“He is here. I think you might have some questions for him, so I left his Nascent Soul.” Wang Yu said, raising his hand and throwing the Hua Jing Nascent Soul in his palm toward Shi Chuan Kong.

Shi Chuan Kong was slightly stunned, but he still grabbed Hua Jing's Nascent Soul.

He swept his gaze around, seemingly realizing something, and then his eyes filled with extreme hatred.

“Thirteenth Prince, I was only acting under instructions and dared to offend you. I am willing to betray the Fifth Prince and defect to the Thirteenth Prince. Moreover, I know a big secret about you…” Hua Jing's Nascent Soul repeatedly begged for mercy, speaking quickly again.

However, Shi Chuan Kong did not listen to Hua Jing's Nascent Soul at all. Silver light burst forth from his hand, and his five fingers suddenly closed.

Hua Jing's Nascent Soul immediately flashed wildly with yellow light, being squeezed out of shape, and his voice came to an abrupt halt.

“Wait, you can't kill me… My master is Zhao Gu Zhenren. If you dare to kill me, he will definitely avenge me…” Hua Jing's Nascent Soul struggled with all its might, screaming.

Shi Chuan Kong turned a deaf ear and his hand exploded with silver light, squeezing hard.

Immediately, Hua Jing's Nascent Soul only had time to let out a miserable scream before it shattered, turning into specks of yellow light.

Wang Yu frowned slightly at the sight, hesitant to speak.

Shi Chuan Kong had a deep relationship with that Qi Lao. Qi Lao's demise from the hypnosis law was something Shi Chuan Kong was grieving over more than he could have imagined.

“This time, I must thank Li Daoyou for turning the tide.” Shi Chuan Kong's emotions recovered somewhat, and he stood up and cupped his fist in thanks.

“Shi Daoyou is too kind. However, I think it's best not to ignore what Hua Jing said at the end. That Zhao Gu Zhenren should be a Da Luo Realm existence, right?” Wang Yu waved his hand and said.

“That's right. The current situation seems worse than I expected. Ren Shan City is no longer safe. Let's leave here as soon as possible.” Shi Chuan Kong took out several pills, swallowed them, and nodded.

Their previous battle was fierce and created quite a stir. Although no one had come to investigate yet, the news would probably reach certain people's ears through some informants within half a day.

“What about them?” Wang Yu nodded and looked at the black-faced old man and the pink-skirted young woman on the ground.

He had only been able to save Shi Chuan Kong with great difficulty, and it was impossible to take care of the others.

The injuries suffered by these two were far more serious than those of Shi Chuan Kong. Although they had already woken up, they were unable to move at all.

The secret technique used by Hua Jing had almost drained the Yuan Qi in their bodies and had also greatly damaged their foundations, making it questionable whether they could recover.

“Those people's target is me. As long as I leave Ren Shan City, they shouldn't attack here again. Let's leave them here to recuperate.” Shi Chuan Kong considered for a moment and then said.

“Alright.” Wang Yu nodded.

“Li Daoyou, please wait here for a moment.” Shi Chuan Kong said, waved his hand, and sent out a stream of purple light, lifting the bodies of the black-faced old man and the pink-skirted young woman. He then searched the surroundings and collected the bodies and belongings of Qi Lao and the others, turning and flying away into the distance.

Wang Yu then sat down cross-legged in place, operating his cultivation technique to refine the medicinal power in his body.

After a while, Shi Chuan Kong flew back, and Wang Yu stopped his cultivation and stood up.

“Let's go.” Shi Chuan Kong cast a spell and summoned the Wu Shen Flying Shuttle.

The two flew up, and then the flying shuttle turned into a black shadow, instantly disappearing into the distant horizon.

……

Outside Ren Shan City, Shi Chuan Kong was piloting the flying shuttle, having just flown out of the city's boundaries. Before he could fully accelerate, he saw a red light streaking towards them.

“A Taiyi Realm peak… another one?” Wang Yu's eyes flashed, and he frowned.

Shi Chuan Kong also frowned and looked nervous, immediately stopping the flying shuttle.

“Thirteenth Prince, I am here on the orders of the Third Prince to meet you.” A red light stopped on its own a thousand zhang away, revealing a Blood Shadow Flying Chariot. A red-clothed man stood on it, transmitting his voice through divine sense.

“Do you have proof?” Shi Chuan Kong asked, exchanging a glance with Wang Yu before replying through divine sense.

The red-clothed man did not speak, but raised his hand and waved. A red light wrapped around something and flew towards them.

Shi Chuan Kong hesitated slightly, but still raised a palm and grabbed the object in the air, slowly bringing it to his front.

Wang Yu scanned it, and saw that there was a palm-sized crescent jade pendant in his palm. There seemed to be some patterns carved on it, but the lines were somewhat chaotic, and he couldn't see it clearly for a moment.

Shi Chuan Kong's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned over his other palm, revealing a jade pendant of the same size and shape, with many lines on it as well.

He held a jade pendant in each hand, piecing them together. The two halves of the mutton-fat-like white jade pendants lit up with a soft white light, then merged together to form a circular jade pendant.

The lines on the jade pendant connected to form a side profile of a woman with two ears on her head. However, it was only a simple outline, but it seemed extremely vivid, conveying the woman's slightly resentful but tender expression.

Wang Yu could see that the material of this jade pendant was not bad, but it was not an important immortal magic treasure.

However, it seemed to be quite important to Shi Chuan Kong. When he held the jade pendant to examine it, his eyes were unusually gentle, and even a hint of reminiscence appeared on his face.

