Immortal of the Nine Realms

"How many days do you need?" asked Fang Chen, glancing at his pursuer.

The situation hadn't critically escalated yet. Even though his pursuer was on his tail, he couldn't find him, so his attacks wouldn't be able to reach him; however, if they carried on like this for a few more days, things could grow problematic.

The Shadow Buddha Technique consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Even though Fang Chen's spiritual energy reserves were much deeper than that of an ordinary 12th stage Qi Refining Realm cultivator, he still had his limits. He will inevitably be forced out of the shadows for a while.

Fang Chen didn't fear a grand completion stage Foundation Building Realm cultivator. What he feared was the personal intervention of the Demon Cloud Emperor. That was a Golden Core Realm cultivator, it would only take him a moment to kill Fang Chen.

Profound White Divine Monarch was confused. "What kind of concealment technique is he using?"

He could sense that he had caught up to the opponent, but he couldn't find him.

Was this a hidden technique? An Illusion technique? No, he didn't believe he would fall for an illusion technique that a Qi Refining Realm cultivator employed. He simply couldn't have that kind of ability.

"Doesn't matter."

Profound White Divine Monarch pointed in a certain direction.

A flying sword pierced through the air and plunged deeply into the ground before soaring into the sky a few breaths later.

Profound White Divine Monarch was sure that he had pierced where the opponent was; however, strangely his sword hadn't managed to hit anything and only slashed through the air.

Profound White Divine Monarch's brows locked.

This was the first time he encountered such a situation. The opponent would've already managed to escape by now if he hadn't had the spiritual material of the Demonic Suppression Wheel.

"What kind of technique is so elusive?" Profound White Divine Monarch pondered incessantly.

In the end, Profound White Divine Monarch decided to ignite a voice transmission talisman.

“Your Majesty, I have failed in my task. Although I can sense the whereabouts of this individual, I cannot pinpoint his exact location.His technique is extraordinary. If possible, I request your personal intervention."

What Profound White Divine Monarch did was generally taboo, as it meant that he was admitting to his inability. However, every action he did was carefully considered. After all, if he really lost track of the enemy, he wouldn't end up with just a few reprimands. Not only was the Demonic Suppression Wheel priceless, but the enemy's technique held immense value as well!

"You continue following him for now. I am already on my way," transmitted the Demon Cloud Emperor.

Profound White Divine Monarch immediately felt relieved. He had been following Fang Chen all along, and although the opponent's movements were elusive like a ghost, he wasn't fast, so it was quite easy for him to follow behind.

Unknowingly, two days passed.

Fang Chen was getting closer to his destination.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion from up ahead.

"Senior Brother, you take the Snake Spirit Fruit and leave first. We'll stay behind and hold the line. If Master heals his injuries, please tell him to avenge us!" said a young girl.

The young girl was littered with sword words. Even her cheeks were cut open.

The others with her were roughed up too. They were being besieged by several Foundation Building Realm cultivators, who were toying with them like cats playing with mice.

A touch of sadness appeared on the young man's face. "Junior Sister, Junior Brother. We can't escape."

“Little girl, looks like your senior brother sees the situation clearly. If your group of little Qi Refining Realm cultivators manages to escape from us, where would we dare to show ourselves in the Demon Cloud Empire?”

Another Foundation Building Realm cultivator sneered. "Hehehe, why don't we give you a chance? If you can put on a great show for us, we'll let you live. How about that?"

He pointed at the young man and then at the young girl. "You two are the stars of the show."

"You villains!" The young girl flushed red with anger. She would rather die than suffer this humiliation!

The several Foundation Building cultivators laughed arrogantly.

"You're not willing? Then we'll have a good time with you two."

In the next moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the void before a flash of silver passed by.

The smiles on the faces of the Foundation building Realm cultivators froze.

The figure disappeared again.

In the sky, Profound White Divine Monarch frowned slightly. The opponent just appeared and killed several Foundation Building Realm cultivators on a whim. How could this be a Qi Refining Realm cultivator?

Profound White Divine Monarch's expression grew serious. "Something's wrong here. This person is not a Qi Refining Realm cultivator at all, he is at least at the mid to late stage Foundation Building Realm."

The Foundation Building Realm cultivators who had died were all in the early stage. He had to be at the mid to late-stage Foundation Building Realm if he had been able to kill them so easily like this. He couldn't be at the same stage as them. It would've been impossible for him to kill them this easily if that was the case.

A cold wind blew by as the Foundation Building Realm cultivators fell to the ground, blood gushing from their foreheads, mixed with white and pink.

The young man, the young girl, and the several other cultivators all looked puzzled.

What just happened?

Did that figure just kill those demonic cultivators for them?

"S-senior brother, we're saved!?" said the young girl in disbelief.

The young man nodded heavily. "Yes, we've been saved. If I'm not mistaken, the one who helped us should be the same person who killed the Divine Monarch outside Dragon Ridge City. He's also that person who participated in the auction with us."

"I thought we were going to die here...." muttered the young girl, relieved and grateful to make it out alive from this calamity.

"We guessed correctly back then. This senior intentionally saved those three hundred boys and girls," said the young man, his eyes showing respect. He bowed in the direction where Fang Chen had disappeared.

The young girl and others also bowed in respect.

After a while, the young man lowered his voice and said, "Let's take their belongings and leave this place. There's something wrong with that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. They might have colluded with the demon cultivators here."

"No way!"

The young man sneered. "How else would they know we had the Snake Spirit Fruits? Let's wait until Master's injuries are healed, we'll see how he handles this."

"We must ask him to help us vent out our frustrations!"

The young girl and others looked full of resentment.

Several more days passed.

Profound White Divine Monarch's brow scrunched up. "I can't sense him anymore. Does that mean that he completely destroyed the Demonic Suppression Wheel?"

The Demonic Suppression Wheel was a peak-grade, yellow-rank treasure. Even a Foundation Building Realm cultivator would find it very difficult to destroy it, right?

Yet, strangely, this person had been able to destroy it in just a couple of days. This was completely unheard of!

"The Demonic Suppression Wheel has been destroyed," a voice sounded near Profound White Divine Monarch.

Profound White Divine Monarch turned around and bowed without any hesitation.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

The newcomer was an old man wearing a pair of straw sandals. He had hair like a crane, a youthful face, and a very kind and benevolent demeanor.

The old man nodded gently. "This is where the aura last was. I believe this person shouldn't have fled too far. I have deployed several Divine Monarchs to come out and search for him."

Profound White Divine Monarch nodded slowly. "In that case, he won't be escaping from your grasp."
