Connecting Chambers.
“Damn it! What does the real exit even look like? This is maddening!” Chi Dun raged, smashing through door after door.
But beyond each door, there was yet another chamber.
Chamber, chamber, chamber… Chi Dun suspected he was trapped in an endless loop.
“Had I known this, I would have stayed at Fire Persimmon Immortal City and continued battling those blazing fiery beasts!”
But there was no choice.
This was a transfer order personally issued by Meng Kui!
“Hmm?”
Bursting into another chamber, he suddenly saw a black silhouette demonic cultivator, his eyes lighting up.
The black silhouette demonic cultivator opened a door and vanished in a flash.
“Where do you think you’re going!” Chi Dun exclaimed, overjoyed, and quickly gave chase.
After chasing through three chambers, the black silhouette demonic cultivator seemed to have a clear destination. Chi Dun had just arrived, and each time the figure chose a door, there was no hesitation, yet a discernible pattern.
The distance between them was constantly shrinking.
Chi Dun finally caught up to the black silhouette demonic cultivator.
He threw a punch with all his might, the force immense, the air exploding from the impact of the fist.
The black silhouette demonic cultivator turned in mid-air and raised an arm to block.
With a loud bang, the black silhouette demonic cultivator was sent flying back at an even faster speed.
Chi Dun remained in place, gritting his teeth.
A large orange-yellow talisman was imprinted on his chest, its edges still spreading outwards, forming a powerful sealing force.
Chi Dun’s eyes were bloodshot, his body and mind filled with explosive shock and fury!
He channeled his Golden Core stage magic with all his might, his muscles bulging, heat radiating, and veins popping out like dragons.
He struggled with all his strength, slowly raising his head. Because of the seal, this small action of lifting his head felt as difficult as lifting a mountain.
But Chi Dun paid no mind. He stared fiercely in the direction the black silhouette demonic cultivator had fled, roaring in his heart: “It’s him!”
Despite only a single clash, Chi Dun immediately realized that this was the very same black silhouette demonic cultivator he had fought and pursued into the Fire Persimmon Forest!
“I can’t believe I found you, ah!!!” Chi Dun suddenly yelled out, swinging his arms with full force, completely shattering the sealing talisman on his body.
Blood immediately gushed from his nose and mouth.
But he paid no heed, carrying the rage that filled his chest, he threw himself with all his might in the direction the black silhouette demonic cultivator had vanished.
Bang, bang, bang.
The sounds of doors being opened and closed almost blended into one.
“Who’s there?” A Golden Core True Disciple from Purple Cloud Pavilion was also exploring the chambers.
Within the range of his divine sense, a cultivator with a Golden Core aura suddenly intruded.
“A black silhouette demonic cultivator? Heh heh, me too!” The Golden Core True Disciple from Purple Cloud Pavilion’s smile quickly faded as he realized the figure was heading directly towards him.
The Golden Core True Disciple from Purple Cloud Pavilion wore a solemn expression, fully on guard.
The next moment, the black silhouette demonic cultivator burst into the chamber, and the two met face to face.
The black silhouette demonic cultivator did not linger, choosing the door on the left and entering again.
Just as the Golden Core True Disciple from Purple Cloud Pavilion relaxed, his divine sense detected another Golden Core.
It was Chi Dun!
He was on guard again.
After all, this time, he was disguised as a black silhouette demonic cultivator.
Chi Dun saw the Golden Core from Purple Cloud Pavilion and paid no attention, simply entering the door on the left.
Under Chi Dun’s divine sense, he had long since detected the strong aura of the Golden Core True Disciple from Purple Cloud Pavilion and had his eyes fixed on the previous black silhouette demonic cultivator.
Seeing Chi Dun leave in a hurry, the Golden Core from Purple Cloud Pavilion relaxed again.
He was about to continue exploring when he suddenly changed his mind. He had no clues himself, and seeing Chi Dun’s look of deep resentment, perhaps he should follow and see!
Chi Dun was still within the range of the Golden Core from Purple Cloud Pavilion’s divine sense, and the latter decisively set off.
The chase continued.
“Quick, help me stop the black silhouette demonic cultivator ahead!” Within the range of Chi Dun’s divine sense, a Meng family Golden Core cultivator appeared. He decisively sent a message, seeking help.
