outsiders.
When he’s with us, the treasures and resources we get all belong to Hundred Peaks Sect, but when he’s with that woman, they have to share any treasures and resources they get.
Isn’t that just favoring strangers?”
Around her, Duo Duo and the others could only nod, not daring to say more.
At that moment, the Wind Fire Heavenly Tribulation triggered by Bei Yan ended, and he flew back, casually saying, “Actually, it’s simple—just make Immortal Bi Yue one of our own, and then she won’t be favoring outsiders.”
After speaking, he suddenly felt the air around him turn ice cold.
