Chapter 272: Chapter 263: Dueling Over a Call

Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, atop the snow peaks.

"This Great Dao is indeed quite interesting." A faint, cloud-like ethereal voice came from the distant skies, capturing the attention of Liang Yi and others.

Hearing this voice, Liang Yi and Su Youyi looked up in surprise and saw a figure in a white robe, smiling in the midst of wind and snow, slowly stepping through the air towards them.

"Master!"

The newcomer was none other than Chen Hua, who had just finished drinking with Zhou Yuzhi and others and returned on a whim, catching sight of the scene that had just unfolded.

"This little guy indeed has remarkable potential, more impressive than that old man Grand Saint of Nine Spirits in the future. Just shouldn’t be so greedy anymore." Chen Hua said with a smile to the ginger cat in Liang Yi’s arms, who was suffering from a stomachache.

"Who would be greedy for such nasty stuff, meow! I did it to show these youngsters who haven’t seen the world a thing or two!" The ginger cat protested with its neck stuck out.

It wouldn’t admit that it had only remembered a bit of the Transformation Skill and forgot that it hadn’t mastered the skill, which was why it couldn’t digest its food and got a stomachache.

"Alright, I’ve finished what I needed to do here; let’s return to the sect." Chen Hua had no intention of staying long; it would be better to head to Desert North to ask that bald old man about the Abyss affair.

"Mhm." Liang Yi and Su Youyi naturally had no objections.

Purple Cloud’s physique was weak and was not suitable for prolonged activities outside. He had already returned to the Purple Cloud Sect to continue preparing to recruit disciples. Liang Yi had already told him that they would soon welcome a large batch of quality Disciples.

"Then, this junior will take leave first!" Sugar Cookie Su was entirely focused on the wonderful future that the ginger cat had just shown her, and she wanted to return as soon as possible to digest and comprehend it.

Before leaving, she still gave Su Youyi a bright smile: "Junior Sister Su, remember to come and hang out with me more!"

"Yes!" Su Youyi nodded, feeling very congenial towards this senior sister.

"Let’s go!"

Under Sugar Cookie Su’s gaze, Chen Hua turned around and, with a sweep of his sleeve, brought Liang Yi and Su Youyi directly into the air, leaving only petals of plum blossoms fluttering to the ground.

"By the way, do you still remember Zhou Wudao from the Secret Realm?"

On their way, Chen Hua suddenly recalled the Prince from the Immortal Dynasty; apparently, someone powerful had erased his presence for a period.

"The Prince of the Immortal Dynasty?"

When Su Youyi heard this name again, a layer of mysterious fog quietly dissipated deep within her Sea of Consciousness, and the memories related to Zhou Wudao resurfaced.

Liang Yi’s expression also changed as he realized something was amiss.

Although he had joined halfway through and had not interacted with those people before, and had not heard anyone mention Zhou Wudao during the honeymoon with his junior sister, he hadn’t given it much thought.

But now that he thought about it, seven of the eight Super Forces were present at that time, with only Zhou Wudao from the Immortal Dynasty missing. It was so strange that he hadn’t noticed it, as if some mysterious force had influenced him to overlook this issue.

At the same time, the fog that had sealed Zhou Wudao’s memory inside Liang Yi’s Sea of Consciousness also began to slowly dissipate.

On the other hand, the ginger cat showed no unusual expression; after all, apart from Liang Yi, it didn’t recognize anyone else.

Chen Hua observed the changes in his two Disciples. The moment an anomaly occurred in the Sea of Consciousness of Su Youyi and Liang Yi, the three halted sharply in mid-air, and Chen Hua decisively took action!

Sword Intent, dazzling enough to obscure the Big Sun, turned instantly into a spring drizzle as fine as cow’s hair, silently infiltrating into the Divine Soul of Liang Yi and Su Youyi. Both of them shuddered, but forcefully suppressed their body’s defensive instincts, allowing Chen Hua’s Sword Intent to penetrate their Divine Soul.

"Despicable beings, get out!"

Chen Hua’s voice burst forth like a lotus, thunderous, directly stiffening the lingering fog within the Divine Soul of his two beloved Disciples.

In that brief moment of stiffness, Chen Hua’s gentle yet relentless spring rain-like Sword Intent shot forth, completely enveloping the remaining fog from all directions. Before the fog could react, it was wrapped up thoroughly, and with an invisible mighty force added, it could no longer dissipate freely.

The entire process was extremely brief; under Chen Hua’s control, all Sword Qi didn’t even touch Liang Yi and Su Youyi’s Divine Souls in the slightest.

