484: Conquer Fengyu

Wind Jade felt the invisible Dao power giant hand constricting him tighten slightly, and the shadow of death engulfed him like an icy tide. His Divine Soul trembled violently, and he no longer dared to hesitate for a moment, almost roaring out:

"Senior, spare my life! Junior... Junior is already at the Golden Immortal Realm, and is a registered Provisional Command Envoy at the headquarters! My Natal Soul Imprint is stored in the 'Myriad Souls Hall' at the Heaven Patrol Pavilion headquarters! This is a privilege only for Heavenly Patrol Guard Provisional Command Envoys and above! Junior came here by order this time, and there is a clear record in the Archives Department. If Junior perishes here, the Soul Imprint will immediately shatter and send a warning!"

He spoke extremely fast, fearing that a moment's delay would result in his demise:

"At that time, it won't just be my Wind Emissary Lineage that's alarmed! The Heavenly Patrol Guard' Four Emissaries of Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, and even higher-level big figures will surely know! The demise of a Provisional Command Envoy is enough to trigger the highest level of investigation by the Heavenly Patrol Guard! Senior's Divine Ability is peerless, so naturally you are fearless, but being targeted by the entire Heavenly Patrol Guard, and even the entire Tianyi Immortal Dynasty, must... must also be a huge trouble!"

Wind Jade swallowed with difficulty, continuing to raise the stakes, his voice filled with urgency born of despair:

"Moreover! Once it's confirmed that Junior perished because I was tracking Senior, the Immortal Dynasty is very likely... very likely to summon the true 'sky patrol mirror' Main Body! That is the supreme treasure left by the Immortal Dynasty's Old Ancestor, containing the power to monitor all heavens and trace back Origin! At that time, as long as Senior is still within the Nirvana Realm, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape being locked on!"

By the end, he was practically pleading: "Senior! Junior is willing to lead my subordinates, offer our Soul Blood, and pledge allegiance to you! I only ask Senior to spare our lives! With us as inside agents, we can not only buy you time and confuse the Immortal Dynasty's perception, but also provide you with the Immortal Dynasty's movements for you to command, Senior!"

Xiao Zhuo heard this, and a faint light flickered in his deep eyes. The Dao power giant hand gripping Wind Jade loosened slightly, allowing him to breathe.

He was indeed weighing his options.

Killing these few people in front of him, including this Early Stage Golden Immortal Wind Jade, would probably bring him about ten thousand Attribute Points.

This number was no longer a huge sum for him now; he could gather it by hunting a few more sea beast overlords in the Sea of Taboo.

In comparison, the possibilities Wind Jade brought up were indeed worth considering.

The demise of a Heaven Patrol Guard Golden Immortal was enough to draw the true attention of the Immortal Dynasty's higher-ups.

No matter where, a Golden Immortal was not a weakling.

If it really drew out the legendary sky patrol mirror Main Body, even if he possessed the Space-Time Spiritual Root and was skilled in concealment, within this Nirvana Realm, he couldn't guarantee that no accidents would occur.

What he needed most now was time!

As long as he had a few decades, or even less, with the panel and the Free and Natural Heavenly Art, he had absolute confidence in returning to Peak Great Luo, or even breaking through to a higher Realm!

By then, let alone the Wind Emissary Lineage, he would have no fear of the entire Tianyi Immortal Dynasty.

Moreover, his most important objective on this trip was to find the elusive "Ruins of the Lost" and locate the Time Spirit Root.

Wind Jade's immortal ship seemed to have the ability to detect space cracks, allowing it to navigate freely in this place.

If this person could help him search, it would undoubtedly greatly improve efficiency and save him a lot of effort.

An active, officially sanctioned mole who delivered himself to his doorstep seemed to have more long-term value than ten thousand-plus Attribute Points.

Thinking of this, the coldness in Xiao Zhuo's eyes slightly receded, and he spoke faintly: "Hand over your Soul Blood, open your Divine Soul core, and let this Lord set up a Restriction."

Upon hearing this, Wind Jade felt as if he had been granted a great pardon. How could he dare to hesitate in the slightest? He immediately forced out a drop of his incomparably brilliant golden Soul Blood, containing the power of his Origin Immortal Soul, and at the same time completely opened up his Divine Soul defenses, making a Soul Oath that he dared not violate.

