Chapter 744: Missing

One Ou Yangming made his decision, the Wutong Tree no longer stopped him.

It could give the young fellow its suggestion, but it would not stop him after he made his decision.

Needless to say, it would also make good preparations for Ou Yangming before he left.

The ruined Substitution Waist Sash was refined by Ou Yangming again. Moreover, the Wutong Tree also provided him with about 100 rattans, which were refined from the shedded pieces from its self-aging trunk through several 10,000 years. It was worth noting that each rattan could be used to refine a Substitution Wash Sash.

In other words, if Ou Yangming refined all of the rattans, even if he encountered a Venerable One, as long as he was not killed by a single hit, he could recover all of his injuries with the rattans 100 times. Of course, this was also because the rattans came from the Wutong Tree. If it had not cultivated hard for several 10,000 years, this would not be possible.

Ou Yangming would not refine all of the rattans in one go but for safety purposes, he refined roughly 10 of them as backups before he left the secret realm quietly.

When he was back at the secret realm’s entrance, the Wutong Tree told him after some thought, “Master, once you find a safer place, I can shut the entrance and reopen it whenever you order me to.”

The young fellow was slightly stunned. “Didn’t you say that plenty of energy is needed to open and close the secret realm’s entrance, which is why it can’t be shifted for a century once it’s fixed?”

A root beside him swayed and answered, “Consuming a bit of energy isn’t much if it’s for your safety, Master.”

The Wutong Tree’s origin energy has to be used to close and activate the secret realm’s entrance. Every change would require a certain consumption, which was difficult to bear for even ordinary Venerable Ones. Nonetheless, the Wutong Tree had such a profound foundation. Although a short burst from it would not be significantly powerful, in terms of endurance, even the formidable Feng Xiang was not much inferior to it.

To keep Ou Yangming safe, the Wutong Tree would not mind using up its energy 10 or 100 times, let alone once.

Ou Yangming’s eyes flickered, and he said, “If that’s the case, let’s change it now.”

He had made a lot of preparations, where he was confident about escaping into the secret realm again if Blood Shadow was still lying in ambush outside. Even so, would it not be better if he did not need to take any risk?

The Wutong Tree’s root shook and responded, “Master, if you’re not guiding me from the outside, even if I were to randomly reactivate the realm’s entrance, I wouldn’t know where I am.”

Ou Yangming’s face changed. “Are you saying that you might not be in Danzhou?”

The tree’s root quickly shook as though it was saying no like a human.

Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief. “As long as you’re in Danzhou.”

Danzhou was boundless, but Ou Yangming was a man with a flying carpet. Furthermore, he was assisted by the Devouring attribute. As such, he could keep controlling his flying carpet to return to the Beast King Sect.

Who knew, the Wutong Tree finally spoke, “Master, I’m saying that the realm’s not necessarily going to be in the Spiritual Realm.”

Ou Yangming was dumbfounded for some time, then he scoffed and dropped the idea. If the secret realm’s entrance was shifted to an unknown place, even he would not know how he could return to the Spiritual Realm.

After packing up everything, Ou Yangming flashed and enhanced his energy, essence, and spirit to their best states before he stepped out of the secret realm.

The second the young fellow returned to the Spiritual Realm, his great mental conception instantly drifted and spread to cover the areas around him. No matter what was hiding around him at the moment, they would not be able to hide from his spiritual sense.

Of course, Ou Yangming would not blindly believe that his mental conception could pry everything.

He could also hide himself with Fat Antelope’s cloak, hence a mysterious and mighty figure like Blood Shadow could naturally do the same.

Ou Yangming scanned his surroundings with sharp eyes, but he did not spot anything dangerous or suspicious no matter what. Additionally, even the Military Fire in his sea of consciousness was calm and not jumpy.

The young fellow could not believe his eyes and spiritual sense, but he had confidence in his Military Fire, which could predict danger.

He sighed a breath of relief and turned around to gesture to the secret realm’s entrance that he was safe. Following that, he lowered his body and flew away.

Throughout the process, the young fellow almost did not pause at all. He went all-out when he was flying, and he even made several turns along the way, causing him to be unsure of the direction he was heading in.

Ou Yangming finally stopped after flying around for a few hours.

He believed that even a Venerable One could not stay out of his Military Fire’s radar for so long.

If Blood Shadow was so capable, Ou Yangming would admit defeat even if he was ambushed by it for the second time.

After Ou Yangming identified the direction, he retrieved his flying carpet and channeled his mental power. With that, the carpet carried him up into the sky and flew swiftly toward the Beast King Sect.

