Chapter 255: Go All Out!
Within the deep, shadowy cavern, the atmosphere suddenly grew tense. A mythical beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas and three mysterious shamanic masters had already formed a delicate standoff.
But now, with Li Yanchu and Feng Jiu stepping in, that fragile balance was broken. Among the three, the white-haired elder was one of the Shaman Sect’s two great Protectors, Grand Magus Hak. His status was supremely revered.
Now, having triumphed over Grand Magus Bantu in the struggle for power, he had become the actual leader of the Shaman Sect. His mastery of sorcery far surpassed that of Bantu.
After all, in such a powerful and mysterious cult, the one who held the highest seat was always the one with the greatest strength.
When Li Yanchu called out just now, the three of them all froze for a moment. Someone they knew had caught up with them here!?
This was Mount Hengduan, a bitter, frigid land beyond the passes, far from the Central Plains. The three had only made it here so quickly because of their shamanic sorcery.
And more than that, this was the cavern beneath the Thousand Corpses Ridge. The winding, twisting route here was so well-hidden that, for most cultivators, just getting past the illusions of lingering obsession of the skeletons would be near impossible.
Given all this, meeting someone here who actually knew Bai Hongtu was... beyond surprising. It was downright inconceivable.
Thoughts flash quickly; all these realizations crossed their minds the instant they heard Li Yanchu’s shout.
Li Yanchu had seen scenes like this where the hostages were being held countless times in TV dramas. The villains always demanded the hero surrender, or else they’d kill the hostage.
But this time, the ones he faced were masters of the Shaman Sect from beyond the passes, and from the lineup, it was obvious they had a mage-warrior-assassin combination. It was practically an impossible fight.
Li Yanchu didn’t hesitate for a second.
