Chapter 958: Escape
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The three young masters were standing outside the forest and waiting for the three thousand tribulation passing cultivators as well as their faction disciples to return. After the three of them forced Yin Manor and Nine Palaces to run away, they were still on guard against the two factions turning back midway and stealing an opportunity to plunder some of the godhoods.
But as long as no one was allowed into the forest, there was no need to worry about the godhoods inside with the three thousand cultivators and their faction disciples already being there.
Taoist young master looked at the clear and boundless sky and said cheerfully, “Dao friend, although this night pearl small world belongs to your Alliance, the forest wasn’t branded by the Alliance’s imprint. This should be factored in when dividing the share. I feel 33% would be fair while the remaining 1% can be left for the three thousand cultivators to contest.”
Buddha son, who stood next to him, had an indifferent expression when he said, “Dao friend, I feel this division is the most suitable.”
“You two dao friends are being greedy and trying to twist the logic. Even if this firest doesn’t have the stamp of the Alliance, it is still in the night pearl small world which belongs to the Alliance.
“Since it belongs to us, I must get a little more. You two dao friends helped me force out Yin Manor and Nine Palaces so you should also get a reasonable share. 50%, 40% and 10% would be most suitable,” True Son Duo Bao slowly said after hearing their words.
Buddha son and taoist young master shook their heads.
The three young masters couldn’t reach a consensus over the sharing method since the several hundred godhoods can create numerous true immortals. After all, even one branch with godhoods would lead to the birth of more than ten true immortals.
The position of the three young masters was only under the quasi sages of their faction. Even great principal golden immortal elders had to follow their commands when necessary.
But that position wasn’t completely stable. There were seven true sons in the Alliance, and Duo Bao was only one of them. Even if Old Ancestor Da Luo liked him the most, he couldn’t inherit the entire Alliance just because of that. It would depend more on his strength and influence.
All seven true sons were in the true immortal realm, so there wasn’t much disparity between them. That meant that the future victory would depend more on the forces under them. Every true son had at most three true immortals under them, so if Duo Bao could obtain 50% of the godhoods from the tree, the number of true immortals under him could increase by several hundred.
The disparity between the true sons would greatly increase all of a sudden, and Duo Bao could inherit all of the Alliance and become the highest leader.
The young master of taoists and buddha son were also in the same position. They had great authority but there were many people who had their gazes fixed on their position. The trip to the night pearl small world was an opportunity to settle that, so the more benefits they obtained the more stable their position would become.
True Son Duo Bao turned to look at the forest and said with a frown, “Strange. It has been so long since those three thousand cultivators as well as the disciples of your faction entered, so why haven’t they come out yet?”
The young master of taoists and buddha son also turned toward the forest with the same doubt in their heart. If the large group encountered some danger, then at least one of the three thousand cultivators should have run out to inform them. After all, the passage to the forest had not closed and was still open.
But if they didn’t encounter any danger, they should have plucked the godhoods long ago.
Why wasn’t there any movement inside then?
The three took out their voice transmission jade seals to contact their people inside, but there was no response from the other side. They wanted again after that with the suspicion in their hearts deepening with every minute.
“Oh, everyone is here. That saves me the trouble of finding you one by one.”
After a long silence, an unfamiliar person suddenly spoke up, and the three looked at the dark silhouette in the sky.
“Who are you?”
The lotus imprint on buddha son’s head flickered, and his sharp senses allowed him to sense a mysterious and formidable power which was similar to the deadly tribulations which he had encountered previously.
The sun and moon on the shoulder of the taoist young master flickered as the energy inside his body concentrated on one point, while the starry river domain appeared behind True Son Duo Bao, and the powerful pressure of countless treasures erupted.
Li Yunmu saw the three of them prepare for battle and shook his head. He waved his hand, and strands of demonic energy began to shuttle back and forth in the sky, then transformed into an army which rushed toward the three young masters.
Buddha son, who stood at the front, looked at the nasty demonic energy and directly threw the buddhist pearls in his hand. He had been thought previously that buddha pearls were the most effective weapons against the nasty demonic energies.
Runic imprints appeared on the buddhist pearls, and they began to burn with samadhi fire. It only took them a moment to turn into a fireball that crashed into the demonic energy.
Once the two touched, that string of buddhist pearls was corrupted and the samadhi fire was extinguished. The simple buddhist pearls instantly turned black, and due to his fate weapon being tarnished, buddha son’s complexion turned slightly yellow, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before he could react, the demonic energy which had turned into an army enveloped him.
The taoist young master and True Son Duo Bao retreated upon seeing that. The starry river domain, which had appeared behind Duo Bao, extended in all directions, and the stars inside erupted with powerful presences.
The sun and moon flew into the sky from the shoulders of taoist young master. They replaced the sun and moon hanging in the sky of the small world and erupted with brilliant pressure.
While retreating, the two saw an astonishing buddhist halo erupt from the center of the demonic energy. The next instant, it dissipated completely. Upon seeing that, the taoist young master and True Son Duo Bao’s faces turned gloomy. The buddhist halo just then was definitely the quasi sage imprint.
If they encountered some danger, the imprint would manifest into the projection of their quasi sage, which had the strength of great principal golden immortal, and kill the enemy. It was the reason why the young masters of different factions didn’t try to kill each other even if they didn’t see eye to eye.
All of them had a projection of a quasi sage on them, so they wouldn’t die even under the attack of an assassin. Instead, their enemies would end up provoking an invincible enemy, which no one wanted.
But the projection of a quasi sage was surprisingly sliced apart by the mysterious powerhouse which had appeared out of nowhere. Who exactly was it? With him possessing such formidable strength, how did he even enter the night pearl small world?
The two men wondered about it, then turned to look in the direction of the forest. Just a moment ago, the three of them had been wondering why there was no movement in the forest even after so long had passed.
Then, the mysterious powerhouse had appeared and attacked them without saying anything, which helped them understand what had to have happened.
Two rainbows rushed in different directions.
The demonic energy returned into Li Yunmu’s hand, and a golden buddha appeared where buddha son had been standing with a startled expression stuck to his face and his lips open slightly. Li Yunmu caught the buddha statue with one hand, then transformed into two black lines that rushed after the two targets which thought to escape.
Five hundred kilometers away from the forest, the refined taoist young master had two yellow page seals under his feet while flying towards the Alliance at his fastest speed. From time to time, he turned back to check whether anyone was chasing him or not.
When there was no silhouette in the air for a time, the taoist young master heaved a sigh of relief. He guessed that the mysterious great principal golden immortal chose to go after True Son Duo Bao, but he still retained his fastest speed.
True Son Duo Bao was only a true immortal, so he wouldn’t be able to run very far from the great principal golden immortal. The mysterious man would only require a breath’s time to subdue him, and if the taoist young master couldn’t reach the Alliance base camp in that time, his ending would be the same as that of the buddha son. He would die without being able to fight back.
“Where do you think you are going?” a voice asked.
Right after, the taoist young master felt as if he had knocked into an iron wall and bounced back a few meters. He noticed Li Yunmu’s charming face behind him then and was extremely shocked.
“You…”
