Chapter 100

A white giant eagle and a black giant eagle soared through the sky like bolts of white and black lightning, drawing the attention of countless passersby below, who speculated about what kind of high-level mystic beast they might be. But soon, the eagle and the eagle flew farther and higher, quickly disappearing into the clouds.

"Xiao Xue! Higher!"

The giant snow eagle was entirely white. If Xue Ruo hoped it could hide in the clouds after flying above them, Yun Che knew very well that if the pursuers were other types of flying mystic beasts, this might work. However, the pursuer was an eagle, the true ruler of the high sky. In the high-altitude domain, nothing could escape the eagle's eyes.

The giant snow eagle flew higher and higher, having passed through countless layers of clouds. But the storm eagle behind it continued to pursue relentlessly. The giant snow eagle could fly very high, up to five thousand meters, but in terms of flight height, it was far inferior to an eagle. An ordinary adult male eagle could fly up to ten thousand meters, let alone a spirit mystic-level storm eagle.

Fortunately, in terms of flight speed, the giant snow eagle was not inferior to the storm eagle. Although it was closely pursued, it maintained the same distance. The giant snow eagle could not shake off the storm eagle, and the storm eagle could not catch up to the giant snow eagle for the time being. However, the giant snow eagle's grade was ultimately lower than the storm eagle, and its endurance was naturally far inferior. This state could not last long, and it was only a matter of time before the storm eagle caught up with the giant snow eagle.

"From what I know, this storm eagle was captured by the Xiao Sect a few years ago and has not been completely tamed. It is not a contracted mystic beast, and there is a risk of it escaping if released. So unless it's something extremely important, they wouldn't release this storm eagle... Junior Brother Yun, what exactly did you do to the Xiao Sect?" Lan Xue Ruo tightly gripped the giant snow eagle's feathers, speaking nervously.

The wind roared in their ears. Facing Lan Xue Ruo's question, Yun Che hesitated for a moment and then said truthfully, "You might not believe me... I completely crippled Xiao Luocheng, causing them to lose sixty million purple mystic coins..." Yun Che paused for a moment and chose a more acceptable explanation: "And I completely destroyed their sect's treasure vault."

"Ah!" Lan Xue Ruo's beautiful eyes widened, her mouth agape, and she stared at him in shock, as if looking at a monster.

"I swear by my appearance, all of this is true," Yun Che said helplessly.

"..." Lan Xue Ruo was speechless for a long time. She did not doubt Yun Che's words. She was certain that based on the personality she had seen in Yun Che, he would not lie to her with such absurd words at this time. And precisely because she did not doubt him, she was extremely shocked. She was amazed that a young man at the first level of the Mystic Realm could single-handedly wreak havoc on the largest sect in New Moon City, which was simply unbelievable. She was terrified that crippling Xiao Luocheng and losing sixty million purple mystic coins were already deep enmity, and destroying the sect's treasure vault... this was more than just deep enmity! This kind of enmity could last for generations!

If the Xiao Sect's branch did not spare no effort to tear Yun Che to pieces, even she would find it hard to bear.

No wonder the Xiao Sect even released the storm eagle to hunt him down.

Lan Xue Ruo had been considering whether to stop the futile escape, stop, and reveal her identity, which would be enough to ensure Yun Che's safety. But after hearing Yun Che's words, she completely abandoned this idea. Just based on what Yun Che had done, if he fell into the hands of the Xiao Sect, not even her father could save him.

Looking at Lan Xue Ruo's reaction, Yun Che felt somewhat guilty and said, "Senior Sister Xue Ruo, I'm sorry, I've involved you."

Lan Xue Ruo gently shook her head, "This is my own choice, there's no involvement or not." She smiled lightly and comforted him, "Besides, it's the senior sister's duty to protect the cute junior brother."

"It's too early to say involvement. We might not necessarily escape. Maybe they'll stop chasing after a while. Or perhaps... the storm eagle will suddenly become disobedient and fly in another direction, it's possible... Xiao Xue, fly faster!"

Hearing Lan Xue Ruo's words, Yun Che's expression showed a hint of complexity. When she said these words, he did not see a trace of regret, falseness, or impurity in her eyes, not even a bit.

He did not like owing people, but this time, he had firmly incurred a debt. A debt of life-saving grace, and possibly, a certain kind of emotion...

"By the way, Junior Brother Yun, how did you infiltrate the Xiao Sect? And how did you wreak such havoc on the Xiao Sect? Can you tell me?"

Lan Xue Ruo was undoubtedly extremely tense at this moment, but when she spoke, her eyes showed the purest curiosity, making Yun Che, who had intended to keep it all a secret, unable to refuse. He thought for a moment and told her, "A long time ago, I had a master, from whom I learned some medical skills, including the art of disguise. Xiao Luocheng was severely injured, and the sect would certainly be searching for a doctor throughout the city, so I disguised myself as a middle-aged doctor... and infiltrated the Xiao Sect..."

