Chapter 721
Dense branches and leaves blotted out the sky and sun.
In the dim light, a blood-colored flower slowly bloomed.
This enormous flower had thirteen petals. Each petal was scarlet as blood, covered in fine black patterns. Looking down from above, one would discover that those black patterns were shockingly the faces of people.
Those faces belonged to men and women, young and old alike, creating an eerie, hair-raising feeling.
A faint fragrance drifted through the forest, drawing hundreds of high-level demonic beasts.
Yet before they could approach within ten meters of the blood-colored flower, every demonic beast let out a scream. Their bodies rapidly melted into pools of blood, even their bones dissolving and merging into the crimson soil.
At that moment, the enormous flower made a strange sound, as though it were eating. The patterns on its petals shifted without pause.
Buzz!
After a while, a soft humming sound rang out. A phantom figure appeared atop one of the petals, rapidly condensing into Lin Feng's form.
The patterns on the petal gradually faded away, while Lin Feng's phantom became clearer and clearer.
From time to time, buzzing sounds rose again, and phantoms appeared one after another upon the petals.
"Everyone is here. Report on the status of your missions."
Once all thirteen phantoms had appeared, Fate Heavenly King, who had green vine-like hair and the appearance of a sunny youth, spoke first. After a slight pause, he said, "Ageless Heavenly King and I were assigned together. The mission was completed smoothly."
Witch Heavenly King, shrouded from head to toe in a black robe, spoke next. "Ghost Heavenly King and I were assigned together. Mission completed."
Beast Heavenly King was the third to speak. "Wind Heavenly King and I also completed the mission."
"Alas!"
Sea Heavenly King first
