Chapter 50: The Choice of Hongyun

Zhenyuanzi turned around and left for closed-door meditation, trying to make another separation. Hongyun was happy for him, just like how he felt for his getting Hong Meng Immortal Qi. The two were more than brothers. Zhenyuanzi was anxious to go into closed-door meditation, mainly because he wanted to improve his strength to help Hongyun.

However, Hongyun looked at his back with a complex expression, murmuring, ”Zhenyuanzi, I wonder if we'll meet again. It's my own business, so I really don't want to drag you into trouble. If I will be alive, let's chat as usual.”

It seemed like a farewell. Before long, he left the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple quietly without telling Zhenyuanzi and his child attendant. Without being noticed, Hongyun left the protection formation outside, only leaving a Jade Slip with a recorded voice message.

Actually, Hongyun had no choice but to leave. During these years, he tried hard on Hong Meng Immortal Qi but hadn't got any enlightenment. Yet, recently, Hong Meng Immortal Qi was beating violently in his Original Spirit, seemingly to express some kind of message. He had no idea whether it was a blessing or misfortune.

The misfortune would be that those eyeing him were about to take action. He and Zhenyuanzi could handle it when facing a few, but probably the Wu Tribe and the Demon Tribe wouldn't miss the chance to rob him as well. Under such circumstances, he would have no chance to survive.

So why drag Zhenyuanzi to death? During these tens of thousands of years, Hongyun had only one confidant that was willing to accompany him at risk of his life. Yet, Hongyun would feel guilty if he put Zhenyuanzi at risk. So, he had better go. As long as he left, Zhenyuanzi would be safe.

The blessing would be the arrival of his Fated Chance. If he could take this chance to become the Sage, all the pressure he faced now would be nothing. Yet it was not a long-term option to stay in Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, because he would miss it if his chance was somewhere else.

Anyhow, Hongyun chose to leave. Though he was aware that the latter was far less likely than the former, he wouldn't give up if there was a slight chance. He had no choice but to take a risk.

Outside the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, most of those eyed at Hongyun were Zenith Heaven Immortals, spreading in all directions, in the sky, under the ground, in the hills and trees, in everywhere. That could be called a heaven net. As long as Hongyun came out, he would be spotted.

Suddenly, the dramatic supernatural power caught everyone's attention. Someone shouted, ”Hongyun ran, go for him!” When those Individual Cultivators came, they only found several dead bodies lying on the ground. Not far away, a piece of red cloud was escaping away fast.

Those Individual Cultivators were at instantaneously aware that it was Hongyun Ancestor. Only he could turn into a red cloud in the Untainted Land. What was more, those bodies on the ground were all Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. Though it was a sneak attack, to kill several Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals with a single stroke required one to have at least a level of Sage-to-be cultivation. Therefore, the red cloud must be made by Hongyun Ancestor.

The red cloud flew very fast, tens of thousand miles in a single breath. The Individual Cultivators hurried to use their magic skills, like mount the cloud and fog and driving the Magic Weapons. They were like shooting stars, chasing after the red cloud. Yet, they were far behind and the red cloud was almost out of sight.

Suddenly, several Magic Weapons appeared in front of the red cloud and blocked its way. The red cloud turned in to a human shape that was Hongyun Ancestor. He was full of anger and asked, ”Which Fellow Taoists? Why block my way?”
