Emergence of Darkness 2

"Here, the reports and the footage of what happened!" A guild worker shouted and ran towards the man, sitting on the chair of Vice-Guild Leader. He had silver hair, reaching his shoulders. He was Hajime.

He came to this World half a year ago. Initially, he came here for sightseeing but who knew that Guild would be attacked during his stay.

Him being one of the Vice-Guild Leader, he had to take care of the mess. Since Wang Lei was nowhere to be seen.

"Have you got the footage of what happened to the investigation team?" He said to guild staff who hurriedly went out and brought the profound footage with him.

Looking at the footage, Hajime frowned. "What do you think, Cang Yue?" he asked looking towards his side, where Cang Yue was sitting with Caliburn between her legs.

"I don't know. According to the information, this beast should be a dark beast but it doesn't use darkness profound energy but something even more sinister." She said with a deep frown on her delicate brows.

Hajime hearing her also become quiet. He was not from this world and all the knowledge he had was from the manuals provided to the Guild.

Though he trains in Primordial Energy now, his knowledge about it is still not enough.

The whole room descend into silence when Qingyue said, "Should we go ourselves to check it?"

Other hearing her looked at her before Tio shook her head, "We can't. We know nothing of that beast and according to the reports he is definitely above Sovereign Realm. Without Wang Lei, going there is the same as committing suicide." He said.

What she said made sense, they had no knowledge of this particular incident. With the fact that the enemy can have a probability of having Divine Realm experts on their sides. If they are caught, then there might be no way to save them.

"But we should be able to create a light barrier around that area," Yue said.

Other hearing her nodded. If they could minimize the damage and wait for Wang Lei to come back, then it was indeed a better option.

"We should leave then," Miledi said, seriously.

"I will stay here then," Hajime said.

He couldn't use light magic so, instead, he thought of staying behind.

The girls nodded and left the HGB.

They are divided into three teams.

Qingyue and Yue; Shea and Shizuku — came with Hajime; Miledi, and Tio.

Remia was none combatant as she usually stayed with Dongxue and took care of Nuwa and Myu.

"What in Heaven happened here?!" Yun Che said looking towards the dead land. "Do you know anything about it Jasmine?" he came here thinking he might find something interesting here but after seeing the land and monster, he was scared. The fear came from deep within his heart. Telling him to flee.

Jasmine looked at the land with a serious look, "Leave this place immediately Yun Che!" she said.

Since the time Wang Lei has met them, most of the time her mind was occupied by him as to how he looked similar to her brother. She was wondering if he is her brother's reincarnation or something.

Yun Che hearing urgency in her voice understood that going in that land was asking for his death. He was also quite resentful of Wang Lei as how he looked down on him. He wanted to get stronger faster.

For that, he was doing Guild Quests so he can earn enough CP to buy pills. When he first looked at the pills that Guild sold, he was shocked since he had no knowledge of such pills.

Even Jasmine was shocked since even in God Realm, such pills were rare. Such as 'Crowning Empyrean Pill' that lets you jump a whole level in Sovereign Realm without any difficulty. She was intrigued. She really wanted to know the master of the Guild.

'I should leave then.' Yun Che thought. He was at True Profound Realm right now — with the help of the Guild. And could tell that this area was not something a True Profound Realm participant should enter.

He wanted to participate in the Guild Competition since he knew if he won, then the price would be tremendous. The connection alone would be enough.

As he was about to leave, he heard a beautiful and smooth voice that would send one is reminiscent of happy moments of their lives.

"Brother, can you leave this place? It is dangerous here."

He looked back and was dumbstruck by the beauties standing behind him. Each and everyone one of them looked otherworldly. He felt his blood rushing to his head, hurriedly shaking his head, Yun Che said, "Who might you be, Fairy?"

He asked the girl in the front.

She smiled gratefully as she said, "I am Cang Yue, Vice-Guild Leader and these are my sisters."

Yun Che hearing her was surprised. It was the first time he has met or sees the Vice-Guild Leader.

Inside the peal, Jasmine was shocked but for a whole, another reason, 'Every one of them is younger than twenty! And all of them are the peak of Sovereign! Who are they? Vice-Guild Leader? Does that mean she knows the real master of the Guild?'

Yun Che looked at every six fairies. He looked at Shizuku who was wearing clothing that he has never seen but despite that, she looked beautiful.

Shizuku was a swordswoman and was cultivating Sacred Spring Immortal Physique that affected her countenance and mannerism, making her look otherworldly.

"Are you going to do something about this darkness?" Yun Che asked. He, and also Jasmine, were quite interested in them and what they were going to do; especially, Yun Che who wanted to know more about them.

Cang Yue thought but before she could say something Miledi said, "Hai hai~, the great Miledi-sama is going to save the day~" girls just smiled wryly since they were quite used to her personality at this point.

Cang Yue shook her head and said, "If you want to stay then stay but don't cause any trouble or don't blame us if something happened to you." She said and started to fly towards the dead land.

Yun Che wanted to follow them but was stopped by Jasmine, "What? I am just following them to see if they need my help in any way." He said.

"Are you an idiot? Every one of those girls are at Peak of Sovereign Realm, what can you help them with?" jasmine said.

Hearing her he was astonished as every girl was Sovereign Realm since he could tell that none were that old. He thought that they were at Sky or Emperor Realm since that was normal now in Blue Wind or Profound Continent.

"Just don't go to close but maintain a certain distance," Jasmine said since she herself was quite interested in what they are going to do.

