Xiang Shaoyun and Lady Shura did not waste much time waiting around as they quickly left. Money was carrying them, giving them a chance to rest on his back. Xiang Shaoyun took the chance to quickly refine the ghostbloom's remaining power.

As he was busy escaping earlier and couldn't concentrate on refining its power, he had already wasted quite a bit of it. He couldn't afford to waste even more. He slowly gathered the remaining power into his filthless soul, allowing his soul to continue growing.

As for Lady Shura, she still looked pale and feeble. Her entire body had been sealed, and with her current strength, it was impossible to break free by herself. To make matters worse, the two old b.a.s.t.a.r.ds were probably capable of sensing the seal, so they might arrive at any moment. Fortunately, they hadn't gone ahead to do the deed. Otherwise, it was very possible that they would be caught while in the act.

Meanwhile, Winter Frost and Summer Flame were flying toward them at top speed. They had not expected Xiang Shaoyun to suddenly pull such a large distance from them. They had even lost him for a bit. If it wasn't for the seal on Lady Shura, they wouldn't have known where to go.

”That kid actually has a saint weapon on him. We need to get our hands on that weapon,” said Winter Frost.

”Talk about that when we catch up with the kid. He managed to tear s.p.a.ce apart when he had suddenly widened the distance between him and us. With our speed, we need at least half an hour to reach them. If they are able to remove the seal in time, I don't think we will be able to find them anymore,” said Summer Flame. They wasted no time and moved at their top speed toward Xiang Shaoyun.

As for Shang Jifeng, he had just arrived at Nisha Range with his men, but Xiang Shaoyun was nowhere to be found. The only thing he found was a frozen nether prison devil puppet.

His face turned ashen as he said, ”Has something happened to the overlord?”

The old man beside Shang Jifeng scanned the area before stroking his beard. ”Someone was killed here, his corpse completely destroyed. However, he was a few hundred years old. He is not the person you're looking for, young master.”

”Uncle Chen, help me retrieve that puppet first,” said Shang Jifeng as he got the others to spread out and search for trails of Xiang Shaoyun.

They did not find Xiang Shaoyun, but they did manage to find Zhu Changchuang who was in the midst of healing himself. He was in terrible shape, with one of his arms severed and a heavy injury that prevented him from leaving before he healed himself. After sitting him down somewhere random, the ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator had abandoned him and left with the excuse of chasing after Xiang Shaoyun.

The moment Zhu Changchuang was brought over, Shang Jifeng grabbed his collar and asked, ”Answer me, how is Xiang Shaoyun?”

A timid look appeared on Zhu Changchuang's face as he answered, ”I...I don't know...”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was slammed onto the ground, causing his wounds to burst open once again.

”You really don't know?” Shang Jifeng asked with a sinister look on his face.

After a painful yelp, Zhu Changchuang said, ”Uh, h-he left after rescuing the girl, and the two Sovereigns are chasing after him. I really don't know his current situation. Release me. I will swear my loyalty to your Overlord Legion.”

Shang Jifeng was overjoyed. He had a feeling Xiang Shaoyun was still alive. After getting someone to finish off Zhu Changchuang, he left with his men to look for Xiang Shaoyun. Zhu Changchuang was killed with his eyes wide open in indignation. He was a genius of his generation with a bright future, but because he had served a wrong master, everything ended for him.
