Chapter 3695 Regrouping


    "Mhm~"


    Shirley looked into the distance with her hand stretched above her eyes,lookingas though shewastrying to spot something, but she could barely make out the difference when thesightin front of her was covered in mountain ranges.


    However, turning to look back, she saw the mammoth crystal tree.


    "Phew… getting out would be near impossible if these crystal beasts weren''t easily fooled, falling for feints and tricks…"


    "You''ve angered them. They''reprowlingaround, looking to kill anything in sight. It''s a miracle that we''ve escaped…"


    Dewzai''s voice echoed by Shirley''s side.


    She was… headless.


    Shirley turned to look at Dewzai, not knowing whether tough or cry.


    Indeed, Dewzai was back in her body, able to repossess it even without a head. However, this was only temporary as long as she was in her body; intense pain would continue to reverberate in her soul over losing her brain.


    Shirley inwardly sighed, wondering if immortals were even human.


    She found ita bithard to grasp that the immortal body could be restored as long as the dantian containing martial energy survived, in other words, the Immortal Vessel, since itcontainedboth lower and middle dantian. However, she wasn''t in a position to gripe when her nirvanic soul could revive her three times,pletely healing her body and soul back to health.


    "Don''t stare at me…"


    Dewzai wore awidehat a few centimeters above her neck andhad it coveredby a veil on all sides.Her head was slowly regenerating from the neck and would eventually house the soul seathat she had escaped outwithin her true soul.


    Shirley could see the silhouette of a skull already, slightly bloody, meaning the muscles around the head were already regenerating. She knew this kind of quick healing was only possible due to Dewzai being a fey, an Emperor-Tier Feyat that.


    Magical beasts always had a higher regenerative capability than humans, so their wounds healed quicker than most races as long as the wound wasn''t intense in energy. Otherwise, remnant energy would gue her.


    For the same reason, Dewzai wasn''t able to heal the arm she lost, including one of her eyes. Shirley doubted they would regenerate unless Dewzai decided to take the appropriate medicine.


    Her lips curled, knowing if she tried to move Dewzai''s veil and see her skull face, she was going to be pissed. She didn''t go far with her teasing as she folded her hands and looked into the distance, "Let''s go. I sense my big sister is this way."


    "How do you know?"


    "Just a hunch~"


    Shirley said, but she lied.


    Evelynn had imnted a dyed hex on her body.Thiswas to bypass the Candidacy''s initialization if possible, and sure enough, their things were taken away, soitems would''ve been useless.


    Some effects from battles may have also been removed, but that would''ve been unfair, so they bet on the tracking hex not being erased.Then, they made it appearin a dyed manner, so even if some nasty effects were somehow removed in the beginning, the tracking hex wouldcontinue toremain.


    The same goes for Isabe, so they should be able to sense each other as long as they arenear each other. This ''near''was defined by the amount of time passed. The more time it passed, the more distance theywere capable of sensingthe tracking hex from until it reached the technique''s limit.


    It took her two hours to leave that mammoth tree region she wanted nothing to do with as there was nothing other than thosehugespherical crystal fruits and the dangerous gargantuan Empyrean Crystal Beaststhat wereguarding them.


    As delicious as the crystal fruits were, she didn''t want to vainly use her life up to get one.


    The Empyrean Crystal Beasts werepletely pissed that she had seen a few inheritors die to them because they couldn''t see their attacking. She could onlyment those who venture into that region without knowing the situation.


    She had tried escaping south since shecamefrom the north, but the Empyrean Crystal Beasts were condensed in the south, leaving her no choice but to return the same way she came.but aftershe climbed a mountain and walked further north, she sensed Evelynn''s presence although it disappeared.


    She guessed that Evelynn might''ve gone out of range for some reason, entered a Hidden Pagoda, was defeated and dealt a killing blow, got caught insomekind oftrap that sealed space, or even left the Crystal World using the Crystal Gate.


    With so many spections, she didn''t dare think Evelynn was killed, hoping she entered a Hidden Pagoda or something.


    *Tack!~*


    At this moment, the fourth seal in her broke, causing Shirley to blink.


    Her cultivation base rose to Level Four Immortal King Stage!