She had knowledge of certain things that people of this planet were unaware of. She needed some more information to confirm her guess.

Yun Che hearing her nodded and followed after them.

Soon they reached the outer boundary of the dead land. There were many camps outside. Every big sect has taken a certain place here to check what was going on.

Even other Sacred Grounds were present. To outside, it did look like that they were here to investigate the source of this evil but those who have lived enough knew that they were here to just find fortunes and opportunity to ascend and nothing else.

After Sacred Ground, it was Divine Phoenix Empire that took the best place. With other sects scattered behind them.

Inside the main camp of Divine Phoenix Empire.

"What are you doing here, Xue'er? We have told you to not leave the Empire!" Feng Hengkong said to Feng Xue'er with a worried expression.

"It is boring to stay there, royal father! I am strong enough to protect myself now. I don't think anyone can hurt me on Profound Continent anymore." Feng Xue'er said.

A year ago, she has awakened her bloodline and was at Half-Step Divine Realm. It was because of the Guild that let her go to Phoenix Valley to get the other parts of World Ode of the Phoenix.

Feng Hengkong, when came to know this that there was another Phoenix soul left on this planet, wanted to take it but was stopped by both Feng Xue'er and Guild.

Guild even issued an order that if they tried to force their way then Guild will have no chance to use force. Feng Hengkong could only grit his teeth and forget about Phoenix Valley.

This all happened when Wang Lei started his cultivation.

But now Feng Hengkong had different ideas. Since Feng Xue'er was Half-Step Divine Realm, he was waiting for her to enter Divine Realm before again try to get Phoenix Valley.

"That's not that problem here! We don't know what lies in that dead land; I can't have you risk your life for fun!" Feng Hengkong said.

Feng Xue'er hearing him pouts that makes her beauty and cuteness intensify even more.

Seeing her, Feng Hengkong's expression softens, "Just don't go too close to that land, okay?"

Feng Xue'er hearing him smiled as she nodded.

This time, a man in his thirties entered the camp, and spoke with a worried laced voice, "I heard that our sister is here!"

He looked towards Feng Xue'er and walked towards her, "Royal Sister, what are you doing here? This place is dangerous for you, come here and leave with me. I will take you back." He said as he reached for her hand but before he could, he was blown away.

"What are you doing here, Ximing?" Feng Hengkong said with a disgusted expression on his face when he looked at his eldest son.

Ximing stood up and looked towards his father. A glint of malice passed from his eyes but he quickly hides it, "I heard that royal sister has run here. I was worried and came to look for her." He said as he wipes blood from his lips.

Feng Hengkong hearing him, said coldly, "Then you don't have to worry as she is strong enough to protect herself."

Hearing it, Ximing gritted his teeth when a messenger came in, "His highness, Guild has sent a Vice-Guild Leader. They have arrived here."

Hearing him, Feng Hengkong was surprised as Guild had never sent a Vice-Guild Leader before on any matter. Just by this, he could tell that even Guild took this matter seriously.

"You can leave. We will go to meet them." He said to the servant who bowed and left. He looked towards Ximing for some time and left with Xue'er.

After they left, Feng Ximing throws a punch at the floor shattering it. "Just you wait father, I will make Xue'er mine!" he said as deep darkness flashes in his eyes.

Outside, when girls reached every sect come to greet them. They were quite annoyed but since then came her as a representative of the Guild, they have to at least nod at them.

Many men when looked at their beauty had their blood rushed down there. They never thought such beauties could exist in this World.

Soon Divine Phoenix reached and greeted them, "It's been while Princess Cang Yue." Feng Hengkong said since he has met her before on a Guild meeting, where she acted as a Vice-Leader.

"It is indeed a long time, His highness Hengkong." Cang Yue smiled and answered.

"Then it must be Goddess of Ice, Xia Qingyue. I never thought that you also would be part of the Guild.' He said.

Qingyue smiled gracefully as she said, "It's nice meeting you."

Others also introduce themselves. After some pleasantries as they walked towards the camp of Guild that was closest to the Dead Land, Feng Xue'er said to Cang Yue, "You have become more beautiful elder sister Cang Yue."

Cang Yue smiled gently, "You too, Xue'er. You should have come to meet me. Why didn't you?" she asked.

Cang Yue and Feng Xue'er met before when she went to Phoenix Empire to obtain other parts of World Ode of the Phoenix.

"Father never let me!" Xue'er said pouting at which Cang Yue could only shake her head. She knew the Feng Hengkong has put great importance on her and would not let her meet other.

All of them sat on their seats as Feng Hengkong said, "What are you going to do about other Sacred Grounds?"

Cang Yue hearing her frown as she said, "We still haven't decided yet. We will ignore them from now until Young Noble comes."

Hearing her talking about this 'Young Noble', Feng Hengkong was intrigued. If his guess was not wrong, then this 'Young Nobel' should be Guild Leader. He really wanted to meet him, "Will Young Noble come?" he asked with expectation.

Cang Yue shook her head, "I don't know. He has been missing for a year now." She said.

Hearing her, Feng Hengkong was disappointed.

At this time, a servant came in. "Princess Cang Yue, Young Master of Sun Moon Divine Hall is here to meet you."

Girls hearing him frown since they knew that Sun Moon Divine Hall was cultivated in Duel Cultivation and would kidnap women, sometimes.

None had a good review of them.

Cang Yue nodded and asked the servant to bring him in. The servant complied with her order and went to get him.
