Chapter 1332 Ambush (4)
Feeling himself starting to calm down as he watched the demonic cultivators disappearing into the depths of the Frozen Wastelands, the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire turned his attention towards the direction of where the unknown powerful cultivator had deliberately shown himself just a short time earlier.
However, when using his divine sense to look over in that direction, he didn't find anyone in the Celestial Immortal Realm, but instead just felt his divine sense colliding with the guardian formation of a local sect.
Not wanting to accidentally destroy the local sect's guardian formation with his powerful divine sense, he decided to retract it. Knowing that the mysterious Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator who had lend him a hand earlier in scaring off the demonic cultivator should have already left place. Likely not wanting to get any more involved in the situation.
Whoosh-!
Whoosh-!
Whoosh-!
Just at this moment, three powerful auras suddenly appeared in the distance before almost instantly crossing over and arriving directly in front of the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire. Soon revealing themselves to be three Celestial Immortals from the Blue Sea Empire who had rushed over the moment they learnt about what had happened.
"Where are the demonic cultivators? Did they leave already?"
Out of the three, one of them couldn't help asking in a somewhat confused tone as he had and the other two had been expecting to find their friend besieged by three Demon King Realm demonic cultivators when they arrived. Not him standing around aimlessly staring into the distance.
If not for the fact that they could clearly see and sense the destructive battle that had taken place only a short time earlier, they would have doubted whether or not the ancestor standing in front of them had really encounter an attack from a group of demonic cultivators in the Demon King Realm.
"Yes... They left not too long ago someone else arrived before you three and helped scare them off before they had a chance to kill me..."
"Kill you!? Was it really that serious? How could they possibly push you to such a desperate state in such a short period of time. Unless..."
"Indeed, the Frozen Wasteland Demon King was involved. If not for one of the sneak attacks being weaker than the rest and the sudden arrival of an unknown Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator who prevented any further attacks, I doubt I would have been able to safely escape with my life today..." Nodding his head with a solemn expression on his face, the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire who had just been ambushed told the rest about his thoughts on what had happened.
Whoosh~!
However, only a short time after the demonic cultivators left, Xuan Hao felt a terrifying divine sense descending on the Star Shattering Sect before quickly leaving again after encountering the Chaotic Qi Formation.
That is... Did the Celestial Immortal sense me defending against the attack earlier and decided to investigate...?
Although he didn't try to forcibly pierce through the formation and take a peek inside, that is only the case for now, I doubt he will ignore a formation capable of defending against a Demon King Realm demonic cultivator...
Narrowing both of his eyes as he thought about this while carefully preparing himself for a possible response from the Blue Sea Empire, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a bit nervous.
Even though his strength had increased by quite a bit over the past few years, he was still far away from being comparable to someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm.
At the moment, the only thing he had that allowed him some confidence in facing off against a Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator was the Chaotic Qi Formation that he had at least managed to confirm had the ability to defend against someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm.
Of course, defending against someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm still meant that he would be able to do much against someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm outside the range of the Chaotic Qi Formation.
Whoosh-!
Whoosh-!
Even worse, he soon felt three equally powerful divine senses sweeping over the chaotic qi formation before retreating without interfering with the formation.
Sensing the situation at the border of the Onyx Empire to the best of his ability without using his divine sense, Xuan Hao could feel that three more Celestial Immortals had appeared.
The only reason he could sense them clearly without using his divine sense was because that none of these Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators bothered hiding their presence... And from the earlier rapid escape of the demonic cultivators, Xuan Hao guessed that these demonic cultivators should have noticed them from afar and thus decided to escape before they showed up and joined the battle.
Although, the time between the arrival of the three Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators and the demonic cultivators leaving was at least a few minutes. Making Xuan Hao believe that it might not have been the demonic cultivators themselves who sensed these Celestial Immortals coming, but instead one of their spies inside the Blue Sea Empire who had in turn informed them about the approach of the three Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators.
That or the divine sense and senses of those above the Dao Seed Realm far exceed his imagination, stretching far beyond the range of a few smaller empires...
