Chapter 663: Blinded

Chapter 663: Blinded

A cosmos sack was something forged of extremely rare materials. It was even rarer than spatial rings. As Smiling Monk had said earlier, not even sovereign weapons could break his cosmos sack. That was why he felt safe enough to leave Xiang Shaoyun to his own devices once he was trapped within the sack.

And yet, the sack had cracked apart. Smiling Monk couldn’t even react before Xiang Shaoyun vanished with a flash of nine-colored radiance, leaving behind only a broken cosmos sack.

“W-what in the world is that?” Smiling Monk blanked out.

“Monk, what happened?” Ugly Gambler turned back and asked.

“That kid has gone missing,” Smiling Monk said.

“What’s going on? Did you kill him?” Ugly Gambler questioned.

“Look, even my precious treasure is broken. That kid is definitely hiding a big secret,” said Smiling Monk, regret in his voice.

“Forget it. Just ignore him for now. We need to first get out of here,” yelled Yao Jiaojiao.

Wasting no time, the three charged out of the tunnel. With their strength, even when injured, Ren Zhijiu’s group wouldn’t be their match. It was basically impossible for Ren Zhijiu’s group to finish the three villains. The moment the villains attacked, the group was disadvantaged.

Wearing saint armor, Ren Zhijiu was able to stall the villains for a bit. However, his remaining party members were completely helpless. To make matters worse, Winter Frost and Summer Flame had escaped during the crucial moment.

“Those two old bastards!” Ren Zhijiu cursed with regret.

His entire group was slaughtered, and while Ren Zhijiu thought he could escape, he was ultimately captured by Yao Jiaojiao and had his saint armor stripped off him. One could say that this group from the Ziling Sect was as good as fully destroyed.

If Xiang Shaoyun knew that, he would be wild with joy. One could say that his plan had progressed smoothly. At present, he had arrived at an unknown location. It was all thanks to the chakram that he had been able to break free of the cosmos sack.

Using the nine-colored fog, he powered the chakram and broke the cosmos sack. He even broke through the sealed space, entering the divine site the three villains dreamed of entering.

But once inside, he did not have an impression that the place was a divine site. Rather, it was like a world of endless darkness, and he couldn’t see anything, as if he had been locked in a dark prison.

Fortunately, he was able to remain calm as he extended his Nether Soul Domain’s senses, trying to make some sense of his surroundings. Unfortunately, the only thing his Nether Soul Domain sensed was an endless darkness and nothing else.

“What kind of a shitty place is this?” Xiang Shaoyun muttered gloomily.

He had activated the chakram to escape, not enter this weird place. He took out a night pearl, trying to bring some light to his surroundings. However, it failed terribly, and the darkness immediately corroded and assimilated the pearl.

“What power is this? Even the night pearl is rendered useless.” Xiang Shaoyun was speechless.

He wanted to open a path with his chakram, but he was worried that it would bring him to an even scarier place. Therefore, his only choice was to slowly search his surroundings in hope of finding a way to escape.

But then, he felt the darkness gradually assimilate his eyes, turning him into a blind man incapable of seeing anything. He panicked.

“Impossible! How can I be blind? Impossible!” He couldn’t accept it. He opened his eyes wide, focusing his energy into his pupils, trying to regain his sight.

Alas, nothing he tried worked. He had truly sunk into a world of eternal darkness, losing his sight. His entire body turned cold as he blanked out with despair. When one turned blind, one would forever lose the light, forever unable to see the faces of one’s loved ones, unable to see anything one wanted to see. It was a sensation of despair, something terrifying.

“AHHH!”

Xiang Shaoyun roared madly, erupting with all his power. All nine of his stars activated, and even his draconic aura started baring its fangs, displaying his anger. Unfortunately, nothing changed. He was still blind. He started losing hope, feeling like there was no meaning to life anymore. Perhaps his fate was to slowly wait for his death.

Xiang Shaoyun’s body started drifting about, his aura stilled completely, as if he was a dead man. An unknown amount of time passed. Perhaps it had been a day, a month, or a year. Time continuously passed.

Dragon Phoenix Academy.

Di Lin had received news of Ren Zhijiu and his group’s death. His entire body turned cold.

“How can that happen? How?” he roared.

“Based on the report from Old Winter and Old Summer, they were killed by three of the Seven Villains from the Bloodsin City. The Seven Villains are also trying to get their hands on that place,” Di Shang said.

“Three of the Seven Villains? Audacious!” Di Lin clenched his teeth in anger.

“What do we do now? The commotion caused is so big everyone is aware of that place now. Do we still keep trying?” Di Shang asked.

They might be siblings, but Di Lin was the actual leader.

“Go back and tell Father to give up. I asked my master about it. From the fact that he is completely indifferent, it is obvious that the academy has long discovered the place. They are not afraid that anyone will create trouble there. Perhaps it is just a trap, not a divine site,” said Di Lin with a sigh. “How about Xiang Shaoyun? I heard Lady Shura is back, and we have yet to receive any news from Zhu Changchuang even now.” 

“Zhu Changchuang is dead, and Xiang Shaoyun is still alive,” said Di Shang with a look of indignation.

“What’s up with that? Are Old Winter and Old Summer completely useless?” Di Lin was furious.

“We can’t blame them, alliance master. Xiang Shaoyun had found some unknown helpers, and now even Old Winter and Old Summer aren’t their matches. They were forced to escape with serious injuries,” said Di Shang.

“Where did Xiang Shaoyun find such helpers? Are they the backup forces that old bastard Xiang Yangzhan had left behind?” Di Lin asked gloomily. “He has already reached a certain degree of power. If we don’t suppress him now, something bad will happen to the sect sooner or later. Inform me immediately once he returns. I will fight him to the death.”
