Chapter 360 - 345: The Qin Siblings and the Heaven-defying Alliance (2)

Chapter 360: Chapter 345: The Qin Siblings and the Heaven-defying Alliance (2)

But things were different for the female envoy.

It all happened in a flash. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Chi had vanished over the horizon, beyond the Canglan City Lord’s sight and range of Divine Thought.

Then, he immediately concealed his Escape Light and vanished on the spot.

In reality, however, he had only slowed his flight speed and used a Top Grade Magic called the Light Splitting Escape Shadow Technique.

This Magic had no offensive power, but it could distort light, making it impossible for anyone to see him, even if they were right there.

He couldn’t be detected by a scan of Divine Thought, either.

However, this wasn’t due to the Light Splitting Escape Shadow Technique, but because he had also layered the Divine Concealment Technique and the Qi Concealment Technique on top of it.

This way, as long as he didn’t attack with his full power, no one would be able to find a trace of him.

Furthermore, he had already placed a Spiritual Mark on the female envoy as a precaution while the two envoys were chasing the Heaven-defying Alliance Cultivator.

Because of this, he quickly drew relatively close to the Divine Palace Female Envoy.

The reason for saying "relatively close" was that the distance between them was still actually a thousand miles.

This distance far exceeded the range of a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Divine Thought. Coupled with the Magic he used to conceal himself, he could retreat unscathed even if he encountered an enemy at the Nascent Soul Peak.

Ahead of him, the female envoy was in hot pursuit. And even farther ahead, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cloaked Cultivator was fleeing for his life.

Due to the vast difference in their Cultivation and the female envoy’s greater overall strength from being a member of the Desert Divine Palace, the distance between them quickly shrank to within a hundred miles.

SWOOSH!

With a cold shout from the female envoy, the Golden Lotus shot toward the Cloaked Cultivator as fast as lightning.

PUFF!

The Cloaked Cultivator was instantly and heavily wounded, spitting blood as he crashed to the ground.

The female envoy was delighted and immediately urged the Golden Lotus onward to deliver the finishing blow.

But just then, the Cloaked Cultivator quickly slapped a Spirit Talisman on himself, and his entire body sank into the ground.

BOOM!

The Golden Lotus slammed into the ground, sending sand flying and leaving a huge crater, but it had missed its target completely.

The female envoy was about to try another move.

At that same moment, however, eight Cloaked Cultivators suddenly shot up from the desert below, surrounding her.

These Cloaked Cultivators were all at the Nascent Soul realm, and shockingly, they possessed Middle Stage Cultivation.

They held small black flags in their hands. With a wave through the air, streams of black light shot out and instantly connected, forming a cubic Array shrouded in black qi.

The space within the Array was instantly sealed. The female envoy felt as if she had sunk into a quagmire, and in a flash, she could no longer fly.

"It seems the intelligence was correct. You and your brother really do have a blood feud with our Heaven-defying Alliance. And you’re so overconfident that you lose all reason the moment you see us."

"But what a pity. Your strength is too meager. Being so brainless will only get you killed faster, to say nothing of getting revenge, haha!"

Just then, another Cloaked Cultivator suddenly materialized high in the sky. He looked down condescendingly at the Divine Palace Female Envoy trapped in the Array and couldn’t help but laugh triumphantly.

At the same time, the Cloaked Cultivator who had been fleeing emerged from another patch of yellow sand. Looking both smug and still a little shaken, he flew up behind the Cloaked Cultivator in the sky.

Zhang Chi swept the area with his Divine Thought and immediately discovered that the Cloaked Cultivator in the sky was a Nascent Soul Late Stage expert.

Of course, even though this cultivator was at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he completely failed to notice Zhang Chi scanning him with Divine Thought.

He wouldn’t have known unless Zhang Chi deliberately wanted him to.

After all, the gap in their Divine Thought was simply too vast.

’So this brother and sister really do have a deep feud with the Heaven-defying Alliance.’

In his hiding place, Zhang Chi had a moment of realization.

"You scum from the Heaven-defying Alliance only know how to use cheap tricks and schemes! What kind of skill is that? If you have any guts, come fight me one-on-one!"

The Divine Palace Female Envoy now realized she was in deep trouble, but it was too late.

But though she was afraid, she didn’t beg or cry. Instead, she gritted her teeth and glared at her enemies. At the same time, she summoned a Golden Umbrella, which emitted a burst of golden light to form a barrier, protecting her within.

She also formed a hand seal for a Technique, trying to recall her Golden Lotus.

KRAK... KRAK...

Unfortunately, under the pressure of the Array, cracks quickly began to appear on the barrier around her.

