Chapter 1807: Chapter 401:
Cao Zhen was greatly alarmed in his heart. With a single thought, the clone he had just formed suddenly shattered, and waves of power surged into his body.
The collapse of the clone, if it were nearby, would allow recovery of some strength. But if it’s far away, that power would fully dissipate.
He dared not delay, swiftly flying to a distant forest, then landed on the ground and started running quickly.
Just as the Chaos Qi was taken away, the people within the River of All Realms, who had been unable to sense their own immortal and demonic Qi, suddenly paused. The immortal and demonic Qi in their bodies began to surge once again.
"It’s restored! I can use my immortal Qi again!"
"The rainbow in the void has disappeared, which means that the Chaos Qi has also vanished!"
"As expected, we couldn’t utilize our immortal and demonic Qi because of the Chaos Qi!"
"The Chaos Qi has been taken away by someone!"
"Go, quickly go after them! The Chaos Qi, that person just took the Chaos Qi, it hasn’t been long, the person must be nearby!"
In the void, the Demonic Lord Qing Shi, who was rushing back, looked at the suddenly disappearing rainbow in the void and was nearly driven mad in that instant.
"The Chaos Qi has been taken away by someone! How is it possible, how could anyone take the Chaos Qi? The Chaos Qi, for some reason, was in a dormant state. It’s necessary to sacrifice a person who has the Chaos Qi to awaken it! Then another person with the Chaos Qi can take it.
The first person to awaken the Chaos Qi would inevitably be drained of all their strength by the Chaos Qi, and perish. Why could he take the Chaos Qi?
However, I had already checked multiple times and confirmed that apart from myself, only one person with Chaos Qi had entered this place, how could he take the Chaos Qi!"
The heart of the Demonic Lord Qing Shi was filled with confusion and doubt. She even removed the mask from her face and sped towards the distance.
Cao Zhen dared not continue to rely on running. Running on the mountain, who knows if there are others nearby? If there are other cultivators nearby, they can instantly fly over, and if they see someone here, without thinking, they would certainly strike immediately.
Thus, he chose to quickly fly to another mountain, and then use running.
But even after flying such a short distance, he was still noticed by others.
"Over there, someone is flying!"
"He flew away from the mountain directly below where the rainbow disappeared!"
"That person must be the one who took the Chaos Qi, chase them!"
"He’s on that mountain, don’t let him escape!"
Two groups of people simultaneously noticed the flying figure and rushed towards the mountain peak where the figure landed.
Cao Zhen had just landed, ran into the forest, and soon spotted numerous figures rushing in.
"Unlucky, I’ve been seen, and by so many! These are people from the Firmament Sect and the Darkish Demonic Sect. It’s a pity that when the Grand Righteous Sect and the Demonic Sect meet now, they won’t even fight."
In the void, people from the two great sects exchanged glances without a thought of engaging. Instead, they even started cooperating.
"Everyone, from our two great teachings, leave one person each in the void. This way, if the opponent takes to the air, we can immediately see them.
The rest of us will go into the mountain to find him. Whoever finds the opponent first relies on their own ability."
"Agreed! Let’s do it that way!"
In an instant, both parties reached an agreement, leaving two people in the void, while the rest descended into the mountain to start searching.
Although the mountain is large, they have people watching from above. As long as someone leaves from here and flies into the sky, they will inevitably be spotted.
So they will find the opponent sooner or later. The question is how soon they can find him.
It’s not just them flying over, they are just the closest and the first to arrive. If others fly over and see them searching here, they will inevitably guess that the person who took the Chaos Qi is hiding here. Then, if everyone vies for it, it will be uncertain who the Chaos Qi will ultimately belong to.
They must quickly find the opponent.
The leader of the Darkish Demonic Sect, speaking to the three junior brothers beside him, said in a low voice: "Separate, everyone split up and look. Once you find the opponent, report immediately."
Even though among the remaining three junior brothers, two are only in the Indestructible Period, to find the opponent quickly, there’s no other way but to split up.
Similarly, those from the Firmament Sect also scattered to search downwards, and they wouldn’t even skip checking the caves, going inside to examine them as well.
Cao Zhen watched as the crowd spread out and quickly hid inside a cave. This cave didn’t seem small. His only hope now was that the opponents wouldn’t find this cave immediately, and then more people would enter the mountain to search, thus causing chaos.
By then, with more people, no one would notice.
No one has seen his current face yet. When the time comes, he could easily change his identity and just slip away.
Cao Zhen looked outside the cave quickly, holding his breath and restraining his aura.
Just randomly searching, he found a cave. There should be many caves on this mountain. Even if the opponent checks each one individually, it will take time to find this one. Moreover, even if they do check the caves, they likely won’t probe too deeply, probably just sensing the aura and leaving.
