Chapter 47: Murong You’s Outcome

Whether I survive depends on this very moment . Although Murong You was disheartened, his desire to live strengthened .

He used a forbidden spell and sped towards the raging river . Although losing an arm caused the situation to become dire, the forbidden spell made him much faster than normal .

Faster! Faster! Faster! Murong You frantically ran for his life while watching his back .

Meng Chuan continued to follow him .

He didn’t try to kill me? It seems that unleashing such incredible power is also a type of forbidden technique . He is talented and promising, so he doesn’t dare to use a forbidden technique too frequently . Murong You couldn’t help but feel lucky . For the sake of his life, he used a forbidden spell without hesitating . For peerless geniuses like Meng Chuan, they cherished their bodies and carefully rationed the usage of forbidden techniques—since they were afraid their foundations would be damaged .

Caoyun River . Murong You looked at the raging river in front of him, and couldn’t help but feel delighted . He immediately dived, transforming into a blur as he entered the river .

This pursuit had lasted roughly half a minute .

They had gone past a few streams . For instance, the street where Vice Branch Masters Tu and Gao had died was just beside a 20-foot wide stream .

However, that stream was too narrow . Even if he entered the stream, enemies on the bank could sense the fluctuations in the water . If the tracking continued, he would be doomed once Fairy Meng arrived .

Only a wide and deep river allowed him to escape pursuit .

This is Caoyun River . It’s 800 feet wide . He can’t track me . Murong You dove deeper into the river . The deeper he went, the harder it would be for someone on the bank to find him .

After diving, he quickly swam towards the middle of Caoyun River—which was also the deepest spot .

Oh?

Standing by the riverbank, Meng Chuan could sense Murong You . At first, he could sense Murong You clearly, but as Murong You dove six feet deep, he was unable to “see” clearly . He could only sense the aura heading for deeper depth . Even his aura was rapidly weakening .

Murong You dived deeper and swam further away .

Meng Chuan didn’t dare stand near the water surface . With his current strength, he was able to walk on water . However, if Murong You attacked him, he would be in a dire situation . If he was dragged into the river, he would lose his life .

Soil and rocks are the greatest obstacles to my sensory domain . River water comes second . I can’t sense him once he’s ten feet deep . Meng Chuan frowned .

Murong You had already disappeared from his senses .

At Caoyun River’s middle, the water depth was nearly 60 feet . The depth of the river was 20 feet, even when one was close to the banks . After all, huge ships passed through the river .

He escaped from my senses . In the darkness, Meng Chuan stood by the shore and looked at the sparkling Caoyun River . Many thoughts flashed through his mind .

…

Meanwhile…

Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai had left Eastcalm Prefecture again . They headed out of town for quite some time every year .

However, because of the new year, Fairy Meng had been in the ancestral mansion for the past few days . When Meng Chuan released the distress flare—one that Fairy Meng had personally given him—the Quintessential Energy mark in it allowed her to sense it immediately .

Oh? Fairy Meng held her walking stick and came out of the house . When she looked up, she saw the rising flare .

Meng Chuan is requesting help?

Fairy Meng felt her heart tighten . She gently slammed her walking stick on the ground, and an invisible wave immediately spread out . The wave fluctuations were extremely fast . In the blink of an eye, the wave had spread five kilometers in every direction—including the area where the flare had been lit .

She sensed Meng Chuan fleeing in panic as the white-browed Murong You, the bear-like Vice Branch master Tu, and the smug and confident Vice Branch Gao cornered him .

Murong You? The Skydemon Sect’s Eastcalm branch master and vice branch masters have all appeared . Even the weakest of the trio has comprehended Force and can release demonic aura . That Murong You is nearly invincible underneath the Godfiend Realm . Fairy Meng’s expression changed . Meng Chuan is in danger!

Her figure immediately vanished as she rushed over as fast as she could . She desperately rushed towards him .

She didn’t have time to probe any further . Probing would only waste time . She needed to arrive as soon as possible! In the past, she could join forces with other Godfiends at Calm Sea Pass . All she needed to do was carry out reconnaissance on their surroundings, control a domain, and leave the head-on fighting to her companions .

