The black shadow arrived in an instant. At the same time, an extremely powerful soul force appeared. Elder Lei Zhen sensed that the soul force was not trivial and immediately used his cultivation to block it. With a “bang” sound, he was actually pushed back a few steps.

“What a strong soul …”

Elder Lei Zhen immediately stood firm and stared at the black figure that had suddenly arrived. He could not see it clearly under the night sky, but he could feel that that person was no ordinary person. He said in a low voice, “May I ask who Your Excellency is …”

Ku Lingzi did not reply. He was the one who chased after Xiao Chen earlier. At this moment, he sent a divine sense to Xiao Chen, “Kid, my soul power won’t last long. I’m not leaving yet!”

Xiao Chen instantly reacted. He immediately brought Guisi and Shen Jing out. Just as Elder Lei Zhen was about to chase after him, Ku Lingzi formed a seal with both of his hands. A black soul mark immediately appeared between his eyebrows. It blossomed with a ghostly light and blocked Elder Lei Zhen from reaching a distance of ten zhang.

After blocking Elder Lei Zhen’s path, Ku Lingzi did not hesitate anymore. In an instant, he turned into a swift figure and disappeared into the night.

Elder Lei Zhen looked in the direction where the few of them had disappeared. He was still shocked. Just now, that person’s soul power … How could it be so powerful that it caused him to feel suffocating pressure? Who exactly was that person?

“Elder!”

At this moment, dozens of disciples from the Thunder Shaking Palace finally rushed over. Elder Lei Zhen’s eyes narrowed and he waved his sleeve. Dozens of purple talismans landed in the hands of the dozens of disciples. “Bring the Lightning Oracle Talisman and follow their tracks!”

“Yes!”

Dozens of disciples formed seals with their hands and immediately disappeared.

Xiao Chen and Shen Jing escaped from the Thunder Shaking Palace and headed east. However, Guisi was in danger. Blood flowed out of his mouth and his face became paler and paler. He said angrily, “The people from the Thunder Shaking Palace brought out the Lightning Oracle Talisman and headed towards Dongjie Mountains. They couldn’t find it.”

“Si Que, hold on!”

Xiao Chen injected another stream of True Essence into his body. However, he was seriously injured after all. His internal organs were all damaged by Elder Lei Zhen’s palm strike. If he did not receive timely treatment, his life would be in danger.

Shen Jing flew over from the side and waved her hand. A wisp of purple fragrance immediately entered his nose. This was the temporary life-saving method of the Spirit Pivot Palace. It could help Guisi but temporarily relieve his injuries.

About a hundred miles away, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them. They were You Qin and You Chang. Seeing Xiao Chen and the others arrive, You Chang immediately stepped forward and said, “This way!”

Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He immediately picked up Guisi and left with the two of them. After traveling for more than ten miles, he finally met Madam Xian Shu. Along with her, there were also a few female disciples of Lian Hua Palace.

“How is Wei Yang now?”

Xiao Chen looked at Hua Weiyang and saw that her face was deathly pale. Her eyes were closed and she was held by a female disciple. She seemed to have fallen into a coma.

“She … has temporarily fallen asleep.”

As she spoke, Madam Xian Shu frowned deeply. Why did Hua Weiyang have such a powerful aura of coldness in her body? Actually, she did not know that even though her relationship with Hua Weiyang had reached such a close level, Hua Weiyang had never told her about it. In the past, whenever she asked about it, Hua Weiyang would always keep quiet.

At this time, Madam Xian Shu noticed Xiao Chen in Guisi’s hand and asked, “Is he injured?”

“Mm …”

Xiao Chen frowned. He did not know what was going on in Wei Yang, but Guisi’s situation was not optimistic. He had suffered from Elder Lei Zhen’s fatal palm strike just now and his heart was damaged. He needed immediate treatment. Otherwise, not only would his life be in danger, even if he was cured, the future would be greatly affected in his cultivation.

“Cough … cough cough …”

However, Guisi’s aura was weak. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and said weakly, “Let’s go … this place is not suitable. Soon, they will catch up … to Dongjie, the mountains …”

Madam Xian Shu glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Gate. It was obviously impossible for them to return to the Flower Pity Palace now. The Heavenly Gate was so powerful that it was not as insignificant as they had seen. Once the Heavenly Gate truly used all of its strength, it could instantly seal off their path of retreat. Therefore, they could only walk towards Dongjie and could not go back.

“Let’s go!”

Madam Xian Shu did not hesitate anymore. She stretched out her hand and immediately summoned a cloud stone from the sky. This cloud stone was the cloud stone of the Lian Hua Palace. It could carry more than ten people, and its speed was very fast. However, the journey to Dong Jie was far. No matter how fast it was, it would still take two days.

Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He looked at Guisi and said, “Si Que, hold on.” With that, he kicked his feet and flew up into the clouds.

At this moment, Hua Wei Yang was unconscious and had to be continuously injected with Spiritual Energy by Lady Xian Shu. However, Guisi was also heavily injured and needed to be treated by Shen Jing. During this period, she could no longer endure any turbulence. As for Ku Lingzi, she had to return to the Soul Jade to cultivate because she had consumed too much Soul Energy.

However, the Eastern Region was the Heavenly Gate’s territory. If it was slightly slower, the people from the Heavenly Gate would soon catch up. The current situation was extremely unfavorable to them.

After everyone reached the clouds, Madam Xian Shu immediately formed a seal with her fingers and controlled the clouds to fly towards the Dongjie Mountains. In an instant, she disappeared into the boundless clouds.

Two days later, the clouds and stones had already flown out of the Heavenly Gate’s search area. Apart from the boundless mountains and fields, there were also many ordinary small towns and villages along the way. However, perhaps because of the shift of the spirit veins last time, many villages on Dongjie’s side had been destroyed, and only the ruins of the ruins were left.

Looking at the devastated land, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but think of the Ancient Village and Ning Village. Dongjie and the other villages were destroyed by natural disasters, but the Ancient Village and Ning Village were caused by people. Unfortunately, he didn’t even know who his enemy was, so how could he take revenge?

By dusk, he had finally approached the Dongjie Mountains. Seeing a mountain range ahead, Xiao Chen suddenly felt very familiar. Wasn’t this the place where he met Wei Yang back then?

At this moment, his thoughts rose and fell. He stood up from the edge of the clouds and stones. Back then, everything was like a picture scroll that swept past his heart. Back then, Wei Yang disguised himself as a strange granny, and it was here that Xu Taichang and He Chongtian chased after him.

Back then, he was still a teenager. Now that so many years had passed in the blink of an eye, the mountains and rivers were still the same. Was he still the same?

“Young Hero Xiao, what did you see?”

Lady Xian Shu asked when she saw that he was suddenly distracted.

“No …”

Xiao Chen sat back down and looked at Wei Yang. Seeing that she was so haggard and still unconscious, and recalling the scene of her acquaintance at the beginning of the past, he couldn’t help but feel a little bitter in his heart.

“Cough … cough cough …”

On the other hand, Guisi’s injuries were delayed by Shen Jing’s treatment, but her heart meridians were damaged, and it was difficult to recover for a while.

Only the Nine Flowers Jade Dew that Shen Jing had prepared with her spirit pivot could repair her damaged heart meridians. However, it would take at least three hours for the Nine Flowers Jade Dew to be completed.

Seeing that he was coughing, Xiao Chen immediately walked over and said, “Si Que, can you still hold on?”

“No problem …”

Guisi’s face was pale as he waved his hand. At this moment, the entire rock trembled violently. A few Lianhua Palace disciples were suddenly shocked and immediately protected Hua Weiyang’s surroundings.
