Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 240 - 230: Escort

In an alchemy room of the Immortal Alliance.

After delegating some tasks to his assistant, Xie He returned to his room, seemingly preoccupied.

The reason for his emotional shift...

lay in a piece of information that a mysterious figure had given him a week ago.

He did not know how the information had evaded the perception of Feng Ao, the Dharma Phase cultivator monitoring every key location within the Immortal Alliance, to be sent to his Void Divine Realm account, but its content...

had completely overturned everything he believed.

Especially since he’d already harbored doubts, which he had matched up over the past month.

"No wonder the Alchemy Hall never lets me touch the latest elixir formulas, no wonder the Spiritual Treasure Cauldron of the Alchemy Hall has never been at my disposal, no wonder the area where I live... is always under the coverage of a Star God’s life force field. I had actually believed their so-called highest-level protection..."

A flicker of pain crossed Xie He’s eyes.

But he quickly suppressed this pain.

Even though he’d used the excuse of hitting a snag in his research due to his poor state in recent days, he avoided unnecessary emotional displays whenever possible.

Because...

He suspected that he might still be under surveillance by the Immortal Alliance.

So, now the issue was not whether he knew the truth or not.

But what knowing the truth could possibly change.

Against a behemoth like the Immortal Alliance, even as a ninth-level Alchemy Grandmaster and a Primordial Spirit cultivator who had undergone Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Tempering, he still had no chance to stir any upheaval.

Unless...

He could escape!

Escape to the Myriad Beasts Sect, the Limitless Star Palace...

With the status of a ninth-level Alchemy Grandmaster, he would be warmly welcomed by any power.

No, not the Limitless Star Palace! Their relationship with the Immortal Alliance is closer than outsiders could imagine. If the Immortal Alliance was willing to pay the price, they might very well pull him back.

Only by reaching the Myriad Beasts Sect could he truly be safe.

But...

How could he manage to escape to the Myriad Beasts Sect?

And why would anyone from the Myriad Beasts Sect risk everything to rescue him from the Ascendant Tower right under the noses of a Dharma Phase and a Star God?

What represents the mysterious power that had evaded the Immortal Alliance’s Dharma Phase?

Do they have a plan?

They told him last night to take a day off today pretending to shut doors for research, which he did; what exactly are they aiming at?

If it’s about him performing alchemy after taking him away...

As long as they can fulfill his desire for revenge, he would do his best to assist them.

Tens of thousands of thoughts hid deep within his heart, daring not to reveal even a slight hint.

This situation increasingly tormented Xie He, who had never received formal training in such matters.

"Master Xie He, have you packed your things?"

Just then, a divine sense suddenly appeared in his perception.

Feeling this familiar divine sense, Xie He abruptly looked up, wondering what reaction Barton, the Star God who enveloped this area with his life force field, would have.

"Rest assured, you are safe now. You can freely express your emotions and project your divine sense, just keep it within a ten-meter radius."

The divine sense spoke once more.

"Which side do you represent? Are you approaching me because of my alchemical techniques? I am willing to perform alchemy for you, but..."

"I will personally help you with your revenge, and I can even deliver Liu Yisi to you for disposal, how about that?"

"Can you really do that?"

"Certainly."

The divine sense replied precisely, "A mere deputy minister of the Judicial Hall."

Xie He breathed heavily, clearly agitated.

After a while, he finally said, "Still, you have to tell me who you are from the start. The Myriad Beasts Sect?"

"The power to easily suppress the Dharma Phase cultivator Feng Ao and infiltrate the Star God Barton’s strength is not just possessed by the Myriad Beasts Sect or the Limitless Star Palace."

The owner of this divine sense...

who was Alkaid, after seeing that the alchemist had cleared his thoughts and reached sufficient cognition, also provided an answer: "I come from the Nine Cauldrons Sect."

"The Nine Cauldrons Sect?"

Xie He was taken aback, then his eyes widened in surprise: "That’s impossible… I remember the Nine Cauldrons Sect is not such a powerful sect, how..."

"What you see may not be the truth. The hidden power of the Nine Cauldrons Sect is much stronger than anyone imagines, just like you can’t imagine how easily I can evade the perception of Feng Ao and Barton and communicate with you."

Alkaid’s divine sense carried confidence for the Nine Cauldrons Sect, or rather, for himself: "Maybe now we are somewhat inferior to the Limitless Star Palace, the Myriad Beasts Sect, and the Immortal Alliance, but... give us another twenty years, and I believe, the comprehensive strength of the Nine Cauldrons Sect will no longer be weaker than these three!"

"This..."

Xie He was full of doubts.

Moreover, the fact that it was neither the Myriad Beasts Sect nor the Supreme Yin Sect or Heavenly Law Pavilion showed up made him feel somewhat disappointed.

But...

Heading to any sect was still better than continuing to stay with the Immortal Alliance.

The thought that he had served the power that had decimated his family for so many years made him shiver uncontrollably and wish he could chop off his own hands.

With this thought, he took a deep breath and calmed down: "Alright, I trust you. I’ve prepared everything and have arranged my affairs under the pretext of a research difficulty. I won’t need to show up for three days. Now... what should I do?"