A Venerable One could soar in the sky but apart from bird Venerable Ones that were born with the flying ability, Venerable Ones from other races would not be able to fly too fast. In general, they would be slightly slower than pieces of flight equipment.

Besides, in terms of long flights, pieces of flight equipment were more advantageous than birds.

If not, if pieces of flight equipment were only for show, not many people would fight for them crazily.

As Ou Yangming stood proudly on his flight equipment, he dared not relax at all. It was not his first time controlling a flying carpet, but a short flight was very different from a long flight. Fortunately, the young fellow had refined this flying carpet himself, thus nobody knew it better than he did. Therefore, he was confident about flying for a long time, but his only worry was Blood Shadow, whose whereabouts were unknown.

He did not know that just as he maneuvered his flying carpet into the air and went far away, a red blood light emerged from deep inside the ground.

Sure enough, Blood Shadow’s hiding ability was unordinary, so much so that the Wutong Tree did not sense it at all. Nevertheless, instead of pursuing Ou Yangming, the red figure simply watched him leave.

It had used plenty of its origin power during its previous attempt to kill the young fellow.

According to Blood Shadow’s estimation, even if it had to consume its power, as long as it subdued Ou Yangming and devoured him with Sir Devil God’s energy, it could compensate for its loss.

Who knew, the Devil God’s power appeared on Ou Yangming, and it was of a much higher rank than that of Blood Shadow, which was a devout follower. It ended up suffering a loss instead when a lot of its origin power was absorbed by the head on the young fellow.

Not to mention that Blood Shadow’s vitality was already sapped at that time, even if it was at its peak, it was also frightened by the ferocious head.

It dared not scheme anything against Ou Yangming anymore, so it hid in the dark. As it watched the young fellow go far away, it had a complicated look with a hint of fear in its eyes.

‘I should avoid offending this Phoenixes’ messenger in the future.’

※※※※

As Ou Yangming flew in the sky, his flying carpet naturally released forceful auras, causing flying creatures to stay away.

Even when some overbearing spirit birds saw the flying carpet, they dared not go forward to disturb it.

Spirit birds could fly, but they knew very well how valuable flying carpets were. They were aware that any human that possessed a flying carpet was a top-notch powerhouse, which could not be offended by them at all.

Despite it being a universal basis, they did not know that today was an exception. If an ignorant high-rank spirit bird were to seek trouble with Ou Yangming, he would not be appalled, but he would feel troubled.

By relying on the flying carpet’s deterrence and speed, Ou Yangming had a smooth journey and finally returned to the Beast King Sect.

The young fellow curled his lips into a smile when he saw the familiar mountains from afar. Before he knew it, he had acknowledged the Beast King Sect. Perhaps he had regarded the sect as his first home in the Spiritual Realm after the series of unforeseen changes.

Once the flying carpet entered the Beast King Sect, it immediately caught everyone’s attention.

After the Insects’ armies retreated, the Beast King Sect’s disciples and ordinary people that depended on the sect had returned to their homes. When they looked up at the sky at the moment, they saw the floating flying carpet in the sky.

The flying carpet was not as enormous as Mount Wuzhi’s flight equipment, which was the Magic Cloud, and it could not fly as high, so the people below could see it clearly.

A melodious and rhythmic bell echoed in the ravines. Soon enough, another flying carpet emerged from the Beast King Sect’s mountain range too.

The 2 people on their respective flying carpets identified each other from afar.

Ou Yangming finally sighed a breath of relief. At this point, if Blood Shadow still wanted to sneak an attack against him, it might not be able to escape from the Beast King Sect.

“Great Elder, long time no see.” Ou Yangming cupped his hands and laughed.

The person that came was Mao Jianbi, who was one of the great elders and had obtained a flying carpet from Ou Yangming.

As long as one was a top-grade Spiritualist in the sect, one would be given the honorific of a great elder.

In actuality, Mao Jianbi was not the only great elder. When the Insects attacked the sect, at least 3 top-grade Spiritualists from the sect had joined the fight.

Having said that, Mao Jianbi, who had just gotten a flying carpet, was the only great elder that was willing to show up outside.

“Haha, Master Ou, you’re finally back.” Mao Jianbi laughed out loud.

Back then, he could still capitalize on his seniority but after Feng Xiang appeared, he dared not treat Ou Yangming like how he used to.

As their flying carpets moved closer toward each other, Mao Jianbi looked enviously at Ou Yangming’s carpet. “Master Ou, turns out that you kept the real good for your own.”

“Of course, I had to keep the first-class equipment for myself.” Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He paused for a while before he added, “Great Elder, if you can provide me with superb materials or treasures, I don’t mind refining a better flying carpet for you.”
