Chapter 268: Chapter 235: Elder Kugu
As they pursued, the six powerful beings were filled with horror and confusion.
Inside the ancient tomb, there actually existed a Heavenly Saint, and a Demon Sect Heavenly Saint at that?!
Ye Chen had said that everyone had fallen into this Demon Sect Heavenly Saint's scheme.
Could it be that this ancient tomb was not that of Heavenly Saint Linghua after all, but belonged to a Demon Sect Heavenly Saint? They were actually guarding the tomb of a Demon Sect Heavenly Saint?!
And furthermore, possession?
As the six strongest beings of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, they certainly knew what possession meant!
The Demon Sect Heavenly Saint had actually taken over the body of a young boy?
The meaning within Ye Chen's brief words had utterly shocked the six powerful beings.
What stunned them even more was that Ye Chen, this young boy, was actually able to chase a successfully possessed Demon Sect Heavenly Saint to a desperate flight, which was completely unbelievable to the six powerful beings!
When did Ye Chen become so powerful?
Wasn't he a young man from the Spirit Sea Realm? How could he possess the power of a Heavenly Saint?
The six powerful beings recalled the cold sneer of the Demon Sect Heavenly Saint when he had escaped from the ancient tomb.
Perhaps, if not for Ye Chen's pursuit, if they weren't in a rush to escape, these six waiting outside might have faced a direct attack from that Demon Sect Heavenly Saint!

Amidst their astonishment, the six powerful beings recalled another matter.
Where were the others?
If the only ones who flew out of the ancient tomb were this successfully possessed Demon Sect Heavenly Saint and Ye Chen, then where were the other Tomb Explorers?
Could it be that they had already died at the hands of this Demon Sect Heavenly Saint?
Considering this possibility, the six powerful beings looked back towards where the Demon Sect Heavenly Saint and Ye Chen had escaped from, only to find that they were unable to probe inside the ancient tomb; their minds were greatly disturbed, and they could hardly wait to catch up to the two and ascertain the true circumstances!
And Fairy Jia Luo, upon not seeing Jiang Yao emerge, was even more worried about her!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the six powerful beings burst out of the cave and arrived above the Demon Burial Abyss, Ye Chen and the fleeing Heavenly Saint Moya were already dozens of miles away, and they were still rapidly flying forward!
Other cultivators who had been guarding outside the Demon Burial Abyss were now in complete chaos.
They were waiting for the Tomb Exploring to end, but they had not anticipated that the two people flying out from the Demon Burial Abyss would emanate such terrifying auras, so fearsome that they even felt if they were touched by any bit of the attack, they would die instantly on the spot.
Even the Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses felt the same way!
"Could it be a Heavenly Saint?"
This horrifying sensation made even the Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses think of "Heavenly Saints," and the highest realm of existence on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent.
But how could these two people in the sky, so young, possess the aura of a Heavenly Saint?
As the crowd was panicking, they saw the six powerful beings flying out of the Demon Burial Abyss as well, and many of them flew towards the six powerful beings to inquire.
However, the six powerful beings were each grim-faced and mostly silent, choosing instead to chase after the two figures speeding away.
This situation made it even more confusing for those outside the Demon Burial Abyss.
"What exactly happened?"
Many looked up at the rapidly flying silhouettes of these powerful beings in the sky, a growing sense of foreboding in their hearts.
Others directly followed in the wake of the six powerful beings, pursuing them into the distance.
In the sky.
While fleeing, Heavenly Saint Moya glanced back at Ye Chen, who was relentless in pursuit, with eyes burning with hatred.
As a being of Heavenly Saint status, he had never suffered such humiliation!
To be chased until he was in a desperate flight by a youth of the Spirit Sea Realm!
His great scheme, which he had set up, was not executed perfectly due to the presence of this young man, and even his treasure within the Life Origin Pavilion, a part of his Heavenly Saint possessions, had been lost in the process!
For a Heavenly Saint to lay a trap for someone from the Spirit Sea Realm, there would be no mistakes, and it would have surely led to the death of all.
In his case, however, it had failed.
This Heavenly Saint had indeed lost face this time!
"Hmph, if it were not for the fact that only my True Heavenly Saint Soul remained, and if I hadn't been restrained by those five lotus leaves, I would have completely killed you, little brat, in the tomb!"
"Now that I have successfully possessed a body and come outside the ancient tomb, it is time to find others to help me leave!"
"At the same time, I must take back all that belongs to me!"
The eyes of Heavenly Saint Moya, burning with hatred, glanced back at Ye Chen and then looked towards the sky.
Having been seriously injured back then and in order to avoid being tracked by other Heavenly Saints, he had completely sealed the tomb where he had hidden, blocking everything.
Now, Heavenly Saint Moya had recovered from his grave injuries and had successfully possessed a new body, escaping the ancient tomb; naturally, he had no more concerns. As a Heavenly Saint, he had ways of contacting other Heavenly Saints, and was planning to directly communicate with other Demon Sect Heavenly Saints to take him back to the top ten Demon Sects!
Boom!
In flight, the True Heavenly Saint Soul of the Heavenly Saint Moya suddenly emitted circles of strange ripples, directly reaching out to the three markings engraved within his true soul.
These three markings were the very Heavenly Saint Projections left by the Heavenly Saints of the top ten Demon Sects on each other!
