Chapter 1100: Chapter 1096: The Search

Zhou Chongming examined the three corpses: ”Could these guys possibly know our whereabouts?”

These leopard demons wouldn’t hide here without reason; they must have received information to ambush here.

”Naturally, it’s those Great Demons.” Qi Qingmei snorted.

”These cunning bastards!” Zhou Chongming shook his head: ”Now it’s troublesome.”

These Great Demons don’t reveal themselves, yet continuously send various demons to harass and ambush, employing a strategy of exhaustion.

No matter how numerous they are, being incessantly assassinated would tire them out, forcing them eventually to use the Heavenly Sword.

Once the Heavenly Sword is used, it would be the moment they finally strike.

But they can’t seem to find these Great Demons, forced to endure attacks passively, until they have no choice but to deploy the Heavenly Sword.

It’s like step by step walking into an abyss, leading to ultimate ruin.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Elder Zhou, what is the relationship between these evil demons and Great Demons, are they just superior officers commanding actions?”

”Regarding Great Demons, these leopard demons can only obey, having no room for defiance.” Zhou Chongming said: ”So, we will encounter endless trouble.”

Chu Zhiyuan glanced around.

Super Sense was already in insight mode, yet detected nothing else.

Normally, a Great Demon should look clearly at the outcomes.

To make judgments and decisions—whether to continue sending various demons or which type to send.

So, a Great Demon should be nearby, yet Super Sense detected nothing.

The aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree remained unmoved, instinct perceiving no danger.

Unless, the Great Demon was not nearby.

He looked up to the sky.

Above the void, there was nothing visible, yet he vaguely sensed that if not nearby, they must be watching from above.

”Junior brother, what are you looking at?” Lu Xiaolu curiously asked, also raising her head to look at the sky.

She saw nothing, only white clouds.

”Looking for any Great Demon.”

Chu Zhiyuan scanned the skies, trying to see even further and higher.

Finally, after thinking for a while, he took out a Flying Knife from his chest.

This knife was unlike other Flying Knives, directly flown out of sleeves, but taken out personally.

This particular Flying Knife was different, attached with a Primordial Spirit, effectively becoming a clone.

He considered for a moment then threw it towards the sky.

The knife shot straight up into the sky, eventually disappearing in people’s sight.

”What is this...?” Lu Xiaolu was even more curious: ”Is there an evil demon in the sky?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”I hope not.”

Zhou Chongming frowned in thought, pondering Chu Zhiyuan’s intentions.

He scanned the surroundings with piercing eyes, saying in a deep voice: ”Are Great Demons hiding nearby?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Possible, but I cannot detect them, either through a secret technique or a treasure.”

”That’s quite troublesome.” Zhou Chongming thought: ”Sadly, we lack a treasure for Breaking Barrier.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Sooner or later, they’ll show their hand.”

The Flying Knife continued ascending, seemingly defying gravity, endlessly flying upward.

Ultimately stopping about ten miles up, suspended in the air.

The distance already felt challenging, no longer able to sustain.

At this moment, the group including Chu Zhiyuan continued their journey, disposing of the three corpses.

The next instant, a Light Gate appeared in the void, Leng Tieya stepped out from it.

With sharp eyes, Leng Tieya scanned the surroundings while activating Super Sense.

Suddenly, his expression condensed, vanished the next moment, and reappeared on a cloud a mile away, drawing his sword expertly.

The Swordsmanship of the Leng Family Nine Swords became increasingly splendid in his hands.

A white line elegantly sliced through the clouds.

”Chirp!”

A cry sounded, and suddenly a streak of blood appeared in the clouds, revealing a white bird split in two.

Blood sprayed then immediately froze.

The temperature was extremely low, like an ice cellar.

The Flying Knife swiftly pierced one half of the bird’s body, stained by its blood.

Then headed downwards.

Leng Tieya stepped onto the other half of the bird’s body, allowing himself to hover again, sensing the surroundings.

Finally, he sliced open another Light Gate, disappeared inside, returning to outer heaven.

At this moment, Chu Zhiyuan, who was practicing, breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, there were eyes watching, and this action should suffice to block the Great Demon’s gaze.

With the help of Leng Tieya’s clone, removing this eye, finally brought relief.

Being constantly watched was unpleasant.

