Chapter 911: Quickly Send Me His Information!
"Great, now I'll be whipped by a Quasi-Emperor!" Venerate Mo Huang covered his head with his four hands. He was full of panic.
The other two peak Venerates also had grim expressions.
Everyone knew Quasi-Emperor Yijin's temperament...
He was sadistic!
Even Supreme Yi Xiu would be whipped if he made a mistake.
Not to mention the rest of us Venerates.
"What do we do now?" Venerate Xie Yang was at a loss.
"It's over, it's over." Venerate Mo Huang squatted on the ground, his eyes vacant.
"Chase them! Let's find Supreme Yi Xiu!" Venerate Ze Yan's eyes flashed with determination. "They can't have gone far. Seal off the encampment area!"
"Let's see where they've fled to!"
...
They managed to escape!
In terms of spacetime, the Sky race had a significant advantage.
As long as their combat prowess wasn't too suppressed, the Sky race might just slip past the Dark race's grasp.
Especially with Wang Ye joining and utilizing the innate great path of life, the combat prowess of the Fuyi King Corps now rivaled that of the Dark race in their Quasi-Emperor territory.
"Thank you both for your help," Brunel expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome," Wang Ye replied humbly.
"I was just about to kill those Sky race to vent my frustration!" Piyebo hadn't quite had his fill.
Brunel glanced back at the Fuyi King Corps behind him and sighed. "I didn't anticipate the Dark race would be this formidable. Despite our efforts to conceal our movements, they managed to track us down. We nearly suffered significant losses."
"Forget it. My King's Corps has long been disbanded," Piyebo lamented bitterly.
"Your troubles have nothing to do with me..." Wang Ye thought to himself.
Blame your bad luck for getting targeted by Venerate Hang's aura.
Of course, I did contribute a bit to it.
But it was indeed the Fuyi King Corps who did the deed.
"What are your plans?" Brunel inquired.
Piyebo glanced at Wang Ye.
Brunel looked mildly surprised.
He had initially assumed that the superior-grade Sky race of the Forest Ancestral Realm was leading the charge.
But it seemed that this Eternal Lifeform capable of wielding the Life Great Path was the true leader.
Indeed, an Eternal Lifeform appearing here was not to be underestimated.
"We're tracking the Strength race's movements," Wang Ye stated bluntly, meeting Brunel's gaze squarely. The latter remained unchanged. Wang Ye continued, "But we haven't found any leads so far."
"Right," Brunel nodded slightly.
"You should have plenty of information in your Hidden Ancestral Realm, right?" Piyebo asked straightforwardly.
Brunel shook his head. "I'm just a legion commander. How could I know so much? Besides, the Hidden Ancestral Realm is like the other four realms, we all share information about missions and locations."
"Fair enough," Piyebo nodded.
Wang Ye glanced at him.
This Young Master of the Forest Ancestral Realm was even more naive than Bea.
"Do you just believe whatever people say?" Wang Ye thought.
"So, what's your plan?" Wang Ye asked.
"What else can we do?" Brunel sighed, looking over his shoulder. "I'm afraid the Dark race has already locked onto us. We've explored this encampment thoroughly but still found no clues. I doubt the Strength race is even here."
"Continuing like this is futile and will only provoke the Dark race even more," Piyebo added.
"We should retreat and conserve our strength as much as possible."
"Yes, yes, exactly!" Piyebo nodded emphatically. "Only a fool would keep searching. Do you have a death wish? Life is the most precious thing we have!"
"Heh. Xiao Pi, if you have something to say, just say it to our faces." Wang Ye wondered.
"Then let's go together," Wang Ye said to Brunel. "We can watch each other's backs. Is that convenient?"
"Couldn't ask for more," Brunel smiled. "With you both joining us, our King Corps is as strong as ever. Even if we encounter another ambush, we won't worry."
"Haha, this is a powerful alliance!" Piyebo was ecstatic.
Brother Ye could still understand his underlying message!
They were finally ready to depart!
...
Escaped?
How could they have gotten away?
Supreme Yi Xiu stared intensely at the three peak Venerates, seething with anger.
These three fools!
They managed to squander such a commanding advantage!
If they let the Sky King Corps escape, Quasi-Emperor Yijin would surely punish them!
"Speak! What exactly happened?" Supreme Yi Xiu demanded. He contained his rage.
The three peak Venerates glanced at each other, and finally, Venerate Ze Yan reluctantly spoke up, "It's like this. Initially, we had them surrounded, but—"
"But what?" Supreme Yi Xiu stared directly at him.
Venerate Ze Yan whispered, "But then, an Eternal of the Sky race appeared, wielding the innate great path of life at the peak realm level. This unexpectedly revived the Sky King Corps, who were on the brink of collapse, revitalizing them anew."
Innate great path of life at the peak realm level?
Eternal of the Sky race?
What a joke!
Supreme Yi Xiu was about to retort when he suddenly remembered their own ridiculous Eternal from the Dark race. He held his tongue. "And then? Don't you know how to eliminate him?"
Venerate Mo Huang's face tightened as he managed to force out, "We... can't."
"Useless!" Supreme Yi Xiu cursed. "You can't even handle such a trivial matter! How am I supposed to explain this to Quasi-Emperor Yijin? You'll have to report to him yourself when the time comes!"
