Chapter 2185 - You finally came!
Liu Li was an Empyrean who had only appeared in recent years. Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, had been away from the Upper Nine Heavens for an extremely long time, thus his understanding of Liu Li was very limited.
Of course, from his reaction to the rankings, he had a rough understanding of Liu Li"s strength. Furthermore, he had also heard Wei Xuanji mention the relations.h.i.+p between Tang Huan and Liu Li before, and knew that behind Liu Li, there was Qin Hongye, who was ranked number two, as her backer.
However, he wasn"t an ordinary Empyrean.
Qin Hongye was ranked second, and his ranking was third. All the Empyreans that had reached the peak of the Upper Realm were ranked third, and it was still unknown who would be the victor in a battle. Not to mention, he was not the strongest Empyrean on the Clear Void Dao Pavilion, and above him, there was also Gu Daozi who was ranked first on the ranking.
The Clear Void Dao Pavilion had mobilized all of the experts in the Flying Star Heaven Palace to search for Tang Huan"s whereabouts in the Heaven Realm.
Liu Li had a close relations.h.i.+p with Tang Huan, so after hearing the news, she quickly rushed over. As for her goal, she did not ask Tang Huan, so her appearance was not strange at all.
"Liu-Li, you"ve come at the right time."
Yuan Chao muttered softly as a sinister light flashed across his eyes.
Liu Li had a close relations.h.i.+p with Tang Huan, so it was obvious that she had a communication device that could fuse with Tang Huan"s Mind Stigma. As long as they could capture Liu Li, take the communication tool from her hands, and investigate Tang Huan"s whereabouts, it would be easy for them. With Mind Stigma, even if Tang Huan could deceive the Heavenly Dao, it would be hard to escape his deduction.
"Grand Elder, you mean …" Fu Anguo"s heart stirred slightly.
"Since she has delivered herself to my doorstep, does this old man even need to hesitate?" Yuan Chao laughed coldly, and between the mind instructs (in a second), he had already put away the two saint rank dao tools, "The Qin Xian Ye who is ranked second on the leaderboard can indeed make many Empyreans and sects cower in fear, but this old man is not one of them. Our Clear Void Dao Pavilion is not one of them."
"Send the message to the Sky Sovereign, make sure to keep an eye on Liu-Li." Immediately, Yuan Chao shouted again.
"Yes sir!"
Fu An Guo immediately bowed and agreed. When he straightened his waist, Yuan Chao"s figure had already disappeared from the palace. After a slight hesitation, Fu Anguo immediately followed him out. It was just as Yuan Chao had said, the Clear Void Dao Pavilion did not need to worry about Qin Xian Ye, who was behind Liu Li.
He felt that no matter how difficult Qin Xian Ye was, he wouldn"t be as difficult to deal with as Tang Huan.
… ….
Outside Star City, tens of thousands of miles away, Liu Li was walking with a cold expression.
She was well aware of the huge risks she would face if she entered the Starry Sky. If she stayed on the peak of the nine palaces, no one would dare to act rashly. Even the third ranked Yuan Chao wouldn"t dare to make a move.
In these past few years, the great formation she had set up had become even more stable.
Even if Yuan Chao acted personally, with her as the guardian, it would still be sufficient to keep Yuan Chao out of the array for a long time. With this buffer, he could last until Qin Xian Ye arrived to save him.
However, after leaving the Nine Palace Peak and arriving at the Flying Star Peak, she was like a tree that had no roots, a weed that had no roots.
Yuan Chao definitely wouldn"t have any qualms about staying in the Clear Void Dao Pavilion. However, with her current cultivation level, it would be difficult for her to contend against Yuan Chao.
Not to mention that in the Flying Star Pavilion, Yuan Chao was not the only Sky Sovereign.
Just as he arrived at the Flying Star City through the ancient transfer array, Liu Li discovered that she was being watched. Even after he left Star City, the tail behind him did not disappear.
Following her was a peak lower Empyrean from the Flying Stars, called Suo Mao.
Liu Li was not surprised by Suo Mao"s appearance. Although he was also an Empyrean level powerhouse, he couldn"t resist the orders of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion in this Flying Star Pavilion.
With Suo Mao following him, Yuan Chao would probably appear before long.
"Huh?"
Liu Li"s mind quickly spun but his speed did not slow down in the slightest. A moment later, Liu Li seemed to have sensed something, and her delicate body slightly trembled as a thin jade piece appeared in her hand. It glittered with a bright light, and was filled with an intense spirit. A hint of surprise exploded in Liu Li"s eyes as she hurriedly tried to sense what was going on.
Not long after, a happy smile appeared on Liu Li"s face before she let out a light sigh of relief.
She had just received Tang Huan"s message.
Tang Huan told her that in the process of getting rid of Yuan Chao and leaving the Clear Void Dao Pavilion, he had suffered some injuries. Now, she was hiding the Flying Star Sky Island"s sh.o.r.e and healing his injuries, telling her not to worry.
This time, she was truly relieved.
For Tang Huan to be able to send a message to hshe showed that she was indeed out of danger, and the actions of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion had confirmed this point. Even though Yuan Chao"s deduction techniques were astonis.h.i.+ng, he was obviously helpless against the idea of figuring out Tang Huan"s whereabouts. If not, he would not have caused such a ruckus in the sky.
Since Tang Huan was safe, then she would have to think of a way to get rid of the danger that was about to befall his.
Putting away the jade slip, the corner of Liu Li"s mouth curled up into a sly smile.
Since she dared to openly enter Starry Sky, she naturally believed in her own ability to protect herself. Furthermore, the main reason why she did so, was to attract the attention of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion, especially Yuan Chao, so as to lessen, and even completely eliminate the pressure on Tang Huan"s side.
A moment later, a dense aura that was alternating between white and green continuously emanated from the Glazed Palm, constantly distorting and fluctuating.
In the blink of an eye, a palm-sized leaf was formed.
Not long after, the leaf turned into a phantom image that covered Glazed Body, followed by a green and white aura appearing from her palm. A new leaf was formed, and there was no aura coming out from this strange leaf.
When Liu Li flew past the peak of a mountain, the leaf in her palm floated down and disappeared into the forest below.
Unknowingly, hundreds of thousands of kilometers had already pa.s.sed.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
A figure suddenly appeared behind Liu Li in a ghostly manner and then, like a black ray of light, appeared in front of her, blocking her way.
This person was the elder of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion, Yuan Chao.
Not long after, another figure appeared a dozen miles behind him. His body was st.u.r.dy and he had a mighty appearance. It was surprisingly Suo Mao.
"You finally came."
Liu Li didn"t pay attention to Suo Mao who was behind her. Instead, she looked at Yuan Chao and said with a smile.
"Hand over the communication device that you have with Tang Huan, for Qin Xian Ye"s sake, I can let you go. Otherwise, you won"t be able to leave this Xing Tian."
Yuan Chao couldn"t be bothered to waste his breath anymore and shouted straightforwardly.
"Countless years ago, the disciples of the Pangu Heaven Sect also said something similar to this to me. It"s a pity that I"m still alive and kicking, and I guess this time is no exception."
Liu Li"s forehead was filled with laughter.
