Chapter 901 — Strangers in the Cell

" Cult Master Si Yuanwei rather admired him and said with a smile: "As a Dao Master, the fact that you were willing to risk your life to come out shows your conscience isn't bad. Did you come out alone? " "Two people.

" Dao Master Lin Xuan said: "There was also Daoist Cha.

" "Where is he? " Dao Master Lin Xuan pressed his lips together: "He stayed behind to cut off the pursuit.

He said he would catch up once we were far enough, and that if he hadn't caught up after an hour, we shouldn't wait for him.

" "When was this? " "Six days ago. " Dao Master Lin Xuan put his Daoist crown back on and said woodenly: "He probably took another road and missed me. I didn't keep waiting for him. Perhaps he's already reached the Peach Grove—he runs very fast. " No one asked any more. They continued on.

The Heavenly Court tower ship held more and more people, gradually becoming nearly full.

Though the Heavenly Court's tower ship was very large, it could not possibly hold all the refugees. Suddenly the tower ship gradually slowed.

Human Sovereign Qikang walked to the bow: "What's going on?

" Cult Master Yanji's palm trembled slightly as he pointed ahead.

There, more than a dozen tower ships, each dozens of li long, hung in the air, and thousands of Heavenly Court divinities aboard were resting and regrouping.

A divinity flew toward them and shouted from afar: "Whose subordinates are you? " Everyone aboard was instantly stunned, at a loss.

The divinity flew closer and shouted: "Who is your commanding general?

" "What do we do?

" Human Sovereign Yishan's voice was hoarse as he rasped: "Should we just fight? " Just then, suddenly, clarion horn calls rang out from the Heavenly Court tower ships one after another. A golden-armored heavenly god shouted: "The trail of the Divine Son of Youdu has been found!

The White Emperor summons us to go subdue him!

Follow me! " The divinity who had approached them hesitated, then immediately flew back, boarded a ship, and one after another the tower ships and great vessels tore through the air and departed. Everyone aboard broke out in a cold sweat.

"Who is the Divine Son of Youdu?

To have such a grand display that the Heavenly Court's White Emperor summons the Heavenly Court's great army to go suppress him? " the Second Ancestor murmured.

"It's Cult Master Shen.

" Dao Master Lin Xuan said: "When I was in Taihuang Heaven, I once heard people call him the Divine Son of Youdu.

" Many Dark Demon Cult Masters laughed and said: "Worthy of being the current Cult Master of our Holy Cult—his name really does ring loud!

" The successive Human Sovereigns also laughed: "What does this have to do with your Dark Demon Cult?

He's clearly the current Human Sovereign of our Hall of Human Sovereigns!

" They started quarreling again. Dao Master Lin Xuan urged: "The Peach Grove is just ahead. Let's hurry over.

" He murmured: "Perhaps Daoist Cha has already reached the Peach Grove and is waiting for me there. " The others were somewhat doubtful—there was something not quite right about this Daoist sect Dao Master's condition.

The young Ancestor Master stepped forward and reached out to remove Dao Master Lin Xuan's Daoist crown.

He saw a broken sword thrust into Lin Xuan's hair bun, the broken blade sunk deep into his brain. Fresh blood flowed down from within the Daoist crown.

The young Ancestor Master stopped the other Cult Masters, put the Daoist crown back on Lin Xuan, and said: "Don't pull it out.

Pull it out and he dies.

Leave it in, and if we find someone skilled in medicine, he can still be saved. " The tower ship sailed toward the Peach Grove.

The ten-thousand-li Peach Grove was very conspicuous. They arrived at the Daoist Academy, now empty of people, and Lin Xuan went to look for Daoist Cha but did not find him.

They had the Wasteland folk disembark from the tower ship and enter the Peach Grove. The sky was now dim and lightless.

Suddenly a lamp's glow came from within the Peach Grove.

The refugees followed the light onward and vanished into the depths of the grove.

"Jingping's Jade-Faced Poison King is skilled in medicine. I'll take him to find the Jade-Faced Poison King!

" Human Sovereign Qikang hoisted Lin Xuan onto his back and said: "Everyone, take care!

" Everyone bowed: "Take care! " Human Sovereign Qikang sped off like the wind, racing all the way. Six or seven days later he reached the Yong River and came down treading the waves.

Massive tower ships flew across the sky, and suddenly several of them stopped. Human Sovereign Qikang hurriedly hid in the shadows.

He saw chains lowered from those tower ships, and then a giant cage was let down from between the ships, the chains creaking and groaning.

"My name is Wei Suifeng, my name is Wei Suifeng! " In the cage, a towering divinity was bound, chains piercing his physical body, piercing his primordial spirit, even his various divine treasuries, even his Heavenly Palace!

"Shut up!

" From the tower ship in the sky came a heavy imperial might.

A voice full of majesty said coldly: "Wei Suifeng, you once had contact with Heavenly Venerable Ling, and even possessed her hairpin.

Having been in contact with that hairpin for so long and studied Heavenly Venerable Ling's divine powers, your body and primordial spirit must have changed as well, haven't they? Using you to trade for the Ghost Ship—this deal isn't a loss, is it? " Human Sovereign Qikang hid in the shadows and saw the figure in the cage cry out fiercely: "My name is Wei Suifeng!

" Human Sovereign Qikang was startled: "This man called Wei Suifeng seems to be shouting at me that his name is Wei Suifeng. What sense does that make? " Just then, he saw beneath the surface of the Yong River a massive tower ship slowly passing under his feet.

"My name is Wei Suifeng—" the madman in the cage cried fiercely at him.
