Gao Xian spent all day plotting against others; naturally, he guarded against being plotted against in return.
Before entering the Divine Firmament Jade Palace, he had sought advice from Ninth Master and asked about Red Sun Venerable.
Within the South Sea, Red Sun Venerable was the only one who posed an immense threat to him.
The Nine Provinces Cauldron had personally told him that Red Sun was occupied. From afar, he had spied on Purple Dragon and Red Lotus, and heard Red Lotus say that Red Sun was cultivating in seclusion within Equal Heaven.
Red Lotus might have lied, but Ninth Master should have had no reason to deceive him.
Yet Red Sun had suddenly appeared!
Gao Xian was certain of it. The blazing sun wheel that had erupted like a blazing sun was no secret art, much less some Divine Artifact. It was peerless power transformed from the pure yang divine consciousness of an eighth-rank Venerable.
Red Sun Venerable should only have sent an avatar, yet even so, the power manifested by that brilliant crimson sun wheel far surpassed his own.
"It's a trap prepared specifically for me!" Gao Xian did not believe in coincidences. He believed this had to be Red Sun Venerable's scheme.
A lofty eighth-rank Venerable had actually plotted against a junior like him, even lurking behind the scenes so sneakily. That was truly rather shameless!
Gao Xian cursed inwardly, yet could not think of any good way to break the deadlock.
Red Sun Venerable completely crushed him on every level. This was an enormous gap in strength and realm; no scheme or strategy could bridge it.
Right now, he only wanted to immediately lock onto his avatar and return to the Nine Provinces. But there was one problem: what about Shui Mingxia?
