Celestial Peak Chapter 444
Advertisement
A worldly phenomenon happened and only those with the Primordial Bloodlines felt its wave. The only ones other than the Impostors outside the Tomb was Roan whose smile failed to waver in anticipation of the coming bloodbath.
"A bloodbath? That's not good."
"You don't seem too perturbed about the situation, young lady. Are you not worried about your lover—"
"Please, don't refer to me about him in such a way." Chang Ping said with absolute seriousness, "He and I will never be in such a relationship."
"…okay, I thought he was a nice guy, didn't peg him to be hated this much."
"No… sigh*… I do not hate him but his wife will kill me at the thought of such a thing."
The thought of vying for the right to be Wang Ling's lover wasn't exactly foreign to Chang Ping. She admired him and even though she was in love with him at some point in time, Chang Ping already saw Bai Xue… and her devotion to him was no laughing matter.
She had seen the bloody night of the Sprouting Lovers. When Wang Ling perished and the Wang Family was hailed as a part of the Great Families, numerous people claimed to be Wang Ling's spouses and children. Hundreds came in droves, and hundreds were killed under the wrath of the grieving Bai Xue.
Roan could see the absolute terror under Chang Ping's eyes, and considering how this woman had enough sword intent to cut the skin of a Devil, Roan did not take her words to be simple. He chose to stop thinking about the matter.
"Either way, he's most likely the one these frauds going after you know?" Roan was surprised by her calmness.
"Is that… wait, what? Then we better help him!"
"Can't, I want to tear the formation down but it will only swallow everyone inside the crushing tomb. And because of personal reasons, I can't intervene in the Mortal World. I'll say pray that he'll live, but the Beloved Creator died a long time ago, so just hope he escapes…hmm?"
"What? What is it?" Chang Ping asked as Roan suddenly began acting weirdly.
Roan didn't answer her all of a sudden, he just stayed silent observing the situation.

His Devil eyes allowed him to peer past the formation, and as seconds went on, Roan's face changed multiple times, "I think your friend has a chance now."
Inside the Tomb.
"May I ask what's your intention in coming here?"
The Wang Lings lined up, and before them was a woman with long white hair standing before them, sword in hand.
She wore a mask and her feminine voice echoed in the group of frauds' ears. They all smiled at her words and then one of them stepped forward, "To take a walk, that is all." The fraud answered and then flicked his sword with grace bringing out a sword.
The woman just sighed and as she did so, she swung her sword on the ground and created a line, "Anyone who crosses this will die." She said these words as vast killing intent drowned the frauds.
The frauds smiled at this and answered back with a wave of killing intent of their own that melded to devour the woman's, "How cute." The frauds said as one quickly moved and dashed forward.
As several of them dashed towards the woman, the first to touch the line beside her was the first to see a flash of crimson light, "Heralding Blade: Phoenix's Beak."
STAB!
One of the frauds actually had his head pierced after the woman's frontal assault. Though a Fraud, he was still a Wang Ling, and for to die this easily lies at the fact that he did not think that this woman would actually go and attack him because at this moment, as the woman killed out, seven swords were coming for her.
Blood Seeking Sword: Blood Falls
Blood Seeking Sword: Culling River!
Blood Seeking Sword: Sunrise Blood
Streaks of pure killing intent went to threaten her life, and then, all of these attacks connected to her back!
None severed any body parts, but her back that was left wide open suffered numerous fatal wounds… yet, she did not die.
The woman stood there, and as the one she killed flopped on the ground, she controlled her back muscles and then held onto the fraud's swords and then twisted her entire body, and with but a single slash, she severed the head of another fraud.

The rest, now apprehensive of the situation looked at her with curiosity, not fear but simple curiosity.
The woman stood, and with seven swords on her back, she looked at the frauds, raised her right hand, and taunting them to come, "I won't let anyone in this place die. Now, why don't you come and try killing me if you can?"
FWU!
A set of Phoenix Wings then sprouted behind her and then with an eerie smile underneath her mask, "Oh yeah, do I still look cute?" she asks as she oozed with Phoenix Qi.
Qinyang stood against the flood of Wang Ling.

"Do you think he is dead?" Yuan Qing asked as she and her twin still looked down at the opening on the magma, she touched the magma's surface, felt its heat, and just sighed saying, "Oh, wait, I can still feel the beat of the Bell through the magma, he's still alive."
Yuan Ming nodded, "He won't die do not worry. With the Bell of Heaven answering his call only meant one thing, that he's someone capable of controlling the highest levels of Heavens… at least what's left of it anyway. Well, either way with this we can safely say that he's the original." Yuan Ming finally admitted the truth.
Yuan Qing of course nodded and just agreed with her twin's words for she too drew the same conclusion, but, something else mattered, "Then, should we leave? A lot of nuisances are coming, and quite frankly, I do not want to deal with it. This guy should be able to survive the encounter, he'll get found out sooner or later anyway. We don't need to stay here and protect him."
"Well, we can, but do you think Qinyang will agree? She had been hunting for the Impostors like she has a vengeance against them, why not just let her fight them and be done with it? Letting her learn how to fight was the goal anyway." Yuan Ming calmly said.
Yuan Qing agreed, "Good idea, we get to sit back and watch while Qinyang suffers, and she gets to enjoy killing as she gains life and death combats, we should find her and prepare her to fight them all."
"I agree, let first let me check where she is…" Yuan Ming rummaged within her clothes and then brought out a dagger's scabbard that accepted her consciousness within it like a Spatial Ring.
Yuan Ming likes using such an item instead of a ring as it makes her less glamorous. A black plate appeared atop her palms. She poured her qi into the tiny contraption and above it formed the entire area of the Tomb.
These two had actually already explored the tomb in its entirety, see a couple of things, stole some interesting item, and then left the majority to the youths. They had no interest in this tomb, only Qinyang wanted to go here with the reasoning, "It's interesting."
Though the two were now more than thankful to her because they met with someone, they did not think they would meet. Yuan Ming who had planted the other part of the device to Qinyang saw a black dot on the red area within the image of the tomb.
Yuan Ming pinpointed Qinyang's position, but she furrowed her brows.
When Yuan Qing saw this, she just let out n exasperated sigh and asked, "Is she at the entrance waiting for them?"
"Yes… I think she's already fighting against them all… I know she was raised to be a good person, but sometimes I wish she's a little bit sinister, you know? She's a massive pain and a nuisance at times. Should we even go and see if she'll make it?" Yuan Ming said as she kept the device away.
"I don't even know why we always help her. Sigh* I am really considering letting her take care of this on her own. She didn't even let us know what's happening. Sigh, that girl is just, a ball of headache, isn't she?"
The twins began raining down abusive words onto Qinyang, they were already speeding towards their friend, ready to fight with her.
