Wind Devouring The World - C120
Seeing this scene, Ocott was so angry that he laughed instead. It had to be said that the defense he had set up had such a big loophole. The person he was trying to capture had already reached his lair, and was even destroying the wall. It looked like he was about to enter. However, no one noticed. Fortunately, they were not high-ranked cultivators. Otherwise, who knew what kind of destructive power they would have. Ocott stared at the scene in the crystal ball, but did not issue any orders. Only the two balls of dark blue flame in the eye sockets flickered occasionally.
Because Necromancers were in a situation where everyone was shouting for them to fight, Necromancers were in a precarious situation. It could be said that they were in a perilous situation. A thousand years ago, Necromancers realized that wandering around could only lead to their own demise. Thus, those who were knowledgeable joined together to form an organization, with the highest level Necromancer as the emperor. Below the emperor was the Elder Hall. The Great Emperor was the supreme leader of the organization, and the Elder Hall was in charge of handling the daily affairs of the organization.
Abraham Alva, the current emperor of Necromancers, had been seriously injured in the struggle for the throne, and had been in seclusion healing, rarely appearing. As the Head Elder of the House of Elders, Ocott was not the one to control the Council of Elders. Sometimes, even his orders were ignored. If it wasn’t for the God Creation Plan being too important, the members of the Elder Courtyard wouldn’t dare to act rashly, and the number of people he could command was very limited. With the appearance of the monsoon and Melinda, a plan emerged in his mind.
The three meter high wall was not enough for even the current monsoon to climb, let alone Melinda. Therefore, he took out the great sword left behind by Reginald and made several grooves in the wall, which made it easier for him to borrow force. Reginald’s sword was still very sharp. The thick granite wall was like cutting through tofu. Very soon, the monsoon had cut out several square holes from the bottom up.
“You go up first, I’ll carry you from below.”
As she spoke, the monsoon held her by the waist and pulled her as high as he could. When the two of them got closer, the monsoon finally caught up to them. Because of the vacuum in the long group, the monsoon could clearly see the view under the gown. However, he only took a glance and immediately shifted his gaze away. Normally, he would have immediately pressed her beneath him, doing some primitive movement between men and women. Right now, he had neither the energy nor the mood to do such a thing. However, this did not prevent him from admiring the petals of the flower that was hidden in the fragrant grass.
Due to the fact that the square holes that the monsoon had dug into the wall were inclined towards the inside, Melinda was able to grasp it tightly and did not get the help of the monsoon. However, leaving the monsoon was not an option when going down. The first to reach the top of the wall stopped there, and the monsoon climbed up from beside her. He looked at the granite floor made of the same material as the wall and jumped down. When his feet touched the ground, he somersaulted and used a tree to stabilize his center of gravity. He did not allow Melinda to jump down directly. Instead, he took out his greatsword and carved out a few square holes in the wall. Melinda immediately pressed her hands against the top of the wall and, guided by the monsoon, stepped into the hole that the monsoon had created. The image of her dress was revealed to the monsoon once again.
As soon as Melinda reached the ground, Ji Feng looked around and immediately decided on which direction to go. Following along the wall, they walked towards the house on the north side.
The reason why they did not encounter any mishaps while they were climbing was because they had already used their spiritual power to check the other side of the wall before Ji Feng made his move. Moreover, as a former powerhouse, he had an instinct for danger. Combined with his experience and spiritual force exploration, he had finally chosen this place as the breakthrough point for climbing over the wall. It turned out that what he said was very true. The whole process went so smoothly that it was hard to believe. However, she was already numb to Ji Feng’s abilities. If Ji Feng failed, she would find it strange.
The monsoon did not know that his actions had been exposed to Ocott from the beginning to the end. Ocott knew that the monsoon and Melinda were climbing over the wall, and that he knew where they were, but he never gave the order. He wanted to see how long it would be before the people he had assigned found out about Monsoon and Melinda.
The courtyard was very large, and the houses inside were all straightforward. It didn’t have the winding paths of ancient China. There were almost no flowers or grass in the yard. There were only towering trees just like the ones in the forest outside.
When they were right in front of the house, she couldn’t help but whisper, “Bajie, did we go wrong? Why haven’t we seen anyone?”
Ji Feng did not expect that Melinda would address him as such, moreover, she took the initiative to delete the word ‘before’. He could not help but feel that he had done it for himself, and said: “I think it’s because this place is too big and there aren’t that many people.”
At this time, Ji Feng’s mood was very contradictory. His contradiction was that he wanted to see both people and people at the same time. He hoped to catch a glimpse of him and ask him about the terrain. However, if they really saw someone, it would mean that they had been discovered. It was not a good thing for them, who were in the middle of the enemy’s territory. With that in mind, Monsoon and Melinda arrived at the house closest to them, just north of the city.
Looking in the direction of the entrance, Ji Feng stopped behind a large tree. He really wanted to use his spirit power to check it out, but because of the change in the Soul Orb, he was temporarily unable to use the spirit power inside it. He did not have much spiritual force in his body, so he needed to save it for the upcoming battles.
