Feeling the fluctuations in space, Wuchenzi's eyes snapped open. He saw a familiar figure appear several dozen yards in front of him.
Wuchenzi's heart jolted.
How had this Body Cultivator managed to cross the boundless Rotting Corpse Flower Sea alone? Just how had he done it?
If he had been flying normally, there was no way he could have caught up so quickly.
Unless...
A suspicion surfaced in Wuchenzi's mind.
The Body Cultivator's physical body was astonishingly powerful, and he had crossed the Rotting Corpse Flower Sea by teleporting repeatedly along the way. That would have kept him from being attacked by the Human-Faced Bees.
"Fellow Daoist Wuchenzi, hand over the Nine Baleful Pearl. For the sake of our shared ties as pilgrims of the Great Compassion Temple, I can let bygones be bygones..." Chen Changming fixed his gaze on Wuchenzi and spoke calmly.
At the same time, he took out the Buddha Bone and quickly fused it with his body.
Seeing Chen Changming fuse with the Buddha Bone again, Wuchenzi tensed as if facing a formidable enemy. With a thought, he sent three Thunder-Glitter Spirit Falcons into the air, where they formed a triangular formation around him.
Lightning flashed, weaving into a net in an instant.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, hadn't we agreed beforehand? Whoever obtained the Nine Baleful Pearl would compensate the others with one hundred million Spirit Stones."
Wuchenzi quickly recovered his magical power. At the same time, he took out a Storage Ring and smiled warmly at Chen Changming.
If it could be avoided, he didn't want to fall out with Chen Changming and fight.
After fusing with the Buddha Bone, his opponent's strength was too terrifying. Wuchenzi feared he would be unable to defeat him.
"Sorry, I promised someone I'd get the Nine Baleful Pearl back."
