“Besides being able to hear and sense my presence, Third Heaven Palace’s mbers can hurt . I took a blow with my arm to verify it for myself.” Mu Yu stated.

“But y-”

“Previously, Ultimate Concealnt Bloody Guardian shielded from soul energy, but sothing must’ve malfunctioned because it no longer does,” Mu Yu theorised, sullen over ruining what Ku Mu gave his life for.

“How did you detect him following us?”

“I don’t know; I suddenly just picked up on Gu Chaofeng’s presence when he was a certain distance from us.”

Lie Shang inspected the damage to the desert and scanned the surrounding area. “Let’s get moving. His explosion is comparable to a loud signal.”

“Okay.”

The two descended on a mountain after a two hour trip out of the desert.

“You going to search for the ninth immortal on your own?” Lie Shang inquired.

“Yes. We can’t expect the fiends to bodyguard a human.”

“Can’t we put Xiang Nan first?”

“If I’m not wrong, it was Reverend Nilei who pointed out to where the ninth immortal is. I might be able to also find Reverend Nilei if we’re lucky.”

“… How do you plan to protect the immortal once you find them?”

“I’ll cast a concealnt formation on them to hide their presence even from any search formations because…”

“You know the ninth immortal?”

“Yeah.”

“They’re not strong enough to protect themselves yet?”

“No. I’m no match for Bai Jie, let alone him. Where is Xiang Nan?”

“Archfiend Hai Dongqing’s heart is currently lurking near Ghost Gate.”

“What would Xiang Nan be doing there?”

“We don’t know if he’s affiliated with them yet. I’ll rush to him. Rendezvous with once you’ve assured the immortal’s safety.” Lie Shang summoned a thumb-sized golden fla, containing it inside spiritual energy. “This is my fla. Once you’re nearby, inject your spiritual energy into it, and I’ll be able to pinpoint your location. If you’re within a certain distance, it’ll automatically fly to .”

Mu Yu stowed away the fla burning with hostility and left.

Cultivators headed to Gu Chaofeng’s self-destruction site upon feeling the tremors and seeing the flash of light. There was nothing really to be found there, though, unsurprisingly.

“Oi, there’s a white fla here.”

“Elental demons?”

“Maybe?”

“They’re this strong now?”

“What do we do if they attack Clearwater City?”

“Let’s leave Clearwater City. There’s no way we could beat them if Eastern Desert City’s cultivators couldn’t.”

“Third Heaven Palace needs to work faster and select the nine leaders already.”

“Oi, oi, why did the white fla suddenly vanish?”

“Why are you asking ?”

“Another attack?”

“Let’s get out of here!”

Jin Xiyun, who watched the cultivators hurtle, fiddled with the white fla she scooped up. Gu Chaofeng left behind a shred of soul energy in the white fla when he self-destructed without Lie Shang’s knowledge. When Jin Xiyun drew Gu Chaofeng’s energy out, she received Gu Chaofeng’s dying ssage.

“Mu Yu, huh? This is troubleso now that they know our appearance.” Eyes on the hurtling cultivators, Jin Xiyun muttered, “Good thing Gu Chaofeng self-destructed. Humans are so pathetic now. Well, it works in our favour. Let’s reinforce your faith in Third Heaven Palace so more, shall we?”

Jin Xiyun snapped her fingers, transporting the white fla beside a group of cultivators and imploding it to torch them.

“The more you fear elental demons, the more you will rely on us.”
