"It’s really you!"
Seeing Su Changkong riding on the back of a white crane, a trace of joy surfaced on the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s face.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man had been pursued. He fled towards Great Flame City specifically to make his pursuers hesitate, but he had not expected to sense Su Changkong’s presence nearby. The instant he did, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man immediately flew in that direction and, sure enough, saw Su Changkong returning!
Su Changkong stared at him expressionlessly, "You’ve led the trouble to me?"
Su Changkong’s Turtle-breath Function could hide his presence, but when he deployed his Pseudo Divine Skill to fly, it naturally leaked some spiritual energy, which the Heavenly Corpse Old Man, adept in tracking and sensing such energy, had detected from far away.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s face stiffened, and he smiled sheepishly, yet being cornered with nowhere to run, how could he care about that?
"Another person?"
At that moment, a deep voice sounded.
Not far from them in the sky, two figures emerged, one after the other, standing in mid-air, blocking the area.
Both men were wrapped in black streams of energy, flapping like wings, carrying their bodies in flight.
And those capable of flying are certainly not weak!
The speaker was an exceptionally burly man who looked like a towering spirit with a rough and fierce face, carrying a huge axe. His skin was etched with black lines, radiating a faint black glow.
The other man’s skin also bore black engravings, his face was stern, his black hair hung loose, and at his waist hung a Longsword, his gaze locked onto the Heavenly Corpse Old Man and Su Changkong.
The burly man turned to Su Changkong, his voice solemn, "Who are you? Do you intend to meddle in the affairs of the Sacred Heart Alliance?"
"Sacred Heart Alliance?"
Upon hearing this name, Su Changkong immediately understood their identities – they were from the Evil Sect of the Demon Gate!
Su Changkong knew that the Evil Sects of the Demon Gate had formed an alliance to cope with the turmoil, called the Sacred Heart Alliance!
But if it was the Sacred Heart Alliance, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man was also from the Heavenly Corpse Sect of the Demon Gate, and by all accounts should be a part of the Sacred Heart Alliance too. So why were the experts of the Sacred Heart Alliance pursuing the Heavenly Corpse Old Man?
His thoughts racing, Su Changkong shook his head, "I have no desire to interfere in someone else’s affairs. This is your own problem to deal with. I’ll be taking my leave!"
Su Changkong did not wish to meddle. Although the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had previously helped Su Changkong find the location of the Life Extinguishing Association, it was to repay a prior favor to Superior Xuanming. The two deeds offset each other, settling both gratitude and grudges.
Why would he get involved in trouble for the Heavenly Corpse Old Man, who was essentially a devil at heart?
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man wanted to say something, but Su Changkong coldly transmitted his voice, "If you try to drag me into trouble, not only will I not help you, but I will also join forces with them against you!"
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s mouth twitched, knowing full well the formidable nature of Dao Wufeng. He swallowed his words, fearing that offending Su Changkong would backfire.
The two Sacred Heart Alliance experts exchanged a glance. The identity of this man riding a white crane was unknown to them, but the Heavenly Corpse Old Man was their target, and they didn’t need unnecessary complications.
Therefore, the sword-bearing cold man spoke up, "In that case, you should leave quickly, sir!"
"Hmm."
Su Changkong nodded, with no intention of intervening in the grudges of the Sacred Heart Alliance.
"Dao Wufeng, now that we have run into each other, why the hurry to leave?"
But at that moment, a voice tinged with laziness arose.
Among the clouds, black threads intertwined, gradually coalescing into a figure.
It was a towering man in black armor, in his thirties, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, but with black lips. Black demonic patterns wrapped around his face and the skin that was exposed, adding a sinister air to his appearance.
"Mo Junling!"
Seeing this person, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s expression turned unsightly. Mo Junling was the very culprit who had seriously wounded him!
The man in black armor fixed his gaze on Su Changkong, his face bearing an inexplicable expression. Seeing Su Changkong mounted on the white crane, he further decided upon his identity.
Dao Wufeng, a man who rose to fame rapidly after the arrival of the spiritual energy tide, included Su Changkong’s achievements of consecutive attacks on four Evil Sects of the Demon Gate, all of which happened to be part of the Sacred Heart Alliance.
The presence of this man wearing the black armor was profound, unquestionably among the mightiest of the mighty.
