Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 471: Chapter 470: Lady Bai Gu (Part 1)

If he were all by himself, Qin Feng wouldn’t necessarily be afraid of Ye Ding.

But leading so many people was a real hassle.

’Actually, there is another way: I could freeze this entire group in ice, just like Shi Tong, and stuff them into the Chaos Celestial Secret Realm.’

’It’s just that the Chaos Celestial Secret Realm is my private garden, my personal sanctuary. Even if they were frozen in ice, I’m not willing to open it up to others.’

’Unless the Chaos Celestial Secret Realm can one day advance to a Medium-sized Secret Realm, then I might consider formally opening it.’

’Besides, exposing the Chaos Celestial Secret Realm would be extremely dangerous for me.’

’If I really brought them into the Secret Realm and took them to Yunhu City, the experts from the Star Sect could easily deduce that I possess one. That’s the last thing I want.’

"Venerable Lord, what’s the other path?" Qin Qinghong asked, his eyes fixed on Qin Feng.

The faces of the five grew solemn. They hadn’t expected that for all of Qin Feng’s prestige, he had so many enemies.

"The other path is through the Barbaric Wilderness. We’ll cross the White Bone Battlefield, pass through the Moonless Forest, and climb over Broken Soul Ridge. That will take us straight to Yunhu City!"

The White Bone Battlefield, the Moonless Forest, and Broken Soul Ridge.

The five of them instantly turned pale.

It wasn’t that they were cowardly, but the reputation of these three places was simply too dreadful.

Let alone the Moonless Forest and Broken Soul Ridge—the White Bone Battlefield by itself was enough to make their legs turn to jelly.

The White Bone Battlefield was a legendary battlefield of God-Demons from the Ancient Era, filled with endless bones. Rumor had it that Demon Gods and True Spirits had fallen in battle at its center, their Vengeful Spirits lingering on.

It was home to all sorts of terrifying things. Even the experts from the Star Sect were powerless against them and had to leave the place alone.

"All right, go and get ready!"

Qin Feng had no intention of discussing it with them. With a wave of his hand, he shooed the five of them out.

The five of them felt helpless. They exchanged a look; though they were fraught with worry, they knew their protests were futile.

After the five had left, Qin Feng muttered to himself.

’White Bone Battlefield!’

A faint smile touched Qin Feng’s eyes. His decision to traverse the White Bone Battlefield wasn’t made on a whim; it was a carefully considered plan.

「Three days later.」

「Skeleton Town.」

This was a medium-sized town.

It was the last old town on the outskirts of the White Bone Battlefield. Most Martial Arts Strongmen heading to the battlefield to hunt for treasures or hone their Martial Skills would resupply here.

Though the White Bone Battlefield had an infamous reputation, as long as one didn’t venture too deep, it was an excellent Land of Trial.

In years past, many students from All Stars Academy would also come here to hone their Martial Skills.

The Qin Family’s party of eighteen didn’t linger in Skeleton Town. After a quick resupply, they immediately departed.

An endless expanse of gray sand stretched out before them. It seemed that past Skeleton Town, even the clouds in the sky had grown dark.

This gray sand wasn’t ordinary sand; it was ash formed from disintegrated bones. Occasionally, a gale would roar past, whipping up a monstrous whirlwind.

It was a seemingly hopeless, gray desert.

Trudging through the gray sand against an ever-strengthening wind, the group’s footsteps grew heavy. CRUNCH... CRUNCH... The deeper they walked into the land of white bones, the colder it seemed to become.

"What the hell is this place! I don’t get why the Venerable Lord insists on taking us through this White Bone Battlefield instead of the perfectly good main road!"

Someone in the group muttered under their breath.

"Shut your mouth! Do not question the Venerable Lord!" Qin Yumei chided softly from within the group.

"Yes, Young Miss!" The one who complained quickly fell silent.

Walking at the head of the group, with Eighth Master dozing on his shoulder, Qin Feng was perfectly aware of the commotion behind him.

Aside from the three Elders—Qin Qinghong, Qin Qingyun, and Qin Qingyue—who were over thirty, the team was quite young.

They were all elites from the Qin Family of Mountain and River City, accustomed to a life of comfort. They had never endured such a hardship. If not for Qin Feng’s imposing presence, they would have likely started complaining out loud long ago.

