Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1096: Killing Gu Chengwu

Shang Xia eventually used 5 attempts to craft 2 True Space Restriction Palm Talismans.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t able to continue crafting talismans. Instead, he didn’t have any more time.

Because of their agreement, Yun Hu once again entered the Mo Continent.

Keeping his treasures, Shang Xia casually tapped his palm and a wisp of cloud appeared. It started to swirl about rapidly and looked to be extremely energetic.

Back then, Yun Hu managed to track Shang Xia because he hid a trace of qi in Shang Xia without him noticing. However, he was destroyed after their first meeting.

The strand that Shang Xia revealed was something Yun Hu left behind during their meeting in order to better facilitate communication between them.

The wisp of cloud qi contained Yun Hu’s Void Origin, and Yun Hu was able to discover Shang Xia’s location the moment it was revealed. At the same time, Shang Xia was also able to learn about Yun Hu’s approximate location by reverse tracking it.

According to their agreement, the moment Yun Hu entered the Mo Continent again, he would be paying a visit to Gu Chengwu. Once he entered the Guyuan Elysium, Shang Xia would take action and carry out the assassination plan.

Since they were planning to carry out the scheme by cooperating with each other, under such circumstances, Shang Xia would choose to use the first move of his Six Harmony Rod Technique, Harmonizing Continent!

No one knew how long had passed, but the wisp of cloud suddenly paused before Shang Xia’s pupils trembled slightly.

In an instant, the aura of a True Immortal burst forth from the hidden courtyard. Shang Xia no longer restrained his cultivation as the clouds in the skies above were completely scattered. His aura smashed against the heavenly screen above and spatial cracks started forming. At the same time, the World’s Will descended and started to suppress Shang Xia. Every single True Immortal of the Spirit Faith World felt his presence and locked on to the Mo Continent.

Obviously, revealing himself was all part of the plan. Shang Xia also made his preparations and he wasn’t the least bit panicked. He started to track the cloud that contained Yun Hu’s Void Origin that had been left behind intentionally to look for the location of the Guyuan Elysium.

The next moment, a rank six talisman appeared in his hand and Shang Xia activated it with his inner qi. The Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman created a spatial tunnel that was as dark as the abyss before swallowing Shang Xia whole.

…

When Shang Xia was storing energy earlier without showing his presence, Yun Hu managed to contact Gu Chengwu who had been waiting for some time.

“Brother Yun Hu, you’re late!”

Clearly, Gu Chengwu was annoyed that Yun Hu missed their agreed meeting time.

Yun Hu apologized repeatedly before chuckling softly, “I ran into True Immortal Meng Han along the way and was held up slightly. Apologies for the wait! Brother Gu, I hope you understand!”

The next moment, Yun Hu revealed a hesitant expression and mumbled, “However, I feel like she knew something about our deal… She has been trying to probe something out of me during the entire exchange. Brother Gu, did you reveal anything about our secret transaction?”

Gu Chengwu’s expression sank instantly and he growled, “Brother Yun Hu, what’s the meaning of this? Are you suspecting me?”

Yun Hu waved his hands hastily in response. “Of course not, I wouldn’t dare! Brother Gu, please don’t misunderstand. It’s just that these assholes from the Azure Roaming World are like sniffer dogs… As long as there’s any benefits to be gained, they’re rushing over to split a portion of it. If not for…”

“Alright, enough!” Gu Chengwu interrupted Yun Hu’s complaints unceremoniously and he didn’t seem to care much about the third tier True Immortal before him even though he was a level weaker. He snorted impatiently, “Brother Yun Hu, if you’re still going to waste time here, I’m going to leave. Are you planning to let others discover your presence in my territory?”

Yun Hu quickly silenced himself. He simply cupped his fists as a sign of apology.

A scornful light flashed in Gu Chengwu’s eyes when he saw Yun Hu’s act of deference. However, he didn’t show his disdain too obviously and he muttered, “Brother Yun Hu, let’s continue this conversation in my Guyuan Elysium!”

After he spoke, a spatial gate appeared in the void and Gu Chengwu entered the Elysium as his invitation rang softly in Yun Hu’s ears.

When Gu Chengwu turned around, Yun Hu, who maintained a humble smile, narrowed his eyes. A sharp light flashed in them but he quickly concealed his frosty glare as he followed behind. He also didn’t forget to chuckle softly, “Haha… Every time I enter Brother Gu’s Elysium, I feel like I’m entering paradise… It’s a truly relaxing experience!”

The moment Yun Hu stepped into the Elysium, the spatial gate behind him closed and severed any connection Yun Hu had with the outside world.

As one of the only third tier True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World, Yun Hu was like a beast who entered the hunter’s territory once he stepped into another person’s Elysium. Even with Gu Chengwu’s cultivation at the second tier Martial Void Realm, he was confident of fully suppressing the other party with the assistance of his Elysium.

That was also why they always interacted inside the Guyuan Elysium. Other than the fact that their conversations would be fully hidden from the outside world, it was so that Gu Chengwu could ensure his safety.

Since Yun Hu was the person who wanted to make the deal, he had no choice but to listen to Gu Chengwu and enter the man’s territory.

However… The situation this time was completely different.

The moment Yun Hu entered the Elysium, a powerful aura from a foreign expert covered the Spirit Faith World.

Even in the Guyuan Elysium, they managed to feel the disturbance.

There was no doubt about it. There was only a single person who could cause such a massive disturbance at the moment. No one knew why the foreign True Immortal would intentionally reveal himself at that moment, but they could tell that he wasn’t far away from the Guyuan Sect at the moment…

Gu Chengwu straightened his back suddenly and growled, “Brother Yun Hu, that rat is close by and we should pause our deal for today! Since you’re here, you should join hands with me to deal with this Foreign True Immortal Shang!”

As he spoke, Gu Chengwu seemed to be laughing to himself about how lucky he was. There was a third tier True Immortal beside him to provide assistance! If he had to fight the foreign True Immortal in his territory, his sect would probably collapse from the shockwaves of the battle if not handled properly!”

As soon as he spoke, Yun Hu also rose into the skies. He grunted in a low voice, “Yeah! I should be working together with someone, but today, I’m more willing to join forces with True Immortal Shang!”

“Huh?” Gu Chengwu was shocked. A chill ran down his spine and he quickly distanced himself from Yun Hu.

Unfortunately, they were too damn close to begin with. Yun Hu circulated his inner qi and activated his Void Origin without holding back. He fully sealed off the space around Gu Chengwu.

“Heh? You dare to make a move on me? Don’t you know that this is my territory?” Gu Chengwu sneered suddenly.

The Guyuan Elysium seemed to roar to life as soon as the words left his lips. The power of the Guyuan Elysium started to pour over to strengthen Gu Chengwu. At the same time, it attempted to break the spatial seal Yun Hu created.

The next second, Gu Chengwu felt a crack forming in the spatial barrier around the Guyuan Elysium. It was so powerful that nothing could stop it! A spatial tunnel connected directly into the interior of the Elysium before a pitch-black spatial gate started to take shape. A figure emerged from within but before he could even see the appearance of the newcomer, a massive rod came crashing down. It seemed to contain the power of a foreign world as it slammed directly into Gu Chengwu!
