Elder Ren found that Chen Yu had escaped but did not pursue him right away. To do so would be akin to abandoning the treasure hoard of the Evil Yin Ancestor.
His hatred for Chen Yu was imnse, which made him extrely conflicted.
The other four from the Guiyuan Realm who were with Elder Ren also didn’t rush to make a move.
The two sisters possessed mid-grade Spiritual Artifacts and were very powerful. Moreover, there was the man with the conical hat and Wan Baoguang beside them.
"Elders from a different clan? And that one in the Late Guiyuan Realm, does he know the man in the black robe on our team?"
This thought quickly flashed through Wan Baoguang’s mind.
Things were different from what he had expected. The powerhouses of the different clan hadn’t arrived; instead, another group of strong foes had descended.
And within this group of powerhouses, the one in the Late Guiyuan Realm seed to recognize Chen Yu, launching a killing move as soon as he appeared.
What surprised him even more was that Chen Yu managed to withstand a blow from the Late Guiyuan Realm and escape unscathed.
"It seems that man in the black robe has been hiding his power all along." For the first ti, Wan Baoguang felt that the young people of today were also so deeply scheming.
Looking at the solemn and intense expressions of Elder Ren and the other five Guiyuan Realm cultivators, Wan Baoguang felt a shiver within.
"They want to seize the treasure, but they’re worried about us teaming up with these two sisters..."
Wan Baoguang guessed the enemies’ thoughts in an instant.
In fact, he had considered this himself, but it wasn’t realistic. Even if they joined forces, it seed the enemies were stronger.
Moreover, Wan Baoguang didn’t want to team up with the twin sisters who had turned evil.
"Gentlen, I shall not take part in this matter. Please open a convenient gate for to leave."
Wan Baoguang said humbly.
"I, too, will leave."
The man with the conical hat also spoke.
"Let’s go."
The four Guiyuan Realm cultivators glanced at Elder Ren and, upon seeing no objection from him, the leader among the black robed elders spoke.
In reality, this was also what they hoped for; otherwise, dealing with the two sisters would be sowhat difficult.
Elder Ren had even more to consider.
If he pursued Chen Yu, he would miss out on the treasures here. If he stayed, he would once again have to let Chen Yu live.
At this mont, as Wan Baoguang and the man with the conical hat took the initiative to leave, it suited his wishes.
Once these two left, the remaining two sisters would be enough for the four black robed elders to handle, and he could go after Chen Yu.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Wan Baoguang and the man with the conical hat dashed out, not willing to team up with the twins to deal with these powerful foes now that they could leave.
"No, the real treasure has been taken by them."
The sisters imdiately cried out.
"Do you take us for fools?"
The black robed elder scoffed disdainfully.
When they entered, they had heard that it was these two sisters who had obtained the treasure and wanted to kill to silence them; moreover, the battle situation also saw the sisters having the upper hand.
Furthermore, the mid-grade Spiritual Artifacts in the hands of the sisters were the best proof.
In their eyes, the sisters’ claims were just a ploy to distract them and seek a way to live, but they wouldn’t fall for it.
"This matter is left to you."
Elder Ren imdiately said.
"Don’t worry, Elder Ren."
The black robed elder revealed a hint of a warm smile.
With Elder Ren gone, they could hide so of the spoils after killing the two sisters.
After all, with Elder Ren absent, he wouldn’t know what they had scavenged.
Swoosh!
After speaking, Elder Ren transford into a black afterimage and left the Evil Yin Tower.
It didn’t take long for him to catch up with Wan Baoguang and the man with the conical hat, who had just left.
The two were startled, thinking that this powerhouse of late-stage Demonic Rejuvenation had co to cut them down.
But Elder Ren didn’t care about these two at all, brushing past them.
Watching Elder Ren head off into the distance, Wan Baoguang and the man with the conical hat exchanged a glance, "This Late Guiyuan Realm power must have tracked them all this way. What enmity do the two of them have, after all?"
