Chapter 1952: Chapter 1952: Mi Wuya

Jin Duyi had disappeared.

As time passed, the contestants distributed around Mythical Huang Secret Realm all noticed that Jin Duyi, who had become the target of many terrifying experts, was nowhere to be seen nor heard from. It was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

“That brat has definitely gone into hiding. Conduct a search. We shall find him even if we have to dig three feet into the ground!” said Tu Qianjue with a scowl.

He had already gathered a group of Heaven and Earth Dao Court disciples and on top of that gained the support of Huangfu Shaonong. In the event that Lin Xun was found, it would only require a message to call the latter to his aid.

“Indeed. Jin Duyi must have sensed something amiss with his situation and hunkered down. Let’s all search for him together. The Mythical Huang Secret Realm isn’t big; with our manpower, it won’t take more than seven days to rake through everything,” said Zu Feiyu heavily.

At his side was a group of All-Demon Dao Court disciples, so their combined force could be described as extravagant, with no shortage of experts in the top thirty of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings.

Moreover, neither Tu Qianjue nor Zu Feiyu was at all worried about encountering any opponents during the search.

After all, any person with a working brain wouldn’t dare to confront such a huge lineup and would probably bolt in fear at the first moment.

In another area, the group of Primordial Dao Court disciples led by Kong Zhao was also searching for Lin Xun’s whereabouts in a raging fashion. They looked like they were not going to stop until they found and killed Lin Xun.

Under this vigorous hunt, many contestants who were laying low all over the secret realm groaned.

Most of them were the type who had a mastery of stealth or concealment arts. Their plan was to hide and avoid the fierce fighting in order to stick to the end of the competition since they had already lost all hope of competing for life talismans.

However, now that a massive force was searching for Lin Xun, their hiding places were also unearthed in the process. Countless numbers of people had gotten conveniently eliminated by Tu Qianjue and Zu Feiyu.

“Abominable Jin Duyi! He really couldn’t care less about others when he got himself into such big trouble! There is no longer anywhere to hide in this Mythical Huang Secret Realm!”

“We’re finished. With no place to hide, how can people like us compete with those disciples of the Great Six Courts and Great Ten Battle Clans?”

Many people complained and cast aspersions on Lin Xun.

……

Deep in a land of ice and snow.

“Come! There’s an underground cave here!”

When Zu Feiyu, Tu Qianjue, and their group searched through the area, the sight of an ice cave appeared in their spirit senses.

At this instant, an inexplicable chill ran through their hearts as they sensed a faint but dangerous aura.

“This can’t be Jin Duyi’s hiding place, can it?” said one of them.

Meanwhile, some were confident in their numbers and wanted to blast open the cave, but they were stopped by Zu Feiyu.

“Don’t move! Be careful!” he said with a grave look that was rarely seen on his face.

“This isn’t Jin Duyi’s aura.” Tu Qianjue’s expression also changed.

“Could it be…?” Yan Yurou’s pupils shrank as she seemed to have a guess.

Seeing that the three leading figures who were in the top ten of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings all looked like they were facing a great enemy, the rest of the group grew serious and vigilant. �

The atmosphere also became oppressive and solemn, with only the sound of the chilling wind and blowing snow.

“Jin Duyi? That person is so strong that all of you have to band up just to gain the courage to deal with him?” a voice as plain as water abruptly resounded in the snowy world.

Every word was like the echo of the dao, indistinct and undefined yet hitting straight at one’s heart!

The expressions of Zu Feiyu, Tu Qianjue, and Yan Yurou changed drastically.

They saw a slender figure emerge from the ice cave. Then, with just a light step, he already appeared outside.

Behind the whistling wind and drifting snow, this white-haired man looked utterly ordinary in his white robe, exuding no aura to speak of.

However, their hearts jumped in fright when they met his eyes, feeling as if they had been stabbed by a peerlessly sharp sword. It gave them goosebumps all over.

How would one describe his eyes?

Clear as water, still as a mirror, but they seemed to reflect the whole universe. As lights pulsed in those eyes, one could see the sun, moon, and stars rise and fall in them!

At that instant, every single person there felt alone despite their numbers. Facing the white-clad man, they were indescribably suffocated and nervous.

“Mi Wuya!” uttered Zu Feiyu under his breath.

The three short words seemed to possess a strange power that made them stop breathing and drained color from their faces.

So it was him, the legend who had reigned supreme on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings for six hundred years, the unparalleled expert who had the attention of the entire nebula!

He, too, was considered invincible in the Supreme Saint-King Stage!

It was because he had never lost a single battle since the moment he had ascended the peak of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings, and no one had ever been able to shake his position!

A bitter and helpless feeling welled up in everyone’s heart. Never in their wildest dreams had they expected to dig out such a terrifying existence in the hunt for Jin Duyi.

Tu Qianjue took a deep breath and respectfully cupped his fist. “Please forgive our crude action, Brother Mi. We’ll leave at once.”

Even though he was also in the top ten of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings, he was far inferior to a legendary figure like Mi Wuya. This left him with no choice but to bow his head.

With that, he wanted to lead the crowd away.

However, Mi Wuya indifferently said, “Leaving? After you disturb my meditation like that? Leave your life talismans behind and I’ll let you go.”

