"He's here. I think you have something to ask him, so I left his Nascent Soul behind," Han Li said and threw the Nascent Soul towards Shi Chuankong.
Shi Chuankong was slightly stunned, but he still caught the Nascent Soul.
He looked around and seemed to realize something. Then, his eyes shone with extreme hatred.
"Thirteenth Prince, I was ordered to offend you. I'm willing to betray the Fifth Prince and serve under the Thirteenth Prince.
On top of that, I know a huge secret regarding you... "Hua Jing's Nascent Soul continued to plead for mercy with its hands folded in front of its chest.
Unexpectedly, Shi Chuankong had no intention of listening to the Nascent Soul. Silver light shone from his hand and he suddenly closed his fingers.
The Nascent Soul flashed with yellow light and was squeezed out of shape. Its voice stopped abruptly.
"Wait, you can't kill me … My master is Saint Reflecting Bone. If you dare to kill me, he will definitely avenge me …" The Nascent Soul struggled with all its might and screamed.
Shi Chuankong ignored it. Silver light shone from his hand and he clenched his fist.
Instantly, the Nascent Soul of the Flower Mirror Mirror only had time to let out a scream before it shattered into specks of yellow light.
Han Li frowned when he saw this. He wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Shi Chuankong and Elder Qi had a deep relationship. Elder Qi was killed by the hypnotic law. Shi Chuankong's grief and anger was beyond imagination.
"It's all thanks to Fellow Li." Shi Chuankong's emotions recovered a little. He stood up and cupped his hands in thanks.
"You're too kind, Fellow Shi.
However, I think it's better not to ignore what the Nascent Soul said.
That Saint Reflecting Bone should be a Perfected Heavenly Immortal. "Han Li waved his hand and said.
"That's right.
The current situation is worse than I expected. Familiar Mountain City is no longer safe. We should leave this place as soon as possible. "Shi Chuankong took out a few pills and swallowed them.
Their previous battle had been intense and caused quite a commotion. Even though no one had come to investigate, the news would probably reach the ears of some people in less than half a day.
"What about them?" Han Li nodded and looked at the dark-faced old man and the lady in pink on the ground.
It wasn't easy for him to protect Shi Chuankong in the previous situation, so it was impossible for him to take care of the others.
The injuries that the two of them had suffered were far more severe than Shi Chuankong's. Although they had regained consciousness, they were unable to move at all.
Hua Jing's secret technique had nearly drained all of their Yuan Qi and damaged their foundations. Whether they could recover was another matter altogether.
"Those people's target is me. As long as I leave Familiar Mountain City, they shouldn't attack this place again. It's better to leave them here to recuperate," Shi Chuankong said after a moment of consideration.
"That's fine." Han Li nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Li, wait here for a moment."
Shi Chuankong said. With a wave of his hand, a purple light shot out, carrying the bodies of the black-faced old man and the young lady in the pink dress. After searching the surroundings, he swept up the corpses and belongings of Elder Qi and the others before flying off into the distance.
Han Li, on the other hand, sat cross-legged on the ground and activated his cultivation method to refine the medicinal effects in his body.
After a moment, Shi Chuankong flew back and Han Li stood up.
"Let's go." Shi Chuankong performed a hand seal and summoned the Crow Divinity Flying Shuttle.
The two of them flew up and the shuttle turned into a black shadow, instantly disappearing into the distant sky.
…
Outside Familiar Mountain City, Shi Chuankong had just flown out of the boundary of the city. Before he could accelerate at full speed, he saw a red shadow speeding towards him.
"Peak of Taiyi Realm … Another one?" Han Li's eyes flashed and he frowned.
Shi Chuankong also frowned and looked nervous. He immediately stopped the flying shuttle.
"Thirteenth Prince, Your Highness, I'm here to receive you under the Third Prince's order."
The red shadow stopped ten thousand feet away and a Blood Shadow Flying Car appeared. A man in red stood on top of it and transmitted his voice to Shi Chuankong.
"Do you have proof?" Shi Chuankong exchanged a glance with Han Li upon hearing this before transmitting his voice in reply.
The man in red did not speak. He raised his hand and waved. A red light wrapped in an object flew towards them.
Shi Chuankong hesitated for a moment, but he still raised his palm and caught the object in the air. He slowly kept it in front of him.
Han Li glanced at it and saw a palm-sized crescent-shaped jade amulet in his hand. There seemed to be some kind of carving on the jade amulet, but the lines were rather messy, making it difficult for Han Li to make out what it was.
Shi Chuankong's eyes flashed slightly. He flipped his other palm and a jade amulet of the same size and shape appeared in his palm. There were many lines on it as well.
He held a jade amulet in each hand and put them together to form a pair. The two halves of thick white jade amulets lit up with a soft white light and then fused together to form a round jade pendant.
The lines on the jade pendant connected to form the silhouette of a woman with two ears. It was just a simple outline, but it was extremely lifelike. It vividly conveyed the woman's resentment and tenderness.
Han Li could see that the material of the jade pendant was not ordinary, but it was not an important Celestial Artifact.
