After leaving the Divine Tripod Space, Zhu Fei didn’t rush to depart. Instead, he took out the Communication Pearl he had used to contact Ji Xuanyue before.
Now that the Wantian Sect and Seven-color Sect had shown up, this signified that there might be individuals from other forces within these Ancient Relics at the mont.
Therefore, under any circumstances, he had to make contact with Ji Xuanyue as soon as possible and et up with her in the shortest ti.
The Communication Pearl emitted a glow, as Zhu Fei had just begun to probe it with his Divine Sense, the connection was imdiately disrupted.
This result, actually, had not been beyond Zhu Fei’s expectations, but he still used a Divine Thought Brand to inscribe a ssage within the Communication Pearl.
He also branded his current location and the places he might head to next inside the Communication Pearl.
After doing all of this, Zhu Fei confird a direction and then dashed off in that direction.
...
Inside a deep and secluded hall, Ji Xuanyue was covered in blood.
Her arm, abdon, and thighs all bore injuries of varying degrees, her previously waterfall-like glossy black hair now also looked sowhat disheveled.
Her delicate body kept flying forward, her teeth biting down hard on her lips, her eyes devoid of any sign of submission, resolute and determined!
"You wretch! At this point, why not hand over the treasure you’ve obtained? Elder Lihuo, considering the matter of the treasure, might just spare you. Otherwise, shortly we’ll make you wish for death yet unable to die!"
Just then, an extrely stern chastising voice suddenly rang out from behind Ji Xuanyue.
If Zhu Fei were here, he would have recognized the owner of the voice scolding Ji Xuanyue as Huang Tiannan, the Cultivator of Harmonization Second Level whom he had encountered in the Lost Mountain Range before.
Now, by Huang Tiannan’s side, there followed none other than the chief Elder of the Sky Burning Palace, Elder Lihuo of Harmonization Ninth Level!
At that mont, his face was somber, and his eyes, looking ahead at Ji Xuanyue, were filled with bone-chilling coldness and intent to kill.
Because just monts before, Ji Xuanyue had, right before his eyes, taken away one of the most precious treasures in this hall in advance.
Setting aside their previous grievances in the Lost Mountain Range, rely Ji Xuanyue’s recent action had rendered Elder Lihuo utterly intolerant.
He ford a hand seal, and then pointed swiftly toward Ji Xuanyue ahead.
Instantly, a frightening strand of blue-black fla shot out from the fingertips of Elder Lihuo, igniting the air around it as it passed, bursting forth with intense fiery light.
Ji Xuanyue felt the threat looming from behind again, she dared not confront it head-on, and once more, her Mana surged into the Flying Shuttle Light beneath her.
The Flying Shuttle Light moved swiftly laterally, dragging the surrounding space along and creating a folded spatial wall. She barely managed to dodge Elder Lihuo’s casual strike at the last split second.
But as a result, Ji Xuanyue, already heavily injured, felt her internal wounds again worsen.
Not only that, but even her Flying Shuttle Contract Spirit Light had taken considerable damage in the tense escape just now.
If not for Elder Lihuo’s concern about the treasure, afraid of pressing Ji Xuanyue too hard and causing her to damage that treasure thus reducing the potency of his own attack, Ji Xuanyue would most likely have been unable to hold out until now.
In fact, Elder Lihuo was sowhat overthinking things.
A treasure is called a treasure for a reason, naturally possessing an extraordinary uniqueness that’s not so easily destroyed by others.
Although Elder Lihuo was aware of this, with his concerns and high regard, he was not at that mont willing to make this a wager.
Because even that brief glance earlier had given Elder Lihuo an instinctive feeling, the treasure now in Ji Xuanyue’s possession was of incredible importance to him.
Its value, in fact, surpassed everything he currently possessed, including a Mid Grade Dao Artifact that he had yet to use.
However, at this mont, seeing Ji Xuanyue dodge his attack once again, the rage he had been suppressing finally beca difficult to contain.
Suddenly, he let out a cold snort and raised his hand, and inexplicably, the space in front of Ji Xuanyue emitted a "crack" sound, as if glass were shattering, and countless cracks appeared out of thin air!
"Not good!"
Senior Liu Guang let out a startled shout, as his elderly apparition’s face also drastically changed.
He looked at Ji Xuanyue, his expression becoming extrely solemn.
"Little Ji, at this point, I can only burn my own Divine Soul. After this, I will fall into a deep slumber for a long ti, and you will have to rely on yourself for everything that follows."
Upon suddenly hearing Contract Spirit Light’s words, Ji Xuanyue’s expression also changed.
She asked hesitantly, "Senior Liu Guang, is there really no other way?"
Ji Xuanyue was well aware that once a Dao Artifact’s Contract Spirit burned its Divine Soul, it would directly damage their foundation, and if it were severe, it could even cut off their potential for future advancent.
Such a heavy price was sothing she truly did not want Contract Spirit Light to pay unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, Contract Spirit Light gave a bitter smile, "Little Ji, this is our only chance. The enemy’s strength is simply too great. We must take advantage of the fact that he hasn’t taken his best shot yet and leave this place right away."
"Otherwise, once he catches on or notices this detail, by then even if we want to do this, we won’t have the chance anymore."
The ti Contract Spirit Light and Ji Xuanyue spent communicating via Divine Thought was but the blink of an eye.
After speaking, Contract Spirit Light, paying no heed to Ji Xuanyue’s objections, imdiately began to emanate an extrely dazzling light.
The entire flying shuttle also instantly displayed countless dense Mysterious Runes.
A trendous surge of spatial fluctuations suddenly burst forth from the body of the Flying Shuttle Light, carrying Ji Xuanyue, and they broke through the layers of spatial blockade directly, vanishing into the void with a flash of light!
"Damn it!"
Upon seeing this scene, Elder Lihuo was montarily stunned, then his face turned ashen.
A fierce light shone in his eyes, and after coldly saying "Let’s go" to Huang Tiannan, he tore through space and took the lead in the chase.
Huang Tiannan shivered internally and dared not delay, swiftly following the torn space created by Elder Lihuo and pursued as well.
...
"Whoosh—"
When Ji Xuanyue reappeared, she found herself already within a vast expanse of black mountains.
The flying shuttle beneath her had dimd completely; without asking, it was evident that Contract Spirit Light had fallen into a deep slumber.
Although Ji Xuanyue felt sorrow in her heart, she knew this was not the ti for such thoughts. The priority was to get as far away from this place as possible, the further the better.
But just as she was about to hide the flying shuttle and fly away alone, a ripple of spatial waves suddenly appeared in the void behind her!