The demand was flat and emotionless, but it shook Tu Qianjue’s group to their core and stopped them in their tracks.

“Everyone, take out your life talismans!” said Zu Feiyu through gritted teeth.

Through the rumors, he was clear that Mi Wuya’s mind was as steady as still water and his temperament like iron. It was required that people acted in accordance with his word because what he said, went.

If they refused to, then Mi Wuya would show them the price of disobedience through action!

Zu Feiyu was the first to hand over his life talisman, followed closely by Tu Qianjue and Yan Yurou.

When the others saw this, they were shocked by Mi Wuya’s influence. At the same time, they also obediently handed over their life talismans.

After all of this, everyone suddenly wondered the same thing—

If Mi Wuya hadn’t been hiding away since the start of this competition in Mythical Huang Secret Realm, then how many people would have been eliminated at his hands?

If he had the intention to harvest life talismans, then who would be able to keep theirs safe from him?

Meanwhile, Mi Wuya didn’t even look at those life talismans but instead asked, “Last question, who is Jin Duyi?”

Zu Feiyu was stunned for a second before he answered, “A participant from Cloud State. His battle prowess is unfathomable. He’s a monster that cannot be gauged by common sense…”

He praised Lin Xun without mincing his words or stuttering once.

It was quickly apparent to Tu Qianjue and the others that Zu Feiyu was trying to pique Mi Wuya’s interest, which might lead to him making a move against Jin Duyi!

If a character of Mi Wuya’s caliber were to strike, how could it not be the end for Jin Duyi?

After listening to the whole thing quietly, Mi Wuya raised his eyes and stared at Zu Feiyu, “Really?”

Zu Feiyu inexplicably tensed up, but he still gathered the strength to reply, “Absolutely, yes.”

Mi Wuya nodded. “In that case, this Jin Duyi is indeed a character to be reckoned with. But don’t think that I can’t see your true intention. I know you just want to use me to deal with him.”

Zu Feiyu’s expression froze a little. Just as he was about to explain himself, Mi Wuya continued, “If Jin Duyi is able to enter the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, then perhaps I will test what he’s capable of.

“You can leave, but make sure this will not happen again.”

After saying that, Mi Wuya vanished into thin air.

The crowd exchanged glances before turning to leave the snowy land without hesitation. Only when they were out of it did they heave long sighs of relief.

“Mi Wuya just keeps growing stronger. In front of him, I felt like an insignificant being looking up at a lofty mountain.” Zu Feiyu revealed a complicated expression.

“I heard that he already possessed the ability to become a supreme quasi-Emperor several hundred years ago, and he’s only been restraining his cultivation level because he is waiting for an opportunity,” murmured Yan Yurou.

Not only Zu Feiyu, but she also felt an unprecedented pressure when facing Mi Wuya.

“It’s a pity that he didn’t take interest in Jin Duyi.…” sighed Tu Qianjue.

“It’s not like Mi Wuya is the only capable one. You don’t think we can exterminate Jin Duyi with so many people? Let’s go.” Zu Feiyu took a deep breath and marched forward.

The others hurriedly followed.

……

Meanwhile, on the Mythical Huang Main Peak outside, the expressions on the Emperor judges’ faces who saw all of that were a bit strange.

Someone asked, “Fellow Daoist Yun Yan, Mi Wuya is a disciple of your court. Do you know what level on his dao path he has reached?”

All gazes immediately fell on Great Emperor Yun Yan of Panwu Dao Court.

Great Emperor Yun Yan smiled faintly, and with heartfelt pride, he said, “In my opinion, this child Mi Wuya is unprecedented in the Supreme Saint-King Stage, even when compared to the past or present. He has no rival in his generation.”

Unprecedented in the Supreme Saint-King Stage!

Unrivaled among his peers!

Through such a short comment, he crowned Mi Wuya as the number one supreme Saint-King in all history!

This caused quite a stir in the hearts of many Emperor experts, while the others disagreed but were unable to refute it.

After all, Mi Wuya had already dominated the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings for six hundred years. It was as though he was truly invincible at this stage!

“Wrong.” Xia Xinglie suddenly scoffed. “Yun Yan, try not to put feathers in your own disciple’s hat, will you? Even if we put the current era aside for a moment, we still have an unrivaled, unreachable menace who was once worshiped by the whole nebula as absolutely invincible in the Saint Stage!

“Compared to that person, this kid Mi Wuya still falls a bit short of the mark.”

As soon as this remark dropped, quite a few people revealed unnatural expressions.

Absolutely invincible in the Saint Stage!

In history, only one person had ever been given such a title.

It was just that he had come from Fangchun Mountain, an organization that many Emperor experts present were unwilling to mention.

Emperor Yun Yan was quite annoyed and couldn’t help but retort, “Xia Xinglie, don’t you think you’re going overboard to compare a dead sinner of the ancient era to Mi Wuya?”

Xia Xinglie boomed with laughter. After throwing his head back and draining his cup, he slapped his own thighs.

“‘Who dares to claim to be invincible in the Saint Stage? Only Xuan Kong of Fangchun Mountain!’ Who in the Ancient Nebula Road hadn't heard of this saying back then? You think I’m being too much, Yun Yan, but it’s my honest opinion. Mi Wuya…is just inferior to Xuan Kong!”
