Myriad Flowers Elder's pursuit (Part two)
"Ding! There are 0 seconds left until Myriad Flowers Elder arrives at the Inner Sect. The pursuit has officially begun. Please be aware."
The Mechanical System Prompt, some of them sharp, sound like alarms, giving people a strong sense of crisis.
Although Myriad Flowers Elder hasn't caught up yet, the system notification tells Zhuge Xiang that Myriad Flowers Elder must have already arrived at the Sect Headquarters. Given his speed, if he knows the direction Zhuge Xiang left in, he should be able to catch up quickly.
Carrying Su Huayu, Zhuge Xiang flapped his phoenix wings, turned an angle, and flew in another direction. Facing the pursuit of a Void Returning Stage expert, Zhuge Xiang dared not fly in a straight line. Along the way, Zhuge Xiang had already changed direction several times.
Boom...
Void Realm Great Expert flying at full speed—how terrifying must that speed be? Like swift Lightning, streaking through the air, the sound of flesh tearing through the air is like rolling Thunderclap. The aura of Void Returning Stage expert emanates from him, truly causing the Heaven and Earth to change color, and even gods and demons to retreat.
At this moment, Yanling Commandery truly became lively. The intervention of Void Returning Stage expert was no small matter. What defines Medium Sect? One hundred Deity Transformation stage experts, and more importantly, a Void Returning Stage expert in charge. Only such Sect can be considered Medium Sect.
Even Large Sect like the Asura Sect, which stands at the top of the Great Qin Empire, has only a little over a hundred Void Realm Great Expert, each of whom is a true pillar of the Asura Sect.
What major event has occurred that has actually prompted a top-tier expert in the Void Returning Stage to personally take action? Myriad Flowers Elder streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of chaos in his wake. Of course, those disturbed were not actually chickens or dogs, but rather powerful Cultivator.
"Zhuge Xiang..." Among the Asura Sect Inner Sect, Zhang Kuang and others who had close ties with Zhuge Xiang all wore expressions of worry. Void Returning Stage expert was hunting him down? Could Zhuge Xiang escape?
"..." Even Lu Yuling, with her clear and beautiful eyes filled with deep worry, was the reincarnation of Ice Maiden's Three Souls Reincarnation. Although her Memory were incomplete, if anyone present had the deepest understanding of the Void Returning Stage, it would undoubtedly be her.
The Void Returning Stage is the pinnacle of the Cultivation World. Although Lu Yuling had always had faith in Zhuge Xiang, no matter how strong Deity Transformation stage cultivator was, she felt that Zhuge Xiang still had a glimmer of hope. But the Void Returning Stage? In Lu Yuling's view, even that glimmer of hope for Zhuge Xiang was gone.
How fast Void Realm Great Expert Movement Speed? It's simply indescribable. To say they can travel a hundred miles in an instant would not be an exaggeration. After chasing for a while, the overwhelming Divine Sense failed to find Zhuge Xiang's figure. Myriad Flowers Elder frowned slightly.
"You haven't even reached the Nascent Deity Transformation stage, yet you think you can escape my pursuit?" Although she hadn't caught up with Zhuge Xiang, Myriad Flowers Elder didn't believe he could escape. With a flick of her finger, hundreds of finger-sized life forms instantly fell from the Void. Most of these life forms were female, all dressed in colorful petal-covered clothes, exuding Immortal Spiritual Energy. However, they were very small, with the largest being no bigger than a palm.
The Three Realms and Six Paths are filled with countless gods, ghosts, spirits, and monsters. These finger-sized life forms are none other than Flower Fairies, born from the essence of flowers in the Heaven and Earth. Although they have no combat power, they are perfectly suited for reconnaissance.
"We have come to pay our respects, Your Excellency," these Flower Fairies, who had been forcibly taken by Myriad Flowers Elder, showed little panic on their faces and bowed to Myriad Flowers Elder in unison.
"You all need to communicate with all the flowers and plants within a radius of three thousand miles and help me find a person," Myriad Flowers Elder said directly without any preamble, stating his request.
The Void Returning Stage is called "Great Power" because it allows one to wield great Divine Ability, such as moving mountains and filling seas, reversing yin and yang, chasing stars and the moon, and commanding gods and demons...
Within a radius of three thousand miles, all the flowers and plants have become the eyes and ears of the Myriad Flowers Elder. Can Zhuge Xiang escape them?
As expected, within a few dozen breaths, Zhuge Xiang sensed a terrifying aura behind him; Myriad Flowers Elder had caught up.
A dazzling light seemed to pierce the night sky, exuding an aura of world-destroying power. Before the person even arrived, the Myriad Flowers Elder, whose Divine Sense had locked onto Zhuge Xiang, launched an attack.
"Block Prediction!" Sensing the attack locked on him from behind, Zhuge Xiang was horrified. He swung his Azure Nether Blade in a backhand motion, aiming it at the dazzling light.
Can Forbidden Technique that can Block Prediction, capable of withstanding any single-target attack, withstand the attack of Myriad Flowers Elder?
Bang!
A dazzling light shone upon Zhuge Xiang's Azure Nether Blade. The terrifying attack was so powerful that it would have reduced even a mountain to dust. Yet, this terrifying attack was blocked by Zhuge Xiang's Azure Nether Blade, truly and completely blocked.
"Oh? Forbidden Technique? With this level of strength, you can actually access Forbidden Technique?" Seeing that Zhuge Xiang had blocked his attack, Myriad Flowers Elder raised an eyebrow slightly. In just a moment, Myriad Flowers Elder had already stood in front of Zhuge Xiang, blocking his path.
