Chapter 1361: Chapter 826: Comeback, Reluctance

Faced with the gaze of the white-haired elder and the charming beauty, the white-clothed woman was fearless, even challenging them as she spoke.

The white-haired elder sighed, "Sect Master Lin, why do you say this? Whether you believe it or not, our Netherworld Palace has never harbored hostility towards your Kongming Sect."

"Indeed, besides, we’re just divine thought avatars. Fighting is meaningless; at most, it’s just the loss of one divine thought," the charming beauty said dispassionately.

She really wanted to teach the other a lesson.

This bitch always targeted her, calling her a demon woman at every turn, which had long displeased her.

But she also knew that fighting here was meaningless.

At their level, conflicts inevitably dragged on.

Unless the true body could be destroyed, merely losing one or two divine thought avatars was insignificant and would not affect the root.

"It seems you dare not act after all, indeed timid as a mouse. Hide in the shadows so long that even your courage becomes as small as a mouse’s. Two against one, yet you dare not move, Qing Xii, let’s go."

The white-clothed woman naturally did not believe a word of their speech.

She chuckled coldly, then waved her sleeve, spatial power swirling around Qing Xii and Yu Jian, and her silhouette disappeared from sight.

"That bitch!"

Listening to the white-clothed woman’s last words, the charming beauty flew into a rage and immediately regretted not teaching her a lesson.

"Enough, Master Mu, why engage in such needless disputes? If we really fight here, should that person return, can you withstand him? Judging by his attitude, he seems rather displeased with us."

The white-haired elder’s words suddenly caused the charming beauty to pause.

Regarding Lu Qing, she indeed felt considerable apprehension.

If he were to return, this divine thought avatar of hers stood no chance at all.

After a few moments of silence, the charming beauty reluctantly said, "How could such a monster appear in this world? How does he cultivate to possess such power before even stepping into the Harmony Stage?"

Reflecting on the prowess Lu Qing displayed earlier, the charming beauty felt a wave of helplessness.

If Lu Qing were in the Harmony Stage, she would not be as apprehensive.

And yet, the opposing side had not yet achieved Harmonization but already boasted Harmony Stage combat strength, which was truly terrifying.

She could hardly imagine how powerful Lu Qing would become when he truly stepped into the Harmony Stage.

"Who knows, such anomalies in the world always defy logic, unimaginable to ordinary people," sighed the white-haired elder.

His gaze was deep, with unknown thoughts swirling in his mind.

Observing his expression, the charming beauty grew suspicious.

"Old Ghost Qiu, I feel like you know something, are you hiding something from me?"

"Master Mu worries too much," the white-haired elder simply shook his head.

But the already-suspicious charming beauty could not be so easily fooled.

Yet she did not continue questioning, merely remaining vigilant in her heart.

The Netherworld Palace’s history predates their Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal by far.

It is one of the most ancient forces in this starry sky.

Its knowledge of the world’s secrets certainly surpasses theirs.

Even though both sides are currently in a cooperative relationship, she must be cautious not to be betrayed by these cunning individuals.

"Finally ended, who’d have thought Kongming Sect, Netherworld Palace, and Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal also have Harmony Stage experts lurking in the Heavenly Origin Great World."

Outside the world membrane, the golden-eyed middle-aged man let out a long breath.

Honestly, seeing the appearance of the white-clothed woman just now shocked him greatly.

Unexpectedly, besides Mo Cangtian and several other demons from the Black and White Temple, so many top factions had Harmony Stage experts sneaking into the Heavenly Origin Great World.

And each one is a seasoned Harmony Stage, their realm cultivation easily able to crush him and Luo Yuantian, who are merely in the Initial Stage of Harmony.

"Apparently, this individual did something remarkable in the starry sky before entering the Heavenly Origin Great World; otherwise, he wouldn’t attract the simultaneous attention of so many top factions."

Luo Yuantian also looked solemn.

Originally, he thought Lu Qing provoked the Black and White Temple, thereby inciting Mo Cangtian and others to chase him.

Now it seemed, things were far more complex than they imagined.

For a moment, Luo Yuantian became worried.

With this defeat, uncertain of what actions the Black and White Temple might take next.

Combined with the continued presence of the white-clothed woman and others in the Heavenly Origin Great World, he could hardly predict what would happen in the upcoming days.

The Human Race, under such pressure, would they withstand it?

Amid Luo Yuantian’s concern, from another position in the world membrane, Mo Cangtian stood in midair, expression grim, sensing the movements within the Heavenly Origin Great World.

"Sure enough, everything has been secretly orchestrated by the Netherworld Palace."

The appearance of the white-haired elder and others immediately resolved a long-held suspicion in Mo Cangtian’s mind.

When news of Lu Qing was continually received earlier, he already felt something being plotted behind his back.

Yet, urgent to find Lu Qing at the time, he hadn’t the resources to explore thoroughly.

Now seeing the white-haired elder emerge, he finally confirmed his suspicions.

"Old fellows, what exactly does your Netherworld Palace intend to do?"

Mo Cangtian’s expression grew even darker.

Having already felt quite poorly due to their failure with three Harmony Stage experts acting together.

Now discovering someone scheming behind him, could hardly remain calm.

However, despite his anger, Mo Cangtian currently could not go in to confront.

His divine thought avatar was destroyed, though nonfatal, his Divine Soul was somewhat weakened.

Furthermore, nurturing a divine thought avatar is complex, and even at his realm, a perfect divine thought avatar requires a minimum of seven days.

Meaning, for the next seven days, he temporarily could not re-enter the Heavenly Origin Great World.

Thus, after a period of silence, Mo Cangtian suppressed his fury, sitting cross-legged in the void, beginning to condense a new avatar.

After a day passed, Mo Cangtian suddenly sensed, not far away, two spatial fluctuations emerging.

He opened his eyes, seeing two familiar figures.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister."

The hooked-nose elder and the gray-robed old woman had appeared once again.

However, the aura they exuded now was terrifying beyond their previous divine thought avatars.

Evidently, this time they brought their true bodies.

"Well, do you know where the Devil went?"

As soon as they appeared, the hooked-nose elder asked immediately.

"I don’t know. After that kid seized the Dark Treasure Pearl, he vanished. His ability to suppress his aura is exceptional; I can’t sense his whereabouts," Mo Cangtian shook his head.

"The Treasure Pearl indeed fell into his hands?" The hooked-nosed elder’s heart sank.

"Exactly, and after the world’s divine thought avatar perished, Lin Caiyu from Kongming Sect, Old Ghost Qiu from Netherworld Palace, and Mu Demoness from Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal appeared, forming an acquaintanceship with that kid."

Mo Cangtian recounted everything he witnessed.

"These sewer rats really have been lurking all along!"

The hooked-nose elder’s face was grim.

Though he suspected other experts spying secretly, he hadn’t anticipated so many significant forces sending people over.

Reflecting on their defeat at Lu Qing’s hands, witnessed by many, his expression turned even uglier.

"These are just trivial matters," the gray-robed old woman said. "Senior Brother, what should we do now? If the Treasure Pearl falls to that kid and the temple master learns of this, we may face punishment."

Mention of the temple master distinctly unsettled the hooked-nose elder.

Though both in the Harmony Stage, in front of the temple master, his heart shuddered with an inexplicable fear.

If the temple master knew of this, once enraged, he dared not imagine what might happen.

"Regardless of the cost, the Treasure Pearl must be retrieved!" clenched the hooked-nose elder.
