On June 28th, outside Shu Province, the sky was filled with swords and knives, creating an astonishing phenomenon visible from ten miles away.
The duel of swords and knives ended in a draw under unequal conditions.
The group from Xuanyin Sword Residence left the outskirts of Shu Province because of the duel and entered Shu Province. However, the pursuit continued closely behind, now without the Three Kings of Netherworld Palace.
Due to Elder Shiming's revelation, his and Ji Chengtian's targeting became public. Hou Qian's forces also joined the chase, and even Ji Chengtian showed signs of leaving the Imperial City to take action.
Or perhaps, he had already left the Imperial City, but could not find the opportunity to act because of the superpower of the Nihility Magic Mirror.
Qing Yu also entrusted the Nihility Magic Mirror to Xuanyin Sword Residence to carry, combined with the replicated superpower of Wu Wang, these two Heavenly Demon Soldiers worked together, even with Elder Shiming joining the pursuit, he could not capture the whereabouts of Xuanyin Sword Residence and others.
However, unable to search with Divine Sense, unable to sense with Qi Mechanism, does not mean unable to find with eyesight. Within Hou Qian's territory, there is no shortage of people.
Numerous spies from Shadow Pavilion wandered through Shu Province, scanning every inch of land, striving to locate the four fugitives.
Once they saw someone in the Divinity Realm flying across the sky, they immediately informed their superiors, letting Hou Qian's Divinity Realm pursue them.
Under such a Heaven and Earth Net search, Xuanyin Sword Residence and others ultimately couldn't evade, being discovered in a small town, triggering a fierce battle.
Due to previous serious injuries from the Sword God's Sword Intent, the four's strength was not fully restored, even the Heavenly Demon Locking God Barrier was not as strong as before, unable to withstand, they quickly fled.
During the escape, the "Heavenly Scroll" in the Sword Maiden's hand was lost and picked up by a disciple of Ten Thousand Poison Sect.
Then, a bloody struggle began.
The allure of "Soldier Armor Martial Scripture" had reached its peak recently, even novices in worldly society knew the fame of this Divine Skill.
When news spread that the "Heavenly Scroll" fell into the hands of a Ten Thousand Poison Sect disciple, the entire Shu Province went into an uproar.
Previously, when Hou Qian was hunting the four from Xuanyin Sword Residence, major forces in Shu Province watched silently, indifferent. But once the news of the "Heavenly Scroll" spread, any ambitious martial artist joined this bloody feast.
In the end, even the Lin Family, ruler of Shu Province, and Ten Thousand Poison Sect fully entered, throwing Shu Province into chaos.
Furthermore, there were reports of some Peacock Remnants from the Western Regions stealthily entering the borders, showing signs of joining the scripture snatching.
"Is this bloodshed throughout Shu Province your revenge on me, Qing Yu?"
In the Heavenly Vault, Ji Chengtian looked at Qing Yu not far away and asked coldly.
Unlike the previous Nine Heavens gatherings, there were only three people in the Heavenly Vault this time. Qing Yu, Ji Chengtian, and Elder Shiming.
"If you say it's revenge, it's somewhat excessive. After all, I haven't intervened even a little; all the slaughter stems from everyone's greed," Qing Yu replied with a faint smile.
Nearby, Elder Shiming quietly observed Qing Yu's Primordial Spirit Projection with double pupils, attempting to find any abnormality. However, regardless of how he exerted his skills, he could not discover any hints of severe injury.
If not for Elder Shiming calculating with Forbidden Technique that Qing Yu was struck by an arrow, he might still be unsure of Qing Yu's condition.
However, this seemed normal. If Qing Yu was so easy to be seen through, Elder Shiming would have already uncovered him when he first entered Nine Heavens.
"If you called me here just for this matter, then I will take my leave," Qing Yu said, preparing to leave the Heavenly Vault.
To everyone's surprise, Elder Shiming and Ji Chengtian remained silent, simply watching him leave.
After waiting a few breaths, Qing Yu's eyes flashed with obscurity, and he ultimately chose to leave.
After he left, Ji Chengtian looked at Elder Shiming with fierce eyes, "Did you capture his recent Qi Mechanism?"
"The Heavenly Vault is constructed on the Secret Realm passed down from Fate Altar, capturing his Qi Mechanism is naturally easy,"
Elder Shiming smiled self-satisfactorily, revealing a trace of Qi Mechanism swirling in his open palm.
In fact, if not for the recent period's Qi Mechanism being effective, Elder Shiming could easily use past Qi Mechanism to make up.
With this trace of Qi Mechanism in hand, the position of the Nine Heavens crowd won't escape Elder Shiming's grasp. Of course, Qing Yu is excluded from this crowd.
All along, Elder Shiming's most direct sense of Qing Yu's position has been merely a vague general range.
This range varies from as small as a province, as large as three provinces, such a broad scope makes sensing or not entirely indifferent.
Now, Qing Yu's strength surpasses the past, making any sensing utterly useless.
However, Elder Shiming isn't using the captured Qi Mechanism for himself.
A flash of brilliance, the two withdrew from the Heavenly Vault and returned to reality.
In reality, Elder Shiming and Ji Chengtian weren't inside Hou Qian Imperial City but on a plain in the suburbs of Anshan Prefecture in Xuanzhou.
They were there waiting for someone, someone who could aid them against Qing Yu.
After not long, the person they waited for arrived.
The Earth Vein Energy gently fluctuated, two figures appeared from afar within moments as if shrinking the earth to inches.
Two people, one cloaked in a black robe, obscuring his face, but his tall and robust figure was apparent.
The other one, carrying a large black bow and a stone arrow quiver on his back, was Hou Huai, the brother of the Southern Border Witch King.
"Southern Border Witch King." Ji Chengtian disregarded Hou Huai, glaring at the man in the black robe.
"Emperor Hou Qian."
The man in the black robe lifted his hat, revealing a face as resolute as marble, similarly staring at Ji Chengtian.
"Do you have a method to find Qing Yu's location?"
"Naturally, there's a method."
The Witch King reached for the Dragon Pattern Great Bow Rebellion Heaven, a trace of Vile Aura flowed over the bow, "Just as I mentioned in the letter to you all, the Rebellion Heaven Bow and Sun Stealing Arrow are a pair, hit by the Sun Stealing Arrow, one cannot escape the lock of the Rebellion Heaven Bow.
However, Qing Yu possesses exceptional skills, able to weaken the resonance between Corrupting Evil Energy of the arrows and the Rebellion Heaven Bow, thus requiring a thread of his recent Qi Mechanism to sense his location."
"We have acquired that thread of Qi Mechanism." Elder Shiming displayed the sealed Qi Mechanism in his hand.
"Then let's begin."
Without asking how Elder Shiming obtained the Qi Mechanism, the Witch King straightforwardly said, "With our combined strength, find Qing Yu and kill him; it's as simple as that."
A very straightforward and brutal plan, just find Qing Yu, and given Qing Yu's current injury, facing the assault of two Supreme beings, he has no chance of survival.
The complexities have been completed in advance, be it confirming Qing Yu's injuries, or obtaining Qing Yu's Qi Mechanism, now only the final step remains.
"Yes, let's start, find him, and kill him."
