Spirit Vessel
chapter-904

The white spiders had top masters here with acute divine intent. Feiyun didn’t feel safe despite using his invisible cloak.

The demons were among the strongest of their race - truly dreadful beings.

More white spider armies arrived as time went on. Their march spanned for thousands of miles.

A scale-armored beast led the way. A humanoid demon stood on its back while holding a spear, looking like a god.

Feiyun chose to be as far down the ground as possible and kept a safe distance from this army. After a while, he smelled a thick stench of blood. There was enough on the surface to seep all the way down here.

He quietly made it up and saw a massacre. The ground was filled with corpses and blood along with the weapons that killed them.

This place used to be the tiger-wolf lair but now, they have been wiped out. The formations have been reduced to ashes.

‘The grave is right here? That’s why the white spiders are eliminating all living beings including other demons.’

The powerful weapons and corpses have been taken away. There were still 100,000 corpses of minor demons left. Most were damaged and dismembered.

The white spiders didn’t care for these corpses but Feiyun didn’t mind in the slightest. He put all of them away.

He swiftly finished this task before trailing behind the army again. He found that they have eliminated six more lairs - golems, treants, ants… They did the same with the corpses and he didn’t mind picking up the rest.

He eventually found that he wasn’t the only one doing this. Others were following the army and gathered the corpses too, not leaving much for him.

‘Who’s bold enough to follow this demonic army?’ The only reason why he did it was due to his invisible cloak.

Did the others have exceedingly effective stealth techniques? They could hide from the top masters’ divine intents?

He acted prudently and didn’t want to be involved with others. As he moved forward, he eventually saw two figures.

‘Oh, it’s them.’ He saw a male and female daoist. Both were quite young.

The man was handsome with his black hair tied in a crest, looking like the apprentice of an immortal.

The woman was beautiful - tall and slender with ample breasts. She had a blue robe so her movement looked as if she was dancing in the sky - a transcending image.

They hid their presence and gathered corpses into their spatial stones with great speed. It only took fifteen minutes for them to gather ten thousand corpses.

“Sis, who do you think this guy is? How is he courageous enough to follow this army?” You Zilin asked. A trigram symbol floated above him and hid his aura.

“Don’t worry about him. I think the grave of a demon saint is opening soon, this army must be going there. We can’t lose them.” You Ziling held a lamp. She had gorgeous eyes and long eyelashes; her eyebrows were exquisite. Auspicious fog floated around her.

The twins from Lifeless Palace leaped upward and disappeared from sight. Feiyun didn’t give chase and decided to stay away.

***

The realm turned dark as night fell. The white spider army camped next to a mountain range. They remained vigilant with patrols everywhere.

Feiyun sat by a lava lake, around three thousand miles from the camp. Occasionally, patrolling demons would fly by but they couldn’t see him due to his stealth formation.

As for the turtle, it was holding a pitchfork with an impaled fish. It used the temperature from the lava river to roast the fish and looked to be in a good mood.

Who knows where it got the fish from but this fish was a dozen times larger than the turtle. Could it actually finish eating the whole thing?

The turtle chewed and spoke at the same time: “It won’t be that easy opening the grave. It’ll cause a huge commotion too. I’m sure they’ll seal this realm and kill everything inside before doing it.”

“Boom!” Suddenly, an explosion miles away caused the ground to shake.

Feiyun got up and stared in that direction. Meanwhile, the turtle didn’t care and kept on eating.

Two blue figures crossed through the sky - the twins from Lifeless Palace. They have been spotted and were being pursued.

“Trigram Seal!” You Zilin summoned a yin yang moon, killing several hundred demons at the same time.

These twins were the strongest geniuses in their sect, possessing top weapons. They massacred the pursuers; blood stained the ground and armor pieces scattered everywhere.

“Demon Subduer Lamp!” You Ziling was stronger than her little brother. Pure daoist energy circled around her as she activated her lamp, blowing thousands of demons away and creating an opening.

Unfortunately, a top master of the white spiders finally took action. Two palm seals arrived and easily suppressed the twins.

A top-level demoness arrived and sealed their cultivation before chaining them.

Feiyun wasn’t far from there and suddenly had an idea. He used his secret technique to hide his human aura and release his demonic aura.

He used the Golden Silkworm Scripture to make his hair white. His fingernails became long and shiny. His eyes brimmed with a demonic presence.

He put on a set of armor and a sword that he salvaged from before and then joined the army, heading towards their main camp.

The demons came from all over the place and didn’t notice Feiyun sneaking in.

“You bunch over there, escort these two human cultivators to the prison with me.” A golden-armored demoness with long hair pointed at Feiyun and three more humanoid demons.

Feiyun grabbed a chain, its other size was tied around the neck of the female daoist. She stared at his back, thinking that he looked quite familiar.

He followed the demoness into a floating fortress made of metal. Inside were human prisoners; some were ancestors of the ancient clans.

“Demoness, what are you plotting?!” An old man with messy hair shouted. His wrists and ankles were tied to the wall. More iron chains coiled around his bloodied body. His cultivation has been sealed but other demons didn’t dare to get close.

The leading demoness smiled sinisterly at him yet she was still as beautiful as an angel: “Whip him thirty times, let him know what we want to do to him, haha!”

The lashes seemed to be hitting his very soul, causing him to bellow in pain.

“Wretched humans, daring to seize our land and resources and killing our kin? Show no mercy.” The demoness had nothing but animosity towards humans.

“Absolutely, Lord Bai Yi.” The three weaker demons and Feng Feiyun agreed.
