Martial God Asura

Chapter 5999: According to Plan

“If the boy isn’t a mutation, and their race originally possesses such power, things might get dangerous for us. The Ancient Era’s races view us, present-era cultivators, with hostility. We might save them today, but there’s no guarantee they won’t turn around and threaten us in the future,” Huahua voiced her worry. 

“We’ll talk about that when the time comes. Since we have decided to work together, we should at least fulfill our promise,” Chu Feng said.

“Mm.” Huahua nodded.

Soon, Xia Xingchen returned with the boy.

“Our little friend is right. The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect is planning to kill his brethren, but they are going to do it by refining them. They probably think that his brethren have special energy in them, so they want to see if they can squeeze out one last bit of value from them.

“They are already preparing the refinement formation, and it should be ready by tomorrow morning. This is our final chance to save his brethren,” Xia Xingchen said. 

“Can we erase all of their imprints within such a short time?” Huahua turned to Chu Feng.

The imprints on the boy’s brethren were not easy to remove. She knew that she couldn’t pull it off with her ability, so she wondered if Chu Feng had an idea in mind. 

“It won’t be easy to remove those imprints; they are linked to their bloodlines. However it should be enough if we follow our original plan,” Chu Feng said.

Huahua did as Chu Feng asked and constructed all of the formations in advance. Meanwhile, the boy rallied his brethren together. 

Everything proceeded smoothly. 

Xia Xingchen activated Huahua’s formations. A powerful surge of teleportation energy enveloped the countless members of the Ancient Era’s race. They were transported into a formation realm that existed as a sphere in her hand. 

Such a huge commotion was bound to catch the attention of the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s notice. Detection formations were immediately activated, and it didn’t take them long to locate Xia Xingchen even though she was in concealment. 

At this point, Xia Xingchen was already flitting out of the underground world.

Qin Hanwu, one of the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s Ten Immortal Exalteds, chased after her, roaring, “Who dares intrude on our Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s territory?”

Xia Xingchen had two Ancient Era’s talismans with her.

One was plastered on her back, and it enhanced her traveling speed. It allowed her to rival Qin Hanwu’s traveling speed even though the latter had already reached pinnacle True God level. 

She held the other talisman tightly in her hand, together with an hourglass. This hourglass had been flowing ever since she transferred the members of the Ancient Era’s race into the sphere’s formation realm. 

“You’re from the Ancient Era? Which race are you from? Is there any grudge between you and our Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect?” 

Even though Qin Hanwu was pursuing Xia Xingchen, he refrained from launching any attacks. There were two reasons behind that. 

One, Xia Xingchen was traveling so fast that his attacks might not necessarily reach her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Two, he was afraid.

He didn’t know that Xia Xingchen was the intruder, as the latter had disguised herself. Instead, he thought that the intruder might be from the Ancient Era given that she had chosen to rescue the members of this Ancient Era’s race. 

He also deduced that she might be from a fairly powerful Ancient Era’s race since she was able to travel at a speed on par with his. 

Qin Hanwu didn’t want to turn a powerful Ancient Era’s race against the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect, so he tried to negotiate instead of launching an attack. 

However, Xia Xingchen paid him no heed and continued escaping while eyeing the hourglass. She only breathed a sigh of relief when the sand in the hourglass finally stopped flowing. 

In contrast, Qin Hanwu was bewildered.

“What are you doing? What’s your goal?” 

Qin Hanwu had long noticed that the intruder was going in circles in this realm. Something was amiss. If she wanted to escape, she should have dashed out of this realm. 

She must be up to something else. 

However, Xia Xingchen didn’t reply. She was buying time. 

A while later, Qin Hanwu noticed a change in the intruder. Her speed had started to slow, though it was not enough for him to catch up with her yet. At the same time, the aura shrouding her began weakening too. 

“I see. You were only able to achieve your earlier speed with the help of a treasure. Give up now, and we can still talk things out. You won’t be able to get away. Those people have been imprinted. I can find you no matter where you escape to, not to mention you’re in a sticky spot yourself,” Qin Hanwu said.

“Is that so?”

At this point, Xia Xingchen, who was still escaping, turned her head around and revealed her true face. 

“Xia Xingchen?” Qin Hanwu was taken aback.

The Xia Xingchen he knew was a rank three True God level cultivator. Even if aided by a treasure, she shouldn’t have been able to match his speed. He couldn’t imagine how she could have grown so much within such a short time. 

“Qin Hanwu, I’m surprised you’re capable of courtesy. Why? Did you get intimidated because you thought that I was from the Ancient Era, so you dare not offend me? I guess you’re also the type that cowers before the strong,” Xia Xingchen sneered.

“Traitor, what’s with your cultivation? What are you scheming by rescuing the Ancient Era’s race?” Qin Hanwu questioned as he unleashed a powerful burst of martial power toward Xia Xinghcen. 

He was planning to kill Xia Xingchen, judging from the intensity of his attack!

However, Xia Xingchen was still moving at an impressive speed despite her gradual slowdown, so his attack was unable to reach her. 

“Trying to kill me as soon as you realize it’s me? You’re indeed a coward. Qin Hanwu, tell your sectmaster to send more people after me, or else it’s only a matter of time before I return to the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect and take the lives of you disgusting hypocrites!”

With that, Xia Xingchen crushed the talisman in her hand. A surge of teleportation energy enveloped her, and she disappeared into thin air.

“Hmph! Do you think you can get away?”

Qin Hanwu took out a compass to trace the Ancient Era’s race via the imprints. Seconds later, he widened his eyes in disbelief.

To his shock, even though the imprints were still intact, he was unable to pinpoint their locations. This was because the Ancient Era’s race was too far away. In other words, they had already left this realm!
