Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Yu Zhibai Transmits a Message to Kong Wu!

"It might have been Yu Zhibai who killed him! But even if he didn’t, he’s inextricably linked to the murder!"

Kong Wu spoke with a grave voice, glancing at the others as he did.

Seeing that their expressions remained unchanged, he continued, "If we encounter Yu Zhibai later, pretend as if this never happened. If there’s a chance, we’ll capture him alive first before anything else!"

He finally set aside his pride.

There’s a demon behind every abnormality; thinking back on Yu Zhibai’s previous actions, there were indeed quite a few irregularities.

And the biggest doubt came from the fact that although the six of them had split up to search for Li Yanran, Yu Zhibai ended up walking alongside Tang Tieming.

"Yes, Big Brother!"

The others instantly grew solemn, realizing from his tone that Kong Wu was truly taking this matter seriously.

"Alright, from now on, let’s not split up. Keep moving forward, and at any sign of discovery, wait for my command!"

Kong Wu waved his hand, and the other three moved side by side, flying forward together.

...

Within the cave, Yu Zhibai was in total disarray, all his attention focused behind him.

Lu Chen’s strength had exceeded his expectations.

He was also torn between stopping to fight to the death—potentially using up his wooden dummy substitute—or waiting to see how things unfolded.

But with Lu Chen’s speed being slightly faster and equipped with Spiritual Fire, his own ice spells were rendered less effective, putting him at a disadvantage.

"If it really comes down to it, I’ll have to fight with everything I’ve got. It’s a good chance to test his strength and then find Kong Wu to relay this information! But... Tang Tieming said that sentence to the Sound Transmission Talisman earlier; I wonder if Kong Wu heard it. If he did, what would he think?"

Yu Zhibai was caught in a dilemma.

He had no choice but to be so cautious.

If he wanted a broader path to immortality, the only way was through Haotian Sect, but that required a price to pay.

He was capable of enduring in silence.

But the fear was, Kong Wu would be unreasonable and wouldn’t give him a chance to explain.

If that happened, without his wooden dummy substitute, his death would be certain!

Watching Lu Chen draw increasingly close, Yu Zhibai clenched his teeth. First, he swallowed a medicinal pill, then quickly took out a Sound Transmission Talisman!

The wooden dummy substitute was his last resort, only to be used in a life-or-death situation!

"Get lost!"

Yu Zhibai first cast a spell with his folding fan, rapidly forming a thick layer of ice on the cave walls with the Thousand-Mile Ice Seal, extending towards Lu Chen to block his way.

After delaying Lu Chen, he activated the Sound Transmission Talisman in his hand.

"Brother Kong, I’ve found Li Yanran’s senior brother, and he caused me to accidentally kill our brother Tang! The place is in a low mountain with a deep, bottomless cave!"

The Sound Transmission Talisman would exist only for the duration of three breaths, after which it would convey the message.

Yu Zhibai spoke rapidly, sending out the words he had prepared.

Regardless of whether Kong Wu believed it or not.

Even if Kong Wu eventually turned on him, as long as he had his wooden dummy substitute, he could save his life!

It was with this thought in mind that Yu Zhibai chose to use the Sound Transmission Talisman!

Meanwhile, when Lu Chen saw the ice layer spreading on the ground and across the cave walls, he knew Yu Zhibai had taken action. Just as he was about to burn it with Spiritual Fire, he heard Yu Zhibai transmitting the message to Kong Wu!

His face changed immediately!

It was not that he couldn’t kill Yu Zhibai!

But if Kong Wu and the others came, what about Li Yanran and the rest... what then?

Lu Chen was also planning for the long term. No matter what, he had to kill Yu Zhibai first and then move Li Yanran and the others!

Kong Wu was after Li Yanran’s Wood Spiritual Bead!

And now that Yu Zhibai had notified Kong Wu, Lu Chen’s earlier worries were moot. In the end, he would have to confront Haotian Sect. So why wait?

Lu Chen flicked his hand, and Spiritual Fire emerged from his palm, quickly transforming into a sea of flames that repelled the advancing Ice Spiritual Power.

At the same time, he also deployed the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, focusing on Yu Zhibai’s back.

"Spear Strikes the Sky!"
