Chapter 1293: A Long Wait

　　The cultivators of Heaven and Earth Valley were densely packed as they looked around. Some of them had lost expressions while others were curious to see what the legendary taboo living being was like.

　　Heavenly Secrets looked around, as though he was searching for something.

　　Unfortunately, Su Zimo did not appear even after a while.

　　“There are too many cultivators in Heaven and Earth Valley. It’ll be difficult to find Desolate Martial if he’s hiding within.”

　　Immortal Sword frowned slightly and sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness.

　　Heavenly Secrets smiled faintly. “Desolate Martial is very cautious. I’m sure he won’t appear until he sees that beast. There’s no harm in that. Bring that beast out and let the cultivators of the world take a look.”

　　He looked at God Han Ling behind him and nodded slightly.

　　God Han Ling smiled gently and removed a bag from his waist. He opened it and a black shadow fell out.

　　Cling! Clang!

　　Accompanied by the sound of heavy chains, the black shadow slammed onto the ground heavily.

　　A stir broke out amongst the crowd.

　　Countless gazes landed on that figure.

　　It was a black-robed young man who seemed to have lost a lot of blood qi. His face was pale and he had a pair of hands and feet. In fact, there was a gigantic iron hoop around his neck that was stained with blood!

　　Even so, there was no pain in the black-robed young man’s eyes. Instead, they were cold.

　　“What’s that?”

　　“Is that what a primordial taboo look like?”

　　“He looks no different from us.”

　　Many cultivators were disappointed.

　　“Night Spirit!”

　　A series of exclamations sounded from the direction of Elixir Yang Sect!

　　A female cultivator was agitated and wanted to charge forward, but she was held down by a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure of Elixir Yang Sect and could not move.

　　“Isn’t that Fairy Elixir Yang? What’s going on?”

　　“Fairy Elixir Yang knows this black-robed man?”

　　“Night Spirit! No wonder he looks familiar. He seems to have a close relationship with Dao Lord Desolate Martial!”

　　Some cultivators discussed softly.

　　Fairy Elixir Yang was Su Xiaoning!

　　“Xiaoning, don’t be rash. Calm down!”

　　The Elixir Yang Sect elder had a grim expression. She had lived for so long and was experienced and knowledgeable. Naturally, she could tell that the super sects had a grand lineup this time round for a specific motive and they were hostile.

　　Anyone that stood out at this moment would have a high chance of getting themselves killed!

　　“How can I calm down? That’s Night Spirit!”

　　Xiaoning teared instantly when she saw the state Night Spirit was in.

　　Night Spirit raised his head slightly and frowned imperceptibly, seemingly in pain.

　　That slight movement caused blood to ooze from his throat.

　　He met Xiaoning’s gaze and shook his head with all his might.

　　That tugged at the wound and the spike dug deep into his neck once more, causing a few grisly blood to flow out slowly!

　　Night Spirit was reminding Xiaoning not to stand out.

　　He knew very well that there was no way he could survive now that he was in the hands of the six races.

　　At this moment, whoever dared to stand beside him would die with him!

　　“Night Spirit, don’t move first!”

　　Xiaoning cried.

　　At that moment, she had no idea what to do.

　　She wanted to charge forward but she was restrained by the sect elder and could not move at all. She could only stand on the spot and look at Night Spirit with a twisted heart.

　　All these years, Night Spirit had never left her side no matter where she was or what she thought. Even when she traveled through the Tianhuang North Region to seek treatment, he remained by her side silently without forsaking her.

　　If not for Night Spirit, she would have died countless times over the years!

　　Furthermore, after so many years of interaction, the feelings between the two of them had already surpassed ordinary friendship. It was just that neither of them exposed the other.

　　In Xiaoning’s heart, Night Spirit was already a family member second only to Su Zimo!

　　Although she had experienced many things over the years and had toughened up, she still felt powerless against such a situation and her mind was in chaos.

　　“I’ve got it,”

　　Extreme Fire’s gaze focused and he suddenly said, “That primordial taboo is most likely not their only target in this fight for the Dharma Characteristic Ranking. They also want Zimo!”

　　Pure Maiden Sect.

　　Demoness Ji frowned slightly with her veil over her face.

　　“Could it be because of Zimo?”

　　She knew the relationship between Su Zimo and Night Spirit and realized that the fight for the Dharma Characteristic Ranking was probably a huge trap!

　　Right then, Heavenly Secrets said slowly, “I believe all the cultivators are puzzled as to how an ordinary person like him could be a primordial taboo.”

　　That was indeed the question on the minds of many cultivators.

　　“That’s because nobody has seen the true form of that beast yet!”

　　After saying that, Heavenly Secrets tapped his finger gently and a stream of mist entered Night Spirit’s body.

　　“Roar!”

　　A roar burst forth from the depths of Night Spirit’s throat and his entire body began to tremble and expand. In the blink of an eye, a gigantic demon beast that was a hundred feet tall and nearly 200 feet long appeared on the spot!

　　Cling! Clang!

　　Night Spirit struggled and howled with a torrential malevolent aura as the Heavenly God Lock let out a violent sound!

　　Psst!

　　Many cultivators gasped.

　　The entire crowd retreated half a step instinctively.

　　The aura that Night Spirit emanated was way too terrifying!

　　Cultivators of the human race would feel uncontrollable fear when they saw living beings of the Primordial Nine Races, let alone Night Spirit whom even the Primordial Nine Races feared!

　　It was an uncontrollable fear that came from the depths of their bloodlines. All the cultivators present felt their scalps prickle and their hairs stood on end!

　　Even for Conjoint Body Mighty Figures such as Extreme Fire and the others, their pupils constricted!

　　Even though Night Spirit was trapped by an unknown golden chain, his claws and shimmering tailbone gave them shudders.

　　This was a living being that was born to kill!

　　“Beast!”

　　Heavenly Secrets reached out and grabbed, forming a long whip that whipped Night Spirit heavily as he hollered, “Behave yourself!”

　　Night Spirit’s body trembled once more, almost convulsing.

　　He could not fight his way out when he was bound by the Heavenly God Lock!

　　God Han Ling behind Heavenly Secrets stood out and tapped his fingers gently, sending a golden beam of light into the Heavenly God Lock.

　　Whoosh!

　　The Heavenly God Lock shone brightly and the iron hoop shrank continuously!

　　Poof! Poof! Poof!

　　Blood sprayed from Night Spirit’s neck and limbs once again!

　　Under the suppression of the Heavenly God Lock, Night Spirit transformed into his human form once more and laid on the ground with a weak aura and dispirited expression.

　　“In the primordial era, that beast destroyed countless living beings of various races and was bloodthirsty. If he is allowed to grow, there would never be peace in Tianhuang Mainland!”

　　Heavenly Secrets said slowly.

　　“Since that’s the case, it’s better to kill this beast lest it wreaks havoc and massacres the world.”

　　“That’s right, kill it!”

　　“I heard that the flesh of this beast is extremely nourishing. Kill it and we’ll split it evenly!”

　　A series of shouts sounded from the crowd.

　　The Conjoint Body Mighty Figures of the nine immortal sects, seven fiend sects and six Buddhist monasteries nodded in agreement without any objections.

　　There was no way such a huge threat could be allowed to grow.

　　“No wonder Night Spirit was captured. So, there’s a cultivator of Enigma Palace backing you guys!”

　　Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from outside the crowd.

　　All the cultivators looked over.

　　A cultivator flew through the air with black hair and green robes. He had refined features but there was a murderous look on his face as he strode over slowly!

　　“You’re finally here,”

　　Heavenly Secrets smiled indifferently. “I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
