Worldwide Simulation Era

In Tata Village, the Heavenly Star Daoist crossed the space and appeared directly above Lonemoon and the others.

Suddenly, they felt a strong pressure, and their expressions changed. They all looked up in the direction of the source of the pressure.

"Who's there!?"

The Heavenly Star Daoist didn't pay any attention to them. He closed his eyes and sensed for a while, then murmured in a low voice, "Did he escape?"

He lowered his head and looked at Butcher and the Black Dragon, who were the strongest.

"Was the person you just met the Holy Infant Temple Master?"

Lin Qiye had teleported away, and the Heavenly Star Daoist had detected the spatial fluctuations. However, Lin Qiye's aura had been concealed by Wan Meng, so he could not recognize him.

Faced with such an overwhelming aura, the group shuddered in fear. They could tell that the person's objective was Lin Qiye.

They immediately recalled Lin Qiye's instructions not to provoke a fellow from the Heavenly God Palace.

They didn't dare to be careless and anger him. Lonemoon quickly put on a respectful attitude and said, "Senior, did you come from the Heavenly God Palace?"

The Heavenly Star Daoist shot a cold glance at them.

"I'm the one asking questions."

His voice was bone-chilling as if they would lose their lives if they said another word of nonsense.

They couldn't help but take a deep breath. They realized that the person in front of them was most likely the one Lin Qiye had warned them about and trying to avoid.

"Senior, the one we met just now was a messenger sent by the Lord. He left after telling us to resume the reconstruction work."

Butcher said as he bowed. He did not dare to reveal that Lin Qiye was here.

The others quickly nodded in agreement. They all tensed up, afraid that this mysterious expert would see through some flaws.

"A messenger? Could it be that there's another expert by his side?"

The Heavenly Star Daoist fell into deep thought.

He did not sense Lin Qiye's aura, but the aura of the person who had teleported away was hidden.

An existence whose aura he could not sense either grasped an extremely powerful concealment technique or was stronger than him.

Although the possibility of the latter was almost non-existent, no matter the situation, it was enough to prove that the strength of the person who had just left could not be underestimated.

The Heavenly Star Daoist had already seen the battle-robed man's strength.

Even a person of that caliber had been sent to protect Lin Qiye. To let Lin Qiye escape, he even risked his life.

This was enough to prove how prominent Lin Qiye's background was.

Therefore, another person similar to the battle-robed man could appear.

At the thought of this, the Heavenly Star Daoist didn't dare to act rashly.

His power had not fully recovered yet, and the best way was to stay in Tata Village and wait for an opportunity when the situation was still unclear.

Even if he wanted to take action, the safest way would be to wait until he had recovered more than 90% of his strength.

"Did he tell you when he'll be back?"

The Heavenly Star Daoist looked at the few extremely respectful people and thought they were afraid of him, not daring to lie.

Butcher and the others also put on a cooperative look and replied in fear, "Senior, His Lord only asked the messenger to pass a message and ask us to do an excellent job rebuilding Tata Village. He didn't say much else."

"That's right. His Lord also said he might need to go into seclusion and won't be back for a while."

Chang Shi's brain spun faster. He was afraid the Heavenly Star Daoist would stay and wait for Lin Qiye, so he quickly added.

Seclusion?

The Heavenly Star Daoist's expression was dark as he stared at Butcher and the others.

They looked so terrified that he couldn't see any signs of lying, but as an old monster who had lived for more than 100,000 years, he didn't believe them easily.

"Since he's going into seclusion for a while, I will stay and wait for him. You don't need to worry about me. Just do what you need to do."

"Yes."

Butcher and the others were a little regretful that they didn't manage to fool the Heavenly Star Daoist, but they were also relieved at the same time.

Firstly, he had not attacked them directly. Secondly, Lin Qiye might not be too far away.

If the Heavenly Star Daoist stayed here, they could buy more time.

When Lin Qiye left this world, the Heavenly Star Daoist would look for him, and they could take the opportunity to hide.

To prevent revealing loopholes, Butcher and the others did not dare to show abnormal actions. They all devoted themselves to the project of rebuilding Tata Village.

The Heavenly Star Daoist had also been paying attention to their movements.

Even after he had fully recovered, they did not seem to have any intention of sending a message to Lin Qiye.

"Am I overthinking?" The Heavenly Star Daoist frowned.

He was worried the battle-robed man wasn't the only person the main world had sent to protect Lin Qiye.

But after calming down, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was impossible.

If the battle-robed man wasn't the only one sent to protect Lin Qiye, shouldn't Lin Qiye and the others have asked for help during the battle?

Why did he have to fight him to the death?

At the thought of this, the Heavenly Star Daoist's face turned ugly.

He didn't expect he would let Lin Qiye escape from right under his nose because he was too careful!

He couldn't be blamed for being overly cautious. The battle-robed man had almost killed him when he had risked his life.

With such a terrifying deterrent force and his reverence for the main world, he naturally couldn't make any mistakes.

Having missed a good opportunity, the Heavenly Star Daoist was determined to kill Butcher and the others who dared to lie to him.

He used his Divine Art and captured Butcher and the others.

"Senior?"
