Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 795 - 334: Calm Before the Storm_3

Regarding the possibility of the Vast Realm plotting against him?

Should he be able to resolve it, he'll manage it with ease; if unable, he'll retreat to a secluded spot, where the adversary won't be able to track him down anyway.

Except if the foe carries a relic from the Vast Realm capable of sensing his location.

...

The withdrawing troops of the Three Domains from the Vast Realm could hardly have foreseen that the notorious Ning Qi had no intention of teaming up with the Celestial Fire Realm's Three Domain forces to rapidly annihilate them.

As for the choices made by Sword Ancestor and his companions amid the present circumstances, Ning Qi resolved to stay neutral.

Be it seizing the leftover nodes in the Central Domain or partnering with the Mountain and Sea Realm's cultivators there, Ning Qi would leave it entirely to them.

That said, even though Ning Qi remained unconcerned, those in the Central Domain might not overlook the matter.

In that instant, the Celestial Fire Realm's forces were hurrying toward the Upper Domain under the command of Brahma Heaven.

Brahma Heaven had always been haughty and conceited. Learning of the Vast Realm cultivators' retreat, he assumed his own fame had scared them off.

Unable to pass up such a prime chance, he promptly directed his army after the fleeing Vast Realm cultivators.

Not much later, Brahma Heaven abruptly indicated the far-off sky, guffawing: "Have you all caught sight of it?"

Those following him shook their heads in unison.

With his cultivation nearing Harmonization, Brahma Heaven's divine sense extended farther, letting him perceive what others missed.

Yet one sharp subordinate replied: "Commander Brahma Heaven, have you spotted the position of the Vast Realm cultivators?"

"Your levels of cultivation are simply too weak; none of you can match my pace."

Brahma Heaven tossed out the barb first, then proudly announced: "That's right, I've glimpsed the outlines of the Vast Realm cultivators—speed up now, and don't allow them to get away!"

All they could do was agree.

Their pace quickened further, and before long, everyone spotted signs of the Vast Realm cultivators.

The Vast Realm cultivators, of course, also noticed the army giving chase.

This band of Vast Realm cultivators consisted exactly of those from the Vast Realm's Xiahe Region.

Their leader, Fei Bing, was a remarkably composed individual with impressive aptitude.

Right then, Fei Bing looked back, his icy gaze capturing the images of the pursuing cultivators.

"Do you recognize who's trailing us?" he inquired of his nearby companions.

One among the cultivators quickly advanced to answer: "To Commander Fei, this subordinate has clashed with them in the past. Based on their garb, they appear to be from the Mountain and Sea Realm's Celestial Fire Realm!"

Fei Bing's eyes slightly tightened.

"Might they have received word from the Mountain and Sea Realm's Will about Ning Qi guiding the Three Domain armies through realms, prompting this dogged chase?"

The subordinate bowed his head and stated: "The subordinate doesn't know, but should Commander Fei require someone to block them, this subordinate volunteers to command a squad!"

Fei Bing considered briefly and replied:

"No need to detach any troops; our priority is uniting with the other two domain forces and securing nodes nearer to the Upper Domain."

"Understood!"

Fei Bing's attention fixed on Brahma Heaven at the head of the Celestial Fire Realm's pursuit, and he went on:

"Since this fellow insists on following us, let him do so. We'll observe his response upon encountering our Vast Realm's Three Domain armies—heh heh!"

"Concerning Ning Qi, even should he have reached the Central Domain, he couldn't possibly close the gap this fast."

In this way, the cultivators from the two domains—one ahead, one behind—kept hastening onward, the pursuers matching the pace of the pursued, inching steadily toward the Upper Domain.

From the rear, Brahma Heaven observed how the Xiahe Region's army had clearly detected them but refused to halt and fight, which swelled his ego tremendously!

Without doubt, it was his legendary prestige that terrified the Vast Realm cultivators into flight upon seeing him!
