C.3444: Running Right into the Arms of the Enemy

“Why is it like this? We clearly saw the four divine swords already shattered back then. How are they in perfect shape? D-don’t tell me the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt didn’t perish?” The twin swords were both rather dazed. The four divine swords emerging in perfect shape had an extremely great impact on them.

When she heard what the sword spirits said at the end, Fang Jing sighed glumly. “The Nirvanic Immortal Exalt perished a long time ago. As for the four divine swords he left behind, you’re actually perfectly right. The four divine swords were indeed damaged back then, but they were not damaged as severely as you said.”

“Following the battle, the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt perished, but his four divine swords were retrieved by the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords of the twelve courts of heaven. The Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance placed the swords where the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt cultivated, beneath the source of the spring on the Divine Mountain of Immortal Suppression.”

“The source of the spring on the Divine Mountain of Immortal Suppression contains the supreme sword intent left behind by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt in the past. Under the nourishment of the supreme sword intent, coupled with the assistance from the Heavenly Emperor of Sword Radiance from the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords, the swords managed to make a full recovery.”

The sword spirits finally understood what had happened after hearing Fang Jing’s explanation, but when they received confirmation that the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt was truly dead, the two of them became depressed.

Fang Jing continued on her way through the chaotic sea with Jian Chen.

At the same time, the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild maintained his ultimate secret technique as he fled frantically through the chaotic sea. At this moment, he had clearly been frightened out of his wits already. Even though he could not sense Fang Jing’s presence anymore, he still did not dare to be careless, continuing to flee at full speed.

“She has that brush in hand, so perhaps she’s intentionally erased her presence. She might be following right behind me, just so that she can suddenly catch up when I’ve dropped my guard. If she really manages to stop me, I won’t ever be able to escape again given my current state,” thought the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild. His heart was basically sitting in his throat. He was constantly tense.

“Brother!”

At this moment, the Heartless Child’s voice rang out. The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild had already caught up to the Heartless Child at the front.

“Shut up and run. Run as quickly as you can. We’re still not out of danger right now. We need to return to the Saints’ World as quickly as possible. We’re only truly safe once we’ve returned there,” the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild said sternly. Shortly afterwards, the two of them fled in the direction of the Saints’ World.

They were getting closer and closer to the Saints’ World.

At this moment, the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild seemed to sense something. His expression immediately changed. After being momentarily taken aback, joy appeared on his face. “What a terrifying presence. It’s a Grand Exalt! There’s a Grand Exalt in the chaotic sea! Up ahead is a Grand Exalt of our Saints’ World. Quick, get closer. As long as we’re near a Grand Exalt, that woman won’t be bold enough to do anything.” The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild immediately saw hope in the clutches of despair with the appearance of a sovereign’s presence. He approached it with the Heartless Child, filled with hope.

His situation right now was far too horrible. If he were caught, that would be certain death. He could not escape a second time.

Given the situation, the two of them could only place all of their hopes on sovereigns of the Saints’ World.

“Since the brush has already returned to her hand, there’s no need for me to hide it any further. Once I meet the Grand Exalt, I’ll let them know.” The leader of the Myriad Bone Guild secretly made up his mind.

But at this moment, the chaotic sea up ahead suddenly churned. A colossal membrane swept towards the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild and the Heartless Child like a curtain that fell down from above.

The membrane moved far too quickly, such that the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild and the Heartless Child were completely unable to react. They were immediately enveloped by it.

“This presence… This is the membrane left behind after the Spirits’ World shattered!” In the world membrane, the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild immediately recognised what it was according to its presence, which left him shocked.

“Why would the world membrane of the Spiritsages appear in the chaotic sea?” The Heartless Child also paled in fright.

At that moment, the environment they resided in underwent a colossal change. The chaotic sea vanished as they arrived in a dark and empty space.

This was an independent space separated out by the world membrane, isolated from the chaos!

“You two scoundrels have actually been hiding in the chaotic sea. No wonder I could never find you in the Saints’ World.” At this moment, a voice they found extremely familiar rang out.

