Chapter 278: Scarlet Star Spear

Since they came the day before, it didn’t make sense for them to remain exposed. They would have left in order to not run into any trouble.

The reason he went was because of the way Chen Sanyang set up the formation the day before. He felt that the runes could serve as inspiration for him to craft talismans, and he decided to take the risk to return.

There was also a trace of hope that the other party would leave traces that he could use to trace them back to where they were going.

Of course, Shang Xia didn’t forget about how three Martial Intent Realm experts of the Azure Spiritual World ambushed him when he left Kou Chongxue’s cultivation grounds previously. He wasn’t able to kill them all then, but he would take his revenge one day.

Naturally, he was destined to be disappointed. Other than a flat crater, he failed to discover anything else.

What surprised him even more was the lack of experts present at the scene. Whenever the spatial barrier was opened, energy fluctuations would alert experts in the surroundings. In the past, countless Martial Extermination Realm experts would be sent over to investigate the disturbance. Now, not a single one could be seen!

After looking through the whole area, Shang Xia discovered that no one else came! He was the only one who arrived after the traces of the spatial barrier opening formation was wiped!

He wondered when did the members of the Azure Spiritual World start behaving so brazenly in their Azure Origin World. Was it possible that the opening of the spatial barrier wasn’t discovered because it was weakened?

When Shang Xia planned to track those who came the day before down, he discovered that he made a fatal error. A strange divine sense filled the region and it tried to lock on to him.

It was another Martial Extermination Realm expert!

The strange divine sense could only belong to someone from the Azure Spiritual World! The person who arrived wasn’t an expert from their Azure Origin World!

Shang Xia’s heart sank as he started running in the opposite direction he discovered the divine sense.

He finally realized his mistake. Clearly, the opposing party wasn’t willing to expose Chen Sanyang. Chen Sanyang might have brazenly revealed his identity to Yang Zhenbiao and Qin Yuyuan, but that was because they were all on the same side. When they discovered the presence of the person who secretly followed Chen Sanyang, they knew that they miscalculated.

No matter what, they were in the You Continent. Yang Hu and several others might be siding with the Ji Continent, but they couldn’t be sure of the attitudes of everyone else. The moment Chen Sanyang’s identity was revealed, Yang Hu’s collusion with the Ji Continent and Azure Spiritual World would be discovered. If anyone started stirring trouble, the Changfeng City would be thrown into chaos. Their plan would most likely be affected.

Due to that reason, they had to know who the person tracking Chen Sanyang the day before was.

When Shang Xia thought deeper into it, he pushed himself to the limit as he escaped. With the cover of the trees around him and the special property of his divine sense, he managed to avoid the detection of any divine sense.

If a Martial Extermination Realm expert wishes to locate him, they could only do so with their sight. Because of that, he earned another chance to run away.

Running for more than an hour, Shang Xia only stopped when he discovered that he couldn’t feel the strange divine sense any longer. Heaving a sigh of relief, he started to circulate his inner qi to recover some energy.

The desperate escape attempt drained him no less than the huge battle he had in the depths of the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range when he was ambushed previously.

After escaping from Martial Extermination Realm experts from the Azure Spiritual World twice in two days, Shang Xia felt a sense of pride.

Using four whole hours to restore himself to his peak state, he hid his aura again. It didn’t take long for him to return to his appearance as an ordinary hunter.

He used the time to practice his archery skills and shot several preys before the sky started to turn dark. Only then did he leave the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range.

Along the way, he stood at the spot where he found Yan Ni’er the day before. According to her speed, it should be more than enough time to make a round trip back to the Shang Clan Manor if she rushed the whole way.

Indeed. It didn’t take long for him to hear the familiar cry in the skies.

With Shang Xia’s constant care, Yan Ni’er was no longer the same Mutated Rain Swallow he captured when he entered the battlefield between the two worlds. Her speed reached a terrifying level, and it was starting to be comparable to the Lightning Bird who refused to leave the battlefield between the two worlds.

A silver streak flashed in the air and Yan Ni’er landed on Shang Xia’s shoulders.

Very quickly, he discovered a small cloth bag hanging on her leg.

Raising both his eyebrows in shock, he didn’t understand what was so important they had to entrust Yan Ni’er to bring it with her despite her small stature. When he opened the bag up, he was shocked to discover an Embroidered Cloud Case.

