A heaven-shaking battle was on the brink of erupting. The clash plunged sky and earth into darkness, blotting out day and night, while the sea turned red with blood.
With Princess Yinqiu in his arms, Xu Yi raced three hundred li away in one breath. He could still feel the violent aftershocks in the air, so he hurriedly activated another Swift Wind Talisman and flashed another three hundred li away. Only after finding a desolate valley and activating the Hidden Spirit Pearl did he finally let out a long breath.
At the time, he was hiding beneath the sea's surface, but his divine sense continued to stream out without pause, giving him a clear view of the battle raging across the sky and sea.
At the same time, he had activated the Hidden Spirit Pearl, successfully evading the eyes watching from outside.
However, when his divine sense picked up that Princess Yinqiu might be in danger, Xu Yi could no longer hold back. He activated a Swift Wind Talisman and, in that hair's breadth of time, swept Princess Yinqiu into his arms and shot skyward.
Princess Yinqiu swung a pair of gleaming golden daggers around to stab Xu Yi in the chest, but the transformed Xu Yi said, "It's me."
Her jade-white hand loosened, and the golden daggers fell through the air. Xu Yi hurriedly sent out his divine sense to catch them.
In the blink of an eye, by the time he handed the daggers back to Princess Yinqiu, the two of them were already in the secluded valley.
Princess Yinqiu stared at Xu Yi in utter disbelief, her thoughts adrift.
Born into a renowned family, she had always conducted herself by strict rules. Though Xu Yi had once stirred her heart, she knew nothing could come of it.
