My Father Is Definitely Possessed

Chapter 592 - 274: An Untouchable World

When the Archbishop led his group into the valley and saw the five corpses lying on the ground, his expression turned icy cold.

Two ordinary bishops had died just like that!

They were experts of the Longevity Sect.

Four Grandmasters had died, along with an Innate Perfection expert, which was a huge loss for the Longevity Sect.

And upon investigating the cause of their deaths, they found that they had been poisoned by the Ghost-devouring Rhinoceros Beetle.

"Where is Lord Zhou?"

The Archbishop asked coldly.

Weren’t there supposed to be six of them?

Why was Lord Zhou missing?

The followers of the Longevity Sect who had come with the Archbishop searched all around, then returned to report, "Archbishop, there is no trace of Lord Zhou."

With these words, the Archbishop roughly understood what had happened.

"He can’t have gone far, find him for me," the Archbishop said calmly, "Find Lord Zhou, dead or alive, and bring Li Hengsheng back to me alive."

"Yes!"

The many followers of the Longevity Sect scattered. They were the many experts of the Longevity Sect, who had originally come to support Li Hengsheng, but the Archbishop hadn’t expected that Lord Zhou would poison everyone and escape with Li Hengsheng.

This result made the Archbishop furious.

When he left, he had confidently told the sect leader that he would bring back Li Hengsheng to exchange for an immortal treasure for the Longevity Sect.

Now, with such an outcome, how could he face returning?

After everyone dispersed, the Archbishop stepped into the void himself. He had arrived an hour early, and from the residual warmth of the campfire, he could determine that Li Hengsheng couldn’t have gone far. If he pursued him, he would surely catch up.

Only he didn’t know which direction Li Hengsheng headed.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the Archbishop took out a scroll from his spatial ring. Upon opening it, there was a painting of a blood-colored wolf.

"Come out."

With his command, a flash of blood light passed over the scroll, and the Blood Wolf leapt out from the painting.

It was indeed a Soul Beast.

The Blood Wolf sniffed the blood traces on the ground, which was from before when Lord Zhou had vomited. The Blood Wolf quickly locked onto a direction, then transformed into a blood light darting into the distance.

The Archbishop stepped forward, clouds forming beneath his feet, swiftly giving chase.

At this time, Li Hengsheng was still sprinting across this vast expanse of land. Using Thunderbolt Rush to its utmost, Li Hengsheng’s speed was exceedingly fast, but here he had no idea which direction to head and could only follow his instincts.

"Dawn is breaking soon."

Li Hengsheng saw a faint golden light on the other side of the mountains, indicating that day was about to break.

At this moment, Li Hengsheng was feeling exhausted. From the initial escape until now, he couldn’t remember how many times he had used Thunderbolt Rush. Meanwhile, the Cloud Wasteland was far from peaceful; along the way, Li Hengsheng had to avoid some strong Ghost Race pursuers and several Spirit Beasts.

Even with his strong Inner Strength, Li Hengsheng was nearly depleted.

Li Hengsheng hid under a riverbank to rest for a moment.

It was at this time that he remembered the painting he had obtained, which had fallen from Lord Zhou. Upon opening it, he discovered it was the one the Ji family had brought earlier.

A Painting Treasure that could discern truth from falsehood?

This truly was a rare item.

But Li Hengsheng also remembered that using it required feeding it immensely valuable heavenly treasures, and he couldn’t use it yet as he hadn’t reached the Innate Realm.

However, having this item meant if he suspected someone was with the Longevity Sect in the future, he could use it for interrogation.

Li Hengsheng then felt a sharp hunger, having not eaten anything for over two days.

But looking around, there was nothing edible, and Li Hengsheng realized he had no idea where he was. The place was strange, eerily devoid of sounds from birds or beasts, making him feel as if he had entered an ethereal realm.

After waiting for a while more, the sun finally rose.

Despite the sunlight, Li Hengsheng felt no warmth, only a greater coldness.

Because the sunrise meant that the Archbishop of the Longevity Sect was likely aware of events here.

Unbeknownst to Li Hengsheng, the Archbishop had already figured it out and was leading people to find him.

Having rested enough, Li Hengsheng climbed up from the riverbank, intent on finding out where he was and which direction he should head next.

But as Li Hengsheng climbed up, he found himself on a vast, desolate plain, with no mountains nearby to provide cover, save for a few withered trees dotting the landscape, leaving everything else in plain sight.

If he ran here and others pursued him, he wouldn’t find a single hiding place, quickly leading to his discovery. Li Hengsheng also knew his speed couldn’t outmatch some Grandmasters or even Great Grandmasters.

He’d be discovered within minutes.

But on the other hand, Li Hengsheng noticed a distant, dense purple fog, unusually eerie, blocking the view entirely and obscuring whatever lay within; only that from a distance, Li Hengsheng sensed endless danger lurking within.
