CHAPTER 837: CHAPTER 465: DISCOVERY

"No, something’s wrong. Some secret of mine has been discovered. That feeling just now was really off!" Li Shiming’s heart tensed, and he and his life-bound magical treasure IBMz15 reached the same analytical judgment.

The most detrimental secret to him at the moment is the Cave Heaven Inheritance.

At the same time, the drone satellite system discovered that the two Nascent Soul Ancestors from Mountain Sea Island had left the island and were heading inland at great speed.

Because Ancestor Luo Wei and Ancestor Han Xiao’s actions were too sudden, not to mention the six Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Beishu Continent, even Elder Jin Kai from the nearby Yongle Island did not expect them to act this way.

So when the Nascent Soul Ancestors from Beishu Continent and Skywalk Trading Company reacted, Ancestor Luo Wei and Ancestor Han Xiao had already broken through the array’s blockade and flew inland at great speed.

After entering the inland, Ancestor Luo Wei waved his hand, and his and Ancestor Han Xiao’s figures split into dozens, each flying in different directions.

The split figures carried their auras, making it impossible for either the Investigation Array or the following Nascent Soul Ancestors to determine the exact direction of Ancestor Luo Wei and Ancestor Han Xiao.

This was Ancestor Luo Wei’s direct method. Having lost two hundred years of lifespan, he didn’t want to delay for even a moment.

With his mid-stage Nascent Soul combat power, he could completely rush into the Shushan Sect and forcibly take Li Shiming away.

As for what happens later, once it’s in his hands, how would he care about offending Skywalk Trading Company and the Beishu Continent?

He would take Li Shiming into the ocean. At most, Elder Jin Kai could follow them, but with the advantage of distance, he wasn’t worried at all that Elder Jin Kai could catch up with him.

"Anyone who dares to stop me, I’ll kill!" His face, full of wrinkles, showed a resolute determination.

To find Li Shiming, the inheritor of the Cave Heaven, he had paid so much.

When Li Shiming saw Ancestor Luo Wei rush inland, he realized that it was Ancestor Luo Wei probing him earlier.

He didn’t know what method Ancestor Luo Wei used, but such a method that mobilized the power of Heaven and Earth Rules used on a mere Golden Core cultivator like him was definitely for a very significant matter.

He understood that the matter of the Cave Heaven might have been detected by Ancestor Luo Wei, though he couldn’t figure out where he exposed himself.

If he knew it wasn’t an exposure but because his cultivation speed was too fast—already at the late-stage Golden Core at his age—and Ancestor Luo Wei found him through the process of elimination, he would regret not hiding his cultivation better.

Li Shiming glanced at his cave dwelling, used his Divine Thought to collect the important Spiritual Objects inside, and also gathered up the mechanical equipment from the underground space.

He was very clear that after the Cave Heaven matter leaked, he couldn’t stay in the Shushan Sect anymore.

The Shushan Sect couldn’t protect him, or rather, the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Shushan Sect would not protect him, not even Fan Ancestor would dare to believe.

That was the Cave Heaven Inheritance; once obtained, it might offer the benefit of ascending to heaven in one step, which every cultivator would covet.

Fan Ancestor was only his grandmaster and not directly connected to him.

Li Shiming left his Identity Jade Disc in the cave dwelling and switched to using the Identity Jade Disc of the Silver Corpse.

The Silver Corpse’s Identity Jade Disc was handled by the sect specifically for the Silver Corpse’s dealings and entrance and exit through the sect’s gates.

His current identity and status were extremely sensitive; if the sect’s array discovered his Identity Jade Disc trying to leave the mountain gate, it would immediately notify the Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Li Shiming wiped his face, completing a simple disguise, transforming into the appearance of the Silver Corpse, and even his robes changed into those of the Silver Corpse.

He flew out from Sword Holding Peak; due to the frequent comings and goings of the Silver Corpse, no cultivators noticed any peculiarity with the Silver Corpse.

He safely left the mountain gate, and after exiting the sect formation, he immediately used ’Step by Step Lotus’ to travel.

His destination was a coast thousands of miles away between Yongle Island and Mountain Sea Island where he planned to stay for some time, observing the situation’s development.

He would formulate his next plan based on the development of the situation.

When Ancestor Luo Wei and Ancestor Han Xiao appeared outside the Shushan Sect’s mountain gate, the sect formation triggered an alarm, fully activating to resist the invading enemies.

"Open!" Ancestor Luo Wei slapped forward, and a Dharma Manifestation hand appeared, striking the Shushan Sect’s formation.

The formation’s shield could not withstand this strike; its power far exceeded the formation’s defensive limits.

The shield shattered into fragments, and even many formation nodes exploded under the aftershock of this strike.

With one hit, the Shushan Sect’s Sect Protection Array was broken, and Ancestor Luo Wei along with Ancestor Han Xiao stormed into the mountain gate.

The internal terrain of the Shushan Sect had already been mapped out by the Heavenly Inquiry Sect’s intelligence. They charged towards Sword Peak.

Along the way, some formations on other peaks were activated, but they couldn’t even hold them for a single moment.

"Senior, you are setting yourself against all Nascent Soul cultivators of the Beishu Continent!" Fan Ancestor discovered Ancestor Luo Wei and Ancestor Han Xiao when the alarm was raised by the formation, and as he flew out of his cave dwelling, Ancestor Luo Wei had already entered the mountain gate.

"I’m here to take one person; you’d better not interfere, or else I won’t hesitate to completely destroy this mountain gate!" Ancestor Luo Wei said coldly.

He hadn’t acted murderously yet because neither the sect formation of the Shushan Sect nor the appearance of Fan Ancestor posed any threat to him.

However, if Fan Ancestor really tried to stop him, it would mean buying time for Elder Jin Kai, and he would immediately strike.