Yun Che, naturally a skilled speaker, vividly recounted the events of the past few days in the Xiao Sect to Lan Xue Ruo. Of course, he did not mention things like the Wang Xu Long Dan that should not be known by others. The entire process was undoubtedly spectacular, making Lan Xue Ruo sometimes gape in shock, sometimes cover her mouth in laughter, and sometimes look completely stunned... especially when she heard about him being mistaken for a world-renowned doctor and Xiao Luocheng bowing to him as a grandfather, she burst out laughing, tears streaming down her cheeks... Throughout the process, she seemed to forget that they were in danger.

One hour passed, two hours passed...

The sky had already darkened. In two hours, they had flown hundreds of miles, and Yun Che and Lan Xue Ruo's ears were almost deafened. They did not know where they were, and every time they looked back, they could still clearly see the shadow of the black giant eagle.

"Damn! It's almost catching up! Xiao Xue, fly faster, Xiao Xue!!"

Yun Che turned his head and was startled to see that the storm eagle, which had been a kilometer away, was now less than three hundred meters away. Sitting on the back of the giant snow eagle, Yun Che could clearly feel its body convulsing... flying at full speed for two hours, which was four hours, was almost a miracle for a true mystic beast. If it were not for its absolute loyalty to Lan Xue Ruo as her contracted mystic beast, it would not have been able to persist to this point.

At this moment, the storm eagle's grade advantage became evident. Its flight speed showed no signs of slowing down, and the occasional eagle cry was full of energy, echoing through the sky.

"Senior Sister, don't push it anymore. It's already overexerting itself, and if it continues, it will directly damage its lifespan."

As the owner of the giant snow eagle, Lan Xue Ruo was more aware of its current state than Yun Che. She bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly.

The giant snow eagle's body convulsed more and more severely, and its posture became unsteady, swaying and slowing down. The storm eagle behind them was getting closer and closer, and at this moment, a fierce voice came from behind them: "Brat, you actually made me chase you for so long! This time, I'll see where you run!!"

Yun Che turned his head sharply and realized that the storm eagle was already within a hundred meters, and he could clearly see the storm eagle and the figure standing on its back... it was clearly Xiao Zai He!

"Senior Sister, make Xiao Xue fly down immediately, we need to prepare..."

Yun Che's words were cut off halfway because, at that moment, an extreme sense of danger came from his back. He almost turned his head in a flash and saw the strange weapon in Xiao Zai He's hand on the back of the storm eagle.

That was...

A Poison Fire Gun!!

Xiao Zai He actually had a Poison Fire Gun!

Before he could react, he saw a tongue of fire suddenly shoot out from the Poison Fire Gun... in an instant, a lethal danger shot toward him faster than sound. Due to the interference of the violent air currents, it slightly deviated and flew straight toward Lan Xue Ruo's chest.

"Senior Sister, be careful!!!"

Lan Xue Ruo, who had turned her head, did not feel the imminent danger. By the time she finally realized it, it was too late to react... in her enlarged pupils, a black dot was getting closer and closer, and then it was blocked by Yun Che's body as he lunged forward...

Puu!!

A large hole appeared in Yun Che's left shoulder, blood splattering. Although he avoided the vital areas, he still underestimated the power of the Poison Fire Gun. At the moment he was hit, he almost heard the grim laugh of death.

"Yun... Junior Brother Yun!!"

Lan Xue Ruo's body stiffened, and it wasn't until she saw Yun Che's shoulder turn red with blood that she let out a terrified cry and hastily supported his body as it slowly fell.

"Senior Sister..." The intense pain from the wound he could endure, but the mental strain from the severe injury made him feel unable to support himself. His face was pale, and he bit his tongue, struggling to say, "That's... a Poison Fire Gun, highly toxic... if hit... certain death... hold me... jump down... jump down... might die... but not jumping down... will definitely die..."

Highly toxic?

Looking at Yun Che's bloodied shoulder, Lan Xue Ruo's heart trembled violently. Her eyes misted over, and she nodded, then tightly embraced Yun Che's body: "Okay... we'll jump down."

At this moment, facing Yun Che, who had used his life to protect her, even in the face of thousands of meters of high altitude, she still chose to follow blindly. She held Yun Che, stood up on the back of the giant snow eagle, and looked down at the vast expanse below, saying softly, "Xiao Xue, you've worked hard... come back and rest well."

As she spoke, the mark on the back of her hand flashed, and the giant snow eagle let out a long cry, its massive body disappearing in a white light.

And Yun Che
