The True Tower

Chu Zhiyuan and Chu Honglin both wore grave, gloomy expressions, their hearts heavy.

Of the two who had left earlier, one was a Venerable, and the other had reached the peak of the Intent Transformation Realm.

Chu Honglin had a bad feeling.

What was good never came true, while what was bad always did. The more one feared something, the more likely it was to arrive.

That Venerable was very likely a body possessed by the Great Heavenly Demon, which meant Chu Zhiyuan's words had come true.

The worst-case scenario had appeared.

As they sped along, he looked at Chu Zhiyuan. "Which one is the Great Heavenly Demon?"

Chu Zhiyuan sighed. "That Venerable."

"..." Chu Honglin immediately looked frustrated, his expression growing even darker.

That meant he was at least an Elder.

Just because he had summoned twelve Venerables in the blink of an eye did not mean Nascent Soul Stage experts were cheap as cabbages.

In truth, it was precisely the opposite.

Nascent Soul Stage experts were difficult to cultivate. Even in the most elite sects, those at the Nascent Soul Stage were pillars of support.

They were Elders even in first-rate sects, while second-rate sects might not possess a single Nascent Soul Stage expert.

A sect like the Feiyun Sect was not some top-tier great sect. A Venerable within the sect was at least an Elder.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If he is a Venerable, then he has been in the Feiyun Sect for quite some time."

It could generally only possess Qi Transformation Stage experts, or even experts who had yet to enter any realm.

Possession would also damage the host's foundation and aptitude.
