Nightfall

Back To The Verdant Canyon

Hengmu Liren frowned. He recalled something and could no longer feel calm and cheerful. Instead, his face got distorted and he seemed extremely enraged, especially when he lowered his head and looked down.

His divine gown was very loose so that he could easily see his own chest when looking down.

Although he was the son of Haotian, he was after all a mortal in the human world. Therefore he had two nipples. But right now there seemed to be a third one, which was a black chess piece.

The black chess piece was deeply implanted in his flesh which made him feel sick.

“I’ll kill you all.” Hengmu Liren growled, “I will kill you all for sure!” His young and sharp voice resounded above the lake. The cavalrymen from the Divine Halls and a dozen of red-robed divine priests fell onto their knees in fear and did not dare to say a word.

Hengmu Liren was indeed enraged. He thought he would have broken into Chang’an, or at least arrived at Chang’an by then. But actually he was … still in Qinghe Prefecture! He had powerful subordinates, many cavalrymen from the Divine Halls and over a hundred thousands of troops. Yet he was blocked to the south of the Verdant Canyon… by the Tang people!

The Verdant Canyon again. Just like many years ago.

Hengmu Liren used to sigh over the fact that Jun Mo had lost one arm and could no longer defend the Verdant Canyon by himself. He had lost his chance to defeat Jun Mo at his full glory.

At the same moment, Jun Mo was in the West Wilderness. The Eldest Brother was not here, nor was Yu Lian, Chen Pipi or Ning Que… However he was still blocked to the south of the Verdant Canyon!

The troops from the Divine Halls of West-Hill fought against the Southern Battlefront Army of the Tang on the fields to the north of Qinghe Prefecture for dozens of days. There were ups and downs on both sides. Then Hengmu Liren himself joined the battle only to be ambushed by the Academy and got wounded!

His previous sighs seemed like slaps in his face now. Whenever Hengmu recalled this, he felt sharp pains on the face and could not help becoming extremely enraged!

“A few nobodies at the level of Seethrough… how could you stop me?” Hengmu Liren kept looking down at the black chess piece. His distorted face was enveloped in disgust and his teeth were grinding, which sounded chilling.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath again. The layers of gauze around his sacred sedan danced violently in roaring wind while the air above the lake was completely inhaled into his chest.

His chest raised slightly and the divine gown fluttered. But this time he did not cough.

An unworldly power came to the human world and was charged into his body.

Upon a low bang the black chess piece implanted in his chest was smashed.

He opened his eyes and looked toward the Verdant Canyon. There was nothing but distinctive killing intent in his eyes.

His wound was healed. And those people were doomed.

…

…

Ever since the Qinghe Prefecture defected, the Verdant Canyon had actually become the gateway of the Tang Empire and the Academy. Because to the south of the Verdant Canyon it all belonged to Taoism. They had to defend the Verdant Canyon no matter what.

During the universal war against the Tang many years ago, the empire had activated the array they concealed in the Verdant Canyon for hundreds of years, and sacrificed Professor Huang He and the array masters from the imperial court. This led to the failure of their countless enemies and powerful cultivators. In the following years, Tang was rebuilding and restoring the channel through the Verdant Canyon.
