Xiang Beifei stood in the corner of the ruined walls of Rushou City and glanced back at the endless black mist, then said: "From the altar over there to here, you didn’t even need my flames to know how to avoid triggering Dayan Jinshou’s attack, and — you took a different path than we did coming in!"
"I told you, I divined a new path!" the Diviner emphasized.
Xiang Beifei remained unconvinced, glaring at the Diviner, saying: "Whether it’s a new path or not, I’m very clear about that."
The Diviner stroked his two long white eyebrows, straightening them out again.
"If we don’t hurry, the people from the Dao Palace will arrive soon," the Diviner reminded.
"I never mentioned anything about the Dao Palace to you, so how do you know they’re coming here?" Xiang Beifei said in a deep voice.
Just now, the Diviner was under the altar, and logically speaking, he shouldn’t know what happened up there.
But he quickly said: "I know a lot of things and can divine many things as well. The person just now was Wu Kaimo, I recognize him! He’s one of the thirty-six protectors of the Dao Palace! His presence here means that this place isn’t as impenetrable by the Dao Palace as rumored!"
"I don’t know if you understand Wu Kaimo, but he’s not a simple expert. The person you just killed was merely an incarnation of Wu Kaimo’s consciousness. If he’s trying to capture you, how could he not inform the others in the Dao Palace?" the Diviner explained.
Xiang Beifei looked at the Diviner coldly, saying: "You seem to know everything very well."
"If I didn’t, how dare I come in here?" the Diviner seemed to want to argue.
But Xiang Beifei would not believe this old man anymore, saying: "Just now, when I escaped from the altar, I didn’t take the path you and Demon Qiquan did, but another direction, meaning that Dayan Jinshou wasn’t triggered where you were. I’m sure of it. I think Demon Qiquan wasn’t killed by Dayan Jinshou but by you, right?"
The Diviner didn’t answer immediately this time but instead looked pensively at Xiang Beifei.
After a while, he asked: "It seems you’ve deduced the pattern of Dayan Jinshou?"
Xiang Beifei had indeed deduced the pattern of this formation. He had been learning the formation through "Learn by Analogy," and when he deduced it at the altar, he knew exactly how to face each area’s attack.
"You’re more familiar with this place than I am, and to know Dayan Jinshou so well, you must be from the Dao Palace!" Xiang Beifei said coldly.
To break the Dayan Jinshou left by the previous Rushou leader, the Dao Palace had been collecting sacrificial souls for a hundred thousand years, with Wu Kaimo overseeing the situation here. They knew all the attacks of Dayan Jinshou and the safe routes through the formation!
Wu Kaimo had already proven this point with actual events!
The Diviner suddenly laughed, his smile remaining kind and amiable, even winking playfully at Xiang Beifei like a mischievous old child.
Anyone who saw his smile would only see him as a harmless little old man.
The Diviner looked amiably at Xiang Beifei, saying: "Your observational skills are indeed sharp."
Xiang Beifei clenched his fists and stared at the Diviner. Orıginal content can be found at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽
He had joined Ye Qiniang’s group by accident, and his teaming up with the Diviner was temporary. Upon joining the group, he discovered that Ye Qiniang recruited only Inquiry Dao Realm experts, with only him and the Diviner being in the late stage of Immortality!
Initially, he thought that the Diviner was the one with the fewest secrets, but Xiang Beifei now realized that the Diviner’s identity was far beyond what he had imagined!
The Diviner glanced outside Rushou City, as if he had discovered something, and said with a smile: "It seems they’ve already arrived."
Then he turned his gaze back, smiling amiably at Xiang Beifei, and seemed even less anxious.
"You are indeed much like what I imagined, clever and steady, not panicking in crisis, highly vigilant, and knowing how to use the right time and place to win against the odds. It seems everything is within your understanding. So what do you think I’ll do next?" the Diviner asked with a smile.
Xiang Beifei said nothing, also looking outside the ruined Rushou City.
