Chapter 1784: Chapter 1811: Settling Accounts with Sixth Brother
Upon hearing this news, the corners of the clan elders’ eyes and brows immediately rose.
The Liu Family’s bold scheme to deliberately kill off disciples of other clans was audacious indeed. This was precisely the opportunity they’d been waiting for to target a few families, suppress them, and consolidate their own standing. The Liu Family’s genius was courting death himself, providing them with a justifiable excuse.
A group of old men gathered around Wang Ruoying, expressing their concerns, which made her feel overwhelmed as she glanced around, not seeing a trace of Li Xiaobai.
Watching this beloved disciple look around, the clan elders realized something was amiss, quickly turning their heads to look behind them. The spot where Li Xiaobai and his party had stood was now empty; the genius from the southern major power had left!
“This is bad, our demands have not yet been fulfilled, how did Young Master Li leave!”
“Indeed, it was our oversight, we were focused on questioning Ruo Ying. Quickly, catch up and be sure to invite him back for a proper reception.”
What they didn’t know was that the person they were searching for had long vanished into the distance.
In a certain desolate area of the Eastern Land, four figures were rapidly fleeing.
“Second Senior Sister, why the rush? They’re just a small family, not worth mentioning.”
Yang Chen followed along with the others, his expression somewhat puzzled.
“The King of Underworld is easy to deal with; it’s the little ghosts that are troublesome. It’s precisely these ignorant minor forces that are the most unreasonable, insisting on digging deep into everything before letting it go. Little Junior Brother saved me from the Eighteen Levels of Hell, already offending the Netherworld. Once they report it, it’ll only be a matter of time before the mighty ones in the depths of space take notice. We must hurry and get out.”
“Moreover, do you know what the Overseers are?”
Ye Wushuang asked.
“Overseers?”
“What are they, a new force?”
Yang Chen shook his head.
“Apparently, Senior Sister was suppressed by them, and once our whereabouts are detected, we might be next.”
Ye Wushuang’s words were concise and pointed, directly revealing the most critical concerns, making Yang Chen understand that now was not the time to progress gradually. They were not ordinary cultivators; once discovered by old enemies, they’d be immediately drawn into the boundless battlefield.
Thus, it was essential to grasp the worldview at once, understand the changes happening in the deep space, to know oneself and the enemy.
Yang Chen said, “What Senior Sister says makes sense, but before that, there’s still something we haven’t resolved.”
Ye Wushuang knowingly said, “Old Six can’t stay alive, you and I will take action, and silence this traitor.”
Yang Chen was a bit surprised, “I thought Little Junior Brother hadn’t told you about this, after all, among several senior brothers and sisters, he had the best relationship with Sixth Senior Brother, and he was the first to rescue Sixth Senior Brother. But it seems Sixth Senior Brother said some bewitching words to him, leading Little Junior Brother to still trust him, truly despicable.”
“Isn’t it his usual trick to deceive people, only this time he used it on his own people. Personal relationships are one thing, but Little Junior Brother has always been clear-cut in matters of principle.”
“Back then, he abandoned his post at the last minute, leaving only a clone to defend, causing a critical point to falter, leading to the unnecessary sacrifice of many heroic souls. This is the sin he bears, unable to be washed away in a lifetime, regardless of the reason, I won’t let him off lightly.”
Ye Wushuang coldly said.
Once she entered the Immortal Gods Realm, she saw the brilliance of joint celestial battles in the west. Among the massive beams of light were the auras of Liu Jinshui and Ergouzi, as well as the aura of the Buddha Lord.
“The Buddha Lord is also alive. In the end, the one who did nothing became the winner.”
“Let’s kill him together; there’s no reason to forgive him.”
Ye Wushuang and Yang Chen communicated swiftly, the few words exchanged held immense information.
Li Xiaobai hesitated to speak, “Uh, Senior Sister, Sixth Senior Brother said he was preserving his strength to make a comeback later…”
“And you believe his nonsense? Wasn’t it you who let this Old Six out? And what came of his last-minute escape to preserve strength, wasn’t he still suppressed by others?”
“You were not informed nor involved in matters of the past; these grudges are between us brothers and him, Little Junior Brother needn’t worry much.”
Ye Wushuang said blandly.
“Indeed quite sudden, but I understand the situation, Little Junior Brother must have realized as well. So, our time of gathering and drinking to our hearts’ content is no more; strive to become stronger and catch up to your Senior Brothers in the starry sky.”
“Second Senior Sister and I are heading west. You two can find a place to lay low, wait for an opportunity to enter the deep space again.”
Yang Chen patted Li Xiaobai’s shoulder, sighing as a farewell.
“Little Junior is strong, it won’t be long before he catches up, no need to say any superfluous words.”
“Let’s fight and strive to kill him before he escapes to the Boundary Sea!”
Ye Wushuang grabbed Yang Chen by the collar, traversing through the void, disappearing instantly.
Watching the rolling dust being stirred from the surface, Li Xiaobai didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Second Senior Sister was indeed decisive and efficient, though over the years, her temper didn’t seem to have improved much.
“Finally sent this domineering woman off; little brother, where to next?”
Yu Huan Shui was instead relieved, he was not Li Xiaobai, staying by Ye Wushuang’s side made him not dare even to breathe, and there was also the weight of being wrongly labeled as a husband, which was immensely stressful. With the departure of the two top experts, he felt relaxed.
“Of course, we’re going west. Senior Brothers and Sisters are engaged in a great battle, how can I live idly and peacefully? At the very least, I should be a witness, see the outcome for peace of mind.”
Li Xiaobai said without hesitation, a sentence that caused the heart Yu Huan Shui had just put down to rise again.
“Over there is the battlefield of today’s strongest, a battle of such level, no mere star can endure. Rash involvement would be dangerous.”
Yu Huan Shui advised against it. Compared to observing the battle of the strong, he preferred to find a spatial passage to the Boundary Sea and quietly return to his tribe.
“This great battle is also exceptional material for you, Mr. Yu does not fancy witnessing it, leaving a mark in the annals of history?”
“Moreover, since Mr. Yu can see that this star cannot withstand such a battle, Senior Sister will naturally find a way to move the battlefield to the Boundary Sea. If we follow her path, won’t we be out?”
Li Xiaobai explained.
He only listened to half of Ye Wushuang’s warnings. Despite his cultivation being weak now, just cultivating steadily in the Immortal Gods Realm would make catching up to Senior Brothers and Sisters uncertain and far-off. Seeking fortune in dangers, wandering the Universe would lead to quicker progress.
If he didn’t know, it’d be fine, but knowing that the Immortal Gods Realm is but a speck of dust in the vast cosmos, he could no longer peacefully train there. Stepping out was the true stage.
“You make some sense; you and I share the same desire to leave. Mr. Yu speculates that the Immortal is very likely to shatter the void to get out. If we keep up, it wouldn’t be a bad idea.”
“But this method is very dangerous, don’t count on me to keep you safe.”
