Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 801 - The Reinforcements Hastened

Chapter 801: The Reinforcements Hastened

In the sky, a brilliant luster flashed. The luster enveloped 2 figures, which were Master Kurong and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One that hurried from the Beast King Sect.
Although there were 3 of them together when they left the Beast King Sect, Yuqi the Venerable One eventually lagged as expected. Normally, Master Kurong and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One would definitely slow down to not embarrass Yuqi the Venerable One.
Nonetheless, even if they wanted to care for Yuqi the Venerable One at this moment, he would not appreciate it and would urge them to go ahead first.
After all, the old macaque—the Beast King Sect’s other pillar—was attacked this time. What worried them more was the fact that Ou Yangming was the main target. Judging from the old macaque’s thought, it sounded like Master Ou was likely fraught with danger.
They had just confirmed Ou Yangming to represent Danzhou in the Big Smithing Competition against Zhangzhou, but a misfortune happened so quickly.
None of them would be able to remain calm at this time.
Master Kurong and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One were formidable top-grade Venerable Ones, but they were not deities, after all, and could not travel 500 kilometers in a single breath. As such, they could only track the old macaque according to the aura on the paper crane.
All of a sudden, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One stopped flying, and its eyes lit up. “Over there!”
It descended like a shooting star and halted right before it reached the ground.
Master Kurong was following closely beside it with a similar speed. Moreover, it seemed to be able to stop more easily when it landed.
In terms of combat power, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One might be able to match Master Kurong by relying on its race’s natural advantage. Nevertheless, in terms of handling certain details, the master, who had found his path, was unquestionably more delicate and calmer.
On the ground, the old macaque opened its eyes slightly. When it sensed the unusual air around it, it immediately knew the situation it was in.
In actuality, given its cultivation base as a Venerable One, it would not have been easily hurt by Li Xin if it wanted to escape.
Despite that, the old macaque had just consumed the Eternal Pill not long ago. It had incited its potential and was born again through the fire, but its body had not recovered to its peak condition in the past. Further, the macaque did not flee at that time because it wanted to protect Ou Yangming. Instead, it confronted the top-grade Venerable One, which was almost an act of courting death.
It was worth noting that the old macaque only managed to survive because it was more naturally gifted than humans.
A solid and familiar power instantly gushed into its body, and it suppressed the surging Qi and blood inside.
It was the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s power, which had the same origin as the techniques cultivated by the old macaque. This was why it was so effective.
Following that, another energy flowed into the old macaque’s body. It was extremely rich, and it carried an unimaginably magical healing effect. In just a brief moment, the macaque’s injuries were completely oppressed.
Needless to say, once a Venerable One became injured, it would not be easy to recover.
Even so, after the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and Master Kurong joined hands to heal the old macaque, it would not relapse within a short time.
The old macaque exhaled deeply. Instead of greeting the Venerable Ones, it quickly noted, “They’re Blood Shadow and a top-grade Venerable One, who’s also a Sky-devouring Evil Remnant.” It paused for a moment before it continued, “Quickly go after them. You mustn’t let Master Ou fall into their hands!”
On the other hand, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One looked hesitantly at the old macaque.
The old macaque quickly added, “I’m already half-recovered. As long as I don’t meet force with force and focus on escaping, there won’t be a problem.”
After hearing what it said, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and Master Kurong looked at each other. The latter said sternly, “Yuqi the Venerable One’s right behind, so there shouldn’t be a problem.”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One nodded and uttered in a deep voice, “Take care.”
Before its voice died away, it and Master Kurong had soared into the sky and hastened into the distance.
The old macaque shook its slightly dizzy head. It gritted its teeth as it stood up, and it felt rather upset.
If its body had recovered to its peak condition, even though it still would not be the white-robed man’s opponent, it would not have been so weak and vulnerable. Its old and frail body became its burden at the moment.
At the spur of the moment, the old macaque was struck with a thought, ‘Master Kurong has also just consumed an Eternal Pill not long ago, but he acts entirely differently. Whether it’s his momentum or strength, they’ve reached their peaks and even went beyond that.
‘Could it be because he has found his path?
‘Is that path to Heaven really so magical…’
The old macaque had recovered a certain combat power, but it did not intend to follow the 2 Venerable Ones.
If the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and Master Kurong together could not even settle the issue, it would not be of any help if it dragged its beaten body over there. Perhaps it might even be unhelpful.
A strong piercing sound was heard coming from the sky once more. The old macaque did not need to look up to know that it was Yuqi the Venerable One.
Sure enough, Yuqi the Venerable One’s voice was heard next. “Elder Macaque, are you alright?”
The old macaque looked up and sighed. “I’m ashamed for failing my task of escorting Master Ou.”
A look of shame could be seen on its old face. It was actually a simple task, but it was screwed up by it. Though the attacker was a top-grade Venerable One, it was not reconciled to the outcome.
Yuqi the Venerable One looked around with a questioning look on his face.
The old macaque cleared its throat and said, “10,000 Beasts and Kurong have left to pursue them. I hope that they’ll be able to bring Master Ou back.”
Yuqi the Venerable One was relieved. If those 2 figures joined hands, there would not be many things that could not be solved by them in the Spiritual Realm.
He curbed his thoughts and assured the old macaque. “Elder Macaque, you don’t need to worry. The most important thing for you now is to return to the sect to recuperate. The Beast King Sect can’t lose you now!”
As said by Yuqi the Venerable One, he and the old macaque were the only top-notch combat powers in the Beast King Sect at the moment. If something were to happen to one of them, it would be difficult for the other to achieve anything. In the end, the sect’s position among the Humans’ Nine Great Sects would decline.
The old macaque nodded. “Don’t worry, now that the sect is rising, I won’t close my eyes before I witness it dominating Danzhou.”
Yuqi the Venerable One fell silent for some time before he uttered, “If Master Ou..”
He did not go on, but the old macaque had a grave look on its face. It looked up into the distance and mumbled, “I hope that he’s safe and sound.”

