Chapter 123: Fighting Bei Sect

Houyan Meili snorted as her wings flapped rapidly, flying into the space the formation was protecting.

Lu Zheng rubbed his nose and followed after her.

Within the hidden space was a flat plain of grass that stretched as far as the eyes could see.

Buildings were erected and a large pagoda stood at the very centre.

Fifteen thousand martial practitioners were arranged in a battle formation before the pagoda.

Their body was completely covered with purple scales and a long tail protruded from their backs. Their green eyes had black vertical slits for pupils and two horns stood dominantly on their scaly heads.

The martial practitioners were all from the Flood Lizard race.

Seated within the pagoda was an Acquisition realm expert of the Flood Lizard race. His eyes were locked on Lu Zheng and Houyan Meili that had just entered the hidden space.

It was obvious that he had been expecting them.

A martial practitioner ran towards him before quickly bowing: "Lord Cedric, the Sect Concealing Formation had been destroyed"

Cedric's green eyes shined with a malicious lustre as he nodded to the martial practitioner before him: "It is all going according to plan.

Tell the troops to ready themselves for a bloody battle. Our esteemed visitors have arrived"

The body of the martial warrior stiffened but she controlled herself and left with a bow.

Cedric's demeanour changed slightly as his tight expression relaxed. He walked into a secret room and spoke to another man: "Lin Feng, Chang Court's martial warriors have come like you said"

"Hmm" Lin Feng drew in a sharp breath. "It is like I speculated. Stealing the Deep Blue Sea Flame would incite Chang Court to send martial warriors to save their face. It's good that the Vermillion Bird is here, we can proceed as planned"

"I understand" Cedric muttered before walking away.

Lu Zheng stood mid-air as his Sea of Consciousness engulfed all of the plain before him.

His soul injuries had healed and his soul had reached new limits.

Before accepting the mission, he had increased his soul foundation with the last of his soul cores to the ten thousand man soul level.

The Sea of Consciousness was like an ethereal murky sea that swept through everyone below.

Every martial practitioner that was engulfed by the Sea of Consciousness felt like they were naked without any secrets at all.

The few Void Passage realm experts stiffened and sent death glares in Lu Zheng's direction.

Lu Zheng's expression changed as he faced Houyan Meili: "There are two people inside the pagoda, both at the Acquisition realm"

Houyan Meili's eyebrows furrowed as she shouted in the direction of the pagoda: "Cedric, you coward! Get out now! I know that you are hiding inside!"

Cedric flew out of the pagoda and rubbed his chin awkwardly: "Houyan Meili, coming here will be your death"

Purple radiance filled the sky as a grand formation was activated. The martial practitioners below felt a wave of strength course through them as the Sky realm and Void Passage realm experts flew into the sky.

The remaining Domain Formation realm martial practitioners attacked Lu Zheng and Houyan Meili with vigour from below.

"You can die now" Cedric chuckled before retreating to the pagoda.

Houyan Meili snorted as her wings flapped.

She wanted to chase after him but six Void Passage realm experts quickly surrounded her.

"Hmph!" Houyan Meili struck out with her hand as red and pink Vermillion True Flame combusted on one of the Void Passage realm experts.

"Haaa!" The Void Passage realm expert screamed and died on the spot.

The rest showed expressions of fear but quickly composed themselves, fighting Houyan Meili without care.

Lu Zheng faced four Void Passage realm experts and a number of Sky realm experts.

His body was red and his long hair had become a mix of red and white. His pupils were also red and blue.

Wind currents revolved around him as thunder boomed from within him, blue lightning criss-crossed his body. Space seemed to turn and twist around him.

Despite being only one man, all of his opponents regarded him with fear. They didn't even dare attack him.

Lu Zheng chuckled as wind rippled invisibly from him in all directions.

The Flood Lizards surrounding him did not notice it until they were struck.

"Gah!" Blood sprouted from their mouths as they backed away in fear. Before they could react, the second layer struck them again.

Thunder energy ran amuck within their bodies as they convulsed uncontrollably.

The ones farther distanced themselves from Lu Zheng as fear paled their faces. The initial vigour from the formation had already disappeared.

Lu Zheng smiled as he absorbed the souls of the Flood Lizards that died from Eight Layered Thunder Flow: "If you won't come to me, then I'll come to you"

Space twisted as Lu Zheng spatial skipped behind the Void Passage realm experts with Mei Luan in his hands.

Vermillion True Flame burnt on one side as a bone chilling cold emanated from the other.

The opposing energies did not conflict but seemed to support each other. Whoever was stabbed or cut would be burnt by Vermillion True Flames and ice would freeze their insides.

The Void Passage realm experts fell in droves under Lu Zheng's attacks.

Houyan Meili freed herself from the last two Void Passage realm experts before her and flew rapidly towards the pagoda.
