In mid-air, the massive Thunder Kirin, resembling a mountain in size, was surrounded by terrifying flashes of lightning. It stood on the Thunder Cloud, its aura Frenzy and fierce. Although its previous strike had failed to breach the defenses of the Heritage Site, it still instilled fear.
At that moment, the Thunder Kirin, with eyes like bronze bells filled with raging fury, suddenly shifted its gaze away from Chen Chu and the others, directing its attention towards the edge of the Heritage Site, where Fang Chen was located.
"This..." Feeling the gaze of the Thunder Kirin upon him, Fang Chen's body trembled, and his expression changed drastically. Even with his composure, he couldn't help but feel a tumultuous wave rising within him.
This sudden Mutation was completely unexpected.
Why would a peak Heavenly Realm being, an almost invincible Thunder Kirin beneath the Daoist Master Realm, suddenly focus its attention on him?
Fang Chen couldn't make sense of it.
They were merely at the edge of the Heritage Site, while both Chen Chu and the Thunder Kirin were positioned deeper within. The distance between the edge and the depths was not something that a Heavenly Realm warrior or even this powerful Thunder Kirin's Divine Consciousness Power could easily sense.
This was why Fang Chen had not left upon seeing Chen Chu and the Thunder Kirin; he and Zuo Zongshou had already concealed their auras. Logically speaking, they should have been hard to detect. Yet now, despite being quite far away, why did the Thunder Kirin direct its gaze towards him?
Could it be just a coincidence?
Feeling the suddenly thickening space around him, Fang Chen shook his head. He then raised his head to meet the Thunder Kirin's gaze directly, forcing a bitter smile.
Though reluctant to admit it, he had to acknowledge that this was no coincidence; that terrifying Thunder Kirin was indeed looking at him from afar. Even without exerting any power, merely its ordinary gaze transformed the surrounding space into something incredibly dense, pressing down on him with immense pressure in an instant.
The bitterness on his face deepened as Fang Chen realized that this moment effectively shattered any plans he had to take advantage of entering the Heritage Site.
Although they were already at the edge of the Heritage Site and only needed to take one more step to truly enter it—where they would be protected by the power left behind by the Rainbow Saint—right now, given how thick the surrounding space had become, it seemed nearly impossible for Fang Chen to take that step forward. Even if he could manage it, doing so would likely provoke that seemingly distant Thunder Kirin into action multiple times over.
"To be targeted by such a terrifying Kirin from this far away is truly..." Fang Chen sighed again in bitter amusement. In his current situation, he found himself at a loss for words. With his mere Alchemy Realm cultivation level being singled out by a peak Heavenly Realm Thunder Kirin from such a distance was beyond unfortunate.
However, amidst this misfortune lay a sliver of luck: Fang Chen did not sense any killing intent in that gaze from the Thunder Kirin. Otherwise, his expression would have been far more than just a bitter smile.
However, even without any killing intent, being watched by such a terrifying beast still exerted immense pressure. Moreover, this was not the worst part; what made Fang Chen uneasy was that as Thunder Kirin's gaze turned towards him, below it, the two individuals located within the dazzling golden and red light beams, who had not sensed Fang Chen's presence earlier, also followed Thunder Kirin's gaze and looked over.
A chill instantly surged through Fang Chen, causing his expression to change slightly as he realized that Chen Chu and the other person were probing him again.
About a breath later, the chill surrounding Fang Chen dissipated, and within the golden and red light beams, faint whispers filled with confusion began to emerge.
"A mid-stage Alchemy Realm Little One."
"The foundation is decent, but that's all. With such cultivation, how could it attract that beast Kirin?"
"Hmm? A disciple of Jincheng Sect." Suddenly, in the golden light beam, Elder Chen's gaze flickered slightly as he looked at Zuo Zongshou beside Fang Chen. Then, he shifted his attention back to Fang Chen, his expression of confusion deepening.
Zuo Zongshou was a disciple of Jincheng Sect, so he could easily recognize him. However, Fang Chen beside him was neither a disciple of Jincheng Sect nor Crimson Bright Sect. The fact that these two were together raised questions for Chen Chu and the other person. While they were puzzled, a trace of killing intent flashed imperceptibly in their eyes.
They were well aware that sending warriors beyond the Alchemy Realm into the Colorful Sacred Realm was a serious breach of boundaries for both Jincheng and Crimson Bright sects. In such circumstances, there might still be a possibility for cooperation among disciples of the two sects, but cooperation with disciples from other sects was simply impossible.
