Chapter 273: Leaving

Wang Yu subconsciously swept his divine sense over Zhu Wuyan, only to discover that the other party's spiritual energy fluctuations were somewhat strange.

At one moment, it was unfathomable, fundamentally impossible to probe the depth, as if it exceeded the Qi Refinement realm; at the next moment, the spiritual energy fluctuations were abnormally weak, as if they were only at the level of the second or third layer of Qi Refinement.

What made Wang Yu even more surprised was that on Zhu Wuyan's face, which was shrouded in faint blood light, one eye had turned blood-red, while the other was crystalline and white. Although they were both looking at him, there was a hair-raising feeling of being watched by two people simultaneously.

Wang Yu slapped the storage bag at his waist without a word, and three pale-red mirrors flew out directly, circling and dancing around his body, and amidst a series of mechanical sounds, they transformed into three floating cannon platforms.

Pale-golden talisman patterns emerged on the surface of the three cannon barrels, simultaneously aiming at Zhu Wuyan.

At the same time, the hand he was hiding in his sleeve flipped, and his fingers also pinched a talisman engraved with a blood-colored long blade pattern.

Wang Yu looked at Zhu Wuyan solemnly, knowing deeply the terror of the other party's blood-path secret techniques, and had already made plans to use his strongest means as soon as he took action.

He must decide life and death in a short time; otherwise, given the entanglement of blood-path cultivation methods, once he was dragged down by the other party, wanting to escape would be a delusional matter.

But a strange thing happened.

At this time, Zhu Wuyan was merely looking at Wang Yu coldly from the front, without any intention of coming over.

Wang Yu's heart stirred. Recalling the dialogue he had just heard from the opposite side, his mind turned several times, and he urged the bone boat beneath him to shift direction, flying slowly toward the other side of the void, appearing as if he intended to bypass Zhu Wuyan, but the three floating cannon platforms circling before him still pointed at Zhu Wuyan from afar.

The blurry blood-colored figure transformed by Zhu Wuyan had no intention of pursuing.

Wang Yu also didn't stand on ceremony. He poured his internal mana into the bone boat beneath him with all his might. The flying artifact beneath him trembled slightly, and he broke through the air at full speed.

The blurry blood-colored figure watched the back of the bone boat as it went far away, still standing motionless in place.

"You really don't intend to take action? If we go out like this, it won't be easy for me to explain to Blood Smoke Old Ghost?" A strange man's voice suddenly came from Zhu Wuyan's body.

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't mind doing this as a favor, but this person is not an ordinary Qi Refinement disciple. If I take action now, it will mostly likely result in both sides being injured. Besides, he killed the descendant of Blood Smoke Old Ghost; if it were before, I might have even hated him and clapped my hands in joy." Zhu Wuyan replied slowly.

"This brat looks like he is only at the late-stage Qi Refinement cultivation, and he can still result in both sides being injured with you? This makes me somewhat surprised." The strange voice replied noncommittally.

"Forget it. Originally, I intended for you to kill this person to send a favor to Blood Smoke Old Ghost, and then I would take you away from the Demon Luo Zong. Now, regardless of how Blood Smoke Old Ghost reacts, I can only forcibly take you back.

After all, this wisp of split soul has already parasitized your body, and I don't want to lose it for nothing, so as not to affect my future cultivation of the Great Dao." Tiangu Tianchan Tianchan Laozu replied noncommittally.

"With Tiangu Senior's original body cultivation, I should not need to fear Blood Smoke Old Ghost. However, did this person truly kill the descendant of Blood Smoke Old Ghost? How did Senior know and lock onto his position?" Zhu Wuyan asked with some interest.

"Hehe, this little fellow carries the Blood-Transforming Demon Blade Talisman Treasure, and this talisman treasure was drawn using the essence blood of Blood Smoke Old Ghost. With the several hundred years of dealings I have had with the old ghost, even if we are a hundred miles apart, I can sense the aura of his essence blood." Tiangu Tianchan Tianchan Laozu chuckled.

