Chapter 686: Chapter 683: The Person Behind the Scenes
"This..."
The three Tier One Corpse Saints’ expressions changed drastically.
They never imagined that Jiang Jichen, who was also only in the Saint First Realm, could possess such a heaven-shattering technique.
However, Jiang Jichen didn’t give them any time to think.
An invisible force flung them into the void!
SPLAT!
Then, their physical bodies exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
With a mere flip of Jiang Jichen’s hand, the three Tier One Corpse Saints were reduced to nothing.
The three rescued female disciples of the Red Beauty Sect now revered their Sect Leader as if he were a Celestial God.
After taking care of everything, Jiang Jichen followed Tang Ni through the sect’s gate.
"We’ve been cultivating here ever since we left the Beiyue Illusion Realm!"
Tang Ni said.
"Yes. This place is no longer safe. More living corpses will be here soon."
"Pack your things. I’ll get you out of here!"
Jiang Jichen said.
The Red Beauty Sect didn’t have much to pack. The hundred or so members all entered Jiang Jichen’s Poison-Devouring Pearl Space.
At that moment, Jiang Jichen suddenly thought of Qingya’s Flower Rain Sect, which was also composed entirely of women.
Well, Jiang Jichen had to admit that ever since his Demon Phoenix Technique entered its third cycle, his luck with the ladies had been on the rise.
He had only just returned, and he had already taken in two Women’s Sects!
He couldn’t even imagine what the future would hold!
He couldn’t stop practicing the Demon Phoenix Technique. With its principles of surviving nine deaths and being reborn from the ashes, it always gave Jiang Jichen a chance to turn the tables, no matter the situation.
Now, only Jiang Jichen and Tang Ni remained.
"What about Xiaoling and Youmeng?"
Tang Ni asked.
She had fought side-by-side with Xiaoling and Youmeng before; they were like sisters.
She asked with concern.
"They... are in the Nine Heavens. They should be fine for now, but it’s hard to say what will happen later. That’s why I have to get to the Ninth Heaven as quickly as possible!"
Jiang Jichen had nothing to hide from Tang Ni, so he spoke frankly.
"Little brother Jichen, you... isn’t this all exhausting? If you ever get tired, your big sister’s arms will always be open for you!"
After saying her piece, Tang Ni proactively jumped into the Poison Devouring Pearl Fragment Space.
Leaving Jiang Jichen standing there, completely stunned.
He couldn’t help but gulp, muttering to himself, "Big sister Tang Ni... she actually offered her embrace so freely. In that case..."
’Hmm, should I have a heart-to-heart with Big Sister Tang Ni tonight and talk about life? I have been pretty tired lately. I need an embrace to warm me up, and hers is definitely the top choice!’
Jiang Jichen’s imagination ran wild.
At the same time, he didn’t stop moving. He continued forward, turning invisible as he gracefully floated toward Yunshui City.
He crossed a hundred li in no time.
From a distance, Jiang Jichen could see the Endless Void Battlefield above Yunshui City. Secret Lights intertwined, dead stars were shattered, and the Power of Destruction surged between heaven and earth.
The Celestial Corpse Ancestor was single-handedly fighting five Supreme Realm experts, led by the Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Sword Alliance.
The Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Sword Alliance hadn’t taken part in the last battle, but with the very survival of Yunshui City at stake, he had no choice but to act.
Tian Feng, the Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Sword Alliance, was definitely one of the most prominent Supreme Realm powerhouses in the Southern Continent, his combat prowess far surpassing that of Ancestor Xuanqing.
Right now, he was the main one holding back the Celestial Corpse Ancestor’s attacks.
Otherwise, the front lines at Yunshui City would have collapsed long ago.
In the Endless Void Battlefield, the battle was world-shaking.
But down in Yunshui City, an equally brutal battle was unfolding.
The Celestial Corpse Sect attacked, while the Seven Great Families and Three Major Sects of Yunshui City joined forces to defend it.
The fighting grew more and more intense. People fell one after another, their bones piling into mountains and their blood flowing like rivers, staining everything inside and outside Yunshui City red.
Jiang Jichen hid in the shadows, watching with a cold and detached expression.
Just then, his gaze landed upon the figures of Qing Xun, Blood Hand, and Su Xuefei.
They had all reached Sainthood and were at the Saint Second Realm of cultivation. Their combat prowess was extraordinary, and living corpses fell to them one after another.
They were all geniuses of their clans, protected by Great Saints, so they weren’t in any real danger.
Jiang Jichen could see that Yunshui City was clearly no match for the Celestial Corpse Sect’s army.
This was all because the living-corpse cultivators of the Celestial Corpse Sect could use the bodies of the dead, refining them into Corpse Puppets to serve as shields and join the attack.
However, the key to victory or defeat lay in the great battle taking place in the Endless Void Battlefield.
If the Celestial Corpse Ancestor was defeated, the Celestial Corpse Sect would be defeated. It wouldn’t matter even if they had an overwhelming advantage in the siege.
Once a Supreme Realm existence was freed up, the entire situation would be rewritten.
Jiang Jichen stepped into the void, coldly observing the fight between the Celestial Corpse Ancestor and the five Supreme Realm experts, including the Heavenly Sword Alliance’s leader.
But Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought was searching the Void.
He pushed his Holy Dao Realm’s Seven-Colored Divine Thought to its limit, spreading it through the Endless Void.
Finally, Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought suddenly locked onto a patch of the Void.
’The Human-Devouring Organization under the Longevity Sect... I knew it was them!’
Dimly, within his Seven-Colored Divine Thought, Jiang Jichen could sense a figure there.
It was completely fused with the Void.
If not for his Seven-Colored Divine Thought, he would never have been able to detect that person’s existence.
From that mysterious person, Jiang Jichen could feel a familiar aura.
It was the aura of someone who cultivated the Longevity Sect’s Creation Celestial Technique.
Legend had it that even the Creation Scripture, one of the three great handed-down Ancient Scriptures, originated from the Longevity Sect’s Creation Celestial Technique.
However, the version of the Creation Celestial Technique that ordinary disciples could cultivate was, naturally, a simplified one.
But the power it could unleash was still astonishing and simply unimaginable.
That mysterious person from the Human-Devouring Organization, hidden in the Void, also possessed a Supreme Realm cultivation.
But he had no idea that Jiang Jichen had already discovered him.
This was a young man, the corners of his mouth turned up in a cold smile.
’The people of the Mortal World are all just ants. So what if they’re the Celestial Corpse Ancestor or a bunch of Supremes? In the end, they’re just puppets dancing in the palm of my hand!’
The young man from the Human-Devouring Organization muttered to himself mockingly.
His gaze was like that of a Divine Spirit looking down on all living things as he watched the battles in the Endless Void Battlefield and Yunshui City.
However, at that very moment, his expression changed drastically, and he tried to dodge.
But a hand, faster than he was, pierced directly through the Void and struck him on the back.
Instantly, cracks appeared on his back, and he spat out several mouthfuls of essence blood, his face turning pale as paper in an instant.
"This... I was ambushed!"
The young man from the Human-Devouring Organization was in disbelief.
’That attack just now was from an Extreme Dao Supreme Realm expert. They had located me in the Void and attacked by piercing through space.’
’But how did they discover my existence and pinpoint my location?’
But he was given no time to think. The figures of Elder Yao, Asura Ancestor, and Youu appeared simultaneously, forming a triangle and trapping him in the center.
From a distance, Jiang Jichen floated over and said coldly, "I knew it. You pieces of trash from the Longevity Sect, clinging like persistent ghosts, instigating this war from the shadows."
