"They’ve run eastward, very fast."
The elder sneered.
"Chase! No one wanted by the Divine Sect has ever escaped."
The three transformed into streams of light and pursued, but after nearly an hour, the compass needle suddenly began to spin erratically, losing the target.
"How is this possible?"
The young woman was incredulous.
"Even a Sect Realm expert couldn’t completely erase their aura!"
The middle-aged man’s face was grim.
"Unless he has a high-level Sky-controlling Treasure, or..."
"Or he possesses some secret technique unknown to us."
The elder continued, eyes filled with apprehension.
"Let’s report back first and let the higher-ups in the Divine Sect decide."
Meanwhile, Gu Sheng had already flown several hundred miles, crossing the border between East Desolation and Southern Border.
He didn’t head straight for Sun City, but instead took a large detour, advancing from the northwest.
The night wind howled, and Gu Sheng pondered as he flew.
"Miao Muqing mentioned that the Southern Prince is part of the Southern Emperor Lineage..."
Gu Sheng frowned slightly.
"Now that I’ve parted ways with the Southern Emperor Lineage, I can’t guarantee the Southern Prince won’t turn against me."
"Mr. Gu, since you’re passing through my Southern Border, why not come to Sun City for a chat? I’ve prepared top-grade Spiritual Tea, waiting to entertain an old friend."
A sonorous voice like rolling thunder penetrated the clouds, reaching Gu Sheng’s ears.
He frowned slightly, halting his tunneling light, only to see a towering figure standing in the void amidst the turbulent Cloud Sea, none other than the Southern Prince, Nangong Tiance.
Gu Sheng’s eyes were filled with surprise, but he soon regained his composure.
He had deliberately avoided the route near Sun City but was still intercepted by the other party.
"Prince Nangong, long time no see, your cultivation has improved considerably."
Gu Sheng cupped his hands, his tone calm.
"However, I have urgent matters and can’t stay long, I’ll visit another day."
Nangong Tiance laughed heartily, his voice echoing far and wide.
"Hahaha, Mr. Gu, that’s too formal. If it weren’t for your Daoist Rhythm enlightening me back then, I might still be stuck outside the Human King Realm threshold. This gratitude, I’ve been thinking day and night to repay."
As he spoke, Nangong Tiance’s figure flashed, arriving within a hundred feet of Gu Sheng.
He wore a Purple Gold Python Robe, his face was resolute, and his eyes were like lightning, with dragon-shaped Qi Force faintly circling, marking him as an Earth King Realm expert.
Gu Sheng remained cautious internally.
Nangong Tiance’s strength was three points stronger than expected, clearly benefiting from the Southern Emperor’s nurturing over the years.
"The prince is too kind, it was nothing for me back then."
Gu Sheng replied indifferently.
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."
"Hold on!"
Nangong Tiance suddenly restrained his smile, his voice becoming somber.
"Mr. Gu, why the hurry? I’m entrusted by someone, there’s a matter I’d like to discuss."
Gu Sheng’s eyes flashed with sharpness.
"Oh? What matter requires the prince himself?"
The atmosphere atop the Cloud Sea turned tense abruptly.
Nangong Tiance was silent for a moment before finally speaking.
"Miao Muqing’s soul, please hand it over, Mr. Gu."
