Chapter 739: Chapter 412: Chance Encounter_2
However,
just as Chen Mu continued to delve deeper, his gaze suddenly shifted, casting his attention to a distant spot. He sensed a faint fluctuation of aura. Although the other party tried their best to conceal it, he could still perceive a trace.
The newcor was not a Spirit Human, but surely a Grandmaster, and the aura faintly familiar.
“Hmm?”
A trace of astonishnt flickered in Chen Mu’s eyes.
The strand of aura did not align with his forward path, but he still quietly pursued it.
In Xunmu Cave Heaven, it was rare for a Grandmaster to act alone, or rather, almost unheard of. Such a situation ant either an accident had occurred, or so change had arisen. He had already roughly figured out who the person might be. Previously on Dragon Wood Island, among the hundreds of Grandmasters, there were a few he recognized.
However, it was not appropriate to reveal his identity at the ti, so he did not take further action. Among them were so Grandmasters from the Cold North he had encountered in the Ice State Abyss, including a Grandmaster from Seven Profound Sect, who counted as vaguely familiar.
…
Swish! Swish!!
Among the lush canopy, a figure forcefully contained his aura and swiftly moved.
He donned a long robe but his appearance was slightly disheveled, not daring to pause for even a second, and his eyes betrayed a hint of terror. It was the Grandmaster from the Seven Profound Sect, Fang Yuan.
Among the many elders of the Seven Profound Sect, he was often seen exploring the Outer Sea. Since he was not very old and still had a chance to achieve Blood Exchange, he spent most of his ti in the Outer Sea seeking opportunities.
This ti, as Xunmu Cave Heaven opened, he too participated. Unlike Chen Mu, he was not in the sa team but followed so of his connections with another team. He had not noticed Chen Mu’s presence earlier.
“Damn, how could two Spirit Ancestors appear!”
Fang Yuan cursed under his breath.
He was always cautious in his actions. Participating in Xunmu Cave Heaven was also based on extensive intelligence he had gathered beforehand. The intelligence indicated that the Spirit People Race had longer lifespans than the Human Race but their cultivation seed more challenging. Moreover, for over a thousand years, there had only ever been one Blood Exchange Realm among them.
One Blood Exchange Realm Spirit Ancestor was daunting, but with their assembled team and various prepared asures, they had enough confidence to repel it together, hence the risk wasn’t high.
But,
he had encountered two Spirit Ancestors!
Although Fang Yuan knew that since Xunmu Cave Heaven could give birth to one Spirit Ancestor-level being, it was possible for a second to erge, the likelihood was extrely low as the Spirit People Race hadn’t seen a second Spirit Ancestor born for over a thousand years.
It had to be known that, even in the outside world, in Da Xuan Ninety-Nine States, it was not easy for any state to give birth to a Blood Exchange Realm, often a state would only see one or two in a hundred years.
In the constrained world of Xunmu Cave Heaven, it was bound to be even harder.
Yet, this low-probability event had just happened to occur to him, leading to extraordinarily bad luck.
His team, though not weak, could not withstand Ling Huan and Ling Ji, two figures at Spirit Ancestor Level. Almost instantly, they were completely routed, everyone scattering in flight.
Fang Yuan, who had road the Martial World for decades and faced life-or-death situations more than once, found this ti particularly terrifying. He knew that if he were caught by either Ling Ji or Ling Huan, it would be certain death!
His techniques simply were not enough to save his life in the face of a Blood Exchange Realm opponent!
Run!
The farther, the better!
Although it had been a quarter of an hour since he began his escape, and he had run at full speed without knowing how far he had fled, his heart could not settle down at all. In Xunmu Cave Heaven, being alone was the most dangerous situation. Only by finding other teams, or even persuading two or three teams to converge, was there a possibility of finding so way to survive.
Just as Fang Yuan was concealing his qi and desperately fleeing, suddenly, he felt a blur before his eyes, and, in his field of vision, soone appeared out of nowhere, standing right in front of him.
This shock was no small matter, almost scaring him to death!
