Chapter 6024 Interception
Chen listened quietly, his mind racing.
Working with Yu Wuji was obviously very risky; if they were found out, both of them would be in trouble.
But the benefits are also clear: a powerful ally in Protoss-controlled territory, an ally who understands how the Protoss work, and a glimmer of hope for saving Musa’s mate.
This is indeed a high-risk gamble. But David came to seek revenge and uncover the truth, and has long ignored life and death.
He stood up, walked towards Yu Wuji, and extended his hand.
“I admire the Lord’s candor today. We will avenge Senior Musa and investigate the secrets of the Divine Clan.”
“If given the opportunity, I would like to join hands with the Palace Master to fight for justice for the Jade Immortal Palace and for all oppressed beings in the Thirteen Heavens!”
David’s hand gripped Yu Wuji’s tightly, and thus a fragile alliance was formed.
However, the flames of revenge and investigation in David’s heart did not subside; instead, they burned even more fiercely.
Just hurting Yun Ting was far from enough.
He needs to gain deeper and more direct access to the core of Protoss civilization!
“Tuan Yu…”
David released his grip, his gaze sharp. “Will Envoy Yun Ting return directly to the Hall of Divine Punishment after leaving?”
Yu Wuji shook his head: “No. This trip is just a routine one to collect offerings and soul crystals from various forces in the Eastern Region. The Jade God Palace is just one of the stops along the way.”
“As usual, he will continue on to the next location, which should be the Xuanbing Valley in the northern part of the Eastern Region. He will only return to the Divine Punishment Hall to report after all missions are completed.”
“Mysterious Ice Valley… how long will it take to get there?” David pressed.
“At the fastest it will take half a day, and at the latest one day. The jade chariot he rode in is indeed not slow, but it carries many offerings and has a fixed route and delivery procedure, so the journey will not be too fast.”
Yu Wuji seemed to have guessed David’s thoughts and frowned, “Young friend Chen, perhaps you…”
“That’s right.”
A cold glint flashed in David’s eyes. “I want this Yun Ting envoy to stay forever. Then, I’ll use his identity for my own gain.”
“NO!”
Yu Wuji suddenly said with a serious expression, “Yun Ting is a Sixth Level God, and an elite of the God Race. He is not an easy opponent.”
“He’s surrounded by dozens of divine guards, none of whom are ordinary. Even if you can injure him, your chances of winning in a head-on fight are slim.”
“Furthermore, a Divine Race envoy has died overseas, which will definitely infuriate the Divine Punishment Hall. They will send even more powerful individuals to investigate thoroughly, which is too risky!”
However, David appeared confident: “Sir, there’s no need to worry. I’m confident in our ability to fight head-on.”
“As for the risks… since I have decided to become an enemy of the gods, I have already disregarded life and death.”
“If I can infiltrate the God Clan’s fortress with Yun Ting’s identity, obtain information, or even get in touch with the secret of the Soul Crystal, this risk is worth taking.”
He paused for a moment, then looked at Yu Wuji: “After all, this is the first step in our cooperation, isn’t it? If I can’t even handle an injured Yun Ting, how can I talk about shaking the God Clan?”
Yu Wuji felt shaken when he saw David’s calm yet very confident gaze.
This young man was not only extremely brave, but also seemed to have some kind of hidden trump card.
Maybe… he really could do it?
After much thought, a flash of determination appeared in Yu Wuji’s eyes. Since the bet was already placed, why not go all in?
“Good!”
Yu Wuji said in a deep voice, “After Yun Ting leaves my Jade Immortal City, his route to Xuanbing Valley will definitely pass through the Black Wind Gorge.”
“The terrain there is dangerous, the spiritual energy is chaotic, and spatial turbulence is frequent, making it an excellent location for an ambush. I can give you a detailed map.”
“But……”
He solemnly instructed, “You must kill them with one blow, leaving no survivors or traces!”
“Furthermore, Yun Ting must have some secret treasure or restriction that allows him to immediately contact the Hall of Divine Punishment. We must be extremely careful, and it would be best to immediately imprison his soul to prevent him from sending messages or self-destructing!”
“Oh, I see.”
David nodded.
Searching for souls was the initial plan.
They not only want to kill, but they also want to extract memories.
The two discussed the matter privately for some time and worked out the details.
Yu Wuji provided David with a clearly marked route map and information on some life-saving and communication methods Yun Ting might have.
David then entered the Demon Suppressing Tower, using the time inside to further adjust his condition, digest what he had gained from training with Yu Ranran, and push his combat power to its peak.
Even though only half a day had passed outside, inside the tower it felt like decades had passed.
David quietly left Xiuge, still avoiding the unsuspecting guards, like a ghost in the dark, and left Yuxian House, speeding towards the Black Wind Canyon that Yu Wuji had pointed out.
He didn’t use any overly flashy movement techniques or magical treasures, but simply used the power of chaos to simulate an ordinary escape light, yet his speed was incredibly fast.
Black Wind Canyon is located between two towering mountains that are always surrounded by strong black winds.
The canyon is deep and steep, with strange black whirlwinds roaring year-round. These whirlwinds can not only impair one’s senses but also disrupt spatial stability and communication fluctuations to a certain extent, making it a natural treasure trove for assassinations, robberies, ambushes, and premeditated murders.
David arrived early, carefully surveyed the terrain, and chose a spot where the canyon turned, the cliffs on both sides were steep, and the black tornado was at its most violent and chaotic.
He did not form any complicated formations, but silently merged his own chaotic power with the disorderly spiritual energy around him and the violent black wind vortex, as if he had become a part of the canyon environment, and his aura completely disappeared.
He hid and waited, like the most patient hunter.
About two hours later, the familiar sound of a phoenix and the roar of a horse-drawn carriage cutting through the air could be heard from the horizon.
A magnificent carriage, pulled by a three-headed jade phoenix and surrounded by dozens of guards in silver armor, flew towards the Black Wind Gorge following a predetermined route.
Inside the carriage, Envoy Yun Ting’s face remained grim. Although he had temporarily suppressed the injury to his chest caused by the power of chaos with a secret technique of the god race, the pain was still faintly palpable, making him feel extremely unwell.
The details of the attack on the Jade God Palace kept replaying in his mind, as did Yu Wuji’s seemingly respectful yet secretly cunning behavior, which raised many doubts.
“Speed up and pass the canyon ahead.”
Yun Ting gave the order in a deep voice. The environment in the Black Wind Canyon was extremely harsh, and he instinctively didn’t want to stay any longer.
The horse-drawn carriage accelerated and plunged into the abyss.
Just as the horse-drawn carriage reached the narrowest bend in the canyon, where the black tornado was at its peak, another unexpected event occurred!