He knew that experts were coming from outside, very powerful ones, most likely reinforcements from the Dao Palace!
He immediately leaped towards another part of the Dayan Jinshou, entering a danger zone. He couldn’t leave Dayan Jinshou because, in his current state, leaving the ruined Rushou City meant losing the only advantage!
Dayan Jinshou contained attacks from the Ancestral Dao Realm, which was his only chance to contend with the Dao Palace experts!
Just after he landed, a powerful wave stirred from outside Rushou City, and seven figures directly passed through Dayan Jinshou outside Rushou City without triggering any attacks and had already entered Rushou City!
These seven figures landed in a safe zone within Rushou City, emanating a mighty pressure, their strength incredibly terrifying.
Xiang Beifei glanced at the Dao embryos of these seven people from afar, his heart sinking!
He could see the Dao embryo information of these seven and understand their strength.
Among these seven, three were in the later stage of Inquiry Dao, two in the early stage of Ascending Dao, one in the middle stage of Ascending Dao, and one figure — surprisingly, Wu Kaimo himself!
[Dao Executor: Wu Kaimo]
[Dao Embryo: Houtu Dao]
[Realm: Late Ascending Dao Stage]
Late Ascending Dao Stage!
The consciousness avatar left by Wu Kaimo at the altar just now only had the strength of the early Ascending Dao stage, but Wu Kaimo himself was actually in the late Ascending Dao stage!
The Wu Kaimo before him was far stronger than before!
At this moment, Wu Kaimo stood on a broken iron pillar, waved his hand towards Dayan Jinshou, and soon a brownish stream of light rose from a corner of the formation, leaping into his hand.
He grasped this stream of light fiercely, then scanned the surroundings, saying: "That human is still inside Dayan Jinshou, Weihuo Tiger is burning its divine soul to protect him, his abilities are somewhat strange, capable of controlling the four Heavenly Dao of Metal, Water, Earth, and Fire. He’s probably preparing to use Dayan Jinshou against us, being able to control Ruishui River, it’s highly likely that he’s waiting for us at the attack left by a Xuanming Tribe’s Ancestral Dao Realm expert, you all need to be careful!"
Obviously, before Wu Kaimo’s consciousness avatar was killed by Xiang Beifei, he left the information behind for the main body.
The six Dao Palace experts behind him immediately responded.
Wu Kaimo sneered, his voice suddenly becoming extremely loud, rolling out like thunder: "Remnants of the Human Race, I know what you’re up to, but if you still want to rely on Dayan Jinshou to deal with me, then you’re too naive! You only have the strength of the Inquiry Dao Realm, I presume forcefully controlling Ruishui River exhausted much of your energy, you can’t perfectly control Ruishui River anymore, I advise you to surrender!"
At this point, he no longer needed to hide anything. Even if there were people of other races in Dayan Jinshou, it didn’t matter, today no one would leave here alive!
He waved his hand again, countless brownish streams of light traversed out, these auras infiltrating every corner of Rushou City, and then—
The entire Rushou City trembled, a storm stirred, sword lights and shadows flickered, demon clouds rolled, terrifying auras intertwined within, Rushou City seemed to be plunged into a doomsday, bombarded by various terrifying powers!
Wu Kaimo knew Xiang Beifei was preparing to use Dayan Jinshou against them, so he struck first, triggering all attacks that had been replicated ten thousand years ago, disrupting the entire Dayan Jinshou.
As long as Dayan Jinshou was triggered, it would attack specific areas, so it would be impossible for Xiang Beifei to lure them into Dayan Jinshou to kill them!
If Xiang Beifei was waiting there, he would also have to guard against these attacks!
Most importantly, as a protector of the Dao Palace who had lived for tens of thousands of years, Wu Kaimo, even after losing a consciousness avatar, easily guessed that Xiang Beifei was already at his limit!
Because the attack of the Ancestral Dao Realm is not so easy to control!
