The King of Cowardice Makes a Move

East Prince Gong was shocked and enraged. He scanned the area near the Lunar Star with his divine sense but found nothing.

Who was it?!

Could it be the Heavenly Dao making a move? Or had Tai Yi returned early?!

Impossible!

Hongjun had not yet merged with the Dao.

Tai Yi was confronting Chen Tian and could not possibly break free so quickly!

Just as East Prince Gong's mind was reeling.

A stream of light, so blurred it was almost one with the clear radiance of the Lunar Star.

At an unbelievable speed and angle, it pierced through the array barrier, which had developed a gap due to the disturbance.

It silently appeared behind East Prince Gong.

East Prince Gong was, after all, a Great Power at the mid-Quasi-Saint stage, and his reaction was extremely fast.

The moment the stream of light approached, he sensed it. His protective immortal light automatically activated, and his Dragon Head Crutch transformed into a dragon shadow, sweeping backward!

However, the stream of light twisted strangely, as if it had foreseen the trajectory of the Dragon Head Crutch.

At an arc that defied logic, it grazed past the dragon shadow.

A slender and powerful hand reached out from the stream of light.

At its fingertips coiled a speck of condensed to the extreme, restrained to the extreme, dark golden Solar True Fire.

This flame did not emit the slightest heat or light, yet it carried a terrifying essence that could burn all things.

It lightly tapped the elbow joint of the arm with which East Prince Gong was gripping Chang Xi's neck.

A soft sound.

Like a hot knife cutting through butter.

East Prince Gong's protective immortal light, which was strong enough to contend with the true body of an Ancestor Witch, along with his powerful mid-Quasi-Saint physical body, were like paper in front of this speck of dark golden flame.

His forearm was severed at the elbow!

The severed end was smooth as a mirror, and not a drop of blood spurted out, as all flesh and blood had been instantly turned into nothingness by that dark golden flame!

"Ah--!!!"

The delayed pain and shock caused East Prince Gong to let out a piercing scream.

He whipped his head around?

He only saw a blurry, indistinct figure, as if shrouded in mist, catching the falling Chang Xi.

Then.

That figure unhesitatingly charged towards Xi He, who had also temporarily escaped confinement due to the loosening of the array!

"Stop him!!" East Prince Gong's eyes were about to split. Ignoring the pain of his severed arm, he frantically activated his Dragon Head Crutch and the remaining power of the array.

At the same time, his heart was filled with dread.

This flame... it was Solar True Fire! And it was incredibly pure and terrifying!

Who was this person?!

Tai Yi?

No, Tai Yi was at Buzhou Mountain, and his aura was overbearing and flamboyant, absolutely not this mysterious and unpredictable!

Qin Yuan was only an early-Quasi-Saint, even less likely.

The person who wielded this Solar True Fire had definitely reached the late-Quasi-Saint stage!

Who else in this Great Desolation could cultivate Solar True Fire to such a level?!

Could it be...

A name almost forgotten flashed through his mind, and East Prince Gong's pupils contracted sharply.

That figure was too fast!

In the instant the Immortal Trapping Array was in chaos, East Prince Gong was injured, and the surrounding immortals and generals had not yet reacted.

He had already scooped up the weak and powerless Chang Xi with one arm, and with the other, grabbed Xi He's wrist.

"Let's go!"

Di Jun's steady voice sounded in the two women's ears.

The next moment.

The phantom image of the River Diagram and Luo Book flashed around the three of them and disappeared.

Space rippled like water.

The figures of the three, along with the mysterious guest who had saved them by sacrificing an arm, vanished into thin air from the Lunar Star.

Only the furiously raging East Prince Gong remained, along with the extremely chaotic scene.

"Who is it?! Who exactly?!"

East Prince Gong's roar echoed across the Lunar Star, but no one answered.

He stared intently at the lingering trace of Solar True Fire's aura, almost imperceptible.

East Prince Gong's expression shifted erratically, eventually settling into boundless malice and shock.

"Di Jun... it's you! It must be you!!"

"You've been hiding on the Solar Star this whole time... you actually have such cultivation! Such cunning!"

"Good! Very good! I've noted this debt!"

And at this moment.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Countless light-years away from the Lunar Star.

On the edge of West Kunlun, in a hidden valley.

Space warped slightly.

Di Jun, along with Xi He and Chang Xi, stumbled into existence.

Confirming that East Prince Gong wasn't pursuing them, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, wiping away nonexistent cold sweat.

"Phew... that was close, I almost got killed by East Prince Gong..."

He muttered, only then finding the time to look at the two sisters he had rescued.

Although Xi He's magical power was greatly depleted and her clothes were slightly disheveled, she was largely unharmed.

At this moment, she was looking at him with an extremely complex, disbelieving gaze.

And Chang Xi...

Held half-embrace in his arms, Chang Xi's small face was still pale, with clear bruise marks from finger indents on her neck.

But her beautiful, large eyes were now wide open, staring intently at Di Jun's face.

Chang Xi's lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

In the end, she only managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth.

Her voice carried the weakness of someone who had narrowly escaped death, along with a deep, incomprehensible shock:

"Di... Di Jun?!"

"You're actually a late-stage Quasi-Saint?!"

"You... weren't you just hiding on the Solar Star?!"

Di Jun's body stiffened, and he inwardly cursed his bad luck.

He had used Solar True Fire to rescue them just now.

His disguise was blown!

He coughed dryly, trying hard to maintain the demeanor of an aloof, otherworldly expert.

He then gently put Chang Xi down and released his grip on Xi He's wrist.

Taking two steps back, he adjusted his robes, which weren't actually messy, and spoke in as calm a tone as possible:

"Ahem... Fellow Daoists, the situation was sudden, and I acted rashly in my haste."

"This place is not safe for long. East Prince Gong might pursue us soon. West Kunlun is just ahead, and Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West might be able to shelter you both..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Chang Xi had already staggered to her feet.

Her small face was filled with suspicion, shock, and a touch of daze.

Chang Xi took two steps forward, almost reaching Di Jun's face, staring intently into his eyes:

"Don't change the subject! Di Jun!"

"Speak! You hid so deeply, what exactly were you trying to do?!"

"Don't tell me..." A dangerous glint flashed in Chang Xi's eyes, and she lowered her voice, "you're also a Transmigrator?!"

Di Jun: Σ(ﾟДﾟ|||)

A cold sweat broke out on his back.

How could this girl be so perceptive?!

Wait! How does she know the word "Transmigrator"?!

Could it be...

Di Jun suddenly looked at Chang Xi, his own eyes becoming uncertain and surprised.

Their eyes met.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat strange.

Xi He looked at Di Jun, then at her own sister, a deep confusion appearing in her cool eyes.

She couldn't understand.

What had her sister said to Di Jun to shock him so much?

Silence fell over the valley for a time.

Only a little immortal mist drifted slowly from the distant West Kunlun.

After a long pause.

Di Jun took a deep breath and removed his disguise.

A handsome face, tinged with a bit of lazy helplessness, appeared before Xi He and Chang Xi.

Di Jun rubbed his brow and sighed.

"This matter... it's a long story."

"However, fellow Daoist Chang Xi, before we discuss this issue..."

He pointed to the bruise on Chang Xi's neck that hadn't faded yet.

Then he looked at Xi He's somewhat disheveled clothes.

Afterward, he revealed the most amicable smile he could manage.

"Shouldn't we find a safe place and then make long-term plans?"

"After all..."

He looked up, gazing in the direction of the Lunar Star.

There, the chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations and the furious aura of East Prince Gong could still be vaguely sensed.

"That old rascal East Prince Gong is probably about to go crazy with anger."

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
