896 The heavenly being



Song Yan turned her head to look at the dark corner of the forest from where she sensed a burst of yin energy, her eyes flickered slightly as she turned to look in front. Ever since she stepped on this island, she knew that someone was keeping an eye on her, that gaze was very similar to a predator eyeing its prey but because she had to protect others, Song Yan could not charge straight up ahead and take that figure down. 

In case, the person who was hiding in the shadows was to make a move then she will have nothing to protect those who were dear to her which was why she did not go ahead and looked at who was following her but she was not in a hurry since that person was already willing to chase after her to this rotten island, Song Yan was certain that that person will not let go of her.

Sooner or later they were going to meet anyway and when that day comes, her lips arched in a sneer as she threw her scythe in the air and summoned a golden chain. She was going to make that person rue the day they set sight on her. 

With the help of the three-headed dog, Song Yan was able to arrive at the temple of Jiang very quickly. She looked at the being which was roaring and releasing yin energy as it summoned more and more wendigos. Song Yan raised her hand and then threw the golden chain which was in her hands at the ghost thing which was prancing around in the forest with its heavy feet. 

She ignored the cries for help and grudges which came from the mouth of those many faces which were protruding out of the black translucent flesh of the being and watched the golden chain wrap itself around the ghost thing. 

The glowing golden chain wrapped itself tightly around the thing as it started to suck the yin energy of the ghost thing. The ghost thing seemed to have realised that something odd was happening, it turned on its heavy feet and then glanced at Song Yan with its mean eyes as it wailed in pain and anger. 

As the thing turned on his heels after sensing danger, more and more human heads started to fall from his body, Song Yan watched those human heads roll on the ground and before her eyes, skeletal limbs erupted out of the bottom of the heads as the flesh which covered them morphed into that of a sharp long double-edged sword. 

" Ah so you were also a spiritual cultivator, what happened? Did your plastic surgery go wrong?" Song Yan curled a side of her mouth as she took out a bunch of talismans and was preparing to throw them at the things which was heading her way but soon she noticed something white and black glowing in the air, soon those things turned and twisted before a grey snake the size of the monstrous thing appeared in front of her. 

" What the…." Song Yan frowned as she looked at the thing in front of her, she was sure that she was not the one who summoned this being, behind her the three-headed wolf yelped as it hid her and muttered, " Tha…That is master Xiuyan but what is he doing here?" 

Xiuyan? Song Yan had heard of the legend of this enormous snake ages ago from Gu Chenxi. But according to that legend, this snake was buried along with his master ages ago in the abyss of hell because his master made the mistake of using it to kill humans and tainted this holy being. 

So how come it was here all of a sudden?

"Did his master reincarnate?" Song Yan asked as she turned to look at the three-headed wolf who shook his head and then replied in a whimpering voice, "… I don't know how or why he is here, but if he is here then his master must have reincarnated it is just that his form is unstable, its master might not have regained his power yet." 

Song Yan narrowed her eyes as she looked at the snake being which was half transparent, though the heavenly being had not recovered most of his power he was still able to tackle the enormous ghost thing with just one swipe of his tail. 

With golden lining around its scaled and red eyes which were as bright as rubies, the heavenly snake parted his mouth and for the first time in her life, Song Yan saw a cyclone which was bigger than the entire island itself take form and that was not all, those swirling winds of the cyclone seemed to be as sharp as blades. The second the ghost being was trapped by the cyclone, it was shattered into pieces behind her Song Yan heard the sound of crumbling stones. 

"That's…" She muttered as she looked at the temple of Jing which was falling on the ground before turning to look at the heavenly snake being, her breath hitched when she realised that he was already looking at her but before she could think anything else, the three-headed wolf who was standing behind her immediately tackled her on to the ground and growled, 

" What are you doing, making eye contact with Master Xiuyan? Do you wish to die?" 

Only then did she realise that this beast was known for its rampaging temperament, she lowered her eyes and did not gaze at the being in front of her.

She expected the great heavenly being to leave her alone but what she did not expect it to do was to lower its upper body as if he was making a bow before vanishing in thin air. 

" Wh…Did he just bow to me?" Song Yan turned to look at little three who shook his furry head and then said, " Don't ask me and you should also stop asking such silly questions mistress because this island is going to sink and if stay here then we will drown as well, so get your arse off the ground and run for your silly life."