Hum!
As Heavenly Saint Moya communicated, two of the markings remained dim, but the third one suddenly shot out a strange glow.
"Only one has responded; could it be that two of those old fellows from back then have already perished?"
"Fortunately, one is still alive, my good friend 'Elder Kugu' from those days!"
"I have activated the Heavenly Saint Projection technique; Elder Kugu should sense it very soon. He will be able to cast his Heavenly Saint Projection to aid me shortly!"
Having successfully activated the technique, Moya breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He continued to fly forward rapidly, but the look he cast toward Ye Chen, who was still behind him, brimmed with increasingly potent killing intent!
...
Ye Chen, who was chasing after Heavenly Saint Moya at high speed, felt a chill in his heart as he sensed Moya's gaze.
He could feel the murderous intent Heavenly Saint Moya harbored against him.
Yet, he had no choice but to pursue Moya. With Moya's cruel and ruthless methods, letting the tiger return to its mountain would surely spell disaster.
"Pursue him, I must catch up quickly and eliminate Moya with the help of the treasures!"
"Otherwise, once my Heavenly Saint power is completely drained, I will have no way to deal with Moya!"
Even while in hot pursuit, Ye Chen was silently preparing all his tactics and even communicated with Phoenix Spirit within the Azure Blue Mansion.
He would go all out in his attempt to eliminate Moya, but if the situation changed, he also had backup plans to face the crisis.
...
Western Wilderness.
The vast expanse covering the entire western part of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent is known as the Western Wilderness.
This territory is twice as large as the Southern Territory of the Thirteen Kingdoms but much more barren.
This land is where the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness have their abode.
Despite centuries of truce between the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness, within the Southern Territory's Thirteen Kingdoms, the formidable cultivators will never forget the names of the Demon Sects such as Joyous Union Sect, Dry Bone Peak, Blood Fiend Valley, Myriad Ghosts Cave, and Defying Demon Sect.
These ten Demon Sects are the sworn enemies of the Thirteen Kingdoms, capable of waging war at any moment.
Dry Bone Peak, located in the central region of the Western Wilderness, is a mountain that reaches ten thousand feet into the sky.
The entire mountain is painted with a ghastly pale color, and bones can often be seen crisscrossing the surroundings, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Here lies the fourth-ranked Demon Sect of the Western Wilderness, "Dry Bone Peak."
Atop Dry Bone Peak, within a secret cave, an old man with white hair and beard was meditating.
This old man wore a white robe adorned with grim bones, and his face was so gaunt that he resembled a skeleton.
Had disciples from the Demon Sects seen this elder, they would undoubtedly recognize him as Elder Kugu, the most long-lived among the four surviving Heavenly Saints of the Demon Sects.
While Elder Kugu was meditating in the cave, ripples of light suddenly emanated from him.
The moment these lights shone coincided with Heavenly Saint Moya activating the Heavenly Saint Projection technique far away in the territory of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom!
Hum!
As the light radiated, Elder Kugu abruptly opened his eyes.
"Projection technique?!"
"And one that I left behind over three thousand years ago?"
Sensing the meaning behind the formation within the ripples, a sharp gleam shot from Elder Kugu's eye sockets.
Then, extending a skeletal claw, Elder Kugu reached towards the light, carefully sensing its essence.
A moment later, he released the light from his claw with disbelief, standing up abruptly, "It's 'Moya', 'Moya' is still alive!"
As Elder Kugu spoke, he pointed a finger into the void, and instantly, an image of Heavenly Saint Moya flying through the sky appeared out of the emptiness.
"It really is 'Moya'! I can sense Moya's true soul! Has he... body-snatched?"
Seeing the image in the void, Elder Kugu's expression changed several times, then a look of ecstasy flooded over him.
"In the Southern Territory? The Heavenly Wind Kingdom? Then I shall make a trip to the Heavenly Wind Kingdom!"
Boom!
As Elder Kugu spoke, he stepped gently into the image in the void, and in an instant, he stepped right through it!
And in the next moment, Heavenly Saint Moya, who was far away in the territory of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, saw the space beside him rip open as the figure of an elder stepped through.
This elder was none other than Elder Kugu, who had just entered the image in the void a few breaths before!
This terrifying method was none other than the Heavenly Saint Projection technique, available only to those who had mastered at least one of the five Great Void Laws to perfection and had reached the Heavenly Saint Realm!
With the Heavenly Saint Projection technique engraved, Heavenly Saints could descend their projection from thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles away, arriving in an instant!
"Kugu!"
Seeing the elder who suddenly appeared in the void beside him, Moya, who had been fleeing, flew right up to the elder and joyfully exclaimed.
He had activated the projection technique and truly summoned a Heavenly Saint!
"No need to flee anymore!"
"Kugu is a true Heavenly Saint, not a mere Heavenly Saint in spirit form!"
"Young one, prepare to die!"
Boom!
Moya, who had just stopped beside Elder Kugu, immediately set his eyes toward Ye Chen who was rapidly approaching.
And Ye Chen, sensing the emergence of Elder Kugu, halted in the sky.
As he looked at the ecstatic Moya and then at the newly appeared elder, whose presence was swirling with the aura of a Heavenly Saint, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed.
Ye Chen knew, the situation had changed.
What was approaching now was a true Heavenly Saint!
