Taking Control of Origin-Opening Prefecture

At the summit of Sky Pagoda Mountain stood that so-called immortal shrine, one of the most dilapidated in all the Northern Continent.

There were neither Dharma artifacts to suppress the place nor any effort spent arranging heavenly treasures to make it shine brilliantly.

At a glance, it gave off nothing but an air of haste and disarray.

It did fit what Yun Miao had said. Upon hearing of Ling Su's death, this person had made no attempt to conceal his greedy impatience to seize Sky Pagoda Mountain.

Youyao True Person took light steps toward the high cliff behind the immortal shrine.

Her gaze fell upon the seated figure by the cliff's edge, and she easily saw through the method he had used to conceal his appearance.

The young man's face was handsome and tranquil, giving him the air of drifting clouds and gentle winds, one who did not contend with the mortal world.

But just like the disguise upon his face, Youyao found that impression difficult to believe. Judging from what he had done, this was clearly a man of immense ambition.

Although Grand Emperor of Void Alchemy had revealed only the aura of someone newly entered into the third rank, compared with Hao Ming True Person, if something had truly happened to Shu Yu, Youyao was more inclined to believe the cause lay here.

She quietly pressed her lips together and did not probe him with words as she had before.

Her sleeve rolled slightly, and clear light flashed from her pale fingertips before transforming into countless fine threads in the air, directly enveloping Shen Yi's entire figure.

It was a cage of clear light. Every streak of light slowly contracted; should one touch flesh, the result would be a body torn to pieces.

"Come out and see me."
