Not long after the young Daoist left, the faraway void broke apart.
As the zither music lingered, a figure appeared. It was the Lofty Sovereign – Zhang Buxu.
His gaze was slightly hesitant. He scanned his surroundings and carefully sensed for a moment. Then, he seemed to have sensed something and looked towards the direction where the young Daoist left.
"Prime Clear successor, but without the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture's concept …"
However, Zhang Buxu quickly frowned and let out a light snort.
Then, a light smoke gradually arose from the void. After the smoke dispersed, a rune was revealed.
Zhang Buxu squinted his eyes. He extended his finger and lightly tapped on the rune.
The rune that had lost its concealment effect instantly unfolded and transformed into a screen of light. Numerous runes lit up on the screen, transmitting information.
Nie Jingshen left Yan Zhaoge and the others with a simple explanation of their whereabouts.
After browsing through it, Zhang Buxu's expression was a little surprised. His expression was both joyful and cautious. He seemed to be suspecting the authenticity of the information and was worried that someone was intentionally misleading him.
However, in the end, Zhang Buxu still retracted the stream of light, causing it to revert back to a rune.
Then, he controlled his sword-light and continued chasing after the rune according to the clues provided by it!
…
By the border of the tranquil stream, Nie Jingshen brought Yu Ye along with him and carefully avoided the void domain that was corroded by the Nine Underworlds' devilish qi.
Yu Ye's injuries were extremely severe. Not to mention the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture, she couldn't even use her other martial arts. She couldn't fight against anyone. Nie Jingshen could only bring her along and continuously teleport to avoid trouble.
If Zhang Buxu and the Immortal Court's people couldn't find them, they might be able to wait for Yan Zhaoge and the others' reinforcements.
However, at that moment, the life-threatening zither music resounded once again!
The originally melodious zither music seemed to have resounded from the netherworld, reaping away one's life.
Yu Ye, who was previously meditating, opened her eyes in shock.
Nie Jingshen's expression was cold. He stared at the faraway void, where a figure gradually appeared.
It was the Lofty Sovereign – Zhang Buxu!
He looked at Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye's silhouettes. A complicated expression flashed across his eyes, which he quickly retracted, "So this is the will of the heavens!"
Nie Jingshen stared at Zhang Buxu's palm. On top of his palm, there was a rune floating in mid-air. That should have been the clue that he had left for Yan Zhaoge and the others, so that Yan Zhaoge and the others could reinforce them as soon as possible.
Who would've thought that it would fall into Zhang Buxu's hands.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Zhang Buxu to discover this talisman.
Even if he had discovered it, he shouldn't have been able to decipher it in such a short time.
After all, Yan Zhaoge, Gao Qingxuan, and the others who had set up the seal weren't ordinary people.
Furthermore, it was only before the Water Devil and Earth Devil wreaked havoc that the unique secret art that could locate the runic seals and decipher them was finally determined.
In the Awakened Sky Cosmos, only a few people in the Sky beyond Heaven and the Roving Jade Heavens knew about it.
But this did not include Zhang Buxu!
Even the Vine Sovereign, Li Ying, didn't know about it due to the inconvenience of contacting them previously, let alone Zhang Buxu, who had left the Roving Jade Heavens many years ago.
Unfortunately, Nie Jingshen did not have the time to think about how Zhang Buxu managed to master the seal.
He had already brought Yu Ye along and fled in the opposite direction.
Similarly, Zhang Buxu did not speak much. He immediately played his zither and brandished his sword. Rays of sword light immediately slashed towards Nie Jingshen and Zhang Buxu.
Nie Jingshen forcefully parried the attacks. However, while he had to take care of Yu Ye, he was also heavily injured. Facing Zhang Buxu, a Profound Immortal with Four Qis Fused Aura by himself, was still beyond his capabilities.
Especially since Zhang Buxu also cultivated the Immortal Trapping Sword Scripture, which allowed him to slash through the void with extreme speed.
If he did not manage to catch up to them, Nie Jingshen and Zhang Buxu could still evade his attacks.
Now that they were completely exposed in his sight, it would be difficult for them to escape. Unless their speed was faster than Zhang Buxu's, or if something unexpected happened to obstruct Zhang Buxu's path.
Right now, Nie Jingshen had no other ideas. Seeing the omnipresent dark-red sword-lights descending upon the two of them, he could only bring Yu Ye along and hide in the nearby Land of tranquil streams.
Seeing this, Zhang Buxu frowned.
If they entered the Nine Underworlds, while Nie Jingshen and Zhang Buxu were heavily injured, he would still be obstructed if he wanted to pursue them.
As such, Zhang Buxu was not slow at all. He immediately chased after them and entered the Land of Tranquil Stream.
The Land of Tranquil Stream was extremely vast.
Even a Profound Immortal Pinnacle expert like Zhang Buxu would feel that it was boundless and boundless.
Nie Jingshen and Zhang Buxu traversed through the Land of Tranquil Stream, constantly changing their direction like fish swimming in water.
However, the Lofty Sovereign, Zhang Buxu, followed closely behind them, not giving them the chance to shake him off.
One side fought, while the other ran. They fought and stopped for a long time.
Nie Jingshen and Zhang Buxu were still unable to shake him off.
Bewitching and soul-stirring cries resounded in their ears. The cries grew louder and louder, until they were almost deafening.
The dim radiance in front of them gradually dispersed. Black mists pervaded the air, faintly flickering with sinister blood-red luster.
As they chased and fled, the three gradually arrived at the other boundary of the Land of Tranquil Stream.
Nearing the true Nine Underworlds.
Nie Jingshen's expression was solemn as he faced Zhang Buxu's overwhelming attacks.
Just as the situation turned dire, Nie Jingshen's expression suddenly changed.
Zhang Buxu, who was in front of him, suddenly had a gloomy expression. His heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Behind him, a powerful aura was rapidly approaching.
Within the pitch-black Land of Tranquil Stream, radiance suddenly shone. It was as if the darkness of the Desolation Plains had appeared, splitting the heavens and earth apart.
A majestic and domineering sword-light approached from afar, instantly slashing towards Zhang Buxu's back.
Sword-lights intertwined around Zhang Buxu's body and revolved around him, defending against this majestic sword.
The one who unleashed the sword was a middle-aged man with a high crown and ancient attire. His entire body was like a heaven-splitting sword. However, he didn't reveal his sharpness. He simply stood there, as if he was a lone peak that reached the clouds, causing others to look up to him.
Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye both let out a long sigh of relief, "Master!" "Sword Sovereign!"
The person who came was Yue Zhenbei, who was previously separated from them!
"Jingshen, why are you so careless? You didn't disguise your marks according to the agreement. Aren't you telling Zhang Buxu your whereabouts?" said Yue Zhenbei with dissatisfaction as he continuously attacked Zhang Buxu, helping Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye out of their predicament.
He was wandering around alone. Unintentionally, he discovered the other rune left behind by Nie Jingshen. After understanding the situation, he quickly followed the clues to their whereabouts.
"I have a concealment rune." Nie Jingshen's expression was unprecedentedly unsightly, "There must be another reason behind this!"
Yue Zhenbei frowned. However, he knew that now wasn't the time to delve into it.
"You guys leave first." Yue Zhenbei shook his head. Sword-lights filled the sky, and he attacked Zhang Buxu first.
Clanging sounds of swords resounded in the sky, cutting off the zither's melody.
