Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Terrifying Images Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Terrifying Images The young man in white gently descended into the Feng family courtyard.
The Feng family members could all feel the strange aura emanating from the man, giving everyone an extremely unsettling feeling.
That aura was very evil, just as Feng Wuchen had said, filled with resentment and a gloomy atmosphere!
Having examined him for a long time, Feng Wuchen and the others could certainly confirm they had never seen this man in white before, let alone someone with the cultivation of the Fourth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm.
So young, yet possessing such a terrifying level of cultivation, he surely must be an extraordinary talent.
“Are you Feng Wuchen?” the man in white asked with a smile, looking at Feng Wuchen, his demeanor carrying a hint of arrogance.
The arrogance of the man in white did not seem forced, appearing to be innate, exuding an air of superiority.
The man in white definitely had an impressive background.
Feng Wuchen asked indifferently, “Who are you?”
The man in white replied, “Murong Tian.”
“Murong Tian?” Feng Wuchen frowned, the name suggesting a connection to the Murong family.
“Are you the son of Murong Tianlie?” Feng Qianyang asked in shock, taking a closer look, he found Murong Tian bore a strong resemblance to Murong Tianlie.
“What? The son of Murong Tianlie?” Xiao Qingqing and others were greatly alarmed. Could this be a quest for vendetta on behalf of his father?
The more they looked, the more alike they appeared, and what was even more shocking was that Murong Tian’s strength was even greater than Murong Tianlie’s!
No one expected that the Tai Xu Sect could harbor an even more terrifyingly powerful individual!
Huanyang said in astonishment, “His cultivation is actually stronger than that old thief Murong!”
“Sort of, but I severed ties with him six years ago!” Murong Tian said with a faint smile.
What? Severed ties? What was going on here?
Feng Wuchen and the others listened in confusion, their faces revealing utter bewilderment.
Murong Tian said indifferently, “I am not here because of Murong Tianlie; his death is of no concern to me. I am here for the Tai Xu Sect.”
“Do you want to take revenge for the Tai Xu Sect?” Huanyang asked with a frown.
“Although I have cut ties with Murong Tianlie, I cannot ignore the deaths of so many brothers in the Tai Xu Sect,” Murong Tian said, a trace of arrogance appearing at the corner of his mouth.
After a brief pause, Murong Tian continued, “Of course, that’s secondary. I’ve heard that Feng Wuchen is very strong, being able to kill a Third Layer Tianyuan Realm expert with only the cultivation of the First Layer. I really want to test how strong you are; that is my true purpose.”
Bai Yunqi shouted angrily, “In the end, isn’t it just about seeking revenge?”
“You can understand it that way if you like,” Murong Tian said with an indifferent smile.
“Wuchen, be extremely careful, this person’s strength is unfathomable,” Feng Qianyang cautioned in a low voice. Murong Tian gave him a feeling that was much more horrific and vicious than Murong Tianlie.
“I know,” said Feng Wuchen, furrowing his brows, careful not to underestimate Murong Tian.
Murong Tian’s strength was formidable, and his eerie aura gave an uneasy feeling. He was the most threatening and powerful opponent Feng Wuchen had encountered so far.
With Murong Tian’s fearsome power, he alone would be enough to flatten the four great empires.
Although Feng Wuchen’s strength was also terrifying, he was definitely no match for Murong Tian, even if he were to bring out the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower to suppress him, it might not be enough.
“Buzz buzz!”
Murong Tian slowly rose into the air, the terrifying power within him stirring, causing the void and the earth to tremble in an instant. It was as if the entire Unmatched City was shaking, terrifying the citizens to the point of panic.
The extreme terror of the oppressive force was like a tsunami, leaving the Feng family members weak and pale with extreme fright.
Even Feng Wuchen, in front of this dreadful pressure, felt a trace of stress.
“His strength is too terrifying! Much more horrible than old thief Murong!” Huanyang exclaimed in dread, unable to muster any strength in his body.
Not even confronting Murong Tianlie had they felt such dreadful pressure.
“Is this the strength of the Tianyuan Realm Fourth Layer?” the senior members of the Feng family were astonished with fear.
Apart from Feng Wuchen, no one could withstand this dreadful oppressive force.
Looking at Feng Wuchen, Murong Tian faintly sneered, “Worthy of being the number one talent of the Yanhuo Empire, able to withstand my aura; indeed, you have some skill.”
With that, Murong Tian suddenly retracted his aura, and the terrifying power dissipated. He sneered, “I’ve heard you have a half Immortal Artifact, the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, with frightening suppressive power. I’d love to witness it, but now is not the time. I have more important matters to attend to, but I will come for you later.”
His words fell, and Murong Tian’s figure vanished in a flash, his speed was terrifying, as if he had never been there.
With the withdrawal of the terrifying aura and pressure, the Feng family members could finally catch their breath; the oppressive force had been truly horrifying.
“Who would’ve thought Murong Tianlie had such a fearsome son!” exclaimed Feng Qianyang, his face pale with shock.
“This man’s strength is indeed fearsome; judging from his aura, it’s almost comparable to the strength of the Tianyuan Realm Fifth Layer!” Feng Wuchen said gravely.
“The Tianyuan Realm Fifth Layer?” Huanyang’s eyes widened in shock.
“Chen Er, he’s clearly here for revenge,” Xiao Qingqing warned again, her heart filled with inexplicable panic.
