I Am Overlord

Chapter 642



Xiang Shaoyun and Lady Shura did not waste much time waiting around as they quickly left. Money was carrying them, giving them a chance to rest on his back. Xiang Shaoyun took the chance to quickly refine the ghostbloom's remaining power.

As he was busy escaping earlier and couldn't concentrate on refining its power, he had already wasted quite a bit of it. He couldn't afford to waste even more. He slowly gathered the remaining power into his filthless soul, allowing his soul to continue growing.

As for Lady Shura, she still looked pale and feeble. Her entire body had been sealed, and with her current strength, it was impossible to break free by herself. To make matters worse, the two old bastards were probably capable of sensing the seal, so they might arrive at any moment. Fortunately, they hadn't gone ahead to do the deed. Otherwise, it was very possible that they would be caught while in the act. 

Meanwhile, Winter Frost and Summer Flame were flying toward them at top speed. They had not expected Xiang Shaoyun to suddenly pull such a large distance from them. They had even lost him for a bit. If it wasn't for the seal on Lady Shura, they wouldn't have known where to go.

"That kid actually has a saint weapon on him. We need to get our hands on that weapon," said Winter Frost.

"Talk about that when we catch up with the kid. He managed to tear space apart when he had suddenly widened the distance between him and us. With our speed, we need at least half an hour to reach them. If they are able to remove the seal in time, I don't think we will be able to find them anymore," said Summer Flame. They wasted no time and moved at their top speed toward Xiang Shaoyun. 

As for Shang Jifeng, he had just arrived at Nisha Range with his men, but Xiang Shaoyun was nowhere to be found. The only thing he found was a frozen nether prison devil puppet.

His face turned ashen as he said, "Has something happened to the overlord?"

The old man beside Shang Jifeng scanned the area before stroking his beard. "Someone was killed here, his corpse completely destroyed. However, he was a few hundred years old. He is not the person you're looking for, young master."

"Uncle Chen, help me retrieve that puppet first," said Shang Jifeng as he got the others to spread out and search for trails of Xiang Shaoyun.

They did not find Xiang Shaoyun, but they did manage to find Zhu Changchuang who was in the midst of healing himself. He was in terrible shape, with one of his arms severed and a heavy injury that prevented him from leaving before he healed himself. After sitting him down somewhere random, the ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator had abandoned him and left with the excuse of chasing after Xiang Shaoyun.

The moment Zhu Changchuang was brought over, Shang Jifeng grabbed his collar and asked, "Answer me, how is Xiang Shaoyun?"

A timid look appeared on Zhu Changchuang's face as he answered, "I...I don't know..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was slammed onto the ground, causing his wounds to burst open once again.

"You really don't know?" Shang Jifeng asked with a sinister look on his face.

After a painful yelp, Zhu Changchuang said, "Uh, h-he left after rescuing the girl, and the two Sovereigns are chasing after him. I really don't know his current situation. Release me. I will swear my loyalty to your Overlord Legion." 

Shang Jifeng was overjoyed. He had a feeling Xiang Shaoyun was still alive. After getting someone to finish off Zhu Changchuang, he left with his men to look for Xiang Shaoyun. Zhu Changchuang was killed with his eyes wide open in indignation. He was a genius of his generation with a bright future, but because he had served a wrong master, everything ended for him.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun finished fully refining the ghostbloom's power. His soul power had grown, his Nether Soul Domain had expanded, and his overall condition had improved considerably.

Lady Shura said, "You should put me back in your astral cosmos sea. The seal on me is probably what they are using to trace us."

That reminded Xiang Shaoyun, and he said, "You're right. Ok, wait in my astral cosmos sea for now. I'll look for someone to remove the seal."

After saying that, he placed both Lady Shura and Money back in his astral cosmos sea. He then landed on the ground before turning invisible and changing his direction. Fortunately, he had acted just in time and avoided being captured by Winter Frost and Summer Flame, who were no longer far from him.

While staying invisible, Xiang Shaoyun ran as fast as he could, trying his best to find a city so he could teleport back to the academy. Two days later, he arrived in a small town. He found out where he was after a bit of asking around. He had actually arrived at a town under the Shang Clan's direct rule.

Shang Jifeng and his helpers have probably arrived and found nobody. They will likely think that something bad has happened to me. Looks like I need to pay Shang City a visit and see if I can meet up with him there instead, thought Xiang Shaoyun as he set off toward Shang City.

Shang City was also the Shang Clan's headquarters. Although the city wasn't as majestic and big as Dragon Phoenix City, it was much larger than Ziling City, which Xiang Shaoyun once stayed at. The place had unique architecture, and powerful cultivators were roaming the streets. An endless stream of people could be seen moving about, presenting the sight of a flourishing city.

Since Xiang Shaoyun had no idea where the Shang Clan's residence was, he had to find a place where he could look for more information. He selected the restaurant nearest to him. There, he ordered a feast for himself. He would start his work after filling his belly.

After the meal, he waved at a waiter, handed over a spirit crystal, and asked, "Waiter, do you know where the Shang Clan's residence is?"

The waiter quickly returned the spirit crystal and answered nervously, "I can't help you with that. Ask someone else."

He then quickly left.

Xiang Shaoyun was somewhat gloomy, wondering, I'm only asking for an address. Why are you so scared? 

Instead of staying in the restaurant, he left. His next plan was to explore the city for a bit. He believed he could find the Shang Clan that way. But he found that the moment he stepped out of the restaurant, someone tailed him. He could sense that the tail was only a King so he wasn't bothered. His guess was that the tail was the result of questioning the waiter.

Even better if I can bait some Shang Clan members out this way, thought Xiang Shaoyun inwardly as he started strolling around randomly. Before long, a large group of people surrounded him.

"Young lady, this is the one who had asked about us. Look at his appearance—a shifty-eyed person like him is obviously a bad person. He definitely harbors evil intentions toward us," said a person while pointing at him.

When Xiang Shaoyun heard the evaluation, he nearly coughed up blood in fury. This was the very first time someone had ever called him a shifty-eyed person.
