The voice rolled like thunder, spreading across the Four Seas.
Cheng Xinzhan stopped and listened, missing not a word.
Only when the thunderous voice gradually faded did he start walking again.
One, two, three...
He counted silently. Before he had taken ten steps, a buzzing rose, and all of Fire Dragon Island erupted in a clamor like cicadas in high summer, as though it would overturn the island.
He smiled faintly. With his next step, he rose on the wind and flew toward his cave abode.
Back in his cave abode, Cheng Xinzhan released both newly acquired corpses.
He looked first at the female corpse. She was a living corpse who would possess Third Realm fighting strength once unsealed, and a Third Realm Sword Cultivator at that-one whom only the Great Elder of the Elder Courtyard had been able to subdue personally.
Without any hesitation, Cheng Xinzhan stepped forward and peeled the Corpse-Locking Talisman from her forehead.
The instant he removed the talisman, the female corpse opened her eyes and looked at him.
Her gaze was like snow.
Clang!
A clear sword cry followed.
The sword at her waist flashed from its sheath, becoming a sweeping ribbon of blue and white that hurtled toward Cheng Xinzhan's head.
"Catch!"
Cheng Xinzhan pointed at the sword light and uttered an incantation. Five-colored radiance burst from his fingertip, condensing into a hoop that slipped around the oncoming ribbon.
Clanging rang through the cave abode, magical light shooting in all directions.
The Yin-Yang Five-Phases Binding Hoop tightened steadily, forcing the ribbon of sword light to reveal its original form: a long sword with a jade-green scabbard and a snow-white blade.
