As a streak of me, the me Celestial Sovereign ran for his life.


    He didn''t dare to stop, for there were several Earth Immortals hot on his heels. They had suddenly appeared half a month ago, barging into his ce of seclusion, the Firecloud Cave. If he hadn''t had a special treasure thatid down a Red Dust Illusion at the cave entrance, and if he hadn''t possessed the resolve to give up on the treasure and run, his life would have already been in their hands.


    But he didn''t think his enemies would be so stubborn, and also faster! No matter how he ran, those people were always able to catch up. After the me Celestial Sovereign had used everything he had and ensured that he left behind no tracks, he realized that the other side probably had some kind of divination art. He inwardly groaned, for anyone in possession of such an art had to be an extraordinary person. Why were theying after him? He wanted to stop and ask what was going on, but he was also worried that this would mean he had lost his chance to escape, so he decided to keep running.


    He ended up running for more than half a month, but he still wasn''t able to throw off his pursuers. On the contrary, they had managed to get closer and closer. As his chances of escape approached zero, the me Celestial Sovereign was indignant. <em>In my travels across the myriad domains, when have I ever been in such dire straits? These people are going too far!</em> Since he couldn''t escape, he decided to fight.


    He immediately stopped running, quietly waiting for his enemy while recovering as much as possible for the uing battle.


    Around two hourster, a group of people appeared in the distance.


    One of them angrily smiled at the me Celestial Sovereign. "Finally stopped running? What a slippery fellow; you made us chase you for quite a while!"


    This man was Jade Truth from the Ster Net Gate.


    The me Celestial Sovereign''s flight had left him with a belly full of anger. <em>We were just going to ask you a question, okay? What were you running for, and so fast too! We wasted so many days on you!</em> As for how they had just barged in, not at all like they were just going to ask him a question, he ignored that. The two major sects had dominated the Vast Wilderness Continent for ages, and barging in was normal business, almost necessary in order to keep up their dignity and ensure that nobody underestimated them.The me Celestial Sovereign angrily red back. "This one is Hong Qianli. How have I offended you, that you would chase me so doggedly?"


    He had no hope that anything woulde of these words. Subconsciously, he expected an answer such as "On X day of X month of X year, you passed through Y ce and killed Young Master So-and-so of my sect." This was the most likely answer in his view.


    But the other side clearly had no ns to take such a clichéd route.


    Flowing Wind cut to the chase, producing the Overflowing Heaven Mirror. "We wanted to ask you if you recognized this person."


    The image of Tang Jie appeared in the mirror.


    The me Celestial Sovereign saw that it was Tang Jie and finally understood. He shouted, "So you came for his sake! If that''s the case, we have nothing to talk about!"


    He unleashed a raging sea of mes.


    Nobody had expected him to attack so suddenly, and they were caught off guard. But as there were several Earth Immortals among them, possessing formidable strength, they weren''t about to let him have his way.


    Two of them attacked, one taking out his Heavenly King Mirror, which projected the intimidating image of a Heavenly King. The other threw out a Thousand Autumns Pearl, which sought to bring calm and peace to everything.


    One treasure focused on suppression and the other focused on stabilization. Thus, even though the me Celestial Sovereign''s Origin me had absorbed the essence of the Pale Cloud me and could simte many things, this doubleyer of suppression prevented it from showing its might.


    The me Celestial Sovereign knew this was a problem and activated his True me, using his "Incinerate the World" Dao Art.


    This Dao Art was his trump card, and at full strength, its power was not to be underestimated. The two treasures failed to hold it back, and a zing cloud began to engulf the heavens.


    At this moment, a clear voice rang out. "Wildfires scourge the world, but clouds and water are the genesis of all things."


    It was Flowing Wind.


    As he spoke, a cloud flew out, bringing wind and fog that greatly weakened the me Celestial Sovereign''s world-incinerating mes, even extinguishing much of his Origin me, to his great heartache.


    It had to be understood that these Origin mes had been refined over the millennia, and the loss of so much of it all at once was extremely painful.


    Flowing Wind said, "It seems that Sir is on the same side as him. No wonder he dared to act under your name. If that''s the case…"


    Before he could finish, the me Celestial Sovereign said in surprise, "''On the same side''? You''re saying I''m on the same side as that bastard? He used my name?"


    When everyone heard him call Tang Jie a bastard, they all rxed, and Flowing Wind''s eyes gleamed. "You''re not on the same side? Then why did you attack us?"


    The me Celestial Sovereign finally realized that something wasn''t right, replying, "I thought he had sent you to kill me."


    "Absurd!" Jade Truth shouted. "This person called himself Hong Qianli and killed many members of our sect. We want nothing more than to consume his flesh and drink his blood!"


    Everyone realized that this had all been a big misunderstanding.


    s, they couldn''t reverse the battle that had already happened. And both sides had suffered losses, the me Celestial Sovereign losing his Origin mes and Flowing Wind using up many of his Genesis Clouds.


    After all, Incinerate the World was a Dao Art and couldn''t be dealt with using ordinary means. Both sides had something to wince about.


    Afterwards, they proceeded to exchange information. When the me Celestial Sovereign heard that Tang Jie had killed more than two hundred Violet Pce experts belonging to the two sects, he almost fainted.


    Even though he was an Earth Immortal, the only thing he was sure about in a battle against two hundred Violet Pce experts was his defeat. He really couldn''t imagine how Tang Jie had pulled it off.


    He immediately divulged Tang Jie''s real details.


    "His real name is Tang Jie, and hees from the Rosecloud Domain."


    Flowing Wind sent this information into the Overflowing Heaven Mirror, which erupted with light and then disyed the form of Tang Jie.


    "Found him!" everyone shouted in unison.