However, it seemed to be very important to Shi Chuankong. When he held the jade pendant in his hand and examined it, his eyes were unusually gentle. He even had a nostalgic look on his face.
Shi Chuankong nodded and said, "The token is correct. It should be sent by the Third Brother."
On the other side, the man in red only continued to fly over when he saw this.
He looked quite young and his face was not very angular. His facial features looked gentle, but his eyes were long and narrow. They looked like two long sabers that shone with a sharp light.
The man in red came closer and said with cupped fists, "I'm Cheng Xue, a subordinate of the Third Prince. I'm here to receive the Thirteenth Prince and escort you back to Sun Ye City."
"You're the Marquis of Bloody Drop?
I've heard from the Third Brother that you've been active in the Yanbo Mountain Range outside of Ten Thousand Cities. You've killed countless demonic beasts and are his right-hand man. It's a pleasure to meet you. "Shi Chuankong was surprised and quickly said.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you've remembered wrongly. I've only been active in the Falling Dust Mine at the northern border of the Southern Wasteland Region. I've never been to Ten Thousand Cities.
Moreover, with my insignificant cultivation, how can I be considered the Third Prince's right-hand man? "The Marquis of Bloody Drop was slightly startled when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile.
"I'm sorry. If I've offended you, please forgive me." Shi Chuankong only believed the Marquis of Bloody Drop's words after hearing this. He cupped his fists and bowed.
"It's alright.
It's a good thing that Your Highness is cautious. "The Marquis of Bloody Drop said.
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Han Li from time to time. It was obvious that he was very interested in him.
"This is Brother Li Han. He's been traveling with me and saved me many times. He's really my savior." Shi Chuankong explained.
Han Li cupped his fists at the Marquis of Bloody Drop.
The Marquis of Bloody Drop also cupped his fists at Han Li.
"Your Highness, what's your plan now?" The Marquis of Bloody Drop asked.
"Initially, I planned to take the teleportation formation to Chu Yu City from Mingshan City. Unfortunately, someone set up a trap in my territory and destroyed the teleportation formation in the city. Now, I can only think of another way to get to Chu Yu City." Shi Chuankong smiled bitterly and said.
"Going to Chu Yu City? Is it for the Void Teleportation Formation?" The Marquis of Bloody Drop asked.
"That's right. Chu Yu City has the only Void Teleportation Formation in the Southern Wasteland Region. Although we can't directly return to Sun Ye City, we can directly reach Pulao City in the Holy Region. It's the fastest way to return to the Holy Capital.
Even if we don't use the teleportation formation, it won't be difficult to fly back to Sun Ye City. "Shi Chuankong nodded and said.
"Although the Void Teleportation Formation can be used for long-distance teleportation, there are many restrictions to its use.
Usually, only those with the title of Duke or above can use it. If it's not for official use, you have to pay for the operation of the formation.
Your Highness, you … "The Marquis of Bloody Drop hesitated.
"It's true that I don't have the title of Duke. However, the Marquis of Bloody Drop might not know that I have another identity in the Vast Origin House. This identity also gives me the right to use the Void Teleportation Formation once. As for the fees, I have my own way.
The difficult part now is how to get to Chu Yu City. "Shi Chuankong nodded and said.
"Chu Yu City is located at the northernmost part of the Southern Wasteland Region. It's the closest city to the Holy Region where the Holy Capital is located.
Since the teleportation formation in Mingshan City has been destroyed, we can only find another city to teleport to Chu Yu City.
However, the other cities are too far away. It'll take at least ten years. "The Marquis of Bloody Drop pondered for a while and said.
"Ten years … I'm afraid something unexpected will happen." Han Li frowned.
The Marquis of Bloody Drop frowned and said, "The Holy Region is too vast. There's nothing we can do about it. As long as we're careful, there shouldn't be a problem."
Shi Chuankong changed the topic and said, "Do you know who caused trouble in Mingshan City and caused us to be unable to teleport?"
"Who?" The Marquis of Bloody Drop was puzzled.
"Hua Jing." Shi Chuankong said.
"The Fifth Princess' subordinate? Why did she attack you?" The Marquis of Bloody Drop was surprised.
"The key is that we joined forces to kill Hua Jing. Before he died, he said that his master, Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone, will immediately chase after him." Shi Chuankong smiled bitterly.
The Marquis of Bloody Drop's frown deepened when he heard this.
The Marquis of Bloody Drop sighed and said, "That Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone is a Grand Heavenly Realm cultivator. He has been in seclusion for a long time in the Southern Wasteland's Earth Valley. This person is very protective of his disciples and favors Hua Jing. If he chases after us, I won't be able to protect you even if I risk my life. At that time, I'll be letting the Third Prince down."
"That's why Fellow Li said that ten years is too long …" Shi Chuankong sighed.
After he finished speaking, the three of them fell silent.
After a long time, the Marquis of Bloody Drop raised his eyebrows and said, "Thirteenth Prince, I have a method that might be able to solve our current predicament. I just don't know if you dare to try it."
Shi Chuankong became spirited and said, "Let's hear it."
