Chapter 2730: Hiding Somewhere?

Chapter 1396 – Hiding Somewhere?

The projection inside Shirley's Crimson Palace displayed the scene of Davis exploding into a shower of blood while Ancestor Magnus Rein dropped dead to the surface like everyone else.

Shirley's expression was pale as her heart clenched when she witnessed this scene. She had to constantly remind herself that Davis hadn't died and that he was only faking it to seem like that he was truly dead.

However, she didn't see a sign of using a single talisman.

So, how could he have killed the Ancestor whose cultivation seemed to be at High-Level Law Rune Stage? She simply did not believe that it magically happened, thinking that Davis must have absolutely sacrificed something to achieve this feat.

She was left unsure and anxious whether if he had truly used his blood essence and soul essence to achieve this feat. Otherwise, this kind of instant killing was unthinkable to her, even more so after he revealed that Davis had no master and it was all fake to make people not offend him.

She quickly took out a messaging talisman, screaming into it.

"Davis, are you fine!?"

*Zummm!~~~*

At this moment, a fiery light abruptly encased the entire Burning Phoenix in its illumination. The disciples, elders, and grand elders all witnessed the sudden change in the sect, noticing that the sect's defensive formation had been activated.

The entire sect was now both defended and sealed by a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Formation, known as the Sect Encompassing Phoenix Embrace Formation that used the skull of a Burning Phoenix as a core. The core was a preserved skull from a Peak-Level Emperor Beast Stage Burning Phoenix, such that the defense it amounted was extreme enough to defend against many Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses until the energy of the formation ran out.

Looking at such a formation become activated, they were all dumbfounded.

Wasn't this formation activated a bit too late? And even if it were activated before, it was practically useless to kill. They felt that a killing formation should've been activated instead, but now, it was already too late.

Casting a gaze at the distant Sect Master Lea Weiss, they became confused why she would activate it now instead of earlier. They quickly began to form some assumptions based on their intelligence and perception, mostly feeling that she took delayed action of her enmity with Grand Elder Valerian.

However, they suddenly noticed that even Sect Master Lea Weiss looked puzzled before they followed her gaze towards the distance and noticed a crimson-robed silhouette with the majestic representations of the burning phoenix etched on his robes.

The bellowing undulations emerging from this person left their mind reeling in shock! They hurriedly all kneeled. They didn't bother if they were on the surface or mid-air. They all kneeled without hesitation, lowering their heads in trepidation. Even the Grand Elders were similar, looking at the person who arrived directly in the skies above them, at which point he seemed to be casting a look at the dead Ancestor.

Sect Master Lea Weiss followed suit as she arrived behind this Ancestor, seemingly expecting an answer for the activation of this sect-saving formation.

This Ancestor seemed to be looking at Ancestor Magnus Rein with wide eyes, seemingly unable to believe that someone of their cultivation level had died without a fight. It wasn't like he wasn't watching. The moment Ancestor Magnus Rein stepped out of the secretive Ancestor Palace, he kept his eyes on him, but he certainly didn't expect for him to be even injured, much less drop dead without even being able to put as much as a fight!

"How could this have happened….?" His voice seethed with intense disbelief, echoing in the silent atmosphere.

The cultivators of the Burning Phoenix Ridge all felt the same, feeling incredulous that they lost almost a three-fifth of a chunk of their prowess. It deeply hurt their hearts and even made their souls feel pain.

Their Burning Phoenix Ridge had actually lost an Ancestor at this moment, and what's more painful was that it seemed to have been done by a maniacal protector who was just at Low-Level King Soul Stage.

They couldn't help find it utterly shameful and laughable, but when they recalled that he possessed unorthodox arts of Death Laws that bordered on the level of heaven-defying, they couldn't help but suck in a cold amount of breath in a stupor, feeling all their bones tremble in fear.

They were actually glad that they didn't make a move on one side, contrary to their thoughts that said that they could've sacrificed themselves to let their Burning Phoenix Ridge stay strong! These were the thoughts of the majority of the group, especially the cultivators of Rein's camp.

Their expressions were now a bit ugly and even sorrowful. It was apparent to everyone that they could no longer be lined up against the Weiss Family as they lost the two strongest powerhouses of their Burning Phoenix Ridge.

