Gongshu Yan's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "You are the root cause of the destruction of the aristocratic families in Tianpan Mountain Mechanized City. If you hadn't humiliated Gongshu Zhan, how could the aristocratic families have been wiped out?"

"Since we've met here, let's die together with Qin Cheng!"

Lan Hua carried Qin Cheng away at high speed, with a huge creature closely following behind them, like a deadly grim reaper.

Qin Cheng, seriously injured and unwilling to burden Lan Hua, sincerely said, "Brother Lan, please put me aside; this is the mess I caused!"

"What nonsense!"

Lan Hua snorted, "Now that we're friends, how can we not help a friend in danger? Don't you agree?"

Qin Cheng said with a wry smile, "But if you carry me, we can't outrun that mechanical beast!"

"Although the white tiger is the weakest of the four mechanical beasts, it is still a True-Rank beast. You can't beat it!"

The white tiger following behind the two had spread its wings and was keeping up closely. Gongshu Yan stood on the white tiger's back, looking calm and composed, as if he had the two of them completely under his control.

Lan Hua asked, "Do you know what powers the mechanical beasts?"

Qin Cheng, puzzled, guessed, "Could it be something like spirit stones?"

"That's right, pretty much. The power source of the mechanical beast must be spiritual energy, which is converted into elemental power to drive the mechanical beast's operation."

If we can hold out for a while, until the White Tiger's momentum weakens, we'll have a chance to counterattack!

All of this was told to him by Mo Tu, and Lan Hua only hoped that Bai Hu would do the same.

Although mechanical beasts are powerful, they are not cultivators after all. Once their energy is depleted, they cannot recover on their own and need to replenish their energy source.

How long will it take?

"have no idea!"

After Lan Hua's prompting, Qin Cheng's mind raced, and he suddenly said, "Brother Lan, I still have a flying treasure on me, which might be able to shake off the mechanical beasts' pursuit!"

With a wave of his hand, Qin Cheng summoned a cloud boat that appeared beneath their feet, and Lan Hua felt her speed increase dramatically.

"Brother Lan, this Flowing Cloud Boat is extremely light and can just carry two people. It doesn't consume much Yuan energy, so this mechanical beast definitely can't keep up!"

Lan Hua was overjoyed, "If you had such a good thing, why didn't you use it sooner?"

Qin Cheng said awkwardly, "As a sword cultivator, I have never been afraid of battle. How could I retreat without a fight? That would affect my sword spirit!"

"Knife Heart?"

Lan Hua was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Qin Cheng's understanding of the Dao of the Blade was much higher than her own.

Qin Cheng added, "However, I am currently seriously injured and unable to control the Flowing Cloud Boat, so I will leave it to you!"

Lan Hua took over and controlled the Flowing Cloud Boat, saying, "No problem, take this opportunity to heal your injuries. We still need to launch a counterattack against this old man!"

"good!"

Qin Cheng immediately began to heal his injuries, his body shimmering with light, like a bright lamp in the sky.

Gongshu Yan was furious when he saw that the two of them actually had a rather fast flying magic weapon.

"I refuse to believe that a White Tiger with the strength of a True Rank cultivator cannot catch up with this tiny flying boat."

With a slight twitch of its finger, the mechanical beast received the command and immediately accelerated to give chase.

Seeing that the mechanical beast's speed had increased, Lan Hua also activated her Yuan Power to increase the speed of the Flowing Cloud Boat.

"This Flowing Cloud Boat is indeed a good thing. It's already this fast, and there's still room for it to grow!"

With Lan Hua's cultivation level, he could have gone even faster, but he understood that the white tiger hadn't used its full strength either.

Liu Yunzhou and Baihu chased each other in the sky. Lan Hua kept flying in one direction, but Gongshu Yan seemed determined to catch them.

A month passed quickly, and the chase in the air was still not over. Even though Lan Hua did not drive the Flowing Cloud Boat at full power, she still consumed a lot of her Yuan energy.

