Chapter 1228: Kou Chongxue’s Return

“I’m going to head over personally.” Shang Xia laughed.

Yun Jing interjected immediately after hearing what he was planning to do. “Are you going alone?! If we can’t determine who is hunting him down, if...”

Shang Xia explained soon after, “If the expert hunting Patriarch Kou down is extremely powerful, he would have been killed a long time ago. Since he was able to hold on for so long, that would mean that even though his opponent is stronger than him, he isn’t fully suppressed. That is how Patriarch Kou got the chance to run.”

Even so, Yun Jing was still concerned. “If the other side is also plotting against us and waiting for someone to head over to rescue him, what do we do then? Why don’t we ask the other True Immortals for help...”

Shang Xia chuckled in a hoarse voice, “You are being blinded by this. With Patriarch Kou’s smarts, how will he not know that he’s walking into a trap? Also...”

Pausing slightly, Shang Xia’s tone changed, “I won’t bring Patriarch Kou back directly anyway. I will be looking for his traces in the sea of stars to look at what is happening. If there is any danger, I won’t drag our Spirit Luxuriant World into it.”

After he was done speaking, he bid them farewell and turned to leave.

His return was also a secret and other than Huang Jinghan and those he had met in the institution, even the other higher-ups of the institution didn’t know where he was.

If he revealed himself, he would definitely raise massive waves in the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Whatever it was, there was no point in calling the other True Immortals for help. With Yang Taihe and Zhang Xuansheng unable to leave the Spirit Luxuriant World, and others like Lu Wuzi and Yin Jingxu being completely useless, Shang Xia found no need to tell them. If they were to try to assist, they wouldn’t be of any help and he would still owe them a favor.

Leaving behind a clone to guard the Star Observatory in the Tongyou Elysium and to act as a bridge of communication, he prepared to lock on to an approximate location of where Kou Chongxue could be.

The reason why the Star Observatory might be able to lock on to him but his clone wasn’t might be related to some sort of spatial barriers or obstacles. However, Shang Xia didn’t care too much about those.

Grabbing Kou Chongxue’s clone, Shang Xia decided to head over. He knew that even if his clone couldn’t sense his true body, Kou Chongxue would definitely be able to sense that his clone was getting closer. He would also understand that someone was there to help and when the time came, they could only see how well they worked together.

After Shang Xia left the heavenly screen, he concealed himself and the clone before traveling hundreds of thousands of miles before creating spatial tunnels in the void to rush to the location pointed out by the Star Observatory.

Shuttling through space, Shang Xia eventually arrived 3,000,000 miles away from the Spirit Luxuriant World.

The void wasn’t stable at all as chaotic streams swept about. The further they went, the stronger those chaotic streams would be and things would become more dangerous.

The only reason he was able to get so far was because he was a high-level True Immortal. If anyone else were to try, they would be forced to retreat before they got within 1,000,000 miles.

From what the Spirit Luxuriant World had explored so far, the moment a Star Ship left 1,000,000 miles of their world, they would usually run into powerful chaotic streams.

If there was no guide, even if they were True Immortals, they would lose themselves in the void and might even meet their demise.

Looking from afar, a world seemed to be the yolk of an egg that was wrapped in streams of chaotic space that happened a million or so miles away.

“How are you? Can you still hold on?” Shang Xia asked Kou Chongxue’s clone.

From the time they left the Spirit Luxuriant World, Shang Xia might have been traveling with Kou Chongxue’s clone, but he didn’t provide any help.

Even though Kou Chongxue’s clone was still moving along with Shang Xia, his aura was becoming unsteady and his inner qi starting to leak.

Despite its current state, Kou Chongxue’s clone didn’t ask Shang Xia for help. He was clear that if they ran into any enemies, Shang Xia needed to be able to use the full extent of his abilities.

“I can.” Kou Chongxue’s clone replied, “Even though I am affected by the chaotic streams of space, the connection between my true body and myself is strengthened. If he isn’t running about in a panic, he should have discovered that I am close.”

Shang Xia nodded once before asking, “Are you able to determine where he is?”

Unfortunately, Kou Chongxue’s clone shook his head and sighed, “It’s too chaotic here and we can only tell an approximate location. We can’t be sure...”

“If we have a Grand Stargazer, things would be so much easier...” Shang Xia mumbled to himself.

After he spoke, he sent a trace of Six Direction Qi into Kou Chongxue’s clone to help stop the leaking of inner qi.

Traveling hundreds of thousands of miles deeper into the chaotic streams of space, Kou Chongxue’s clone yelled suddenly, “Wait, stop! Stop!”

Shang Xia also discovered that something was wrong and he slammed his Stone Rod into the void beneath his feet as soon as he stopped.

Buzz...

The chaotic streams stabilized instantly.

Behind Shang Xia, Kou Chongxue’s clone seemed to be trying to form some sort of connection.

After stabilizing the space around them, Shang Xia was able to more accurately discern what was around them. He felt trace fluctuations coming from a certain direction, and all of the fluctuations seemed to be strangely in order.

What is this place?!

How could there be orderly spatial fluctuations in the streams of chaotic space?

Whatever it was, Shang Xia could clearly feel their presence.

It became clear those spatial fluctuations were created by someone and with the exception of Kou Chongxue who could feel the presence of his clone, Shang Xia couldn’t think of anything else.

No longer stopping the flow of chaotic space around him, Shang Xia quickly released his domain and wrapped Kou Chongxue’s clone up in it before concealing his aura to rush in the direction of the source of spatial fluctuations.

Once again, they traveled close to 1,000,000 miles. Along their way, the spatial fluctuations disappeared, but the connection between Kou Chongxue’s clone and his true body grew stronger.

Without stopping, Shang Xia moved while being guided by Kou Chongxue’s clone.

When they traveled another 100,000 miles, a massive blast seemed to come from the distance. Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue’s clone seemed to be wrapped up in the blast.

Tossing out the Five Element Ring, Shang Xia stabilized the space beneath his feet and a small region around himself. At the same time, he placed the Five Element Confinement Formation Flag in the distance before disappearing from where he stood.

“Are we not helping my true body?” Kou Chongxue’s clone asked after being brought away. There was a look of concern in his eyes.

Shang Xia looked into the depths of the streams of chaotic space and replied without turning back, “Since Patriarch Kou is able to feel your presence, he should know that I am also here. We were traveling towards him earlier, but we stopped suddenly and stopped moving. He should be able to guess that we laid down a trap here and he should be drawing his opponent over shortly...”

“Is this how well you 2 work together normally?” Kou Chongxue’s clone mumbled.

Chuckling, Shang Xia didn’t respond. Instead, he tossed several high-grade essence crystals to activate the formation.

As the spatial disturbance got stronger and stronger, Shang Xia could tell that Kou Chongxue and his opponent were getting closer.

The next second, the streams of chaotic space seemed to be torn open as a figure tumbled out and released 3 powerful golden rays of sword qi before running away.

“You’re not getting away!” A voice came from the depths of space but it was distorted and seemed a little strange.

As soon as he spoke, a powerful white ball of light that looked really familiar easily got rid of the sword qi.

At the same time, 3 figures emerged from the void and raced to surround the fleeing figure.

It was a shame 1 of them stepped into the Five Element Containment Formation Shang Xia had laid down with the help of the formation flag.

It activated instantly, and with Shang Xia’s powerful Six Direction Qi and the abilities of the Five Element Ring, rings of five colored light emerged and trapped the cultivator.

With his eyes widening slightly, Shang Xia didn’t hesitate and swung his Stone Rod down at the trapped figure.
