Chapter 2196 - Gu Daozi

As long as those disciples did not go too far away from the city, they would not have to worry about any threat from Tang Huan.

Although he was unable to catch Tang Huan after such a long time, Yuan Chao was after all, the third strongest on the revered list, his strength was still far above Tang Huan. It would be fine if Tang Huan did not come but she did not come.

It had to be said that under the condition of not giving up on the original plan due to Tang Huan's threat, Yuan Chao's method was indeed the most suitable one for the Clear Void Dao Pavilion.

However, Yuan Chao and Fu Anguo received an unfortunate piece of news the moment they returned to the Upper Qing City.

The group of cultivators heading down the 36th day originally planned to use the ancient transfer array of Star City to leave the Flying Star City and then enter the Dark Space from the Big Dipper. This would save a lot of time. However, before that team even reached Star City, they were intercepted and killed.

The one who took action, was not Tang Huan, but the similarly long-lost Sky Sovereign Liu Li.

In an instant, it was destroyed by Empyrean Liu-Li's hands. The remaining cultivators fled with all their might, and it was a good thing that after Liu Li killed the Heavenly Emperor Elder, she did not continue to attack. Only then did the other Clear Void Dao Pavilion cultivators manage to escape this calamity.

Upon hearing this news, the entire Clear Void Dao Pavilion was filled with indignation, while Yuan Chao was even more infuriated.

Due to his rage, Yuan Chao had the urge to head there personally for the next thirty-six days.

However, Yuan Chao suppressed that thought in the end.

He knew very well that it was very possible that Tang Huan was hiding somewhere outside of Shang Qing City. Once she left the city, Tang Huan would probably be able to detect him before long. The number one on the leaderboard, Gu Daozi, was not here, and without him, the Great Clan Elder, no one in the Clear Void Dao Pavilion could suppress Tang Huan.

Once Tang Huan went all out to kill them, it was unknown how many cultivators from the Clear Void Dao Pavilion would be scared to death.

Even if everyone hid within the sect, it wouldn't be safe. Back then, Yuan Chao had personally witnessed Tang Huan passing through the spatial barrier in the sect's encampment. With Tang Huan's methods, even if the entrance of the sect was sealed, he could still enter and kill without restraint.

If he wanted to guard against Tang Huan's wanton actions, he could only continue to stay in Qing City.

In a situation where he could not leave, sending another group of disciples to the Green Void Sect for the next thirty-six days was equivalent to wasting his time. If he sent a team out, Tang Huan and Liu Li would probably be able to intercept and kill one of them, even with Pavilion Master Wei Xuan Ji's team, he had no hope of succeeding.

Because, no matter if it was Tang Huan or Liu Li, Wei Xuanji should not be a match for them.

”Can it be that we can only give up here?”

Yuan Chao sat cross-legged in the center of the city within the magnificent palace. His eyes were cold and filled with extreme unwillingness.

If he gave up, it would mean that he would no longer be able to obtain that secret from Tang Huan.

That was not an ordinary secret, but it was related to whether or not he could prove the Divine Throne. How could he be willing to give up like this? However, Tang Huan and Liu Li's cooperation had basically cut off all possibility of him continuing to capture Tang Huan's relatives and friends, threatening them, and deducing their whereabouts.

Inside palace, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The sound from inside the city was completely cut off from the outside world.
