Chapter 958 - Wraiths
The appearance of the Dragon Pearl ignited a frenzy among the crowd. They had missed the mysterious scroll, and they wouldn't let the Dragon Pearl slip through their fingers this time.
More cultivators began pouring into the mountain from outside when they discovered the entrance at dawn.
The Dragon Pearl contained the essence of the dragon clan. Each dragon could only form one pearl in their lifetime, similar to the beast cores in the bodies of profound beasts.
The Dragon Pearl resembled a beast core, but it stood on an entirely different level than those found in profound beasts. It shimmered with shifting colors as it hovered before Gu Yu.
At that moment, the surrounding cultivators made their move. They lunged toward the treasure without any hesitation, putting their lives at risk. Dozens of cultivators attacked at once, charging at the pearl.
"You're all courting death!" Liu Wuxie had already been prepared for this. The moment they moved, he unleashed a storm of blade auras with the Heretic Blade.
One by one, corpses fell and littered the ground.
Liu Wuxie's attacks weren't limited to the Heretic Blade. He also followed up with Spatial Dao Art to lock down the surrounding space.
Seizing the time Liu Wuxie bought for him, Gu Yu grabbed the Dragon Pearl and placed it into a specially prepared wooden box, designed to contain its energy and prevent any leakage.
After securing the Dragon Pearl, Gu Yu retreated.
All of a sudden, several experts who had been lurking in the shadows sprang into action. They moved with astonishing speed and struck with deadly precision.
