The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 1400: Who Did It?

Who Did It?

"If we attacked the Cold Moon Palace now, we will have to suffer a great loss. More than that, we may have to fight the final war earlier, which means we will have to face Xiao Monarch, Fierce Blade, Xuan Bing, Jun Yinglian, the Moon Queen… These are all super cultivators. Our second altar isn't finished yet. We don't have advantages in this fight. At least we don't have absolute advantages…

"Therefore, it is a bad idea to attack Cold Moon Palace now!"

The man slowly finished talking and then stayed quiet.

"Humph!" The master fiercely took a breath and shouted in anger, "I told you to do it faster! Faster! Yet we actually haven't finished the second altar now… What the hell do you think you are doing?"

The master wasn't irrational anymore but was still furious.

He believed Cha-Eun Xiao must have something to do with his spiritual mind being swallowed.

If he could catch Cha-Eun Xiao, he would use whatever he could, including the most valuable medicines, to dig out the truth about his spiritual mind being swallowed, no matter how long it would take.

At the moment, he was terrified.

If somebody could swallow his spiritual mind that he had sent out, he could also swallow the spiritual mind in himself with some unique technique.

He was anxious while thinking about it.

He wished he could go catch Cha-Eun Xiao and his people now! To tie them up!

Erhuo might say, "Pah, unique technique? He is overestimating himself too much! If I am at my prime time, do you think I would bother swallowing the useless spiritual mind of him? When a dragon shoals, shrimps disdain it. When a tiger come down to the lower land, dogs overlook it… The heaven fools me. This is wrong. Am I actually sorehead like this? Gods must be jealous of me!"

At that moment…

"Report!"

As the voice sounded, the messenger was still over a thousand meters away.

"What is it?" The master furiously shouted.

Apparently, he was still angry. If the messenger didn't report any useful information, the master might get mad at him!

"Report… Shadow is back…" The messenger was shocked and then stammered the words.

"Oh, is he? Send him in!" The master took a deep breath, held down the anger, and slowly calmed down. Google seaʀᴄh N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net - novelenglish.net . bin

Except for the master, Cha-Eun Xiao, and Xuan Bing, the Shadow was the only one who participated in the whole thing. Maybe he had more useful information…

After a while…

All the men in black clothes in the room were shocked.

When the door was opened, the Shadow staggered into the room step by step. He moved so slowly that he looked like a dying old man. No living qi could be sensed in him.

His face was pale, and skinny like a skeleton. His right chest was sunk down entirely. The bones inside his chest must be mostly broken.

His one leg was dragging on the floor, which was twisted. The Jing and Mai inside must be cut off. The bones inside must be fractured.Countless sword wounds were all over his body. He was full of injuries!

A cultivator that had reached the level as a Shadow usually wouldn't get so severely damaged. Even though it might be difficult to recover fast, it wouldn't be this bad. In fact, those sword wounds were what hurt him so bad.

The wounds looked normal, but the Shadow's dark qi unexpectedly couldn't heal the wounds.

Some mysterious purple qi was twining on the wounds. It kept the dark qi from healing the wounds.

"Shhh!"

Whoever saw this all took a cold breath.

The Shadow wasn't stronger than all the others, but he was absolutely no weaker than any other, which meant he was stronger than most of them. Even he got hurt so hard, the others would never have ended up any better.

"Shadow, how are you?" The master was surprised too. "Can you still hang on?"

The Shadow was the Red in the Sky, who had a tough fight against Cha-Eun Xiao not long earlier.

"I can hold it for a while…" The Red in the Sky gasped and said, "I didn't deal with the wounds. I just came back as soon as I could… I could have done something about the wounds and eased the pain… but I didn't, because I want to show these to you, master… This…"

He took a deep breath and continued, "The martial art that he used against me… The energy in his sword… I have no idea what martial art it is… but it truly restrains my martial art…

"I can feel it… The purple energy is breaking my cultivation… It seems to be a bane to me."

He gritted the teeth and said, "I have recollected everything I know, including the martial arts from the long-lost legends, that martial art is none of anything I can think of. I believe this martial art is the reason why Xiao Monarch could defeat Wu Fa and Wu Tian. The martial art made him who he is…"

The others were all shocked.

[Restraint? Nothing you can think of?]

The Red in the Sky was so severely injured so the others wouldn't doubt what he said about the restraint. It was also a surprise that he didn't know what martial art it was because he was such an acknowledgeable man!

The master slowly walked over and put one hand on the Shadow's right chest. He closed his eyes and suddenly got something, "In your body, there are two special energies… One is from the sword wounds that you are suffering. However, the sword wounds were only injuries on the physical body. What hurt you the worst is the extremely cold energy. It is incredibly murderous. It seems to be Ling Xiao Ice Art of Misty Cloud Palace, but also seems to be the martial art of Ice Cloud Palace… I think it is the martial art of one of the three great palaces. However, it is much better than the prime martial arts of the three palaces. I am pretty sure it is related to the three palaces though. I can be sure…"

He thought for a while and said in confusion, "In fact, the best parts of the three prime martial arts together may achieve the same power… But who is the woman? How did she get that?"

"It is… Xiao Monarch's concubine…" When the Red in the Sky said so, he was so ashamed that he almost wanted to put his own head into his pants.
