âWho is⌠that?â Qianye Yingâerâs brow wrinkled slightly . She had suddenly appeared within the projection without a single sound . It was as if a ghost had materialized out of thin air .
The Thousand Desolation Sect Master and the Burning Moon Divine Envoy were the two strong Divine Masters . Their reactions told Yun Che and Qianye Yingâer just how dreadful this personâs strength was . This was especially⌠due to the fact that she could draw so near to a mid-stage Divine Master like the Burning Moon Divine Envoy without being detected . That in itself was a feat that required her to be at least half a great realm of power stronger than him .
Furthermore, the words she had just spoken⌠seemed to indicate that she recognized the name Yun Che .
The woman was dressed in extremely bizarre colorful clothes that resembled a collection of gorgeous rainbow colors rather than clothes . Even her long hair was made up of a myriad of colors, and she was surrounded by an ever-changing halo of strange lights .
However, even though colorful lights rippled all around her, it did not seem the least bit chaotic or messy . The only thing that this riot of colors conveyed was a dream-like sense of beauty .
Moreover, these multi-colored hues were not made up of any ordinary lights, they all seemed to be able to isolate auras . She had clearly come so near them, and they were staring at her right now, but no matter whether it was the Burning Moon Divine Envoy or the Thousand Desolation Sect Master, neither one could sense her presence . It was as though they were staring at a colorful illusion that would dissipate with a single touch .
âYou⌠You areâŚâ Even though the multi-colored lights made it so that the Burning Moon Divine Envoy was unable to make out her face or figure, these colorful lights which could isolate all auras caused a single name to suddenly reverberate in his head . It was a name that made his soul instantly seize up in shock and fear .
At this time, the Burning Moon God Emperorâs low and deep voice rang out from the black profound formation, âSeventh Witch, it canât be a coincidence that youâve appeared in this place . â
Seventh Witch⌠The two words uttered by the Burning Moon God Emperor caused the Thousand Desolation Sect Masterâs face to blanch in shock .
This woman wrapped in rainbow light was actually one of the nine Witches who served under the Devil Queen!
An existence that stood at the very pinnacle of the Northern Divine Region!
âSadly enough, there are indeed many coincidences in this world,â the Seventh Witch said in a faint voice . âI really did just happen to be traveling through this place when I suddenly received an order from my master informing me that the âdivine objectâ my Soul Stealing Realm lost ten thousand years ago had given off a reaction here . â
âBut Burning Moon God Emperor, surely you wonât tell me that this projection and divine envoy of yours appearing in this place is also a coincidence, hm!?â The Seventh Witchâs voice had clearly darkened, even though she was facing the Burning Moon God Emperor himself .
She had not only seen the Burning Moon Divine Envoy and the Burning Moon God Emperorâs projection, sheâd even heard their conversation .
âHehe . â The Burning Moon God Emperor forced down his rage as he gave a chuckle and said, âSince the object has returned to its original master, then are these other small matters even important?â
âThe object has returned to its original master?â The Seventh Witch gave a cold laugh . âIf it had truly been taken by us, then all of our strength would be used to escort it back to where our master is and thereâs no way Iâd appear in this place!â
The Burning Moon God Emperor, â . . . â
âThe reason why Master could sense that âdivine objectâ is because the Clear Sky God Emperor left a unique imprint on it . But previously, the Immaculate Barrier had been isolating it so she could not detect it . The fact that she sensed for an instant just now proves that it has not only been taken by someone else, but also that the Immaculate Barrier had been opened!â
âWha⌠at!?â The Burning Moon God Emperorâs voice suddenly turned low and deep .
It was extremely difficult to force open an Immaculate Barrier . If that was not the case, then someone as strong as the Burning Moon God Emperor would not need to hatch this scheme of hiding it within the Thousand Desolation Divine Sect for a whole ten millennia .
If the Immaculate Barrier had truly been broken, then it undoubtedly meant that the other party could use the Untamed Divine Marrow at any time! At that point, no one would be able to recover it any more .
His ten millennia of plotting and planning would turn into nothing but bubbles and air . All his efforts wouldâve gone to another and he would definitely suffer the Devil Queenâs wrath as well .
âFor all of these years, my master has never stopped looking for traces of this âdivine objectâ . These ten thousand years that have passed have also stoked the fires of her anger . Burning Moon God Emperor, if my master truly becomes enraged, I believe that you know better than anyone else how terrifying the consequences will be . â
â . . . â The Burning Moon God Emperor did not speak . Even though it was only a projection, it still radiated an incomparably shocking and heavy darkness that everyone could sense .