"Grab your belongings and simply walk out following my guidance."

Alkaid’s Divine Sense rang out.

As an Alchemy Grandmaster, Xie He effortlessly purchased a Magic Artifact Storage Bag.

He seemingly left his room empty-handed.

As he stepped out, various guidance information came his way.

"Turn left, wait for three seconds."

"Go straight, quickly walk thirty meters."

"Tired? You can rest under this small tree for twenty-six seconds."

Xie He, following these Divine Sense guidances, gradually felt overwhelmed.

This man from the Nine Cauldrons Sect avoided all the passersby in his living area with every precise instruction.

The paramount security forces of the Ascendant Tower seemed futile before him.

These techniques, could it be that they had breached all the perception and scouting systems of the Immortal Alliance!?

"Relying on a Spiritual Treasure definitely can’t achieve this extent! Are you a Dharma Phase, aren’t you? Does the Nine Cauldrons Sect actually possess a Dharma Phase too? This secrecy is too deep."

Xie He couldn’t help but inquire through his Divine Sense.

"I’ve said before, the potential of the Nine Cauldrons Sect is more astonishing than you think, and with the favorable atmosphere of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, you won’t be disappointed there, and your life could start anew."

Alkaid responded with a smile.

Xie He heard this but did not respond.

However, he was somewhat convinced by Alkaid’s previous statement that the power of the Nine Cauldrons Sect was much stronger than anyone imagined.

Under Alkaid’s guidance, Xie He navigated through turns and twists, and thus left the core area of the Ascendant Tower headquarters.

Once out of the core area, the following steps were even simpler.

Even some guarded entrances needed hardly any attention.

Alkaid projected illusions using Divine Sense, directly causing those guards to be momentarily dazed. During that time, Xie He passed through the checkpoints with ease.

And the guards would only feel a bit tired without noticing anything unusual.

Half an hour later, Xie He finally reached the public area outside the Ascendant Tower.

It was then that Alkaid officially appeared in front of the Alchemist, greeting him with a smile, "Hello."

Seeing Alkaid, Xie He was slightly taken aback: "You..."

He sensed the fluctuations of Divine Sense in Alkaid, somewhat incredulously: "Is it you!?"

"It is I."

"You, you’re a Dharma Phase... a Zhenguo Dharma Phase actually..."

Xie He felt touched that the Nine Cauldrons Sect would actually allow a distinguished Dharma Phase to personally receive him, deeply feeling the Sect’s high regard for him, yet he thought this approach of the Sect was a bit rash.

After all...

The significance of a Dharma Phase was much higher than an Alchemy Grandmaster.

"Don’t worry, I’ve said that the power the Nine Cauldrons Sect holds is much stronger than you imagine. Now, I’ll arrange your departure from Seven Hills City to Bolin City, where the head of the intelligence department is located, and besides... I will also cover up your departure as much as possible, even if it is for an extra day."

Alkaid said with a smile.

Seeing the Nine Cauldrons Sect send a Dharma Phase Cultivator personally to receive him, Xie He no longer held any repulsion towards going to the Nine Cauldrons Sect.

Now hearing Alkaid mention heading to Bolin City...

He hesitated for a moment but still said, "There’s no need to rush this... as long as the Nine Cauldrons Sect remembers."

"If we don’t avenge you, you might not be able to concentrate on alchemy afterwards, so, let’s fulfill this promise first,"

Alkaid said.

Xie He said no more.

But his favorable impression of the Nine Cauldrons Sect increased significantly.

"You have a Dharma Phase mark on you, which I will remove."

Alkaid stated.

"A Dharma Phase mark!?"

Xie He’s expression turned ugly.

Over the past few days, he had realized that the Immortal Alliance had never truly trusted him, and now, faced with the stark reality unveiled by Alkaid, he still felt like his decades of hard work had been in vain.

While he was disheartened, a Divine Sense had already swept over him, accurately enveloping another faintly detectable Divine Sense but did not eradicate it outright.

Although Xie He was not a Dharma Phase, having transcended the Purple Cloud Thunder Tribulation, he was a top-tier Primordial Spirit True Person and could naturally judge that Alkaid’s exquisite skill...

Was evidently a notch above that of the Dharma Phase in the Immortal Alliance, which is why he managed to extract it from within him without erasing the mark.

"It’s done."

Having contained the mark, Alkaid already escorted Xie He outside the Ascendant Tower.

A middle-aged man was already waiting there, piloting a hovering sedan.

He was the Nine Cauldrons Sect’s undercover agent planted in the vicinity of the Immortal Alliance in Seven Hills City.

"Follow him and leave Seven Hills City first, I will catch up with you later,"

Alkaid said.

Xie He nodded solemnly, "Please be careful!"

Alkaid smiled reassuringly, watching the ninth-level Alchemist depart.

After his departure, Alkaid quickly returned and soon arrived back deep within the Ascendant Tower.

Unlike his earlier entry to retrieve someone, this time...

He was after those top-tier elixirs planned for auction in half a month, worth billions, capable of rapidly enhancing his cultivation.
