Although no one could specifically identify Chu Yang's physique, the guidance of the spirit of his "archenemy," which involved making significant sacrifices, was absolutely infallible!
When the distant stranger returned to his camp, his angry expression had completely vanished.
"Have those two adversaries been tracked down?" the stranger softly inquired.
The air beside him shimmered and transformed, revealing an old man: "We've only found one."
"Hmm?" The stranger frowned. "Where is he? What is his name?"
"It's strange. One of these two adversaries seems to be able to evade our detection completely, making it impossible to locate him. The second one, however, is not from a sect; instead, he is the leader of a group of robbers," the old man said, knitting his brows.
"A robber's leader? How could that be!" The stranger frowned. "Who did you send to investigate?"
"This information is absolutely reliable," the old man replied. "This person is surnamed Tan, as in 'talk,' and he looks peculiar with an equally peculiar temperament; he seems... somewhat neurotic. Moreover, his methods are ruthless, and it's unclear which faction he belongs to... His organization is called 'Heavenly Weapon Pavilion,' which has two characters in common with Chu Yang's Heavenly Soldier Auction Hall."
"Hmm?" The stranger's frown deepened.
"Yes, he's the only one within our territory; the other is at the border... unreachable," the old man answered respectfully.
The stranger looked skyward, murmuring, "Is this a coincidence?"
He then asked, "From which world did this person ascend?"
"Unclear," the old man chuckled bitterly. "This guy never abides by any laws and isn't registered at all. All his sources come from robbery and plunder. Furthermore, his power has grown rapidly... He is only at the earthly level, but his escape skills are exceptional. He had an enemy who sent a heavenly level peak expert to kill him, yet he managed to slip away without a trace..."
"Truly an interesting person..." the stranger said with a darkened expression. "Send word back to conduct a thorough investigation!"
"Understood," the old man bowed in agreement.
With a serious face, the stranger sighed and said, "This time is indeed somewhat untimely… Especially with the outbreak of the soul suppressing stone incident at this moment. Otherwise, I could have had some fun with that Tan fellow... What a pity... By the time I return, it will surely be a different situation."
The old man said, "Well... that shouldn't be, right? We can't stay here for long. At most, we'll be back in half a year."
"Half a year... is already enough to turn the world upside down," the stranger exhaled. "The opponent pointed out by the archenemy cannot be gauged by common sense. Any progress or change is understandable."
He frowned. "Upon my return, the first thing I need to deal with is this Tan fellow!"
On another side.
Purple Sovereign was also troubled by the same issue: "A robber? How could it possibly be a robber and not someone from a super sect? What is the background of Dong Wushang?"
"Heavenly Weapon Pavilion? Is there any relation between Heavenly Weapon Pavilion and Chu Yang's Heavenly Soldier Auction Hall...? There shouldn't be..."
"There are simply too many people in this world who claim to be 'heavenly soldiers...' " Purple Sovereign sneered internally: Heavenly Soldier? Good? It's still just a soldier!
Dong Wushang was precisely the arch-enemy that Purple Sovereign had discovered in Great Luo Heaven. Just as he found out, the soul suppressing stone incident erupted, prompting him to lead a team here immediately.
He didn't even have time for an in-depth understanding.
However, the name Dong Wushang had become a thorn lodged in Purple Sovereign's heart.
It made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Purple Sovereign's heart was clouded.
Enemies often came from other worlds; why was this Dong Wushang appearing in my original realm? In Great Luo Heaven alongside me?
What was going on here?
An arch-enemy existing in the same realm indicates an unstable status?
