Chapter 1965: Chapter 63: Return
Thanks to Fanming’s advancement, the speed greatly increased.
Compared to when they came, the time it took Fanming to return was more than halved.
Under Yun Qi’s leadership, they also collected all the treasures hidden in a void by the Red Sky Palace during their return.
In a hurry, Chong Hua didn’t bother to take inventory and directly let Fanming devour everything, then flew toward the vast void, the road back to the Little Cang World.
...
After an unknown amount of time.
In the silent void, ruins floated lifelessly...
In a certain ruin, a radiance suddenly appeared.
The light flickered, and several figures stepped out one after another.
These people were all short in stature, with two bright black mustaches, exactly Yun Zaitian’s group.
"Finally back!"
Except for the leading Yun Zaitian, the others all wore a slightly satisfied smile at the moment.
"Haha, at first the Mansion Master of Dragon Whisker Mansion didn’t want to lend us the Teleportation Array, but when he saw the Palace Master, the Palace Master just showed a little bit, and immediately he had no temper!"
"It was wise of him, otherwise, let alone the Palace Master, even if we all acted together, we could wipe out that Dragon Whisker Mansion."
"But now that the Palace Master’s cultivation has greatly advanced, upon returning, he should also deal with that Hundred Ghost Mountain, which has never regarded our Red Sky Palace with respect, being so insolent. According to those from the Jade Pot Realm, they seem to want us to take action against this Hundred Ghost Mountain..."
"I’ve long been displeased with those five Ghost Kings, brewing heads in wine every day is quite disgusting! I’ll throw his head in the wine later!"
"But speaking of which, the people from the Jade Pot Realm are quite generous..."
The few laughed and chatted.
Yun Zaitian’s eyes swept around, hearing their conversation, and he reprimanded in a low voice:
"When traveling outside, don’t speak recklessly, lest it be overheard!"
The few following behind him immediately straightened their expressions, not daring to speak more.
Seeing this, Yun Zaitian nodded in satisfaction.
Though not far from the Red Sky Palace, he habitually maintained vigilance.
Leading the way, headed towards the Red Sky Palace.
The few hurried to catch up.
Quickly moving away from the ruins.
Yun Zaitian looked around and spoke out as he flew:
"The Jade Pot Realm is the Jade Pot Realm, we are ourselves. The Jade Pot Realm helped us, do you really think they’re doing it out of kindness?"
"Ha! They’re just using our Red Sky Palace to attract attention! Who knows what they’re plotting in secret."
"Should we really take action against Hundred Ghost Mountain, once it’s known, it’ll incur public wrath, and our Red Sky Palace in this Sea of Chaos Realm won’t be able to take a step, while the Jade Pot Realm may well fish in troubled waters..."
The Red Sky Palace cultivators behind him heard this, some were enlightened, some agreed.
They were among the few unified cultivators of the Red Sky Palace, and due to the rare connection with the Jade Pot Realm, with thoughts of catching some benefits, they had followed Yun Zaitian to the Jade Pot Realm.
They indeed gained quite a bit this time.
But these benefits didn’t cloud their understanding, as they were clear about the principle of different hearts for different clans.
"What about Qiao Wensong’s matter, what should we do? He died near our Red Sky Palace and Hundred Ghost Mountain, we must account to the Jade Pot Realm, no?"
A cultivator said with a heavy expression.
Yun Zaitian, while flying and searching for the next place to borrow the Teleportation Array, pondered:
"Qiao Wensong, although not skilled in cultivation and magical combat, is still early-stage Unification, with Primordial Spirit and Dao Domain highly compatible. Generally, small forces shouldn’t easily deal with him..."
Upon hearing this, the few exchanged astonished looks:
"Palace Master, do you mean there’s a possibility that people from the other two realms acted behind the scenes?"
Yun Zaitian furrowed his brows:
"It’s only a possibility."
Someone asked doubtfully:
"Then, are we ignoring Hundred Ghost Mountain?"
Yun Zaitian shook his head slightly, looked into the void, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes:
"Whether related to Hundred Ghost Mountain or not... it must be related."
"We’ll send it to the Jade Pot Realm later, let them decide."
The few were momentarily stunned, then understood, and all revealed knowing sinister smiles.
"First, go back and rest, then we’ll find evidence of Hundred Ghost Mountain harming the Jade Pot Realm cultivators, and then send it to the Jade Pot Realm!"
The few exchanged cold smiles.
Seeing this, Yun Zaitian didn’t say much more.
In his eyes, Hundred Ghost Mountain was already like a candle in the wind, easily extinguishable.
How could strangers be allowed to snore beside his bed?
He had long considered eliminating Hundred Ghost Mountain, merely delayed by fear of other forces. Now, a heaven-sent opportunity, with Qiao Wensong dead near Hundred Ghost Mountain, using the Jade Pot Realm’s hand to both elevate the Primordial Spirit and clear obstacles without inciting hostility from other forces.
"By then, taking over Hundred Ghost Mountain’s Dao Field, the next Sea Market might yield another rich harvest..."
Thinking of this made him all the more joyful.
Simultaneously flew instinctively towards the Red Sky Palace, calculating how to fabricate the so-called evidence.
He was too familiar with every void and ruin here, not even needing to look.
Until his disciples’ shocked exclamations stirred him awake.
"What’s going on?"
Yun Zaitian frowned, displeased.
"Palace, Palace Master, Red Sky Realm... Red Sky Realm..."
The few pointed forward, faces full of shock, panic, incoherence.
"What happened to the Red Sky Realm? Such a large Domain, could it be gone!"
Yun Zaitian impatiently reprimanded and turned to look in the direction of the Red Sky Palace.
Upon seeing a void surrounded by ruins, empty, his mind flashed with the same blank void:
"The Red Sky Realm... is gone?!"
