"Goo gee gee..."

The Little Ice Silkworm seemed to have sensed Mu Jinyu's departure, mischievously made a funny face at Jing Haosi, and then with a whoosh, instantly disappeared from its spot.

Witnessing this, Jing Haosi, though somewhat annoyed, knew well that pursuing Mu Jinyu was the important task at hand, thus ignored the little creature, turning instead to assist Wu Xiongfei in suppressing the Dragon Corpse.

"Roar ho!!"

With a sudden surge of anger, the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse let out a furious roar, subsequently surging Dragon Qi from around its body. After striking the Eight Desolations Cauldron once, it grabbed the ragged Bi Fang Cauldron from beside it and rushed underground abruptly.

The enormous Dragon Corpse spanning over a hundred yards, akin to a steel fortress, emitted a cold and chilling sheen throughout, yet upon entering the ground, it did not crash a deep pit into it. Instead, akin to a loach burrowing into tofu, it vanished swiftly underground.

"Earth Escape?!"

"No, this is its Dragon Soul, borrowing the underground Kunlun Dragon Vein to flee!"

Observing the escape of the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse, Jing Haosi and Wu Xiongfei, after a few moments of shock and reaction, inferred the method of its escape.

"Where are you going!"

Naturally, they wouldn't let the Dragon Corpse slip away easily; with the sudden decision of the Dragon Corpse to flee, it implied that Mu Jinyu was controlling it, and unwilling to let it go either. Hence, by following the Dragon Corpse, they could trace it directly to Mu Jinyu!

Thus, enraged, both shouted, each wielding a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, and utilized Earth Escape to burrow underground, pursuing the Dragon Corpse.

Nearby, Lei Yongshou, who was entangled in a battle with the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend using the Five Beasts Spirit Fan, grew anxious upon witnessing this, shouting, "Hey hey hey, how could you leave me behind? Shouldn't you help me subdue this ghastly thing together?"

The Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, sinister and vicious, during its struggle with Lei Yongshou, had already gnawed at the Five Beasts Spirit Fan once opportunistically. Although that bite didn't damage the fan, its spiritual nature diminished significantly.

Lei Yongshou had initially hoped that Wu Xiongfei and Jing Haosi, after resolving the Dragon Corpse and the Ice Silkworm, would come to assist in settling this ghostly entity as well. However, as the Dragon Corpse fled unexpectedly, they followed suit.

This left him lamenting loudly in his heart.

What Lei Yongshou wasn't aware of was that Wu Xiongfei and Jing Haosi had long perceived that the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse was a True Dragon Corpse, and while the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend appeared more imposing than the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse, it was of no real use and posed the danger of devouring its master, hence were disinclined to subdue it.

"Roar ho!"

With Jing Haosi and Wu Xiongfei leaving, the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend instantly roared angrily to the sky, growing even more ferocious, adopting a reckless attitude in its fight against Lei Yongshou.

Ultimately, it managed to bite into the Phoenix Feathers of the Five Beasts Spirit Fan, swallowing it in one gulp, as its whole body emitted crimson light wildly, and attacked the people of the Divine Formation Sect, slaughtering indiscriminately.

After several minutes, the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend, upon consuming the blood of hundreds, broke through the siege and fled the scene.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Lei Yongshou, observing the Five Beasts Spirit Fan in his hand missing several crimson Phoenix Feathers, completely transformed into a fragmented Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, bellowed loudly in fury.

At last, seeing that he couldn't stop the Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend and witnessing it slip away, Lei Yongshou naturally placed the blame on Mu Jinyu.

"Humph, damn it, unless I peel off your skin and muscle and seize the Dragon Corpse today, it's hard to extinguish my anger!"

Lei Yongshou snorted angrily, preparing to deploy Earth Escape to catch up with Wu Xiongfei and Jing Haosi.

Just at that moment, a thought suddenly struck him, reminding him of the Great Elder of Divine Formation Sect, supposedly killed during their pursuit of Mu Jinyu.

