Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: Cunning Old Fox

(Monday ranking rush, ten-Chapter burst, please brothers vote in support. If this week we can charge into the top thirty of the QQ Browser recommendation votes, next Monday we’ll burst again.)

In just a short moment, Kunlun Elder flashed over from the horizon and landed in front of Zhang Bin.

With a face full of shock he said, "You Jiuxuan is really still alive? How is that possible?"

"Of course it’s true..."

Zhang Bin quickly gave a brief explanation.

"Truly badass, he really deserves to be an old ghost at the Peak of Ascendant Realm." Kunlun Elder said with open admiration, "Within the space turbulence, it’s extremely dangerous. Once a Soul enters, it basically collapses and falls completely. But his Soul can actually remain intact—this isn’t luck, it’s terrifying strength."

"What strength? It’s nothing but luck. If the spatial rift hadn’t devoured some of his Blue Fire, which just happened to be controlled by his secondary soul and used as protection, he’d have died long ago in the space turbulence. Mo Tunyu survived for the same reason—protected by Cyan ** Fire, he escaped from the space turbulence." The Light of wisdom shot out from Zhang Bin’s eyes.

"Right, right, your analysis is correct. Truly a top-tier genius, your intelligence is outstanding." Kunlun Elder praised, "He had only just completed Soul Seizing and you already discovered him. You’re very lucky. And his Earth Escape ability definitely isn’t strong. I’ll go down and look for him; with his current Strength, killing him would be like killing a dog."

"Then I’ll trouble you with that. I’ll monitor him from above; he definitely won’t escape a radius of a hundred li."

Zhang Bin spoke with complete confidence.

Very quickly, Kunlun Elder burrowed into the soil and started searching for You Jiuxuan.

As for Zhang Bin, he rose into the air and released a vast Divine Sense, carefully probing.

Meanwhile, Tutu also hacked into White Swan Country’s satellites, meticulously monitoring this entire area.

The reason Zhang Bin didn’t personally dive into the earth to search was that he was worried about being ambushed by You Jiuxuan.

If You Jiuxuan suddenly launched a sneak attack with Blue Fire, he really wouldn’t be able to block it.

He might be turned to ash in an instant.

"I have to kill this old demon."

The three goofballs were also filled with fury, all roaring madly in their hearts.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as they wished.

After about half an hour, Kunlun Elder came back up, with no trace of joy on his face.

Zhang Bin immediately had a bad feeling, flew down, and exclaimed in surprise, "You didn’t find him?"

Kunlun Elder tossed a Teleportation Array refined from ordinary railway track onto the ground and said angrily, "Truly badass. All these years I’ve never admired anyone, but You Jiuxuan forces me to admire him. He’d actually made preparations long ago—he dug a hole underground, placed a simple Teleportation Array in it, and used it to teleport away."

"Impressive, truly impressive, worthy of being You Jiuxuan."

Zhang Bin also spoke with admiration.

You have to know, You Jiuxuan had only had three days since his Soul Seizing, yet he had already prepared for being discovered and needing to escape.

How seasoned was that?

No wonder he was an old ghost who had lived for three million years.

"I think it’s because he was scared shitless by Senior Brother."

"He’s just afraid of death, nothing much."

"Coward..."

The three goofballs were all unconvinced, protesting one after another.

"You really shouldn’t look down on him." Zhang Bin said, "He just completed Soul Seizing and had no Treasures at all. How difficult is it to refine a Teleportation Array? Yet he still managed it."

"He controls terrifying Blue Fire, but because it hasn’t properly fused with the body yet, he hasn’t derived very strong spiritual power. So he refined the Teleportation Array using ordinary iron blocks—it can only be used once." Kunlun Elder added, "To refine several single-use Teleportation Arrays, he searched everywhere for scrap iron and spent so much effort. That’s not something an ordinary person could do."

"If he hadn’t set up Teleportation Arrays, he would have had absolutely no way to survive this time. That’s wisdom—this is where he’s formidable." Zhang Bin said solemnly, "So the future You Jiuxuan will be even harder to deal with. It won’t be easy to completely wipe him out."

"No matter how cunning he is, he’s just a lone Commander without troops, so what can he do?"

Ma Rufei said, unconvinced.

"Yeah, yeah, he’s all alone; we don’t need to be afraid of him at all."

"Our Taiqing Sect is so powerful, with so many experts—why would we fear him?"

Chen Chaoyue and Zhang Haijun also spoke with clear dissatisfaction.

"Then if you run into him, how will you deal with him?"

Zhang Bin’s gaze burned into them as he spoke in an icy tone.

"Of course we run, run as fast as we can."

Ma Rufei blurted out.

The other two goofballs nodded repeatedly.

"Not bad, not bad."

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhang Bin’s face. When encountering You Jiuxuan, the only option was to run.

Because You Jiuxuan had Blue Fire protecting his body, Zhang Bin had no way to kill him, and the three goofballs were even less capable.

"Pfft..."

Kunlun Elder burst out laughing, an extremely strange expression on his face.

Clearly, he also felt the three goofballs were rather ridiculous.

"Old man, what are you laughing at? If I were as strong as you, I obviously wouldn’t run."

Zhang Haijun actually wasn’t afraid of Kunlun Elder at all.

"I’m laughing at the parts of you that are funny."

Kunlun Elder didn’t get angry; smiling with narrowed eyes, he finished speaking and then turned his gaze onto Zhang Bin’s face. "Zhang Bin, how do you plan to respond?"

"Please give me some guidance, Elder. If you were You Jiuxuan, how would you take revenge on me?"

Zhang Bin asked seriously.

Kunlun Elder was also an Ascension Realm expert, though he had only cultivated to the Initial Stage.

He simply wasn’t as powerful as You Jiuxuan.

However, he was the expert closest to You Jiuxuan in level.

His way of thinking might be similar to You Jiuxuan’s.

"The vast majority of You Jiuxuan’s Soul Energy was wiped out by the Heavenly Tribulation, leaving only two legs, and they drifted in the space turbulence for many days. Not much is left." Kunlun Elder said, "On top of that, because he used Soul Seizing, to fully recover his Strength will take at least ten years. For someone as cautious as him, he won’t do anything he’s not sure about. So he’ll keep cultivating until he reaches the Peak of Ascendant Realm and has absolute confidence before he comes for revenge."

"If that’s the case, then it really is troublesome. He can recover to the Peak of Ascendant Realm in just ten years—even if he only cultivates to Ascension Realm Late Stage, he’ll basically be invincible under heaven. In ten years, can I cultivate to the Divine Tree Realm? That’s simply impossible. Dragon Vein Elder said that Cultivation can’t soar in one step. Sudden leaps are an illusion; you can’t become a true giant that way." Zhang Bin’s brows furrowed deeply as he muttered, "Is there any way to lure him into coming for revenge earlier?"

"That’s extremely difficult. If you didn’t know he’d been resurrected, then he might risk attacking you. But now that you know, you’ll definitely make preparations. If he comes to attack you, or your family and friends, he’s very likely to step right into a trap—it’d be the same as courting death. After all, in his current state, all it would take is several Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivators who’ve mastered the Space Dao Law joining forces to bind Space, making it hard for him to sink into the ground so quickly. Then using an attack similar to your Divine Red Sun method or a Yellow Thunderbolt attack would be enough to annihilate him. Or you could set up an Array Plate and lure him into it—using the Array Plate’s Strength, you could easily kill him as well." Kunlun Elder said, "He knows his weaknesses very clearly. He won’t be that foolish."
