Chapter 805: Chapter 798: Discovery
One red and one white, two figures traversed the skies.
Tian Yin and Seductive Lady, although they had already turned around and rushed back to their Demon Palace’s territory to search for Qingmu’s whereabouts, until now, they still had nothing to show for it.
After all, this land was simply too vast. Even though the territory their Demon Palace occupied was only about one-fifth of the entire southern Zhan State, its range still spanned billions of miles.
Qingmu was severely injured, fleeing into the Demon Palace’s sphere of influence? This was merely a guess by the two of them.
As for whether this speculation was accurate, neither Tian Yin nor Seductive Lady could be 100% sure.
Aside from knowing that the place Qingmu might be in was likely snow-covered, they had no other useful clues.
At this moment, the two figures standing in the sky focused their gaze, glancing slightly around.
The wind howled, snowflakes fluttered, and everywhere was a world of white.
Under such circumstances, they had no clue where to start searching for Qingmu’s trail and could only hope for that ever-elusive luck.
“This damned weather, Qingmu, that guy, fate surely isn’t ready to let him die!”
“Give it up, Seductive Lady, with this blizzard’s cover, our chances of finding Qingmu’s trail are virtually nil.”
“On this trip, although we haven’t been able to directly slay Qingmu, at least we have severely injured him to the brink of death. Such a result is enough to satisfy Yu Ji and restore our Demon Palace’s face.”
…
Amidst the howling wind and snow, the two had been searching for several days.
After seeing no results, it was Tian Yin who couldn’t sit still and began to feel discouraged.
The reason for this might be because he didn’t originally think Qingmu would flee to their Demon Palace territory — he only came along because Seductive Lady insisted on searching there.
“Hundreds of years ago, that old bastard Qingmu robbed me of a supreme opportunity in the Ruins. I’ve kept this matter in my heart.”
“This time, I finally managed to wound him severely, letting him escape. If I don’t find his trail and slay him, I won’t be at ease.”
“Tian Yin, if you don’t want to help, you can leave. I’ll search for that knave’s traces by myself!”
With an angry look, Seductive Lady gave Tian Yin a fierce glare.
Although she verbally said dealing with Qingmu was to vent for Yu Ji, in reality, if she didn’t already have a personal grudge with Qingmu, why would she be working so hard now!
“Alright, then we’ll continue searching for a while!”
With a wry smile, Tian Yin sighed and continued, “If I remember correctly, there’s a city of our Demon Palace several thousand miles to the southwest.”
“We can search all the way there and then rest in Donglin City for two days before continuing our search for Qingmu’s trail. What do you think?”
Seductive Lady didn’t oppose this suggestion.
After all, to deal with Qingmu, they planned first, then ambushed, and now searched for Qingmu’s traces everywhere. Truly speaking, they had been busy without rest for quite some time.
Resting in the city for a few days to alleviate their physical and mental fatigue could be seen as sharpening the axe before chopping wood, right?
“Let’s go, directly to Donglin City!”
After casually responding, Seductive Lady shot forward.
A few thousand miles was not far for strong individuals of Seductive Lady’s and Tian Yin’s level.
In less than a stick of incense’s time, they were within less than a thousand miles of Donglin City.
“This…”
“Inside Qingmu’s body is my Extreme Yin Mysterious Qi, I’ve already sensed his trail. He’s in that Donglin City!”
“This old geezer, he managed to escape far enough. Struck by my Extreme Yin Mysterious Qi, and he still escaped here?”
“Now that his trail is exposed, let’s see how he can escape from the hands of you and me!”
Tian Yin, who originally had little hope of finding Qingmu, suddenly felt a moment of clarity and great joy.
What do they say, “wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search, only to find it easily here”? This scene evidently is that.
His suggestion to Seductive Lady to search towards Donglin City was only to find a place to rest — he never expected Qingmu would hide in Donglin City!
“What are you waiting for, Tian Yin? Let’s go, directly over!”
Upon hearing Tian Yin’s words, Seductive Lady was equally elated.
With a shout, the rainbow shadow she transformed into sped up again and shot straight toward Donglin City.
…
Donglin City, Chen Residence, inside the underground Cultivation Room.
Over a hundred tentacles pierced into Qingmu’s body, these multiple tentacles working together, devouring the coldness at least ten times faster.
Unfortunately, after devouring the coldness, the Rule of Cold fragments finally condensed amounted to only four or five.
It seemed that the Extreme Yin Mysterious Qi driven into Qingmu’s body only contained a tiny amount of Rule Power.
The Rule of Cold Power contained within it was fully absorbed by Chen Hai’s Devouring Touch, so although the Extreme Yin Mysterious Qi was still chilling, it could no longer keep Qingmu sealed.
Now Qingmu was fully awake, and his long-closed eyes had already opened.
“Master, these tentacles of yours?”
Seeing the over a hundred tentacles embedded in his body, Qingmu could clearly feel that the Extreme Yin Mysterious Qi, which nearly left him critically wounded, was still being continuously drawn out by those tentacles from his body.
Were it not for the facts laid bare before him, he would find it hard to believe that the Extreme Yin Mysterious Qi, something even he, a Quasi-Saint Strong, couldn’t handle, was being thoroughly restrained by Chen Hai’s tentacles!
Tentatively, after hesitating for a while, he couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked Chen Hai.
“This is Devouring Touch, just a Divine Skill I blindly cultivated!”
With a laugh, Chen Hai nonchalantly replied.
After devouring those Extreme Yin Mysterious Qi from Qingmu’s body, the few Rule of Cold fragments he condensed were used to nourish his own Top Three Flowers.
Now, he had successfully condensed his final Earth Flower, although it had yet to be completely perfect.
Having subdued Qingmu, a Quasi-Saint Strong like this as a subordinate, and having significantly increased his own power, Chen Hai naturally felt quite pleased.
Smiling at Qingmu before him, Chen Hai, as he spoke, continued devouring the remaining coldness at an even greater efficiency with his tentacles.
Qingmu, on the other hand, looked bewildered, with a strange expression of disbelief.
The supreme Divine Power capable of easily devouring the Extreme Yin Mysterious Qi within his own body, something he couldn’t deal with himself, and Chen Hai said he just blindly cultivated it?
Faced with this, Qingmu was left speechless, with nothing else to say!
Seeing this, Chen Hai didn’t bother explaining further, his tentacles continued voraciously devouring the remaining coldness within Qingmu’s body.
“Alright, the coldness in your body has been mostly cleared out!”
“However, your body is severely injured, and to fully recover, you’ll definitely need a lot of time for recuperation!”
After an hour, retracting all the tentacles, Chen Hai finally stood up and informed Qingmu with a smile.
