Chapter 493: The Bloody Commotion Caused by Two Fish

　　Yun Shu hid in the dark. She was having an internal battle.

　　‘To rescue or not to rescue. That is the question.

　　‘If I rescue her, I would be facing the wrath of the Yunhuang World. Even if I fight alongside Goddess Nuwa, we’re outmatched. I’ll be on the run, too. There are too many powerful cultivators in the Yunhuang World! It’s too dangerous.

　　‘However… Maybe I can get on Goddess Nuwa’s good side. The risks might pay off in the end.

　　‘If I don’t rescue her, this will be like watching a good show. That’s all.’

　　She thought about the situation of her world and tightened her grip.

　　Then, she looked at Goddess Nuwa. Goddess Nuwa had the Lotus Lantern to protect her but she was in danger. The defense of a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure was amazing but her opponents were powerful. Some of them had deadly weapons, too.

　　Yun Shu made a decision. She instantly went over to the battlefield. “If not now, when? No opportunities will fall in my hands if I don’t seize it!”

　　She shifted and took out a mirror. She tossed the mirror.

　　At that moment, a deadly black broadsword was attacking Goddess Nuwa!

　　Boom!

　　Every chop sounded like demon howls. It was bone-chilling. The black light of the broadsword was darker than the Chaos itself. It had an unstoppable force. The Lotus Lantern was shattering.

　　It kept attacking, and the chopping was getting stronger. The deafening noise affected her Primordial Spirit.

　　Goddess Nuwa did not dare to fight back. She was stuck from the horsetail whisk strands. She felt helpless against the group attack.

　　Jet black light surrounded Goddess Nuwa on the fourth chop. Goddess Nuwa was pale. The Lotus Lantern flickered like it was about to go out.

　　She tried to hold on. Suddenly, a mirror appeared. It expanded with the wind and blocked the broadsword’s light.

　　Meanwhile, the mirror activated its extreme light. The Chaos was instantly brightened. Everyone felt like the mirror weakened their aura.

　　Cultivators fought with their eyes, Primordial Spirit, and by sensing auras. They instantly felt like they went blind. They could not target anyone. It was only for a moment but it was sufficient enough for an escape.

　　“Cultivator Nuwa, run!”

　　Yun Shu lifted her hand and slashed at the horsetail whisk strands. She hurriedly escaped with Goddess Nuwa.

　　Everyone in the Yunhuang World snapped out of it. They chased after them.

　　The elder with the horsetail whisk stood still. He gazed upon the endless horizon.

　　The elder with black robes slowly walked toward him with the black broadsword. His black robes moved with the wind. He was magnificently graceful and deadly. His aura had the Power of Slaughter.

　　He asked, “Cultivator Qingfeng, why didn’t you chase after them?”

　　Longevous Qingfeng smiled. He asked mysteriously, “What do you think, cultivator Tianyuan?”

　　Longevous Tianyuan pouted. “Ha. I’m not a schemer like you. Just tell me what you want to do next.”

　　Longevous Qingfeng looked around. He had to say, “Master Longevity died. Everyone in the Yunhuang World’s more cautious. Only you and I are brave enough to chase after her. Everyone else are sneaky elders who observeice-cold!”

　　He paused. Then, he said, “But they can’t see what I see. I’m good at calculating predictions. I can tell this lady has a big secret!”

　　“Big secret?”

　　Longevous Tianyuan’s eyes flickered. He frowned and asked, “Tell me this. Why did that lady come to our world? Was she there to capture two fish?”

　　“She indeed only captured two fish.” Longevous Qingfeng shook his head. He calculated with his fingers. Then, he said, “I can’t tell, but don’t mind the details. I should tell you that the other lady has… Chaos Spiritual Qi on her!”

　　Longevous Tianyuan was stunned. “Chaos Spiritual Qi? Are you sure? What should we do?”

　　“We should wait for the big fish to take the bait!”

　　Longevous Qingfeng laughed coldly. He looked like he had it covered. He said slowly, “Control your powers. Don’t attack them too hard. Let’s see where they will run to in the end. We should dig out this big secret little by little.”

　　Longevous Tianyuan nodded and laughed. “Nice!”

　　…

　　Goddess Nuwa and Yun Shu ran for their lives in the Chaos.

