Chapter 434: Chapter 211: Obtaining the Exotic Flame! Fame Spreads in the Dark World

A glint appeared in Feng Wuji’s eyes. He looked at Chen Xuan and extended an olive branch.

He was in dire need of capable people, and there were few in the world who caught his eye.

Chu Shanhe was one.

Chen Xuan was definitely another.

In fact, Chen Xuan was even more terrifying than Chu Shanhe.

"Brother Feng, don’t you dare try to poach my people!"

Chu Shanhe’s expression changed, and he immediately said, "Chen Xuan is a member of my Martial Alliance."

"I know, but he can still do a little freelancing, can’t he?"

Feng Wuji chuckled.

"You!"

Chu Shanhe’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

’That damn Feng Wuji!’

’To think he’d try something like this.’

"We can talk about freelancing later. I have no problem helping you out, but the Martial Alliance will always be my home."

Chen Xuan said coolly.

He wasn’t one to forget his debts of gratitude.

Alliance Leader Chu had treated him exceptionally well.

He wasn’t the type of person to abandon his old allies the moment he gained power.

As for the Twelve Alliances?

The Twelve Alliances were part of the Martial Alliance to begin with. He had just been transferred from a subordinate department to a higher one; it wasn’t like he had switched allegiances.

Besides, with his connections, the Twelve Alliances had naturally reaped countless benefits.

"Of course. With your word, I can rest easy."

Feng Wuji smiled.

The three continued to fly forward.

Just then.

Wisps of black mist began to spread silently from the surrounding mountains, like black ink.

They were small at first.

But they soon gathered, growing thicker and more numerous. As if triggering a butterfly effect, they blotted out the sky and began to sweep across the land. Finally, a wailing sound arose as the mist surged toward them from the left, blanketing everything.

The expressions of both Feng Wuji and Chu Shanhe changed drastically.

"Not good! It’s a dark whirlwind!"

"Don’t move recklessly! Chen Xuan, hold on to me!"

BOOM!

Chu Shanhe immediately activated his Earth God Soil. A layer of thick, primordial, earthy-yellow light instantly appeared, like an overturned bowl, covering all of them within it.

The three of them then swiftly descended from mid-air, landing on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, countless black whirlwinds began to howl and tear toward them.

Gust after gust of violent wind slammed into the barrier of Earth God Soil, causing it to shake violently.

It was as if it were being struck by countless giant hands.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

A series of heavy rumbles echoed out, and Chu Shanhe’s face couldn’t help but contort in alarm.

With a sharp cry, he pushed the Earth God Soil to its limits, extending the barrier to encompass the ground beneath their feet as well.

"Chen Xuan, the dark whirlwind is here! You must not move around. Holding your ground and waiting for it to pass is the safest option. If you move, you’ll likely get lost."

Feng Wuji said in a grave voice, "Some dark whirlwinds lead to mysterious and bizarre places. Others have a time-distorting effect. Even I don’t dare to enter them recklessly. Someone was once caught in one, and by the time they found their way back, three years had passed in the outside world, though to them, it felt like only three days."

"Time distortion?"

Chen Xuan looked astonished.

’How is it so strange?’

RUMBLE, RUMBLE, RUMBLE, RUMBLE...

Suddenly, Chen Xuan’s expression hardened. He heard the heavy, rapid sound of stampeding.

It sounded like giant footsteps.

Occasionally, it was interspersed with heavy, wheezing breaths.

"A living creature?"

He sent a telepathic message to Feng Wuji.

"It’s a creature of darkness..."

Feng Wuji sent back.

Fortunately, the rapid footsteps and heavy breathing didn’t linger.

They quickly rushed past their location.

The bizarre whirlwind raged for an unknown amount of time...

At last, the world outside fell silent.

SHING!

Chu Shanhe immediately retracted the Earth God Soil, his expression quickly turning grim.

Chen Xuan and Feng Wuji’s faces fell as well.

In all directions, there was only endless darkness.

It was like a thick, bottomless ink.

Chen Xuan had only seen this kind of darkness once before.

In the spatial rift in the Yanyun Mountain Range...

This was an absolute, evil blackness.

Even for an Outer Saint, one’s vision was severely obstructed.

"A dark tide!"

Chu Shanhe said as calmly as he could, looking at Feng Wuji. "Brother Feng, it’s up to you. You’re the guardian here. You can find a way out, right?"

"Don’t worry, I should be able to!"

Feng Wuji nodded slowly, took out his Compass, and was about to begin his calculations.

"No need. Let me."

Chen Xuan suddenly stopped him.

"You?" ℯℯ𝘭.

Feng Wuji and Chu Shanhe were stunned.

"Yes, I have a way."

Chen Xuan replied calmly.

He possessed the Unity of Heaven and Man, which could naturally suppress the darkness, just as it had in the Yanyun Mountain Range.

With this thought, Chen Xuan didn’t hesitate. He abruptly activated his Unity of Heaven and Man, and an invisible aura erupted from his body.

BOOM!

With him at the center, the entire darkness began to boil violently, as if it had been set ablaze. Then, all the darkness rapidly receded, churning furiously.

This bizarre scene left Chu Shanhe and Feng Wuji dumbfounded and in utter disbelief.
