Chapter 2495 A Crushing Defeat (Guaranteed minimum monthly votes next month)
Just as Baiqiao judged, Qu Jianlei was never a magnanimous person.

He suppressed his impulse, only wanting to control the situation. Once he realized he didn't need to think too much, he simply let himself go.

When Qu Jianlei locked onto Na Hong's true form, the person being locked onto felt a chill: It's over!

The passively activated Heavenly Secret Concealing Talisman silently turned into powder.

"What the hell is going on?!" Na Hong cursed inwardly again, realizing he truly didn't have a third Nascent Soul level Heavenly Secret Talisman.

This talisman is extremely rare, and some treasures are not necessarily better the more you have.

High-level treasures also involve karmic consequences. The greater the karmic consequences, the more attention they attract, which is extremely disadvantageous for undercover agents.

As an undercover agent, Na Hong still possessed several Nascent Soul level Heavenly Secret Talismans, but they were meaningless in a confrontation at this level.

Now that he had confirmed that he was locked on, he gritted his teeth and connected with the main clone as well.

The connection is now established, and the cause and effect cannot be severed. However, he doesn't care anymore, as the connection has already been locked in. It's just a matter of speed.

Seriously, he really wanted to know, "I'm just wondering, what exactly is going on between us... Oh my god, the Essence Blood Five Elements Formation?"

Nahong had exceptional eyesight and quick thinking, and he understood it instantly.

The Five Elements Formation used the Nascent Soul essence blood of the Du family, which made him quite angry, but at the same time, he had to admire the other party's thinking.

"I'll take this idea with me. Qu Zhenzun... can you stop me before I reunite with my companions?"

"Your liar's mouth is really influenced by the real me!" Qu Jianlei said expressionlessly.

"Do you have any companions? That's great, I'll give you a chance to meet up."

He verbally promised to give them a chance, but secretly he was relentlessly pursuing them, showing no interest in investigating accomplices.

However, Nahong himself was just feinting – no one would come to his rescue; his goal was to enter the void!

Since it's a battlefield, it's normal to be caught between illusions and reality, so no one needs to laugh at anyone else.

When Na Hong heard that Qu Zhenzun intended to give them a chance to reunite, his heart stirred again.

Generally speaking, on the battlefield, the enemy's words are absolutely unreliable, but it is not easy to remain completely unaffected.

Nahong didn't believe this either, but there was no doubt that if he went straight to the void exit at this moment, his purpose would be too clear.

There are hundreds of void exits in the Houde Realm, which sounds like a lot, but when averaged across the entire realm, it's actually not that many.

The True Venerable moves very fast, but if he wants to enter the void in a short period of time, the available exits are only a few nearby.

Na Hong originally wanted to conceal his true purpose, which is why he said he was going to meet up with his companions, so as not to provoke Ling Yun to set up defenses at the gap.

Now that Qu Jianlei has said this, it really isn't appropriate to head straight for the void.

No matter how much, you have to point east while attacking west, pretend to change direction or something, and try to expose yourself as late as possible!

On the battlefield, rhetoric and trash talk have little effect—without composure, what's the point of going to the battlefield?
However, the purpose of rhetoric is not to pursue success at all costs.

As long as it can affect the other party, even in the slightest way, it's not a waste of time.

That's on the battlefield, not in everyday life. A slight difference can lead to a huge error, potentially changing the course of the battle.

And that was indeed the case. Nahong only slightly changed direction, and... missed his last chance to escape!

Na Hong Zhen Zun is very fast, which is an essential skill for a qualified undercover agent.

At the very least, given Qu Jianlei's speed, it's impossible for him to catch up. Qu Zhenzun isn't omnipotent; he can't compare to Song Yue'er in terms of musical skill.

But he had a good companion, Jin Ge, who was chasing after him relentlessly—Jin Escape's speed was universally acknowledged to be fast.

In about two hours, Qu Jianlei had caught up with the other party.

He tore through space and stepped out, blocking the way in front of a void passage. His figure suddenly swelled up, "Halt!"

As he spoke, Jin Ge transformed into a gigantic golden wheel, slashing fiercely into the sky, shouting, "Die!"

Na Hong himself was traveling within a spatial interlayer, where the flow of time was slightly different.
However, if the attack is strong enough, a real-world attack can also threaten the space interlayer.

The next moment, space was cleaved open, and a figure appeared.

While dodging the golden wheel, Na Hong Zhenzun glanced at the enormous figure ahead and sighed softly, "Qu Zhenzun, why bother?"

"Huh, you're not calling me Venerable One anymore?" The massive figure snorted softly, its half-closed left eye suddenly opening.

The aura of depth, remoteness, ruthlessness, vortex, folds, and chaos reappeared once again.

It's not that time has made him outdated; it's just that he has only recently advanced in his cultivation level and doesn't have many methods to fight against a True Venerable. His options are too limited.

He didn't necessarily want to kill people. Once the Time Divine Power was unleashed, most cultivators couldn't adapt to the time difference, which created a loophole.

"Your clone said it wanted to experience the passage of time, so please grant your wish!"

