Chapter 3361: Chapter 1679: Caught in a difficult position despising divine envoys, seeking light in the night of apprenticeship loathing the Deva
‘Live on… for …’
‘Just… live well…’
Whose voice is that?
And what are they saying?
Why does Ai Cangsheng carry such an intent that doesn’t belong to him? Has he also been influenced by Dao Qiongcang, just like Feng Yujin?
A cross-dressing Dao Qiongcang?
Are they playing that kind of ga now?
Holding his shield, Xu Xiaoshou retreated to the sea area, moving beyond the range of the Intent Stripping. Listening to the sound of the waves, he shook his head to clear the confusion clouding his mind.
“It might not necessarily be Dao Qiongcang…”
He suddenly rembered that Li Fugui had once told him a story about Ai Cangsheng.
Before he beca Lord Cang Sheng, the protector of the five regions, he was new to the martial arts world and had encountered a woman who was also new to that world—Lei Xiaoxiao.
The two ventured into the ruins together, but their fates diverged greatly. Ai Cangsheng obtained the Evil Sin Bow, while Lei Xiaoxiao perished. Before her death, she gifted him the Eyes of the Great Path.
Was it because of that?
Was that voice Lei Xiaoxiao’s voice?
So the target of the Intent Stripping wasn’t a “person” but “intent”?
Within a certain spatial range, no matter how many layers of intent exist on a person—whether they belong to him or not…
Even across the flow of ti, depending on the strength and persistence of the intent, the present person could potentially serve as a vessel, carrying the intent of past individuals?
“Is it a form of ‘Resentful Spirit Possession’?”
Xu Xiaoshou pondered deeply, trying to deduce from this voice—whether it was Lei Xiaoxiao’s or a cross-dressing Dao Qiongcang’s—how to defeat Ai Cangsheng.
But he quickly realized that this was a pipe dream.
The will of the Ten High Nobles was unimaginably powerful. How could a re lingering past intent have any influence?
Even if Ai Cangsheng and Lei Xiaoxiao shared an unforgettable past, the current Ai Gou, who clearly already harbored a biased perception of him, wouldn’t believe any of his “sches.”
Ai Cangsheng’s ability to seize battle opportunities was so formidable.
How could he possibly be fooled so easily?
Even if his original intention was rely a friendly reminder, sothing like, “Hey, Ai Gou, it seems like you’ve got a voice attached to you?”
Who’d believe that?
Even Xu Xiaoshou didn’t believe in himself!
“Splash, splash, splash…”
The waves churned under the whipping wind, twisting into various shapes yet unable to budge the Raging Giant’s steps even slightly.
Jin Ren had already sensed the situation going awry, activating the Vanishing Technique and Independence to extract himself from the battlefield.
From Jin Ren’s perspective, Xu Xiaoshou could see that after forcing him back with nine arrows, Ai Cangsheng calmly finished forming his hand seals.
“Forbidden·Technique Seed Restriction·Third Rank Unsealing!”
A shroud of imprisoning divine path patterns manifested around him.
The patterns sizzled and dissolved, along with the surrounding space.
His aura surged to its peak, overshadowing an entire region like the midday sun.
The reconstructed body sat atop the shattered mountain peak, as if it were a sacred mountain, emanating an unparalleled oppressive force.
Heavy!
It was too heavy!
Even after his physical body had shattered twice, his Eyes of the Great Path sohow remained intact.
As Ai Cangsheng looked across the sea from afar, Xu Xiaoshou, even in the form of the Raging Giant, felt as though sacred mountains pressing on his shoulders were about to crush the breath out of him.
“I can’t keep fighting him!”
“This is only his Third Rank Unsealing. From the intel Elder Dao the Flamboyant provided, he can at least go up to the sixth!”
The third was already like this!
The sixth was unimaginable!
Xu Xiaoshou quickly snapped back to his original intention.
He realized that from the beginning, he never intended to fight Ai Cangsheng at this mont.
While he could fight, the timing was off.
Elder Sang hadn’t even shown up yet—what was he doing butting heads with Ai Gou here? Accompanying him in his madness?
And besides!
Wasn’t I just here to level up? How did I end up on the battlefield anyway?
Did the Five Decays of Heaven and Man show up just to disrupt everything?
Were they helping or setting up? Could I possibly be overthinking this—was their only goal Qin Duan’s and Qiu Gu’s demi-saint positions?
“Elder Zhong, are you just sitting back and watching?”
“Are you going to wait until Ai Cangsheng smashes the entire Eastern Region before deciding to intervene?”
Standing on the Eastern Region’s edge, isolated from the Blood World Pearl, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly felt a mont of clarity.
He used the Apricot Realm jade talisman to telepathically communicate with Zhong Yuanzi.
Far away at the Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe ruins, Zhong Yuanzi shuddered when Xu Xiaoshou’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
He instinctively released Fang Wenxin’s collar, stepped back several paces, and even put so distance between himself and the Ninth Divine Priest.
His rolling eyes darted around. Realizing that no one was paying attention to him—and that no one else could hear Xu Xiaoshou’s voice in his head—he let out a silent sigh of relief.
“What is he doing?!
“Why is he contacting now?!”
“What if the people around find out… Ai Cangsheng is on the frontlines, and I’m here secretly making contact—wouldn’t that be treason?”
Zhong Yuanzi quickly cald down, realizing his paranoia was excessive.
“Wait, what am I so afraid of?
“As long as I remain righteous, there’s no need to fear shadows. I’ve had no dealings with Xu Xiaoshou beyond this jade talisman. I haven’t even visited his world. What is there to investigate?”
Through the Dao Imparting Mirror, as Feng Zhongzui’s incessant comntary buzzed in his ears, Zhong Yuanzi noticed the Raging Giant stopping in his tracks.
On the barren mountain, the Lord Cang Sheng—after entering the “Third Rank”—also appeared to have regained clarity, abandoning reckless attacks.
Or rather, with the amplification of the “Third Rank,” Ai Cangsheng now had the confidence to respond to any covert attack from Xu Xiaoshou, maintaining an air of calm dominance.
“Xu Xiaoshou, has he truly grown to such a level?”
“Even Ai Cangsheng needs a Third Rank Unsealing just to assert his dominance in Xu Xiaoshou’s presence…”
A chill ran through Zhong Yuanzi’s heart. He dared not hesitate further. Treading the Great Path Diagram, he invoked spatial teleportation, arriving at the inter-region teleportation portal at the border of Central Domain East.