However, the voice was nightmarish to the two of them. It immediately made them shudder as their faces changed drastically.

An old man silently appeared before the two of them.

The old man was stalwart. He was particularly tall and large, but he did not give off any presence at all. Even the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild and the Heartless Child could only detect his existence through looking at him. If they shut their eyes, there was absolutely nothing in their senses.

“The Wind Venerable!” the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild and the Heartless Child blurted out simultaneously.

Their faces immediately paled. The glimmer of hope that had just risen up in them completely vanished at this moment.

They were not the Wind Venerable’s opponent even when they were at their peak conditions, let alone now when they were heavily injured.

But in the next moment, the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild sensed something. His eyes suddenly narrowed as his gaze became filled with shock. He could not help but stagger backwards, crying out hysterically with a trembling voice of disbelief, “Y-y-you’ve become a Grand Exalt? You’ve actually become a Grand Exalt…. No-no… this is impossible… this is impossible…”

At that moment, the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild felt his strength vanish from his body. He almost fell back on his bottom.

When the Heartless Child heard that, he was shocked as well. He was completely dumbfounded.

The Wind Venerable glanced past the sovereign god artifacts that the Heartless Child and the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild had used to protect themselves. His gaze immediately turned cold as he said frigidly, “You two scoundrels sure have collected quite a lot of sovereign god artifacts that originally belonged to the Spiritsages.”

There was a strong killing intent in his voice.

When they heard that, both the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild and the Heartless Child paled in fright.

But shortly afterwards, the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild and the Heartless Child tossed out their sovereign god artifacts while proactively severing their connection with them.

That was not all. After tossing out their protective god artifacts, they took out a great pile of sovereign god artifacts from their Space Rings too. There were actually eight or nine in total.

Without any exceptions, all of these sovereign god artifacts were left behind by past sovereigns of the Spirits’ World. They were remnants of a major world, having been passed down over countless years. However, most of them had sustained some damage.

“We’re willing to return all of the treasures, just so senior Feng can show us mercy and spare us for the mistakes we made in the past.” The Heartless Child and the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild immediately submitted and began to beg for their lives.

The Wind Venerable had already become a sovereign. His title as a sovereign directly pierced all of their thoughts of resistance like a sharp blade.

Faced with a sovereign, they could not flee at all. Compared to that, they were better off admitting their mistakes. Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.

“Do you think returning these items will lessen the heinous crimes you committed in the past? You both think about this too simply.” The Wind Venerable was unfazed. His face was icy.

Suddenly, the Wind Venerable’s expression changed slightly. He glanced at the depths of the chaotic sea and frowned. “I’ll deal with the two of you a little later. I’ll let you live for a bit longer.”

With that, the Wind Venerable vanished. When he appeared again, he had already arrived in another region within the world membrane.

A formation erupted with terrifying might there, refining Daowei Fatian at full strength.

Anatta, the Ice Goddess, Overarching Heavens, and Bloodtear sat in the surroundings.

“The experts of the Immortals’ World and Demons’ World have come. I even sense the presence from the Nirvanic Immortal Exalts’ four divine swords. The world membrane can’t trap all these people, so you need to go and repel them one by one,” the Wind Venerable appeared and said to the four people present sternly.

At the same time, a gate opened in the world membrane, directly leading to the chaotic sea.

“Among the four from the Immortals’ World and Demons’ World, Samsaric is the strongest. Leave the four divine swords and Samsaric to me.” The Anatta Grand Exalt immediately vanished. When she reappeared, she was already standing in the chaotic sea.

“Anatta’s injuries, sigh…” The Overarching Heaven Grand Exalt and the Bloodtear Grand Exalt looked at Anatta’s figure. Both of them were worried.

Without the Anatta Grand Exalt, they definitely could not hold off the experts of the two other worlds. If she fell, then the consequences would be unthinkable.

At this moment, the two of them truly began to worry for the Anatta Grand Exalt.
