Especially during that recent Heavenly Spirit Spring auction, when Zhou Muyang took action himself, but still let the other party escape.

That battle

made Zhou Muyang certain that the former Emperor Extreme Great Saint hadn't perished but left a remnant soul in that cultivator, enabling a Master to escape from a Daoist Palace Realm powerhouse.

"Let's not forget," he said, "that the Emperor Extreme Great Saint did not truly fall. Although now only a Remnant Soul remains, the methods of a Great Saint are by no means ordinary.

If we really let this go unchecked, when a Great Saint returns one day, I fear we will all face reckoning!"

Zhou Muyang looked at the other cultivators present and spoke a truth that made everyone feel despair.

A Great Saint Realm powerhouse!

Even if only a Remnant Soul remained, its profound strength was absolutely not to be underestimated.

This point

could be seen from the battle just before.

If they had known earlier that the Emperor Extreme Great Saint hadn't died, they might not have laid hands on that Master cultivator, but on second thought, this possibility seemed slim.

After all, the temptation of the Great Saint Inheritance was too great; a Great Saint's Remnant Soul was not enough to deter them.

So

now knowing that the Emperor Extreme Great Saint was not dead, the matter of seizing the Great Saint Inheritance became secondary. The real issue was how to completely suppress that Ancient Great Saint.

Otherwise

when the day came that the Emperor Extreme Great Saint truly returned to his peak, who could stand in his way?

Even the Zhou Family, with its profound strength and history of producing several Saints, could not confidently say they could confront a Great Saint.

Upon hearing this,

Liu Ruofeng's expression turned ice-cold: "Elder Zhou is right. When the Emperor Extreme Sacred Land was destroyed, many of us here were involved, to varying degrees. Just this fact alone means we're already standing in opposition to the Emperor Extreme Great Saint.

Now we've taken action, coveting the inheritance that was left behind.

Such deep grudges can only be resolved with life and death."

"At present, this Ancient Transfer Array cannot be easily repaired, so we should first disperse our forces to pursue the fugitive, and only make a decision once we locate him!"

As Liu Ruofeng spoke, the others nodded in agreement.

Given the current situation, that was all they could do.

Who would have expected that there was an Ancient Transfer Array hidden here, and a one-time use one at that?

If they had known earlier, they might have called upon their forces' Holy Weapons to personally suppress the enemy.

After all, while a Master might not necessitate the use of a Holy Weapon, the Remnant Soul of a Great Saint certainly justified it.

Unfortunately

the Remnant Soul of the Emperor Extreme Great Saint had concealed itself too well, and they had only learned of its existence during the previous battle.

If they had known sooner, all factions would have directly used the Holy Weapons to suppress.

There is no medicine for regret in this world.

Now, given the circumstances, all the forces could only issue a manhunt.

The Southern Domain was so vast, they held a glimmer of hope that this one-time Transmission Array hadn't teleported far, and even if Gu Xiu had left, he would still be within the bounds of the Southern Domain.

Otherwise

the Ancient Desolate World was so expansive. If the other party was intent on hiding, finding them would be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack, an arduous task.

"Hmph!"

Zhou Muyang stared at the broken Ancient Transfer Array and, with a cold snort, tore through the void and left.

"I take my leave!"

Wang Xuan had no desire to stay any longer, said these words offhandedly, and then left as well.

One by one, the cultivators departed, and in a short while, the vast valley was left with only the people from the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land.

Looking at the Transmission Array before him for a long time, Liu Ruofeng sighed.

"Let's go!"
