This person wore a hooded robe, with formation patterns flickering faintly across its surface.
The robe was remarkable, imbued with tremendous formation power. It was precisely because of this robe that she could remain here without being detected.
And the person beneath the robe — if Chu Feng had seen her, he would have been somewhat surprised, because he recognized her.
She was the Sect Master of the Wulong Martial Sect.
"Good thing I didn't intervene. That Hellfire truly is the entrance that passes the trial of the Slaughter Heavenly King."
The Sect Master of the Wulong Martial Sect gazed upon the sea of Hellfire and let out a soft exclamation.
It turned out that after Chu Feng had left, she had appeared to return to her own dwelling. In truth, she had secretly followed after him.
As for the Asura Burial Ground, not only did she know about it — the knowledge she possessed far exceeded what others knew.
So even though she saw Chu Feng leap into the Hellfire, and could have intervened to help, she did not.
Because many years ago, when she had been traveling alongside Dugu Lingtian, she had discovered the secret of the Asura Burial Ground, and had learned of the clue left behind by the Slaughter Heavenly King that outsiders were unaware of.
But back then, Dugu Lingtian had not dared to challenge the Hellfire of the Asura Burial Ground.
He had even declared that if anyone dared to challenge that Hellfire and succeeded, that person — whether in strength or talent — would inevitably surpass him.
Even he himself would admire such a person greatly.
At the time, Dugu Lingtian had been stunningly brilliant and brimming with confidence. In terms of talent, he was simply unrivaled.
So the Sect Master of the Wulong Martial Sect had proclaimed that no one capable of surpassing Dugu Lingtian could ever appear.
Since even Dugu Lingtian didn't dare, absolutely no one would dare.
But today, she had witnessed this person's appearance with her own eyes.
The Sect Master of the Wulong Martial Sect traveled through the sky, following the path Chu Feng had taken, and arrived outside the Asura Burial Ground.
Although Chu Feng was long out of sight, she knew the direction he had gone.
She gazed in that direction, then suddenly turned to look back at a spot outside the Asura Burial Ground.
That was the very place where she and Dugu Lingtian had once stood.
"Young Master Lingtian, if only you could see this with your own eyes."
"Someone even you would admire has appeared."
"And what a coincidence — he hails from our Wulong Martial Sect, no less."
When the Sect Master of the Wulong Martial Sect spoke those words, her voice was filled with joy. But in the next moment, it began to choke with emotion...
--- Within the Nine Souls Sacred Clan.
Sima Xiangtu was in high spirits, for after all these days of preparation, his control over the puppet army had reached its peak.
He could finally use the power of the puppet army to activate the Immortal's Cauldron.
"What is this sensation?"
But suddenly, Sima Xiangtu sensed something amiss.
Hurriedly, he returned to his residence, only to discover that someone was already inside.
This person was the son of the Asura King — Prince Mingri.
"Master."
Upon seeing Sima Xiangtu, Prince Mingri immediately dropped to his knees in a deep bow of respect.
It turned out he was Sima Xiangtu's disciple — the mysterious man who had fought Chu Feng on the day Chu Feng went to kidnap Jiang Kongping.
"Your condition… you succeeded?"
"You've shed the body of the Evil Spirit."
Seeing Prince Mingri's current appearance, Sima Xiangtu was quite pleased.
For at this moment, Prince Mingri's appearance and aura were exactly the same as any ordinary human — there was no sign whatsoever that he was a native of the Asura Spirit World.
"I have Master to thank for bestowing upon this disciple the method of cultivation."
"This disciple can now completely break free from the Asura Burial Ground's binding and remain at Master's side permanently."
"Master, this disciple can go retrieve the puppet army for you. Please, Master, lead the way."
Prince Mingri made his request.
