As if sensing the stone bead’s arrival, the painting trembled violently.279Please respect copyright.PENANAygfFBfdyM7
Boom…279Please respect copyright.PENANAHgFRxXD6xl
The painting cracked apart from the middle as if it was slashed in half by an invisible force. Like a huge door, it opened up.279Please respect copyright.PENANA9mq9rciV5C
It was pitch black inside the painting, looking just like the mouth of a mysterious giant beast. Nobody knew where it led.279Please respect copyright.PENANANpicsGVCo5
“Let’s go,” Chui Sang said. He was trembling, but filled with determination for the chance that he had been searching for during the past couple dozen years – the chance to change his fate!

The bonfire weakened, and next to it lay a pile of chicken bones.279Please respect copyright.PENANAvGAASISVWQ
The entire space was still filled with the fragrance of wine and roasted chicken, and the two teenagers were having an enjoyable meal as they chatted.279Please respect copyright.PENANAOQQXQCFswD
Only after some time did Chui Yim remember to introduce himself. “I’m Chui Yim, what’s your name?” He placed his fists together.279Please respect copyright.PENANAPod8EVjhp3
“I’m Siu Fu.” Siu Fu stood up and returned to courtesy.279Please respect copyright.PENANAFNgA7BiA6i
“I bet that Brother Siu is here for an adventure too.” Chui Yim smiled. “Since fate brought us together, why not discover this place together? We can look after each other too.”279Please respect copyright.PENANAWMbf43ZwT0
“I was thinking the same too.” Siu Fu shook his head, laughing.279Please respect copyright.PENANAJMB19qbf4K
The bonfire was put out, and the teenagers embarked on their journey. They chatted happily on their way, and both parties shared the sentiment that they should have met sooner.
They were in a forbidden area, so there were definitely unique traps and mechanisms all around, but both of them handled them all well and took care of each other at the same time. Seeing that the other was able to pass the hurdles so simply, the admiration both parties had for each other increased.279Please respect copyright.PENANAGCp8LILFfB
Of course, the hurdles were a piece of cake to them considering both of their identities. Siu Fu was the Bloodstained Hill's Sacred Icon and the sacred son of necrocultivation. Despite remaining hidden from the world, the tribe's history worth a thousand years was not weaker than any of the large organisations.279Please respect copyright.PENANAGz9s2DhuZq
As for Chui Yim, he was the seventh teacher of Cloud Palace, the institution that produced all gliphs in the world. After spending four years in Cloud Palace, he was no longer the rowdy boy of the past.279Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xxf69yndy
This trip might’ve been dangerous to others, but it was nothing tough for the teenagers.279Please respect copyright.PENANADi4eGQatq7
With their cultivation state and treasures, ordinary treasures were unattractive to them; Siu Fu could take any treasure in the Black Promise Tower’s Treasure Pavilion, while Chui Yim could have anything that the seniors did not want from the Purifying Cloud Pavilion. Thus, they had a higher scope for treasure.279Please respect copyright.PENANAjeBO5owCUa
But Chui Yim was here for a reason. He held the unnamed fire bead in his hands as he followed the invisible energy that was leading him to an unknown destination ever since he went into the passage.279Please respect copyright.PENANA0XcwLXkrQn
“Who are you!?”279Please respect copyright.PENANAFdO8gqTq79
Suddenly, the route in front of them was lit up brightly; they were blocked by men holding torches. Chui Yim clearly felt that they were blocking where the fire bead was leading him towards, while a smile formed on Siu Fu's face. Indeed my opportunity.279Please respect copyright.PENANAsSDkS9ikvm
The teenagers seemed to walk around the place randomly, but Siu Fu could naturally tell that Chui Yim was following a treasure's lead instead. Now that he saw the destination was heavily guarded, there was no doubt a great opportunity waited for them there.
