Chapter 2762 - Skyghoul Sacredfiend

Right after leaving the shrine and rejoining Zi Zhen, Tianming leapt on her back without another word.

"Run!" He had almost said 'giddy-up', as if he was riding a horse. The urgency really surprised Zi Zhen, who was just about to ask what happened. "Just run, don't ask yet!"

"Alright!" Though she was distraught, she trusted Tianming on a subconscious level and immediately sped away into the purple haze. The power of her physical body made her quite efficient when it came to running on her own two feet and her cosm.o.f.orce surged as she charged off in an instant.

"They're gone just like that?" Gu Chunhan and Gu Xiayang had thought that Tianming would enslave them for the rest of their lives with his Imperial Sword Prison. They stood there, blankly watching and having no clue as to what was happening.

"What's the rush? He got permanent residence already." Gu Chunhan simply couldn't figure it out.

"They probably wont come back or suddenly threaten to kill us, right?" Gu Xiayang said, worried.

"I wouldn't know."

"You! You caused me to lose all my soulstones and almost cost me my life! Gu Chunhan, it's over between us from now on!"

"Big Brother, don't be so angry! I had no choice either!"

"Then why didn't you go to someone else?!"

As they were arguing, they felt a breeze behind them. Turning back, they saw the people that Lord Guang Ling had brought in earlier, running out as if they were chasing something. There was another outworlder that they didn't recognize with orange hair, seemingly powerful enough to earn respect.

"Gu Chunhan! Gu Xiayang! Where are they?! Guang Ling yelled.

"Who? Do you mean Li Tianming?" Gu Chunhan could tell that something had gone awry.

What in the world is that kid....

"That's right, the white-haired kid you brought in." Guang Ling glared at him with his two heads and four eyes.

"He ran that way," Gu Chunhan hurriedly said.

"Go!" Guang Ling lifted the two thousand-meter-tall demonhogs and the orange-haired youth, then sped into the darkness.

"Lord Guang Lin, what's going on?" Gu Chunhan asked, enduring the strong winds that entered his mouth.

"That's my questionwhy were you together with that youth?" Guang Ling asked.

Gu Chunhan could sense that something serious had just taken place. If they were perceived to be in cahoots with Tianming, things would get dangerous for them. "Lord, we were victims too! Two days ago, we were just cultivating in our homes when he showed up. He took me hostage and put something in me that could take my life at any moment, forcing me to bring him to you!"

Gu Xiayang added, "That's right! He stole our soulstones too. Our brothers will have to suffer."

"He can take your lives at any time?" Guang Ling furrowed his brows. He sent a trace of cosm.o.f.orce into Gu Chunhan's body and sensed the Imperial Sword Prison. "Impressive!"

The fact that even someone like him was impressed showed how powerful the Imperial Sword Prison was. He believed everything Gu Chunhan said, as he wouldn't dare to lie to him. Tianming had abandoned them after hed bought himself permanent residence and they were no longer of use to him.

Right as Guang Ling was about to toss the two away, Custodian Demonpiece came over. "Quit joking around. How could a mere orderan take down the two of you? Did he have a helper?"

"He did! She's called Zi Zhen and has long, purple hair! She also has xeno fatigue! Come to think of it, it's quite weird that she was able to fight so fiercely despite that. Not many people recognize her due to her hermit nature," Gu Chunhan offered, worried that the slightest hint of holding back would offend the powerful people.

"Lord Li, that should be the one you were looking for. She looks just like you described," Custodian Demonpiece said.

"I see." Li Fan's eyes burned with pa.s.sion. He turned back and said, "Very well. Use the resources of the New Shrine to hunt those two down. Ill pursue them alone."

"Understood!" Custodian Demonpiece said.

Guang Ling pouted, unwilling to serve an outworlder like that. However, this was no ordinary outworlder, so he had no choice but to obey. "Okay."

While Li Fan couldn't forget the shame of being stomped on by Tianming with his second totemic calamity, his other target was even more important. The skyghoul sacredfiend was born in the Xenoabyss and even has xeno fatigue? Hahaha... Are the heavens working in my favor?" Power surged in his body before he disappeared into the darkness at blinding speed.

"How powerful!" The others watched in awe.

"Lord... Lord Guang Ling.... Outworlders who have more than five cosmic charts shouldn't be able to enter the Xenoabyss, right? How could there be someone that strong among them?" Gu Chunhan asked, shuddering.

"That person is from Myriadpath Valley, which has a special connection with the Xenoabyss. They also do some business with our nation. If it werent for that, I wouldnt tolerate an outworlder behaving toward us like that."

"Myriadpath Valley? I haven't heard of them, so they must be nothing compared to Antiquitas Mortis!" The brothers knew that their survival depended on Guang Ling's mood, so they were desperate to flatter him.

After Li Fan left, the divine wonderian couple came over and saluted Guang Ling. The old man said, "That kid sensed us and ran. The Ninth District is far too large, so it won't be easy to find him. If Li Fan isn't able to capture him, I hope youll issue an order for the entire district to be searched, Lord Guang Ling."

Guang Ling rolled his eyes. "Custodian Demonpiece, you don't understand what the Ninth District is like. First things first, all we do is manage the population within the city. We have no power to issue arrest or search warrants like that. Only the garrison of the capital or some other organization above it has such a right.

Additionally, the Ninth District is a special place. There are no other organizations here apart from us, the New Shrine, and theres far too many people in the district. Thats by design, after all. The Ninth District is where all the messier elements of the capital can be thrown in. Those people are free to eliminate each other here. Attempting to enforce anything here goes against the spirit of the place."

"Will you tell Lord Li Fan the same thing?" Custodian Demonpiece said, miffed.