　　Goddess Nuwa said, “Cultivator Yun Shu, I didn’t know you would come and save me.”

　　“Now’s not the time. Wait until we’re safe.”

　　Yun Shu was pale. She was unsure whether she made the right decision. She looked at the two fish on Goddess Nuwa. She had to say, “Cultivator Nuwa, I think you can toss the fish and apologize to them. Perhaps we can escape safely.”

　　She could not believe that she was running for her life because of two fishes.

　　They did not look like treasure either. If she died for fish, it would be awful.

　　Goddess Nuwa shook her head without hesitation. She said sternly, “No. These two fish are crucially important. I can’t let anything happen to them.”

　　Yun Shu noticed how serious Goddess Nuwa was. She had to whisper, “Are you saying that there’s a secret behind the two fishes?”

　　Goddess Nuwa glanced at Yun Shu. She shook her head. “This is too important. Forgive me, I can’t tell you.”

　　‘Cultivator Nuwa’s hiding something!’

　　Yun Shu was intrigued. She did not blame Goddess Nuwa. Instead, she felt sort of happy. She was filled with excitement. She felt like she was getting closer to a huge opportunity.

　　“Don’t move, demonic ladies! Leave the fish and surrender. We might spare your lives!”

　　Someone yelled from behind. A giant golden net shrouded them.

　　The net contained Power of Law. It sparkled as it approached them like a giant claw.

　　However, something happened.

　　The golden light reflected and solidified. The reflected golden light also became golden nets. They surrounded Goddess Nuwa and Yun Shu from all directions.

　　They were suddenly like fishes in a net!

　　“Ha. Puny tricks!”

　　Goddess Nuwa had an ice cold face. She smudged the Lotus Lantern. A rainbow light shined. It instantly outshined the golden net. The two of them continued to flee.

　　Yun Shu also sneered. She asked, “You’re only a Quasi Saint. Do you think you can stop us?”

　　The bunch of cultivators behind them all had treasures. However, it was nothing to them. They could wipe them out with effort.

　　The black broadsword appeared again. The jet-black broadsword’s light appeared in the Chaos. The stars were turned to dust once they touched the black light. It was above Goddess Nuwa and Yun Shu.

　　‘The attack of a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal!’

　　Even in the Yunhuang World, the attack of a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal would be earth-shattering.

　　Back then in the Eldritch World, the Dragons, Fire Phoenixes, and Kirins were only Quasi-Saints. They ruined the realm. So, one could imagine how destructive it was when Saints battle!

　　Therefore, anyone who was a Quasi-Saint had to battle in the air or in the Chaos. They were extremely powerful.

　　Goddess Nuwa and Yun Shu worked together. They activated their Lotus Lantern and mirror at the same time to block the broadsword’s light.

　　Yun Shu ran while she scolded, “It is only two fishes. Is this necessary? Come on!”

　　Goddess Nuwa frowned. She also felt like something was off.

　　Master Longevity chased after her in the first place because she crept into the Zhengyi Sect. However, she was being chased because of two fishes. They were not some sort of treasure. It was a bit odd.

　　‘Is it necessary?’

　　She could not figure it out. In the end, she saw it as the Yunhuang World being bossy.

　　Goddess Nuwa did not look happy at all. She said, “Yun Shu, let’s sense while we run. Can you tell how many cultivators are after us?”

　　Yun Shu looked happy after a while. She said, “It seems like there’s only one Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. The rest are all Quasi-Saints.”

　　“Phew—Good.”

　　Goddess Nuwa sighed in relief. She quickly generalized their capabilities.

　　Goddess Nuwa and Yun Shu were Saints in the Prehistoric World. However, they were no longer Saints when they were separated from the Prehistoric World. They were not as capable anymore. They would not win against a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal.

　　However, if they returned to the Eldritch World, they could borrow the strength of the realms to fight back. Before that…they had to be extra careful.

　　They continued to scurry in the Chaos. They kept shifting and changing their directions. They would attack from time to time, too. Finally, they realized that there were no signs of the Yunhuang cultivators. Goddess Nuwa felt relief. She continued heading toward the Eldritch World.

　　Goddess Nuwa said, “Follow me!”

　　The cultivators saw Goddess Nuwa and Yun Shu run in one direction. Longevous Tianyuan with the broadsword had to grin. He said in a low voice, “The fish…has taken the bait!”