“The token is correct. It should have been sent by my Third Brother.” Shi Chuan Kong nodded and said.

On the other side, the red-clothed man, seeing this, continued to fly over.

His appearance was quite young, his facial features not very distinct, and the lines of his facial features looked quite soft, except for a pair of eyes that were quite narrow, looking like two long knives, flashing with sharp edges.

“I am Cheng Xue, a subordinate of the Third Prince. I am ordered to come and meet the Thirteenth Prince and escort you back to Ye Yang City.” The red-clothed man came closer and cupped his fist and said.

“You are Marquis Xue Di? I heard my Third Brother mention before that you have been active in the Yan Bo Mountains outside Wanyu City, strangling countless invading magic beasts. You are his right-hand man. Nice to meet you.” Shi Chuan Kong seemed a little surprised and hurriedly said.

“Thirteenth Prince, you must have misremembered. My previous area of activity has always been the Luo Chen Mine in the northern boundary of the Southern Wilderness, and I have never been to Wanyu City. Besides, with my meager cultivation, how can I be considered the Third Prince's right-hand man?” Marquis Xue Di heard the words, was slightly stunned, then reacted and said with a smile.

“I apologize for this test. Please forgive me if I have offended Marquis Xue Di.” Shi Chuan Kong heard the words, then believed Marquis Xue Di's words, and cupped his fist in salute again.

“It doesn't matter. It's a good thing that Your Highness is cautious.” Marquis Xue Di said.

While speaking, his eyes would always fall on Wang Yu from time to time, obviously very interested in him.

“This is Daoyou Li Han. He has been traveling with me all the way, and has saved me from danger many times. He is truly my savior.” Shi Chuan Kong explained when he saw this.

Wang Yu heard the words, then cupped his fist at the other party.

The latter's expression changed and he also cupped his fist in salute to Wang Yu.

“I wonder what Your Highness is planning now?” Marquis Xue Di asked.

“I was originally planning to take the teleportation array from Ren Shan City to Chu Yu City, but unfortunately, I was set up in my own territory, and the teleportation array in the city was also destroyed. Now I can only think of other ways to get to Chu Yu City.” Shi Chuan Kong said with a wry smile.

“Going to Chu Yu City, could it be for the Escape Void Teleportation Array?” Marquis Xue Di asked.

“That's right, Chu Yu City has the only Escape Void Teleportation Array in the Southern Wilderness. Although it can't directly return to Ye Yang City, it can directly reach Pu Lao City in the Lin Sheng Domain, which is the fastest way to return to the Holy Capital. At that time, even if we don't use the teleportation array anymore, it won't be difficult to fly directly back to Ye Yang City.” Shi Chuan Kong nodded and said.

“Although the Escape Void Teleportation Array can perform super-long-distance teleportation across territories, there are many restrictions on its use. Generally, you need to have a noble title above Duke to apply for its use, and if it is not used for official business, you have to pay all the costs of operating the great array yourself. Your Highness…” Marquis Xue Di said hesitantly.

“I don't have a noble title, but Marquis Xue Di may not know that I also have another identity in Guang Yuan Zhai. This identity also grants me the right to use the Escape Void Teleportation Array once, and as for the fees that need to be paid, I have my own way. The difficulty now is how to get to Chu Yu City smoothly.” Shi Chuan Kong nodded and said.

“Chu Yu City is located at the northernmost end of the Southern Border Domain, and is the closest city in the Southern Border Domain to the Lin Sheng Domain where the Holy Capital is located. Since the teleportation array in Ren Shan City has been destroyed, if you want to teleport to Chu Yu City again, you can only look for other cities. However, the other nearby cities are too far away, and it would take at least ten years.” Marquis Xue Di pondered for a moment, and then said.

“Ten years… I'm afraid there will be unexpected changes in the middle.” Wang Yu frowned and said upon hearing this.

“The Holy Domain is too vast, this can't be helped. We should be careful on the road, it shouldn't be a big problem.” Marquis Xue Di frowned slightly and said.

“Daoyou Xue Di, do you know who is causing trouble in Ren Shan City this time, causing us to be unable to teleport?” Shi Chuan Kong changed the subject and said.

“Who is it?” Marquis Xue Di asked in confusion.

“Hua Jing.” Shi Chuan Kong said.

“A subordinate of the Fifth Princess, how come even she is attacking you?” Marquis Xue Di said in surprise.

“The key is that we joined forces to kill Hua Jing. Before he died, he said that his master Zhao Gu Zhenren would immediately come to hunt us down after receiving the news of his death.” Shi Chuan Kong said with a wry smile.

Marquis Xue Di immediately frowned even tighter when he heard this.

“The old ghost Zhao Gu is a Da Luo cultivator, and he has been in seclusion in the Earth Nether Valley in the Southern Border Domain for a long time. This person is the most protective of his shortcomings, and he favors Hua Jing, his disciple, so much. If he comes after us, I ask myself that I can't protect you even if I give up my life. Then I will have failed the Third Prince's instructions.” Marquis Xue Di sighed and said.

“That's why Daoyou Li said that ten years is too long…” Shi Chuan Kong sighed.

After he finished speaking, the three of them fell silent.

“Thirteenth Prince, I have a way that may be able to solve the current predicament. I just don't know if you dare to try it?” After a long time, Marquis Xue Di suddenly raised his eyebrows and said.

“Tell me about it first.” Shi Chuan Kong perked up and said.
