Fleeing the Scene

"Chen Tong!!"

From a distance, her eyes never leaving the scene, Bing Lin saw Chen Tong get blasted away by the shockwave of an attack. Her face instantly turned ashen, and without a second thought, she flew towards him.

"Sister!"

Seeing this, Bing Xue also wanted to chase after him, but the Death Underworld Dragon immediately stopped her!

"She's a Golden Immortal cultivator. You, a mere Heavenly Immortal, are best off staying put. Otherwise, even a sliver of that explosive shockwave could turn you to dust."

"But… but Sister!" Bing Xue stomped her feet anxiously.

"There's no 'but'! They won't die." The Death Underworld Dragon's voice remained cold.

"Chen Tong, are you alright?" Bing Lin quickly reached his side. Seeing his torn clothes, messy hair, and numerous injuries, her heart ached.

"I'm fine! This damn shockwave… I miscalculated." Chen Tong's face was covered in dust, and he spat blood. He tried to struggle to his feet.

"Don't move yet, let me heal you first."

"No!" Chen Tong immediately stopped her. "This place isn't safe anymore. Help me up and let's go."

"But your injuries!"

"These injuries won't kill me! But such a huge commotion will definitely alert some big shots. If we don't leave now, I might really be done for."

Bing Lin no longer insisted. She took out an elixir and fed it to him, then helped him up, and the two quickly departed.

Soon, they returned to the Death Underworld Dragon's side. Bing Xue rushed over and gasped, covering her mouth when she saw Chen Tong's miserable state. A strange ache welled up in her heart.

"You! Does it hurt?"

"Isn't that a stupid question!" Chen Tong shot her a look, then turned to the Death Underworld Dragon. "Stupid dragon, hurry up and take us away from here."

"Heh heh… Don't worry, leave it to me."

The three then rode the Death Underworld Dragon and flew into the distance. Chen Tong glanced back at West Phoenix Mountain one last time, seeing the smoke and dust still billowing skyward. A cold sneer formed on his lips. This is the consequence of crossing me.

"Kid, how does it feel to destroy the world?"

Seeing Chen Tong's disheveled appearance, the Death Underworld Dragon asked with a wicked grin.

"What do you think!"

"Heh! If it were me, I'd gather all the energy, blow up the entire world, and let everything live in darkness forever. Now that would be awesome."

Chen Tong's face twitched uncontrollably! This guy's heart was too dark.

"Uncle Evil Dragon is so mean!" Bing Xue couldn't help but retort upon hearing its words.

"Brat, what kind of address is that! Call me Evil Dragon, why add 'Uncle'! Who's your uncle? Don't just claim kinship!"

"Tch! I call you Uncle out of respect. If I didn't respect you, I wouldn't bother talking to you."

"Then shut up!"

"You…!" Bing Xue was instantly speechless, her face filled with grievance. "Hmph!"

Bing Lin's beautiful eyes opened slightly, a killing intent locking onto the Death Underworld Dragon's head. The Death Underworld Dragon sensed it and said coldly, "Another girl, do you also want to taste my wrath?"

Seeing she didn't speak, the Death Underworld Dragon laughed in amusement. "Heh! Don't talk about you being a Golden Immortal now, even if you reached the Great Luo, if I wanted to eat you, there's nothing I couldn't finish in one bite."

"How dare you!" Bing Xue said angrily.

"Heh!" The Death Underworld Dragon laughed. "There's nothing in this world I don't dare to do! Little girl, want to come play in my mouth!"

"You! You! You!" Bing Xue was so angry she turned her rosy face away.

"Oh! The little girl is angry. Come, come, Uncle Evil Dragon will coax you, okay!"

Chen Tong, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his anger erupting. He roared, "Shut up, you stupid dragon! Chirping and chirping nonstop the whole way. You might not be tired of talking, but I'm sick of listening."

White clouds drifted in the sky, and the world fell silent for three seconds, only the sound of the wind whistling past could be heard.

Bing Lin and Bing Xue stared at Chen Tong blankly, and the Death Underworld Dragon was also stunned! After an unknown amount of time, Bing Xue weakly asked Bing Lin, "Sister, he's quite handsome when he's angry too!"

Bing Lin shot her a look, but she secretly glanced at Chen Tong. Not to mention, it was true! Her icy face flushed slightly, and she immediately averted her gaze.

"Don't talk, be quiet."

Soon, the group disappeared into a deep mountain, far from West Phoenix Mountain, and even further from the west.

"Bang!!"

Whether intentionally or not, the Death Underworld Dragon smashed hard onto the ground, sending the three on its back flying out with a jolt, landing in the dense forest in various postures.

"Ouch! Sister, are you okay? How are you?" Bing Xue's voice rang out. She was now helping Bing Lin up.

"I'm fine!" Bing Lin waved her hand. She hadn't fallen to the ground, only half-crouched.

"This Evil Dragon is too detestable! It, it, it did it on purpose, right?" Bing Xue said with indignation.

Bing Lin shook her head helplessly and looked around, but couldn't find Chen Tong. Just as she was about to call out anxiously, a faint voice sounded from above her head: "Stop shouting, I'm in the tree."

It turned out Chen Tong was currently hanging from a tree branch.

"Chen Tong, are you alright?" Bing Lin asked.

"N…!" Just as he was about to say he was fine, he suddenly heard a creak and felt a sense of foreboding. The next second, the branch snapped, and he plummeted down!

"Bang!!"

"Why didn't either of you catch me?" Chen Tong asked dejectedly. He had naively thought one of them would catch him, but the reality was he'd been overthinking.

At this moment, the two women were also dumbfounded. From the moment Chen Tong fell to when he made a sound, neither of them understood what had happened.

"Sigh!" Chen Tong patted his hands helplessly. Although a fall from this height was nothing to a Grand Unity Divine Immortal, it was still embarrassing to have fallen.

"How are you?" Bing Lin asked indifferently, as if concerned.

"I'm fine!" Chen Tong shook his head.

"Brother Chen Tong, that dragon of yours definitely did it on purpose! I'm going to settle the score with it," Bing Xue said angrily, stomping out.

"Heh heh!" Chen Tong gave an awkward laugh. "That dragon's temper is just like that. I apologize for the embarrassment."

"It's fine!" Bing Lin turned sideways, looking indifferently at the mountains and land outside. "Where are you going next? Or do you have anything you need to do?"

"Fire Cloud Cave." Chen Tong's voice was filled with a deep solemnity at this moment.

Bing Lin's eyes sank slightly. She glanced at Chen Tong and said indifferently, "Whatever you're going to do, I'll follow you."

"No!" Chen Tong immediately refused. "This situation is extremely serious, and I don't want to implicate you! Besides, facing him, I can't even guarantee my own safety."

Bing Lin looked deeply at Chen Tong. "If that's the case, then I must go even more."
