Chapter 2434 - The Progenitors Attack
Dao-Seeking City
Old Man Heart Demon stood over the city gates. His eyes were as clear as twin lakes, and their depths shone with a strange light.
“They really did go to the Thousand Deaths Mountains... I just knew that Su Yi would choose to break our encirclement there,” whispered Old Man Heart Demon. “After all, it’s the only forbidden zone near Dao-Seeking City.”
“If you knew that, why come to Dao-Seeking City?” Progenitor Huang Qi asked with a frown. “Wouldn’t it have been better to head to the Thousand Deaths Mountains directly?”
Old Man Heart Demon sighed. “Knowing their destination is one thing, but making arrangements takes time. I most certainly didn’t anticipate that Su Yi would be so ruthless as to kill his old friends after the battle outside Dao-Seeking City, much less that he’d leave so much sooner than expected.
“That aside, I was concerned that Su Yi would bluff. What if he pretended to leave for the Thousand Deaths Mountains, only to return to Dao-Seeking City in secret? That would unquestionably be even more troublesome.
“It seems that nothing of the sort has happened, but I cannot deny that his timing has caught me off guard.
“Still, it’s not too late to change course,” said Old Man Heart Demon. “Now that we’re certain that they really are headed to the Thousand Deaths Mountains, this should be simple.”
He’d only just said this when Progenitor Huan Yan, who’d said nothing this entire time, grunted in agony. Her ethereal face paled.
Old Man Heart Demon’s gaze focused. “Your clone was destroyed?”
Progenitor Huan Yan nodded. “I couldn’t keep him from leaving. It seems he really has become more dangerous after breaking into the Undying Realm.”
Old Man Heart Demon pondered that briefly. “The time has come to lay all of our cards out onto the table. No amount of scheming will do us any good. If we want to win, we have to reveal our true strength.”