The Ancestor who had just arrived looked at the aftermath, his wizened old face twitching in disbelief. Nevertheless, he looked at the two spatial rings on the surface as a greedy light flashed in his eyes. He reached out his hand in a domineering manner before the two spatial rings instantly flew towards him.

However, instead of binding Ancestor Magnus Rein's Peak-Level Emperor Grade Spatial Ring, he bound Elder Chu Feng's Low-Level Emperor Grade Spatial Ring before his expression changed.

The spatial ring was actually empty!

"As I thought, that bastard must be still alive. Search for him. We cannot let him leave alive, or else, we face extinction for gravely weakening him to this state."

The crimson-robed Ancestor's solemn voice echoed, causing Sect Master Lea Weiss to blink.

"He died… I'm certain of that, Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss." She spoke up, making it known that this Ancestor was from her family.

"Then explain why his spatial ring is empty." Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss turned to look at her.

Sect Master Lea Weiss frowned, "Perhaps he didn't expect an Ancestor to show up and lock him in space, simply believing that he could escape after killing Grand Elder Valerian, no?"

The reason why the Weiss and Rein Family maintained supremacy in the Burning Phoenix Ridge was rather apparent, but whether if these Ancestors were living or have died in closed-door seclusion was something the world did not know because they rarely appeared.

If they appear in public, it would usually be for a sect-threatening reason. Once these Ancestors tackle it, they might usually be injured or even gravely injured from battling an equal level expert, so it was unknown if they would survive, existing, crippled, or dead that after so many years, the outside world would believe that they have died or generally tend to forget their existence with the passage of time and only tend to recall if their name once again pops up.

"Since that Chu Feng didn't expect it, he ended up having no choice but to commit double suicide by using an ominous, otherworldly art that required greater sacrifice like his entire life. In the end, he did make sure to bring Ancestor Magnus Rein along with him to death, so I think he had truly died."

Sect Master Lea Weiss lowered and shook her head as if she was musing to herself, "Otherwise, his existence wouldn't make any sense."

However, she turned around as her voice boomed out.

"Search the entire sect! Leave no stone unturned for that Chu Feng to survive and escape to see another day!"

Waving her hand, she commanded in an authoritative tone as equal as Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss.

"Yes!"

The Grand Elders and Elders quickly responded along with the collective voice of the disciples resounding inside the sect. Numerous figures quickly scrambled to search while Sect Master Lea Weiss and Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss simply watched.

However, it seemed like they were grasping on empty straws as they seem to believe that Elder Chu Feng was undoubtedly dead.

Soon, Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss's concentration was now on his fellow Ancestor's spatial ring.

On the other hand, Sect Master Lea Weiss knew that Elder Chu Feng was in his soul body, but his last explanation of the usage of his heretic arts that required the sacrifice of his essence and body left her feeling that his words might be true. Otherwise, this kind of terrifying prowess just didn't make any sense, even if the legendary Death Laws were taken into account.

No matter what law it may be, if there isn't enough energy to use the move or technique, that law is bound to be useless. This was basic common sense that even a kid would understand.

Nevertheless, she was almost convinced that Elder Chu Feng had truly died if it were not for the fake blood he used to make it look like he had been fighting in his real, physical body. If it weren't for that, she would practically be the same as everyone else, believing that Elder Chu Feng had undoubtedly died.

She pursed her lips, feeling anxious like she had never felt before.

'Lay low and hide as long as you can… Otherwise, it would be far too difficult for me to save you…'

She believed that Elder Chu Feng was hiding somewhere in the sect since his ability to conceal was off the charts, and the most likely place she could think of was…

"This Chu Feng was Top Disciple Shirley's Protector, wasn't he? I heard about her manifesting a Perfect Domain, but to think she would choose a crazy yet powerful person to be her protector, becoming the eventual harbinger of a calamity. Who under the heavens is he, and what is her background? I want to see the true reason behind this calamity of our sect…"

Sect Master Lea Weiss's pupils dilated as she heard Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss's voice. She turned her head, finding him looking at Shirley's Crimson Palace with a complex glint in his crimson eyes.