Their actions were risky indeed. The Shang Clan only had three Embroidered Cloud Cases in total. Shang Xia brought back two from the Coral Forest, and he kept one for himself. He gave the one he obtained from Zhu Ying to his aunt, Shang Xi! After all, she was the spokesperson for the clan other than Shang Ke. Her Embroidered Cloud Case was only a cubic feet large. It seemed a little lacking in Shang Xia’s eyes.

As such, there were four Embroidered Cloud Cases in the Shang Clan at that moment and one on Shang Xia. Now, they sent another one to him! That wasn’t all. They hung it on a bird to send it over! If Yan Ni’er ran into trouble on her way over, the Shang Clan would lose out big time!

Holding the Embroidered Cloud Case in his hand, he could tell that it was the one Shang Xi used to own before. Inspecting the items within, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Several items appeared in his hand, and several clicking sounds could be heard as the items that emerged started to connect to each other. Eventually, a six feet long pole was formed.

A final item emerged from the Embroidered Cloud Case, and it was the tip of a spear with scarlet runes all over its surface. The tip of the spear spun in the air once before connecting to the six feet pole with a loud ‘clack’! A seven feet long spear stood tall before Shang Xia.

Shockingly, that wasn’t a low-grade weapon he commissioned Duan Hong to create! The spear was upgraded by a blacksmith of the Tongyou Institution, and it was a mid-grade weapon!

Wrapping his palm around the spear, Shang Xia felt a sense of familiarity with it. He felt that the Origin True Qi in his body was trembling in excitement and the urge to display the moves he comprehended from his understanding of the Providence Spear Art filled his heart.

Finally suppressing his raging emotions, Shang Xia took out another letter that Shang Xi wrote personally.

She wrote about the origins of the spear, but due to the lack of Heavenly Spotted Metal, they were unable to raise it up to a high-grade weapon.

“Hah. She said that the spear hasn’t been given a name. From the runes on the tip of the spear and the faint red coating, let’s call it the Scarlet Star Spear!” Shang Xia muttered.

He sent some Origin True Qi into the spear and the tip was covered with a soft glow. There were sparkles of light coming from the tip of the spear too, and they seemed to resemble stars in the night sky.

After reading the letter Shang Xi sent, he was brought back to reality by the chaotic chirping in the air above.

Raising his head, he noticed four little birds chirping loudly in the air. They were clearly sending him a warning!

With their speed, they were much slower than Yan Ni’er who arrived first. That was understandable as Yan Ni’er raced over with her fastest speed in order to look for Shang Xia. The four birds that came later discovered someone hiding in the surroundings!

Luckily for Shang Xia, they discovered his presence. After all, he failed to detect anyone!

Yan Ni’er rose into the skies again as she shot towards the forest where the stranger was located.

Shang Xia pulled on his bowstring as he sent his Origin True Qi into the weapon.

Releasing the bowstring, a sharp whistle tore through the air and pierced through a giant tree. Splinters flew through the air as the trunk of the tree burst into pieces.

Those splinters contained a lot of energy as they ripped through the area, leaving a trail of destruction.

The four little birds were smart too. The moment Shang Xia released his attack, they flew into the air.

Yan Ni’er soared high into the skies before diving down at her target.

“Interesting!” A snort came from somewhere in the forest.

With his pupils constricting, Shang Xia discovered that his previous attack wasn’t able to injure the person in the slightest.

“Yan Ni’er, get back!” He pulled his bowstring again, but this time, he no longer used an ordinary arrow. Instead, a metal arrow appeared on his bow.

Yan Ni’er was smart enough to realize that she wouldn’t be of any help against an opponent of that level and she soared high into the air after Shang Xia’s warning.

Releasing his bowstring, another arrow ripped through the air.

A powerful energy wave emerged from the forest at that moment and it went straight for Shang Xia.

The familiar feeling allowed Shang Xia to determine the person hiding in the forest.

It was the Martial Extermination Realm expert who discovered him earlier! He located Shang Xia!

A loud explosion rang through the forest as his arrow tore through another tree. As soon as that happened, a terrifying aura rushed towards him.

With a flip of his wrist, the bow disappeared. Grabbing his Scarlet Star Spear beside him, Shang Xia stabbed towards the person who just appeared.

“Die!”
