Chapter 1 The Runaway

"What did you say?!"

The Great Elder abruptly opened his eyes, like a furious old lion.

"What kind of useless trash are you two? Two Saint ranks can't even keep watch over a King rank girl? What good are you two?"

The Seventh Elder and Eighth Elder instantly turned silent with fear, lowering their heads and not daring to make a sound.

This matter was indeed their fault. A King rank escaped right under the noses of two Saint ranks. It was as absurd as a male mouse ravaging a female cat.

The Great Elder's chest rose and fell incessantly, his face flickering with dark emotions.

He couldn't understand how An Liya, who had once been so obedient, had suddenly become so rebellious. Could it be because of that Tian E?

The Great Elder narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint flashing in their depths.

If that were truly the case, then killing that Tian E was not out of the question. Geniuses were, after all, just geniuses.

An Liya was of great importance to the entire God Mountain and even the Western Alliance.

He had already reached an agreement with a big shot from the Ninth Universe.

"I'll give you three days. If you can't bring An Liya back within three days, then the two of you don't need to return to God Mountain either."

"An Liya doesn't have the ability to escape on her own. Someone must have helped her! If there are others beside An Liya, kill them all!"

The Great Elder flicked his sleeves and turned his back directly.

He was afraid that if he looked at these two guys any longer, he wouldn't be able to resist beating them up.

"Yes! We will definitely bring An Liya back!"

The Seventh Elder and Eighth Elder exchanged glances and immediately took action. To speed things up, they directly issued the God Mountain Decree!

This night was destined to be restless!

Many God Guards on leave were all summoned back. With the issuance of the God Mountain Decree, the entire Western Alliance was shaken.

The last time the God Mountain Decree was issued was almost ten years ago.

At that time, it was to apprehend a elusive master thief, Guishou (Ghost Hand), who had stolen from the homes of several wealthy merchants and dignitaries in the Western Alliance. Even the God Emperor's Palace had suffered.

At the time, no one could do anything about him. Even the God Emperor at the time had a headache until one day he stole from God Mountain.

God Mountain directly issued the God Mountain Decree, and one day later, the body of the master thief who had shaken the Western Alliance and given the God Emperor a headache was placed at the foot of God Mountain.

This also indirectly demonstrated the power of God Mountain.

Now, after ten years, the God Mountain Decree has appeared again, and this time the content of the God Mountain Decree is to find the Goddess An Liya. Anyone who dares to obstruct, regardless of their identity, will be killed without mercy!

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, who was so bold as to dare to abduct the Goddess?

"Tian E, good boy, you really didn't disappoint me!"

Codyger in the Academy of Gods was immediately excited when he heard the news!

But at the same time, he was a little worried. Could Tian E really escape the pursuit of the God Mountain Decree with An Liya?

Whoosh—thud!

Qiao Yu's body plunged into the snow like a straight spear.

After a while, An Liya crawled out of the thick layer of snow.

"This... is outside the Fallen God Pit? We're really out?"

A hint of surprise flashed across An Liya's face. The Fallen God Pit was dark and sunless, without even day or night.

Seeing the starry sky with snowflakes falling, An Liya's mood instantly became cheerful.

"Big sister... now that we're out, can you get off me first?" Qiao Yu's voice sounded from under An Liya's butt.

"Ah! I'm sorry!"

An Liya panicked when she heard this and stood up immediately.

Little did she know that Qiao Yu's eyes were already wide open below. With the super vision of the Ghost Eye, Qiao Yu had a completely unobstructed view of the scenery under An Liya's white dress.

He didn't expect that An Liya, who looked aloof and detached from the world, would actually wear underwear with fruit patterns. People are so hard to know!

"Tian E, why are you bleeding from the nose?"

An Liya tilted her head in confusion. Bright red blood dripped on the white snow, which was very conspicuous.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been a little feverish recently."

Qiao Yu quickly wiped away the nosebleed and stood up, pretending to be a gentleman, and then quickly changed the subject.

"An Liya, do you know where this is?"

Qiao Yu looked around. The vicinity seemed to be a plain, and not far away was a dilapidated small town.

There were only a few scattered houses in the town, and the lights that lit up shone through the windows frozen by snowflakes, which looked a little dazzling in the dark night.

"I don't know... but this place feels particularly familiar to me. I seem... to have been here before?"

An Liya's eyes were filled with doubt. She looked around blankly, and then focused her gaze on the dilapidated town not far away.

"Tian E, let's go over there and take a look. I want to go over and see." An Liya said proactively.

"Okay!"

Qiao Yu nodded. He also noticed that An Liya seemed to be in a strange state.

The two walked towards the dilapidated town against the heavy snow.

After entering the town, Qiao Yu realized that the town was even more dilapidated than it looked from a distance.

Everywhere there were ruins and broken walls, and the houses had traces of fire damage. This town did not seem to have declined naturally, but was burned into this dilapidated state by a fire.

An Liya stretched out her slender white hand and gently stroked a wall that had been blackened by fire.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a strong sense of sadness, and she didn't know where this emotion came from.

"Who are you? What are you doing in front of my house?"

A blonde, blue-eyed middle-aged woman tilted her head and curiously looked at Qiao Yu and An Liya. She was holding a pile of wood in her hand.

"I'm sorry, we don't have any malicious intent. If we've disturbed you, we'll leave right away." An Liya quickly apologized.

"The wind and snow outside are heavy, why don't you come in and rest before leaving? There are large plains nearby, and you won't be able to walk out."

The woman was very enthusiastic, and before Qiao Yu and An Liya could object, she pushed the two into the house.

"Crackling!"

In the closet, the sound of firewood burning drowned out the sound of wind and snow outside. Although this cabin was not big, it blocked all the wind and snow outside.

After entering this cabin, An Liya's emotions became even more unstable.

She had a terrible headache, as if there was something she couldn't remember.

"An Liya, are you okay? Were you injured in the Fallen God Pit?" Qiao Yu asked worriedly.

"I... I don't know! I always feel like everything here is very familiar to me, but I can't remember why." An Liya's beautiful eyebrows were completely furrowed.

"Ahahaha, hot coffee is here!"

At this moment, the woman walked over with two cups of hot coffee.

"Drink it while it's hot, warm up your body! Drinking coffee is such a wonderful thing!"
