Just as everyone was puzzled, Chen Xie, who was standing by the window of the All-Knowing Tower, looking into the distance, took out the Sound Transmission Stone.
"Sect Leader, Elder Yun won without any surprises."
Wen Ping responded, "Winning was to be expected. If after ten years in the Fifth World he still couldnât defeat Ji Daoshi, then those ten years would have been a complete waste. Elder Chen, I guess you have more to say than just this, right?"
Chen Xie replied solemnly, "Sect Leader, youâre right, I have one more thing to say."
"Speak!"
"I received news from my subordinates that the Sect Leader of the Extreme Force Sect also went to watch the excitement. If he sees that Ji Daoshi is dead, he might not be able to resist taking action against Elder Yun. No matter what, heâs still an Earth Unrestricted Expert, Elder Yun might..."
Wen Ping smiled, "So what if heâs Earth Unrestricted? Elder Yun is not someone without a brain; he knows what to do. Just make sure your people keep an eye out to prevent any accidents."
By saying this, Wen Ping was expressing trust in Yun Liaoâs intelligence.
He also intended to give Yun Liao a training opportunity.
People.
They must experience more to grow stronger internally.
"Sect Leader, I understand." Chen Xie severed the connection with the Sound Transmission Stone, then promptly notified Mu Qinghuan through it.
With Ye Wuhuan present, if anything unexpected happened, Elder Yun would have a helping hand.
Regarding other matters, Chen Xie did nothing else.
He understood his Sect Leaderâs intentions.
...
In the west of Jianshui City.
Amidst a mess of ruins, Yun Liao put away the magic wand, intending to leave quietly but was stopped by an Earth Unrestricted Expert who suddenly descended from the sky.
Fortunately, the newcomer had a friendly demeanor and did not seem like an enemy, so Yun Liao did not lash out and continued to turn around and walk away.
The newcomer hurriedly called out!
"Young man, I am Chen Jieshi!"
Upon hearing the name, Yun Liao had no intention of stopping.
Obviously, it wasnât that Chen Jieshi wasnât renowned or that Yun Liao didnât know him, but that Yun Liao had no desire to engage.
The power Chen Jieshi led was a strong influence under the Red Leaf Sect, comparable to Longmen and Zuishui.
Chen Jieshi was even a standout among the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm experts.
In the entire Red Domain, those who didnât know Chen Jieshi were few.
After all, having lived for two or three hundred years, he had been through his share of affairs.
Seeing Yun Liao had no intention of engaging, Chen Jieshi was not annoyed, but instead, he amiably followed, asking, "Young man, have you pledged allegiance anywhere?"
Yun Liao shook his head, "A solitary man."
Upon hearing these four words, Chen Jieshi was delighted and quickly extended an olive branch without considering his status.
"How about becoming my disciple? If you wish to learn, I can teach you all my skills without reservation!"
An Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm expert offering such words, many cultivators would be ecstatic.
After all, there werenât many in the Upper Realm of the Red Domain.
Middle Realm already bore the weight of half the Red Domain!
While the onlookers eagerly awaited Yun Liaoâs response, Yun Liao merely replied calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, elder, but Iâm not interested."
These words left everyone shocked.
Who would have thought that such humility from Chen Jieshi would be met with such a response?
Chen Jieshiâs expression turned bleak, and his eyes flashed with an unmistakable anger.
So what if he could kill Ji Daoshi?
A dead genius is no genius at all!
Just as Chen Jieshiâs face showed anger, a roar erupted from the sky, originating from an elderly man.
"Young man, prepare for death!"
The Sect Leader of the Extreme Force SectâRen Ji, after learning that Ji Daoshi was dead, rushed toward Yun Liao without a second thought!
Though the Sect Leader of Extreme Force Sect was only of the Lower Realm, he was still someone many looked up to, and remained an unchallengeable force within the Mountain Suppression Realm.
Bangâ
The four meridian gates opened simultaneously, murderous intent soaring.
Seeing this, Chen Jieshi stood with arms folded and said, "Your chance of survival is right before you, I give you this last opportunityâ"
Before he could finish, Yun Liao had already vanished from where he stood.
Chen Jieshiâs assured and proud expression froze instantly, and he clenched his fists tightly as he shot off into the sky, leaving the west of the city.
Only a disgruntled sentence was left behind.
"Utterly oblivious!"
As for Yun Liao, the moment he saw someone aiming to kill him, he knew they were linked to Ji Daoshi and immediately left via Sword Control.
His spiritual power, though not at the Second Stage, was already at the end of the First Stage, sufficient to fly a certain distance by sword.
This was one of the reasons he dared to kill Ji Daoshi in Jianshui City.
However, because his spiritual power wasnât in the Second Stage, Sword Flight wouldnât last long and couldnât bring him back to the Immortal Sect. Faced with an Earth Unrestricted Expertâs pursuit, if he couldnât escape, death was the inevitable outcome.
Thus, Yun Liaoâs first goal was to leave Jianshui City!
Ren Ji from the Extreme Force Sect pursued relentlessly. After several hundred breaths, the two flew out of Jianshui City, one after the other.
For the moment, Ren Ji couldnât catch up to Yun Liao.
But Ren Ji was not about to give up.
He swore to kill Yun Liao!
Ji Daoshi was the hope for rejuvenation for the Extreme Force Sect and a top contender in the current Red Domain. But now, he was dead at someoneâs hands.
His hope shattered.
Therefore, he would never let the person who shattered his hope live!
After pursuing several hundred miles, Ren Jiâs speed remained undiminished, but Yun Liaoâs Sword Flight started to slow down.
The reason was still due to spiritual power.
Not having entered the Second Stage, Yun Liaoâs mind felt like it was about to explode from overuse of spiritual power.
"Canât fly anymore, can you?"
Seeing this, Ren Ji laughed uncontrollably.
He knew this would happen!
Having temporarily flown using other means, he certainly couldnât sustain it for long.
Yun Liao turned to glance at Ren Ji, whose distance was closing in, expressionless, then suddenly let himself fall toward the ground.
The place he fell was right into the Azure Abyss Pool!
Shush!
Splash!
Yun Liao plummeted straight into the water.
"Into the water?" Ren Ji, unsure what Yun Liao was doing, nevertheless charged into the Azure Abyss Pool without hesitation.
He released his perception immediately, locking onto Yun Liaoâs position.
Ye Wuhuan, who arrived belatedly, didnât hesitate and plunged into the Azure Abyss Pool as well, chasing toward Ren Ji.
He didnât know why the Tower Master insisted on him following the person who killed Ji Daoshi.
But the Tower Master solemnly instructed through the Sound Transmission Stone that if his life was in danger, he must protect him with all his might!
As Ye Wuhuan prepared to use the Vein Technique to delay Ren Ji, Ren Jiâs four meridian gates suddenly trembled underwater.
A layer of ripples radiated outward!
And the ripples grew larger and wider.
Wherever they passed, nothing survived!
The ripples rapidly approached Yun Liao, violently slamming into his back, immediately stirring a mist of blood.
Ye Wuhuan was shocked!
Terrible!
Just as he was about to speed up, Ren Ji suddenly stopped after pursuing further.
The mysterious man who killed Ji Daoshi had vanished, leaving only a cloud of crimson blood mist.
"Impossible!"
Ren Ji could not believe what he witnessed.
For his perception had been locked onto the opponent, and under such a lock, even ordinary Earth Unrestricted experts couldnât escape.
The other was just a youngster with Mountain Suppression Realm power; how had his aura suddenly vanished, escaping his perception lock?