Panic flashed across Venerate Mo Huang's tense face, and his legs gave way. "Please don't!"
Venerate Xie Yang also trembled. "The Sky King Corps can't have gone far. We'll surely catch up to them!"
"Do you know where they are?" Supreme Yi Xiu asked coldly. He narrowed his eyes.
Venerate Xie Yang fell silent.
"Lord, how did you know their location before?" Venerate Ze Yan cautiously inquired.
"Naturally, I have my ways," Supreme Yi Xiu replied haughtily.
"Well... do you have any other methods now?" Venerate Ze Yan asked tentatively.
Supreme Yi Xiu snorted coldly.
His arrogance was unmistakable.
The three peak Venerates looked on, filled with hope.
"Split into two groups. One continues searching near the encampment," Supreme Yi Xiu quickly decided. "The other group follows me towards the only passage!"
"Yes, my lord!" The three peak Venerates responded promptly.
Supreme Yi Xiu watched as they disappeared, his consciousness delving into the dark realm medal.
"An Mu, you mentioned that Eternal youngster before. Send me his details quickly..." Supreme Yi Xiu ordered.
...
Meanwhile, Wang Ye was currently withdrawing with the Fuyi King Corps.
They were indeed cautious.
Three steps, one guard.
He had arranged for the three Venerables with the highest mastery of spacetime to scout ahead.
They covered almost all the road conditions ahead, seeking fortune and avoiding danger.
Even if they encountered danger, their mastery of spacetime allowed them to escape easily.
"Why didn't I think of this method!" Piyebo lamented.
"As if you could have thought of it... You can't even shake off Venerate Hang." Wang Ye thought to himself.
"No wonder they explore deeply but encounter few enemies." Wang Ye finally understood.
The only recorded instance likely involved them initiating an encounter.
Having been with the Fuyi King Corps for so long, he had been observing.
There was a problem!
Firstly, they were quite unfamiliar with him.
Only Chief Commander Brunel occasionally came by to chat, while other King Corps members hardly spoke.
They appeared disciplined, but there were significant issues.
Because they were all Venerates!
The eight-winged Venerates enjoyed considerable freedom within the King Corps.
As for Wang Ye and Piyebo, one was a first-grade Eternal among the Sky race, proficient in the peak realm of the Life Great Path, a super genius! His combat prowess was astounding!
The other was a young master of the Forest Ancestral Realm, a peak Celestial Venerate, of superior-grade Sky race status, esteemed in identity!
Yet, despite all this time, not one had approached him!
Not even male Venerates, let alone females!
This was highly unusual!
"There's an invisible barrier," Wang Ye could sense it.
They might have been placed under a gag order.
Fearful they might inadvertently leak critical information!
...
They continued forward for several days.
The journey was uneventful.
It had to be said, the Fuyi King Corps' approach was highly practical.
"I have a question," Wang Ye approached Brunel.
"What's the matter?" Brunel asked.
"Aren't we heading for the only passage?" Wang Ye queried. "Why take a detour? Wouldn't going straight be faster?"
"Because there's a Dark race team searching ahead," Brunel explained. "To avoid revealing our location, taking a detour is the best choice. Unnecessary battles can be avoided."
"What's the strength of this Dark race team?" Wang Ye asked. "How many are there? Is their leader a peak Venerate?"
Brunel hesitated momentarily. "Ten Dark race Venerates, led by two peak Venerates. Their strength should not be underestimated."
"Indeed." Wang Ye nodded.
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Brunel inquired.
"No reason. I have a good friend near Brightmoon Highlands," Wang Ye said. "I planned to visit him on the way."
"I see. So, you intend to go see him?" Brunel clarified.
Wang Ye did not directly respond. Instead, he asked, "Can we go together?"
"I'm afraid not. I must prioritize the safety of the King Corps." Brunel hesitated.
"Understood." Wang Ye nodded. "Then let's part ways here."
"Alright, take care," Brunel reminded. "Contact me if you run into trouble."
"Definitely." Wang Ye affirmed.
...
Wang Ye parted ways with the Fuyi King Corps.
Beside Wang Ye stood Piyebo, looking completely puzzled about what was happening.
"Why are you following me?" Wang Ye asked him.
Piyebo was speechless.
"With the Fuyi King Corps around, are you afraid the Dark race Venerates will attack you?" Wang Ye questioned.
"Oh, I forgot!" Piyebo recalled, then shook his head. "Never mind, it's boring with them. It's like being on guard against thieves all the time, no fun playing together."
"Heh, Xiao Pi wasn't stupid. Very well. Having a peak Venerate as an additional bodyguard by his side wasn't bad either," Wang Ye thought.
"Brother Pi, follow them and see if they're keeping anything from us," Wang Ye instructed.
"Heh, we have the same thought!" Piyebo bumped fists with him. "All secretive like they're treating us as outsiders, the Fuyi King Corps must be hiding some secrets!"
"Don't get caught," Wang Ye cautioned. "Keep in touch."
"Don't worry, I've got this!" Piyebo patted his chest confidently and vanished.
Watching Pieppo disappear, Wang Ye released his Life Great Path.
Then, he stowed the sky wheel and activated his divine treasure.
His consciousness seeped into the dark abyss medal.
"Supreme Yi Xiu." Wang Ye's eyes gleamed.
"Yes, it's me, the Eternal Lord."
"I've located the Fuyi King Corps!"
