“How would I know?” Miao Zhendong muttered in frustration, “I’m not on the same path as them…”
He naturally had no idea about what was happening on that side because the developments over there were quite unexpected.
Completely beyond anyone's expectations, even Fifth Qingrou and Mo Tianji together could not have anticipated the enormous variables.
The only one who might have guessed was Chu Yang, but even Chu Yang would not have speculated in that direction: the elite enforcer team, originally led by Lang Yilang's executioner, was now hastening towards a location in the southeast…
And this team had not suffered the significant casualties that Miao's Great Protector's team had; out of more than two hundred members, they had lost fewer than twenty.
It was unknown what method Xing Yi had used, but after discovering that the leader wasn’t coming and would never come, he directly led the entire team away…
By the time Miao Zhendong and the others reached the northwest, Xing Yi's main force was already close to their destination in the southeast…
Regarding such an unpredictable situation, everyone knew that discussing it for a year would not yield any conclusion. As they exchanged glances, Xiao Chenyu dismissively waved his hand, “Let’s stop this matter here, and instead, please tell us about that humanoid spirit with ninth rank supreme strength that has an indestructible body. Oh, by the way, from what I just heard from the two Protectors, that spirit… is still pursuing you?”
The teasing and skepticism in his tone were evident, making all the supreme masters present want to laugh.
Miao Zhendong glared angrily. Xiao Chenyu didn’t care at all!
The Second Protector quickly stepped in to ease the tension, slowly narrating their group’s experiences, while Miao Zhendong occasionally added a few comments. As the two recounted their story, all the supreme beings present, including Xiao Chenyu, gradually shifted from casual expressions to seriousness, eventually turning solemn.
Everyone present had countless years of experience and could easily distinguish between true experiences and fabricated tales. Initially, they had dismissed the two Protectors' accounts as too absurd, even thinking they were just trying to shirk responsibility by spouting nonsense. However, after hearing their stories, everyone expressed trust and recognition of their experiences.
And trust and recognition implied…
That a truly extraordinary being existed, one capable of suddenly manifesting green mist all over its body, bringing life to thousands of acres of forest; one that could cause a tree to grow rapidly, capable of recovering swiftly no matter how severely injured it was…
These, from any perspective, did not seem like something a human could achieve.
These were things that only a spirit could accomplish!
Moreover, it initially appeared to be at the peak of eighth grade supreme, but as the battle went on, it repeatedly suffered fatal injuries yet suddenly broke through to become a ninth rank supreme.
Everyone couldn’t help but look up at Miao Zhendong and his companion, thinking that if they hadn’t witnessed these two emotionally recounting their tale right in front of them, the entire narrative was so logical and seamless that they would have suspected these two simply dreamed an odd dream and were now sharing their fantasy.
Could such a thing truly exist in the world?
“If what the two Protectors described is true… then it really seems like the work of a spirit…” Night Shenmian stroked his beard, and although his voice was low, his tone was remarkably certain.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Xiao Chenyu pondered, seeming to muse, “If that’s the case… if that… spirit truly has a vendetta and has really traced you here, I’m quite interested to see what it is…”
Implying that Xiao Chenyu had now come to believe: it was not a human, but rather a spirit.
Miao Zhendong felt a chill in his heart; if Xiao Chenyu were to intervene, what chance would they have? However, circumstances were stronger than individuals; what could he say in someone else's territory? He could only lament, “Elder Xiao, if you can take action, then the spirit’s demise is assured. I will surely assist with all my strength.”
