Yang Cheng calculated with great precision during the battle, killing Qiongqi without using any unnecessary strength.
But the human heart is something that Yang Cheng finds difficult to fathom.
As he expected, Shebi Shi and the others should be frightened by him and dare not chase after him anymore. Who would have thought that he hadn't escaped far when he sensed the aura of Shebi Shi and the others chasing after him from behind, which made Yang Cheng's heart sink.
Using the Law of Heaven and Earth was too taxing. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as fully activating the Heavenly Eye, it still consumed 80% of Yang Cheng's power, leaving him without the strength to directly confront Shebi Shi and the others.
If they catch up again, Yang Cheng will have no choice but to activate his Heavenly Eye or unseal the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword and fight them with all his might.
However, in that case, Yang Cheng would at most be able to kill one person, but he himself would still be in danger.
While pondering how to break the deadlock, Yang Cheng fled, but as he ran, he found himself trapped in a fog, which caused his expression to change drastically.
When did he enter this fog? Here, his senses were suppressed to within a meter of his surroundings, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Meanwhile, Shebishi and the others also caught up to the outside of the mist.
Upon seeing the mist, the three of them seemed to realize something, and their expressions changed slightly.
The Taiyi Profound Heart Formation! This is a divine formation set up by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden!
Shebishi respectfully addressed the mist, "Greetings, Lady Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. We have been tracking Yang Cheng, the Pure Source Dao Mystic True Lord of the Divine Court, to this place. We wonder if you have seen him before? Could you hand him over to us?"
Although Shebishi was on Gonggong's side, she had spoken ill of Jiutian Xuannv to Gonggong and even helped Gonggong come up with ideas to steal Jiutian Xuannv's credit.
But when he actually faced the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Shebishi dared not show the slightest disrespect, for he knew how fierce she was.
"roll."
A clear, cold female voice came from within the mist, immediately plunging Shebi Shi and the other two into shock and anger.
Despite their extreme frustration, Shebishi had no choice but to obediently bow and say, "I take my leave!"
The three of them didn't dare to say another word and turned to leave.
Yang Cheng then emerged from the mist and entered a cave.
As Yang Cheng walked into the cave, he was utterly astonished by what he saw inside.
There was a woman standing there.
Even though the woman was right in front of him, Yang Cheng couldn't sense any presence from her, as if she were air.
Moreover, the woman's attire was also strange. It wasn't that the clothes were strange, but rather that the outfit looked awkward in this setting.
She was wearing gray sweatpants, a tank top and a hooded sweatshirt, her hair was casually loose, and she wore a baseball cap. She had a Xiaomi Mi Band on her left wrist and an Apple Watch on her right.
This outfit makes them look like college students preparing to go out for a morning exercise, rather than someone from a world filled with fierce killing intent.
At this moment, Yang Cheng suddenly thought of something and looked sharply at the left hand, which was wearing a Xiaomi bracelet and looked like white jade.
He had seen this hand before; it was the hand of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden of the Divine Court!
Yang Cheng's heart tightened, and his aura instantly sharpened.
He had previously exchanged 1% of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's inheritance for the Seven Killings Star Lord's inheritance, and he had seen this hand back then.
But at that time, the conflicts between the various forces in the cycle of reincarnation were not so serious, and the strength of the two sides was vastly different, so there were not many conflicts.
But now that the Divine Court and the Heavenly Palace are locked in a fierce confrontation, and he has even killed two apostles at the Four Symbols Realm, how could the other side possibly let him go?
At this moment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden suddenly said, "Don't be nervous, I don't eat people."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden turned around, and Yang Cheng finally saw her face.
The appearance of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was not particularly outstanding; she could only be described as pretty.
But every inch of her skin radiated a warm, jade-like luster, and her temperament was ethereal and otherworldly. Even her delicate features were imbued with a celestial beauty, making one feel as if she were a fairy descended from heaven, and one dared not defile her in the slightest.
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "Although you don't eat people, you should have sensed that Shebi Shi and the others are chasing me. I also killed Wu Xian and Qiongqi from the Divine Court."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded slightly and said, "Wu Xian, that old lecher, and Qiongqi, that little madman, are both very annoying, but they are also quite capable. I am truly surprised that you were able to kill them."
"No need to think too much, I can't be bothered to avenge them. We're not on the same side. They're all under Gonggong's command, and they might even be hoping to see me suffer."
Yang Cheng was slightly taken aback.
The three groups that entered Paradise Island should all have close relationships with each other, so why is the Divine Court divided into two factions?
Seeing Yang Cheng's appearance, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said calmly, "How could so many reincarnators in the Divine Court be of one mind?"
The mission on Paradise Island was originally supposed to be entirely handled by Mu Jiu's Nine Netherworld, but the Wood God Jumang didn't want the Nine Netherworld to take all the credit, and he didn't have enough influential figures under his command, so he put me and Da Yi here.
So Gonggong and his ilk don't like me, and I can't care who they want to kill.
Yang Cheng knew of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's formidable record, so he asked with a hint of curiosity, "But with your strength and position, even if someone wanted to use you as a tool to kill someone else and force you into this mission, you should be able to refuse, right? Even the Eastern Emperor couldn't force you, could he?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden pointed to the wall at the end of the cave and said, "Of course I could refuse, but Jumang said that there was something I wanted on Paradise Island, so I wanted to come and see for myself. He really didn't lie to me."