Worse still, as the Golden Lotus was flying back, the Nascent Soul Late Stage Cloaked Cultivator waved his hand and summoned a large, black net—a Magical Treasure—which ensnared it.

The large net emanated waves of black qi, immediately causing the Spiritual Light of the Golden Lotus to dim as it let out a sorrowful cry.

Then, the Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator retracted the large net, and the Golden Lotus fell into his hands.

"A one-on-one fight? Fine. After I capture you alive and take you back, we’ll take turns fighting you ’one-on-one’ tonight. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!" the Nascent Soul Late Stage Cloaked Cultivator sneered.

"Great idea! Hahaha..."

The other Cloaked Cultivators all roared with laughter.

"You... Shameless! I’d rather die than be taken alive by you! Besides, my brother will be here to save me soon, and then you’ll all die!"

The Divine Palace Female Envoy instantly understood the meaning behind his words. She trembled with both fear and rage.

At the same time, because her Golden Lotus had been defiled by the enemy’s Magical Treasure, she couldn’t stop a trickle of blood from escaping the corner of her mouth.

But she didn’t just wait for death. She immediately took out several Spirit Talismans and slapped them onto her body, then spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, looking as if she was truly about to take them all down with her.

Supported by the Essence Blood, the barrier from her Golden Umbrella Magical Treasure immediately stabilized again.

"Heh, still counting on your brother? He can’t even save himself. If you don’t believe me, take a look!"

The Cloaked Cultivators weren’t the least bit afraid.

The Nascent Soul Late Stage Cloaked Cultivator waved his hand, and a water screen instantly appeared in the sky, displaying a scene from another part of the desert.

On the screen, there was another group of black-cloaked cultivators, and they had already captured a young man in silver armor, tying him up securely.

This young cultivator was Qin Yushan, but at this moment, his hair was a mess and he cut a rather wretched figure.

Even his Fangtian Halberd had been confiscated and was now held in the hands of a Cloaked Cultivator.

"Impossible! My brother is invincibly brave! There’s no way you could have captured him! You’re using an Illusion Technique to trick me!" the Divine Palace Female Envoy cried out in shock.

"Heh, don’t believe it then. In any case, if you want to take us down with you, go right ahead. With the Array in place, the most you can do is heavily injure us. But if you want your brother to live, then you’d better surrender obediently."

"If you do, you’ll at least both stay alive. Who knows, you might even be able to wait for the Desert Divine Palace to come rescue you!"

The Nascent Soul Late Stage Cloaked Cultivator retorted with a sneer.

Hearing this, the Divine Palace Female Envoy fell silent. Even her resolve to die wavered.

The Cloaked Cultivators weren’t in a hurry; they all waited for the Divine Palace Female Envoy to make her decision.

"Don’t even think about using my brother to threaten me. We’ll set aside the fact that he wouldn’t be captured alive. Even if he were, he would never let me be implicated, nor would he implicate the Desert Divine Palace."

"Besides, for all I know, you’re doing the same thing to my brother—using an Illusion Technique to deceive him. If I really surrender, then he’ll be the one who’s truly threatened!"

"So, I will never let you succeed! After I’m dead, my brother and the Desert Divine Palace will avenge me!"

Very quickly, the Divine Palace Female Envoy’s resolve hardened once more. An aura of destruction began to emanate from her body.

PUFF!

But the Cloaked Cultivators still didn’t retreat. Instead, in the next instant, a sweet taste rose in the Divine Palace Female Envoy’s throat and she suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, her entire body wilting.

Then, she fell directly to the ground. The Spiritual Power in her body was in chaos, so much so that she couldn’t even perform Nascent Soul Emergence.

The light from her Golden Umbrella dimmed, and it fell to the ground beside her.

The cubic Grand Array immediately enveloped her completely, and streams of black light shot into her, quickly binding her.

"Despicable... You plotted against me?"

The Divine Palace Female Envoy was filled with despair and indignation. She couldn’t even take her enemies down with her, nor did she have the chance to kill herself to avoid humiliation.

At the same time, she immediately understood that she had most likely been hit with some rare poison potent enough to affect even a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"Haha, what did you think? Why else would I waste so much time talking to you?"

The Cloaked Cultivators roared with laughter. The Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator immediately raised his hand and effortlessly slapped a Sealing Spirit Talisman onto the Divine Palace Female Envoy, completely sealing her Cultivation and ability to move.

"Everyone knows that the Female Cultivators of the Desert Divine Palace are the finest treasures in the mortal world. This is the first time I’ve captured one with Nascent Soul Cultivation alive. So, you’d better not disappoint me!"

With that, the Nascent Soul Late Stage Cloaked Cultivator was finally at ease. He took a step forward, appearing right in front of the Divine Palace Female Envoy, and reached for her with a lecherous grin.