âYouâd better pray that my master can get back that divine object . If not⌠I really canât imagine what you, the Burning Moon God Emperor, can do to calm my masterâs wrath . â
The Seventh Witchâs voice fell . She stretched out an arm and a colorful image suddenly burst out of her body . It was as if millions of colorful ribbons had burst out and twined themselves around the Thousand Desolation Sect Master⌠This powerful upper realm king could only let out a startled shout before he was completely sealed in that multi-colored barrier . He was not even able to put up a fight .
The Burning Moon Divine Envoyâs pupils shrank as he started to swiftly retreat .
âIâve taken in this incompetent dog of yours . I trust that the Burning Moon God Emperor has no objections?â the Seventh Witch said coldly . The Thousand Desolation Sect Master was the one who had uttered the name âYun Cheâ, so it was clear that he knew a lot of useful things .
âHmph, send the Devil Queen this kingâs regards . â The Burning Moon God Emperor gave a cold snort and the profound formation also suddenly collapsed and disappeared .
âWe respectfully⌠respectfully send off our king . â
The Burning Moon Divine Envoy forcefully steeled his resolve, but now that he was facing a âWitchâ, he could not suppress the fear that bubbled up from his soul and his knowledge of these dreadful creatures . âThe current⌠The current matter that is most urgent is the recovery of the divine object . Those thieves definitely havenât fled too far . Given Your Highnessâs powers, catching them will be as easy as flipping a hand . This humble servant⌠is willing to aid Your Highness in this endeavor . â
The woman in front of him was the Soul Stealing Realmâs Seventh Witch ăHua Jină, who was also called the âIllusory Concubine of Myriad Colorsâ . She was said to have a thousand faces and ways to get the job done . It was also rumored that no one else had seen her true face besides the Devil Queen herself .
Every single one of the nine Witches that served under the Devil Queen had their own speciality . The Seventh Witchâs strong point lay in the art of transformation and this ability of hers was practically unrivaled in the Northern Region . She could disguise her face, her voice, the shape of her body, and her aura . It was also rumored that no one could see through her disguises .
âIâve already dispatched people to lay down a net over the entire Thousand Desolation Realm . â Witch Hua Jin turned around, âYou should take this chance to scram⌠while I still donât feel like dirtying my own hands!â
â . . . â The Burning Moon Divine Envoyâs feet had already been backpedaling . Upon hearing these words, his very first reaction was not shame or rage . Instead, he felt as if he had received salvation . He did not dare say another word and scuttled off in fear .
âŚâŚ
âYet another Witch!â Yun Che said in a low voice . They had met Nanfeng Chanyi not too long ago and it had not been easy for them to escape her notice . To think that they would meet another one!
âYou should ask yourself exactly why this has happened!â Qianye Yingâer said in a very huffy voice . âIt would be rare for a commoner to meet someone like a witch even once in their lives . But you have only been in the Northern Divine Region for about a year and youâve already met two of them! They were practically sucked in by your constitution of ill omen and calamity!â
Yun Che, â . . . â
Qianye Yingâer suddenly extended a hand and grabbed Yun Che . âLetâs go! Letâs leave this place immediately . â
âWhere?â
âThe God Realm of Absolute Beginning!â Qianye Yingâer said in a low and unhurried voice .
âThereâs no need,â Yun Che said . âThey wonât be able to find us . â
He could disguise himself and he could change the darkness aura he radiated while Qianye Yingâer possessed the Ni Yuan Stone . Both of them could turn invisible . As for the Untamed Divine Marrow, even though it was marked with a tracking imprint, it would not be able to be sensed if it was in the Sky Poison Pearl, no matter how strong that tracking imprint was .
