On a lone island around 1,800 kilometers away from Jiang He.
Hong Shanze, the vice-chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his face ashen. Beside him were two elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Both of them and the deceased Elder Fate belonged to his faction. Now that Elder Fate was dead and Jiang He's murderer was nowhere to be seen, Hong Shanze's mood could not have been worse.
Taking out a jade bottle gourd with a flip of his hand, he drank a few mouthfuls of alcohol and turned to look to the side.
Zhong Wanshan, who was dressed in black robes and had a vicious look on his face, was standing in a corner.
His aura had changed drastically, and his entire body was exuding intense killing intent. Just as the chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had said, Zhong Wanshan might fall to the demonic path if he did not restrain his inner demons.
Even so, Zhong Wanshan's inner demons would never be appeased if he did not kill Jiang He.
Nearby, the four full-fledged Yuan Spirit elites of the Penglai Sect and the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun, their Convergence-tier vice-chieftain.
At the moment, the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun was sitting cross-legged in front of Elder Fate's corpse, casting a spell.
Six hours had passed, and he was at the final juncture of his spell. Mystic energy quaked around his body and Dao swirled, and he suddenly opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, which floated in the air instead of landing on the ground.
Using his hand as a brush, the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun drew a talisman in the air with his blood, and it turned into a blood talisman.
The blood talisman trembled a few times in the air before instantly crumbling and vanishing.
The True Habitant of Scarlet Sun's expression changed, and he coughed out another mouthful of blood. His face turning immeasurably pale, he exclaimed in surprise, "No way! How could my secret technique fail? Unless Jiang He is not in this world. "
Zhong Wanshan frowned and said hoarsely, "Perhaps Jiang He had hidden himself in some Secret Realm?"
"Impossible!"
The True Habitant of Scarlet Sun shook his head and directed his mystic energy to recover, saying, "Whether it's a heritage site or a Secret Realm, it's ultimately a space opened in this world with great mystic energy. Even if he entered a heritage site or a Secret Realm, he would never escape my secret technique."
Still, he did not know that Jiang He's Farm was a space of its own, and he certainly could not track him since he was inside it.
Master Scarlet Sun refused to believe this. He spat out another mouthful of blood and turned it into a talisman. However, this time, the blood talisman did not dissipate. Instead, it burst into flames.
"Success!"
Master Scarlet Sun was overjoyed and said, "Quick, follow the blood talisman!"
Everyone's spirits were lifted, and Zhong Wanshan's eyes were filled with killing intent.
The blood talisman ignited and turned into a blood-red glow with a whoosh, flying towards the depths of the sea. Zhong Wanshan, Hong Shanze, Perfected Chi Yang, and the six Primordial Soul Realm cultivators from the two sects followed closely behind.
Meanwhile, Jiang He had just left his farm.
Even as he munched on sunflower seeds, he studied the Five Thunder Talisman in his hand, a thought flashing in his mind. "I wonder how effective this Five Thunder Talisman is … could it blow up the mountain-guarding array of the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect … if it could, I could throw several hundred Doom Shrooms and the Five Thunder Talisman down together, and flatten the mountain archways of those two sects, wouldn't it?"
Some experts with protective Dao Artifacts could not die from the explosions. However, those buildings would definitely not be able to withstand hundreds of Annihilation Shrooms.
That was when Jiang He's eyes flashed and he took out the jade charm Elder Mo had given him. A familiar ripple emanated once more, and Elder Mo's silhouette appeared before Jiang He.
"This voice transmission talisman is really advanced … It's equivalent to a video call, and this thing shouldn't be affected by the signal, right?"
Jiang He exclaimed inwardly.
No.
Perhaps the voice transmission talisman was affected by the signal as well, and could not be used in certain special places, such as his own farm.
Elder Mo could not help scowling when he 'saw' Jiang He munching on sunflower seeds and sitting on a stool once he picked up the voice transmission … the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were in the middle of capturing you with great fanfare, shocking the entire world of cultivators. Many secluded immortal sects, demonic sects, and ancient daemon cultivators were just watching the show.
After all, two full-fledged Yuan Spirit cultivators had died this time.
Elder Yue Ling and Elder Divinity of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect … but why would a hunted person like you be so relaxed?
How could he know what Jiang He was thinking?
Such a pursuit was child's play.
Was there any protagonist in any fantasy or xianxia novel who had not been hunted before?
According to normal plots, the protagonist would usually retaliate in desperation, improving his cultivation greatly as he was hunted, even obtaining some heaven-defying providence … and the pursuers would usually be like the Bottle Gourd Brothers trying to save their grandpa, since they would not send out heaven-defying elites at the first instance.
Jiang He would have been long gone if Sufferance-tier or Mahayana-tier elites were after him.
Elder Mo then briefly explained how the Taixu Sect chieftain had broken the array.
Delight appeared on Jiang He's face and he asked, "You mean … my array can only be broken by brute force?"
"It's not my idea, but the chieftain's."
Elder Mo had a weird look on his face as he said, "The chieftain said that your array is very interesting. He could not find any pattern within it at all, and there's no way to break it at all. He could only break it by brute force."
Pattern?
Jiang He chuckled. Why would he ask such a question in front of me?
It's too awkward.
To tell the truth, I never thought about patterns when I created my array. I don't even know what pattern my array has, so it would be weird if the chieftain of the Taixu Sect could see through it?
That was when Jiang He's heart skipped a beat.
"What's going on?"
"I'm suddenly feeling apprehensive … could the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have come?"
He quickly said, "Let's talk later, Elder Mo. I have a little problem over here that I have to deal with first."
Even as he spoke, a scarlet blood radiance was streaking toward them from the distant horizon. Behind it, many figures were streaking through the air, their overwhelming auras causing the world to change color, the winds stirred and the clouds to churn, just as the seas below churned endlessly.
"Zhong Wanshan, Hong Shanze, and the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun!"
Just as he was about to "hang up" the jade talisman communication, Elder Mo "saw" those figures.
Zhong Wanshan?
Hong Shanze?
The True Habitant of Scarlet Sun?
Jiang He blinked … feeling a little emotional.
Their names and Daoist titles were all mentioned, but he … did not know a single one of them!
No, he did know one, or at least heard of him. If he remembered correctly, Zhong Wanshan was Zhong Yue's father, was he not? A Convergence-tier elite and the vice-chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?
"Jiang He!"
"Prepare to die!"
Zhong Wanshan could see Jiang He from almost fifty kilometers away.
Killing intent erupted from his body and his eyes turned red. With a roar of rage, two flying swords shot out of his body, streaking through the air and unleashing the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array right off the bat.
What the hell!
Jiang He was taken aback.
Did that fellow take gunpowder?
Why was his killing intent so powerful?
He could sense it clearly even from almost fifty kilometers away. How much did he hate him?
How much did he hate him …
I didn't kill your wife, but all I did was teach your son a lesson. Do you have to go so far?
