--- Chapter 161 ---
As Zilong used his pure speed to travel from the Azure Cloud Continent to the Profound Sky Continent, Yu Long viewed the night sky silently.
Yu Long activated [Kaiju Maker] constantly and watched the surrounding domain. His golden eyes kept shing with a dim light every once and then.
Su Ling''er closed her eyes andy on Yu Long''sp, enjoying the night''s breeze. Thankfully, Zilong has erected a barrier around his body so Su Ling''er can sitfortably.
All of a sudden, Zilong started a conversation.
''Old Yu, about Li Suo''s Legacy. Are you sure it was the real Miracle of Life?''
Yu Long stared at the sky still and answered, ''Did you doubt me?''''No, I didn''t doubt you. It''s just that Li Suo''s legacy is quite a sensitive matter for me.'' Zilong bitterlyughed.
''Sensitive?'' Yu Long frowned slightly.
Zilong entered a moody state as he exined, ''Well, there is no point in hiding this. At some point in life, Li Suo took my daughter as her only disciple, making her the true inheritor of Divine Light Art.''
''However, my daughter was ''instantly'' dragged into a great conflict because of that. After all, the Divine Light Art is the archnemesis and great fear of the Devil Race.''
''It terrorizes nearly all Devils, except for some exceptional Devils and Devil Emperors themselves.'' Zilong sighed helplessly.
''So, I assume you want to use the Miracle of Life in my hand to find a clue about your daughter''s whereabouts?'' Yu Long immediately caught the gist of Zilong''s question earlier.
Zilong waved his tail left and right, ''It would be great if I could even get a trace of Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword, where she got sealed before the cmity started.''
Yu Long didn''t respond and sent the Miracle of Life straight to Zilong''s pocket space. ''Take it.'' He silently gazed at the moon.
''I learned it already.''
''Damn.'' Zilong couldn''t help but curse.
He knew Yu Long discovered Li Suo''s legacy by chance, but learning it from noon to now is a godly feat.
Even his daughter wasn''t this abnormal.
''Thanks.'' Even then, Zilong is still grateful for Yu Long''s help.
''It''s nothing.'' Yu Long returned while closing his eyes.
Zilong smiled at Yu Long and flew through thick clouds. With his pure speed alone, they could reach the Profound Sky Continent in a few minutes.
...
Heavenly Sword Vi.
"Two days almost passed since Young Master left." Hong Guan murmured while leaning against the wooden beam. She nced at the corner and saw Lily with Freya discussing something.
She shook her head gently and added, "My senses are telling me to prepare for a massive fight."
"Freya, just how powerful Duhan is?"
Freya put on a solemn look, "Thest time I met Duhan, he was at the peak of Divine Soul Realm. However, we cannot erase the possibility of him bing stronger."
"So, if I have to estimate it... Duhan might be at the early stage of the Divine Tribtion Realm."
"That is the third stage of the Divine Way." Hong Guan slowly rubbed her forehead. She wasn''t afraid to fight Duhan, but the fight might not be as smooth as she believed.
Hong Guan did a rough calction with her overall strength and mastery over profound arts. She''s not far from reaching level 21 or Merging Realm, where she could overwhelm reality with sheer power.
Meanwhile, Lily is still as carefree as ever.
She has profited from Heavenly Sword Vi''s destruction as the reaction from the Four Great Sacred Grounds was within her expectation. The release of Yun Canghai alerted them so much.
The Four Great Sacred Grounds have been searching for the Demon King for thest two days.
"We have already ordered the branch all over the Profound Sky Continent into a high alert, but isn''t this Duhan guy going straight to us because Freya is here?" She suddenly pointed out.
Freya was ashamed, "Sorry for troubling you..."
Lily waved her hand casually, "Don''t worry much, Freya. You''re one of us now."
"But we should have fortified the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range more."
"I''ve done it already." Hong Guan replied calmly.
"You did? So fast." Lily was puzzled.
Hong Guan nodded slightly and resumed, "When Young Master entered the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, I wrapped the mountain range in a defensive formation array."
Even Freya was speechless.
She knew about formation arrays before meeting Yu Long again, but the difficulty of mastering such a field is akin to swimming against the stream.