To make a Late Guiyuan Realm powerhouse go through so much trouble, to the point of ignoring treasure to kill Chen Yu, just what offense had Chen Yu committed against this Late-stage Guiyuan Realm figure?
"This is no longer our concern. This expedition is over; Jiang Chen, until next ti."
Wan Baoguang smiled at the man with the conical hat as he spoke.
"Until next ti."
Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised that Wan Baoguang had guessed his identity.
Watching Jiang Chen leave, Wan Baoguang couldn’t help but sigh, "Soday, this man will definitely make a na for himself in Yun Zhao Country!"
Jiang Chen was a student of Sky Sword Academy from two terms ago. He didn’t co from an influential family and had managed to secure third place in the academy competition. Later, he joined the Ye Family, one of the four great families.
However, as a Guest Elder, the Ye Family did not provide him with many resources. Relying on his own abilities, Jiang Chen ventured out to gain experience and treasure hunt.
During the ti inside the tower, Jiang Chen had shown strength that was nearly at the peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm. It was believed that in the upcoming Talent Tea Party in six months, he would shine brilliantly.
But who was that man in the black robe? He had kept his strength so deeply hidden...
...
Chen Yu was able to burst out with the speed of a Late Guiyuan Realm for a short ti but couldn’t maintain it for long.
Shortly after, he sensed a strong pressure surging from behind. The one coming after him was none other than Elder Ren.
"Chen Yu, you scoundrel, Yi Lantian saved your life that day, but where can you escape to now?"
Elder Ren laughed loudly, his voice trembling slightly from excitent.
This ti, no one would co to Chen Yu’s aid; his death was all but certain.
However, Chen Yu had a pair of black wings behind him that seed to amplify his speed, making it difficult to catch up to him for a short ti.
Boom!
Elder Ren swung his arm, black True Yuan swirling around his limb, whipping up a dark tempest.
"Go."
He flung his arm fiercely, and a massive black Wind Blade hurled towards Chen Yu.
When dealing with a fleeing enemy, one must use a wide-ranging killing move to leave no room for escape.
"Swallowing Cloud Demon Fist."
Chen Yu’s fist generated a suction force, gathering demonic energy and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from all directions to form a massive demon fist illusion. Dark, fierce patterns adorned it.
Boom!
A massive black fist shot into the sky, growing larger and larger, colliding with the black wind blade.
For a mont, the two forces intertwined, and the black fist managed to block the wind blade.
At the sa ti, Chen Yu harnessed the recoil of that punch to burst forth with an even greater speed.
"This kid, his strength has beco so strong."
Ren Bing was inwardly shocked, his killing intent towards Chen Yu intensified.
Although that previous move of his was perford casually, it was still not sothing an early Guiyuan Realm Peak could easily block, but Chen Yu had done it.
Ren Bing calmly closed in on Chen Yu once more.
"Where will you escape to this ti?"
Ren Bing shouted low, ready to make his move.
Chen Yu retrieved a talisman, provided by Wan Baoguang from the ruins.
True Yuan surged into it, and the talisman gradually dissipated, turning into a trendous force of wind that attached to Chen Yu.
With minimal effort, this force propelled him forward.
Instantly, Chen Yu exploded with a speed characteristic of the Late Guiyuan Realm, and with the black residual wings amplifying the effect, his pace quickened even more.
Boom!
Chen Yu stirred up a turbulent wind, widening the distance between him and Ren Bing, getting further and further away, even about to vanish from sight.
"So the kid has a talisman that boosts speed."
Ren Bing’s face darkened; chasing down soone at the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak without results for half a day was displeasing to him.
"Devil Light Magic Escape!"
Ren Bing beca surrounded by rising black Demonic Qi, emitting a dim black light.
Boom!
There was a sudden explosion of formidable aura from him, his speed skyrocketed, chasing forward.
Chen Yu’s talisman lasted only ten breaths of ti, whereas Ren Bing’s escape technique far exceeded that.
Once again, Ren Bing caught up with him.
Chen Yu’s expression turned grim, filled with intense irritation.
