Chapter 1741: Guan Ziqing’s Death

As soon as the Yulin Sect was invaded, the third tier Elysium True Immortal who had always been stationed inside the Elysium sensed it immediately.

However, to cooperate with Guanzi Qing's manipulation of the world, he had to remain in the Elysium. He needed to maintain the connection of the essence of his Elysium and the World Origin Source of the continent. The moment he left, the flow of energy would be affected.

Therefore, after informing the other True Immortals of the sect to defend against the enemy, he did not leave the Elysium immediately.

Yet, the strength of the invading enemy far exceeded their expectations. The foreign expert whose aura was barely in the Martial Void Realm unleashed terrifying combat power at the level of a sixth tier True Immortal! Moreover, he seemed to have prepared a whole bunch of tactics to deal with them.

"Is our World’s Will suppression on outsiders really this weak?!”

That was the doubt in the mind of the True Immortals of the Yulin Sect.

But they didn't really need an answer, as they were well aware of the reason themselves.

Most of the Spirit Tip World's world origin had been depleted, severely weakening the World’s Will. That was probably the reason behind the weak suppression of the foreign cultivator.

Knowing the reason was one thing; witnessing it firsthand was another. Experiencing it was unacceptable.

But it was already too late. Kou Chongxue had penetrated deep into the Yulin Sect and his sword that contained all his might slammed into the Yulin Elysium.

The third tier Elysium True Immortal didn’t move to stop him, and staying within the Elysium was actually his best option.

Without the personal oversight of an Elysium True Immortal, the Yulin Elysium would have crumbled already. A defenseless Elysium would be like a delicate vase under Kou Chongxue’s sword.

Still, with the full effort of the third tier Elysium True Immortal, he only managed to barely preserve the spatial stability of the Elysium.

However, the spatial barrier that protected it couldn’t restore itself and its condition even seemed to be worsening.

At this critical moment, the third tier Elysium True Immortal did not hesitate to retract the portion of energy supplied to Guanzi Qing before drawing on world origin to stabilize the Yulin Elysium. He mended the damaged spatial barrier while also preparing to fend off a second strike from Kou Chongxue.

Since the arrangement of energy supplied to Guan Ziqing was affected, the disturbance it caused was so huge that every high-level expert in the Spirit Tip World felt the change. Even Kou Chongxue, a foreign True Immortal, discovered the change.

With his goal achieved, Kou Chongxue did not hesitate further and immediately withdrew from the Yulin Sect.

The other True Immortals initially wanted to give chase, but they stopped in agreement after Kou Chongxue exited the sect. They focused all their efforts on healing the breach in their grand formation and its restoration.

Kou Chongxue was like a startled rabbit when he ran from the Yulin Sect. The second he emerged from their territory, he activated another Six Direction Teleportation Talisman. He appeared outside the heavenly screen, and he ran into the depths of the void without looking back.

After running tens of thousands of miles, Kou Chongxue stopped in shock and turned back to look at the Spirit Tip World.

Huh?

The anticipated scenario where an enraged Guanzi Qing returned from the chaotic streams to chase him did not happen.

Kou Chongxue was certain that his strike had alarmed the Yulin Sect. When he left, he could clearly sense the shift in deployment of energy. There was no doubt that the Yulin Sect’s Elysium True Immortal had withdrawn his support for Guan Ziqing.

Since the Yulin Sect’s Elysium True Immortal prioritized the protection of his sect’s heritage, ignoring Guan Ziqing’s plight instinctively, there should be a change in the situation!

However... Guanzi Qing did not withdraw.

Did he not want to withdraw, or was he unable to?

In such a situation, with his home under attack, his combat strength should have been greatly affected.

If he didn’t wish to come back, that would mean that he was prepared to fight to the death. If he wasn’t able to return, it was possible that a change had happened in the battle taking place.

Whatever it was, Kou Chongxue cautiously retreated an additional million miles in the void for safety.

During the process, he once again concealed his aura, camouflaged his form, and even used Concealment Talismans. After all, he narrowly avoided meeting several True Immortals when entering the Spirit Tip World...

Since he attacked the Yulin Sect, those True Immortals patrolling the boundary of their space would undoubtedly be returning.

With so many layers of concealment, Kou Chongxue wasn’t afraid that Guan Ziqing would return. Even if Guan Ziqing returned, he wouldn’t be able to accurately locate him, and he was no longer in a hurry to leave.

After distancing himself sufficiently from the Spirit Tip World's heavenly screen, Kou Chongxue's personal combat power returned to the peak of the sixth tier. He no longer feared anyone from the Spirit Tip World.

While Kou Chongxue was still monitoring the Spirit Tip World, suddenly a tear appeared deep in the void in a certain direction before a surge of chaotic energy emerged. It nearly filled the entire space around the Spirit Tip World.

"Are these the chaotic streams?" Kou Chongxue paused, focusing his gaze on the tear. He suddenly felt the energy of the Spirit Tip World retracting rapidly and returning to the world.

Although the time was very short, Kou Chongxue clearly sensed that the rapidly retreating energy of the Spirit Tip World was no longer as unified as before.

Raising his eyebrow, Kou Chongxue sighed softly. “Guan Ziqing...

Ah

, it’s too late, the Spirit Tip World is probably in danger now!”

Turning to leave, Kou Chongxue returned to the Heaven Observation Field without even turning back.

...

In the chaotic streams, where the 3 Sages were fighting, Guan Ziqing was nowhere to be seen. Only Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar and Yan Yu’s projection looked at each other, with neither prepared to engage in further combat.

"Sage Shang... What great schemes!” Yan Yu's projection spoke with a booming voice that even affected the surrounding chaotic streams. "With just a single sentence, you stopped him from fighting to the death and return to his world to await death.”

The ethereal figure of Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar didn’t draw on any more Seven Star Qi from his true body. Instead, he didn’t even care that the Void Lotus in his chest was revealed. He simply chuckled in response, “Sage Yan Yu... You’re exaggerating. It’s not me who has great schemes. You’re sitting at the sidelines and even if you lose this battle, you will still gain the most! You should be the greatest winner this time!”

Yan Yu's projection roared with laughter. "Since we obtained what we needed... Till we meet again!”

Cupping his fists casually, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar muttered, “Till we meet again.”
