As if sensing the stone bead’s arrival, the painting trembled violently.278Please respect copyright.PENANAILq418B8Nf
Boom…278Please respect copyright.PENANARQUxCTJUe4
The painting cracked apart from the middle as if it was slashed in half by an invisible force. Like a huge door, it opened up.278Please respect copyright.PENANAw5u4KcRdVX
It was pitch black inside the painting, looking just like the mouth of a mysterious giant beast. Nobody knew where it led.278Please respect copyright.PENANA16CHiVURGQ
“Let’s go,” Chui Sang said. He was trembling, but filled with determination for the chance that he had been searching for during the past couple dozen years – the chance to change his fate!

278Please respect copyright.PENANA0jOywl0buM
The bonfire weakened, and next to it lay a pile of chicken bones.278Please respect copyright.PENANA3J4rgqWlJY
The entire space was still filled with the fragrance of wine and roasted chicken, and the two teenagers were having an enjoyable meal as they chatted.278Please respect copyright.PENANArPIVoOz7dv
Only after some time did Chui Yim remember to introduce himself. “I’m Chui Yim, what’s your name?” He placed his fists together.278Please respect copyright.PENANA6EFdj6398J
“I’m Siu Fu.” Siu Fu stood up and returned to courtesy.278Please respect copyright.PENANAgq23rpK1Bd
“I bet that Brother Siu is here for an adventure too.” Chui Yim smiled. “Since fate brought us together, why not discover this place together? We can look after each other too.”278Please respect copyright.PENANAmIptrT7MsB
“I was thinking the same too.” Siu Fu shook his head, laughing.278Please respect copyright.PENANAhXcJd8Zf5t
The bonfire was put out, and the teenagers embarked on their journey. They chatted happily on their way, and both parties shared the sentiment that they should have met sooner.
They were in a forbidden area, so there were definitely unique traps and mechanisms all around, but both of them handled them all well and took care of each other at the same time. Seeing that the other was able to pass the hurdles so simply, the admiration both parties had for each other increased.278Please respect copyright.PENANAN404bKBPHY
Of course, the hurdles were a piece of cake to them considering both of their identities. Siu Fu was the Bloodstained Hill's Sacred Icon and the sacred son of necrocultivation. Despite remaining hidden from the world, the tribe's history worth a thousand years was not weaker than any of the large organisations.278Please respect copyright.PENANAidPWtMn8ms
As for Chui Yim, he was the seventh teacher of Cloud Palace, the institution that produced all gliphs in the world. After spending four years in Cloud Palace, he was no longer the rowdy boy of the past.278Please respect copyright.PENANAMSfttNVBxK
This trip might’ve been dangerous to others, but it was nothing tough for the teenagers.278Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wjx5GjjWU
With their cultivation state and treasures, ordinary treasures were unattractive to them; Siu Fu could take any treasure in the Black Promise Tower’s Treasure Pavilion, while Chui Yim could have anything that the seniors did not want from the Purifying Cloud Pavilion. Thus, they had a higher scope for treasure.278Please respect copyright.PENANAuRcDl6WCzG
But Chui Yim was here for a reason. He held the unnamed fire bead in his hands as he followed the invisible energy that was leading him to an unknown destination ever since he went into the passage.278Please respect copyright.PENANA1XmBag4bHB
“Who are you!?”278Please respect copyright.PENANAwuFXxuN849
Suddenly, the route in front of them was lit up brightly; they were blocked by men holding torches. Chui Yim clearly felt that they were blocking where the fire bead was leading him towards, while a smile formed on Siu Fu's face. Indeed my opportunity.278Please respect copyright.PENANAoq5OVDRLS1
The teenagers seemed to walk around the place randomly, but Siu Fu could naturally tell that Chui Yim was following a treasure's lead instead. Now that he saw the destination was heavily guarded, there was no doubt a great opportunity waited for them there.
