Chapter 799: He Had to Go

An Jiuyue was really tired. If Qian Jiyun had not been disposing of the corpse, she would have shut her eyes and slept.
She even thought she should return to the camp instead of looking for the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python today.
Having only heard Wei Na mention the potential side effects of infusing his Original Soul energy into her body, An Jiuyue had not given it much thought. But now she finally understood firsthand.
As Wei Na had said, he should only infuse his Original Soul energy into her body when it was absolutely necessary.
“Call me if you see the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python.”
With that, she closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
Upon seeing this, Qian Jiyun adjusted An Jiuyue’s sleeping position in his arms to ensure she was as comfortable as possible before slowly walking forward.
In Camp Ning Se…
Xue Fangyang was playing chess with Shang Ningyi when he felt a sudden twitch in his index finger. The chess piece in his hand slipped and fell onto the chessboard.
He was shocked and looked at his index finger in disbelief.
“How… How can this be…
He had two Gu worms on his index finger. When he instructed Elder Ji to go to the Black Pact Forest, he personally placed one of them on him.
He thought that if Elder Ji failed to capture the Auspicious Cloud-Devouring Sea Python, the python would eat him in the worst-case scenario, and the Gu worm would remain on the python.
This Gu worm required a living host as a medium to survive.
However, the Gu worm on his finger had alerted him that the Gu worm on Elder Ji had died.
What did this mean? It meant that Elder Ji was most likely not killed by the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python, let alone a demonic beast, but by other humans.
The humans on Huayan Peak had killed Elder Ji.
He had sent two outstanding guardians from Camp Xue Yang to accompany Elder Ji.
Who could kill these three people at the same time?
People from other higher planes? Had they also heard of the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python and learned about the inter-plane travelers? Xue Fangyang’s expression darkened at the thought of this possibility.
“Lord Xue Yang? Lord Xue Yang?”
Shang Ningyi saw Xue Fangyang’s panicked expression and called out to him a few times. However, there was no response.
“Lord Xue Yang, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” he asked Xue Fangyang in a louder voice.
He knew that Xue Fangyang’s people had left Camp Ning Se today, but he did not know where they had gone. They were Xue Fangyang’s people, so he did not have the guts to send people to track them down.
Who would send their own people to their deaths, knowing they were not strong enough for the task?
Having had his thoughts interrupted, Xue Fangyang looked down at his fingers and saw that there were no white chess pieces left. He clenched his fists to conceal his panic.
“I suddenly remembered I have something to do. Ningyi, I’ll head out for a while. I’ll be back soon.”
He could not care less about Shang Ningyi now. He only wanted to rush to the Black Pact Forest to find out what had happened to Elder Ji.
Elder Ji’s abilities were second only to his own in Camp Xue Yang.
If multiple people attacked Elder Ji, overpowering and killing him, he could accept it. But if there was only one…
He dared not imagine whether he would meet the same fate as Elder Ji if he encountered that person in the future.
Hence, he had to go.
Ignoring the way Shang Ningyi looked at him from behind, he left quickly..