However, the mechanical beasts behind them continued to pursue relentlessly, showing no sign of slowing down.

"What a hassle!"

Although Lan Hua has become a Celestial Being, the rate at which spiritual energy is converted into Yuan Power cannot keep up with the output over such a long period of time. If this continues, there will eventually be a time when her Yuan Power will be exhausted.

"Brother Qin, how are you?" Lan Hua asked.

Qin Cheng slightly opened his eyes, "Almost there, my injuries have mostly healed, and I'll be fully recovered in another two or three days!"

Seemingly noticing that Lan Hua's Yuan energy was somewhat depleted, Qin Cheng stood up, looked around, and found the place extremely unfamiliar.

"Brother Lan, how long have we been flying?"

"It's been a month!"

"What? It's been that long?" Qin Cheng was taken aback.

Lan Hua asked, "Brother Qin, do you know where this place is?"

Qin Cheng looked into the distance, a solemn expression on his face.

In that far distance, silver light would occasionally fall, like lightning, but Qin Cheng knew it wasn't.

"Brother Lan, I'm afraid we need to change direction. If we continue flying in this direction, we'll reach the desolate land of the heavens!"

Lan Hua's heart skipped a beat, "Tianhuang?"

"Damn, how did I fly here?"

Qin Cheng then looked at the pursuing mechanical beast and Gongshu Yan, his brows furrowing. "It's been a month, why is there still no sign of the mechanical beast's power waning?"

Lan Hua shook her head and said, "I'm puzzled too. The only explanation is that the Yuan Power of True Rank cultivators is unimaginable, far exceeding ours!"

Qin Chengchou said, "If we choose another direction, we probably still won't escape the mechanical beasts' pursuit. Perhaps there's only one way!"

Lan Hua had already guessed what Qin Cheng was thinking and said, "Does Qin Cheng intend to directly break into Tianhuang?"

“That’s right. The environment in Tianhuang is harsh and there are many variables. If that old codger Gongshu Yan is too timid to enter, then we can use Tianhuang as a route to get out from other places!”

Lan Hua nodded. "Let's do it that way!"

After flying for another day, a barrier appeared before them. Both of them knew that beyond the barrier lay the desolate wilderness, a place of great danger.

"rush!"

Qin Cheng and Lan Hua shouted together, and without the slightest hesitation, they rushed into Tianhuang.

Gongshu Yan was taken aback by their determination. "So, you've chosen to enter Tianhuang just to avoid me!"

"Hmph, I'll play along with you. I'd like to see if this desolate place is really as terrifying as the legends say!"

The reason Gongshu Yan dared to enter Tianhuang was entirely because he had the White Tiger mechanical beast by his side; if he were alone, he would never have dared to act rashly.

Upon entering Tianhuang, the world suddenly darkened, and Lan Hua and Qin Cheng seemed to be in darkness, but it was not complete darkness.

Even without using their Yuan Power, the two could still see.

Perhaps because it was close to the outside of the barrier, the surrounding scenery was still very similar to the outside, but there were occasional pebbles floating in the sky.

Seeing Gongshu Yan catching up, Qin Cheng asked, "Shall we go further?"

"Of course, now that things have come to this, let's just go all the way down this path!"

The two piloted the Flowing Cloud Boat further into the depths of Tianhuang. In less than half an hour, Lan Hua and the other person finally witnessed the wonders of Tianhuang.

The peaks were towering, and even the trees were enormous, each one incredibly huge, making it hard for the two to believe that these were really trees.

Not only that, but the number of pebbles in the sky is also increasing and getting bigger, to the point that they can be described as boulders.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed and struck the Flowing Cloud Boat without warning, startling Qin Cheng into quickly dodging.

boom!

The silver light finally struck the boulder in the air, splitting it into several pieces.

"What is this silvery light?" Lan Hua asked curiously.
