Chapter 4528: Eternal Pursuit
ill flew out from the furnace and landed in his palm.But at that moment, there was another loud "crack" as a second bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, once again crashing down onto the medi...Looking at Jiang Hongzhi who had already drifted away, the Lord of Riyue Domain and Liu Yue couldn't help but glance at each other.
As for the feud between Jiang Hongzhi and Wǎng Lǎo, they wouldn't care. Whether Wǎng Lǎo lived or died, it would be of no concern to them.
However, launching an immediate attack on the Zhutian Collection Realm is not the best time.
The reason is very simple, just now the Lord of Sun and Moon Realm was injured by the self-detonation power of Forgetful Old's Blood Dragon, and his injuries are not light. His strength has declined, although he is still a Quasi Emperor, he is also the weakest Quasi Emperor.
If this were usual circumstances, it wouldn't be a big deal. But to attack a territorial stronghold with diminished strength could very well lead to failure in the end.
After all, if the strongest being, the Sun and Moon Domain Master, were gone, the Sun and Moon Gathering Domain would only have four quasi-emperor powerhouses left.
And among the celestial domains, counting that half-baked domain master Jiang Yun, there are equivalent to three in total.
Originally, there was a 70-80% chance of success. Now, at most, there's only a 50-60% chance.
If there is also a hidden quasi-emperor powerhouse in the Ten Thousand Heavens Realm, then the chances of winning would be reduced to only three or four out of ten.
But they also knew that since Jiang Hongzhi had spoken, there was no way for them to refuse.
After a moment's thought, the Lord of the Sun and Moon spoke in a deep voice: "Let's fight now."
After all, the undying old man had just escaped. Even if he told the cultivators of the Ten Heavens Realm about this, they wouldn't have time to prepare.
If we wait too long, and let them prepare fully, then sitting idly by while they await us will drastically lower our chances of victory!
Liu Yue looked at his body with concern and said, "But, your injuries..."
"It's fine!" The Sovereign of the Moon and Sun Domain shook his head. "I may not be a match for the Angel of Patrol or the Immortal Elder, but dealing with that Jiang Yun is more than enough for me."
Even with Master Ginger's help, it would take several days to get from here to the Zhutian Gathering Realm.
By then, my injuries should have recovered some.
"Well, there's no time to waste. Let's pack up quickly and leave as soon as possible!"
After that, the two looked deeply at the spot where the immortal old man had vanished before turning and leaving.
Meanwhile, Ginger Hung-chi, who had already left, did not return to his residence but appeared in a pitch-black area.
Here, the passage connecting the two major domains!
He came here, naturally, to escape the immortal old man.
Originally, he did not care about the escape of the Immortal Elder. However, seeing that the Lord of the Sun and Moon Realm was injured, he could not help but know that this would reduce their chances of victory in attacking the Zhutian Gathering Domain.
As the inspector of the Sun Moon Gathering Region, he also hoped that the Sun Moon Gathering Region could win a few more battles so that he could gain some benefits.
Therefore, he absolutely had to prevent the Immortal Elder from immediately sending news of the Sun and Moon Realm's expedition back to the Heavenly Domains, so that the Heavenly Domains wouldn't have time to prepare in advance.
Standing within this area, a golden light suddenly burst forth from Jiang Hongzhi's body, transforming into a set of golden armor that completely covered him. Then, he took steps towards the depths of the area.
Between the one hundred and eight domains, there have always been such passages.
However, this passage is not only extremely difficult to find, but it's also enormous in size. Its interior space is chaotic and riddled with countless dangers.
Without guidance to point the way, and without the strength of an emperor or a protective artifact, entering this place means either being forever lost within it, or dying inside.
And to allow the cultivators stationed in this area to safely traverse it is also one of the duties of the stationed officials.
Even Jiang Hongzhi, faced with this passageway, did not dare to be careless.
Although there are other, more convenient ways to reach other domains, Jiang Hongzhi came for the immortal elder and could only take this path.
As Jiang Hongzhi strode forward, a faint golden light materialized on his armor, hovering before him and illuminating his path.
Within the same area, about hundreds of thousands of miles away from Jiang Hongzhi, there was a burning mass of purple-gold flames.
Of course, this is the Immortal Elder!
In his palm, there was a red bloodline, like a living thing, constantly bending and writhing.
This bloodline, it was given to him by Wàng Lǎo back then, specifically to guide him.
At this moment, the undying elder, following the bloodline's guidance, walked with a grim expression in the darkness.
Although he desperately wanted to speed up and return to the Zhutian Gathering Region as soon as possible, he also knew that this place was filled with countless dangers. If he wasn't careful, he could easily perish here.
Even one's own divine awareness is significantly weakened here, making it impossible to foresee danger beforehand.
This also made him think of his master. His master's divine sense was far stronger than his own.
Compared to the elderly man who walked slowly, Jiang Hongzhi's walking speed was much faster.
His golden armor seemed to completely disregard any danger in this place.
Therefore, the distance between the two people is gradually shrinking.
Ginger Hung-Chi walked while spreading out his palm.
In his palm, a golden orb appeared.
Within the beads, there is a blurry human figure, still as death. It is naturally the soul of Wàng Lǎo.
Looking at the beads, Jiang Hongzhi muttered to himself, "This person's aura is extraordinary. I imagine even in the Bitter Domain, he shouldn't be an unknown nobody."
When he was only a soul, he could injure the Lord of the Sun and Moon with a single strike. His true strength might very well be that of an Emperor!
"However, over the years, apart from the sixth generation of Jiang Qiuyang brothers and sisters from the main vein, no one else has been able to make it from the Suffering Domain to the Multi-Heaven Gathering Realm!"
"Who is this person"
"It's a pity I only contacted my father recently, otherwise I would have asked him. He should be able to find out this person's identity."
Even for cultivators from the Bitter Realm, when they are in the Ten Thousand Realms Gathering Region, few can connect with people from the Bitter Realm.
Especially the war commanders, they seem to have prestigious positions. However, in reality, going to the gathering region to command troops is also a kind of test for each family towards them.
Not all cultivators in the cultivation realm are obedient.
In almost all past Domain Wars, there have been cases where war correspondents were killed by Domain cultivators.
Therefore, the commander needs to face all sorts of situations and find ways to resolve them.
They will only contact their sect or family elders when they encounter situations that are truly impossible to solve, or in times of life and death.
If everything were to be referred to elders for advice on how to handle it, then this so-called test would have no meaning at all.
Jiang Hongzhi naturally understood the truth behind this. Even though he was dealing with his own father, his father wasn't his only son.
If he performed poorly in the domain war, it would anger his father, and his status within the family would gradually decline thereafter.
Jiang Hongzhi frowned and continued, "If no one knows he's in my hands, then I might as well just kill him."
But that immortal old man who just escaped, he knows this person is staying behind to deal with me.
"Even the Domain Master of Day and Moon, and Liu Yue, both saw me capture him with their own eyes."
If I killed this person now, and when someone asked about it later, they would inevitably find my head.
"Well, I guess I'll just leave him alive for now!"
When the two major domains, Heaven and Sun & Moon, become dead zones, I will then kill him.
"Speaking of which, Jiang Hongzhi raised his head and looked ahead, two cold lights appeared in his eyes: "Finally caught up to you!"ud's face no longer held its usual calmness, instead, it was tinged with a hint of embarrassment. He bowed to Kong Benchu and Kong Xuehai, saying, "I'm sorry!"Kong Benchu smiled wryly and shook his he...