"The Blood-Transforming Demon Blade Talisman Treasure is actually on him? It seems not taking action was the right choice; otherwise, wouldn't this imitation of the Blood-Transforming Demon Blade of mine be completely countered by this talisman treasure?" Zhu Wuyan was shocked upon hearing this.

"What are you afraid of? It is merely a talisman treasure. Others fear Blood Smoke Old Ghost's Blood-Transforming Demon Blade, but I have a way to easily abolish this talisman treasure; otherwise, why would I have let you take the initiative to come over?" Tiangu Tianchan Tianchan Laozu replied indifferently.

"So that's how it is. Then this junior can rest assured." Zhu Wuyan nodded.

"Rest assured. You are different from ordinary Demon Luo Zong disciples. You were originally just a backup for the Blood Spirit Incarnation cultivated by Blood Smoke Old Ghost. From a certain perspective, you are not a true disciple of the Demon Luo Zong. As long as you follow this old ancestor back to the Black Soul Sect, you will be the fourth true disciple under this old man's seat. Even if that Blood Smoke Old Ghost finds out, he can only pinch his nose and acknowledge this matter; at most, he will compensate with some rare materials afterward." Tiangu Tianchan Tianchan Laozu comforted him.

"If that can truly be the case, Senior will be Zhu Wuyan's rebirth parent in the future. From now on, I will definitely be loyal to Senior to repay this great life-saving kindness." Zhu Wuyan was somewhat moved and swore to the heavens.

"I hope you can remember the words you said today." Tiangu Tianchan Tianchan Laozu smiled gloomily and didn't say anything more.

A moment later, a blood light soared into the sky and flew toward another direction at lightning speed.

Wang Yu flew out for dozens of miles in one breath, activated Overclock mode, and kept observing backward with his divine sense, discovering that Zhu Wuyan truly hadn't pursued him, only then feeling a long sigh of relief. He restored the three Child-Mother Floating Mirrors before him to their original form and put them away again.

But he felt some doubt in his heart: how did Zhu Wuyan find him, and even manage to set up restrictions ahead of time, but in the end, didn't take action and let him leave?

Who was the other person who had been talking to Zhu Wuyan earlier?

Wang Yu felt greatly puzzled and simply stopped thinking about this matter. He looked at the white arrow phantom on his arm, adjusted the direction of the flying boat, and rushed on his way at full speed again.

Half a day later.

Above a stretch of forest near the edge, a pitch-black massive hole was clearly visible.

Beneath the black hole stood more than twenty giant human-shaped puppets, two zhang tall, holding massive silver swords, their massive bodies constructed from spiritual wood, standing motionless and alert in the vicinity.

These puppets had no facial features, but an obvious silver "Bamboo" character was engraved on their chests. They were all puppets of the Thousand Bamboo Sect, and each emitted an aura approaching Qi Refinement perfection.

From all directions in the vicinity, from time to time, streaks of escape light and flying boats rushed over, sinking directly into the black hole and leaving this secret realm.

Above another desert area, a giant hole wreathed in black mist was also revealed.

Near the giant hole were lined up over a hundred white-as-bone human demons, each a zhang tall, wearing armor, holding various bone blades and bone guns, and even seven or eight giant bone pythons were lying in the center, each raising their heads and flicking their tongues, abnormally ferocious.

Wang Yu saw the massive black hole and the puppet guards beneath it from afar, feeling great joy in his heart. He urged the flying boat beneath his feet and flew beneath the black hole in one breath.

Those puppet guards nearby all turned their heads to look over, but as the inner disciple token in Wang Yu's storage bag flickered slightly, these Thousand Bamboo Sect puppets returned to normal again.

Wang Yu drove the bone boat and dived directly into the black hole above. ===== CHAPTER 274 =====
