602: Two Yu Qianhongs?

What on earth is going on?

The Hall Master of Luohong Hall just killed her own Great Elder, who had just broken through to the Ninth Transformation.

Chen De never imagined that he would witness such a dramatic scene upon arriving here.

Could it be that the Great Elder got cocky after his breakthrough and wanted to rebel? Was he really that impatient?

Even if the Great Elder was stupid, Yu Qianhong shouldn't be, right?

If she really wanted to kill him, she could have just done that. Why did she have to destroy all four layers along with him?

It's her own property. If the Great Elder didn't care, doesn't the Hall Master care either?

Of course, Chen De was just joking.

After a brief observation, he noticed that Yu Qianhong's state seemed a bit off.

Her aura was chaotic and disorganized, and her vacant eyes held a trace of frantic ferocity.

This didn't look like a simple cleaning of the house.

Had she suffered a cultivation deviation?

Regardless, Chen De didn't care. He needed to find the right moment to make his escape.

The Great Elder, who had just finished his breakthrough, was killed in a single move. Crucially, all his life force was erased; that was the primary cause of his death.

Otherwise, for someone in the esteemed Immortal Law Realm, simply having their head cut off would definitely not be fatal.

"Hall Master! Please wake up!"

An old man with white hair and a white beard cried out in sorrow, but as soon as he spoke, he was torn to shreds by Yu Qianhong.

He was the Third Elder of Luohong Hall, a peak Eighth Transformation of the Immortal Law Realm, though his foundation wasn't as deep as the Second Elder's.

Stepping forward now against Yu Qianhong, who could insta-kill the Great Elder, was simply seeking death.

"Hall Master, please wake up! I am Lu Tong, you even held me when I was a child... Ah!"

At that moment, another elder spoke up and was likewise instantly killed without question.

There wasn't just one or two elders like this; many elders proactively rushed forward, shouting.

"Hall Master, wake up!"

"Stop the killing!"

"Hall Master!"

"Hall Master!"

"Wake up quickly!"

...Chen De didn't understand why they were doing such meaningless things.

However, he didn't care to manage them; he only cared about making his own escape.

Yu Qianhong seemed to be annoyed by the shouting, and she suddenly slammed a palm downward.

Immediately, with her as the center, everything in existence—including the elders, disciples, and the fourth layer—began to dissolve into nothingness.

The remaining three layers also seemed to collapse inward, stepping into destruction from the inside out simultaneously.

When this wave of power reached Chen De, he could only barely withstand it.

Fortunately, the previous third layer had been quite effective; besides breaking through to the Eighth Transformation, he had also allocated some attribute points.

Although he couldn't compare to the Immortal Law Realm Ninth Transformation, he was basically invincible within the domain of the Eighth Transformation.

So, mere fluctuations weren't a big deal, but then came the most critical part.

Yu Qianhong's palm strike actually cleared out everything within countless light-years.

Even the strange space that housed the Luohong Hall headquarters was forcibly wiped out by that single strike.

He, Chen De, now had nowhere to hide and could only use the power of the Evil God Essence to conceal himself.

Standing in the empty starry sky, he looked at Yu Qianhong not far away.

He wasn't going to have to die again, was he?

He had only just died once!

It was precisely because he died once in the Amaterasu Star Field that he had the chance to come here.

He hadn't expected to die even faster after arriving here.

The city's schemes are too deep; I want to go back to the countryside.

At this moment, Chen De was doing his best to conceal his presence.

He hoped that Yu Qianhong wouldn't discover him because of her unstable state.

Fortunately, after delivering that palm strike, the opponent seemed stunned, standing still in place.

Since she didn't move, Chen De didn't dare move at all.

He was terrified that any movement might create a disturbance in an unknown domain, which would then be detected and lead to his demise.

After all, different realms offered different perspectives on the same thing.

He might have concealed all disturbances within his own perception, but if he was detected through something beyond his perception, it would all be in vain.

So Chen De didn't dare move—he really didn't dare move.

But in the next moment, Chen De noticed a speck of light not far away, which happened to be moving in his direction.

Under that terrifying strike just now, a light source could still exist?

Yet Yu Qianhong seemed completely unaware of it, turning a blind eye to the speck of light.

Within the speck of light, Chen De detected several auras; they should be some survivors from the fourth layer.

Because although the other three layers were further away, their realms were too low, and they weren't that far from the fourth layer.

If there were survivors, they could only have come from the fourth layer.

Aside from that, there was one more reason, which was his primary basis for judgment; everything else was just speculation.

Within the speck of light, there were several beings at the Eighth Transformation of the Immortal Law Realm, and even one at the peak of the Eighth Transformation.

This made Chen De instantly realize that this might be an opportunity.

He couldn't stay here with Yu Qianhong forever; if it took too long, he might even seek death just to escape.

Then, Chen De simply calmed his mind and waited, preparing to strike... "Second Elder, what on earth happened to the Hall Master?"

"So powerful, yet so... abnormal?"

"Yes, at this point, it's time to talk about these things."

Hearing the inquiries from the group of elders around him, the Second Elder of Luohong Hall, Qi Cheng, frowned deeply.

"Second Elder, it's already come to this. What else is there that can't be said?"

At this point, an elder with significant standing spoke up.

He was the Fifth Elder, and in terms of seniority and generation, he was even older than the Great Elder.

Qi Cheng sighed, "You are right. At this stage, there is nothing that cannot be said."

"However, it's a long story. Let's wait until we have escaped from here and are out of mortal danger before we talk."

Seeing that the Second Elder had spoken thus, the other elders didn't feel right pressing him further.

They also had some doubts—specifically, why the Hall Master hadn't attacked when this speck of light was so obvious.

But as Qi Cheng said, now was not the time to talk.

Once they reached the position of the old fourth layer, they could teleport directly to other places.

As for the Hall Master and Luohong Hall... After calming everyone down, Qi Cheng began to ponder.

Those still here, aside from some elders and true disciples, included some clansmen within their respective Inner Worlds.

In the future, where should their Luohong Hall go?

Should they seek refuge with the other Nine Sects of the Sacred Ring, or find another way to develop?

This accident came so suddenly that they hadn't even gathered their cultivation resources.

Just as they passed a certain position where the third layer used to be, they seemed to hit something, and the speck of light suddenly flickered with a ripple.

Qi Cheng's expression changed drastically, "Oh no, initiate the teleportation early!"

As he spoke, he immediately began to operate the mechanism.

At that moment, a woman's figure appeared around the speck of light—it was Yu Qianhong.

However, at the center of the fourth layer, Yu Qianhong's figure was still standing there.

Could it be an afterimage left behind by extreme speed?

But in Chen De's perception, both seemed real, and on the system map, two red dots were displayed.

He realized: were there two Yu Qianhongs?
