"Kaleidoscope?"

Heiyun, who was retreating, looked around. Countless eyes filled the sky, and the mirror folding within their gaze actually affected reality, folding space itself!

It was Seventh Master Shen!

Heiyun’s heart skipped a beat, a trace of excitement in his emotion. What he feared most was that Seventh Master Shen had already been taken out. If Seventh Master Shen was still around, together they could fight off Zi Yue, or at least have a chance to escape.

He knew very well, the formidable Thousand Eyes Technique, was in fact a Spatial Technique!

"Hmm... it really brings back memories," Zi Yue said, looking up into the sky, squinting his eyes, "When I first emerged from the caverns beneath Yun City, those old folks kept monitoring me with this thing, I couldn’t shake it off no matter how much I tried.

No matter how far I ran, those old immortals could always find me! "

"Mister Zi Yue speaks of... the past of the Sorcerer Dynasty?" Heiyun asked cautiously.

The Thousand Eyes Technique was found by the Shen Family in the ruins of the Sorcerer Dynasty. With the experience of Seventh Master Shen, it was impossible for him to monitor Zi Yue. The monitoring that Zi Yue mentioned could only have occurred to a former master of the Thousand Eyes Technique.

"Hmm... an unwelcome memory..." Zi Yue laughed, "So many years have passed and someone still knows this technique. Back then, when I learned about it, I wanted to wipe out the Shen Family right away to eliminate the problem. But I couldn’t, the King of Qin wouldn’t allow it."

"Today, Mister, you do have a chance, don’t you?" Heiyun eagerly incited.

He really wanted this troublesome fellow to pick a fight with Seventh Master Shen. It was more likely for him to escape alone than if the two struggled together.

Because he also knew that even if they joined forces, their chances of defeating Zi Yue were less than thirty percent!

"I can’t do it..." Zi Yue shook his head, looking increasingly exhausted, "Do you think a sorcery that can imitate the Azure Dragon Barrier doesn’t drain energy? Right now, I can barely use another technique before I fall into deep sleep, and I won’t be able to hold onto Shen Qi, so I can only try to keep you. .."

Heiyun: "...."

How little did he regard him?

Just one technique?

Did he really think he was so easily defeated?

Taking a deep breath and wearing a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, Heiyun said, "Mister Zi Yue isn’t worried that if you use your one technique on me, then Seventh Master Shen will run away? I believe I’m not as useful as Shen Qi, am I?"

"He won’t get away..." Zi Yue shook his head.

So there was still an ambush!

In an instant, Heiyun guessed the situation. Zi Yue only had one technique left. Although the Thousand-Faced Fox was formidable, it probably couldn’t control Seventh Master Shen. If it could, it would have made that creature stand in front of them from the beginning, so why separate them?

The Thousand-Faced Fox absorbed the Crown Prince’s essence, yet gave birth to a little fox with the Golden Crow Bloodline. If Heiyun guessed correctly, its fortune had greatly diminished. Now, it would struggle to alter the memory of someone ranked as a First Rank.

So these two must still have another powerful ally!

With this thought, Heiyun stopped the idle talk. His body surged with black fog, and his Technique erupted in an instant!

He didn’t know who that strong ally was, nor did he want to know. As long as he forced out Zi Yue’s last bit of power, he would have a chance to escape. And if it went even better, he could take Zi Yue to Yundu, where maybe the Zhang Family would protect him. It wasn’t a bad option either!

"Hmm... the Wuji Technique..." Zi Yue remained calm, "Many people think Heiyun is a Poison Sorcerer, but few know, aside from that substitute Straw Man, the Technique Heiyun inherits also comes from the past Technique Dynasty, a branch of the Zhang Family’s Thunder Technique!"

Heiyun’s pupils contracted. This man had truly concealed his depths well. With decades of cooperation, he had never noticed the extent of the other’s remarkable vision. His technique was one that even today’s head of the Zhang Family, Heavenly Master Zhang, might not recognize at a glance!

"You need not be surprised... cough cough..." As Zi Yue coughed, he slowly approached, "There are some benefits to living a long life. I recognize it simply because I have seen it before..."

"Then I’m eager to learn!" Seeing Zi Yue had walked within three zhang, Heiyun could not wait any longer. The black fog, like liquid, suddenly blanketed everything, as if it was an endless surge of sewage, yet it carried the terrifying Ultimate Yin Thunder!

While the True Five Thunder Technique of the Zhang Family was far more powerful, the Yin Thunder Technique had its advantages.

It was soft and unpredictable, ever-changing like water without form.

At close range, even a First Rank Warrior could hardly avoid it.

And once a drop of this substance stuck to you, like a flesh-burrowing maggot, you could carve away flesh and bone but not remove it.

It would continually numb your entire body, and more than that, the Yin Thunder that latched onto you would suck in the surrounding Yin Thunder like a magnet, and you couldn’t even run away!

"Ah..."

Faced with a black liquid sky, Zi Yue, who knew how awful it was, sighed.

"You really are lucky, to inherit such a precious Technique in a mere mortal’s body, a low-born commoner..."

