Asura Mad Emperor

"What's going on, why aren't those guys affected by the statue's aura of suppression and the attack of its malicious Qi?"

The surrounding crowd watched as Qinchuan and his group walked up to the statue unharmed, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

Especially the people from the Taixuan Sect, the Tianxuan elder was also staring dumbfounded, his face filled with disbelief.

"Could it be that the statue's aura of suppression has dissipated?"

Someone couldn't help but walk toward the statue, only to feel a powerful suppression bearing down on them like a landslide when they got just a few steps closer. At the same time, a strong and fierce malevolent Qi surged forward, assaulting their mind and spirit, causing their face to instantly turn pale, and they hurriedly retreated.

"The suppression and malevolent Qi are still there!"

The crowd immediately sucked in a cold breath.

The statue's formidable aura of suppression and malevolent Qi were clearly still present, so why could these guys from the Congyun Sect get close to the statue?

The crowd couldn't help but feel a mix of shock and suspicion, remembering that Myriad Spirit Garden was originally owned by the Congyun Sect.

Could it be that this statue harbored some secret?

Qinchuan didn't bother to pay attention to the people around him and reached out to gently touch the giant eagle sculpture in front of him.

As he touched the giant eagle statue, a flicker of obscure light flashed in the eyes of the eagle once again.

Qinchuan closed his eyes, as if sensing something, and his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

As he touched the giant eagle, an array of divine patterns that outsiders couldn't see rose from the huge open space in front of Myriad Spirit Garden.

These countless golden divine patterns formed a great formation, manifesting within Qinchuan's perception.

In one direction, the formation patterns appeared somewhat dim and lusterless, with wisps of grey-black Qi emanating from that area.

Qinchuan suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of astonished surprise, and a sharp glint burst forth, putting Zhou Xi and the others under an involuntary pressure.

"Brother Qin, what's wrong?" Li Ran and Wang Hao couldn't help but ask upon seeing this.

Qinchuan's gaze fell on the one-horned giant Jiao under the eagle's claws, and after sensing it carefully, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Without responding to Li Ran and Wang Hao's inquiries, Qinchuan drew back his hand from the giant eagle and looked toward the entrance of Myriad Spirit Valley.

"Let's go, Myriad Spirit Garden is about to open," Qinchuan said indifferently, leading the others toward the valley entrance.

"What is this kid talking about? The Myriad Spirit Garden is about to open? Isn't it customary for the garden to open tomorrow?"

Hearing Qinchuan's words, the people from various sects around them all paused, their faces wearing peculiar expressions as they looked at Qinchuan.

"You're taking a kid's word for it?"

"However, how did these people from the Congyun Sect approach that statue? Are they not affected by the statue's aura of suppression and the malevolent Qi it emits?"

"What was that kid fumbling with on the statue just now? What secret does the statue hold?"

Many people around were discussing among themselves.

Some shifted their gaze thoughtfully. This statue had stood here for so many years, and no one had ever been able to approach it, let alone touch it.

From the terrifying aura of suppression and malevolent Qi emanating from the statue, it was obvious that it was no ordinary statue.

As Qinchuan led the group away from the statue's vicinity, someone suddenly stepped forward, "Hey, kid, didn't you feel the suppression and the malevolent Qi from that statue just now? How did you get close to that statue, and what were you looking for on it? What secret does the statue actually hold?"

```

This was the leading elder from the Sunset Sect of Dongling County, whose Cultivation Level was even more profound than that of the Tianxuan Elder, sitting at the Intermediate Stage of the Immortal Platform.

Moreover, it seemed that he was not far from the Late Stage of the Immortal Platform.

"Indeed, I have not sensed the oppressive aura or malevolence you speak of. As for any secrets the statue holds, why don't you investigate it yourself to find out?"

Qinchuan cast a faint glance at the other party, uninterested in further banter, and continued to walk forward.

"Stop right there!"

"Hmph, if I could approach that statue, why would I be asking you?"

Hearing Qinchuan's words, the leading elder of the Sunset Sect immediately darkened in expression and said coldly.

He then glanced at Wu Wenxuan, but his eyes betrayed no fear. In his opinion, Wu Wenxuan was simply putting on a brave front, a last flicker of light before burning out. Even if Wu Wenxuan was at the Peak of the Immortal Platform, how much strength could he possibly exert?

"Hmph, boy, watch your tone. Don't think that just because you have Daoist Brother Wu backing you up, you can be disrespectful to me. I ask you a question, and you answer it..."

"Scram!"

However, before he could finish his sentence, Qinchuan's gaze suddenly turned icy.

He shouted loudly, his voice booming like thunder.

The Sunset Sect's leading elder was caught off guard and jolted by the shout, then realizing the peculiar looks from the crowd around him, his face turned crimson with embarrassment and rage.

He was scolded by a mere youth and even got startled by it, which was supremely humiliating.

He immediately seethed with anger, "You ignorant fool, daring to shout at me, you're seeking death!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and lunged at Qinchuan with a palm strike.

Wu Wenxuan, the Taixuan Sect's Grand Elder standing beside Qinchuan, was about to take action.

But at that moment, the giant eagle statue as if coming to life, its sharp eyes suddenly lit up with an intense glow. Then, a colossal phantom eagle burst forth from its gaze, issuing a piercing cry, and in an instant charged towards the Sunset Sect's elder.

Under the long screech, the elder's Divine Skills instantly dissipated, his Mana shattered.

With a flap of the giant eagle's wings, the leading elder of the Sunset Sect screamed miserably, as if struck by a giant mountain, he was hurled sideways, exploding into a cloud of Blood Mist before even hitting the ground.

The phantom of the giant eagle also vanished without a trace at that instant, as if it had never appeared.

The surrounding crowd, which had been buzzing with conversation, now involuntarily tightened their pupils, and their words abruptly cut off. Staring at the swirling cloud of blood, everyone was stricken with horror, chilled from head to toe.

"What... what just happened?"

"I think I just saw the statue come to life, and a phantom eagle burst from its eyes, killing Elder Hong of the Sunset Sect with a flap of its wings..."

The people around turned ashen, sweat dripping from their trembling bodies as they stammered out.

They were truly frightened.

Elder Hong of the Sunset Sect, who wielded the Intermediate Stage, nearing Late Stage, Cultivation Level, was dead just like that!

Moreover, killed by a phantom that emerged from the statue!

He had not even a chance to resist, being crushed into a mist of blood.

How could they not be scared and dismayed?

This statue had stood here for tens of thousands of years.

It was only when someone approached that it would exert a tremendous oppressive aura and malevolence, and it had never manifested such supernatural power and actively attacked someone like this before!
