Chapter 366: Fated

Seeing that Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed a bit of a different look, with a thought, Ming Xiu flicked the sleeve of his left hand and a cyan-coloured bangle similar to the ice bangle suddenly appeared on his wrist.

“I also have a cyan bangle which is a pair with the ice bangle, can you see it?”

One of them was ahead and one was behind as they rushed, and they constantly used Divine Sense telepathy.

Lou Mu Yan lowered her eyes and saw the cyan bangle that suddenly appeared on Ming Xiu’s wrist, “I can see it. Can you hide it?”

“Yan, it seems that we’re really destined to be a fated couple!” Ming Xiu’s voice was filled with a rare excitement, “The only man and woman who had been recognised as Owners of the cyan bangle and the ice bangle at the same time are only the two of us.”

“Is this pair of bangles made by someone from your maternal clan?” Lou Mu Yan asked curiously.

To be able to refine such powerful Divine Tools, or possibly even Divine Treasures, then how high was the level and talent of that Smith!

“It’s said that an Almighty in my maternal clan made it to gift to his beloved woman, but when he had finished refining this pair of bangles, his beloved died in an accident, and that Almighty actually followed and buried himself together. The blood essence of the two people eventually merged into this pair of bangles, and they became Tool Spirits.

“He left a legacy before his death. The heir of the clan each generation can refine the cyan bangle and gift the ice bangle to the woman in his heart. If both of them can get the recognition of the bangles as Owners, then they don’t need to pass it on anymore.

“But if one party couldn’t be recognised as Owner, then they must be passed on to the next generation to continue the inheritance, until the day when the two bangles recognise the Owners together.” Ming Xiu said leisurely.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t expect the ice bangle to have such a story, “So that’s how it is.”

“Mm. We’re their destined people!” Ming Xiu smiled merrily and said: “By the way, after your cultivation base reaches Sword Venerable, as long as you activate the second layer of the bangle, then you can hide it freely. Even a Sword Deity can’t discover it.”

“Mm.” Looking at the tall, handsome man’s back, Lou Mu Yan murmured softly.

Judging from the level of the two bangles, they weren’t only mysterious but also of high level, and they didn’t look like something that this Continent should have.

Ming Xiu’s identity also wouldn’t be as simple as Monarch Ming of the Nine Layers Hall of Tian’ling Continent either.

The corner of Lou Mu Yan’s lips hooked up. She knew that Ming Xiu hoped that she would get to know him little by little, so she naturally wouldn’t disappoint his expectations.

One day, she would slowly reveal his true identity, and she liked to deepen her love for him in this way.

How boring would it be if the secrets of the two were exposed and disclosed in front of each other just like this!

She rubbed the ice bangle and felt its joy for her, and the curvature of the corners of her lips gradually deepened. She sure was looking forward to the surprises when the second layer of the ice bangle was activated!

When the several people reached the top of the mountain, they saw the missing pupils of the Six Major Sects all lying unconscious on a huge stone.

“They’re actually really here.” The leading pupil of the Vast Mountain Sect glanced at the abyss surrounded by Dark Evil Force in the distance in fear. His gaze was complicated as he looked at the pupils lying on the boulder, then asked Ming Xiu: “They let us find them this easily, could there be any tricks?”

“They’ve tried this hard to lead us to come here, so their purpose definitely isn’t pure. Everyone should be careful.” Ming Xiu nodded and said.

[CLAP CLAP!] Then a series of claps sounded and a handsome man in purple loomed out from behind the boulder. He looked at them with deep intent and said: “The Six Major Sects are indeed the top forces of Tian’ling Continent. You’ve arrived much faster than I expected!”

With his appearance, all the men in black lurking in the vicinity came out.

“Who are you? What is your purpose of luring us here?” Ming Xiu looked at the man and asked lightly.

The purple-clothed man chuckled: “Naturally we’re people who will take your lives.”

Then a man in black behind him leaned to his ear and said: “Second Commander, the Array has been activated.”

“Good job.” The purple-clothed man smiled and patted the shoulder of the person beside him, but then who would’ve expected that he grabbed that person’s neck and said: “You should sacrifice yourself for the Dark Soul Beast.”

As soon as the purple-clothed man’s voice fell, Lou Mu Yan and the others saw that he had twisted the man’s neck and even stabbed him, then tossed him in front of them.

Blood flowed from the man’s body and instantly a bloody scent spread throughout.

A black light cover rose from the ground and tried to trap the pupils of the Six Major Sects within it.

Both Ming Xiu and Lou Mu Yan noticed the change, “Be careful! Hurry up and separate!”

After Ming Xiu reminded the others, he landed beside Lou Mu Yan in a flash, took her into his arms, and when he reappeared, he was already beside the boulder while the others didn’t have such reaction speed, so they were all trapped within the Array.

Of course, the two didn’t hug each other any longer when they reappeared.

At the moment of danger, the first thing that Ming Xiu thought of was Lou Mu Yan, and his actions moved with his mind as he took her away.

In fact, Lou Mu Yan was also ready to escape, but Ming Xiu was a step faster and took her out of the range of the Array.

The scent of blood grew stronger and stronger, and the black light cover of the Array rippled. A dark black beast suddenly emerged from below the ground and sucked out the Soul of the dead man in black and swallowed it.

“Wh-What the hell is this thing?” The leading pupil of the Vast Mountain Sect saw the giant black beast that emerged from the hole, covered with eerie scales, its eyes not only as large as buckets, but also glowed with a green light. With only one look, it was truly terrifying.

Jin Se rolled her eyes, and while surprised, she said without a good attitude: “The man just now said that he would make a sacrifice for the Dark Soul Beast, so this monster must be the Dark Soul Beast in legend that’s said to be born from Dark Evil Force and specifically devours the Souls of humans and Demonic Beasts.”

The Dark Soul Beast was a kind of Soul Beast cultivated by a Devil Cultivator. It was powerful and ferocious by nature, and the conditions for raising it were very strict. It must have been raised in a crypt with Dark Evil Force.

The growth of the Dark Soul Beast was extremely sinister, and it must erode and devour the Souls of Demonic Beasts and human Sword Masters that only just died to be able to advance in cultivation base.

“Tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect that there’s a unique person in this group of trash.” The man in purple casually glanced at the people trapped in the Array, then locked his eyes on the peerless Ming Xiu.

Because he saw how Ming Xiu moved to take Lou Mu Yan away from the Array earlier, plus her average cultivation base, so she was directly ignored by him.

In his eyes, Lou Mu Yan was a woman who used her beauty to cling to and rely on Ming Xiu.

“Those Wandering Cultivators and Mercenaries who disappeared and died are the people you all lured and trapped in an Array to let the Dark Soul Beast to devour, yes?” Ming Xiu’s eyes were still indifferent, but his voice was piercingly cold, “And our Six Major Sects were also plotted against by you.”

“Indeed. This Dark Soul Beast is about to advance, but it lacked the energy it needed to advance. While you Six Major Sects’ prodigious pupils will be its greatest nourishment.” The purple-clothed man revealed an eerie smile on his face.
