Chapter 2170 The Unseen Enemy

"Left?" Bei Cong frowned slightly. Si Junyi shouldn't have left without telling him. Perhaps he went somewhere else in this tomb.

Thinking of this, Bei Cong motioned with his chin towards Dongfang Lou and the others. "Let's go."

"Are we leaving?" Xi Hong frowned in dissatisfaction.

"You can stay here," Bei Cong replied, too lazy to argue. He turned around and walked away.

Sheng Qiangyu, Gao Kang, and Ying She hurriedly followed suit. They didn't want to lose their lives here.

Dongfang Lou took a deep breath at Yun Lintian and then walked away.

Seeing this, Xi Hong had no choice but to leave. He didn't forget to give Li Shan a vicious glare before departing.

Xiao Shou looked at Yun Lintian and said, "We meet again."

"Yes," Yun Lintian responded and glanced at Hua Rong, the Flower Ghost Queen.

Hua Rong returned the gesture with a small nod. Compared to their last encounter, she could see Yun Lintian had grown much stronger.

"What happened?" Mo Lianxing asked, looking at Dian Lei's miserable appearance.

"It's that bastard Zhan You," Dian Lei snorted coldly.

"He left?" Mo Lianxing was surprised.

"Fortunately, Si Junyi appeared in time. Otherwise, I would have been buried there," Dian Lei replied casually, sitting down to heal his injuries.

Mo Lianxing's eyes flickered slightly as she took a deep look at Dian Lei and then Yun Lintian.

Bei Yixiang thought for a moment and asked, "Did you use that power?"

"Mhm," Dian Lei responded. "I didn't expect him to use it here. That's why he urgently left."

Bei Yixiang furrowed his brow. His plan had failed because of Si Junyi's unexpected intervention. He had missed a great opportunity to eliminate one of the most powerful generals of the Primordial God Tribe.

"But you don't have to worry. He wouldn't recover for a while," Dian Lei spoke up. "We should be able to find a place to hide in time."

Bei Yixiang remained silent, falling into deep thought.

Lan Qinghe, having heard the conversation, looked at Yun Lintian and asked, "Did it fail?"

Yun Lintian nodded in admission. "The ancient gods should return soon."

Lan Qinghe was silent for a moment before saying, "It seems this is a battle you couldn't have won from the beginning."

"Indeed," Yun Lintian responded.

It was only at this moment that Yun Lintian realized he was destined to fail from the start. Even if he could have obtained the Soul Scepter first, it would have eventually fallen into Si Junyi's hands, as he was far from being his opponent.

"She… Who is she?" Han Bingling asked, looking at Yue Yun curiously.

"Her name is Yue Yun. She's a member of the Divine Moon Clan," Yun Lintian explained briefly. "Let's leave first. We can't stay here."

As Yun Lintian's voice fell, a deafening laughter suddenly echoed from the distance.

"Hahaha! You are here."

Everyone quickly followed the voice and saw a man flying over. It was none other than Xie Pojun, the Soul Devourer.

Xie Pojun swept his gaze over everyone, and the smile on his face grew wider. "So many delicious souls here. This is the best way to celebrate my freedom."

Lan Qinghe and Li Shan stepped forward to protect everyone.

"Who is this guy?" Dian Lei frowned slightly. There were too many fallen gods, and he couldn't possibly know them all.

"The Soul Devourer, Xie Pojun," Mo Lianxing said in surprise. "Unexpectedly, he is still alive."

"Xie Pojun…" Dian Lei tried to recall any information about him.

"Be careful. His soul is somewhat unusual," Bei Yixiang warned.

Xie Pojun looked at Bei Yixiang's group and said in surprise, "Your aura is familiar… The Mo Clan of the Extreme Ice Region? And the Bei Clan of the Northern Wind Realm?… Haha! Looks like I hit the jackpot!"

A maniacal grin split Xie Pojun's face, his eyes glowing with a hungry light. "Such delicious souls. You three shall be my first course!"

With a terrifying roar, Xie Pojun charged forward, his body dissolving into a swirling vortex of black energy.

Bei Yixiang stepped forward, his movements a blur as he channeled the Law of Wind. The wind around him began to swirl, forming a vortex of invisible blades that sliced through the black energy, sending tendrils of darkness scattering.

Mo Lianxing, her eyes gleaming with icy determination, joined the fray. An exquisite spear materialized in her hand, its tip glowing with the chilling power of the Law of Water. With a graceful arc, she thrust the spear forward, and a torrent of icy energy surged towards Xie Pojun.

Boom!

The air crackled with the clash of opposing forces as the frigid energy collided with the dark vortex, freezing tendrils of darkness in their tracks.

Xie Pojun, undeterred by the onslaught, reveled in the chaos. The swirling vortex of darkness pulsed with an insatiable hunger, devouring the energy directed at it. His laughter echoed through the tomb, a chilling counterpoint to the symphony of battle.

"Is this all you've got?" Xie Pojun taunted, his voice dripping with disdain. "Your pitiful attacks are mere appetizers!"

With a flick of his wrist, the vortex of darkness surged forward, engulfing the tomb in a suffocating wave of despair. The icy spears shattered against its relentless advance, and the wind blades were swallowed whole.

Bang!

Mo Lianxing was sent flying towards Yun Lintian's group. Yun Qianxue stepped forward and channeled her power to catch her.

"What an arrogant bastard," Dian Lei cursed angrily. With his current injury, it was impossible for him to fight Xie Pojun.

Lan Qinghe and Li Shan stepped forward, unleashing their power. Several orchids appeared in the air, scattering the dark energy.

Meanwhile, a silver spear materialized in Li Shan's hand. His entire body transformed into a silver light, shooting towards Xie Pojun.

BOOM!

The clash of their ultimate attacks sent tremors through the tomb, shaking the ancient structure to its foundations. The air crackled with raw energy as the opposing forces collided, creating a blinding flash of light.

Yun Lintian watched the scene with a hint of worry. Xie Pojun was far stronger than he had anticipated.

Just as he was about to hand Yue Yun to Lin Xinyao, Mo Lianxing's aura suddenly erupted.

Yun Qianxue was caught off guard and was sent flying by the sudden blast along with Lin Xinyao and the others nearby.

Yun Meilan and Long Qingxuan reacted almost instantly, but before they could unleash their power, they were mercilessly blasted away.

The ice spear in Mo Lianxing's hand pierced through space, shooting towards Yun Lintian, who was a few meters away.

Yun Lintian had no time to react. The only thing he could do was throw Yue Yun to the side for her safety.

Puff!

"Lintian!!"