Whoosh .

About a minute later, Fairy Meng arrived at the area she had seen Meng Chuan fleeing in .

With a single glance, she saw Vice Branch Master Gao’s body split in two . Clearly, a sharp saber had halved his body .

Could it be that an expert saved Meng Chuan? Fairy Meng was taken aback as she slammed her walking stick lightly on the ground, producing invisible ripples .

She immediately discovered a huge bear-like corpse lying in a damaged residence not far away . It was Vice Branch Master Tu’s corpse . The fatal injury he suffered was a strike to the neck .

Invisible waves spread out for five kilometers .

She immediately discovered Murong You being pursued by Meng Chuan . Clearly, the former was fleeing in a panic while Meng Chuan was in hot pursuit .

Meng Chuan is chasing after Murong You? Fairy Meng was somewhat dazed .

When she saw the two vice branch masters’ corpses, she thought an expert had saved Meng Chuan . From the looks of it now, it was very likely that Meng Chuan had killed them . Furthermore, he was pursuing Murong You—who was invincible underneath the Godfiend realm .

Although she was shocked, Fairy Meng still rushed over .

Every step she took covered hundreds of feet . Every step she took, her walking stick would hit the ground, and invisible waves emanated out .

With every step she took, she probed the situation, and it affected her speed . However, Fairy Meng was no longer anxious . As she was very close, she was confident that Murong You would be incapable of escaping .

Meng Chuan has taken action? Fairy Meng could clearly sense that when they approached the Caoyun River, Meng Chuan’s speed suddenly increased dramatically as he slashed at Murong You . The speed of that strike shocked her . The saber art was as fast as lightning and was oppressive and tyrannical . Murong You attempted to block it with a forbidden spell . Three strikes were delivered—with the third strike being soft and bizarre—and Murong You was heavily injured . He even lost an arm .

When did Meng Chuan become this strong? Fairy Meng found it unbelievable .

Meng Chuan usually sparred with his father and Fairy Meng . But those spars were to temper his own abilities . There had been no need for him to use the Power of the Soul!

…

Under the night sky, Murong You jumped into Caoyun River . Soon, there was no movement .

Standing by the shore, Meng Chuan frowned and was clearly in a bad mood . By letting him escape, Murong You will definitely report what happened here to the demons . The demons will most likely send their subordinates to assassinate me .

He knew himself very well . He could only be considered a state’s genius without using the Power of the Soul . Once he used the Power of the Soul, he was considered a top-tier genius in the entire world . Just the fact that he could pursue Murong You—who had condensed a demon core—meant that the demons would definitely place great importance on this little fellow from the Eastcalm Prefecture .

Oh? He sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching him, much faster than when he was using the Power of the Soul .

Soon, a blurry figure arrived at Caoyun River . It was an old woman holding a walking stick .

Grandaunt . His eyes lit up .

Fairy Meng stood on the river surface as her walking stick gently touched the river surface .

The entire river began to tremble, and ripples spread out in every direction—going deep into the river . At the bottom of the river, Murong You—who was fleeing at high speed—felt threads quickly wrap around him . His expression changed, and he struggled with all his might . However, the seemingly ordinary threads were extremely tough . He was unable to escape them .

A Godfiend . Murong You revealed a look of despair . This despair of powerlessness could only happen when facing a Godfiend .

His demonic energy was sealed away as the threads entered his body . The threads then began dragging Murong You out of the river, sending him flying upwards .

He was thrown out of the water and appeared on the river surface .

Murong You saw an old woman holding a walking stick on the water surface .

Fairy Meng . Murong You felt despair . She managed to catch up after all .

Murong You . Meng Chuan instantly relaxed when he saw Murong You being dragged from the river . He didn’t need to worry about news leaking out . Murong You only took a few seconds to swim 500 feet . His speed is comparable to ordinary Seamless realm experts on land . Many fish aren’t as fast as him .

Fairy Meng held onto her walking stick and walked to the riverbank . Murong You followed in tow . The threads had wrapped around him like a dumpling .

“Grandaunt . ” Meng Chuan bowed respectfully .
