340: Chapter 340 I must see him in person!
After a long while, Fu Tianming slowly withdrew his hand and stood where he was.
Ten thousand years of hatred, avenged in a single day.
Was it satisfying?
Of course it was satisfying.
But what followed, surging into his heart, was not the complete liberation and joy he had imagined, but a sense of emptiness after something immense was suddenly pulled away.
As the hatred dissipated, he felt as if he had briefly lost his direction.
He just stood there quietly for a long time.
Until Su Mo's voice sounded again, carrying his usual indifference: "Are you done?"
Fu Tianming slowly opened his eyes; the violent and crazy colors that had churned within them for ten thousand years had completely dissipated.
He looked at Su Mo, then at the phantom of the Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable hovering quietly nearby, and at Three Eyes, who was curiously looking around. He took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yeah, it's over."
Su Mo nodded, seemingly unsurprised by his state.
"If it's over, then come with me." Su Mo turned around. "Your business is finished, but mine hasn't even begun yet."
The resources that the Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable left in the Meteorite Sea were still waiting for him to retrieve.
Upon hearing this, Fu Tianming was silent for a moment, then nodded, a rare hint of relaxation appearing on his face:
"Alright."
The two did not speak further. Their figures turned into two streaks of light, one cyan and one gray, and sped off toward the Meteorite Sea as indicated by the Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
Under the instruction of the Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable, Three Eyes also hurriedly followed.
With a single step, it caught up to Su Mo's figure, its speed extremely fast.
...
Meanwhile, countless miles away from Withered Bone Demon Mountain, deep within a magnificent complex of buildings floating above the nine heavens, surrounded by Immortal Qi.
This was the headquarters of the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance.
Inside the most imposing and majestic main hall, the atmosphere was heavy.
More than a dozen Elders, whose Auras were as deep as the sea and whose cultivation was at least at the Late Golden Immortal stage, were lined up on both sides of the hall.
Some had white hair and a celestial demeanor; some had ancient faces that were imposing without being angry; some had Laws faintly visible around them, presenting a grand spectacle.
At this moment, most of them were frowning slightly, their gazes occasionally cast toward a golden point of light hovering in the center of the hall.
"Everyone has seen the last message sent back by Zhao Cangqiong."
A middle-aged Elder dressed in purple-gold Daoist robes with a face like jade spoke first, his voice echoing in the hall:
"He claimed to have discovered a Fallen Immortal possessing an Indestructible Dao Body, whose strength was bizarre and might pose a threat to the Immortal Alliance, and requested support from headquarters. But shortly after, he lost contact."
"This old man has already used the 'Universal Star Divination Technique' to deduce it."
The old man holding a starlight compass—Elder Kuyang—said in a deep voice:
"The heavenly secrets regarding that Fallen Immortal are in complete Chaos, and it is impossible to trace his Origins. As for the last place where Zhao Cangqiong appeared, it was Withered Bone Demon Mountain, which is the territory of the Inverse Immortal Alliance."
He furrowed his brows, his aged face full of confusion:
"There is only one point that this old man cannot fathom. The state of Zhao Cangqiong's Divine Soul mark... is too bizarre. It shatters one moment, and restores to wholeness the next, as if he could return from the dead."
Upon hearing this, deep confusion and contemplation appeared on the faces of all the Elders in the hall.
The Divine Soul mark was condensed by core members of the Immortal Alliance using their Origin Divine Soul and was closely linked to the state of their physical bodies.
This state, between shattered and complete, as if repeatedly jumping on the edge of death, was truly unheard of.
A white-haired Elder standing in the corner, who had been muttering to himself just now, suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp light:
"In Zhao Cangqiong's message, doesn't the Aura that could neutralize attacks resemble Chaos Qi?"
"And that Indestructible Dao Body... is also one of the supreme Physiques recorded in ancient secret texts, which hasn't appeared in the world for hundreds of thousands of years! Could it actually be gathered in one person now? And he is also a... Fallen Immortal?"
The hall fell silent, reflecting the changing expressions of the Elders.
"If such a variable cannot be used by our Immortal Alliance..."
The middle-aged Elder in the purple-gold robes from before, Elder Qingxu, spoke slowly, a flash of ferocity in his eyes:
"It will surely become a major threat!"
"Indeed!"
"We should immediately send someone to investigate!"
"We must find out the background of this person, and if possible, bring him back to the Immortal Alliance!"
Other Elders echoed, and the atmosphere suddenly became murderous and urgent.
The potential and mystery displayed by Su Mo had already aroused the vigilance of the highest level of the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance.
Just as the Elders reached a consensus and were preparing to discuss the specific plan for sending personnel.
"Silence."
A calm yet containing supreme majesty voice came from the highest point of the main hall.
The voice was not loud, but it instantly suppressed all discussion.
On the nine-level white jade steps, it was unknown when, but someone was already sitting in the Alliance Leader's throne that had always been empty.
It was a young man dressed in plain white brocade robes, with black hair like ink draped over his shoulders.
His face was handsome to the point of being demonic, yet it did not make people feel the slightest bit effeminate; instead, it possessed an indifference and detachment that transcended all living beings.
He was resting his chin casually on one hand, as if he had just awakened from a long doze or contemplation.
The most heart-palpitating thing was his eyes.
They were a pair of black eyes that were pure to the extreme, deep and boundless, as if they could swallow everything.
He was the current Alliance Leader of the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance, Yun Wuya, who was honored as the "Yunxiao Immortal Venerable".
Yun Wuya's gaze did not seem to be focused on any of the Elders, but fell casually on the golden point of light in the center of the hall.
His voice sounded again:
"Elders, there is no need to discuss this further."
"Trouble yourselves to set off immediately, go to the Northern Region, Withered Bone Demon Mountain."
The corners of his mouth seemed to curve upward ever so slightly, the arc cold and devoid of warmth.
"Find that Fallen Immortal who possesses Chaos Qi and is suspected of having an Indestructible Dao Body."
"Bring him back."
"This Seat..."
In Yun Wuya's black eyes that swallowed all light, something indescribable seemed to flash by.
"Wants to see him in person."
No explanation, no reason, only an order that could not be disobeyed.
"We respectfully obey the Alliance Leader's decree!"
All the Elders in the hall, regardless of what they were thinking, all straightened their expressions at this moment, bowed in unison to accept the order, their voices loud and resounding in the hall.
The next moment, more than ten streaks of light of various colors, but all containing the majestic pressure of Golden Immortals, soared into the sky from various parts of the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance headquarters.
Tearing through layers of clouds and spatial barriers, they shot firmly and at an astonishing speed toward the direction of Withered Bone Demon Mountain in the Northern Region.
