Semua Bab Dawn of the Gods: Bab 401 - Bab 410

Xiao Chen's staggering presence swept through the floors of the plaza with the force of an unstoppable tide and the four sentries were as pale as Death. The Chamber of Chills presided by Elder Song was merely one of the lowest in the hierarchy of the Internal Sect while the Hall of Plenitude was the abode of the high chieftain, Ye Wuxin. The knees of the four sentries were threatening to buckle with fear. Xiao Chen's astounding aura that dwarfed even the Nascent Soul aura of Elder Song's indicated to them that these people could be somebody with high stature and standing in the order. But never did they expected to hear that these two people were direct subordinates to the high chieftain himself. This alone made them greater than Elder Song. They had their breaths held firmly like a nocked arrow ready to be loosed. In a shivering voice, the leader of the four bowed and saluted. "Elder Song is not at the Chamber of Chills right now. Please come with me, si

The emerald-green flint gleamed in Xiao Chen's grasp as he twirled it between his fingers. There was something else in his finger. A map that contained perfunctory information about the Ridge of the Fallen Drake. He had no idea how Su Lianyue managed to procure this vital piece of information. Only that she had left him this during the night they hatched the plan for this heist. She had said little during then, but Xiao Chen knew enough to guess that there was more to this than just a simple flint for starting a fire. He studied it that night and found the map embedded inside. But the map was hardly the only thing hidden in the flint when Xiao Chen pried it open; there was also a tiny little pill. Xiao Chen made himself a small light with the flint and studied the map, following it as he made his way to the Chamber of Teeming Woes, the abode of Elder Long, the guardian of this waycastle. On his way, he managed to slip by unnoticed by a few patrolling squa

"Oh, Gods in Heaven?! I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry! Err... But I'm afraid I still can't let you go." Xiao Chen cleared his throat, his face blushing to full red as he moved his hand away from her chest to the shoulder, making full sure that he got it right this time. Her face grew red with anger as she blurted, "HOW DARE YOU! Do you even know who I am!?" "Of course not," Xiao Chen replied, "I'm not a member of this bloody order." His head swiveled to face the Black and White Supremes. "And what are you waiting for?! Let her go! Or are you waiting only for a corpse to collect?" That made the Black and White Supremes shudder. They knew how terrible and excruciating a punishment would be in store for them if anything were to happen to this woman who clearly held a special position in the Sect. A frown formed on Mo Ran's face. "Please be calm, my friend. We'll do the exchange. Then we'll decide if we'll have to fight..." "AS IF I WA

"What did you just say?" "The Sect has no such thing as a Divine Corpse!?" Whatever things Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue expected to hear, this was definitely not it. No Divine Corpse exists here at the Corpse Refinery Sect? Then why is the Sect amassing the malignant auras of grudge and hatred? A frown wrinkled on Su Lianyue's face. "Can you be more clear, Senior? What is the Sect doing then, if there is no Divine Corpse?" "Who can tell? Some devilish errand for some sinister folk, I guess! The Sect has nothing as remotely close to what you all call the ancient Divine Corpse, nevermind the remains of an Immortal King. The whole thing is nothing but a millennia-long farce. Whatever that thing is called... it's only the corpse of a simple girl. But one thing boggles me – how could a woman of the common folk has so strong a grudge that all the anger of the entire world put together would still pale in comparison?" "Hold it right there

"Thump!" The spot where Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue fell through closed off. What appeared to be a powerful gravitational force underneath pulled them down and they fell just like that. They slowly found each other in the darkness, where they crashed on the ground after falling for gods know how long. "Are you alright?" Xiao Chen's first instinct was to sweep their surroundings with his Divine Sense and check if there was danger anywhere. However, everywhere his Divine Sense could reach, the only answer was endless darkness and coldness. "S-So cold! Where are we?!" It was so dark that they couldn't even see their hands and so cold that it pierced deep into their bones. Compared to the ice cave above, this place was many times colder, so much so that even Xiao Chen felt like he could barely stand it. The ground was also slippery; they must be stepping on ice. Xiao Chen conjured a white light and gradually illuminated their surround
