“That damned old thing, does he still have a backup plan?”
Everyone from Taiyue Sacred Ground remained silent.
“Let’s call for help from Qianyuan Sacred Ground! If we strike again, I’m afraid that our Sacred Ground will be destroyed. Too many elites have already died in the fight, and so many more died along the way of the chase.”
“After this, our Sacred Ground might not even exist anymore!”
On the opposite side, the people of Chingmu Sacred Ground were worried too.
They thought that they could win but instead, they had lost many of their elite disciples.
In a cave of Qingmu Sacred Ground.
Two old men sat opposite each other.
“I’m afraid that it’s not that easy to unify Zhongzhou this time and we won’t have a chance to enjoy the results.”
“It was just a small setback and you’re already so discouraged?”
“We lost so many elites during a small clash. What if we have to fight some other Sacred Grounds in the future? I don’t know whether it is a wise decision to join the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.”
“If we don’t, do you think we have a chance to survive? Look at Taiyue Sacred Ground as an example. There are too many people of Qianyuan Sacred Ground in our sacred ground.”
Soon, Taiyue Sacred Ground and Chingmu Sacred Ground reported their casualties to Qianyuan Sacred Ground.
At the same time, they sent people to scout.
In the dense forest, the smell of blood drifted further and further out.
After Li Mu and the others left, wild beasts started appearing in the distance.
Soon, the sound of beasts stealing food and fighting each other in the dense forest rang out all over the forest.
The next morning, the road through the dense forest was covered with the remains left by the hungry beasts. Parts of bodies were missing, and the remains of the four unicorns were completely gone.
In the air, the smell of blood filled the whole forest.
The warrior guards of a caravan passing by all gasped in surprise when they saw the mess in the forest and smelled the blood.
“The smell of the battlefield.”
“There must have been a big fight here. Tell the master to leave quickly.”
All the people remained silent and left quickly.
After the caravan left, another team of people soon appeared in the forest. Some of them stood next to the fire pit and some of them appeared in where the carriage was parked.
Most of the things in the carriage were taken away and there were only woods left.
“It seems that our brothers-in-training all died here last night.”
“Check whoever entered the forest last night,” said one of the brothers-in-training.
“What’s that for? Such experts are so powerful and they can come and go without leaving any traces. How can we check? People in the surrounding areas probably didn’t even see him.”
Another man shook his head.
“So what? We still need to check. At least try our best.”
Two hundred miles away, on a mountain peak.
Gongsun Qiuyue and Gongsun Yang paid respects to a new grave.
The old man’s remains were snatched back from the beast by Zhou Hua.
Then they eliminated the traces and went to the mountain with the siblings to bury the old man.
“Well, it’s almost time, we should go now!” Chu Qing frowned slightly and said.
With two burdens like Gongsun Qiuyue and Gongsun Yang, they couldn’t walk very fast at all.
Gongsun Qiuyue was injured, and Gongsun Yang was only on the ninth level of Acquired Realm.
They were still in the territory of Taiyuan Sacred Ground. This meant that many experts must be already on the way to chase them.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing rolled his eyes towards Tingting.
Li Mu wanted to leave the siblings behind, but Tingting insisted on bringing them along
Tingting kept silent as she didn’t know whether she was right or wrong. She just felt sorry for the siblings.
In the secret room of Baishan City.
Qiu Baihui began to run the methods once again.
She hadn’t fully recovered yet and the methods couldn’t run smoothly, but she couldn’t stay here anymore.
The sooner she returned to Qianyuan Sacred Ground, the quicker she would be safe.
She always felt like she was in danger every time she stayed here. The good thing was, her injury wasn’t fatal anymore.
The City Lord of Baishan City was a good one. Maybe she could bring him along.
“Fu Ren, come in.”
The City Lord Fu Ren walked in with doubts. He wondered what this old woman wanted.
Six months ago, this old woman suddenly appeared in Baishan City. Before he could figure out what she wanted, he was threatened. On the night she went into his house, he hurriedly cleaned the secret room and the old woman suddenly appeared behind him at this time.
She chose the room and took over it.
Fortunately, he was fast enough so that his secrets wouldn’t be exposed.
Half a month later, he found out that Xiamu Sacred Ground was attacked by an unknown expert and he or she was stopped.
Fu Ren suspected that it was this woman.
She was quite a strong one and he couldn’t see through her cultivations at all. He couldn’t resist her at all when facing her.
Even if she was injured, she was still imposing.
With the threat of the old woman, he couldn’t tell anyone about the old woman’s existence, nor could he leave the house.
He could only serve her well and inform Clan Xia when the old woman had her guard down.
The only way is to entertain well and wait for the other party to drop their guard before finding someone to inform Clan Xia.
“Elder.”
Fu Ren looked at Qiu Baihui with mixed feelings and bowed his head respectfully.
Despite the fact that the woman in front of him seemed to be a beautiful and charming woman in her twenties, he was sure that she was older. Much older than him, in fact.
“I will be leaving soon, and you’re coming with me,” Qiu Baihui said in a determined tone.
Fu Ren was stunned.
This old witch must be crazy. Why was she thinking of leaving?
He hadn’t even had a chance to inform Clan Xia yet!
No! He couldn’t let her go.
“Elder, you know that I am the City Lord of this Baishan City and I cannot leave here.”
“I’m giving you a good opportunity,” Qiu Baihui said.
“Senior, you know it, Baishan City has a large population and a lot of taxes. With many mountains and rivers around, it is abundant of resources.”
“It’s just Baishan City, and you can’t let it go? If you go with me, I guarantee that with your talent, you will enter the Virtual Realm,” Qiu Baihui said with a sneer.
Obviously, she didn’t take the resources in the city seriously.
“Senior, you haven’t fully recovered yet. Maybe a little more rest?”
“That’s why I want you to come with me!”
“I…”
“What? Do you want to go against me? Even if I’m injured, I can kill you easily.”
Fu Ren had no other choice but to leave with her.
He couldn’t resist her at all.
At the same time, he was guessing where Qiu Baihui came from.
Did she have a grudge against Clan Xia or against the people of Nanzhou?
She seemed to be an expert of Virtual Realm.
Maybe the grand ancestor of a sacred ground?
Anyway, he had to stay low-key.
What troubled times!
After passing the Huanhai Sacred Ground, Fu Ren immediately felt that something was different with Zhonghou.
“The world will be in tumult. People will suffer.”
“If you don’t come with me, it won’t be long before you become one of them.” In the carriage, Qiu Baihui sneered.
Above the golden lotus in Qianyuan Sacred Ground.
The long-browed old man took a deep breath. “The next target is Huanhai Sacred Ground!”
“There are only three experts of Virtual Realm in Huanhai Sacred Ground. It is easy to take them on. But what if we get exposed when we deal with them?”
“Can we still remain unexposed if we don’t deal with them,” the long-browed old man asked.
“Grand Ancestor, it’s not the same. We can choose two powerful sacred grounds this time so that we can beat them out of blue.”
The old man with long eyebrows replied slowly, “The reason for us to deal with Huanhai Sacred Ground is to take down Clan Xia in the South. After that, we can take back the cultivation channel in Nanzhou.”
This plan was made for Qiu Baihui in the first place.
But that crazy woman made a move without permission and disappeared.
The long-browed old man had to change the plan.
“This damned old woman! Everyone from Clan Qiu is an asshole!”
