<strong>Chapter 409 - Hiding</strong>


    A few minutester, Hierarch cher’s intent swept over the vast earth. He quickly found Yan Yang, who was in the process of flying away.


    A powerful aura locked onto Yan Yang.


    “Why has Hierarch cher decided to catch up?” Yan Yang cupped his hands. Things were going exactly as Nie Li had predicted. Nie Li had also asked him to dy Hierarch cher for as long as possible.


    Hierarch cher coldly snorted at him, “Yan Yang, did you take any treasures with you from the pce? If you hand them over right now, I won’t kill you. But if you insist on being stubborn, you should know the oue!”


    Yan Yang gave a slight bow at Hierarch cher’s words. “I don’t quite understand, Hierarch cher. I’ve already given you everything. I have nothing else with me!”


    Hierarch cher growled in anger, “Yan Yang, you dared to deceive me, don’t me me for not showing your master respect!”


    “I wouldn’t dare to deceive Hierarch cher. Please tell me what have I done wrong?” Yan Yang said with his hands cupped.


    Yan Yang’s expression was calm, as if he’d nned all of this in advance. Hierarch cher was a little confused. Did Yan Yang really not have any treasures? Then he remembered. There was someone next to Yan Yang, when they passed him earlier. That person was only a Heavenly Fate Realm, so he hadn’t paid him any attention. But that Heavenly Fate Realm had suddenly disappeared! This was extremely suspicious!


    Hierarch cher knitted his brows and solemnly demanded, “Yan Yang, where’s that person who was with you earlier?”


    “The person who was with me? Are you talking about that Heavenly Fate Realm servant?” Yan Yang paused for a moment and continued, “Oh, so you were talking about him? That brat was being impudent, so I killed him!”


    Killed?


    As if Hierarch cher would take his words for it!


    There was definitely something fishy about that Heavenly Fate Realm. Maybe Yan Yang had already given the treasures to him!


    “Hmph! I doubt that a Heavenly Fate Realm can escape my reach anyways!” Hierarch cher fanned his intent through the area, scanning for traces of Nie Li.


    By right, with Hierarch cher’s strength and adding on to the fact that he came in contact with Nie Li’s aura earlier on, he should be able to search for Nie Li very quickly! However, he couldn’t find Nie Li’s trace in the surrounding area!


    He couldn’t find him!


    Rage filled Hierarch cher’s head. He waved his right hand and a majestic aura wrapped itself around Yan Yang. Then, Hierarch cher flew off, dragging Yan Yang with him.


    After several hours of searching, Hierarch cher still couldn’t find a trace of Nie Li. Regardless of how fast a Heavenly Fate Realm could travel, there was no way one could escape Hierarch cher’s reach!


    Yan Yang feigned innocence and said, “Hierarch cher, I already told you, but you refused to believe me. I’ve already killed him!”


    “You’re dancing with death!” Hierarch cher’s face was a frightening shade of ck as he pulled Yan Yang through the air.


    He was going to vent all his anger onto Yan Yang. Since Yan Yang refused to reveal Nie Li’s location, then there was no point in keeping him alive!


    The moment Hierarch cher was about to grab Yan Yang, his energy was repelled with a sudden *Bang!*.


    A resonant voice sounded throughout the skies. “cher, I wonder how has my disciple offended you, so much that you want toy your hands on him?”


    Hierarch cher’s heart chilled. That old fart hade! He’d suffered a setback from the pce just a little while ago; with his current strength, he wouldn’t have any odds of winning and he might even be killed! He definitely couldn’t afford to y it hard!


    However, Hierarch cher definitely wasn’t going to show any weakness in case he was seen through. “Old fart, your disciple has deceived me. Killing him is only a light punishment!”


    The voice sounded again from the horizon. “Hierarch cher, let my disciple go now that I’m here. Otherwise. neither of us would benefit from a battle!”


    “Hmph! Consider his luck good today. I’ll let him go, for now!” In truth, Hierarch cher had already searched Yan Yang from top to bottom. He’d done such a thorough job that he’d even used his Heavenly Energy to inspect Yan Yang’s physique. However, he hadn’t found a thing. If there were any treasures, Yan Yang had probably already sent them away!


    Since that old fart was here, he’d have to pay a huge price if he wanted to kill Yan Yang.


    Hierarch cher turned around and flew off.


    “Master!” Yan Yang faced the sky and cupped his hands.


    The voice sounded. “cher seems a little off today. He gave up too easily. Well, forget it. Since you’re safe, let’s just go back!”


    “Yes!” Yan Yang nodded and flew off


    Void Illusionary Divine Pce


    The Holy Son Li Huo looked at his returning master and bowed, “Master, how was it? Did you manage to capture Yan Yang?”


    Hierarch cher replied, “Yan Yang didn’t have any treasures on him!”


    His head was only filled with rage as he thought of this trip to the pce. He hadn’t obtained any treasures and he’d even suffered a setback, since so much of his intent had been burned away by those ck mes.


    “No treasures?” Holy Son Li Huo slightly frowned. “Then, did Master see anyone with Yan Yang?”


    Hierarch cher was even more certain at those words. There was definitely something fishy with that Heavenly Fate Realm who was by Yan Yang’s side!


    “I’ve already memorised his aura. Even if he managed to escape this time, I’ll definitely capture him next time!” Hierarch cher coldly snorted as his gaze turned deep. Since that kid was next to Yan Yang, he must be from the Skyze Sect. He’d definitely send someone to the Skyze Sect to investigate the matter! “On top of that, we should find a chance to kill Yan Yang at least once. That person has the treasures right now, and who knows when he might hand them over to Yan Yang!”


    “Yes!” Holy Son Li Huo replied.


    Wu Yazi was searched until he was empty, and he’d even been interrogated once. In the end, he returned home in a sorry state. He was extremely dejected. He’d followed and helped Nie Li and Xiao Yu for so long, but he’d gained nothing in the end.


    Roughly a few dozen meters away from the pce, there was a scroll buried more than thirty meters underground.


    It was the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting.


    Hierarch cher had search for a trace of Nie Li’s aura, but what he didn’t know was that Nie Li had already hidden himself inside the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting. Thanks to the painting’s ability to mask energies, it appeared no different from any ordinary scroll.


    Nie Li was worried that Hierarch cher might still be nearby, so he’d spent his time cultivating inside the painting.


    Nie Li sat cross-legged in the sky as he borrowed the power of the Demon Blood Sacrifice to continuously condense his cultivation.


    Earlier, he had received several rank-ups in a row, just by activating a small portion of that energy. But to prevent Wu Yazi from killing him, Nie Li didn’t dare to let his cultivation advance too fiercely. But now that he was inside the painting, so he would naturally be impatient to unleash the entire force of the Demon Blood Sacrifice!


    This was Primordial Demon Blood!


    Thanks to this trip to the Void Illusionary Divine Pce, Nie Li felt his urgentck of strength.


    But now, he’d soon step into the Heavenly Star Realm!