A blood light suddenly appeared and left a giant arc in the void at an unbelievable speed, then it fell into the forest below once more.
After activating the Blood Condensation Spear’s Combination Skill and completely exploding it, Ou Yangming finally gained a chance of survival and fled from the fearsome Li Xin. It was true that he managed to get away, but he knew the outcome would be the same if he still could not get rid of the man.
The Blood Flight Art caused him to be incredibly exhausted, and it made him feel dizzy. Having said that, he reached into his interspatial bag right away.
Plenty of flesh and blood of spirit beasts were stored inside the interspatial bag. In fact, those that belonged to the 10,000-legged Venerable One could be found inside.
Ou Yangming knew it would be very wasteful for him to compensate for his losses with such precious flesh and blood, but he would not hesitate at this life-or-death moment.
The giant head inside his sea of consciousness boiled and rose. It did not get out of his body, but its Devouring attribute absorbed immense life force from the flesh and blood without an end. By the time the young fellow landed on the ground, he had recovered half of the energy that he lost.
Subsequently, he flashed and left his spot using a peculiar body technique.
This time, he did not run swiftly after he left his spot. Instead, he retrieved the Concealment Cloak from his interspatial bag.
The cloak was Fat Antelope’s biggest contribution to him, where even Venerable Ones would not be able to spot him if he put it on.
Of course, before the terrifying powerhouse had caught up to him, he would not stop.
Far away, following a deafening explosion, the shards of the Blood Condensation Spear dispersed.
The spear’s power had exploded at an extremity, but it still could not threaten Li Xin’s life. However, the brief delay gave Ou Yangming the opportunity to take flight.
Li Xin stared into the distance with an indescribably frightening look in his deep and cold eyes. Odd yet forceful auras lingered around him, and his heavy pressure made everyone feel that a disaster would happen soon.
Even Blood Shadow, who was a Venerable One, shuddered with fear as well.
He looked at Li Xin fearfully while countless thoughts crossed his mind.
Li Xin suddenly smiled sinisterly, and his expression became more hideous than before. He looked quietly around him and commented coldly, “Interesting—this is really interesting…” Afterward, his eyes flickered as he uttered, “Find him!”
He flew away as soon as he finished.
The people that were glanced at by him felt like a bucket of cold water had just been poured on their heads, causing them to feel ice-cold. They watched him leave, but they dared not relax at all, thus they quickly hurried in the direction where the blood light went.
Blood Shadow’s eyes flickered. He suddenly flicked his fingers and left a strange aura here.
That said, he had not only done it secretly, but his aura also carried a Venerable One’s unique ability. Under the situation where Li Xin had gone far away, nobody else would be able to notice it.
In actuality, even if Li Xin was present, as long as he did not have anything on Blood Shadow on the spot, he would not suspect anything.
After all, since Blood Shadow stayed here, it would be very normal for him to leave a hint of his aura here. Nonetheless, Li Xin could not have guessed how long it would take for the aura to disperse, and he could not have realized how many powerful auras Blood Shadow had left behind throughout their pursuit…
