Chapter 2276: Chapter 2276: Chaos!

"Master, this subordinate has already locked onto the direction that man fled in."

"It’s this way."

Jiucheng pointed toward the direction Zhou Yu and the other two had left, and spoke.

From within the black mass of Qi, an angry shout came.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Jiucheng hesitated for a moment, then said:

"But that man’s speed is extremely fast. He’s already very far from us now. This subordinate can only sense a rough direction."

"Having a rough direction is enough."

"We move out immediately."

The aged voice within the black mass of Qi gave the order.

However, Jiucheng still didn’t move. Instead, she showed a troubled expression and glanced at Wu Long beside her.

Wu Long took a deep breath and spoke:

"Master, are we really going to pursue him?"

"The Demon Ancestor has been planning for ten thousand years just to trigger this demonic eruption. He intends to use this eruption to fully descend."

"If we go to hunt that man down and accidentally delay the Demon Ancestor’s grand affair, I’m afraid the consequences will be very serious."

"At that time, others might not say anything, but Tie Kuang will definitely report us to the Demon Ancestor."

Hearing this, the aged voice within the black mass of Qi also turned gloomy.

"Tie Kuang!!!"

Clearly, he was very fearful of this Tie Kuang.

Or rather, more precisely, he was deeply fearful regarding the Demon Ancestor’s descent.

After a brief silence, the aged voice in the black mass of Qi spoke:

"What you say makes sense as well."

"The Demon Ancestor’s matter cannot be delayed."

"Here’s what we’ll do, Jiucheng: you excel at tracking and concealment, so you will be the one to go and seek out the person who killed my son."

"Once you find him, you only need to tail him."

"After the Demon Ancestor descends smoothly and this old man has his hands free, I’ll immediately come find you."

Hearing this, Jiucheng still wanted to say something.

"Master, I..."

"Enough. There is no room for discussion on this matter."

"If you fail to find that man, don’t blame this old man for being ruthless and cruel."

"Yes, Master." Jiucheng’s expression changed several times, but in the end she could only agree.

After that, the black mass of Qi swept toward the distance, with Wu Long closely following behind.

Once the two left, Jiucheng stood where she was, her expression shifting between dark and bright.

However, after a long while, she still steeled herself and flew off in pursuit toward the direction Zhou Yu and the other two had gone.

In the blink of an eye, her figure vanished into the horizon.

...

Somewhere on the outskirts of Black Gold Canyon.

At this moment, two figures were flying cautiously.

Of these two, one was at the Divinity Transformation Realm, and the other at the Void Refinement Realm.

Both of them held a Magic Disc in their hands, seemingly traveling while searching for something.

At this time.

The younger man, whose cultivation was at the Divinity Transformation Realm, couldn’t help but speak.

"Uncle, weren’t you saying that as long as we had this Golden Light Magic Disc, we’d be able to sense the Golden Light Restriction inside the Immortal Body?"

"We’ve already been in Golden Light Canyon for a full five days now."

"But up to now, we haven’t discovered anything at all."

"This thing hasn’t reacted in the slightest."

"Could it be that we were tricked?"

Hearing this, the Void Refinement Realm middle-aged man said in a deep voice:

"The sensing range of the Golden Light Magic Disc is less than ten kilometers to begin with."

"Besides, in Black Gold Canyon, Demonic Qi is everywhere. Even Divine Sense and Primordial Spirit are heavily suppressed, so the sensing range of the Golden Light Magic Disc is likely even smaller."

"It’s perfectly normal not to sense anything."

"If it were so easy to find, how would it ever be our turn, uncle and nephew, to come?"

"You need to be patient."

The young man sighed and said:

"But right now we don’t even know whether the direction we’re going is correct."

"What if we’re going the wrong way?"

"Wouldn’t that be a complete waste of time?"

However, the middle-aged man just shook his head and said:

"On that point, you don’t need to worry."

"Before we came in, I already asked an elder of our clan to use Divination Skill."

"The rough location of the Cannibal Immortal is in this direction."

"On this alone, we’re already far ahead of the others, so there’s no need to rush."

"As long as we maintain our patience, that Cannibal Immortal will definitely fall into our hands."

Hearing this, the young man let out a sigh.

"Alright then."

"I’ll listen to you, Uncle."

At this moment, the two happened to be passing through a small canyon area.

This type of terrain was very common in this vicinity.

Thus, after checking with the Golden Light Magic Disc and finding nothing, they planned to leave quickly.

Yet right at that instant, from within the black fog surging in the canyon, a terrifying Sword Light suddenly ripped through the air.

This strike came with extreme oddity and suddenness.

The Void Refinement Realm middle-aged man was stunned for an instant, then his expression changed drastically.

He immediately swung out his large hand, and a shield appeared in front of him.

The moment this shield appeared, it radiated a golden sheen and formed a visible golden barrier that protected the two of them.

But in the instant that golden barrier took shape—

That Sword Light hacked viciously down onto the shield.

Puff!

A muffled sound rang out.

The shield was actually cleaved apart in an instant, like slicing through tofu.

The golden barrier shattered outright.

The Void Refinement Realm middle-aged man’s eyes were filled with endless terror.

He didn’t even have time to react before the Sword Light pierced straight through his body.

His fleshly body was annihilated in an instant.

Only then did the youth finally react.

His face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Uncle!"

The youth let out a terrified scream, then turned to flee.

However, the youth had barely flown a kilometer when a gigantic phantom of a rat’s head appeared in the canyon beneath his feet.

The rat-head phantom opened its maw wide toward the youth in the sky.

In the next moment, a ray of gray light shot out from its mouth.

In an instant, the youth was struck directly by the gray light, then swallowed by the rat-head phantom.

After these two fell, within a short span of time, several figures emerged from the surging black mist in the canyon.

At their head was a man clad in thick armor, with a pair of huge black wings on his back.

Looking closely, densely packed Runes were etched upon those black wings, giving them a particularly eerie appearance.

Behind him were three others, whose looks were similar to his, but their bodies were only half his size.

At this moment, one of those three spoke respectfully to the towering man:

"Lord Tie Kuang."

"These two just now were rather strange."

"They seemed to be searching for something."

The man addressed as Tie Kuang said coldly:

"Once this king refines this one’s Primordial Spirit, I’ll naturally know."

With that, he slowly closed his eyes.

About ten seconds later, Tie Kuang suddenly opened his eyes.

An excited gleam flashed within his gaze.

"I didn’t expect there to be a Cannibal Immortal here."

"And it’s a wounded Cannibal Immortal at that."

Hearing this, the three subordinates were taken aback.

"Lord Tie Kuang, is this so-called Cannibal Immortal of use to our Ancient Demon Clan?"
