The atmosphere in the room was silent, as a normal quiet room should be. But then, the beautiful girl sitting next to Lao Duan suddenly lost her smile. Her eyes sharpened. Her entire form began to shift.

  From a beautiful celestial nymph to a terrifying spirit. In the blink of an eye, she transformed into a black, shadowy apparition. She had taken on a dangerous and horrifying form. Seeing her, Lao Duan fell to the floor in sheer terror. His eyes widened in disbelief. He began to crawl backward, paralyzed with fear. Not a sound escaped his throat as he looked at her.

  The terrifying spirit then extended her hand towards him, and in one swift movement, she pulled Lao Duan's soul right out of his body.

  Lao Duan's body fell lifelessly onto the floor, turning white. His eyes rolled up, turning completely white. His limbs were twisted at strange angles. And on his chest, a peculiar mark had formed one that looked like the talon of a large vulture.

  Meanwhile...In the outer fields of the Liuguang Sect, two farmers were tending to their crops. But both were deeply afraid, due to the continuous disappearance of people over several days, and the persistent terror that was spreading.One of them spoke:"I saw worms in the lychees again today. I don't know when this will end."

  The second man replied fearfully:"Leave the lychees, just listen to this. I heard again today that a General has also been missing for a few days."

  The first man replied with equal seriousness, his throat dry with fear:"You are right, brother. People don't even step out of their homes anymore."

  As they were talking, the sky suddenly turned black.Black clouds gathered, and strong winds began to howl. The farmers covered their eyes with their sleeves as dust flew everywhere. The winds were violent. The two men started to leave, but just then, they heard a whistling sound carried on the wind.

  If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  When the two turned back, a man emerged from the dust storm, walking steadily, undeterred by the fierce winds. His body was completely covered in black clothes. And on his face, there was a faint, dangerous smile. His aura, his inner energy, was like thick, inky smoke trailing behind him as he walked continuously. Even possessing such a dangerous and terrifying appearance, the man walked with unnerving calm, whistling softly.The man was none other than Yu Sui.

  The farmers froze for a moment in panic. They just kept staring at him. Then they turned and started to run. But just before they could flee, one of them noticed something... and whatever he saw made his eyes widen. He said to the man next to him:"Huh!!... Look at his hair... look at his crown!"

  And when the second man looked at him, his hair stood on end too. He stumbled as he ran, his eyes filled with terror."No... no, no... that... that is the Xuan Ming Guan Crown!... That means... He is the Black Heaven King!"

  The man screamed in sheer panic. Both scattered and ran away from the scene. The man kept shouting as he fled:"Run! Save yourselves!"

  He staggered into the sect's main hall, yelling loudly:"We saw the Black Heaven King! The Black Heaven King is coming! Run! Save yourselves!"

  Chaos erupted in the Liuguang Sect. And as soon as Minister Hei Tian Zong heard this news, he immediately rushed to gather everyone.

  Pushing young warriors, children, and some women onto a large boat, they quickly launched the boat into the river and sped it forward. He instructed the boatman to move quickly towards the Ming Jing Men Sect. The river they entered passed through dangerous slopes, but Hei Tian still took the risk. They knew they could not fight, as they had no central leader.

  But Yu Sui... Yu Sui did not care. With a tranquil face... that was filled with endless wrath. He kept walking in complete silence. And wherever he stepped, trees withered and died. Houses crumbled into ruins. Even the ground behind him turned black. Everything was being destroyed with his every step.

  The boat had only gone a short distance down the river. But when some people looked back, their souls trembled. They were all terrified and began to scream.
