Chapter 369: Pulling the Rug

Ancient Domain Divine Pool.

When Gu Heng and his group arrived, the place was completely empty. There wasn't a trace of the Ancient Domain Divine Pool left.

Gone again?

Gu Heng was practically losing his mind. Gu Bei was truly trying to wipe him out! Not content with destroying the Black Cloud Divine Pool, he'd gone and destroyed the Ancient Domain Divine Pool too!

"They couldn't have left long ago!" Gu Heng was on the verge of going berserk, practically hysterical. "Search within a radius of dozens of li! The rest of you, follow me to the Thunder Divine Pool — I'll kill every last one of them!"

Even if he slaughtered Gu Bei and his people, it wouldn't ease his fury in the slightest. If Gu Bei died, he could just revive at the Soul Palace. But if a Divine Pool was gone, it was gone for good!

"Gu Bei, I won't let this go!" Gu Heng ground his teeth. Every time he thought about those lost Divine Pools, it felt like someone was stabbing him in the heart, one blade at a time.

Gu Heng's forces began a frantic search for Nie Li and the others, especially toward the Thunder Divine Pool.

Along the road leading to the Thunder Divine Pool, members of the Demon Alliance and the Tianxing Alliance were flying at top speed.

"Gu Heng's people are catching up. What's our plan?" Li Xingyun looked at Nie Li and asked. By the time they reached the Thunder Divine Pool and took it, Gu Heng's forces would likely arrive almost at the same time. It was going to be a fierce battle.

"It's fine. We keep pushing toward the Thunder Divine Pool. That's Gu Heng's last Divine Pool. Once we take it, even if we're completely wiped out, it'll be worth it!" Nie Li said. After securing all three Divine Pools, Gu Heng's foundation would be completely uprooted. What was there to fear?

"Take his last Divine Pool, and let's see how he tries to hold his ground in this world!" A flash of hatred crossed Gu Bei's eyes as he remembered Gu Lan, once paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. A surge of intense loathing rose within him.

Gu He had made his move against his sister — he should have known this day would come!

Everyone accelerated together, racing toward the Thunder Divine Pool.

Thunder Divine Pool.

Once Nie Li and the others arrived, they realized the situation was off. A full three thousand guards protected the Thunder Divine Pool!

When Gu Heng had dispatched forces to reinforce the Ancient Domain Divine Pool, he'd also sent extra troops to bolster the defenses here.

"There are quite a lot of people guarding the Thunder Divine Pool," Li Xingyun said with a frown.

"Escort me inside!" Nie Li said after a moment's thought. Though the enemy was numerous, Li Xingyun and the others should have no trouble escorting him to the center of the Divine Pool. All he needed was to capture the Divine Pool's divine root.

"All Tianxing Alliance members, listen up — escort Brother Nie Li and charge in!" Li Xingyun bellowed.

"All Demon Alliance members, listen up — escort Boss Nie Li and charge in!" Gu Bei shouted as well.

By now, the Thunder Divine Pool's guards had formed a formidable defensive formation, eyeing the Tianxing and Demon Alliance forces with hostility.

"Kill!"

The battle cry shook the heavens. Li Xingyun, Gu Bei, Lu Piao, and a group of Celestial Transformation Realm powerhouses charged at the forefront. They were all wearing sixth-grade treasure sets, so they had nothing to fear even against other Celestial Transformation Realm fighters. The two sides clashed into a chaotic melee almost instantly.

Nie Li and Xiao Yu followed right behind, pushing toward the center of the Divine Pool.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
