"Pfft! Damn you, Nangong Xiao! If I don't kill you, you treacherous disciple, I, Xin Youjue, swear I'm not human!"
His powerful spiritual sense swept through the air, only to find that the other party had already fled without a trace. Unable to catch sight of him again, Nangong Xiao's master, Xin Youjue, howled in fury and spat out a mouthful of blood.
That Mysterious Immortal Demon Core had been the greatest treasure he needed for a successful breakthrough. Its sudden loss meant losing his greatest support. Even with the Nine Nether Scepter, breaking through within a day had become impossible.
"The patriarch's revival is imminent. Without the Mysterious Immortal Demon Core, I'll have to prepare the materials needed for a breakthrough all over again. I'll return to the sect first—and kill that treacherous disciple while I'm at it!"

Xin Youjue turned into a streak of light and raced wildly toward the ** Sect.

Within the snow-covered forest, Nie Yun's Phoenix Wings flickered. As he sped forward, he continued making his deductions.
