Chapter 1053: Uneasy
Even though he showed off his amazing skill by infiltrating the Spirit Luxuriant World undetected, and escaped from the combined might of 7 True Immortals, he definitely suffered a massive setback. The injuries he suffered were heavy and his domain was completely shattered.
“Hehe… So what if he’s a fourth tier True Immortal? If he wasn’t going to escape with everything he had, he would have died in our hands! It’s a shame True Immortal Kou and True Immortal Huang aren’t here. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to leave!” Lu Wuzi snorted. He sounded really annoyed that the other party managed to escape.
However, his words didn’t shift the attention from the other True Immortals.
Yang Taihe turned to Shang Xia and asked, “True Immortal Little Shang, do you know who that was?”
Shang Xia cupped his fists towards Yang Taihe to thank him for the assistance before replying, “Unfortunately, I do not. He managed to infiltrate our world silently and he was even able to enter the Tongyou Elysium without me noticing him! If not for the fact that I decided to inspect the Elysium on a whim, I might not have noticed his presence!”
Shang Xia barely spoke when everyone revealed looks of shock and disbelief.
A moment later, Lu Wuzi gasped, “What?! He actually infiltrated the Tongyou Elysium?! You didn’t even feel it either… Wait, you… You’re a second tier True Immoral?!”
Lu Wuzi was unwilling to let the foreign expert leave, but when he noticed Shang Xia’s cultivation level, he was truly shocked by the speed at which Shang Xia was advancing. He realized that even a second tier True Immortal failed to detect the presence of the intruder!He turned his attention back to the problem at hand.
Lu Wuzi wasn’t the only one. The other True Immortals also stared at each other with grave expressions.
All of them personally witnessed Shang Xia’s abilities and how strong he actually was. Now that he reached the second tier, it was only going to become stronger.
One could even say that among those present, other than Yang Taihe who could be absolutely certain they could suppress Shang Xia, no one would be his opponent! Even the missing Kou Chongxue was no exception!
However, even someone like him was unable to detect the other party’s presence!
That would mean that it was also possible for the foreign expert to infiltrate other Elysiums in the future…
Everyone felt a sense of crisis after Shang Xia revealed what happened.
However, Yang Taihe discovered something and he asked softly, “True Immortal Little Shang, do you know the reason he infiltrated your Tongyou Elysium?”
Shang Xia shook his head slowly. “I alerted the person when I entered my Elysium. I was afraid the battle would damage the Elysium and I had to let him escape. Everything happened next… I haven’t been able to inspect the Elysium for anything we lost…”
Yang Taihe nodded slightly before adding, “True Immortal Little Shang, do you think he managed to infiltrate your Elysium because there was no Elysium True Immortal?”
Shang Xia didn’t respond immediately. He thought of that exact point, but he didn’t know if the other party had the guts to infiltrate them as they didn’t have an Elysium True Immortal or if there was another reason.
Could it be because of both?
Shang Xia had an impulse to return to check everything carefully, but he knew that since the intruder had already escaped, it wouldn’t matter if he discovered anything missing. He wouldn’t be able to get it back anyway.
Seeing how Shang Xia remained silent, the other True Immortals revealed a look of realization.
The number of Elysium True Immortals present was a lot more than those who weren’t shackled to an Elysium. They understood the difference between their presence and not having an Elysium True Immortal.
If the Tongyou Elysium truly had an Elysium True Immortal, even if he was far away, he would be able to detect any changes the moment anyone infiltrated.
Unfortunately, the 2 True Immortals taking charge of the Tongyou Elysium weren’t Elysium True Immortals. They might possess tyrannical strength, but they couldn’t feel everything that was happening within.
With the sudden rise of the Tongyou Institution, their foundations were still lacking even though they had an extremely high level of individual strength. They only had a single rank five protection formation around their city but that was it.
If Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue weren’t present, if anyone could avoid the protection formation, it would really be possible to hide in the Tongyou Elysium without anyone noticing.
The more they thought about it, the happier they felt. They were truly taking joy in the Tongyou Institution’s misfortune.
Yang Taihe seemed to notice the strange atmosphere around them and he couldn’t help but add, “No matter what, we cannot be careless. Everyone, don’t forget that in order to infiltrate the Tongyou Institution, the intruder will need to pass through the heavenly screen. Even I failed to detect his presence.”
The True Immortals present were peak-tier existences in the Spirit Luxuriant World and their respective factions. Their insight wasn\'t bad.
Even if they were unable to enter their Elysiums silently, what would happen if they infiltrated the Spirit Luxuriant World without any warning and started causing widespread damage? The True Immortals would be unable to deal with an invasion outside the heavenly screen while worrying about foreign experts wreaking havoc in their world at the same time.
“Our rank six formation that covers the world is about to be complete. Even if it doesn’t possess powerful defensive abilities, it should at least be extremely sensitive to detect any foreign invaders. We cannot allow experts from other worlds to hide in our world undetected.” Zhang Xuansheng mumbled. His voice was cold but he spoke with certain authority.
None of the True Immortals had any other opinions.
Eventually, Li Jidao continued, “What I’m more curious about is the identity of the fourth tier True Immortal. He suffered such a huge loss in our hands and still managed to escape. He will definitely try to take his revenge. Like they say… Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated. We don’t know anything about them…”
Liu Jingsheng shook his head in response. “That person definitely wasn’t from the Spirit Abundance World. They shouldn’t be from the Spirit Tinkle World, or the Azure Sea and Azure Qing Worlds…”
Those were the worlds that joined forces back then to attack the Spirit Luxuriant World when they were returning with their spoils of war from the Azure Flame World.
Yang Taihe sank into contemplation before he muttered, “They don’t seem to be from the Spirit Mammoth or Spirit Thistle Worlds either…”
Every expert had a unique aura. They would also possess the aura of their world. It wasn’t difficult for experts at their level to feel the aura of the distinct worlds.
Earlier, the fourth tier Martial Void Realm True Immortal suffered heavy injuries and escaped. His aura was completely exposed. It didn’t belong to any of the worlds they were familiar with!
All of a sudden, Zhang Jianzi, who had remained silent the entire time, muttered, “It’s not really possible for a fourth tier True Immortal to come from an Azure World. If they’re not from the Spirit Abundance, Spirit Mammoth, Spirit Tinkle, and Spirit Thistle Worlds… There are only 2 possibilities left. They are either from a Superior World or someone from the Star Origin Guards!”
Everyone present stared at him in shock. Profound light flashed in their eyes when they looked at Zhang Jianzi. Zhang Xuansheng was the only one who nodded slowly as his frosty expression thawed slightly to reveal a satisfied look.
Shang Xia pondered out loud, “So it doesn’t matter if they’re from a Superior World or the Star Origin City. Someone from the Star Origin Guards… Specifically, Zhuge Xiang should know who they are.”
As the land that connected the various worlds, the Star Origin City was the only place that was directly connected to a Superior World. Zhuge Xiang was also a fourth tier True Immortal. If the intruder came from a Superior World, there was no way they would be able to avoid being detected by Zhuge Xiang when they descended.
The only question was… Should the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World heard over to the Star Origin City to ask Zhuge Xiang about the identity of the intruder? Would he even be willing to reveal such information?
Everyone fell silent and sank into deep contemplation.
Yang Taihe swept his gaze across those present and spoke slowly, “We caused such a huge ruckus here and we won’t be able to hide it from the others.”
Since the spies sent by the other worlds would have already learned of the news, there was no need to lie to themselves and act as though nothing happened. They might as well go digging for the identity of the intruder.