The Meng family Golden Core cultivator, having been defeated and fled due to Zheng Danlian’s betrayal, had already consumed pills and was recuperating.
Upon receiving Chi Dun’s message, he immediately provided active cooperation.
The black silhouette demonic cultivator was entangled by the Meng family Golden Core, finally allowing Chi Dun to catch up again.
The three of them started fighting in the chamber!
Bang, bang, bang.
Dense black smoke exploded, poisoning the divine sense.
Within the black smoke, countless black pythons streaked across the battlefield, forcing Chi Dun and the Meng family Golden Core to retreat steadily.
The ferocity of the attack caused the Golden Core from Purple Cloud Pavilion, who was approaching the battlefield, to slow down his pace.
The black silhouette demonic cultivator temporarily repelled the two enemies and withdrew.
After shaking off the black smoke, Chi Dun and the Meng family Golden Core continued to pursue relentlessly.
Within the range of his divine sense, Zhu Xuanji suddenly appeared!
The Meng family Golden Core was surprised and uncertain.
Chi Dun, however, was overjoyed.
Logically, the Meng family and Zhu Xuanji had already fallen out. But Chi Dun, a body cultivator, didn’t think much and directly sent a message: “Divine Arrest Zhu, the black silhouette demonic cultivator who escaped into the Fire Persimmon Forest is ahead!”
“Oh?” Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuanji’s eyes immediately shot out with brilliance and he immediately set off.
He also joined the pursuit team.
But in terms of distance, he was further away than the Meng family Golden Core and Chi Dun.
The pursuit team was expanding!
Another black silhouette demonic cultivator appeared within the range of everyone’s divine sense.
Chi Dun and the Meng family Golden Core didn’t recognize him, but Zhu Xuanji understood the other party’s true identity.
“Brother Zhou, quickly intercept that person!” Zhu Xuanji sent a divine sense message.
Zhou Nongying was impersonating a black silhouette demonic cultivator, so of course he had to let his own people know. Especially Zhu Xuanji! Otherwise, being killed by his own side would be too unfair.
Upon receiving the message, Zhou Nongying immediately threw out a formation disk, which instantly deployed, blocking the door.
The black silhouette demonic cultivator opened the door and fell into the formation.
The smile that had just appeared on Zhou Nongying’s face froze the next moment.
He saw the formation bulge, the array patterns distort, the space fluctuate and ripple, and the black silhouette demonic cultivator passed directly through the ripples, effortlessly breaking out of the formation.
“Supernatural ability – Fleeing the Battlefield?!” Zhou Nongying’s heart was greatly shaken.
Almost all of his learning was in the field of formations.
The black silhouette demonic cultivator mastering this supernatural ability was simply his nemesis!
The black silhouette demonic cultivator charged directly at him.
Zhou Nongying’s heart pounded, his will to fight wavered, and he subconsciously retreated to the side, creating distance.
As a result, he yielded the door behind him, and the black silhouette demonic cultivator pushed it open and entered.
After realizing this, Zhou Nongying did not dare to pursue and immediately began to dismantle the formation to prevent blocking his own people.
Setting up the formation was easy, but dismantling it was relatively difficult. He immediately raced against time, getting flustered.
Through divine sense communication, Zhu Xuanji learned from Zhou Nongying that the black silhouette demonic cultivator actually possessed the supernatural ability Fleeing the Battlefield, and his heart immediately sank.
Countless clues in his mind rose and fell, appearing one after another, and for a moment, there were signs of them connecting.
It was at this moment that a divine sense message arrived, and it was the black silhouette demonic cultivator who proactively contacted Zhu Xuanji: “Divine Arrest Zhu, instead of chasing me, you’d better investigate the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit!”
“To enlighten you: Over the years, the Palace Spirit has exploited tiny loopholes in its authority, transforming the Molten Lava Immortal Palace. It has constructed several passages from the magic power pool, seemingly stealing magic power, accumulating it drop by drop, for unknown purposes.”
Zhu Xuanji’s heart immediately shook, and he thought of the Ten Thousand Mile Roaming Dragon.
He snorted coldly, still pursuing relentlessly.