And let’s hope the white bird’s blood leads to the Great Demon’s trail.

The Flying Knife silently shot out from the nearby woods, slipped into his sleeve.

The surrounding ladies gave him a glance, then withdrew their gaze.

They knew Chu Zhiyuan’s Demon Suppressing Saber was marvelous, miraculous.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, sensing through the Flying Knife and himself, the aura within the blood.

A moment later, he opened his eyes: ”Elder Zhou, Senior Sister Qi.”

Zhou Chongming accelerated to his side, while Qi Qingmei took a few steps back, also arriving beside him.

Chu Zhiyuan whispered: ”I’ve sensed the location of the Great Demon.”

”Where?!” Zhou Chongming immediately grew solemn.

Qi Qingmei’s eyes immediately sparkled.

Chu Zhiyuan pointed to the left front: ”Estimated to be about ten miles away.”

Zhou Chongming frowned in thought, with a grave expression, his eyes the only things gleaming.

Qi Qingmei asked: ”How many Great Demons?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: ”Only sensed one, but cannot confirm it’s just one.”

Qi Qingmei looked at Zhou Chongming: ”Master Zhou, do we strike?”

Zhou Chongming glanced toward Heavenly Sword Peak’s direction, pressing his hand on an ancient longsword.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Elder, I have an idea.”

”Speak.” Zhou Chongming looked at him.

Chu Zhiyuan took out the Short Sword: ”This Heavenly Sword has not been used yet, a strike may make them drop their guard.”

Regardless, without a harsh strike against the Great Demon, it will ceaselessly harass us, never peaceful.

Qi Qingmei clapped: ”After using the Heavenly Sword, they can attack us freely.”

She immediately said: ”But it’s best to act after Guiyang Sword Sect and Fuyun Sect arrive.”

If there were four Great Demons, they’d struggle.

Only after Guiyang Sword Sect and Fuyun Sect’s experts join, can it ensure smooth success.

Zhou Chongming slowly nodded: ”We’ll wait for them to arrive,... with this route, they shouldn’t miss it.”

...

But they did not wait for the experts of Guiyang Sword Sect and Fuyun Sect.

After rapidly traveling over a hundred miles, they still hadn’t seen the experts of Guiyang Sword Sect and Fuyun Sect.

By this time, Zhou Chongming and Qi Qingmei both felt something was amiss.

As everyone rested by a river, both their expressions appeared heavy.

Lu Xiaolu asked: ”Senior sister, could the experts of those two sects have been annihilated?”

”Quit speaking nonsense!” Qi Qingmei reprimanded.

Lu Xiaolu said: ”This time these evil demons are cunning, wave after wave of counterfeits, maybe they were tricked, they don’t have junior brother around.”

The ladies of Guanghan Palace all nodded.

They personally witnessed the strangeness and cunning of these demons.

If Chu Zhiyuan hadn’t been around, foreseeing in advance, they might have been deceived.

Qi Qingmei said: ”It’s possible they took a detour.”

”Hm, possible.” Zhou Chongming said: ”I hope so.”

He turned his head: ”Can the Great Demon still be sensed?”

”Following secretly, it’s behind us.” Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

The group took the straight line between Qinglian Sea and Heavenly Sword Peak.

Crossing over mountains, across rivers, always heading in one direction.

This was the closest distance, the biggest flaw was predictability.

But with this, they could meet Guiyang Sword Sect and Fuyun Sect’s experts.

Not going this way risked missing the experts of both sects.

”If detouring, we might miss each other.” Qi Qingmei said: ”Very troublesome.”

”Then steady on, we can return!” Zhou Chongming said: ”Is the Great Demon still there?”

His gaze turned to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Ten miles away, still behind us.”

Suddenly, an explosion echoed from the sky, followed by a golden longsword appearing in the void.

The sword tip pointed diagonally at the ground.

”Guiyang Sword Sect!” Qi Qingmei’s eyes flashed brightly: ”Encountered big trouble!”

Zhou Chongming slowly stood up, turning to look at the Heavenly Sword Peak disciples: ”Let’s go.”

He turned to Qi Qingmei: ”Nephew Qi, you stay hidden, to provide support.”

Qi Qingmei solemnly agreed.

Indeed, this was the prudent plan, preventing it from being a trap.
