Chapter 2153: Flee for Your Life!
Three days later.Somewhere on the third level of Black Soul Abyss.
A woman in a silver-gray robe was sitting cross-legged in a grand hall.
The entire hall was empty except for this woman, making it appear extremely eerie.
At this moment, a green light shot in.
Soon after, the snake-headed creature appeared in the hall.
This creature was the same one who had fought with Zhou Yu before.
Upon arriving, he immediately knelt before the woman.
"Madam!"
The woman slowly lifted her head and saw the creature returning empty-handed.
"What’s happened?"
"Where is the young Peng Clan member I told you to capture?"
The creature replied in a deep voice:
"Madam, that young Peng Clan member was extremely strange and his strength was quite formidable. I failed to defeat him."
"Please punish me, Madam."
However, the woman did not yet punish him but instead showed a sinister expression.
"Indeed, that old ghost has ulterior motives."
"Tell me more about this boy."
The creature then narrated the entire battle with Zhou Yu in detail.
After listening, the woman’s eyes revealed a look of disbelief and suspicion.
"A powerful physique, Dharma Divine Power, and even Primordial Ancient Treasure?"
"This doesn’t sound like a member of the Peng Clan."
These words stunned the creature.
He had initially assumed Zhou Yu belonged to the Peng Clan, so he never doubted it before.
Upon hearing the woman’s words, he immediately realized something was amiss.
Zhou Yu seemed never to have used any Peng Clan Divine Skills.
At this moment, the woman spoke:
"But none of that matters now."
"I finally understand why that old ghost wants this person."
"According to your description, this boy could withstand your Poison Shadow Needle with his physique, and even Earth Evil Yin Thunder couldn’t harm him."
"This means that both his physique and soul are top-tier."
"I need such a physique to craft a Puppet."
Upon hearing this, the creature was instantly stunned.
"Madam, do you mean you want to intervene personally?"
The woman nodded.
The creature hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Madam, this person is wanted by the old ghost. If we take him, won’t it offend the old ghost?"
"After all, we shouldn’t be fighting among ourselves right now."
The woman waved her hand.
"No problem."
"I only want his Nascent Soul, which doesn’t conflict with them."
"Thus, there is no problem at all."
The creature immediately laughed.
"Madam, shall we set out now?"
"Mm."
"Lead the way."
With these words, the creature led the Madam, and their figures suddenly vanished.
...
On the other side.
Zhou Yu and his group of four swiftly flew back after leaving the canyon.
Having cleared most of the creatures on their way there,
the journey back was extremely smooth, with almost no obstacles.
Seeing that everything was safe, Bai Shuang and the others considered resting to recover some Primordial Power before setting off again.
However, Zhou Yu directly handed them some Pill Medicine, telling them to recover while on the move.
Seeing Zhou Yu so eager, the three felt puzzled but did not question further.
After two more days, their group found the passage to the first level they initially descended from and returned through it.
Yet, just upon reaching the first level, Zhou Yu suddenly stopped.
Bai Shuang was taken aback.
"Mr. Zhou, what’s wrong?"
Zhou Yu furrowed his brows as if sensing something ominous.
His expression fluctuated, and after a moment, he suddenly said to the three:
"No, we need to split up."
"This level should be safe now. You should split into three groups, each finding a safe path to wait near the exit."
Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s words, the three were dumbfounded.
"Mr. Zhou, what’s happening?"
"What about you?"
Zhou Yu spoke gravely:
"It’s hard to say right now. I can only hope my premonition is wrong."
"What I can tell you is that when you were picking Soul Void Grass, the creature I chased away likely had at least one Integration Realm or even stronger creature leader behind it."
"And that creature leader might personally target us."
"What???"
Bai Shuang and the others were astounded.
"Integration Realm?"
"Impossible. Beings of such level are found only at the bottom of Black Soul Abyss, seemingly blocked by something, preventing them from easily coming up."
"Otherwise, there would be a heavy price to pay."
Zhou Yu said calmly:
"As I said, it’s just my premonition."
"Believe it or not is up to you."
"That’s enough for now. I’ll be leaving first."
With that, Zhou Yu activated the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, encasing himself, and then transformed into a bolt of lightning, fleeing towards the sky.
Seeing Zhou Yu’s desperate reaction, the three were startled too.
They briefly conferred among themselves and then split up, heading in different directions.
After leaving the three, Zhou Yu dashed towards the place where he originally entered, taking out Pill Medicine to restore True Yuan, swallowing them as if they were free.
In his heart, he fervently prayed that his suspicions were wrong.
However, as Zhou Yu was escaping, he suddenly sensed something amiss.
He turned back abruptly.
On the horizon he saw, to his shock, a black cloud had appeared behind him.
Moreover, the black cloud was sweeping towards him at a speed far exceeding his own.
Upon witnessing this, Zhou Yu felt an alarmed jolt in his heart. He no longer held any hope but instead exerted his full power to activate the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder and escape with the utmost speed.
At this moment, Zhou Yu was flying fast enough to split open the Power of Heaven and Earth wherever he passed.
Yet even so, the black cloud behind him kept drawing closer.
He could even hear the voice speaking unabashedly from the black cloud.
"This boy is indeed unusual."
"But fleeing before me now is nothing else but wishful thinking."
The speaker was none other than the Madam.
Observing the fleeing Zhou Yu from the front, the woman sneered, and then began casting spells while flying.
Multiple spells quickly emanated from her hands.
In no time, a silver vortex formed in front.
Soon after, the woman waved her hand, and the silver vortex instantly vanished into the void.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yu was desperately escaping.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a pulling force from the void around him.
And the force grew increasingly stronger.
By the time Zhou Yu realized something was wrong, a silver vortex appeared without warning and enveloped him.
In the next moment, his figure seemed to be drawn into a bizarre space.
Endless Yin Sha Qi swept toward him.
Zhou Yu’s expression drastically changed, instinctively releasing the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder to attack the surrounding Yin Sha Qi.
The Yin Sha Qi instantly vanished under the assault of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder.
But then, an unbelievable voice sounded.
"Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder?"
"You can actually use Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder?"
"Hahaha, this truly is providential!"