At the same time, Zhu Xuanji sent a divine sense message, on the one hand ordering the black silhouette demonic cultivator to stop and be investigated; on the other hand, he contacted Zhu Zhen, informing the latter of this crucial clue.
Zhu Zhen was overjoyed upon receiving the clue: “Brother, during my previous investigation, I did discover some structures that seemed redundant and were added temporarily. Following this lead, I am very likely to find the hidden Ten Thousand Mile Roaming Dragon!”
He immediately began to act.
This action completely startled the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit!
“What is Zhu Zhen looking for?”
“You’re not dealing with the dense monstrous beasts, you’re not fighting with other Golden Cores, what are you looking for?!”
Zhu Zhen’s target was so obvious; he was simply following the magic power channels, following the vine to find the melon.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit immediately burst into flames.
It was getting anxious!
“I’m exposed!”
“The Ten Thousand Mile Roaming Dragon is also exposed!!”
“Damn it, when did the Zhu family learn this secret?”
It was tempted to escape now, enter the Ten Thousand Mile Roaming Dragon, and leave.
No!
The Molten Lava Immortal Palace was still restraining it, and it couldn’t get away.
“Meng Chong, you useless piece of garbage!” It roared, exasperated.
In the battle with Ning Zhuo, Meng Chong was already at a complete disadvantage.
Ning Zhuo had released several mechanical constructs to protect himself and resist Meng Chong’s relentless charges. And he himself was already standing before the great door, beginning to piece together wooden planks.
This situation plunged the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit into despair.
It was extremely anxious, knowing that Meng Chong was bound to lose.
To resolve the predicament, it had to make another breakthrough!
Forced into a corner, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had no choice but to muster its courage, break through its own limits, and proactively contact Meng Kui!
“Meng Kui, if you don’t act now, it will be too late!!”
“Who?” Meng Kui was surprised.
The next moment, he smiled slightly: “Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, you finally stopped pretending to be dead and contacted me voluntarily. Don’t worry, everything is within my control…”
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit roared in anger, directly interrupting him: “Idiot! You have no idea, that Ning Zhuo…”
Just as it spoke, the flaming鍘 knife instantly materialized.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was unable to move, ready to be executed!
The鍘 knife fell fiercely, and the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was decapitated once again, its head and body separated. The dragon head rolled to the ground with wide eyes, then immediately turned into points of spiritual light and floated away.
The Molten Lava Immortal Palace strictly prohibited the disclosure of cultivator information. The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, anxious to break the rules, was decapitated and severely injured before it could even speak.
The information it was about to reveal was thus stopped.
“Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit?” Meng Kui’s calls received no response.
In an instant, his heart was greatly shaken!
“I was actually misled by destiny, thinking that everything was under control.”
Although the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit did not speak, for Meng Kui, who had the reputation of a wise general, it was enough!
He seized this opportunity to see through the illusion of destiny, and his mind became completely clear.
He intended to use his supernatural ability to examine the pattern of luck on the battlefield again.
The time was not right!
Meng Kui sensed that victory was rapidly slipping from his grasp. He made calculations with his fingers, frowning deeply, his frown deepening with each calculation.
In the Molten Lava Immortal Palace.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit breathed heavily, its vision restored once more.
Its body was less than thirty percent of its full state, its entire body dim and dull, its heart still pounding with lingering fear, its spirit weary and its will diminished.
Meng Kui sent a divine sense message, constantly calling out: “Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, if you want freedom, you must join forces with me! Do you know that Zhu Xuanji already knows about your disloyalty?”
“That Ning Zhuo is the one who harmed me!” At this point, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit could only think of the paper and the poem Ning Zhuo had given Zhu Xuanji! How could it not guess that this was Ning Zhuo’s malicious calculation!
“Are you bullying me because I don’t understand literature?!”
“Scheming against me right in front of my face. Damn it, absolutely hateful!”
Meng Kui took a deep breath and cast spells with all his might.
Two magic power hands abandoned the front line and flew towards the thunderous electric wall formed by the Connecting Chambers. They then automatically dissolved, eroding the chambers.
Technique – Present Retribution!
Karma and retribution in the world, it’s not that there is no retribution, it’s just that the time has not yet come.
