846  Don't meddle with the past II

Jian erupted into wild laughter as he heard the words of his past self. He was worried about Kyle? That jerk who was currently the strongest person among them?!

"Do you really think Kyle would die so easily? Then you don't yet know the real him. He wouldn't die even if death itself arrived to forcefully take him!"

He raised his finger and flicked his past self's forehead, sending him hurtling into the gap behind him.

A smug smile appeared on Jian's face as he watched his past self's fading figure, but the smile vanished when a hand slipped out from the crack of time he had come from and forcefully grabbed his collar. Kyle's chilling voice echoed from the crack.

"Just how many times do I have to tell you not to meddle with the past, or Azazeal will do the same and end us all."

Jian felt like crying. He knew he was in real trouble this time! Kyle had asked him not to interfere with the past, but he did just that. Kyle sounded angry! The hand gripping his collar pulled him back into the crack, and the crevice vanished into nothingness.

'Well, at least I managed to improved my unlucky life a little-!'

After he vanished into the crack, the lost treasure tomb erupted in a dazzling array of luminous particles, scattering like ethereal fireflies in the darkness. In real timeline, Kyle stared at him with solemn eyes.

Jian chuckled, only to cough up more blood. His state resembled someone who had just endured a life-and-death battle, with blood oozing from every inch of his body. He had gone back in time for a short while, and he looked half dead; if he had stayed any longer, he would have definitely died.

Nine and everyone else who could finally move after Kyle broke Jian's power wanted to confront the red-haired man. Sinon, in particular, was eager to beat him. However, Jian flashed them a smile and chose to faint, leaving them all at a loss for words.

Kyle let go of his body, and he dropped down. Bia left his shoulder and landed on Jian's unconscious body before placing her talon on his neck to check his pulse. The phoenix's voice was quite concerning, yet her words lacked that concern.

-"Is he finally dead?"

Many eyebrows twitched at her remarks, and Nox hurriedly pulled her back with a speechless expression.

"Just where are you checking his pulse? I thought we checked it from the wrist?"

Bia turned to him with a scoff.

-"I'm checking if he is breathing."

Nox facepalmed.

"That's done from the nose!"

Kyle shook his head and asked Regius and Sinon to take Jian away and help him heal. The two nodded and hurriedly dragged Jian away while Kyle turned to the rest.

He pointed to a few locations on the map laid out on the table and glanced at Alec.

"You are going to handle Enthrall, right?"

Alec thumped his chest with a dark glint in his eyes and a broad, menacing smirk that could send shivers down anyone's spine.

"He is just as strong as I am. Leave Enthrall to me, and I will handle him since I have a mountain of scores to settle with him!"

Kyle nodded, and Alec memorized the locations he pointed to on the map, as these were the areas in the enemy camp where Kyle sensed Enthrall's presence.

This was a significant advantage. Unlike Kyle, they hadn't been able to extend their senses on the enemy side, as they were not stronger than the three shadow generals and would surely be detected. That's why they hadn't dared to do so, as the shadow generals could harm their senses.

Kyle turned to Ma, the one he sensed was the strongest among the three older men.

"You can take on Damien, the first shadow general. He is at the peak of supreme rank, but you have a profound understanding of swordsmanship and experience, which will enable you to handle him."

The old men nodded, and he turned to everyone else. His next words made many of them a bit tense.

"I sensed ten fake bodies of Ceano in the enemy camp. All of them are at the peak of supreme rank. He also has a powerful skill that absorbs the power of others. I am not sure how he obtained it, but dealing with Ceano is going to be an issue for everyone since his real body is not here. You all need to deal with his fake bodies until I return."

Kyle pointed out every location on the map where he sensed Ceano's fake bodies.

James recorded all the areas, and they all divided up either individually or into pairs to confront one of Ceano's bodies each.

Alec frowned. The fact that Ceano was creating so many fake bodies by absorbing the power of the individuals he was killing was concerning, and they needed to find a way to eliminate him as soon as possible before he created more fake bodies.

"We need to find Ceano's real body to eliminate him. If it's not here, that means even if we destroy all his fake bodies, he won't die like a bug!"

Everyone agreed with him. They had to destroy Ceano's real body to eliminate him. However, the problem was that they had no idea where his real body was hiding if it wasn't on the Sacred Divine Land. Carcel, who had teamed up with Mia to confront one of Ceano's fake bodies, sneered.

"Ceano was the one who declared war against James and everyone else, insisting that we should come to battle if we wanted to kill him. Yet, he isn't here with his real body. Truly like a pesky bug."

Kyle rubbed his chin.

"I sensed his real body near the Sea of Consciousness two months ago, but he might have sensed me somehow, and after that, he vanished...."

At that moment, Nine spoke up.

"I think I know where his real body is."

Immediately, all eyes turned to him, and he gazed at the phoenix with a smile.

"We need to thank Bia for this brilliant plan she devised, as if she could see the future."

Kyle raised an eyebrow and looked at Bia, who was sitting on his shoulder. She lifted her head proudly, but inwardly, she also did not know what plan she had devised. So, she could only wait for Nine to elaborate.

It was Nox who recalled something important that she had forgotten.

"The Dark Phoenix!"