He thought to himself, since Jing Haosi was unrighteous, there was no need to blame him for lacking benevolence.

Subsequently, Lei Yongshou chased towards the direction where Mu Jinyu and the Great Elder of Divine Formation Sect had fled earlier.

His thought was, since Jing Haosi didn't assist him earlier, there was no fault in scavenging their Divine Formation Sect's corpses.

Mu Jinyu must've been hunted down like a stray dog; even if he successfully killed the Great Elder of Divine Formation Sect, he likely didn't have the time to retrieve the body, focusing more on fleeing.

Since Jing Haosi and Wu Xiongfei went to chase the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse, it was clear that following them now would be too late, hence it would be better to check on the life or death of the Great Elder of Divine Formation Sect first.

If he found the latter still alive, he wouldn't mind sending him off while taking his Storage Bag, considering it as payback for Jing Haosi inviting him to encircle Mu Jinyu only to abandon him later!

Soon enough, Lei Yongshou reached the spot where Mu Jinyu and the Great Elder were earlier in pursuit and fleeing.

"Huh?!"

Lei Yongshou furrowed his brows, detecting only slight traces of their battle, yet unable to see the Great Elder of Divine Formation Sect's corpse.

"Could it be that the person has already been killed by him and the body retrieved along the way?"

Lei Yongshou pondered with knitted brows, then noticed specks of bloodstains amid the forest below, atop some bushes, and descended to inspect.

"Ah!!"

When Lei Yongshou's right hand touched the bloodstain to determine if it was left by the Great Elder of Divine Formation Sect, he abruptly realized something eerie about it and let out a shrill cry.

Instantly, he was thrust into a life-and-death predicament.

Not long thereafter.

Lei Yongshou managed to escape with his life, although losing an arm in the process, fleeing desperately to his Boundless Sect, fearing to pursue Mu Jinyu any further.

...

On the other side.

Mu Jinyu took Jian Ruyan and Wen Rou with him, departing the Southern Domain, while simultaneously activating the Dragon Soul within the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse, intending to escape alongside the Bi Fang Cauldron and Dragon Corpse through the Kunlun Dragon Vein.

Inside the Bi Fang Cauldron were countless possessions, not to mention the several Spiritual Medicines he painstakingly sought to remedy Soul Seizing's aftereffects, which he would never relinquish.

Fortunately, as this generation's Dragon Head Leader, he was granted the protection of the Kunlun Dragon Vein Qi Luck. Otherwise, today he would truly suffer immense loss with all his efforts going in vain.

"Hmm?!"

Mu Jinyu initially planned to summon the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse to a certain distance before letting it burrow underground and reclaim it later.

However, he soon discovered that as the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse fled via the Kunlun Dragon Vein, two forces were relentlessly pursuing behind.

Mu Jinyu immediately surmised it was two of the Three Great Sect Masters.

"Trying to follow the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse to trace and locate me? Hehe... then I'll send you all a grand gift!"

Mu Jinyu's eyes gleamed with an idea, contemplating taking a risk to lure all his enemies together in one location.

In doing so, he could avert the threat to the Heavenly Sword Faction while simultaneously catching all these foes in one fell swoop.

Having made up his mind, Mu Jinyu proceeded to find a secure hiding place for Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, then ventured alone, steering the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse towards the Northern Region.

Due to the vast distance between the Southern Domain and the Northern Region and the strenuous effort required to maneuver the Dragon Corpse using the Dragon Soul, Mu Jinyu couldn't direct them to the Northern Region in one go.

Whenever he encountered fatigue, Mu Jinyu would command the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse to submerge into the deepest part of the Dragon Vein, allowing the pursuing enemies behind to momentarily lose track.

After resting adequately, he directed the Dragon Soul again, steering the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse gradually toward the Northern Region.

After a full five days.

Through the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse, Mu Jinyu finally lured everyone to the deepest part of the Northern Region's Extremely Cold Hell!
