Chapter 436 Famous Throughout the Floating Life Domain
With this blow, the human and the corpse were evenly matched.
However, this was the territory of the Corpse Clan. If a battle at the level of a Sacred Monarch were to truly break out, it would inevitably attract more powerful members of the Corpse Clan.
At that point, it would no longer be just a minor conflict.
It could very likely trigger a war between the two races.
Therefore, Zhao Shujie decisively backed down; he could not afford to bear that responsibility.
The Flying General of the Corpse Clan stood in the thick mist. The intense red light in his two pupils slowly dissipated, and a coarse sound like grinding gongs came from his chest and abdomen: "Only this once!"
"If this General discovers any more members of the Human Race daring to intrude into the Guqiu Domain, they shall stay forever and become members of my Corpse Clan!"
After saying this, layers of mist surrounded him, slowly obscuring his towering figure.
"Wait..." Zhao Yuanren still wanted to say something, but Zhao Shujie had already grabbed him, swept up Dong Ting and the other, and flew directly away from Shengjue Ridge, reaching a point a thousand miles away.
"What is going on?" Zhao Shujie's gaze was sharp, his face taut, and his expression was extremely serious.
At the border between the Guqiu Domain and the Fusheng Domain, a Sacred Monarch was stationed every certain distance, precisely to guard against a sudden attack by the Corpse Clan.
And at this section of Shengjue Ridge, it was Zhao Shujie who was stationed there.
He had sensed the Flying General leave his original location and followed him all the way here, which was how he saw this scene.
If he handled it carelessly today and triggered a war between the two races, his Zhao Family would have to take the blame, which would inevitably deal a significant blow to the Zhao Family.
"Fifth Ancestor, listen to me!"
Seeing Zhao Shujie's expression, Zhao Yuanren felt a shiver in his heart and hurriedly recounted the ins and outs of the matter in detail: "This little beast's background is mysterious, and his talent is extremely high. Given time, he will surely become a great disaster for our Zhao Family!"
After listening, Zhao Shujie could not help but show a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"With a cultivation in the Divine Ability Realm, he was actually able to injure all three of you at the same time?"
"This kid truly has some background!"
"However, do not worry."
Zhao Shujie gave the three of them a reassurance: "The environment of the Guqiu Domain is different from the Fusheng Domain. It is filled with Death Qi and devoid of life. There is no Origin Qi in the heavens and earth, nor are there any Origin Stone mines underground for people to Cultivate."
"With his Divine Ability Realm cultivation, it is difficult for him to survive there for long, let alone Cultivate to achieve a Breakthrough in Realm."
"And without a Breakthrough, and without having Cultivated magical power, he cannot erase the tracking mark you left on him. You can sense him at any time."
"You may subsequently dispatch experts to guard Shengjue Ridge to prevent him from escaping the Guqiu Domain. That shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Zhao Yuanren's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly nodded: "It is not difficult! In this way, this little beast will surely die!"
"Hmm."
Zhao Shujie nodded slightly and then instructed: "You can subsequently send a message to the clan and have the Family investigate what this kid's background actually is."
"Junfeng would not have been killed by him for no reason. Perhaps he already knew this kid's identity!"
...
In the Guqiu Domain, the Flying General stood high in the sky.
His pair of pale pupils seemed to pierce through the thick gray mist, crossing over Shengjue Ridge to see the conversation between Zhao Shujie and the others.
After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and looked down.
On this vast territory ruled by the Dominator of death, there were continuous mounds of graves everywhere. In the distance, there were giant tombs standing like mountains, as well as ordinary graves scattered like stars.
The surface soil was dark purple, burying endless withered bones. The Corpse Qi accumulated over the years condensed into substance, turning into gray, purple, and black mists that shrouded the entire world.
If human Cultivators stayed here for a long time, both their Physical Body and Divine Soul would be slowly eroded, eventually turning into members of the Corpse Clan.
In the distance of the land, there were swarms of low-level wandering corpses patrolling along fixed routes.
They had shallow intelligence and only knew how to obey orders.
As for some of the zombies that had already formed, such as White Zombies, Black Zombies, and Jumping Zombies, most of them were entrenched within main tombs, responsible for giving orders to the wandering corpses in a region.
Although these formed zombies had intelligence no lower than humans, they could not yet fly.
Only by becoming a Flying Zombie could one roam freely within the Guqiu Domain.
A Flying Zombie was equivalent to a Saint in martial arts cultivation.
According to the division of the Saint Realm, from bottom to top, every three stages were Corpse Saint, General, and King General.
Zhao Shujie said that the Flying General was one of the best among the Corpse Clan Generals; although there was a suspicion of flattery, it was enough to show the power of the Flying General.
The Flying General's gaze swept across the land for a thousand miles.
Every wisp of Corpse Qi in this area seemed to have established a connection with him, becoming an extension of his perception.
After a moment, he withdrew his perception.
A thought was transmitted from his mind, spreading across thousands of miles.
I saw that on the ground, one grave after another split from the middle, the coffins sealed inside were moved, and pale arms crawled out from the black-purple soil.
They had received the Flying General's order to search for the living people in this region and let that living person who dared to intrude into the Guqiu Domain have nowhere to hide...
...
At the same time that this great chase occurring inside and outside Shengjue Ridge ended, far away in the Cold Ice Holy Sect of the northern Qiongtian Great Domain, the Inner Sect's Third Elder, He Qi, also received news from the Fusheng Domain.
The moment Zhao Family's Seventh Young Master, Zhao Junfeng, learned that Yan Chu was not Kang Zhe, he ordered someone to send the news to the Cold Ice Holy Sect.
And as the only Sect with a connection to the Lower Realm, the Cold Ice Holy Sect almost immediately determined Yan Chu's identity.
Kang Zhe was already dead, having died in the Lower Realm.
And the most likely person to be able to use his name to appear in the Upper Realm was only the Lower Realm's number one expert, Blade Demon Yan Chu.
The young man who appeared in the Fusheng Domain also used a blade.
Comparing this, there was no longer any doubt about Yan Chu's identity. He did not know what method he used to successfully Ascend to the Upper Realm.
Therefore, Third Elder He Qi personally led people to leave the Qiongtian Great Domain, boarded the teleportation array, and headed towards the Fusheng Domain, which was billions and billions of miles away.
"Remember, no matter what method you use, no matter what price you pay, you must bring this person back to the Sect!"
Before leaving, Sect Master Zhuge Xun personally instructed.
Yan Chu's current value was too great; not only did it concern the Lower Realm, but there was also his mysterious background, all of which the Cold Ice Holy Sect wanted to know.
...
In the Fusheng Domain, the battle that took place at Wuyun Ridge and the subsequent great escape spread throughout the entire Domain at an astonishing speed.
The Fusheng Domain was vast and boundless, with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles.
Even if a Saint were to travel day and night without stopping, it would take decades to traverse the entire Domain.
But the spread of news was far faster than the speed of a Saint.
Here, communication Magic Treasures were extremely common, not to mention the forces everywhere selling information.
What people were shocked by was not that a battle at the Saint level had occurred.
What they were shocked by was that someone was able to, while in the Divine Ability Realm, heavily injure three Saints and ultimately escape safely from their pursuit.
This fact was simply too exaggerated.
"Latest news! Latest news!!"
In a trading marketplace, a sudden loud shout attracted the attention of those around.
"That person's identity has been verified; he is not Kang Zhe of the Cold Ice Holy Sect!"
"He is a Prodigy who Ascended from a Small World."
"His name is Blade Demon Yan Chu!!"