Although he had once joined forces with the Red Fla King to severely injure a Late Guiyuan Realm individual,
Tie Yuanshan’s Late-Stage Pseudo Guiyuan Realm and Ren Bing’s true Late Guiyuan Realm were distinctly different.
Moreover, to deal with Tie Yuanshan at the ti, he had used all his thods and still did not go through with the kill.
If Chen Yu were to stop and battle Ren Bing, using all his tricks, there was a high chance he could force Ren Bing to retreat, but it would be difficult to kill him.
By then, various secrets of Chen Yu would be exposed, and if Ren Bing simply spread the word, Chen Yu would beco a target for nurous Guiyuan Realm powers, a loss outweighing the gain.
Hence, without assurance of slaying Ren Bing, Chen Yu didn’t wish to reveal cards like the "Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword."
Therefore, he fled.
"Demon Dance."
Ren Bing suddenly extended his claws, violently grabbing forward, and the space directly ahead churned with darkness, forming nurous pillars of demonic energy, wildly thrashing.
Chen Yu was more adept at straight runs, and taking turns made it easier to be caught up to.
Caught off guard, Chen Yu was swiped by a demonic pillar, causing a shock to his inner Qi.
Bang!
He flew backward, with Chen Yu imdiately invoking the third demonic pattern to unleash the Demon Scale Armor.
Bang!
From behind, another demonic pillar struck.
"Demonic Annihilation Claw."
Chen Yu activated the first demonic pattern, and his claw swept out, its terrifying destructive power breaking the twisting demonic pillar.
However, by then, Ren Bing had arrived, a dreadful pressure of demonic power crashing down, darkening the heavens and earth imnsely.
Even from below, Chen Yu looked up at Ren Bing, his demonic intent bursting forth, soaring to the skies, matching Ren Bing in a standoff.
"Don’t push too far."
Chen Yu coldly shouted, the intensity in his deanor increased.
If Ren Bing truly pressed him relentlessly, Chen Yu had no choice but to unveil the "Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword," call forth the Red Fla King, and fight with all his might.
In that battle, he might expose his hand and beco the center of controversy, but if Ren Bing failed to slay him, his reputation would plumt.
Ren Bing felt a twinge of shock inside. Chen Yu showed no trace of fear in this predicant, and his spirit could not possibly be faked. Where did his courage co from?
The next mont, the killing intent resurfaced on Ren Bing’s face. He was actually hesitant because of Chen Yu’s aura and his words. How humiliating.
"I will not only bully you, but I will also kill you."
Ren Bing’s eyes filled with a nacing light, a terrible surge of True Yuan rising.
Chen Yu’s gaze was deep and calm, ready for what would co.
But at that mont.
Roar!
Behind them, a mass of blood clouds appeared in the sky, expanding rapidly with incredible speed, radiating an imnse pressure of the Blood Path.
That pressure alone indicated to Chen Yu that the newcor might be even more powerful than Ren Bing.
"Could it be another powerhouse from the Black Prison Alliance?"
Chen Yu’s heart stirred; if that was truly the case, even going all out now might prove aningless.
"Hmm?"
Ren Bing’s brow furrowed.
He recognized that aura; Ren Bing could guess who it was.
Yet, why would she co here?
Ren Bing’s departure this ti had not alerted many.
Moreover, why would she rush here to kill Chen Yu?
In an instant, the sky turned blood-red.
Chen Yu turned around only to see a strikingly attractive woman, standing within the rolling blood mist. She bore the Blood Lotus Mark on her forehead, dressed in a lavish Blood Lotus Skirt, her stern gaze coolly overlooking from above, falling on Chen Yu in the deep forest. A flicker of complex emotion passed through her eyes.
"You are..."
Chen Yu was imdiately dumbstruck.
This sudden appearance of a Blood Path powerhouse was actually soone he knew, Tong Yuling, whom he had parted ways with in the Blood Burial Garden.
"Blood Lotus Saintess, what brings you here?"
Ren Bing’s aura subsided a touch, speaking with a slight wariness.