Before their eyes, things became a blur, and two groups of hazy fog were extracted from within their bodies by Chen Hua’s Sword Qi, appearing before them.

"What is this? Hmm, my body feels so comfortable." Liang Yi felt inexplicably relaxed, his mind was refreshing, and the exhaustion from his body had eased a lot. Looking at his junior sister’s expression, she seemed to be feeling the same way.

"I just took the liberty of treating your bodily injuries, so it’s normal to feel like this," Chen Hua explained with a smile. But when his gaze turned to the two groups of fog, his smile faded, and his expression became sharp.

"As for this, it’s what has been clouding the minds of all of you."

The fog trapped within the Sword Intent Prison abruptly dashed left and right, attempting to escape or dissipate on the spot.

However, no matter how it struggled, the Sword Intent surrounding it was indifferent like the world’s softest yet hardest flow of water, and the invisible force from Chen Hua prevented it from dispersing on the spot.

"This aura... is it the Abyss?" Liang Yi inexplicably felt a familiar aura from the fog.

"It is definitely the Abyss, this filthy, nauseating stench I could detect from eight hundred miles away!" The moment Mr. Tangerine saw the two groups of fog, he entered a state of agitated fury, even baring claws that had always been retracted, looking at the fog with disgust in his eyes.

Su Youyi’s expression changed slightly, her hand already gripping the sword hilt, ready to draw her sword and strike at any command from her master. Whether it was the Abyss or the remnants of its lackeys, they all deserved to die!

"I know you can hear me, won’t you come out for a chat?" Chen Hua was calm, speaking in a light tone.

Looking at the situation, it might be those Abyssal lackeys from the Devouring Spirit Sect or the remnants of the Abyss hiding somewhere unknown.

Hearing Chen Hua’s words, the struggling fog suddenly quieted down, silently floating within the Sword Intent Prison. However, in the next moment, one of the fogs started to move, its surface, which had been smooth, began to wriggle.

Under the watchful eyes of the three people and one cat from the outside, it gradually changed shape. After several breaths, a face appeared within the prison that altered with every breath.

"Humph, truly a Banished Immortal, with such sharp senses."

A spectral, hoarse voice emanated from the face, as it looked at Chen Hua and coldly laughed.

"You’ve expended so much effort to send a sliver of your Divine Sense over here, surely not just to spout some nonsense? Could you tell me exactly what you are?" Chen Hua was genuinely interested in this mutable fog.

"Don’t think of tricking me into talking. I simply came to see what the Banished Immortal, known as the foremost in this epoch, is all about, to see if he can be of use to my Abyss." The tone of the fog’s face was hoarse, but it carried an inexplicable aura of superiority.

"It’s quite unexpected that the Taoist Sect hasn’t been wiped out yet!"

Seeing that the face didn’t fall into the philosophical quandary of whether or not it was a ’something,’ Chen Hua felt a bit regretful, and his retort to the mysterious person was somewhat noncommittal.

"How can the Taoist Sect dare to perish before those Abyssal vermin are exterminated."

"So, you are Liang Yi, huh? Those useless fools from the Devouring Spirit Sect haven’t killed you yet?" The mysterious person wasn’t annoyed by Chen Hua’s words, instead, casting a strange look at Liang Yi.

He remembered that when this youngster was still an ordinary person, the great beings of the Abyss issued an Execution Order to the Demon Spirit lineage still active outside the Abyss, yet, to his surprise, that inept group failed their mission.

Hearing this, Su Youyi’s fair face turned icy, barely restraining herself from drawing her sword to slay this remnant of the Abyss!

Time and again they targeted her senior brother, with the Abyss being the culprit that almost led to his death and the extinction of his path. If her goal in cultivating before was to protect her senior brother, now, she had another: to utterly eradicate the Abyss.

"Like master, like servant; you shouldn’t mock others when you’re just trash that has been sealed with a flick of a wrist for two epochs of invasions." Liang Yi was not one to take insults lying down. Back then, that person who could unleash eighteen retorts in a second and make the opposition online retreat in defeat was none other than Liang Yi himself.

Now, this mysterious person was nothing more than a powerless clump of fog, no different from those keyboard warriors that only act tough online. Believe it or not, with a keyboard in hand, he could make you cry in minutes!

"Humph, sharp tongue!" Although both invasions had led directly to the decline of those epochs, the twin experiences of failure were indeed a disgrace to the Abyss, and being reminded of this by Liang Yi surely did not help his self-image.

Just then, Chen Hua, who had been maintaining his composure until now, suddenly showed a smiling demeanor, quietly saying:

"I’ve found you!"
