Chapter 417: Chapter 417: A Thorny Path Ahead

A white glow emanated from Yang Huai, as if an angel had descended upon him.

His severely injured body began to heal rapidly within that light.

The types of Secret Collection are diverse, not only offensive but also healing.

Yang Huai tried to rise and flee, but Xiu Jie Ming had already appeared before him, likewise harnessing the power of a Secret Collection, with the formidable aura of the Supre Demon Venerable enveloping Xiu Jie Ming.

Xiu Jie Ming’s great palm struck out, transforming into an unparalleled destructive force, crushing down on Yang Huai as if the sky were collapsing.

Yang Huai felt the surrounding space compressing to the point of suffocation, making escape impossible. In desperation, he let out a shout and once again called upon the power of the Secret Collection, unleashing a myriad of Sword Aura to pierce Xiu Jie Ming’s Great Hand Seal.

Boom!

The Sword Aura shattered, and Yang Huai’s body was smashed into a bloody mist under the Great Hand Seal, leaving not even an intact corpse.

"Secret Collections also have varying strengths," Chen Guan couldn’t help but remark, turning to look at Hu Quan, only to see the apparition of a celestial crane appear on Hu Quan, turning him into a streak of light that shot into the sky, disappearing into the village in an instant.

"He got away." Chen Guan wanted to give chase but realized he couldn’t keep up. The Secret Collection Hu Quan used was a speed-type, and the speed it unleashed was simply too fast.

"He can’t escape," Xiu Jie Ming said calmly. "The legacy is in this village; he can’t leave it."

Chen Guan nodded, looking at Xiu Jie Ming and asked, "Do you also have those Secret Knowledge on you?"

"I do," Xiu Jie Ming thought for a mont and replied. "If I’m not mistaken, those Secret Knowledge originally belonged to the villagers of this Ancient Well Village."

"Why do you say that?" Chen Guan was slightly surprised.

If those Secret Knowledge were transford from villagers after death, it ans the villagers here were Third Awakening Cultivators.

Would Third Awakening Cultivators die from water shortage? It seems unlikely.

Even without a mount, a Third Awakening Cultivator could run eight hundred miles a day on foot, if not a thousand; it wouldn’t be difficult.

With such speed and endurance, wouldn’t it be easy to survive elsewhere?

Xiu Jie Ming explained, "These Secret Knowledge rely rely on the awareness linked to the Secret Collection, almost devoid of mory and thinking capability, surviving solely on a sliver of intent."

"At first, I thought this intent was due to their knowledge being extracted, which would contain deep resentnt. But upon reaching this Ancient Well Village, I could intensely sense that this intent and its accompanying resentnt beca even stronger."

"I see," Chen Guan felt that Xiu Jie Ming’s hypothesis made sense.

"Have you discovered the Netherworld Emperor’s legacy?" Chen Guan asked again.

"No clues yet, I just started searching when I heard the commotion here," Xiu Jie Ming shook his head.

"Then let’s deal with that Inspectorate person first, and then slowly search," Chen Guan said as he started to move in the direction Hu Quan fled.

Fu Tianji followed leisurely beside Chen Guan, like an Eight-ard Guardian Vajra.

Xiu Jie Ming glanced at Fu Tianji and walked up alongside Chen Guan, asking, "This person wasn’t found by Ji Nanhong, was he?"

"No," Chen Guan replied truthfully.

"Could you introduce us?" Xiu Jie Ming was intrigued by Fu Tianji’s combat ability and wanted to et such a strong person, perhaps find a chance to spar.

However, since Fu Tianji was associated with Chen Guan, he wanted Chen Guan’s permission first to show he had no ulterior motives.

"Even eting him is useless. His consciousness has issues, similar to these Secret Knowledge; he survives on a singular intent, but he has a body, whereas they have lost theirs," Chen Guan explained.

"Is that so? Who could turn such a strong person into this state?" Xiu Jie Ming wondered, examining Fu Tianji.

He had noticed sothing unusual about Fu Tianji earlier, only assuming he was eccentric, and didn’t expect such a situation.