“Wait for me here. I’ll go take a look.”
She was very concerned about the monsoon, but she did not say so. There were a lot of things between her and Ji Feng that didn’t need to be said clearly. Ji Feng could see a lot of things from her eyes.
Looking at the tightly shut door, Ji Feng looked around but did not see anyone around. Thus, he walked towards the door. It was unknown if it was because of the corpse flame, but the effects of the curse had been greatly reduced. The zhenqi generated from the circulation of the nameless spell could basically cancel out the curse. As a result, the pressure on his body was greatly reduced.
There were two doors, but they were not locked. When Ji Feng walked to the front, he placed his hands on each door and pushed with a bit of force. With a slight creaking sound, a crack appeared on the door. Ji Feng continued pushing, pushing open the door completely. The scene inside was completely displayed before his eyes. The space inside the house was huge, comparable to the big temples and Taoists on Earth. The interior was not empty, but had coffins neatly arranged on the floor. Directly opposite the door to the left was a small door.
Ji Feng did not go in to investigate. Instead, he turned around and beckoned to Melinda. Melinda, who had been waiting for this moment, immediately ran over. Seeing that Melinda was just about to reach the door, Ji Feng suddenly had a hunch and looked behind her. But he could not see anything. The monsoon, which had an instinctive instinct for danger, quickly approached Melinda. When he reached her, he grabbed her left hand and led her to the door. She did not question him, but merely followed his footsteps.
As soon as two people entered the gate, five people appeared in their line of sight, including an archer. Seeing Ji Feng and Melinda standing at the door, he immediately shot an arrow from his bow. However, Ji Feng’s intuition had already predicted that he would be the first to enter the room. He pulled her away from the door. After which, he released Melinda’s hand, turned around, and began to close the door.
Halfway through the door, the arrow arrived, stuck diagonally in the door, and the sound of it echoed through the room. The monsoon closed the door completely, then began to close the other door. Looking at the five people closing in on him, Ji Feng sped up his pace to close the door. By the time they reached the door, the monsoon had closed both doors. Due to the excessive force, the door clashed against the frame, producing a loud bang.
Ji Feng immediately saw the bolt on the door which was as thick as a man’s arm. He did not waste any time. He immediately put the bolt on the door and ran towards the small door that was diagonally opposite to him. That was their only hope. If that place was a dead end, or if it was just a path to the outside world, then they would not have much luck.
As soon as the monsoon and Melinda entered the room, the image of the crystal ball in front of Ocott disappeared. He put the crystal ball into his interspatial ring, stood up and left the room, returning to the room where the altar was. As he went in, someone poured fresh blood into the trough. He walked to the place where he had been standing and watched their actions.
The instant the image on the crystal ball faded away, Ji Feng looked up. A hint of doubt flashed across his eyes at the same time. Earlier, when he was climbing the wall, he had the faint feeling that he was being watched. However, for this reason, he looked around and didn’t find any clues. Still, the feeling of being watched persisted. It wasn’t until he entered the room that the feeling of unease disappeared.
Before Monsoon and Melinda reached the small door, there was a heavy slam behind them. The two of them sped up. At this moment, Ji Feng saw that the door was locked. He immediately let go of Melinda’s hand and took out the greatsword in both of his hands. With two steps, he arrived before the door and hacked down at the lock with the greatsword held high in his hands. The sturdy door lock immediately let out a sound and put away the sword. Then, he kicked the door open. There was a dull sound, followed by a loud bang. The small door that was kicked open collided with the wall behind it.
Ji Feng took the chance to take a look and found that there was more space inside. There were four rows of metal rods connected to each other on the metal beams. Each metal rod had a metal ring as thick as a bracelet. There was a rope tied to each of the metal rings, not empty, but a young woman and woman tied upside down, their hands tied together, a long, thin tube attached to their carotid arteries, the other end connected to a sealed container. It was actually bleeding. Seeing this, Melinda’s face was filled with amazement. “Ji Feng quickly calculated that there were two hundred and seventy people tied up, men and women half of them, and they were both young.
Ji Feng did not take any action to save these people. Firstly, he could not take care of himself and secondly, these people had obviously lost too much blood. Their blood was almost drained from their bodies. Even releasing them would not help. Not only would it not help them, it would also waste his time. He didn’t think the bolt would hold them for long. Maybe there were already people blocking the way, and they had to leave the house as soon as possible.
Since the center was full of hanging men, Monsoon and Melinda had to walk through the walls. Even though the sound of their footsteps were very loud, those who weren’t hanging opened their eyes. Most of them were already unconscious, and even if they weren’t, their minds were on the edge of being unconscious. This type of person only moved his eyelids a bit, but he was unable to open his eyes.
At the end, they saw a large door. Seeing the door open, Ji Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that there would be no path at the end. If that happened, they would be in a very dangerous situation. But before they reached the door, it was pushed open from the other side.
