Chapter 461: Wu Langxie

BOOM!

Meng Qing was thrown to the ground and collapsed. It had only been a few minutes since he had fled, yet he looked like he was now suffering from a fatal disease.

Under Zhen Huilan and Zhu Bin’s longing gazes, Wu Langxie, who was floating in midair, slowly shook his head and said, “I ran through his memories of the past year with my soul transmitting technique, but I didn’t find any connection between him and Zhao Shanling.”

Eyebrows furrowed, Zhu Bin sighed and said, “Then it seems that he was telling the truth… But the situation over on the sectmaster’s front doesn’t look good. If we can’t find Zhao Shanling soon, I’m afraid...”

The burly, mountain-like Wu Langxie gazed off towards the cluster of volcanoes where powerful experts from the Flame God Sect were bustling, and said in a low voice, “If there’s no other way, I’ll go and challenge the Flame God, Xia Yi.”

“Don’t!” Zhu Bin said hastily. “I know you’re very powerful, Mr. Wu. However, you’re only at the early Soul realm, which is inferior to Xia Yi’s cultivation base. I believe that you would have a fair chance at beating him if you were at the same cultivation level as him. But the thing is... you’re not.”

Zhen Huilan chimed in by saying, “He’s right. Only when my eldest martial brother has finished with the Death Reign will he be able to go over there and deal with Xia Yi. Langxie, you’re not far from entering the middle Soul realm. If you insist on fighting Xia Yi now, you’ll probably suffer heavy injuries and a setback in your cultivation. You’d better wait till you enter the middle Soul realm to fight him.”

Wu Langxie frowned. “If we sit back and let Xia Yi collect the earthflame essence he needs, he might soon make another breakthrough and enter the late Soul realm. Once he does, perhaps no one in the Domain of the Falling Stars will be able to contend against him. Even though the patriarch of the Heaven Palace Sect is also at the late Soul realm, their current sectmaster Zhao Luofeng...”

With these words, he grew silent.

As soon as the Heaven Palace Sect’s sectmaster was mentioned, both Zhu Bin and Zhen Huilan frowned deeply.

After a moment of pondering, Zhen Huilan turned to look at the weak Meng Qing and his Profound realm friend, who was as silent as a cicada in cold weather. With a wave of her hand, she said, “Nothing here concerns you anymore. You can go now.”

After being carried back to this location, Meng Qing had discovered that his Bone Giant was gone, along with Li Jing and Shen Xiu, which frustrated him greatly.

However, he hadn’t dared to say a word, but rather hung his head silently.

At this moment, upon hearing Zhen Huilan’s words, he felt as if he were pardoned from a death sentence, and thus planned to leave this place of trouble as quickly as possible.

“Don’t you try to mess with the Blood Sect again.” Zhen Huilan said with a cold snort. “Otherwise, I won’t let you off as easily.”

The Profound realm cultivator who practiced metal power hastily said, “We’ll leave the Realm of Unbounded Desolation as quickly as possible.”

Bitterness filled Meng Qing’s face as he said, “We wouldn’t be able to even if we wanted to.”

Having lost his Bone Giant and having had his soul badly injured by Wu Langxie with his soul transmitting technique, his battle prowess had dropped to only forty percent of his peak state.

If he were to encounter Li Jing in such a poor condition, he would turn around and leave without any hesitation. It seemed that Zhen Huilan also knew that Meng Qing would no longer be a threat to Li Jing. Hence, she ordered impatiently, “Get as far away from here as possible.”

Hearing these words, Meng Qing and the other man nodded and hastily fled in the opposite direction that Li Jing had left in.

After they were gone, Zhu Bin resumed their previous topic by saying, “I sent word to the Heaven Palace Sect soon after Zhao Shanling appeared. Zhao Luofeng only replied with one sentence.”

“What did he say?” Zhen Huilan asked.

Zhu Bin smiled bitterly. “He said, ‘Are you really considering killing my little brother?’ Back when Zhao Shanling brought misery and suffering to the Realm of Unbounded Desolation many years ago, all Zhao Luofeng did was stay out of it. After all, Zhao Shanling is his younger brother. It’s not realistic to expect the Heaven Palace Sect to help us.”

“From the look of it, finding that traitor is the only way,” Zhen Huilan said with a sigh.

“It seems that we’ve come to a dead end here. I’ll go search in other regions.” With these words, Zhu Bin sped away through the air, frustration filling his face.

“I’ll set off too,” Wu Langxie said.

Zhen Huilan nodded gently, but just as he was about to fly away, she said, “Wait, Langxie...”

Wu Langxie turn his head back. “What?”
