Chapter 1728: Escape

While Xiao Sheng was resting on Cultivation Mountain, news of this legendary battle had already spread throughout the entire Nanzhou.

Xiao Sheng managed to kill a Reversion Void Stage cultivator as a half-step Reversion Void Stage cultivator. Such a feat was truly admirable!

“I knew it. It seems Xiao Sheng is still as domineering as he was in the past!”

“It seems that Yuan Xiu isn’t so bada*s after all, haha.”

“Qu Zhu and Wen Wanchong were the last to step in, yet it was also extremely crucial. Without them, I’m afraid Nanzhou would be in danger.”

The crowd joined in a heated discussion.

Right at this moment, Xiao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and sat up cross-legged.

He had a bad feeling about this.

“Yuan Xiu?” These two words came out of Xiao Sheng’s mouth. Then, he suddenly stood up and left Cultivation Mountain.

Not long after, Yuan Xiu arrived at Tianyun Sect again.

However, he kept a low profile this time. He only released his divine sense in Tianyun Sect to search for Xiao Sheng.

“He’s actually not here?” Yuan Xiu frowned.

He looked around and was silent for a moment. In the end, he decided to return to North Plain for the time being.

It was now in North Plain.

This clone of Yuan Xiu was currently staring coldly at He Teng, Sima Bei, and the other Yuan Xiu.

“Xiao Sheng must die,” after a while, Yuan Xiu coldly spluttered.

Sima Bei and the others looked taut, not daring to say a word.

The strength that Xiao Sheng had displayed today had already made them feel fear, and even Yuan Xiu felt the same.

“Go to Nanzhou now. Do whatever you can to find Xiao Sheng,” Yuan Xiu said coldly.

At this moment, Yong Ji suddenly said, “We can consider using others to bump him off. Didn’t Xihuang say that they were going to get rid of Nanzhou?”

Yuan Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Yong Ji.

After a moment of silence, he said, “Sure. You go to Xihuang. Sima Bei and He Teng will go to Nanzhou to find Xiao Sheng.”

“Yes.” The three of them nodded in unison.

Yong Ji couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

He’d never want to set foot in Nanzhou again.

Even if he did find Xiao Sheng, he was worried he would be killed.

Thus, the three of them split up and left North Plain.

…

It was now in Xihuang.

Qin Yu was waiting for the old man in the teahouse.

Soon, the old man walked into the teahouse with Chao Shou.

The two of them walked all the way to Qin Yu and sat down opposite him.

Seeing the old man, Qin Yu slightly bowed as a greeting.

Then, the old man pointed at Chao Shou, who was beside him, and said with a smile, “Qin Yu, if you have anything you want to know, you can ask him. He knows Pilgrimage City very well.

“Thank you.” Qin Yu nodded.

“Then I’ll leave you alone. You two take your time,” the old man said with a smile.

After saying this, the old man turned around and left.

After he left, Chao Shou looked at Qin Yu and said indifferently, “I take it you want to know how cultivation works in Pilgrimage City, right?”

Qin Yu said yes and continued, “I didn’t sense any rich spiritual energy after I came to Xihuang. It’s hard to produce many Return To Void Stage cultivators in such an environment in a short time.”

“Why do you want to know all this?” Chao Shou asked with a hint of amusement.

Qin Yu didn’t try to hide it. He smiled and said, “To be honest, I came to Xihuang to find dark energy.”

“How do you know that there is dark energy in Xihuang? Why is there dark energy here?” Chao Shou half smiled and asked.

Qin Yu frowned.

He suddenly felt that the man in front of him was a little strange, but he could not put his finger on it yet.

“I heard it from others but I didn’t see it in Pilgrimage City,” Qin Yu said in a deep voice.

After saying that, Qin Yu glanced at Chao Shou and found that there was no dark energy circulating in Chao Shou’s body.

“I think I might have come to the wrong place. It seems that Pilgrimage City doesn’t need dark energy,” Qin Yu said.

Chao Shou raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, “Oh? What makes you think that?”

“Because no one in Pilgrimage City has any signs of cultivating dark energy. The old man just said that there are three cities in Xihuang. I think I should go check on the other two,” Qin Yu said. After saying this, Qin Yu bowed slightly to Chao Shou and said, “Sorry for wasting your time. I’ll let myself out now.”

“Don’t be in such a hurry.” At this moment, Chao Shou stopped Qin Yu.

“Xihuang is a vast place. If you don’t have a guide, you could get lost for years before you land your destination,” he said with a smile. There was some truth to his words. The area of Xihuang was extremely large, not much smaller than Nanzhou.

“If you don’t mind, why don’t you come with me?” Chao Shou said with a faint smile.

“Dude, are you really willing to help?” Qin Yu’s eyes lit up.

“You bet,” Chao Shou said with a faint smile.

“Thank you so much!” Qin Yu quickly cupped his hands.

Chao Shou laughed coldly in his heart. He immediately stood up and said, “Come with me, I’ll take you there now.”

Qin Yu opened is mouth and was about to agree, but then he suddenly realized that something was wrong!

The old man had called out his name when he entered the room, but Qin Yu had never told him! “How did he know?” he thought.

He looked at Chao Shou in front of him. Although his aura couldn’t be seen through, it could be seen that it was extremely stable, and a powerful aura was faintly discernible.

“I’m afraid this person is in Return To Void Stage,” Qin Yu said in his heart.

The fact that the old man knew his name and had even found a Return To Void Stage cultivator meant that his identity had already been exposed.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu had a bad feeling but he didn’t show it on his face.

“Thank you so much, dude, but you have to wait for me for a moment. I still have some things to take care of,” Qin Yu said calmly.

“What is it?” Chao Shou raised his eyebrows and asked.

Qin Yu smiled. “I’m not familiar with this place. I have to find a place to hide my treasures. I was planning to stay here, so I hid them upstairs. Wait a moment. I’ll be right down.”

Chao Shou didn’t think much about it. He had not the slightest idea that Qin Yu to have already guessed his identity, so he nodded and said, “Alright.” Qin Yu stood up and slowly walked upstairs. His steps were extremely steady, without the slightest hint of panic.

Qin Yu’s face turned cold when he came upstairs.

“Da*n, I almost died here,” Qin Yu said coldly.

He didn’t waste any time and immediately left the teahouse.

After leaving, Qin Yu walked quickly toward the city gate.

It was now in the teahouse.

Chao Shou was still waiting for Qin Yu.

But as time went by, Qin Yu still didn’t come down.

This made Chao Shou feel that something was wrong. He released his divine sense and covered the nearby area, trying to find Qin Yu.

But he couldn’t sense Qin Yu’s internal qi because he had long been gone.

Chao Shou’s face instantly turned extremely dark. He said coldly, “You son of bi*ch!”

But Chao Shou soon gave a cold laugh.
