Chapter 543: Chapter 478: Asura Demon, Scapegoat Candidate

"Dreamguardians!"

"Show yourselves!"

Qinghua’s phoenix eyes were bloodshot, her tone stern.

Even at the precipice of life and death, with her back against the wall, she maintained a sliver of composure.

Her thoughts raced, and she finally locked onto the key to her survival!

’Yehai is too strong. With the power of this clone, it’s impossible for me to fight him head-on.’

’But these ruins suppress Divine Sense. Even a Tier 5 Divine Sense can only cover a hundred meters at most!’

’As for tracking my aura with the Thousand Miles Soul Locking Skill... I’ve checked myself. There are no tracking markers or any other abnormalities.’

Qinghua was certain of this.

After all.

Her spiritual soul was a wisp separated from that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Even though some key memories had been wiped during the separation for the sake of secrecy.

She still possessed the perspective of a Nascent Soul!

’So...’

’The fact that he can stick to me like a plague, chasing me relentlessly... means someone must be providing him with my location!’

"Honorable Dreamguardians, am I... correct?"

OMMMM.

Qinghua looked up, her gaze turning cold.

Within these ruins, the only ones capable of providing Su Ye with her location were, naturally, the Dreamguardians!

These foreign gods, the masters of the Volcano Grotto Heaven—only they possessed such immense power!

WHOOSH.

As her voice faded, a dead silence fell.

The Dreamguardians did not answer.

"Ngh..."

Seeing this, Qinghua’s expression turned utterly grim.

This physical body of hers, though a clone, was exceedingly difficult to create.

It required splitting a spiritual soul, supplementing it with various rare treasures to form a soul seed, then finding a woman with a specific fate and implanting it into her sea of consciousness when she was young.

Then, once the woman reached adulthood, a spell could be cast, allowing the seed to sprout within her sea of consciousness, take over, and be refined into a clone.

Because it possessed the original host’s personality, this type of clone had a very weak connection to the main body. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch wouldn’t be able to spot anything wrong without a meticulous inspection.

This kind of clone wasn’t something she could just abandon at will.

’This is exactly why my main body prepared so many protective artifacts for me...’

’I thought that with this body’s cultivation level, I could come and go as I please against anyone below the Nascent Soul realm. Who would have thought...’

Qinghua’s face was pale, her heart sinking.

Recalling her recent clash with Su Ye, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth.

That freak, relying on the terrifying power that came from being Tier 5 in both body and soul, had forcibly depleted her protective treasures one by one!

Now, the protective treasures in her possession were almost exhausted!

If she ran into him again, Qinghua had no confidence she could escape!

Her only hope now was to rely on the Dreamguardians, to persuade them to cut off Su Ye’s location feed. That was her only chance of survival!

HUUU...

With that in mind, Qinghua took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The Sun-Shining Divine Spear is still in my possession. Don’t you want to reclaim it?"

Qinghua’s voice echoed down the corridor, crisp and pleasant.

But unfortunately for her, the Dreamguardians continued to watch coldly, showing no intention of responding.

As far as they were concerned, between Su Ye and Qinghua, the Dreamguardians were more inclined to support the former.

After all.

Even if Su Ye was greedy.

He had, in the end, refined a Dao Source, relieving the pressure on their divine kingdom.

But Qinghua, this disciple of the Blood Moon, had only offered empty words with no action.

Comparing the two, the choice was obvious.

’We’ll wait and see how things unfold.’

’We will intervene at the critical moment.’

The Dreamguardians watched Qinghua with cold indifference.

It was time this disciple of the Blood Moon learned a harsh lesson.

’Dammit.’

Qinghua’s brow furrowed tightly.

Even though she couldn’t perceive the Dreamguardians’ gazes.

Their lack of response was, in itself, the clearest response.

Qinghua’s pretty face contorted as she gnashed her teeth, cursing the Dreamguardians countless times in her heart. ’These foreign gods... they really can’t be trusted!’

...

Just then.

THUD! THUD!

In the silent corridor, the sound of steady, powerful footsteps echoed with extreme clarity.

The footsteps were exceptionally regular, as if each step had been calculated by a computer, without the slightest deviation!

’He’s here!’

Hearing the footsteps,

Qinghua whipped her head around.

Her gaze was like fire, yet tinged with fear!

Almost simultaneously, she formed a hand seal and cast a spell!

"Decree: Divine Movement!"

Qinghua let out a low cry. A silver decree appeared and empowered her body.

In an instant, she transformed into a silver streak and shot away!

But.

In that same instant.

SHIING!

Another silver streak flashed out!

At the same time, the silver streak that was Qinghua inexplicably stalled for a split second!

’What?’

This allowed the second silver streak, though launched later, to arrive first!

BOOM!

The two silver streaks collided, and the one that was Qinghua was struck hard!

The spiritual light of the True Talisman Decree immediately dimmed and faded, disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The silver light dissipated.

Revealing Qinghua’s figure in a wretched state.

THUD.

She stumbled and fell to the ground.

Even more shocking, her entire left arm, along with a good portion of her left shoulder, had vanished. The bloody wound was appallingly gruesome!

Not far away.

A silver Moon Blade Halberd was embedded in the ground, its edge stained with blood!

’My arm!’

Qinghua’s expression darkened, but she held it in, not crying out in pain.

She had the temperament of a demonic cultivator; she could endure the pain of a severed arm without making a sound!

OMMMM.

A silver light flashed.

The Moonfall Halberd flew back and was caught steadily by a well-defined hand.

CLACK.

A figure emerged from the shadows, dressed in a black robe. It was none other than Su Ye!

"Heh heh..."

"Qinghua, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. I’ve missed you so."
