Watching the Mountain

Chapter 436: Chapter 223: The Extremely Sinister Wuchen Daoist Monarch

He was simply too calculating, too sinister and ruthless. There was no need to fight to the death here before they had figured him out.

Shen Wuchen watched the two figures depart. His body remained ramrod straight and his face held an expression of aloof arrogance, but his mind was filled with doubt.

’What in the world just happened?’

A moment ago, he had been on the verge of despair, his only thought being how to stall for more time.

And yet, at that very moment, his enemies had suddenly retreated.

He recalled the words the two had spoken, and a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes.

’Calculating and sinister?’

’Are they talking about me?’

He found it somewhat incomprehensible, but he didn’t dwell on it. No matter the reason, all that mattered was that his enemies had retreated.

As he stood there wondering, the figures of Li Daoyi, Chu Lingxiao, and Chen Chang’an slowly descended beside him, their faces also etched with confusion.

The three of them had seen that Shen Wuchen’s Mental Realm had been seen through. They had devised a plan to launch a surprise attack from three different directions, buying Shen Wuchen time to withdraw from the battlefield.

Shen Wuchen was now the strongest person in the Sect; they absolutely could not let him fall here. They were even willing to sacrifice themselves to ensure his safe retreat.

But just as they had finalized their strategy and were about to make their move, the enemies on the other side had already taken the initiative to withdraw.

”What happened?” The three of them looked at Shen Wuchen, their faces full of doubt.

Shen Wuchen shook his head without answering. Instead, he raised his head slightly and gazed in a specific direction.

Seeing this, the three also raised their heads slightly, following his gaze.

After just a moment, the refined figure of Wuya Daoist Monarch landed before them.

Upon seeing Wuya Daoist Monarch, surprised expressions appeared on their faces. This was especially true for Shen Wuchen. ’So he was the companion Shifang Daoist Monarch mentioned earlier?’

After Wuya Daoist Monarch appeared, he glanced around before his gaze fell upon Shen Wuchen, Li Daoyi, and the others. He asked with a look of astonishment:

”Where are the enemies?”

”Hm?” Hearing this, Li Daoyi and the others let out a sound of surprise. They hurriedly gave Wuya Daoist Monarch a slight bow before asking with bewildered expressions:

”Elder Wuya, you came here to...”

At these words, Wuya Daoist Monarch raised his eyelids slightly and said flatly, ”I lost the bet I made with your Sect Leader Yue.”

Hearing this, Li Daoyi and the others understood instantly. The man had come to help them. They quickly thanked him and then gave him a brief rundown of the situation.

”They retreated on their own?” Wuya Daoist Monarch exclaimed in astonishment. ”Was I too late?”

He had heard that powerful experts were fighting in the Profound Pure Sect’s territory and immediately suspected that people from the Overseas Archipelago were making a move on the Sect, so he had rushed over.

But he had only just arrived, and the enemies had already retreated. He couldn’t help but feel utterly exasperated.

His gaze then fell upon Shen Wuchen. He recognized him, and this only added to his surprise.

He hadn’t expected that the renowned Wuchen True Monarch had not only broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm in such a short time but had also fought two other Divinity Transformation Realm enemies alone and forced them to retreat. It was truly terrifying to behold.

No wonder he had become the youngest Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Eastern Domain Cultivation Realm in the last hundred thousand years. He was truly a heaven-sent prodigy.

But then, another doubt surfaced in his mind. Wasn’t this Wuchen Daoist Monarch said to be following the path of the Flying Immortal Stream? How could he possess such strength?

’Could it be that the Divinity Transformation Realm of the Flying Immortal Stream brings with it a massive boost in power?’
