Chapter 1221 How about you go?

(Ye Si, do you have other ways to contact Pavilion Master Chu?] Song Shuhang asked in his mind.

Ye Si did not respond. She was still in the middle of transcending her inner demon tribulation, so it was impossible for her attention to remain divided all the time.

Is the entire Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion really going to be turned upside down? Song Shuhang thought to himself.

He raised his head and gazed out the window, wanting to see if any signals had been launched outside. Who knew, perhaps Daoist Umbrella had found a clue?

However, he didn’t really expect much from him. Although it would indeed be best if a signal appeared, he would not be disappointed if none did.

The Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion was still in the same state it was ever since he arrived. The eyes of the disciples were all dim, and they were all motionless. One of the things that did change, however, was that the vortex in the sky of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion had grown larger.

Song Shuhang thought for a moment, and said, “Time to move. We should have a look at the center of that vortex, maybe Pavilion Master Chu is there.”

He took out the invisible saber insect and flew out of the window.

The whale-riding virtuous lamia followed right behind him.

At the exact instant when Song Shuhang stepped out of the window, he suddenly felt the world around him start spinning.

This feeling... was that a spatial fluctuation?

Was the window of Pavilion Master Chu’s Celestial Pavilion a spatial gate?

However, when the slime had escaped from the window a while back, no abnormalities had occurred.

Song Shuhang looked at the sky of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion; the vortex was no longer anywhere to be seen. What he now saw was a gray sky that seemed to be filled with an especially thick haze.

Within that gray sky, there were five natural satellites of different sizes.

Song Shuhang: “...”

Just how many moons did this place actually have? If a monster cultivator practiced here, they would probably feel extremely happy. After all, moonlight seemed to have a strange property that allowed it to be absorbed by monster cultivators and enhanced their strength.

At the same time, as soon as Song Shuhang connected what had just happened with the confession of the white-haired man, he was able to come up with a plausible conclusion. The entire Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion might already be in the process of being taken away; the destination should be the Beast Realm, one among the multitudes of realms in the universe.

Song Shuhang did not have that clear of a concept of the ‘universe’. As such, he did not really know if the ‘Beast Realm’ was a planet in the universe or a realm in a ‘different space’.

However, he was certain of one thing: it was definitely far away from Earth. With the speed of his Fourth Stage saber flying, it was likely that he would not be able to return to Earth even if he spent his entire lifetime flying.

How troublesome.

I wonder what happened to Pavilion Master Chu? With her strength at the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm, even if she might not be able to beat the other party, can’t she at least run away?

However, considering her personality, she might choose to die in the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion. She has already lost the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion once, so it is possible that she is not willing to lose it a second time.

What should I do now?

Song Shuhang rubbed his eyebrows.

After a moment.

I guess I’ll go back to the Time City first, he thought to himself.

Now that the entire Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion was already being moved, he planned on returning to the Time City first to pick up Chu Chu and Li Yinzhu, and then transfer them to his own Inner World so that their safety could be ensured.

Song Shuhang rode his saber and flew to the Time City at the fastest speed he could.

At this time, his fear of heights and fear of speed were temporarily nonexistent.

Along the way, other than the disciples who were still in a daze, Song Shuhang did not see anyone else, not even the white-haired man’s companions.

Soon, he was already back at the entrance of the Time City.

However, the original entrance had already become a bottomless pit.

By the side, Daoist Umbrella appeared confused.

Song Shuhang landed beside him, and quickly asked, “What happened to the Time City?”

“Hello, you are...?” Daoist Umbrella asked as he looked at Song Shuhang. It seemed that he had forgotten about Song Shuhang once again.

Song Shuhang hurriedly said, “We can’t afford to waste any more time. Before you forget, tell me what happened to the Time City.”

Daoist Umbrella replied, “I don’t know. I remember going to the Time City to look for Pavilion Master Chu, but right when I got there, space shifted, and the Time City disappeared just like that.”

After that, he looked at Song Shuhang, and said, “Oh, you are Profound Sage Tyrannical Song! I feel very honored to meet you. By the way, do you know where Pavilion Master Chu is?”

Song Shuhang sighed, and said, “I’m also looking for her.”

Daoist Umbrella nodded, and said, “If that’s the case, let’s look for her together.”

Song Shuhang looked at the spot where the Time City had been.

It seemed that due to its special properties, the Time City had not been transferred by the white-haired man and his companions. It was left behind in the universe of the main world.

If the Tribulation Transcender experts who transferred the ‘Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion’ did not find the Time City’, then Chu Chu and Li Yinzhu should be safe.

Hopefully both of them are safe, Song Shuhang thought.

The next move was to return to the starting point and continue looking for Pavilion Master Chu.

He would not be able to intervene in the battle between Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcenders. However, if he put the ‘flat imperial hat’ on the virtuous lamia, he might be able to help Pavilion Master Chu.

By the side, Daoist Umbrella said, “Senior Tyrannical Song, someone’s here, and they don’t seem to have come with kind intentions.”

“Where?” Song Shuhang looked around, but did not find any abnormalities nor sensed any aura.

Daoist Umbrella confidently said, “At our six o’clock. They’re only a few Sixth Stage True Monarchs, a Seventh Stage Venerable, and around a dozen Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperors. They aren’t Senior Tyrannical Song’s match. Destroy them!”

Song Shuhang: “...”

