Chapter 738: Counter-Kill
The Zixiao Blessed Land, Heavenly Execution.
This was the core stronghold of the Heavenly Execution Dao, and also the Warden Lou Yuheng's dao field.
The entire Heavenly Execution stronghold hovered above a sea of clouds ten thousand zhang deep, its foundation cast from a single block of meteoric iron from beyond the heavens, spanning a full thousand zhang.
Lou Yuheng stood at its edge, hands clasped behind his back, his mind in some disarray.
When Zhang Xunguang had volunteered to intercept and kill Chen Qing, he had not stopped him.
In his view, this Dao Son of the Ice Origin Dao possessed extraordinary aptitude, his cultivation exceeding Chen Qing's by an entire minor realm, the odds of success had seemed considerable.
Not to mention, the Evil-Purging Division had also dispatched Xin Licheng and two other fifth-layer Primordial Spirit experts to bolster the formation. A force of this scale surrounding and killing a junior who had only just entered the third layer should have been all but guaranteed.
Yet two days had passed, and still no word of victory had come back from the Evil-Purging Division.
This made him realize that matters were not as simple as he had imagined.
