Chapter 734: Chapter 326: The Remnants of the Blue Sky Lord

Chen Shi stepped outside and realized that it was already late, the exact time when the Three Corpse Gods become active. Without hesitation, he stomped his foot, a gentle breeze arose, lifting him up as he rode the wind, moving with increasing speed.

The Black Pot followed closely behind, thriving in the underworld as if it were a fish in water. No matter how swiftly Chen Shi rode the wind, he couldn’t shake it off.

As night fell, Immortal City grew lively, and the Three Corpse Gods of each Yuan Chen Palace emerged to roam. The masters of the Yuan Chen Palaces also could not resist the allure of the Three Corpse Gods and plucked incense money from their respective Treasure Trees to indulge in pleasure-seeking activities.

On Heavenly Street, ghosts and humans crossed paths, the sky bustling with activity as well, with many Ghost Cars speeding through the air at a rapid pace.

Some Ghost Cars were drawn by skeletal dragons and phoenixes, while others were led by floating giant skulls ablaze in front, and still others used gigantic underworld worms as foot soldiers, coming in various strange forms.

In the sky were also floating red sedan chairs, carried by ghostly monsters, treading on paper copper coins as they traveled in the air.

There were also the Ghost Gods who took shortcuts by harnessing the Yin wind, charging recklessly through the air.

Chen Shi and the Black Pot quickly maneuvered, avoiding the carriages in the sky.

"Meng Banshan has been gone for a while. Given the complexity of Immortal City, where would he head to?"

Chen Shi frowned slightly, now he could only head to the Young Master’s Yuan Chen Palace. Young Master Wei Yue surely wouldn’t tolerate Meng Banshan and likely ordered someone to eliminate him.

"However, even if we rush there, the pursuers might have already departed. Huh?"

As Chen Shi moved like lightning, he suddenly saw a group of Heaven Listeners flapping their ears, flying over the buildings of various Yuan Chen Palaces.

"Would the direction these Heaven Listeners are heading be the same direction Meng Banshan left?"

He immediately changed course to pursue those Heaven Listeners.

Suddenly, each Heaven Listener disappeared into thin air.

"These Heaven Listeners went to the Mortal World! Black Pot!"

Just as Chen Shi finished speaking, the Black Pot rushed forth from behind, with rolling Demon Qi engulfing him.

The next moment, Chen Shi and the Black Pot appeared high above a vast and boundless ice field, where the northern wind howled, stirring snow, and everything was covered in white.

This was the Mortal World, and it was also night, with the sky slantedly hanging a bright moon, which was the eye of the Outer Heaven True God.

In Xinxiang, the moon was in the north. In Western Capital, it was in the northeast, while on the Northern Ice Field, the moon appeared in the south.

Though the ice field was at night, the reflection of the snow kept it from being dark.

Heaven Listeners flew over the ice field, and Chen Shi followed them, eyes flashing, "Heaven Listeners record major events happening everywhere, so Yin Commander Meng Banshan being attacked and killed is definitely a major event! These Heaven Listeners should be rushing for this matter."

From ahead came the sound of clinking noises, Chen Shi followed the sound and saw, despite the late hour, in the icy world, there was actually a quarry, with an old man kindling a bonfire, extracting stone materials in the ice and snow, using an axe to split the stones.

"Working so late?"

Chen Shi cast a quick glance and saw that the stones the old man was mining seemed to be for making tombstones, with several steles standing nearby.

He continued to pursue the Heaven Listeners, flying for about an hour, when suddenly each Heaven Listener paused, landing in the snow.

They scurried across the snow, gradually spreading out, forming an arc-like distribution.

Chen Shi was slightly startled. He initially thought these Heaven Listeners entered the Mortal World from the underworld because the underworld was vast, thousands of times, tens of thousands of times larger than the Mortal World, thus making travel quicker from the Mortal World.

However, these Heaven Listeners actually did not return to the underworld!

"The Ghost Gods under Young Master Wei Yue’s command must be intercepting Yin Commander Meng Banshan in the underworld. Why then are these Heaven Listeners monitoring events in the Mortal World? Did I follow the wrong group, and are they on a different mission?"

Chen Shi was about to instruct the Black Pot to take him back to the underworld when he suddenly sensed a change in his mood.

He perceived that in addition to himself and the Black Pot, and these Heaven Listeners, there were other presences in this ice field.

Since childhood, Chen Shi had practiced the Three Light Righteous Qi Technique, honing his spirit far beyond his peers, and now, having cultivated to Xiaolang’s Emperor Chapter Skill, an Immortal Level Technique, his spirit was exceptionally resilient.

At this moment, his spirit spread out, everything within ten miles in his mind appeared as if he saw it with his own eyes.

He saw forty-two individuals hidden in this icy world, along with twelve "voids."

Yes, voids.

His spirit swept across there, unable to perceive anything, as if part of his spirit was lost.

It felt like an empty space, with nothing there, so it was void!

This strange sensation would only occur when faced with entities vastly stronger than himself!

"Those forty-two people I can sense may not necessarily be weaker than me, and might even be much stronger. I can sense them because they haven’t surpassed my comprehension. All possessing Primordial Spirits, even if they are in the Void Refinement Realm, Unification Realm, Cutting Three Corpses, achieving Pure Yang, or Refining God Hundred Feet, they’re still within an understandable range. Only those surpassing Refining God are beyond my comprehension. Such entities are voids."

Chen Shi silently contemplated, "In this ice field, there are twelve voids. This indicates there are at least twelve Returning Void Realm existences."

These twelve top experts, like the other forty-two individuals, made no movement.

Clearly, they were waiting.

They had set an ambush, waiting for their prey to enter the trap.

And these Heaven Listeners’ journey was precisely to monitor this battle.

The ambush circle wasn’t large. A range of ten miles is small for cultivators, for those in the Divinity Transformation Realm, it’s like a stone’s throw, and for Returning Void Realm existences, a ten-mile distance might as well not exist.
