Chapter 94: Chapter 86: Corpse Oil Lantern, Five Viscera Realm (Part 3)

...

Shengyun County.

The hour should have been completely silent, but a deafening roar, like thunder cracking across a clear sky, jolted all the citizens awake.

The ground began to shake with an extremely high frequency, as if a slumbering giant was awakening beneath it.

"Everyone, get out of your houses! Find an open area and stay there!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Hurry! Don’t worry about anything else! Your lives are what’s most important!"

"Don’t push! Evacuate in an orderly fashion!"

Chief Zheng and Zhou Qing were leading the constables from the County Magistrate’s Office, directing the citizens to evacuate their homes.

As they gave orders, they both looked toward the empty space in the distance.

There, a pair of eyes like red lanterns flickered in the darkness and mist.

An eerie, chilling aura filled the air, making one shiver involuntarily.

"Why isn’t Shen Bai back yet? Could something have happened to him?" Zhou Qing asked.

Chief Zheng shook his head. "If something happened to even Shen Bai, I’m afraid Shengyun County would be doomed beyond recovery. Don’t worry, he should be fine."

The worry in Zhou Qing’s eyes did not lessen. "I hope so."

The two didn’t speak further, returning to directing the citizens’ evacuation.

Deep in the darkness, a ten-meter-tall bizarre creature hid within the thick fog.

The Dark Venerable Envoy and the other four Venerable Envoys raised their hands.

In the void, a dark red lantern, fueled by their power, continuously emanated the aura of a Deceitful Object.

"Dark Venerable Envoy, my Qi is almost depleted! How much longer will this take?" one of the Venerable Envoys asked.

The shadows in the Dark Venerable Envoy’s hands danced, communicating with the shadows on the blood-red lantern. Without turning her head, she said, "Just one more incense stick’s time, and we’ll have lured the creature to Shengyun County. Hold on a little longer!"

The creature in the depths seemed to be influenced by the dark red lantern and was gradually approaching Shengyun County.

This Deceitful Object was a gift from the Sect Leader when the Dark Venerable Envoy and the others came here. It was called the Corpse Oil Lantern.

Once the Corpse Oil inside was lit, it could attract the creature. The Dark Venerable Envoy’s shadows were the most compatible with the Corpse Oil Lantern.

That was why the Dark Venerable Envoy was the one leading this mission.

After the Corpse Oil was ignited, it required Qi to sustain the flame. What none of them had expected was how immense the Qi consumption would be.

The giant creature was raised on Yin Vegetables and had now been released, but luring it to Shengyun County was putting immense pressure on the other four Venerable Envoys.

"I can’t... I can’t hold on any longer!"

One of the Venerable Envoys truly couldn’t take it anymore, sweat pouring from his forehead like rain.

The Dark Venerable Envoy turned to look, a gloomy expression flashing across her face.

A shadow silently blended into the darkness, originating from the Dark Venerable Envoy before quietly disappearing.

The other Venerable Envoys didn’t notice, still pouring their Qi in with all their might.

Just then, a fierce gust of wind erupted.

In the darkness, the shadow suddenly attacked. Its targets were the four Venerable Envoys.

The four Venerable Envoys had been completely focused on channeling their Qi. Caught off guard by the sneak attack, they were pierced through the chest by the shadow before they could even react.

A sound like tearing cloth was heard as the dark shadow began to squirm, rapidly widening the wounds.

"Bitch, what are you doing!"

One of the Venerable Envoys, seething with rage, was about to make a move when his vision went black.

The sneak attack was devastating. The Venerable Envoys only had time to let out a furious roar before the shadow churned them into a pile of mangled flesh.

"What am I doing? Taking your flesh and blood, of course."

The Dark Venerable Envoy sneered, her alluring demeanor vanishing completely.

The black shadows, moving as if alive, scooped up the flesh and blood of the Venerable Envoys and tossed it into the blood-red lantern.

The next moment, the once-dim, blood-red lantern became incredibly solid and vivid.

’The Sect Leader once said this Cultivation Technique feeds on bizarre creatures. It’s incredibly vicious and requires a creature that can generate Yin Vegetables—a harsh condition. But now, I can succeed.’

The Dark Venerable Envoy watched the approaching creature, a glint of excitement in her eyes.

The next moment, the Dark Venerable Envoy’s entire body dissolved into a black shadow, engulfing the lantern.

The lantern, as if summoned, shot toward the giant creature.

’The Sect Leader gave me so much just to kill Shen Bai. Shen Bai really is getting the royal treatment.’

The Dark Venerable Envoy’s voice echoed in the darkness.

...

Shengyun County.

The ground, which had been shaking, suddenly fell still.

In the distance, the lantern-like eyes also vanished, as if they had never been there at all.

Zhou Qing and the others, who were directing the evacuation, all froze and looked in the direction the eyes had been.

’What’s going on? How come the creature’s aura is gone?’

The same thought surfaced in everyone’s mind.

But just as this thought appeared, something new and strange revealed itself.

A faintly sultry voice rang out from the distance.

"I’ve finally succeeded! Hahaha!"

Clad in a black robe, the Dark Venerable Envoy rode a black shadow, descending from the sky and landing steadily on the ground.

At this moment, the Dark Venerable Envoy’s appearance was still bewitching, but her face was now covered in a dense network of patterns.

The patterns exuded a cold, sinister aura, like the wind on a winter night, striking fear into people’s hearts.

"Surround her!"

Chief Zheng reacted instantly, shouting the order.

The constables quickly closed in, drawing the Weapons from their waists.

The Dark Venerable Envoy glanced around, sneered, and waved her sleeve.

A bone-chilling aura emanated from the black shadow as it shot out like an arrow loosed from a bow, pouncing on the surrounding constables.

The constables, including Chief Zheng, were struck by the shadow and immediately sent flying, spitting up blood.

A single move was all it took to incapacitate the constables.

Chief Zheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "How is this possible... The Five Organ Realm! Why would someone from the Five Organ Realm come to Shengyun County!"

The Dark Venerable Envoy ran a hand over her red lips. "Naturally, it’s all thanks to Shen Bai. I never expected the Sect Leader’s Cultivation Technique would actually allow me to reach the Five Organ Realm."

As she spoke, the Dark Venerable Envoy glanced around and sneered again.

"Since Shen Bai hasn’t rushed back yet, I might as well kill this mob of commoners. Consider it an appetizer..."
