Chapter 769: Seethrough

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xie Xiangyao arrived with remarkable speed, appearing before Jiang Chengxuan and the others in just the blink of an eye.

“Greetings, Senior Sister.”

“Greetings, Senior Sister Xie.”

Jiang Chengxuan, Hong Mei, and Wen Tao all bowed to Xie Xiangyao.

It was obvious that Xie Xiangyao was superior to Wen Tao in both strength and status.

At this moment.

Xie Xiangyao first nodded slightly towards Wen Tao and Hong Mei before turning her attention to Jiang Chengxuan with a smile,

“Little Junior Brother, you’ve performed quite well in Heavenly Edge Immortal City. Even cultivators at the Celestial Radiance stage couldn’t stand against you.

It seems you possess even more potential than Junior Brother Zhao and I had imagined.”

It was obvious that she had sensed their situation before her arrival.

Jiang Chengxuan modestly responded to her praise,

“Senior Sister flatters me. I’m far from being comparable to you.

Moreover, we still need you to avenge us for this matter.”

“Hehe, Little Junior Brother, you really have a glib tongue.”

Xie Xiangyao chuckled, playfully tapping Jiang Chengxuan, then her expression turned stern.

“But you’re right. Do the deepsea nomads, demons, and the eldars really think they can repeatedly invade our city and just walk away without paying any price?”

With that, she looked towards the horizon beyond Heavenly Edge Immortal City.

“Little Junior Brother, Hong Mei, and Junior Brother Wentao, wait here fora moment. I’ll be right back.”

Without waiting for their response, her figure flashed and vanished from their sight.

At the same time.

The retreating cultivators from the deepsea nomads, demons, and eldars hadn’t yet reached their territories when they suddenly found themselves immobilized.

This made Eldarian Sovereign Shadowless, Boyuan, Gussa, Black Dragon Warlock, and the others reveal extremely terrified expressions.

An extremely terrifying thought suddenly appeared in their hearts.

“A Seethrough Almighty! It’s a Seethrough Almighty!” (Seethrough-Previously referred to as Profound Mystery.)

This was because only those in the Profound Mystery stage had the ability to immobilize all of us in place.

“Heh, quite the speedy retreat,” Xie Xiangyao commented as she suddenly appeared in front of Boyuan, Eldarian Sovereign Shadowless, Gussa, and Black Dragon Warlock.

Their expressions turned ashen at the sight of her, recognizing the formidable opponent they now faced.

Xie Xiangyao didn’t waste her breath on them. She stared at Boyuan and Eldarian Sovereign Shadowless and said indifferently,

“Tell me, why do you insist on attacking the Heavenly Edge Immortal City? According to what I know, the area where the Heavenly Edge Immortal City is located should not be of any value to you.

Your repeated attacks on the Heavenly Edge Immortal City are not in line with your style.”

Her words made Boyuan and Eldarian Sovereign Shadowless’s pupils constrict.

They did not expect their careful actions to still draw significant attention from the Haoran Sect.

They had hoped to avoid alerting Haoran Sect’s high-level powers by not deploying Seethrough cultivators.

However, even so, the Haoran Sect still sent a Seethrough cultivator.

This made them instantly feel that this matter was probably going to lead to something worse.

How could their subtle reactions escape Xie Xiangyao?

Almost in an instant, she sensed the abnormality of the few of them.

This made her eyes narrow.

“It seems there indeed might be an issue either with Heavenly Edge Immortal City itself or its vicinity.”

As she spoke, ignoring the terrified expressions of Boyuan and Eldarian Sovereign Shadowless, she waved her hand, causing them and their cohorts to disintegrate like weathered rock, erasing their essence from both the spiritual and the most minute physical levels.

Even though they had already fused their Primordial Spirit into this world, they could not escape the fate of death.

Whoosh—

With a flick of her hand, Xie Xiangyao collected the storage rings dropped by them and returned to the city.

“How did it go, Senior Sister?” Jiang Chengxuan, Hong Mei, and Wen Tao immediately inquired upon her return.

Xie Xiangyao nodded at them,

“I’ve dealt with those leading Celestial Radiance stage cultivators.

But right now, that’s not the most important matter.”

“Not the most important matter?” Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan and the others were momentarily taken aback.

Xie Xiangyao confirmed with a nod.

“Indeed, based on my speculation, our city, or rather, the area surrounding our city, may be hiding secrets unknown to us,” Xie Xiangyao elaborated.

“Really? There’s such a thing?”

Jiang Chengxuan and the others were slightly stunned by this revelation.

This immediately made them think of the abnormal actions of the deepsea nomads and demons over the years.

Logically speaking, if they intended to attack a human city, they shouldn’t have focused solely on Heavenly Edge Immortal City.

Carefully considering the enemy’s actions from the beginning, there indeed seemed to be something wrong.

If the deepsea nomads, demons, and even the eldars had access to some unknown information, all their actions would suddenly make sense.

” I will be residing in Heavenly Edge Immortal City for the time being,” Xie Xiangyao continued.

“I will also send a message to our sect, asking them to dispatch some experts skilled in investigation. If there truly are any secrets hidden in or around the city, we should be able to uncover them sooner.”

The response from the Haoran Sect was swift.

Just two days after Xie Xiangyao sent her message, several cultivators skilled in investigations from the Haoran Sect arrived.

All of them were at the Void Returning Realm.

Among them was a middle-aged male cultivator named Fang Haoran. Like Xie Xiangyao, he had reached the Seethrough stage.

As soon as they met, Xie Xiangyao said,

“So it’s Senior Brother Fang leading the team. With you here, we should be able to uncover any secrets hidden in or around Heavenly Edge Immortal City.” “Hehe, thank you for your praise, Junior Sister.”

Fang Haoran smiled and shook his head.

111 can only say I’ 11 do my best. The final outcome will depend on our investigation.”