Given this situation, it was suspicious that Zuo Zongshou, as a disciple of Jincheng Sect, was with someone whose sect was unknown. More importantly, when their gazes fell upon Fang Chen, although they saw shock and astonishment in his eyes, there was no overwhelming sense of surprise; it seemed he had already known about their existence.
This was exceedingly unreasonable.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, in the white light beam, Elder Chu from Crimson Bright Sect subtly shifted his expression. The gaze that was about to shift away from Zuo Zongshou suddenly focused again. He then turned to look at Elder Chen from Jincheng Sect, whose expression had gradually darkened. With a smile, he said, "Soul Contract. This mid-stage Alchemy Realm Little One is remarkable."
Elder Chen's face had already been somewhat gloomy; upon hearing this light laughter, his expression darkened even more. The look he cast towards Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou now contained an unmistakable hint of naked killing intent.
What is a Soul Contract? As beings from the Heavenly Realm, they naturally understood that it was not much different from a contract of servitude. Once a warrior entered into such a contract, they would lose their freedom for life unless the other party willingly released them from it.
The tyranny of Soul Contracts was well-known in the Cultivation Realm; however, Elder Chen did not expect that his first encounter with one would be with a disciple from his own Jincheng Sect. Moreover, a distinguished disciple at the Peak of the Transformation Realm had actually been bound by a Soul Contract to a mid-stage Alchemy Realm Little One from an unknown sect.
If Fang Chen were also a disciple of Jincheng Sect, Elder Chen would not be so furious. After all, even if disciples from the same sect fought fiercely against each other, it would not affect Jincheng Sect's interests. But now that Fang Chen was not a disciple of Jincheng Sect yet had become the master of Zuo Zongshou under a Soul Contract, this situation was intolerable for Elder Chen.
He knew very well that Zuo Zongshou's loyalty to Fang Chen after signing the Soul Contract might even surpass that towards Jincheng Sect. Although Zuo Zongshou was currently only at the Peak of the Transformation Realm and posed little threat at present, if this continued to develop, it could potentially harm Jincheng Sect in the future. Furthermore, if word got out about this situation, it would be a significant blow to Jincheng Sect's reputation.
"Die!" A deep voice echoed from the dazzling golden pillar of light. The moment the words were spoken, the temperature around dropped sharply, and a cold wind, seemingly sweeping in from the Netherworld, began to swirl in the air.
Within the brilliant golden light, Elder Chen's figure swayed as he prepared to step forward towards where Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou were located.
"Brother Chen, don't act recklessly." Seeing this situation, the previously smiling Chu Elder of the Crimson Bright Sect suddenly changed his expression and quickly spoke to stop him: "That beast is still up there; we must not let ourselves be thrown off balance by these two insignificant ants and give it a chance to strike."
Upon hearing this, Elder Chen, who had already taken half a step forward, suddenly paused. He then retracted his foot and lightly nodded, as if agreeing with what Chu Elder had said.
Currently, Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou were still outside the Heritage Site, a place not protected by its defenses. If they went to kill Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou, they would inevitably attract the attention of the furious Thunder Kirin above. At that point, it would be disastrous for both Chen and Chu.
However, just at that moment, as soon as Elder Chen nodded, he suddenly waved his sleeve. A powerful wave of Vital Energy surged from within him, tearing open a gap in space about the size of a palm. He then lightly raised his hand and pointed a finger toward this palm-sized Spatial Rift.
"Danger!" Fang Chen, who had been closely monitoring Chen and Chu's movements with Divine Consciousness Power, suddenly felt a surge of crisis in his heart the moment Elder Chen made his move. Especially when the latter pointed towards the rift in space, that sense of danger intensified a hundredfold in an instant.
Even though they were quite far apart and Elder Chen was not physically present but merely pointing from a distance, it seemed unrelated to Fang Chen. However, feeling the increasingly intense sense of crisis within him, Fang Chen understood clearly that this seemingly impossible attack was precisely aimed at him!
At that moment, a space in front of Fang Chen suddenly shattered like glass. An extremely severe aura swept out from within it. As this aura spread out, a frenzy of violent winds surged around him. The winds wrapped around Fang Chen as a slender finger resembling white jade continuously enlarged in his vision.
