Chapter 670: Waiting for the Return of Celestial Sovereign, and the Execution of the Traitor!

Qiao Nanyi sneered, "Still claiming it’s for Celestial Sovereign? You are only doing this for yourself. With this spiritual energy, if you cultivate for another thousand years, you might just reach the Immortal Being realm."

Qingwu’s eyes burned with intensity.

He persuaded, "Second Brother, when the Old Patriarch entrusted the responsibility to us, you were young, and Jialan Celestial Mountain is unique. It was my hard work that sustained the position of Jialan Celestial Mountain in the Upper Realm. The Old Patriarch has shown us kindness, but we must think for ourselves, right?"

One can’t live their entire life just following orders, after all.

Qiao Nanyi raised an eyebrow. "So?"

"The true body of Celestial Sovereign shouldn’t be on Jialan Celestial Mountain. If you tell me where the Immortal World’s true body is, I have a technique for absorbing spiritual energy. If we cultivate together and absorb Celestial Sovereign’s power, we will surely ascend!" Qingwu’s excitement grew as he spoke. "Then, we will live as long as the sun and moon, with boundless power!"

Master Ji was also in a state of shock, his eyes wide open.

He almost blurted out: Take me with you!

Every cultivator’s ultimate goal is—ascension!

Qiao Nanyi couldn’t help but smile. "I’m not like you. You’re ambitious, but I only wish to remain loyal to Celestial Sovereign."

Qingwu’s expression darkened.

He was about to condense his sword intent.

Qiao Nanyi glanced at him, slowly speaking, "I can’t beat you, but you can’t kill me either."

He had already mounted his flying sword.

"Clean your neck and wait. When Celestial Sovereign returns, we will return to Jialan Celestial Mountain and execute you, the traitor."

With that, he soared away with a swoosh.

Qingwu was infuriated.

He swung his sleeve and smashed a nearby massive stone.

Shards of stone flew, and dust swirled around.

Master Ji finally regained his composure. He slowly stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Grand Elder Qingwu, why didn’t you chase after him?"

Perhaps Qiao Nanyi was heading to find Celestial Sovereign’s true body.

"No use following him." Qingwu’s voice was cold. "Siheng has everything planned and probably won’t reveal his hiding place to Qiao Nanyi."

After all, if Qiao Nanyi was caught, Siheng would be putting himself in danger.

Master Ji began to feel uneasy. "Celestial Sovereign is seeking revenge for the Evil Girl. Once his true body unites with his Nascent Soul, we may be in for a disaster. What should we do?"

His voice trembled as he spoke.

Qingwu clasped his hands behind his back. "His Nascent Soul has been repeatedly damaged, and uniting with his true body won’t be that easy. Even if he succeeds, and awakens, his cultivation won’t be what it once was. With the four of us joining forces, we should have no problem defeating him."

Although he said this, Master Ji knew that Siheng was extraordinarily gifted and was the first to ascend from the Immortal World. He still felt fear in his heart.

He then asked, "What about Nanli? Can you kill her?"

Mentioning her irritated Qingwu.

"That thief’s protector arrived, and they managed to escape for now. But Island Master Yan’s wind blade should be able to track her down and severely injure her."

Master Ji had barely managed to hold his own against Qiao Nanyi, so he dared not speak further.

But then Qingwu suddenly asked, "Is Valley Master Yang dead?"

Master Ji nodded sorrowfully.

Qingwu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Since she’s dead, the previous oath no longer stands."

Master Ji immediately understood that Qingwu was planning to take the Glassy Bottle from Frosty Valley!

He took a deep breath, formulating a plan.

If the Glassy Bottle from Frosty Valley was divided among them, the Spirit Trees of their four sects would grow more prosperous, with more spiritual energy. This would benefit their cultivation and help recover from injuries, a good thing at this critical moment.

But Qingwu saw through Master Ji’s thoughts and immediately said, "The Glassy Bottle will be mine."

"What?!" Master Ji’s expression changed instantly. "When we exterminated the gods, we agreed to share our fortune and misfortune. How could you want to swallow it all by yourself?!"

Qingwu showed no hint of guilt, and in fact, seemed to think it was only natural.

He lifted his chin slightly. "Among the four of us, I am the strongest. If I can refine the flesh and inner dan of the Glassy Bottle, perhaps I can break through to Immortal Being. By then, I will have the power to fight Siheng."

"Master Ji, I’m not doing this for myself. I’m doing it for everyone. You don’t want to be helpless when we face Celestial Sovereign, do you?"

Master Ji’s face showed some anger.

But he quickly suppressed it.

Even if Qingwu ultimately did it for himself, if his strength increased, he might be able to hold off Celestial Sovereign. That wouldn’t be a bad thing.

In the grand scheme of things, as long as Qingwu carried the weight, he would be less in danger.

"Then Grand Elder, go ahead," Master Ji said.

Qingwu smiled when he saw Master Ji’s understanding. "Alright, then you go assist Island Master Yan."

He gave Master Ji a direction and then left.

Master Ji’s expression was dark, and he clenched his fists for a while before setting off to find Yan Buxiu.

At this moment.

Nanli had already sensed that the puppet was nearly done for.

Behind her, a wind blade was hot on her heels.

The power of the wind blade was immense, and if it caught up with her, she would suffer grave injuries, or worse, lose her life.

She shouted to the Hairpin Elf, "Why are you flying slower and slower?!"

The Hairpin Elf nearly spat blood.

It turned back and glared at Nanli. "I’m just a small hairpin. To me, you’re a giant! It’s impressive enough that I can fly. How dare you tell me to go faster!"

Just as it spoke, the Hairpin Elf’s face changed.

"Master, there’s not enough spiritual energy left! We can’t fly anymore!"

Nanli rolled her eyes and ordered the Hairpin Elf to descend.

The moment they landed, the wind blade rushed at them.

The stones and trees ahead were sliced in half.

Nanli wanted to intercept, but seeing this, she immediately abandoned the idea.

"Master!" the Hairpin Elf cried in panic. "It’s coming!"

Nanli quickly tossed out a talisman, formed a seal, and shouted, "Open the door!"

Behind them, a Nether Sect appeared and slowly opened.

She quickly pushed the door open, entered, and quickly closed it.

Once the door was shut, although the Nether Sect hadn’t dissipated yet, the wind blade couldn’t break through and couldn’t cause any harm.

But the wind blade lost its target and hovered in place.

Soon after, Master Ji and Yan Buxiu arrived one after the other.

Seeing that the wind blade hadn’t been destroyed, they were stunned.

Yan Buxiu withdrew the wind blade and asked, "Where is she? How could there be no trace?"

Even with the Invisible Talisman, her aura shouldn’t have vanished.

Master Ji scanned the surroundings. "Maybe she has some other hiding treasures."

Yan Buxiu gritted his teeth in frustration. "She’s just a Golden Core! How could she escape like this? What face do we have left?"

Master Ji, on the other hand, accepted the situation. He shrugged and said, "She’s not an ordinary person. Issue a wanted notice to both the Upper and Lower Realms. If she appears, she’ll have nowhere to hide."

He was seriously injured, so he needed to return to heal.

Yan Buxiu’s eyes narrowed. "Capture the Chu family, and I don’t believe she won’t show up!"

Master Ji raised an eyebrow. "Don’t go off track. If we deal with ordinary people, we’ll bring down heavenly retribution."

This was an action with no benefits.