Being able to appear so suddenly on his path, and completely undetected by him, his almost imdiate reaction was that it was the two Spirit Ancestors attacking, and his heart even felt as if it had plunged into an ice pit.
Almost instinctively, he was about to bring out all his life-saving asures and desperately use them.
But his movents paused imdiately afterward.
“Elder Fang.”
Chen Mu stood in front of Fang Yuan, greeted him, and appeared calm.
“Chen Mu?!”
Since Chen Mu had resud his original appearance, Fang Yuan almost instantly recognized him, his eyes suddenly widening, sowhat astonished, “When did you co to Xunmu Cave Heaven?”
Chen Mu spoke in a calm tone, “I ca in with Elder Fang, but to prevent accidents, I slightly used so thods to hide my presence. By the way, Elder Fang, what kind of situation have you encountered? Why are you in such a sorry state?”
Once Fang Yuan confird that the person in front of him was truly Chen Mu, his whole person slightly relaxed.
“It’s a long story. Two Spirit Ancestors erged in this Xunmu Cave Heaven, my previous team was scattered, and now I don’t know how many survived. Elder Chen, could it be that you also…”
He paused again in his speech.
After the Ice State Abyss had closed, he had imdiately set off for the Outer Sea, earlier than Chen Mu to the Outer Sea, and he was unaware of the subsequent situation with Chen Mu. However, he did know that Chen Mu had repelled the Heavenly Demon Ancestor Yuwen Hao in the Ice State Abyss!
Being able to fend off Yuwen Hao ant Chen Mu’s strength was already recognized to be on par with the Blood Exchange Realm. With an existence like Chen Mu, if he were with a team, even if he encountered the two Spirit Humans Ancestors, Ling Huan and Ling Ji, he should not be as disheveled as he was.
“Both?”
Upon hearing Fang Yuan’s words, Chen Mu’s brow slightly furrowed.
This was indeed news to him. If there were two Spirit Human Ancestors, that would be quite troubleso. Although he had cultivated a Perfection Martial Body, facing the two Ling Huans alone would not make overcoming them easy.
Seeing that Chen Mu was unaware, Fang Yuan wasn’t surprised and quickly recounted his earlier encounter. His expression beca even more serious, “Elder Chen, this is no place to linger. We need to quickly contact other teams and gather people; otherwise, we will surely be targeted and defeated individually by those two Spirit Ancestors, and then things would get troubleso!”
“… it might not be as urgent as that.”
After listening to Fang Yuan’s account, Chen Mu’s expression cald down.
It wasn’t two Spirit Humans like Ling Huan that had erged, but a ‘newcor’ Spirit Ancestor had appeared instead. This newcor’s strength had a certain gap compared to Ling Huan, barely crossing the threshold of Blood Exchange.
Under these circumstances, the threat to him was much less. Even if the two tead up, with his current strength, he was confident enough to fight and win and even quite sure he could kill the newcor Spirit Ancestor on the spot!
Hearing Chen Mu’s words,
Fang Yuan was montarily taken aback, then spoke with gravity, “Elder Chen, I know your strength is imnse, and you were even able to repel Yuwen Hao, but those two Spirit Ancestors are no easy opponents either. In this Xunmu Cave Heaven, they have the ho advantage. Even the new one is not weaker than Yuwen Hao, and the other one might even be a match for Supre Yin. If we encounter a pincer attack from these two, it would be extrely perilous for you, Elder Chen. I think it’s better to be cautious.”
Having t Chen Mu, he felt much relieved. After all, having a presence on par with the Blood Exchange Realm by his side made everything seem a bit safer. By searching for other teams together with Chen Mu, their safety would be significantly increased.
But Chen Mu appeared to underestimate the two Spirit Ancestors and wasn’t planning on contacting other teams or gathering forces. This made Fang Yuan feel uneasy. Whether Chen Mu could face the two Spirit Ancestors unscathed was unclear, but he knew well that if they truly encountered those two Spirit Ancestors, he, Fang Yuan, would most likely et his demise!