One must learn countless designated nodes, applications, and mixtures of array points. Yet Hong Guan did it without Lily and Freya noticing.
Hong Guan felt their gazes and didn''t say more about her little trick of putting down Array Formation. Everyone has a secret, and she''s no different.
"Please let me meet the Lost Heaven Sect''s young leader!" A wail suddenlyes from outside.
"Is that her?" Hong Guan nced at Lily.
Lily grumbled, "Yes. The Heavenly Sword Vi''s mistress, Xuanyuan Yufeng."
"Since Yu Long left, Xuanyuan Yufeng wanted to meet him."
"I''ve told her many methods to stop her from annoying us, including a little bit of violence, but she still crawled to our doorsteps."
"She''s desperate for what exactly." Freya''s eyes shone dimly. "I don''t think Master is close to her, no?"
Lily sighed, "That''s the point, Freya. Young Master wasn''t rted to her in any shape or form."
"Not necessarily..." Hong Guan suddenly interjected.
"From the look she gave to Young Master, she probably abore a few wild thoughts."
"Xuanyuan Yufeng''s rtionship with her husband is bad." Lily was ''slowly'' struck by a realization.
Thedies stared at each other, pitying Xuanyuan Yufeng.
Then, throat-choking pressure descended to the Heavenly Sword Mountain Region.
"Duhan is here." Freya''s expression turned incredibly solemn.
A massive ck portal appeared above the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range. Hooves stepped out, revealing a ghastly-looking steed with a headless knight adorned with shadowy me armor.
Weirdly, the knight has no head and blue me scorched from the base of its neck.
"FRAN, COME HERE AND FACE ME!" A furious yell spread, shocking every soul in the area. Even the surrounding area near the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range was affected by this terrifying shout.
Lily cursed in awe, "Damn, just how much did you steal from him?"
"He''s mad, MAD!"
"Well, I didn''t steal everything..." Freya lowered her head.
"J-Just 90%."
"..." Hong Guan.
"..." Lily.
Lily''s mouth twitched, "Sister, even I don''t know if I should be impressed or condemn you."
Hong Guan grabbed a strange-looking baton from her spatial ring and said, "Stop talking."
"We should face our enemy and de-escte the situation first."
"Let''s hope Duhan is as civil as Young Master told..."
After hearing Hong Guan''s words, Lily and Freya nodded. They soared to the sky and faced the Death Knight.
Duhan stared at three women with judging gaze, though he had no eyes. He focused on Freya and pointed his finger, "You, who are you?"
"Why did I feel Fran''s Essence Sphere from you?"
Freya smiled weakly, "Because I was Fran, Duhan."
"I''ve evolved after fusing with my dear Host, bing a new entity."
"Impossible!" Duhan growled. "With such a cracked Essence Sphere and injuries, you can''t live any longer... Even if you fused with your pitiful Host, your fate is ''ultimately'' sealed."
"I shan''t fall to ye trickery again!"
Freya shrugged, "Heaven decided to bless me."
"YOU FILTHY THIEF DARE TO USE THE NAME OF HEAVEN?!" Duhan bes even more furious.
"I will erase you from this world..."
"Death Knight, Duhan, will serve justice!"
Ance of concentrated dark energy appeared beside Duhan''s right gauntlet as he threw it to Freya.
SWOOOSH! BOOM!
The sheer power used to throw thence created a sonic boom.
Freya''s eyes widened briefly before returning to their original sizes upon seeing Hong Guan step up.
CLANK!
Hong Guan caught thence with her bare, fiery hand. She clenched her hand and crushed the darknce into ashes.
"Outsider, are you aware of your despicable action?" The death knight''s gaze fell on Hong Guan this time.
"This is between me and her..."
Hong Guan maintained a calm look and answered, "I received an order from my Young Master to protect her."
"Order..." Duhan''s mind shed for a second.
"A warrior always followed the lord''s order."
"You''re a noble subordinate."
He summoned a sword this time and pointed it toward Hong Guan, "State your name, female warrior!"
"I, Duhan, must know ye noble''s name."
"Hong Guan." Hong Guan responded aloofly. Her body released an intense heat that made the temperature rise rapidly.
