A white giant eagle and a black giant hawk flew across the sky like a white and black lightning, attracting countless passers-by to stop and watch, wondering what kind of high-level mysterious beast it was. But soon, the eagle and the eagle flew farther and farther, higher and higher, and soon disappeared completely above the clouds.
"Xiaoxue! Higher!"
The giant snow sculpture was all white, and Lan Xueruo hoped that after it flew above the clouds, it could use the white clouds to hide its body. But Yun Che knew very well that if it was another type of flying profound beast chasing after it, this might work, but, it happened that there was an eagle behind it, and the eagle was the real overlord of the sky. In the high altitude domain, nothing could escape the eagle's eyes.
The giant snow eagle flew higher and higher, and it had already passed through countless layers of clouds. But the Storm Eagle behind it was still chasing it. The giant snow eagle could fly very high, enough to control an altitude of 5,000 meters, but in terms of flying altitude, it was far from being comparable to an eagle. An ordinary adult eagle could fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, let alone a Storm Eagle of the Lingxuan level.
Fortunately, the flying speed of the Giant Snow Sculpture was not inferior to that of the Storm Eagle. Although it was following closely behind, it always kept the same distance. The Giant Snow Sculpture could not shake off the Storm Eagle, and the Storm Eagle could not catch up with the Giant Snow Sculpture for a while. However, the Giant Snow Sculpture was lower in rank than the Storm Eagle after all, and its endurance was naturally far inferior. This state could not be maintained for too long. It was only a matter of time before the Storm Eagle caught up with the Giant Snow Sculpture.
“As far as I know, this Storm Eagle was captured alive by the Xiao Sect a few years ago. It seems that it has not been completely tamed yet, and it is not a contracted mysterious beast. There is a risk of it escaping if it is released. So unless it is a big deal, they will not release this Storm Eagle at all... Junior Brother Yun, what on earth did you do to the Xiao Sect?” Lan Xueruo said nervously, holding the feathers of the giant snow eagle tightly.
The wind whistled in his ears like thunder. Facing Lan Xueruo’s question, Yun Che hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: “You may not believe it if I tell you this… I completely destroyed Xiao Luocheng, causing them to lose 600,000 Purple Profound Coins in vain…” Yun Che paused, and chose a statement that was still acceptable to others: “I also completely destroyed their sect’s treasure house.”
"Ah!" Lan Xueruo's beautiful eyes widened, her lips opened wide, and she stared at him blankly, as if she was looking at a monster.
“I swear on my appearance that these are all true.” Yun Che said helplessly.
“…” Lan Xueruo was speechless for a long time. She did not doubt Yun Che’s words. She was sure that with the temperament of Yun Che she had seen, he would never use such ridiculous words to deceive her at this time. And it was precisely because she did not doubt that she was extremely shocked. She was shocked that Yun Che, a young man at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm, could actually cause such a mess to the largest sect in Xinyue City by himself. This was simply unbelievable. What was shocking was... destroying Xiao Luocheng and losing 600,000 purple profound coins was already a deep hatred, and destroying the sect’s treasure house... This was more than a deep hatred! This hatred was enough to last for thousands of generations in this sect!
If the Xiao Sect branch didn't spare no effort to tear Yun Che into pieces this time, even she would not be able to bear it.
No wonder Xiao Zong even released the Storm Eagle in order to hunt him down.
Lan Xueruo was originally thinking about whether to stop her pointless escape and reveal her identity, which would be enough to protect Yun Che. But after hearing what Yun Che said, she completely gave up the idea. With what Yun Che had done, if he fell into the hands of Xiao Zong, not to mention her, even if she brought her father out, it would be impossible to save him.
Looking at Lan Xueruo’s reaction, Yun Che said with some guilt: “Senior Sister Xueruo, I’m sorry. I have implicated you.”
Lan Xueruo shook her head gently: "This is my own choice, there is no such thing as getting involved or not." She smiled gently and said comfortingly: "Besides, it is the duty of the senior sister to protect the lovely junior brother."
"It's too early to say that we'll be implicated now. We may not be able to escape. Maybe they will stop chasing us after a while. Or maybe... the Storm Eagle suddenly becomes disobedient and flies in another direction. Anything is possible... Xiaoxue, fly faster!"
Listening to Lan Xueruo's words, Yun Che's expression flashed with some complexity. When Lan Xueruo said these words, he did not see a trace of regret, falsehood, or impurities in the depths of her eyes, not a single trace.
He didn't want to owe anyone anything, but this time, he owed them something. What he owed was a life-saving favor, or perhaps, some kind of emotion...
"Speaking of which, Junior Brother Yun, how did you sneak into the Xiao Sect? And how did you bring such harm to the Xiao Sect? Can you tell me about it?"
Lan Xueruo must have been extremely nervous at this moment, but when she spoke, her eyes were filled with pure curiosity, which made Yun Che, who wanted to hide all this, powerless to refuse. He thought for a moment and told her: "A long time ago, I had a master. I learned some medical skills from him, including the art of disguise. Xiao Luocheng was seriously injured by me, and the sect must have been looking for a doctor all over the city, so I disguised myself as a middle-aged doctor... and sneaked into the Xiao Sect..."
