Chapter 1396 - Hiding Somewhere?
The projection inside Shirley’s Crimson Palace displayed the scene of Davis exploding into a shower of blood while Ancestor Magnus Rein dropped dead to the surface like everyone else.
Shirley’s expression was pale as her heart clenched when she witnessed this scene. She had to constantly remind herself that Davis hadn’t died and that he was only faking it to seem like that he was truly dead.This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★
However, she didn’t see a sign of using a single talisman.
So, how could he have killed the Ancestor whose cultivation seemed to be at High-Level Law Rune Stage? She simply did not believe that it magically happened, thinking that Davis must have absolutely sacrificed something to achieve this feat.
She was left unsure and anxious whether if he had truly used his blood essence and soul essence to achieve this feat. Otherwise, this kind of instant killing was unthinkable to her, even more so after he revealed that Davis had no master and it was all fake to make people not offend him.
She quickly took out a messaging talisman, screaming into it.
"Davis, are you fine!?"
*Zummm!~~~*
At this moment, a fiery light abruptly encased the entire Burning Phoenix in its illumination. The disciples, elders, and grand elders all witnessed the sudden change in the sect, noticing that the sect’s defensive formation had been activated.
The entire sect was now both defended and sealed by a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Formation, known as the Sect Encompassing Phoenix Embrace Formation that used the skull of a Burning Phoenix as a core. The core was a preserved skull from a Peak-Level Emperor Beast Stage Burning Phoenix, such that the defense it amounted was extreme enough to defend against many Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses until the energy of the formation ran out.
Looking at such a formation become activated, they were all dumbfounded.
Wasn’t this formation activated a bit too late? And even if it were activated before, it was practically useless to kill. They felt that a killing formation should’ve been activated instead, but now, it was already too late.
Casting a gaze at the distant Sect Master Lea Weiss, they became confused why she would activate it now instead of earlier. They quickly began to form some assumptions based on their intelligence and perception, mostly feeling that she took delayed action of her enmity with Grand Elder Valerian.
However, they suddenly noticed that even Sect Master Lea Weiss looked puzzled before they followed her gaze towards the distance and noticed a crimson-robed silhouette with the majestic representations of the burning phoenix etched on his robes.
The bellowing undulations emerging from this person left their mind reeling in shock! They hurriedly all kneeled. They didn’t bother if they were on the surface or mid-air. They all kneeled without hesitation, lowering their heads in trepidation. Even the Grand Elders were similar, looking at the person who arrived directly in the skies above them, at which point he seemed to be casting a look at the dead Ancestor.
"Since that Chu Feng didn’t expect it, he ended up having no choice but to commit double suicide by using an ominous, otherworldly art that required greater sacrifice like his entire life. In the end, he did make sure to bring Ancestor Magnus Rein along with him to death, so I think he had truly died."
Sect Master Lea Weiss lowered and shook her head as if she was musing to herself, "Otherwise, his existence wouldn’t make any sense."
However, she turned around as her voice boomed out.
"Search the entire sect! Leave no stone unturned for that Chu Feng to survive and escape to see another day!"
Waving her hand, she commanded in an authoritative tone as equal as Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss.
"Yes!"
The Grand Elders and Elders quickly responded along with the collective voice of the disciples resounding inside the sect. Numerous figures quickly scrambled to search while Sect Master Lea Weiss and Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss simply watched.
However, it seemed like they were grasping on empty straws as they seem to believe that Elder Chu Feng was undoubtedly dead.
Soon, Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss’s concentration was now on his fellow Ancestor’s spatial ring.
On the other hand, Sect Master Lea Weiss knew that Elder Chu Feng was in his soul body, but his last explanation of the usage of his heretic arts that required the sacrifice of his essence and body left her feeling that his words might be true. Otherwise, this kind of terrifying prowess just didn’t make any sense, even if the legendary Death Laws were taken into account.
No matter what law it may be, if there isn’t enough energy to use the move or technique, that law is bound to be useless. This was basic common sense that even a kid would understand.
Nevertheless, she was almost convinced that Elder Chu Feng had truly died if it were not for the fake blood he used to make it look like he had been fighting in his real, physical body. If it weren’t for that, she would practically be the same as everyone else, believing that Elder Chu Feng had undoubtedly died.
She pursed her lips, feeling anxious like she had never felt before.
’Lay low and hide as long as you can... Otherwise, it would be far too difficult for me to save you...’
She believed that Elder Chu Feng was hiding somewhere in the sect since his ability to conceal was off the charts, and the most likely place she could think of was...
"This Chu Feng was Top Disciple Shirley’s Protector, wasn’t he? I heard about her manifesting a Perfect Domain, but to think she would choose a crazy yet powerful person to be her protector, becoming the eventual harbinger of a calamity. Who under the heavens is he, and what is her background? I want to see the true reason behind this calamity of our sect..."
Sect Master Lea Weiss’s pupils dilated as she heard Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss’s voice. She turned her head, finding him looking at Shirley’s Crimson Palace with a complex glint in his crimson eyes.
