Necropolis Immortal

d a chilling voice from the darkness, “Why don’t you stay a while?”

Something enormous slithered out of the darkness and filled the tunnel in the dragon nest to the brim.
It was a snake of immeasurable size.
The tunnel at the heart of the dragon nest was a couple kilometers wide, yet there was only a slight gap left between the snake’s head and the top of the tunnel.

“This is the true form of a blackwater snake! Is it Beigong Xuan?!” Ling Zhen, the peerless immortal from the Ling Clan, recognized the snake with a single glance.

“Beigong Xuan?” Lu Yun scowled, then paled.
He hadn’t expected the missing North Sea emperor to show up here and block their way.
“…wait! Who discovered the Ghost Tree first?”

“Beigong Xuan,” said Ling Zhen.
“He discovered the Fire Parasol Tree first, then the news somehow got out and reached House Donglin.
After that, the Witherdew celestial emperor came and set up the Blithe Entrapment Formation….
Wait!!”

He blanched as a sudden, awful realization dawned on him.

“The blackwater snakes have made this dragon tomb their home!” Lu Yun said as he stared at the giant snake, enunciating every world.
“No wonder you stayed here and did nothing to me, even after I raided your base and stole your palace.”

Derision flashed through Beigong Xuan’s black eyes, his black tongue flicking in and out of his mouth.

Lu Yun should’ve realized earlier.
Back in the clearing where the Fire Parasol Tree was, most of those he’d kicked out had either doubled back or remained right outside the area, but Beigong Xuan had left with his people.

That in itself was unusual.

However, he hadn’t thought of that detail until Beigong Xuan showed up again in his true form.

“You destroyed Our North Sea court, Lu Yun, and now you dare ruin Our grand plan.
You will not make it out of here alive!” As he spoke, Beigong Xuan’s enormous body trembled and emitted pure black light that turned into a tide of black floodwater and swept toward Lu Yun and the peerless immortals.

Situ Zong took a step forward and aimed the cannon at the black waters, blasting out a beam of white light.

Bam!

The entire dragon tomb shuddered.

Situ Zong staggered back, blood streaking down from the corner of his mouth.
The great recoil had left him severely injured.

“Hehehe, pathetic parlor tricks!” Beigong Xuan cackled and suddenly advanced, increasing the terrible flood’s intensity.

“Assemble into formation!” Ling Zhen roared with a burst of starlight from his body.

“Formation my ass! Get out of here!” Lu Yun shouted to interrupt Ling Zhen’s suicidal move.
“Beigong Xuan’s power comes from himself.
The formation won’t do jack.
Move!”

Lu Yun grabbed the severely injured Situ Zong and stuck a Size Manipulation Talisman on him, both of them disappearing into dust particles.

“So this is how you entered the monster spirit palace.
No wonder no one discovered you.” Beigong Xuan’s dark eyes fixed on the space ahead of him.
Lu Yun and Situ Zong had shrunk to the size of dust motes, but he could still see them.

“Die!!” he growled and opened his mouth, biting at the group of peerless immortals.

Swoosh!

Emerald fire blossomed in the air, casting the dim tunnel in vibrant green illumination.
A stunning figure emerged from thin air, imprinting itself on everyone’s mind.
Even Ling Zhen, one who’d grasped the true meaning of the aether dao realm, gazed upon her with admiration.

“We meet again, old snake spirit.” Bathed in Emerald Mistfire, Yuying stared coolly at the enormous snake with a half smile.

The snake flinched like he’d received an electric shock, his eyes fixed on the woman before him.

“Emerald Mistfire!” the blackwater snake screamed.
“You’re still alive, Yuying…?”

This immortal fire was the natural bane of the blackwater snakes.
Even though it was a mere peerless immortal controlling the fire, horror still pricked at Beigong Xuan.
If he killed the peerless immortal, the fire would rage out of control, igniting the dragon nest and even the phoenix nest below it.

With the various layouts set up in the two nests, perhaps they wouldn’t be destroyed by the fire, but Beigong Xuan definitely would.
He backed away.
A thousand years ago, Yuying had crossed paths with him as a cultivator and driven him away with that fire.

“Go do what you must do, sir.
I’ll keep this worm here.
If he dares do anything, I’ll detonate the Emerald Mistfire.” Yuying smiled slightly.
With a wave of her hand, the emerald fire surged and grew even more intense.

“You’ll die if you do that!” Beigong Xuan said in a trembling voice.

Yuying smiled in lieu of a response.

Lu Yun looked at her with conflicted emotions.
How many times had Yuying shown up of her own accord when Lu Yun was in danger? Although he had many great elites as his followers now, she was still the same silent guardian she’d been before, his first Envoy of Samsara.

“Let’s go.” Lu Yun waved a hand and brought the peerless immortals with him as he flew over Beigong Xuan’s head.

The snake was of a mind to stop them, but Yuying had already advanced on him.
Beigong Xuan wasn’t afraid of her power, even though she could control the immortal fire.
However, if the fire raged out of control, he would surely die here.
