Chapter 405: There Is No One Here
"Undying Divine Light!"
Sure enough, someone descended at that moment and witnessed the final scene. A crimson glow departed and plunged into the void vortex to an unknown destination.
"Is that the Undying Blood Escape Technique of the Ancestors of Hades Blood?" The newcomers were astonished by the purity of that divine light, which didn't seem to be fake.
The real Patriarch of the Hades Blood Sect had also arrived and it caused quite a stir. It wasn't just about several Ancestors of Hades Blood vying for the treasures, they even meddled in the scene of the murder. From heaven to earth, in the mortal realm and the immortal realm, there was simply no place without his presence. He was like a scapegoat, single-handedly carrying the fault of the heavens. The Ancestors of Hades Blood was extremely unhappy!
"Zheng Yuantian is dead?!" The Ancestors of Hades Bloods were all moved, shocked that Old Devil Zheng had been swiftly killed by someone?
Furthermore, someone spoke in a low voice, saying, "I saw a furnace lid in the bloodlight. Could it be the Life Essence Furnace? Zheng Yuantian is actually dead." This was definitely a major event. The faces of all the arriving individuals changed.
The fourth treasure had also appeared and been obtained by someone, and it had killed Zheng Yuantian?
"Hades Blood got the Life Essence Furnace and killed Zheng Yuantian before leaving," someone spoke up.
The real Patriarch of the Hades Blood Sect looked at them and felt weary. These people standing in the bloodlight all pretended to be him.
They dared to speak about the Hades Blood? Not a single one was good!
"Are you Hades Blood? You killed fellow Taoist Zheng!" In the distance, Heng Juns white hair was fluttering while he held the Ascension Banner. He was filled with fury. The Yin-Yang Divine Robe on his body was rustling and swaying.
His killing intent was boundless and he was raging like a bull. The blood energy emanated from his body reached outer space, and was causing meteorites in the sky to explode!
"My Taoing friend Zheng Yuantian, I will find the real culprit and avenge you!" He swore.
Wang Xuan emerged from the void vortex about sixty thousand miles away. During the journey, he corrected his direction several times and hurried to the vicinity of Heng Jun's dojo. Now, he didn't care about the impending disaster behind him. Taking advantage of Heng Jun's absence, he planned to quickly search his base and take everything he had.
"Heng Jun, you aided the tyrant and helped Zheng Yuantian kill me. Well then, I won't be polite!" Wang Xuan looked at the grand mountain range ahead.
Black mountains emitted strands of innate essence that nurtured various heavenly herbs. Red mountains dripped with earth marrow that nurtured a grove of divine fruits. Silver-white mountains were crossed by flashes of sword light and were permeated with metallic qi. This was the place to refine extraordinary treasures. Heng Jun's dojo had been moved from other immortal realms to this realm that was attached to the Old World. The vast and majestic mountain ranges were diverse. Each of them occupied a vast area.
At first sight, Wang Xuan saw the tea tree right in front of the cave. It was in the open space between various divine mountains. It was unprotected mainly because Heng Jun gradually gave up on it. He couldn't afford to nurture it anymore since its transformation failed. It was hard to maintain its fundamental celestial medicine properties, requiring the medicinal soil of Mount Bu Zhou and the rare celestial nectar from higher spiritual realms. It needed constant replenishment. And now, with less than a year left until the extinction of the immortal realm, Heng Jun believed that even if it could still be sustained now, it was destined to wither in the future. There were some powerful formations guarding it, but there weren't any particularly specific arrangements. Ordinary people couldn't move this tree, but Wang Xuan had no problem with the furnace lid in hand.
Clang!
"Who are you?" Zhang Daoling asked.
"I am Hades Blood himself."
"That's odd. Usually, others impersonate members of the Hades Blood, and Old Ming is forced to change identities."
Tears welled up in the eyes of the Patriarch of Hades Blood.
Was this now an unspoken rule in the industry?
Heng Jun's face turned blue as he stood in front of his dojo. His gaze was cold while he was looking at the devastated mountains, the fallen divine islands, and the collapsed palaces. Many transcendents had died and his heavenly herbs had been dug up. It was audacious! The huge pit that was left seemed to mock him, as if it was offering him up on a platter.
"Who could it be?!" shouted Heng Jun. His gaze swept over every face.
"Immortal Patriarch, we saw thatit was Hades Blood's Patriarch. He used the Undying Blood Escape Technique to run away after destroying this place!" someone bravely reported.
"Nonsense!" The Patriarch of Hades Blood had arrived and straightaway rebuked upon hearing this. He could tolerate covert actions, but now even overt actions were aimed at him. This was intolerable.
"Trace back to the past!" Heng Jun's voice rang out grimly. He used his supreme power and intended to trace back to the past and see who was responsible.
Soon, he found it incredibly difficult. It was almost impossible to trace back. This was somewhat terrifying, so much so that it astonished everyone present.
They couldnt even trace back to recent events? Was this person not in the world?
Heng Jun snorted coldly and activated his Ascension Banner to enhance his search. There was a bit of effect, but it only showed a vague figure. The person was completely covered in armor and was heavily concealed. Not long after that, the image dispersed in an instant.
"How is it possible, why am I unable to trace back?" Heng Jun murmured. He then quickly remembered something and said, "Reality, Illusion, Inversion of the universe and disrupting the traces of time and space. The person who can collect such things is definitely not simple!"
He chased the Roaming Ark and the Sword of Mortal for a distance, then the treasures swiftly disappeared into the void. They had completely vanished. Heng Jun's expression turned ugly. Holding his Ascension Banner, he tore through the void once again. He searched until he stopped in a desolate mountain range. He stood there for a long time and was completely clueless. The slight pulsation in his hand from the banner had long ceased.
Wang Xuan sighed. The Hades Blood Patriarch's escape skills were definitely top-notch. The speed of the Undying Blood Escape Technique was too fast. He had long entered the darkness after the lid of the furnace fell silent. He hastened away until he finally saw the inn that had glowing red lanterns hanging, and then rose into the air along the mist. In the dimness, he stepped into the blurry area. His body seemed to distort along with the mist. As he walked further away, his figure became fainter until he disappeared.
With a swish, he returned back to the Life Soil through the spacetime passage. He had successfully escaped from the Immortal Realm with great gains and no dangers. He didn't dare to delay. He placed the shrunken tea tree into the furnace and sealed it tightly to completely isolate it from the world. By doing that, it prevented any aura from leaking out of the tree. Then, he dug into the Life Soil and buried the treasures deep down. He planned to take a break first and then find time to plant the ancient tea trees in the Solitary Void. Now that this was done, he was eager to know what had happened in the real world during his absence. He was quite worried about his parents.
"I killed Old Zheng just like that," Wang Xuan muttered to himself. His spirit returned and quickly merged with his physical body. Then, he opened his eyes.