“Grand Commander, what’s with his aura? I’ve never felt such a strange aura before!” Huanyang hastily inquired.
“It’s an evil aura! It’s related to the cultivation technique he’s practiced. There are many evil cultivation techniques in this world. Even those with uninspiring talent can possess terrifying cultivation speeds through certain means or secret methods,” Feng Wuchen said gravely.
“An evil aura?” Everyone couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
“Murong Tian showing up at this time, could he also be after the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower? Or could it be related to the Family Head being captured?” Bai Yunqi speculated.
“It’s possible,” Feng Wuchen nodded, then added, “Huanyang, let’s head to Yanhuo City immediately.”
“Alright!” Huanyang suppressed the terror and unease in his heart, then quickly followed Feng Wuchen to Yanhuo City.
The mysterious incident in Yanhuo City was indeed unthinkable.
The bodies of tens of thousands of soldiers turned into skeletons overnight. Such a bizarre event couldn’t be ignored.
With Feng Wuchen’s fearsome speed, the journey from Unmatched City to the border town of Yanhuo City took merely half an hour.
When they arrived at the large mountain where the soldiers were buried and saw the vast expanse of skeletal remains, they involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air.
The fallen soldiers’ bodies had all been transported to the mountains, and a batch of them had already been buried. The rest, not yet handled, had all turned into skeletal remains. Even the bodies of the soldiers that had been buried had become skeletons.
In just a short three days, bodies don’t decay so quickly, let alone without even a hint of the odor of rot.
White bones were scattered everywhere, filling the mountain. The shocking and horrific sight was something Feng Wuchen had never seen before.
Such a terrifying sight would scare anyone half to death, and those with faint hearts might faint on the spot.
“What in the world happened here?” Feng Wuchen murmured in puzzlement as the two descended beside Duan Tian Hun and his group.
Duan Tian Hun said solemnly, “This king has no idea. There are no clues. I thought it was the work of ferocious beasts, but there are no traces of their footprints, and besides, the ferocious beasts of Divine Valley have never left the valley.”
“Did anyone see anything?” Feng Wuchen asked.
Situ Zhentian replied, “We’ve asked everyone; no one saw anything. There wasn’t even the slightest disturbance.”
Feng Wuchen frowned slightly, then walked over to a skeleton, crouching down to examine it closely. “The skeleton is very clean, not a trace of blood on it, and even the smell of blood has disappeared,” he observed.
“Grand Commander, do you see anything?” Ye Cangqiong asked.
Feng Wuchen shook his head, replying, “I can’t tell, but one thing is certain—it’s the doing of a human, not a ferocious beast. If it were a beast, these skeletons wouldn’t have been left behind.”
Feng Wuchen walked to the center of the skeletal remains, his gaze fixed on the ground. “With so many bodies, the blood should have seeped into the soil, but the soil beneath these skeletons has no trace of blood at all.”
“That’s right, there’s not a drop of blood here. The soldiers at the other passes also turned into skeletons without any blood. It’s too strange!” the soldiers all nodded in agreement.
“When this king arrived at the outskirts of Yanhuo City, there were no traces of fresh blood on the ground either,” Duan Tian Hun stated gravely.
Outside Yanhuo City, which was a battlefield, countless soldiers had died, and blood had flowed like rivers—it was impossible for there to be no trace of blood.
“With the war between two nations, the heavy casualties of soldiers and the strong scent of blood might have lured out the white ants from Divine Valley. Only white ants could have devoured the flesh and blood of the soldiers clean overnight,” Ye Cangqiong speculated.
“White ants?” The thought of the white ants from Divine Valley made everyone shiver uncontrollably.
Feng Wuchen shook his head, very sure of himself, “It’s definitely not white ants. The ferocious beasts of Divine Valley dare not enter the Empire. If it were white ants, how would the disappearance of the blood on the ground be explained?”
Feng Wuchen stood up, his expression grave, “The flesh and blood of the soldiers disappearing into thin air and the vanishing traces of blood on the ground point to only one possibility.”
“What possibility?” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Feng Wuchen.
“Their flesh and blood were absorbed by someone,” Feng Wuchen stated solemnly, his guess stemming from the memories of the Evil Dragon God.
Only such a theory could make sense.
But who could have such formidable power? To absorb the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of soldiers overnight, without alerting any soldier?
“Absorbed by someone?” The thought of Feng Wuchen’s speculation caused Duan Tian Hun to break out in a cold sweat.
If indeed someone had absorbed it, wouldn’t that person be terrifying beyond belief?
“This… this can’t be possible, right? Even if someone absorbed it, how could they absorb so much?” Luanshen spoke while trembling, the mere thought evoking horror.
“Grand Commander, could it be him?” Huanyang suddenly realized, the memory of Murong Tian, who emitted an evil aura, rushing back to him.
Feng Wuchen nodded, saying, “It’s highly likely it’s him!”
“Who?” Yang Tianxian asked.
Feng Wuchen frowned, “The son of Murong Tianlie, Murong Tian!”
“Murong Tianlie’s son?” Duan Tian Hun and the others turned pale, utterly shocked.
“That’s right! It’s him! When he came to the Feng family, he was looking for the Grand Commander. He had an evil aura about him, very horrifying, and he possessed a Fourth Layer Tianyuan Realm cultivation!” Huanyang explained.
“The Fourth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm!” Duan Tian Hun and the others turned even paler, their faces revealing sheer terror.