Seeing this, Tian Yidao and the other four surviving Silver Edict Celestial Envoys scrambled to force out their respective Soul Blood and open their Divine Souls, fearing that a moment's delay would lead to them being casually crushed to death by that killing god.

Xiao Zhuo flicked his sleeve, collecting the five drops of Soul Blood into his Sea of Consciousness between his brows, and then divided five strands of Divine Thought, planting them into the Sea of Consciousness of the five individuals.

With just a thought from him, no matter how far apart they were, he could instantly make these five people perish, their Divine Souls annihilated.

At the same time, he also communicated remotely with Wind Jade through the Soul Blood and Restrictions.

"Very good." Xiao Zhuo released the Dao power restraint. "Wind Jade, pilot your immortal ship and search the Sea of Taboo with all your might for areas of spatial anomaly, especially clues regarding the 'Ruins of the Lost'. If you find anything, contact me immediately through the Sea of Consciousness Restriction."

"Yes, Master!" Wind Jade, having escaped death, bowed respectfully and accepted the order, his posture extremely humble.

Tian Yidao and the others prostrated themselves on the ground, not even daring to lift their heads.

"As for you..." Xiao Zhuo's gaze swept over Tian Yidao and the four others. "Cooperate with Wind Jade and search with all your might. If you dare to feign compliance or leak even a hint of information, you know the consequences."

"This subordinate would not dare! We swear to serve Master until death!" The four trembled all over and quickly pledged their loyalty.

They all knew the rumors of the Ruins of the Lost, but they had never imagined that one day they would have to search for it themselves.

Xiao Zhuo said no more. His figure flickered and he vanished from the spot, as if he had never appeared.

It was a long time after he left that Wind Jade and the others dared to slowly straighten up, looking at each other with fear of having survived a calamity and a hint of helpless bitterness in their eyes.

Who would have thought that a pursuit mission, which they had originally thought would be easily accomplished, would end up in such a state?

Not only did they lose one person, but they all became soul slaves to someone else.

But... to be alive was already a great fortune.

Wind Jade recalled the terror of being utterly powerless to resist just now, and his mind was devoid of any other thoughts, leaving only absolute awe and obedience.

He dared not delay, immediately returned to the immortal ship, activated it, and began meticulously exploring the Sea of Taboo according to Xiao Zhuo's command... As for Xiao Zhuo, after subduing Wind Jade and his group, he headed directly towards the terrifying abyssal trench where the ancient Dragon Whale mutant from his memory resided.

His cultivation had reached Peak Golden Immortal, and the means of controlling myriad Dao with the Dao Principle of Freedom could now be initially employed. Coupled with the Spirit Group Divine Ability, he had no more reservations.

A massacre with no suspense erupted in that tens of thousands of feet deep abyss.

That ancient Dragon Whale mutant, comparable to a Middle Stage Golden Immortal, though thick-skinned and possessing boundless vitality, still appeared fragile before Xiao Zhuo's Chaos Severing Spirit Group, which ignored defenses and annihilated everything.

After an intense battle, the colossal Dragon Whale finally let out an unwilling wail, being decomposed into the most primitive essence Qi by countless chaotic light rays. Along with countless sea beasts that were startled and swarmed madly from the abyss, it transformed into hundreds of thousands of Attribute Points added to the panel!

Having just completely cleared out this abyssal trench, the dense smell of blood was almost solidified.

Xiao Zhuo was about to find a place to digest his gains when his brow suddenly twitched.

Through the Restriction connection, he clearly sensed the violent emotional fluctuations coming from Wind Jade's side—a mix of shock, uncertainty, and a hint of excitement at discovering a major clue.

Immediately after, Wind Jade's Divine Thought transmission, filled with extreme respect and cautiousness, sounded directly in his mind:

"Ma... Master! This subordinate... this subordinate seems to have found it! Three hundred thousand li ahead, there is an extremely unstable Void Realm turbulent current zone, and within it... within it, there seems to be a huge, broken entrance hidden! The aura it emits is extremely ancient, very similar to the 'Ruins of the Lost' described in ancient texts!"

A terrifying gleam suddenly erupted in Xiao Zhuo's eyes!

Finally... found it?

He didn't hesitate at all. His figure instantly merged into the Void Realm and sped towards the coordinates given by Wind Jade.
