Chapter 729: Bai Feng's Return (1)

In Great Xia, Hong Tan was starting to act overbearingly.

To the east, at the Rising Sky Sea, an eighth-stage Mountainsea stationed there was just assassinated. The event shocked the entire Rising Sky Sea. That Mountainsea had been killed right inside the military camp.

One Sunmoon after another was called back to the camp. Who did it? The Myriad Race Cult? The marine beasts? Or someone else?

Rising Sky Sea.

Atop a certain island, Chen Yong was coughing blood yet laughing cheerfully.

"Are you still alive?"

Beside him, Feng Ji lay sprawled on the ground. After a while, he gruffly replied, "Yeah. You're quite strong. Much stronger than back then."

"I'm alright, I suppose." Chen Yong smiled, "Finally, that animal is dead."

Feng Ji was too tired to say more. After a long pause, he asked, "What next?"

"We continue." Chen Yong said, "Heal up and kill more people. There are too many parasites in the Human Realm. Since nobody is willing to clean the trash, let me do it."

"Sure." Feng Ji paused slightly before asking, "Will you be able to stay alive?"

Chen Yong said, "I'm fine. Since I walk the defensive path, this is merely a small wound."

Defensive path? This so-called defensive expert was actually quite an effective killer. That eighth-stage Mountainsea was only able to seriously injure him before getting killed immediately after. Was that still a defensive expert?

"How are the Six-Winged Divine Sect people?"

Chen Yong thought about it and said, "There is no rush. We'll keep walking them around. That makes it easier for us to make them scapegoat when we need it."

He sneered, "I will have some people fan the public sentiment. The Six-Winged Divine Sect has sinned greatly and commited countless murders yet the Knowledge Seeking Realm and War Shrine are completely useless against them. They allowed this sect to continue doing as they wish in the Human Realm. All the deaths in our path are unrelated to us."

Feng Ji said nothing. If what they did was exposed, things would be very troublesome. Chen Yong did not have solid proof to turn the Six-Winged Divine Sect into their scapegoat. Once his action of killing a high-ranked military official in the Rising Sky Sea was exposed, a great crisis would come. An eighth-stage Mountainsea was no longer a nobody.

But Chen Yong did not seem to mind. After coughing yet another mouthful of blood, he laughed, "Su Yu's Acupoint Fusion Art is really quite good. The Body Strengthening Art is pretty good as well. You should cultivate them when you have the time."

"It's too difficult."

He was already a Mountainsea. Opening new acupoints was too hard. It was different for Chen Yong since Chen Yong's body wasn't at the Mountainsea Realm yet. Chen Yong nodded. That was true.

A different Mountainsea gloomily asked, "Who was the killer? There is no way for us to remove suspicion from us. We are being blamed for taking the life of a Mountainsea official. This is too dangerous. Offending the military is completely different than causing trouble in some small cities."

The military was filled with countless experts. If the situation continued escalating, some military experts might even return from the frontlines to hunt them down. That would be far more dangerous than being hunted by the eight families. The local military could not compare as well.

The military at the Allheaven Battlefield had fought for over three hundred years. They had reached an extremely high level in combat, pursuit, and encirclement. It would be very difficult to escape the pursuit of these people.

More importantly, this felt terrible. They were not the killers! But who would believe them? What? Were they going to say that Chen Yong was the culprit? What a joke!

Feng Ji was a third-stage Mountainsea while Chen Yong was a fresh Mountainsea. Were they supposed to kill an eighth-stage Mountainsea just to make the Six-Winged Divine Sect scapegoat? What nonsense was that?

The sect master stood there silently. After a bit, a jade pendant in his sea of willpower shook. A voice came from the jade pendant, "The high-ranked military official, Liu Qi, is dead?"

"Yes," replied the sect master.

"Was it you?"

"No!"

"Chen Yong?"

"Yes. That is very likely."

After a short silence, the voice came again, "Kill him at all costs. I will give you a list of names. There are several locations he might head to next. Kill him."

The sect master's heart skipped a beat. He said, "Lord, is Liu Qi one of us?"

"Yes."

Realization dawned on the sect master. Chen Yong had caught on to their tail!

He asked worriedly, "Will this affect you, Lord?"

"Don't worry. Chen Yong has no proof of anything. Liu Qi is not enough to implicate me. But we can't let him continue. Otherwise, this is bound to attract more attention."

"This subordinate understands." The sect master decided to make his request, "Lord, I need help. I need a good tracker. Chen Yong and Feng Ji are too hard to track. The Human Realm is too big and the scope of what we can do is too small. We have a lot less leeway when moving out in the public."

During this pursuit, there were a few times when Chen Yong would flee into some large cities. And these cultists wouldn't even dare to show their presence in cities with experts in it.

Furthermore, Chen Yong was simply too good at concealment. Up until this point, they had yet to even encounter him once. There was only that one encounter with Feng Ji, but he was able to escape.

"I'll arrange for it."

The conversation ended there.