Yun Che was naturally very eloquent, and he vividly described to Lan Xueruo what had happened in Xiao Sect in the past few days. Of course, he did not mention things such as the Wang Xuanlong Pill that could not be known to others. The whole process was undoubtedly wonderful. Lan Xueruo, who was listening directly, sometimes opened her pink lips, sometimes covered her mouth and laughed, and sometimes her face was full of shock... Especially when she heard that he was mistaken for a peerless doctor, and that Xiao Luocheng kowtowed to him, she laughed so hard that tears burst out of the corners of her eyes... During the whole process, she seemed to have forgotten that she was in danger.
One hour passed, two hours passed...
The sky had already darkened. In two hours, hundreds of miles of air passed by in the whistling sound. Yun Che and Lan Xueruo were almost deaf. They no longer knew where they were. They looked back countless times, and each time they could still clearly see the shadow of the giant black eagle.
"Oh no! They're almost catching up! Xiaoxue, fly faster, Xiaoxue!!"
Yun Che turned around and saw that the Storm Eagle behind him had closed in from a thousand meters away to less than three hundred meters away. Sitting on the back of the giant snow eagle, Yun Che could clearly feel its body spasming... Flying at full speed for two hours, that is, four hours, this was almost a miracle for a true profound beast. If it was not Lan Xueruo's contracted profound beast and had absolute loyalty to Lan Xueruo, it would have been impossible for it to persist to this point.
The grade advantage of the Storm Eagle was clearly revealed at this time. Its flying speed showed almost no signs of slowing down, and the occasional eagle cry was full of energy and resounded through the heavens and earth.
"Sister, there is no need to force it anymore. It has already overdrawn its strength. If we continue, it will directly damage its lifespan."
As the owner of the giant snow sculpture, Lan Xueruo knew its current state better than Yun Che. She bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly.
The giant snow eagle's body spasmed more and more violently, and even its posture was no longer so stable, but became shaky, and its speed became slower and slower. The Storm Eagle behind it was getting closer and closer. At this time, a ferocious voice came from behind them: "Little bastard, you made me chase you for so long! This time, let's see where you can run!!"
Yun Che turned around suddenly, and only then did he realize that the Storm Fierce Eagle had actually caught up to him within a hundred meters. He could see the entire appearance of the Storm Fierce Eagle, as well as the figure standing on its back, clearly... It was clearly Xiao Zai He!
"Senior Sister, let Xiaoxue fly down immediately, we should be ready..."
Yun Che stopped talking halfway because a sense of extreme danger came from behind him at that moment. He turned around almost at lightning speed and saw the strange weapon held up in Xiao Zaihe's hand on the back of the Storm Eagle.
That is...
Poison Fire Gun!!
Xiao Zaihe actually had a poisonous fire gun on him!
Before he could react, he saw a tongue of fire suddenly shoot out from the poisonous fire gun... Instantly, a dangerous aura that was deadly enough to kill flew over at a speed faster than sound. It was originally flying towards Yun Che, but under the interference of the violent airflow, it deviated slightly and flew straight towards Lan Xueruo's chest.
"Senior sister, be careful!!!"
Lan Xueruo, who looked back, had no idea that fatal danger was approaching. When she finally realized it, it was too late for her to react... In her dilated pupils, a dark object was getting closer and closer, and then it was firmly blocked by Yun Che's flying body...
puff!!
A large hole appeared on Yun Che’s left shoulder, and blood splattered everywhere. Although he had avoided the vital points, he still underestimated the power of the Poison Fire Gun. The moment he was hit by the Poison Fire Gun, he almost heard the grim laughter of the God of Death.
“Yun…Junior Brother Yun!!”
Lan Xueruo's body froze there, and it was not until she saw Yun Che's shoulder suddenly stained with blood that she cried out in fear and hastily supported his slowly falling body.
“Senior Sister…” He could endure the severe pain from the wound, but the mental distraction caused by the severe injury made him feel unable to hold on. His face turned pale, he bit the tip of his tongue, and said with difficulty: “That is… a poisonous musket, it is extremely poisonous… if you are hit… you will die… hold me… jump down… jump down… maybe you will die… but if you don’t jump down… you will definitely die…”
Highly toxic?
Looking at Yun Che's bloody shoulder, Lan Xueruo's heart trembled violently. With tears in her eyes, she nodded, then hugged Yun Che tightly: "Okay... let's jump down."
At this moment, facing Yun Che who was blocking her with his life, she still chose to follow him blindly even though they were thousands of meters in the air. She held Yun Che in her arms, stood up on the back of the giant snow sculpture, looked down at the vastness below, and said softly: "Xiaoxue, you've worked hard... Come back and have a good rest."
As the voice fell, the mark on the back of her hand flashed, the giant snow sculpture let out a long cry, and its huge body disappeared in the white light.
Yun Che and Lan Xueruo's bodies also fell straight down, falling to an unknown place below.
[The plot in New Moon City is just a transition. It is too abrupt to go from Floating Cloud City to Blue Wind Imperial City all of a sudden. Yun Che's first real stage is Blue Wind Imperial City, and what he faces should not be a small branch sect, but the four major sects that dominate the empire! ]
[Something happened at home, and I seem to have owed six or seven chapters since last Saturday. I have to stay in the hospital for a day this Saturday (today), so I may still owe them. This Mars has kept them in mind. Although the cycle may be a little long, I guarantee with my beauty that I will definitely make up for it! ! ]