Chui Yim turned to Siu Fu. “Brother Siu, shall we?”279Please respect copyright.PENANASZ3ejf4k5d
Siu Fu was stunned. He liked how Chui Yim entered him into the fight without even asking him because the other treated him as a friend.279Please respect copyright.PENANAooyuErpa4Q
Friend?279Please respect copyright.PENANA2CnzIoS15F
Loneliness didn’t hurt Siu Fu, but it still felt good to have a friend.279Please respect copyright.PENANAvRoYdFKeAP
“Okay.” Siu Fu agreed.279Please respect copyright.PENANAMBWPeef2qN
“Let's crush these empty vessels!” Chui Yim laughed loudly.279Please respect copyright.PENANAh620nOilK8
“What an arrogant kid!” Hearing them, some of the gliphers were angered and slashed their blades at them. Maybe it was because of their leader, Wild Sand Blade Lee Kwong, but they all used blades. However, his slash was stopped in its tracks by a pale, slender hand.279Please respect copyright.PENANAHFEXUfdfPu
“No ordinary weapon can hurt me.” Chui Yim exerted force in his right hand and crushed the blade with his bare hand. He sent another punch into the glipher’s abdomen.279Please respect copyright.PENANA1TNXpLsPMz
Barefooted, Siu Fu walked forward calmly and with determination.279Please respect copyright.PENANAjvCv66UddH
Without any visible actions, the gliphers coming at him fell to the ground.279Please respect copyright.PENANA0JDtRHLca2
If Chui Yim was a violent tornado, then Siu Fu was a deep swamp that took down the opponents before they could even figure out what was going on.279Please respect copyright.PENANAglYPYRWTqL
With tacit agreement, they did not try to figure out each other's style, but they were still able to identify some characteristics of each other's style.279Please respect copyright.PENANAfie5IdeeW6
Siu Fu could tell that Chui Yim had a powerful body, which was evident seeing how he crushed weapons with his bare hands and how he moved so cleanly and quickly.279Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ7H7qyGBp
Chui Yim could also tell how Siu Fu had rapid footwork. The opponents seemed to fall of their own accord, but in reality, it was him who kicked them and caused them to faint without the opponent even noticing.279Please respect copyright.PENANAiGC4aA1INk
“Indeed powerful!” The both of them thought of each other.279Please respect copyright.PENANAZyXlzs3lSO
All those who stayed to guard the passage were mediocre gliphers. The actually capable gliphers had already followed Lee Kwong and Chui Sang into the door.279Please respect copyright.PENANA7WBZXZtWN3
When Chui Yim and Siu Fu reached the door, there were many unconscious men behind them on the ground.279Please respect copyright.PENANARMpIuIxMsx
“Let's go.” Chui Yim strode in without hesitation despite it being pitch black inside. Siu Fu followed Chui Yim in.
279Please respect copyright.PENANAMW3DICR39l
279Please respect copyright.PENANAg3MOkQTPRE
279Please respect copyright.PENANAMkC68vzNSh
279Please respect copyright.PENANAKNS1mzZbIi
Chui Sang and Lee Kwong led the way, followed by three men behind them. As the most powerful cultivators under Lee Kwong, they were aware that Chui Sang was their actual leader.279Please respect copyright.PENANAIQhvGUhrZz
Strength was insufficient for humans to survive in the world; if not for Chui Sang's brain, they would never have become the leaders of this area, able to act as they liked.279Please respect copyright.PENANAnvTy6ErJXZ
Chui Sang ignored them and passed the chilly passage into a huge hall.279Please respect copyright.PENANAzJIEt8TnLb
It was huge in size, spacious, and dozens of meters tall. Nine red wooden beams shot from the ground as if holding up the sky to prevent it from falling.279Please respect copyright.PENANAU92fQwexoL
Chui Sang only focused on the altar behind the beams.279Please respect copyright.PENANApyBWbCLy5d
The altar looked like those used to pray for good weather, but what was different was the metallic lotus platform on the altar, which was greatly worn out, looking like it was about to break down the next minute.279Please respect copyright.PENANA9B4pHLDM4s
On the platform, there was a ball of flame. The flame was ivory in color just like solidified milk, but the way it was waving in the air showed that it was a ball of flame.279Please respect copyright.PENANAARRKzLK4fM
Behind the nine beams and the altar, there was a pitch-black shadow, as if ink had poured down from the heavens.279Please respect copyright.PENANA4Adv5PlVTx
It's true! Chui Sang trembled. It did not lie to me!279Please respect copyright.PENANA8QphBGj7K4
He hurried over to the altar, and the bead he held in his hands tightly flew out towards the altar no matter how hard he tried to hold it. The bead became black and kept changing as it flew towards the altar.279Please respect copyright.PENANAnYAheAUOUI
Shockingly, it was an eyeball, and Chui Sang even saw that it was a fully black eyeball with only its vertical pupil shining in a weird white colour.
