Chapter 863

Divide and Conquer

“Besides being able to hear and sense my presence, Third Heaven Palace’s members can hurt me. I took a blow with my arm to verify it for myself.” Mu Yu stated.

“But y-”

“Previously, Ultimate Concealment Bloody Guardian shielded me from soul energy, but something must’ve malfunctioned because it no longer does,” Mu Yu theorised, sullen over ruining what Ku Mu gave his life for.

“How did you detect him following us?”

“I don’t know; I suddenly just picked up on Gu Chaofeng’s presence when he was a certain distance from us.”

Lie Shang inspected the damage to the desert and scanned the surrounding area. “Let’s get moving. His explosion is comparable to a loud signal.”

“Okay.”

The two descended on a mountain after a two hour trip out of the desert.

“You going to search for the ninth immortal on your own?” Lie Shang inquired.

“Yes. We can’t expect the fiends to bodyguard a human.”

“Can’t we put Xiang Nan first?”

“If I’m not wrong, it was Reverend Nilei who pointed out to me where the ninth immortal is. I might be able to also find Reverend Nilei if we’re lucky.”

“... How do you plan to protect the immortal once you find them?”

“I’ll cast a concealment formation on them to hide their presence even from any search formations because...”

“Let’s leave Clearwater City. There’s no way we could beat them if Eastern Desert City’s cultivators couldn’t.”

“Third Heaven Palace needs to work faster and select the nine leaders already.”

“Oi, oi, why did the white flame suddenly vanish?”

“Why are you asking me?”

“Another attack?”

“Let’s get out of here!”

Jin Xiyun, who watched the cultivators hurtle, fiddled with the white flame she scooped up. Gu Chaofeng left behind a shred of soul energy in the white flame when he self-destructed without Lie Shang’s knowledge. When Jin Xiyun drew Gu Chaofeng’s energy out, she received Gu Chaofeng’s dying message.

“Mu Yu, huh? This is troublesome now that they know our appearance.” Eyes on the hurtling cultivators, Jin Xiyun muttered, “Good thing Gu Chaofeng self-destructed. Humans are so pathetic now. Well, it works in our favour. Let’s reinforce your faith in Third Heaven Palace some more, shall we?”

Jin Xiyun snapped her fingers, transporting the white flame beside a group of cultivators and imploding it to torch them.

“The more you fear elemental demons, the more you will rely on us.”
