Ye Chu ultimately abandoned the idea of robbing Buluo Mountain. Just as Shui Gu said, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. With his meagre strength, going without Shui Gu would simply be courting death.
Ye Chu and Shui Gu left together, flying across space, their speed astonishing. This made Ye Chu extremely envious of Shui Gu. He wondered when he himself could cultivate to such a level.
Thinking that Shui Gu could exchange blows with a figure who had become famous three thousand years ago, Ye Chu’s blood boiled within. Wuxin Peak truly had no simple characters. Old Madman needed no mention, this was beyond his imagination. Ou Yi and Jin Wawa, both made people’s hearts jump in fear. In comparison, he and Xi Xi seemed far too inferior.
After Shui Gu sent Ye Chu to a relatively safe place, he suddenly said to Ye Chu, “Go rendezvous with Ou Yi and the others. I will go fetch Xi Xi and Yao Yao!”
“Eh?” Ye Chu looked at Shui Gu in puzzlement.
“The old man has gone mad right now. He does not remember us at all. If he returns to Wuxin Peak, Yao Yao and Xi Xi may be in danger. During his fits of madness, it is best to stay far away from him!” Shui Gu answered.
Ye Chu nodded vigorously, deeply agreeing. The current Old Madman was simply… very likely to harm his own people.
“Just who is this Old Madman? What relationship does he have with the Divine Palace?” Ye Chu muttered. Thinking of the Eight Trigrams diagram that Old Madman had shaken out, then connecting it to what he had seen in the Divine Palace, he always felt Old Madman had an extremely deep connection with the Divine Palace.
Shui Gu was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, “I have followed him the longest, but I cannot see through him. I also do not know his origins. I only heard that he once provoked quite a few people, even causing trouble with the Demon Palace, an absolute power that rules over a sacred land. Perhaps, he might be a living Supreme?”
Thinking that Old Madman had exchanged blows with Blood Butcher Supreme and emerged unharmed, and had beaten back the Buluo Sacred Weapon, Shui Gu felt that even if Old Madman was not at the Supreme level, he was not far from it.
“Perhaps a Supreme?” Ye Chu repeated, but his heart could not calm. In this era where Saints did not emerge, could there still be a Supreme wandering between heaven and earth?
Moreover, apart from the terror Old Madman displayed during these past few days of madness, when did he ever have the aura of a Supreme?
Ye Chu took a deep breath. After thinking, he still said to Shui Gu, “My Primal Chaos Azure Qi was obtained in the forbidden land of the Divine Palace. At this time, two sides of the Divine Palace are suppressing two corpses. The corpses look exactly like Old Madman. If you wish to understand, you can look at the Divine Palace from afar. Perhaps you can see those two identical corpses!”
“What?” Shui Gu sucked in a cold breath. This news made him unable to calm. His pupils suddenly contracted, light bursting from his eyes as he stared straight at Ye Chu, “Are you speaking the truth?”
Ye Chu shrugged, “I accidentally entered it back then, luckily escaping with my life. It was also good fortune that I actually obtained Primal Chaos Azure Qi!”
Shui Gu had not expected Ye Chu’s Primal Chaos Azure Qi was obtained this way. He took a deep breath, looked at Ye Chu and said, “So it seems, the old man’s origins are even less simple. Perhaps, it is really as he said, he has lived longer than Wuxin Peak has existed!”
…
The events that occurred in the Emotion Domain these past few days made the entire domain shake. Although the Emotion Domain had returned to calm at this moment, the world was discussing them fervently. Whether sacred lands or ordinary cultivators, all had surging waves in their hearts.
Of course, just as Shui Gu said, although Buluo Mountain was nearly destroyed, quite a few cultivators had survived. These people had luckily escaped calamity, and naturally hated Shui Gu, Ye Chu and the others to the bone.
After Old Madman left, these people pursued and came to hunt Shui Gu and Ye Chu.
Shui Gu’s strength was naturally not something they could catch up to, but after Shui Gu left, Ye Chu was not at ease. Knowing people were pursuing from behind, he walked carefully, going to find Ou Yi.
Ou Yi and Jin Wawa did not know where they had taken Bai Xuan and Tan Miaotong. They had not left any traces. Ye Chu was not worried about these people’s safety. Shui Gu had blocked the strong pursuers. The remaining people, with Ou Yi and Jin Wawa’s strength, could not harm them at all.
What Ye Chu worried about was Bai Xuan’s condition after fusing with the Supreme Bone. He did not know how she was.
Searching everywhere for Ou Yi and Jin Wawa, his speed inevitably slowed. Occasionally he would also encounter sacred land cultivators who came to hunt him.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Chu would avoid them. With Ye Chu’s strength, avoiding them was naturally not too difficult.
But sometimes, avoidance was simply impossible. Ye Chu would then strike with thunderous force, directly crushing the opponent and leaving with a swagger.
But the other side’s people were not so easy to kill. Very quickly, those hunting Ye Chu were alerted and began pursuing him in force.
Fortunately, Ye Chu had the Instant Wind Technique, which could effectively shake them off. Ye Chu was not afraid of these people. What Ye Chu feared were the old fellows left behind by the sacred lands. If they acted, he would be completely unable to resist.
But Ye Chu did not know that he was overthinking at this moment. After Bai Xuan and Old Madman had pierced through Buluo Mountain, the remaining foundation was extremely limited. With this limited foundation, how could they be willing to mobilise it? Although these people wanted to tear Ye Chu and Shui Gu into ten thousand pieces, they could not possibly run after Ye Chu like ordinary cultivators.
If they knew where Ye Chu and Shui Gu were, they who had broken the seal and emerged could directly find these two. They might risk their lives to break the seal and emerge, but the problem was they could not determine where these two would be the next instant.
If they broke the seal and emerged at this moment, they would need much time to search and hunt. Their blood energy was limited. If they could find them, fine. If they could not, it would be far too great a loss.
If these foundations died again, Buluo Mountain would truly be completely destroyed. At that moment, the number of people coming to surround and kill Buluo Mountain would certainly not be few.
“Damn it! Where did Ou Yi take them?” Ye Chu cursed in a low voice, helpless. His gaze swept to the Buluo Mountain cultivators pursuing from afar. Ye Chu no longer dodged, charging toward them instead.
The surviving cultivators of Buluo Mountain had decent strength, but compared to Ye Chu, they still fell short. Even the one leading was a Sovereign, yet under Ye Chu’s unending attacks, he was beaten until he vomited blood, finally dying under Ye Chu’s fist. His entire primal spirit essence transformed into a pill grain.
The other few people were even less Ye Chu’s match, directly crushed by Ye Chu.
After killing these people, a large force from Buluo Mountain very quickly arrived, making Ye Chu swiftly flash and vanish from the spot, hiding once more.
Among the large force of Buluo Mountain, there were quite a few strong people, and several Sovereigns as well. Fighting one alone was naturally no problem for him, but if he fell into a siege, that would be troublesome. Being dragged down by the already maddened Buluo Mountain cultivators, Ye Chu could well imagine what the consequences would be!
