Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 561 - 288, Donghuang Twin Wall, the most beautiful woman in the world
"It seems that I am late this time..."
Standing in front of Wu Ziting, a beautiful middle-aged woman scanned the surroundings with her Divine Sense. After seeing no trace of Xu Xing, she shook her head and sighed.
A Nascent Soul Daoist Lord facing an ambush by a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch would be no match, even if they fought one-on-one. There’s no need to say more about the outcome.
Although Xu Xing’s strength was regarded by the outside world as the number one individual below the Nascent Soul Stage, Three Treasures Sword Venerate knew how vast the gap between major Realms truly was.
"However, Fellow Daoist Chi, for you to take action on Our Sect’s territory without prior notification is somewhat improper."
Three Treasures Sword Venerate withdrew her Divine Sense, looked at Chi Yuan who was offering a salute, and questioned him.
In the past, Flying Feather Immortal Palace could rank among the top three of the Ten Great Upper Sects. But now, Flying Feather Immortal Palace’s power had waned, and it was a notch below Cloud Sword Sect.
Currently, Cloud Sword Sect had three Sword Venerates, meaning three Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs were present in the world, while Flying Feather Immortal Palace only had two.
Moreover, Cloud Sword Sect’s Immortal Body, Sui Nansheng, was also on the verge of reaching the Sword Venerate Realm.
Both now and in the future, Flying Feather Immortal Palace could not compare to Cloud Sword Sect in terms of top-tier combat strength; the disparity was immense.
This was also why Three Treasures Sword Venerate dared to question Chi Yuan.
"Fellow Daoist Sanbao, please don’t be upset..."
Chi Yuan smiled faintly and casually argued, "This old man has resided by the Wangchuan Sea Coast for a long time, with its pungent, damp sea breeze. I just felt like taking a walk in the central region and forgot to notify Cloud Sword Sect in advance..."
"As for encountering Xu Xing, it was purely a coincidence. After all, this place is quite a famous scenic spot in East Huangzhou."
As he spoke, he retracted his Black and White Chessboard Dharma Image, maintaining an air of serene composure.
"Fellow Daoist Chi certainly has refined tastes for leisure." Three Treasures Sword Venerate looked deeply at Chi Yuan, feeling somewhat helpless. She couldn’t possibly declare war on Chi Yuan, an Ancestor of a Higher Teaching, merely over Xu Xing.
"Xu Xing is dead..."
"This old man has heard that this renegade disciple once signed a Treaty of Alliance with your esteemed sect. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Sanbao... could see to its annulment."
Chi Yuan’s eyes flickered a few times as he spoke with a smile.
He had initially thought Three Treasures Sword Venerate had witnessed Xu Xing’s Escaping Light as he fled. He hadn’t expected her not to have seen it, instead mistakenly believing he had already killed Xu Xing.
Since this was the case, he was more than happy to go along with it and deceive Three Treasures Sword Venerate into thinking Xu Xing was dead.
As long as Cloud Sword Sect annulled the Treaty of Alliance.
Then, when the severely injured and fleeing Xu Xing heard of this, he would definitely not seek refuge with Cloud Sword Sect...
At that point, he should have another chance to find Xu Xing and eliminate him in one fell swoop.
"The Treaty of Alliance..."
Hearing this, Three Treasures Sword Venerate frowned slightly.
Cloud Sword Sect had formed an alliance with Butian Sect not because Butian Sect was the so-called Orthodox lineage of Flying Feather Immortal Palace, but because they valued Xu Xing’s talent.
Now that Xu Xing was dead, for Cloud Sword Sect to continue investing in Butian Sect would be a thankless endeavor...
"Fellow Daoist Chi..."
"The affairs between our two sects are not for you or me to meddle in; they are handled by the Sect Master. Both you and I are now individuals who stand apart from worldly matters..."
Three Treasures Sword Venerate pondered for a moment before replying.
Destroying the Treaty of Alliance, regardless of the reason, would inevitably stir up trouble.
She was an Ancestor, not the Sect Master of Cloud Sword Sect. Although she had the authority to decide on such political matters, she preferred to avoid involvement if possible to prevent any suspicion or complications.
Furthermore, having been in seclusion in the Cave for a long time, she was not well-versed in the shifting dynamics of the outside world.
If she were to handle sect affairs rashly, it was highly probable that she would be outmaneuvered by Chi Yuan.
"Very well."
"This old man shall return to my sect immediately and request Our Sect’s Sect Master to visit your esteemed sect to discuss this matter."
Chi Yuan smiled and said composedly.
With that, he did not linger. With a flick of his sleeve robe, he transformed into an Escaping Light and sped off towards the southeast.
"Grandmaster..."
"Is Master Xu truly dead?"
After Chi Yuan had departed, Wu Ziting, standing behind Three Treasures Sword Venerate, finally couldn’t resist asking.
"I am not certain."
"But he should be dead."
Three Treasures Sword Venerate shook her head and gazed down from the clouds at Tianyi Gorge below. "Chi Yuan’s aura has diminished significantly compared to before. It’s evident he struck with utmost ruthlessness this time..."
If a long-renowned Nascent Soul Saint Monarch, employing techniques that consumed his Dao cultivation, failed to kill a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord, it would become a laughingstock in the world.
This was also why she was convinced Xu Xing was dead.
"Dead?"
"Yes, no one can escape the pursuit of a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch..." Wu Ziting said, her expression mournful. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
She touched the Storage Bag at her waist and sighed.
...
...
「Half a day later.」
「Tens of thousands of miles away from Tianyi Gorge.」
The blood-colored Escaping Light that Xu Xing had transformed into paused briefly in the air. He scouted the surroundings, then randomly found a cave and entered it.
"With my current strength, confronting Chi Yuan is still beyond me, but escaping from his grasp once... that is more than achievable."
Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Xu Xing took out more than twenty Spirit Pearls from his Storage Bag and placed them beside him. He then began to fully absorb the Spiritual Energy within them. He used this Spiritual Energy to re-solidify the [Immortal Fate] on the Bronze Ancient Mirror.
After five half-days, he had shed his previous battered and weakened state. His Dao Body’s vitality and blood essence surged powerfully once more, appearing little different from his prior peak condition.
Except for the [Banished Immortal] Immortal Fate, which is condensed from Innate Immortal Qi, all other Immortal Fates have recovered...
Xu Xing opened his eyes, glanced at the information on the panel, and thought to himself.
This battle with Chi Yuan unfolded much like the Fate Deduction predicted.
However, there were still some discrepancies.
In the final confrontation, the two black and white Daoist figures manifested by Chi Yuan’s Divine Power shattered the protective barrier formed by my Innate Immortal Qi three times directly.
