CHAPTER 1223: CHAPTER 801: LEAVING COMMON VALLEY

Luo Shanyou remained silent, but he took a deep breath, his expression becoming very solemn.

"This is not something you need to worry about. If there’s a chance, I’ll kill him myself!"

His tone was surprisingly calm, seemingly devoid of any emotion.

He was his son, a long-lost relative, yet they met in such a manner, standing on opposite sides, aiding the enemy against the Human Race.

But he understood well that nothing was more important than the entire Human Race, not even his son.

In his heart, the survival of the Human Race outweighed everything. He could sacrifice himself for the Human Race, and naturally, he could also sacrifice personal ties for the greater good!

Hai Fuyu looked at Luo Shanyou with a peculiar gaze but said nothing more.

"We should leave." Xiang Beifei said.

There was no opportunity left now; the people of the Dao Palace had already discovered they were hunting elders, and they would surely increase their vigilance next, with Wu Zhejiu in the late Ancestral Dao period and Luo Changbai, whose cultivation had inexplicably surged to the mid-Ancestral Dao period, both of whom they couldn’t defeat.

No matter what means the Dao Palace would employ next, it was not something they could interfere with directly.

With a significant disparity in power, leaving was the best option. They needed to go back and plan carefully.

The three of them flew silently towards the sky above the abyss, avoiding the Heavenly Dao patterns here, returning to the ground, and then flew out without looking back.

Wufeng Broken Sword, or even the Broken Foot Great Cauldron, were both left far behind them.

To avoid unnecessary troubles, Xiang Beifei did not linger further in Common Valley. He knew the route out well, quickly mingling into the crowd, and then followed the aura left by the two Giant Spirits to find them.

"How is it? Did you resolve your matters?" Zhai Kong asked.

Xiaohei said seriously, "Things aren’t resolved, more trouble has emerged."

"What trouble? Do you need us to step in?" Zhai Kong asked.

Xiang Beifei shook his head, "This is not something you can solve, it needs careful planning."

He glanced around, then asked, "Where’s Li?"

"You mean that girl? She appeared a while ago, asked us to pass a message to you, and left." Feng said.

"What did she say?" Xiang Beifei frowned.

"She said she needed to do something and not to wait for her. She will come find you in a while." Feng said.

"Did she say what she needed to do?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"No, she seemed very serious, preoccupied." Feng replied.

Xiang Beifei fell into deep thought.

This girl, always so secretive, and now she’s leaving without a word.

But he also knew that Li Qianluo was someone who had a sense of propriety in her actions. Despite her bold personality, she was meticulous and wouldn’t act recklessly.

"Oh right, she asked me to give this to you, said you might find it useful." Zhai Kong took out a golden lotus from his bosom and handed it to Xiang Beifei.

This golden lotus was only half the size of a palm, just a bud, not yet bloomed, emitting a faint golden light.

"What is this?"

Xiang Beifei took the golden lotus and examined it closely.

Zhai Kong shrugged, saying, "I’m just the messenger."

Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment, not immediately inspecting the golden lotus, but putting it away, then glanced back at Common Valley, and said, "Let’s go, leave this place."

They quickly distanced themselves from this place, flying outward.

After a whole day’s journey, they returned to the Congji abyss, regardless of the current situation in Edge Corner Airspace, they had no intention of managing it anymore.

Xiang Beifei was not in a hurry to follow Feng and Zhai Kong to find the old Giant Spirit. He had to arrange matters for the Human Race first.

In the void near Congji abyss, he sensed the power of the Ancestral Dao realm of the Heavenly Thunder Venerable within him, pondered for a moment, and his body began to glow with a blue light, lightning spread through his body, forming strands of divine patterns.

Buzz!

The lightning divine pattern was drawn out from his body, gradually forming a skeleton in the air.

As expected, it was the Heavenly Thunder Venerable!

"Can I still retain my consciousness?"

The orbits of the Heavenly Thunder Venerable’s skeletal frame lit up with lightning, seeming quite surprised.

When he had chosen to transform into a divine pattern to be swallowed by Xiang Beifei, he thought he should lose his consciousness, that there would be no more him, Heavenly Thunder Venerable, in the world. But he hadn’t expected Xiang Beifei not to do so.

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable glanced around, seeing Xiang Beifei to one side.

"Why?" He asked, puzzled.

"Why what?"

"I thought after gaining the divine pattern, you would devour my consciousness and occupy my power." The Heavenly Thunder Venerable said.

"I prefer relying on my own strength." Xiang Beifei said.

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable scrutinized Xiang Beifei, and said, "You’re only at the Ascending Dao stage!"

"This is only temporary." Xiang Beifei replied simply.

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable was slightly taken aback, then suddenly laughed heartily, nodding, "You indeed don’t need to rely on my power."

Xiang Beifei could have completely erased the Heavenly Thunder Venerable’s consciousness and taken over his power entirely.

The thunder power of the mid-Ancestral Dao stage, to many, was almost unattainable, and no one would willingly give up such a formidable power.

But Xiang Beifei was different.

Because, for Xiang Beifei, he was merely leveraging the Heavenly Thunder Venerable’s realm, only able to wield thunder-related attacks. For him, this was far from enough; he needed to cultivate to the Ancestral Dao realm relying on his own abilities.

As long as he cultivated to the Ancestral Dao realm, the power he could wield would rise to another level. With the current ancestral artifacts he had, then he would have the opportunity to truly engage the Dao Palace head-on!