Qin Feng paid no mind to their complaints, glancing at Eighth Master on his shoulder out of the corner of his eye.

Ever since taking that blow from the Yin Emperor while helping Qin Feng defeat him, Eighth Master had suffered a great loss of Primordial Qi and had been recuperating on the Chaos Tree. Now, not only had his Primordial Qi fully recovered, but his strength also seemed to have increased significantly.

Eighth Master was now the size of two or three ordinary crows. His eyes were bright and full of spirit, and black feathers had begun to sprout from his wings.

Qin Feng spread out his powerful Divine Thought and frowned. Outside, his Divine Thought could cover a radius of two to three hundred zhang, but after entering the White Bone Battlefield, its range had shrunk by more than half, covering only a dozen or so zhang around him.

Through his Divine Thought, Qin Feng could sense that as soon as they entered the White Bone Battlefield, the air had become suffused with a faint layer of Yin Qi and Evil Qi.

Qin Feng didn’t plan to delve deep into the White Bone Battlefield. Instead, he intended to cut across its edge and head straight for the Moonless Forest.

The route was clear in his mind. It would just involve passing through the territories of a dozen or so Bone Lords of varying strength.

A Bone Lord’s strength was merely equivalent to an expert at the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, which posed no real danger to Qin Feng.

’I shouldn’t run into a White Bone Demon King!’ The thought flashed through his mind.

They journeyed onward for about a hundred li, deep into the White Bone Battlefield.

Just as Qin Feng was walking through a region of bone-white mountains, Eighth Master suddenly snapped open its eyes on his shoulder and cawed, "CAW! CAW! Brother Feng, we’ve got trouble!"

They were surrounded by jagged, fossilized gray mountains formed from bone. The skeletons of unknown Fierce Beasts littered the path.

SCRAPE!! SCRAPE!!

Just then, a piercing, grating sound of bones scraping together rose from beneath the ground. The noise was dense and continuous.

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes. A sweep of his Divine Thought revealed faint wisps of gray-black Yin Qi seeping up from the ground all around.

Seeing Qin Feng come to a halt, the members of the Qin Family drew their weapons.

A series of sinister, strange sounds echoed from underground. Before their eyes, sharp, bony claws burst through the ground one after another. With a struggle, skinny Skeletons, wielding Bone Sabers and Bone Swords, clawed their way out of the earth amidst the strange, rocky mountains.

WHOOSH!

Wisps of gray-black Yin Qi coiled around them. Their bones were tough, and their claws were as sharp as steel talons. A quick glance revealed there were dozens of them.

Bone Demons!

These were the lowest-level Demon Fiends born in the White Bone Battlefield.

These Bone Demons had sensed the aura of the living and immediately burst from the ground.

"Just a group of ordinary bone minions, no White Bone War Generals. You go deal with them." Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon the Qin Family members behind him.

"Yes!"

Figure after figure shot forward like Li Xuan’s Arrow.

The gleam of sabers and the glint of swords flashed across the desolate Stone Mountain. Amidst the sinister wind, dozens of Skeletons that had crawled from the ground charged madly toward Qin Feng and his group.

The scene was utterly terrifying.

A flash of light from a saber cut through the air. When a Qin Family Martial Artist’s blade struck one of the Skeletons, it produced a loud CLANG, as if metal striking metal. The tall Skeleton let out a sinister cackle as its claw slashed out, slamming into the long saber. The Martial Artist parried, and the claw screeched against the back of the blade. The sharpness of its talons was no less than that of a Top-Grade Weapon forged from Hundred-refined Refined Iron.

One of its claws seized the weapon while the other swept across at extreme speed. The Qin Family Martial Artist, who was at the Martial Arts Ten Heavens, had no time to dodge and was sent flying back several zhang with a loud THUD.

A five-clawed print was left on his chest.

In the very first exchange, two Qin Family disciples were wounded by the bony claws in their panic!

Watching this, Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

Just then, the ground beneath him rumbled as countless bones were thrown into the air. In that instant of chaos, a pitch-black claw appeared soundlessly behind Qin Feng and, quick as lightning, stabbed into his body!
