Chapter 797 - 363: Another Realm-Tearing Escape, The Truth Comes to Light

Wu Zhe had never practiced the Divination Technique himself. However, he had spent a long time with a Tier Four Divination Grandmaster from a Demon Sect and understood some of their methods.

That was why he reacted just before he was killed.

He struggled to his feet, his aura weak.

"To think I’d run into a revived member of the Ancient Nine Immortal Sects... The methods of Divinity Transformation Sect Members are far beyond my imagination. I have no complaints about losing this battle."

Even now, he still believed Li Chang’an was a member of a Divinity Transformation Immortal Sect who had been revived via a Hermit Coffin.

Of course, this assumption wasn’t entirely wrong. Li Chang’an had, after all, absorbed the memories of two Immortal Sect disciples, making him half a member himself.

Wu Zhe’s voice was hoarse. "I have indeed lost this battle. I know I cannot escape death, but you, this ancient one, will not meet a good end either!"

"What, you still have a trump card?"

"No!"

A cold sneer appeared on Wu Zhe’s pale face.

His mouth was full of blood as he stared intently at Li Chang’an.

"My Martial Uncle, Qian Shi True Monarch, is nearby! He has my Soul Lamp. When he saw my Soul Fire flicker, he knew my life was in danger. He’s already on his way, following the aura I left behind!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a loud BOOM echoed, and the entire secret chamber shook.

Outside the secret chamber, an extremely powerful figure was bombarding the entrance.

That person’s aura was far beyond that of any Golden Core Cultivator.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch!

"Ancient one, though you have Tier Four methods, you are ultimately not a true Nascent Soul True Monarch. You won’t escape my Martial Uncle!"

Wu Zhe roared with laughter.

His hair was disheveled, his body a wreck, and he seemed to have gone mad.

The rumbling outside grew more frequent, and the entire secret chamber trembled more and more violently.

Clearly, this place had decayed over the long years and simply couldn’t withstand the continuous assault of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

’So it’s Qian Shi True Monarch.’

Li Chang’an was no stranger to the person outside.

This person was one of the six public True Monarchs of the Nether Soul Sect, as well as the junior martial brother of Ten Thousand Souls True Monarch.

He was not a True Soul, only a Fake Soul.

Even so, the current Li Chang’an was no match for him.

Although he had many methods, he still couldn’t fight across a Major Realm while in the Golden Core Stage.

Fortunately, he had a Realm-Sundering Talisman, enough to escape from this place.

"Slay!"

He shouted coldly, and the Sword Array in his hand flew out once more.

This time, Wu Zhe could no longer defend himself and was turned into a pool of blood amidst the dazzling sword light.

"Soul Comes!"

Li Chang’an raised his hand and beckoned.

Wu Zhe’s Soul immediately appeared beside the pool of blood.

Seeing the Venerable Soul Banner next to Li Chang’an, he became even more certain.

"You really are an ancient one! All of the Ancient Nine Immortal Sects had the method for refining the Venerable Soul Banner. Back then, the Venerable Soul Banner wasn’t a Demonic Treasure. Speaking of which, my Nether Soul Sect is a successor to the Nether Prison Sect, one of the Nine Great Immortal Sects. We shouldn’t have been enemies..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Chang’an tossed him into the Venerable Soul Banner.

Afterward, Li Chang’an looked toward Xiao Yuan and the others.

Sensing his gaze, Xiao Yuan and the others trembled, their faces turning deathly pale.

"Senior, please spare our lives!"

"Senior, we didn’t really want to submit to the Demon Sect! We were forced!"

"I never wanted to become a Demon Sect disciple! I was just planning to be a mole inside the Demon Sect and coordinate with the Purple Mist Sect from within at a critical moment..."

Overcome with regret, they begged for mercy repeatedly.

But the only response they received was a dazzling flash of sword light.

Following a few loud booms, they were all reduced to a bloody mist.

Their Souls, naturally, were also tossed into the Venerable Soul Banner.

At this moment, cracks began to appear on the walls of the secret chamber.

The entire chamber was on the verge of collapse, about to be smashed to pieces by Qian Shi True Monarch.

’Time to go.’

Li Chang’an quickly erased all traces and auras, took out the Realm-Sundering Talisman, and activated it.

In the next instant, the Talisman’s power enveloped him and carried him far away from this place.

Just a single breath later, the secret chamber completely collapsed.

BOOM!

The surrounding walls exploded in unison.

"Disperse!"

Qian Shi True Monarch waved his hand, and all the smoke and dust dissipated.

He frowned, stepping into the secret chamber only to find it completely empty.

’Strange. Martial Nephew Wu Zhe’s aura clearly vanished outside this secret chamber. He should have entered it.’

He looked at the Soul Lamp in his hand.

The flame was extinguished, signifying Wu Zhe’s death.

But inside the secret chamber, there was not only no enemy, but not even Wu Zhe’s body.

"Soul Comes!"

He beckoned with a grand gesture, trying to summon Wu Zhe’s Soul, but nothing appeared.

’Did he go to the Reincarnation Path so quickly? No, that’s not right. His Soul was taken by someone!’

Qian Shi True Monarch immediately took out a Communication Treasure to contact his Senior Martial Brother, Ten Thousand Souls True Monarch.

Upon learning of Wu Zhe’s death, Ten Thousand Souls True Monarch fell silent for a moment.

Qian Shi True Monarch asked him, "Senior Martial Brother, do you have any idea who killed our Martial Nephew?"

"Junior Martial Brother, since that person was able to summon away my disciple’s Soul, it means he also knows Demonic techniques. Have Grandmaster Tang perform a divination. If nothing can be deduced, then it should be that Li Fan."

"Li Fan? I understand."

Qian Shi True Monarch departed at once, rushing to the Demon Sect’s secret stronghold in the Southern Domain to find the Tier Four Divination Grandmaster, Tang Taixian.

「Meanwhile.」

Inside the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

Li Chang’an separated from his Blood-Dripping Incarnation.

His main body returned to Changqing Mountain, while the Blood-Dripping Incarnation took Wu Zhe’s Storage Pouch and headed for Soul-breaking Cliff in the Blood Stone Secret Realm.

’Even if Ten Thousand Souls True Monarch comes from the Yan Country to investigate, the trail will at most lead to Soul-breaking Cliff. It won’t lead back to me.’

Soul-breaking Cliff was strange and bizarre; not even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would dare to venture deep inside.

From beginning to end, only Ye Hao had ever climbed out from the bottom of Soul-breaking Cliff.

Before long, the Blood-Dripping Incarnation arrived at the edge of Soul-breaking Cliff.
