Chapter 1316: Dark holy marks Tian Long Divine Castle’s people suddenly understood what was going on. Their plan hadn’t worked as they had expected. They had planned on there being other spies, not only Wang Xiao. “Hou Qing Lin!” Tian Long Divine Castle’s cultivators raised their heads and noticed that Hou Qing Lin had already reached the peak of the Zun Qi layer. “Destroy? Ridiculous. Even if you found a way to protect yourself, it doesn’t mean you can destroy us.” said a cultivator at the top of the Zun Qi layer from Tian Long Divine Castle. He sounded confident as then released bestial Qi around him. “Go!” said someone. The strong cultivators from Tian Long looked at Hou Qing Lin and flew towards him. Hou Qing Lin was already releasing reincarnation abstruse energies, the valley was filled with lights. “Reincarnation energies are a terrifying and mysterious power! What should we do?” thought the cultivators from Tian Long Divine Castle. The leader shouted, “Destroy the mountain and move through it to the other side. “Break, break!” shouted the strong cultivators. They attacked the mountain range furiously. However, the mountain range started shining. It wasn’t a mountain range, but a gigantic spell with holy marks appearing everywhere. “Holy marks!” Besides, those holy marks black in color. “Ah...” a horrible shriek sounded as someone’s arm suddenly burnt after touching the marks. That terrifying fire flew throughout the person’s arm and his entire body started burning as well. “Back, everybody move back!” shouted the enemies furiously. “Boom, boom, boom...” the black holy marks were whistling, in a flash, people who were just standing next to the cliffs started burning. “Destroy!” “In Tiantai, nobody can release such powerful holy marks, even Hou Qing Lin!” thought the leader of Tian Long Divine Castle. He raised his head and looked around. “They actually planned on luring us here. Of course, without those terrifying holy marks, we would have easily won, but now, because of those holy marks, things are looking dire!” thought their leader, sighing. He watched as his people were burning alive from the holy marks, his heart twitched. Those people were heroes inside Tian Long Divine Castle... “Everybody, get back!” shouted the cultivator at the top of the Zun Qi layer. A dragon scepter appeared in his hand. “An imperial weapon!” The members of the Xuan Yuan clan and some others felt relieved. No wonder Tian Long was so confident. They had sent a hundred heroes from Tian Long, coupled with the Xuan Yuan Clan, the Yang Clan, other clans, and the imperial weapon: the Celestial Dragon Scepter. “Help me destroy them!” shouted a strong cultivator, glancing at the fire holy marks. The holy marks coupled with Hou Qing Lin’s reincarnation energies, were trapping them in the valley. “Die!” golden lights appeared from inside the scepter and several dragons appeared, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Each dragon was millions of meters long and looked terrifying. Besides that, all the strong cultivators also turned into dragons. “Boom boom boom!” the reincarnation energies shook violently. However, Hou Qing Lin was still in the sky and his reincarnation sword made the energies even more terrifying. The dragon at the front charged into the reincarnation energies, but couldn’t destroy them. “Help me attack the reincarnation energies!” shouted the leader of the group. Then he fused together with the dragons and the Celestial Dragon Scepter also turned into a dragon. “Roar, roar, roar...” dragons roared. The cultivator at the top of the Zun Qi layer wasn’t human anymore, he was an authentic dragon. The reincarnation energies were shaking violently under his attack and at the same time, other strong cultivators were pushing ahead. “Reincarnation energies, break!” shouted a voice furiously. Cracking and explosions sounded as the cultivators from Tian Long Divine Castle were struggling to break the energies above them. If Hou Qing Lin broke through to the eighth or ninth Zun Qi layer, then that would be truly terrifying. He would become as strong as Mu Chen then. It would mean that apart from emperors, he would have no enemy. Only a few people were like that in Ba Huang. “We can’t die!” Tian Chi put his palms together and released some Buddha lights. “Xuan Ting, Lin Xiao, come here!” They both moved to the cultivator at the top of the Zun Qi layer without saying anything. “Why don’t you know about the holy marks deployment spell?” asked the cultivator at the top of the Zun Qi layer. They both shook their heads and said, “First we were together, then Tian Chi, Lin Feng and Mo Qing Tian left, then, Tian Chi sent us here. We didn’t know there were holy marks already in place!” “Tian Chi’s people can’t release such powerful holy marks, not to mention Lin Feng or Mo Qing Tian!” said that cultivator. “Do you think your ignorance is a good reason? People died because of you!” Xuan Ting and Lin Xiao were shaking, soaked with sweat. The cultivator at the top of the Zun Qi layer continued, “We sent you to spy on them and you betrayed us, you’re useless!” 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚 Both cultivators shook violently, they tried to run away, but they weren’t strong enough to escape his attack. The dragon claws fell down on them, “No...” “Kaboom!” metallic ringing sounds ensued and they died. “That’s what those spies deserve!” thought the cultivators from Tiantai, smiling coldly.