Na Hong certainly knew about the True Venerable's trump card, but unfortunately, he hadn't thought about how to defend against it.

As I said before, he had too many things to worry about and never expected that he would have any interaction with Qu Zhenzun in the short term.

At this moment, he had received all the information from his clone, and an overwhelming sense of frustration welled up inside him.

Why did I have to be so talkative and provoke the other person like that?
He actually knew why, because the clone at that time was indeed determined to die—if it couldn't destroy itself, then kill it.

Who would have thought that the clone was "unworthy" but when facing the real person, it was... ruthless!
He dodged quickly twice, but unfortunately, without sufficient preparation, he was ultimately no match for "what the eye could see".

"Is this really... going to kill me on the spot?" he thought desperately.

The realms of all things and virtue are not hostile; there is no hatred between them. Why would someone kill a True Venerable over such a trivial matter?
Just as his energy was rapidly depleting, his bodily functions were declining, and his movements were becoming distorted, a large golden net suddenly enveloped him.

Jin Ge understood the bottom line of this battle: if he could capture Qu Zhenzun alive, he should try his best to do so. He also knew the true intention behind Qu Zhenzun's use of the power of time.

As his longtime comrade-in-arms, he couldn't possibly miss such a golden opportunity.

Seeing that the net had enveloped Na Hong's true form, Qu Jianlei flicked his hand and released several array plates to prevent the opponent from escaping using secret techniques.

These array plates are the results of his research in recent years, and much of the knowledge was learned from Venerable Wenxian.

Great masters often give the impression of being overly protective of their skills, but this is not always the case.

First of all, Qu Jianlei's own skill in formations is not bad... Although he came from an unorthodox background, he does have some creativity and ideas.

That feeling of "meeting a kindred spirit" can involuntarily break down certain barriers.

When Wenxian saw Qu Jianlei's teleportation array back then, he couldn't help but want to figure it out, and he didn't hold back at all.

He had reached a dead end in his study of formations and was about to give up. There were very few people qualified to discuss formations with him.

Secondly, Wenxian himself does not belong to any major power, so he doesn't need to worry too much about the consequences of related knowledge being leaked.

Even so, the formation that Qu Jianlei devised was far inferior to that of Wen Xian.

His battle with Nahong was not on a pre-arranged battlefield, so these array plates were completely useless.

In other words, once the other party is captured, timely measures are taken to prevent possible escape attempts—being able to do this at present is already quite good.

Then he slowly narrowed his left eye, concealing the passage of time, but his figure did not shrink.

"Senior, please seal him away... then go and capture that clone!"

One main body and one clone, and then take down the other one, and that's it. The task issued by Baiqiao will be completed.

As for how to conduct the interrogation and what results to obtain... those were not his concerns.

Having completed this mission and attracted so much hatred, he should be able to save himself some trouble for at least a few decades, right?

As he was pondering this, he heard Na Hong let out a soft hum, and his entire body instantly exploded.

"Damn it..." A divine sense emanated from the golden net, but it did not loosen its restraints.

Jin Ge is a seasoned veteran; he wouldn't assume the other party has truly revealed themselves based on just a few appearances.

However, even though the Golden Essence Net was extremely fine, Na Hong himself had turned into a cloud of blood mist, and a large amount of debris still sprayed out.

The self-report of the Out-of-Body True Venerable was incredibly powerful, with fine blood mist shooting out in all directions at an astonishing speed!

Unfortunately, Qu Jianlei had just thrown out several array plates and successfully activated them.

This vast expanse of blood mist was forcibly confined to a small space, with a diameter not exceeding one thousand kilometers.

"This is truly..." The golden net twisted, and suddenly a huge... pocket appeared?
A tremendous suction force emanated from the pocket, and billowing red mist surged into it.

"What is this?" Qu Jianlei blinked. The Master of Arts had unlocked a new skill... like a Transformer?
"Used in conjunction with my cave dwelling," a divine sense transmitted, carrying a rather smug tone, "How about that, impressive, isn't it?"

"Impressive, but be careful, it might be a trap," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but say. "This guy..."

Before he could finish speaking, a desperate divine sense emanated from him: "The Realm of All Things will not let you go!"

Immediately afterwards, the red mist began to churn again, and it felt... quite intense.

Fortunately, there was a large golden net, a strong suction from the pocket, and a powerful binding array on the outside.

Na Hong's self-report was true, and it was also true that his soul wanted to take the opportunity to escape. When he realized that he had no chance to escape, his soul decisively reported himself a second time.

However, neither Qu Jianlei nor Jin Ge cared whether their self-report was genuine or not; continuing to absorb the red mist was the only thing on their minds.

Just as the blood mist was about to be completely absorbed, Qu Jianlei stopped his calculations, looking somewhat puzzled.

"It seems he has truly perished. A dignified True Venerable, so easily defeated?"

"Let me see," Jin Ge also returned to human form, but the huge pocket had turned into a huge sleeve.

The cuffs were still absorbing the remaining blood mist, and Jin Ge's expression was somewhat blank. "The main avatar has also perished."