âNo, the seriousness of this matter far exceeds what I had imagined,â Qianye Yingâer said in a deep voice . âAt first, I thought that we would only offend a Burning Moon King Realm at most, but now⌠the Soul Stealing Realm has also been dragged into this!â
âYou think that our ability to hide ourselves is completely infallible? Heh⌠if you look down on a king realm, you will die a miserable death . Much less two king realms!â Qianye Yingâerâs voice grew deeper and darker . âThere is no such thing as being truly âinfallibleâ in this world . You havenât so quickly forgotten the lesson dealt to you by Nanhuang Chanyi, right? Given our current power, meeting anyone from these two great king realms would mean our certain doom . â
âBesides, the current problem isnât only that we have obtained the Untamed Divine Marrow,â Qianye Yingâer continued . âThe Northern Regionâs Devil Queen used Nanhuang Chanyi to communicate with us before and she used the word âcooperationâ back then . We somehow managed to agree to stave it off with a âthree hundred yearâ agreement . But today, the Northern Regionâs Devil Queen will very soon discover that we were the ones who took the Untamed Divine Marrow and at that time, the speed of your growth will be exposed . â
âWhen you first met Nanhuang Chanyi, defeating a mid-stage Divine Sovereign was our limit . But right now, we managed to ruin the comparatively large Thousand Desolation Divine Sect and we even managed to open the Immaculate Barrier that even the Burning Moon God Emperor has been helpless to open . It has not even been a year between now and then!â
âThis speed of growth is enough to deeply shock even the Devil Queen . She will immediately realize that the âthree hundred yearâ agreement was nothing more than a pretense to get her off our backs . â
âThe reason why she wants to recruit you into the Soul Stealing Realm is because of your potential, the âTrue God Prophecyâ that hangs over your head, and your hatred of the Eastern Divine Region . But it is precisely because of these things that she definitely wonât allow you to grow beyond her control before she can fully sink her claws into you . â
âPreviously, given all logic and common sense, it was impossible for you to grow beyond her control in a short three hundred years . But after the events of today, she will definitely no longer feel this way! There is no way she will really stick to our previous agreement of three hundred years⌠We hold Nanhuang Chanyiâs weakness in our hand, but the most we can influence is Nanhuang Chanyi herself! We wonât be able to affect the Devil Queen!â
Qianye Yingâerâs gaze swiveled toward Yun Che as she glowered at him . âDo you know why the Soul Stealing Realm is called the âSoul Stealingâ Realm? If the current you were to fall into the hands of the Northern Regionâs Devil Queen, you might very well become her puppet for the rest of your life!â
âDo not ever think that she wonât be able to do such a thing to you! I think that I am a clever person, yet I spent my entire life dancing like a toy in the palm of that old villain, Qianye Fantian . Yet the Northern Regionâs Devil Queen Chi Wuyao is someone who left a lifelong shadow in his heart . Right now, you donât have the qualifications to go up against her⌠do you understand!?â
âWhat else?â Yun Che said .
âThe Untamed Divine Marrow is an item that should be extinct . â A strange light briefly flashed in the depths of Qianye Yingâerâs eyes . âSo the piece that fell into our hands may very well be the only one that still exists in this present age! If we were to simply use it like this, itâd be far too much of a pity . â
âIf we are able to find a fabled Divine Fruit of Absolute Beginning in the God Realm of Absolute Beginning and use these two items to refine the âUntamed World Pelletâ . . . it wonât be as simple as taking a huge step forward on our road to vengeance! At that time, with the power of the Eternal Calamity of Darkness, you might very well have truly obtained the qualifications to cooperate with the Northern Regionâs Devil Queen!â
Yun Che, â . . . â
âDonât worry . Chi Wuyao is an extremely intelligent and ambitious person,â Qianye Yingâer said in a low voice . âEven though she will be extremely furious once she finds out that youâve used the Untamed Divine Marrow and there is no way to recover it, she will know how to cut her losses and cooperate with you . After all, even though there wonât be another piece of Untamed Divine Marrow in this world, there also wonât be another you . â
Iâm afraid the second result is what youâre truly aiming for, rightâŚ
Yun Che gave Qianye Yingâer a deep look but he did not speak the words that were on his mind . Instead he said, âWell said . Letâs go then . â
âYouâre sure that you want to go now? Youâre not worried about the people of the Heavenly Handle Yun Clan?â Qianye Yingâer said . âNo matter whether it is the Soul Stealing Realm or the Burning Moon King Realm, both parties will definitely trace them to you . â
âIâm not worried,â Yun Che said . âIf that Devil Queen is truly as intelligent as you say she is, then she wonât touch the members of the Heavenly Handle Yun Clan . At the very least⌠she will make sure to protect Yun Shang . â
âLetâs go!â
Perhaps Yun Che was truly possessed by a star of ill omen . He was wanted dead or alive by the three divine regions and had been forced into the Northern Divine Region . After a short year, a Witch had discovered his identity and he had unwittingly laid his hands on a piece of Untamed Divine Marrow, an object that concerned two king realms . But now even the Northern Divine Region had become a dangerous place where he could find nary a place to rest .
The God Realm of Absolute Beginning had seemingly become the last place they could go .