Chui Yim turned to Siu Fu. “Brother Siu, shall we?”278Please respect copyright.PENANAwcA8SdzqH6
Siu Fu was stunned. He liked how Chui Yim entered him into the fight without even asking him because the other treated him as a friend.278Please respect copyright.PENANA5k8a1xAn9C
Friend?278Please respect copyright.PENANAqeuPaIynJQ
Loneliness didn’t hurt Siu Fu, but it still felt good to have a friend.278Please respect copyright.PENANACbAwR8gLcp
“Okay.” Siu Fu agreed.278Please respect copyright.PENANAWExubUKFeL
“Let's crush these empty vessels!” Chui Yim laughed loudly.278Please respect copyright.PENANA4x7949nNH7
“What an arrogant kid!” Hearing them, some of the gliphers were angered and slashed their blades at them. Maybe it was because of their leader, Wild Sand Blade Lee Kwong, but they all used blades. However, his slash was stopped in its tracks by a pale, slender hand.278Please respect copyright.PENANAQpEiPNouh2
“No ordinary weapon can hurt me.” Chui Yim exerted force in his right hand and crushed the blade with his bare hand. He sent another punch into the glipher’s abdomen.278Please respect copyright.PENANA8PbARZU4JK
Barefooted, Siu Fu walked forward calmly and with determination.278Please respect copyright.PENANAjsWuDny7Ui
Without any visible actions, the gliphers coming at him fell to the ground.278Please respect copyright.PENANAZrHQ8ju1wJ
If Chui Yim was a violent tornado, then Siu Fu was a deep swamp that took down the opponents before they could even figure out what was going on.278Please respect copyright.PENANArZluY0BX0o
With tacit agreement, they did not try to figure out each other's style, but they were still able to identify some characteristics of each other's style.278Please respect copyright.PENANAyoA0txKWcG
Siu Fu could tell that Chui Yim had a powerful body, which was evident seeing how he crushed weapons with his bare hands and how he moved so cleanly and quickly.278Please respect copyright.PENANAlYctAAgxD0
Chui Yim could also tell how Siu Fu had rapid footwork. The opponents seemed to fall of their own accord, but in reality, it was him who kicked them and caused them to faint without the opponent even noticing.278Please respect copyright.PENANAErJOLPiNsS
“Indeed powerful!” The both of them thought of each other.278Please respect copyright.PENANAPkKvhzHnym
All those who stayed to guard the passage were mediocre gliphers. The actually capable gliphers had already followed Lee Kwong and Chui Sang into the door.278Please respect copyright.PENANANcwnzJvzQ0
When Chui Yim and Siu Fu reached the door, there were many unconscious men behind them on the ground.278Please respect copyright.PENANAqHZypkgfEc
“Let's go.” Chui Yim strode in without hesitation despite it being pitch black inside. Siu Fu followed Chui Yim in.
278Please respect copyright.PENANA5opfJVVn24
278Please respect copyright.PENANAqaucJVF3VX
278Please respect copyright.PENANAIHzim0rptb
278Please respect copyright.PENANAfP6obDkNjP
Chui Sang and Lee Kwong led the way, followed by three men behind them. As the most powerful cultivators under Lee Kwong, they were aware that Chui Sang was their actual leader.278Please respect copyright.PENANA9VFHmcWCkF
Strength was insufficient for humans to survive in the world; if not for Chui Sang's brain, they would never have become the leaders of this area, able to act as they liked.278Please respect copyright.PENANAF0iiGu4TbA
Chui Sang ignored them and passed the chilly passage into a huge hall.278Please respect copyright.PENANAFXt6HdCACE
It was huge in size, spacious, and dozens of meters tall. Nine red wooden beams shot from the ground as if holding up the sky to prevent it from falling.278Please respect copyright.PENANAAMDIjJzDI2
Chui Sang only focused on the altar behind the beams.278Please respect copyright.PENANA7R2YYOFckF
The altar looked like those used to pray for good weather, but what was different was the metallic lotus platform on the altar, which was greatly worn out, looking like it was about to break down the next minute.278Please respect copyright.PENANAfrnMg49ksS
On the platform, there was a ball of flame. The flame was ivory in color just like solidified milk, but the way it was waving in the air showed that it was a ball of flame.278Please respect copyright.PENANA9P2pDurTAK
Behind the nine beams and the altar, there was a pitch-black shadow, as if ink had poured down from the heavens.278Please respect copyright.PENANAEjyod2t4Za
It's true! Chui Sang trembled. It did not lie to me!278Please respect copyright.PENANA7UQz7tHREV
He hurried over to the altar, and the bead he held in his hands tightly flew out towards the altar no matter how hard he tried to hold it. The bead became black and kept changing as it flew towards the altar.278Please respect copyright.PENANAYtJ4TYHX70
Shockingly, it was an eyeball, and Chui Sang even saw that it was a fully black eyeball with only its vertical pupil shining in a weird white colour.