Around a dozen at the Fifth Stage plus a few at the Sixth Stage plus one at the Seventh Stage. This lineup was enough to destroy him several times. Even if he borrowed Scarlet Heaven Sword for the ‘Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique’, he would still only be able to use it a limited number of times. After that, if the enemy had not died yet, he would be the one to die instead.

Meanwhile, the flat imperial hat + the virtuous lamia was a life-saving card that could not be used casually.

Song Shuhang said, “How about you go?”

“Me? I won’t be able to handle them. Although I’ve forgotten what my realm is, I’m certain that I would not be able to fight against so many enemies,” Daoist Umbrella replied. “Senior Tyrannical Song, you should be the one to make a move.”

Song Shuhang said, “Withdraw!”

After saying that, he quickly brought out Broken Tyrant and sped away into the distance.

Daoist Umbrella raised his umbrella, which spun quickly just like a helicopter’s rotor blades and made him fly away.

“Senior Tyrannical Song, why are we running away?” He did not seem to be anxious at all.

Song Shuhang replied, “If I told you that I can’t beat them, would you believe me?”

“How could that be possible? Senior Tyrannical Song, you’re at the Eighth Stage Realm, so you should be able to easily deal with them,” Daoist Umbrella replied.

Song Shuhang sighed, and said, “See, if I told you the truth, you would not believe it. To make you believe, I would have to construct the perfect lie. More importantly, after I finally come up with the perfect lie and leave you with a satisfactory answer, it won’t take long before you forget again. How tiring is that?”

Daoist Umbrella responded, “Although I don’t really understand what you’re saying, I feel that Senior Tyrannical Song is making a good point.”

Song Shuhang and Daoist Umbrella flew all the way forward.

Soon, they reached the edge of the ‘Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion’. They were now above a field of medicinal plants.

Originally, there had been several layers of complex defensive formations set up around here, but now that the entire Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion was being transferred, all of the defensive formations had disappeared.

Song Shuhang directly flew out of the boundary of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion.

However, Daoist Umbrella suddenly stopped.

Daoist Umbrella raised his head, revealed a puzzled expression, and said, “Senior Tyrannical Song, I... can’t leave the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion.”

Song Shuhang slightly paused, and then turned his head to look at him.

Daoist Umbrella was also part of Pavilion Master Chu’s ‘illusory reality’. Therefore, he would not be able to leave the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion.

Previously, since all of the disciples of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion could not move while Daoist Umbrella could, Song Shuhang had thought that he might not be a part of the ‘illusory reality’.

Perhaps he was just a relatively special individual in the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion whose memory was poor and would constantly forget everything that had just happened. Was there any special significance to his existence?

Daoist Umbrella said to Song Shuhang, “Not good, those people have chased us over. Senior Tyrannical Song, you should go first, I’ll look for a place to hide.”

After saying that, before Song Shuhang could say anything, he had already flown away in another direction. One could only see him skillfully shuttle through the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion and disappear after a few ups and downs.

At the same time, several figures in the distance flew towards Song Shuhang.

The one in the lead exuded an aura at the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm. He had a single horn, while arcs of electricity bolted around his body. Beside him, there was a small slime rolling over—it was the same black slime that had been in the ‘Celestial Pavilion’. After it had escaped, it immediately relayed the news of ‘Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’ to the One-Horned Venerable.

The One-Horned Venerable immediately took some people to chase along the aura left behind by Song Shuhang.

Seeing Song Shuhang from afar, the One-Horned Venerable’s eyes lit up. “It really is Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.”

Great, it’s quite a pleasant surprise to find this Profound Sage Tyrannical Song here.

As long as he could stall Profound Sage Tyrannical Song for a while and make it so that the other party would not be able to escape, his ancestor could make a move after taking care of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion.

At that time, his ancestor would be able to help him take down this newly ascended Eighth Stage Profound Sage for him to practice techniques, draw blood from, and even become his stock of resources.

He had an intuition that this newly ascended Profound Sage was the opportunity that he needed to rush into the Eighth Stage!

Song Shuhang said, “They’ve caught up.”

Scarlet Heaven Sword responded, “With the strength that you have, isn’t it normal for a Seventh Stage Venerable to be able to catch up to you? There’s no use thinking too much, you won’t be able to escape with the flying speed of your saber. It’s my turn to appear. The other side’s Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender has yet to appear, there isn’t a need to be afraid. If things really go south, we can still hide in your Inner World.”

Scarlet Heaven Sword was very excited.

...Because if Song Shuhang used it, it would be able to come out of the belly of the virtuous lamia for some time.

“I’m just a Fourth Stage cultivator, can’t I be matched with some normal opponents?” Song Shuhang sighed.

Afterward, he stepped on the invisible saber insect and turned to face the Seventh Stage Venerable and the rest of the Sixth Stage True Monarchs and Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperors.

If it weren’t for his strong mind, his legs would have gone soft like any other ordinary Fourth Stage cultivator’s would have.

The Sage Seal appeared and slowly floated behind him, coating him with layers of dignity. When it was necessary, Song Shuhang could also invoke the power of the Sage Seal’.

The One-Horned Venerable did not dare to underestimate Song Shuhang. He waved his hand and got the subordinates that he had brought to form a large formation. His purpose was only to stall Song Shuhang... As long as he was able to stall him, it would already be a victory for him.

Song Shuhang extended his hand and reached towards the virtuous lamia.