"But it’s a pity, a low-born commoner is just that, and no matter how good the treasure in your hands, it’s a waste!"

As the words fell, Zi Yue had already walked up to Heiyun, causing his entire body to stiffen.

Three zhang away, Zi Yue was still in his original place, surrounded by Yin Thunder, yet the one in front of him was just as real, a hand was already touching his chest...

"Illusion Technique?"

Heiyun, terrified to move a muscle, swallowed and asked.

"Who needs illusions now?" Zi Yue said indifferently, "But to deal with you, I don’t need them. I just need to be a little faster."

With those words, his slender, fair hand plunged directly into Heiyun’s chest cavity, pressing into it like soft mud!

"This technique of yours... the key point is that you haven’t figured it out over the years.

.." Zi Yue looked at the rigid Heiyun with a helpless expression, "It must be fast, first of all. With the slow way you do it, even if it sticks to people, it’s useless no matter how powerful the effect! The speed at which you’ve been training can only deal with small fry. .."

Heiyun: "...."

"Hmm... I can’t kill you..." After opening a large hole in the opponent’s chest, Zi Yue instantly sealed it with ice using a technique, "This near-death state is quite good, so you don’t have to go back to that hellish place.

But I guess you wouldn’t want to go back anyway, right? It’s probably already been targeted..."

"You... how much exactly do you know?" Heiyun felt his strength rapidly fading, his entire body so cold he was about to lose consciousness, and he couldn’t help but ask his final question in frustration!

"I know more than you can imagine..." Zi Yue said with a bitter smile, "But I would rather not know too much, because the more you know, the more clearly you see... how despair-inducing this world is!"

----------------------------------

Zi Yue... still no intention of showing up?

Shen Qi watched his surroundings warily...

The Kaleidoscope was his strongest trump card, and even when Old Ancestor Shen was still around, if he had used this technique, it would have been impossible not to be moved by it...

But just relying on the Thousand-Faced Fox in front of him wasn’t enough to keep him there!

Shen Qi was certain of that, the Thousand-Faced Fox couldn’t alter his memory, she wasn’t at that level yet, unless she had absorbed the Emperor’s essence!

It had to rely on Zi Yue, or... perhaps...

A name surfaced in his mind, and Shen Qi’s expression darkened as he suddenly looked fiercely towards a spot. In an instant, space itself folded open at that spot, and a figure unbelievably swiftly found a crack in the folding space and squeezed through!

"Ah... Isn’t it a bit harsh to lay a hand on your sister-in-law like this?"

The frivolous voice was still so familiar, the fiery dressing even at night was eye-catching, but it made Shen Qi’s face turn extremely ugly.

"I knew it..."

There were many suspects for the last Ancient Worm, the luckiest guess was that it, like Fifth Master Shen, had found an opportunity to slip away, and the worst guess was what was happening right now.

The suspicion on Murong Yunji was actually not great!

Because from the beginning to the end, she showed no intention of establishing a power base. Even staying by Chen Qing’s side, she behaved like a carefree individual, which seemed too leisurely compared to the other Ancient Worm factions, which were growing in power.

But Seventh Master Shen was always someone who liked to think counterintuitively. He agreed with a saying from Chen Qing, that everything in the world has two sides, pros and cons. Not being able to establish a power base must mean other advantages, such as... being less noticeable!

Indeed, it was so, even someone as delicate and sensitive as Chen Qing almost never suspected Murong Yunji, including himself.

"You know?" Murong Yunji stood on a high spot, leaning slightly forward, her enticing body leaning forward provocatively, giving off a tantalizing vibe, "Did you ever suspect your sister-in-law?"

"I never suspected before..." Shen Qi sighed and shook his head, "Before I came here, I had a slight thought in that regard.

Chen Ying asked me to find you in seclusion to join us in going to Daqing Mountain.

I thought to myself then, if Sister-in-law you had an issue, this would be the best chance to strike.

But it was just a thought. If I had suspicions, I would have been on guard then.

It just shows... Sister-in-law, you hid yourself too well! "

Murong Yunji immediately laughed so hard that her branches trembled, and the beauty of her waist shaking was mesmerizing.

But Shen Qi was not in the mood at all.

At this distance, even he would stand no chance against Murong Yunji!!

Ever since he didn’t consider this woman as an inside aid, he was already losing.

"I really want to know, what exactly do you... want to do?"

"Sorry..."

There was a loud bang, and Shen Qi didn’t even have time to react before the world in his vision was turned upside down.

Murong Yunji looked at Shen Qi’s head in her hand and said, "Your techniques are troublesome, I can’t let you have the chance to inform Chen Qing..."

"Is that so?" Shen Qi closed his eyes, guessing what they would do next.

Sure enough, in the next second, a slender and handsome man appeared before him.

He recognized this thing; it was the Shadow Eater that Chen Qing had always been concerned about, and he didn’t expect it to be used in such a way...

"Make sure it looks convincing. If there is a slightest mishap, you know the consequences!" Murong Yunji watched coldly as the handsome man nodded joyfully and then walked up to Shen Qi’s soul, biting into it!!