    Quickly, she sensed Evelynn''s presence through the hex as it heateduplightly between her brows, causing her eyes to light up.


    She gestured at Dewzai, "Come, let''s go~"


    "Don''t be so excited. Watch out for the other Candidates. Many would''ve already be Immortal Emperors as we''re just waiting to explodeoutwith power and eliminate others. Assassinations would be frequent…!"


    Dewzai warned, but Shirley hopped away like a princess from a fairy tale, causing Dewzai to gnash her teeth. However, the sound she made was horrible, like a skeleton rattling, so she shut her mouth in embarrassment and continued to follow Shirley.


    They passed two moremountains,tall and mighty. There were also a few crystal mountains but they ignored them.


    Then, they had to pass through a grassy in, whichwould makethem more vulnerablein terms ofbeing spotted, so Shirley finally reeled herself in and concealed herself using her ice phoenix powersandcontinued to make her way while Dewzai did the same.


    However, they doubted it wouldbe ofhelp since a Level Six Immortal Emperor''s soul sense could easily detect them if they intentionally swept the ins. Fortunately, their soul senses didn''t extend much in this space,so thatwas good for them.


    Eventually, they made it past the grassy ins safely.


    There was a crystal mound in the middle of the grassy ins teeming with Early Immortal Emperor Crystal Beasts, but they ignored it as usual.It wasn''t worth the effort to attract attention to themselves right now as theywere still weak.


    Climbing up, theywere makingtheir way to the othersideof the mountain, but Shirley canceled out her concealment and ran, causing Dewzai to flinch.


    "Wait…!"


    She sent a soul transmission, but Shirley didn''t heed it, so she ran straight up the mountain.


    "…!"


    Dewzai followed her, wondering if she had spotted a treasure that needed instant plundering or if it would be taken away. However, when she caught up to Shirley, she saw her in a deep hug with another woman, causing her to blink.


    "Big sister, it''s only been a day and a half, but I missed you so much!~"


    Shirley jumped like a little girl while embracing Evelynn, causing thetter tough.


    "I missed you too, Shirley~"


    Evelynn and Shirley celebrated their reunion.On the other hand,Dewzai and Rea Tyriel had just arrived, raising their brows at each other as they turned slightly hostile.However, Evelynn and Shirley looked like they were in theirownworld, firmly holding each other as they shared the warmth of family. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    They could even feel the hardships they had gone through, knowing it wasn''t easy to survive here.


    "Have you seen Isabe?"Quickly, Evelynn asked.


    "No, I didn''t sense her. I can''t sense merose and Frostrose either, but if our bloodlines resonate, we should be able to sense each other.By now,I also guessthey would''ve be Immortal Emperors, so they might start ring up their bloodline after being able to handle themselves.We only have to wait for them..."


    "Alright…"


    The two of them let go and looked at each other''spany, wondering what wasgoing on.


    "Big sister, this here is Dewzai. She''s an Emperor-Tier Fey of the Devilish me Fox n, but we met and went through dangers together, so she shouldn''t be dangerous until the new trials, I think..."


    Evelynn nodded, "You don''t need an introduction for Rea Tyriel, right?"


    "Aha~"


    Shirleyughed, her gaze locking on Rea Tyriel.


    "Great, now there''s two of youwhomI can''t beat."Rea Tyriel harrumphed, "This is ridiculous…"


    "Make that three~"Dewzai stepped forward, causing Rea Tyriel to raise her brows.


    "You''re more injured, so I have plenty of chances to defeat you."


    "…"


    Dewzai wasn''t able to refute that.However, shedefinitelydidn''t want to be the weakest here,causing her to takea step forward andmakeher power known.


    However, Shirley raised her hand, stopping her.


    "Let''s not fight, or if you two want to fight, don''te with us. Let''s go, big sister~"


    Shirley grabbed Evelynn''s arm and looked like she wanted to be doted on, causing Dewzai to blink.


    To have such respect for Evelynn, was sheextremely powerful…? Or was it because she was the first wife of the Divine Emperor of Death and had much favor?


    She didn''t know but wanted to see.


    The four of them started to move.