"Hua Yu, come to me," Myriad Flowers Elder said softly, her eyes fixed on Su Huayu, without rushing to deal with Zhuge Xiang again.
However, Su Huayu's Scarlet eyes were filled with hatred towards her so-called biological father, her appearance resembling that of a small female leopard poised to pounce.
"It seems this brat has bewitched you with his sorcery," Su Huayu's eyes had already given Myriad Flowers Elder the answer. Only then did his gaze fall on Zhuge Xiang, his eyes revealing an undisguised, calm killing intent.
"Zhuge Xiang, I've heard of you. You have considerable talent, and I intended to take you under my wing, but you refused. I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against you, but you interfered in my family affairs and even killed Bai Wuming."
As he spoke, Myriad Flowers Elder's voice gradually turned cold. His eyes were filled with a sharp light as he stared at Zhuge Xiang. With just one look, Zhuge Xiang was struck as if by lightning, his face turned pale, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Terrifying! A Void Returning Stage expert is truly terrifying. Just his aura and gaze were enough to overwhelm Zhuge Xiang. Such power is definitely not something Deity Transformation stage Cultivator could achieve.
Reaching out to shield Su Huayu behind him, Zhuge Xiang's eyes were like those of a caged tiger, knowing it was doomed but still refusing to yield. The tiger died, its bones standing, unyielding even in death.
"Myriad Flowers Elder? May I ask a question? You came to see Su Huayu, it can't be just to recognize her, what exactly are your intentions?"
Zhuge Xiang spoke, and bloodstains were still visible in his mouth. His eyes were fixed on the Myriad Flowers Elder in front of him. Even with the blessing of the Night Emblem, Zhuge Xiang activated his Qi Energy Bodyguard Skill to resist the terrifying pressure brought by the Myriad Flowers Elder' aura.
"A mere Qi Refining Stage Cultivator is not qualified to speak to me," Myriad Flowers Elder said without answering Zhuge Xiang's words. He gently raised his hand, and the gentle movement made the entire Heaven and Earth seem to move with him. With his Void Returning Stage cultivation, crushing Zhuge Xiang was not much more difficult than crushing an ant.
"No, I'll go with you, just let him go, I'll go with you..."
Just now, Zhuge Xiang was able to withstand Myriad Flowers Elder's attack by relying on Forbidden Technique. Now, seeing that Myriad Flowers Elder was about to make a move, Su Huayu hurriedly spoke up and called out to Myriad Flowers Elder. Su Huayu bypassed Zhuge Xiang, opened her arms, and instead tightly protected Zhuge Xiang behind her.
Smack
Before Su Huayu could finish speaking, her expression froze, and then her body went limp and she fainted. Zhuge Xiang, behind Su Huayu, sheathed his palm strike.
"No matter what, I will not hand Su Huayu over to you. If you have the ability, come and take her back yourself." Zhuge Xiang summoned the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger and placed Su Huayu on its back.
The Phoenix Winged Black Tiger looked at Myriad Flowers Elder Wanhua with fear in its eyes. Void Realm Great Expert, a wild beast's instinct for danger is far more acute than that of a human.
"Oh? Interesting brat, commendable courage, but you don't know your place," Myriad Flowers Elder said with a hint of amusement, not angry at Zhuge Xiang's provocation.
In the eyes of Myriad Flowers Elder, Zhuge Xiang was like a child challenging an adult—it was utterly ridiculous.
With Forbidden Technique at his disposal, perhaps if Zhuge Xiang reached the peak of the Deity Transformation stage, Myriad Flowers Elder would treat him differently and take him more seriously. But Tenth Layer of Return to Simplicity Realm? Not even reaching the Deity Transformation stage? This can only be described as courting death.
"As a reward for daring to challenge me, I will show you what the power of the Void Returning Stage is," Myriad Flowers Elder said, raising his hand and gently pressing his palm down.
Suddenly, the Heaven and Earth turned dark. The night, which had previously been dotted with Moonlight, was now pitch black.
Sensing something, Zhuge Xiang looked up and his expression changed in horror. Above him, an enormous mountain peak crashed down. Compared to Zhuge Xiang, this mountain peak was like an ant being crushed by a city. This was not a small hill, but a real mountain.
Moving mountains and filling seas—a legendary supernatural Divine Ability possessed by Void Returning Stage experts—was something Zhuge Xiang had actually witnessed firsthand. With a mere wave of his hand, he was able to summon such an enormous mountain from an unknown distance.
"Oh no!" Zhuge Xiang's face turned pale as he watched the enormous mountain crash down. The area covered by this mountain was definitely more than several dozen miles in radius, and he had no chance of escaping.
"What? Wanhua went after Zhuge Xiang?" At the same time, at the Purgatory Peak of the Asura Headquarters, the Purgatory Elder's expression changed drastically. In front of him was a light screen, inside which was Luo Wuxue.
When Myriad Flowers Elder chased after Zhuge Xiang, Luo Wuxue knew the seriousness of the situation and that only Purgatory Elder could save Zhuge Xiang. Seeing how much Purgatory Elder appreciated Zhuge Xiang, he should be able to help.
"Alright, I'll be right there." Upon hearing the news, Purgatory Elder acted swiftly, rushing out of the Asura Headquarters without stopping.
"Is there enough time? Zhuge Xiang, whether you survive depends on how long you can escape Myriad Flowers Elder's pursuit and whether you can hold out until Purgatory Elder arrives." Purgatory Elder has set off, but he is still far away on the Floating Mountain at the Asura Sect Headquarters. Will he make it in time? Luo Wuxue himself is not confident. (To be continued...)
