Li Niansheng Has Gone Missing, Fleeing Ten Thousand Li

"Smack!"

Chen Changsheng collapsed weakly to the ground. Beside him lay Yixiu, his face as white as a corpse's.

After hearing of Master Yuhua's formidable strength, Yixiu had used a Secret Technique six times in succession, successfully shifting them six thousand li away.

Even an uninjured Yixiu could not use such a Secret Technique, which consumed Essence Blood and Lifespan, more than a few times.

Now, grievously wounded as he was, Yixiu had used it six times in a row. The only difference between him and a dead man was one last breath.

Yet even after fleeing six thousand li, Chen Changsheng still did not feel safe.

So he took the dying Yixiu and began using the Blood Escape Technique.

Twelve Blood Escape Techniques—this was Chen Changsheng's current limit. One more, and he would die on the spot.

He casually flung out several Array Flags, then struggled to stuff a handful of pills into Yixiu's mouth.

Having exhausted the last shred of his strength to finish the aftermath, Chen Changsheng's vision went dark, and he fainted.

Before losing consciousness, this was what Chen Changsheng thought.

"If he can catch up, then let him kill us. If I keep running, I'll be dead before he even has to lift a hand."

Outside the Imperial Capital of the Night Moon Kingdom.

"Whoosh!"

Master Yuhua appeared where Chen Changsheng had first stopped.

His immense Divine Sense Realm instantly blanketed an area of a thousand li.

Yet after searching for a while, Master Yuhua's mouth twitched.

Because he discovered that his Disciple's Disciple was truly far too good at running.

Though this body of his was merely an avatar, its strength was absolutely no weaker than that of an ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivator.

Master Yuhua was intimately familiar with Yixiu and Chen Changsheng's auras.

As long as the two had not escaped beyond five thousand li, he was absolutely confident he could catch them. Even if they had fled beyond five thousand li—

As long as they remained within ten thousand li, he still had ways to sense them.

But now, even after using every method at his disposal, he still could not sense Chen Changsheng's aura.

This meant that in the short span of two hours, Chen Changsheng had already gone beyond ten thousand li.

At that thought, Master Yuhua sneered. "My dear Disciple's Disciple, you'd better hide well."

"If your Martial Ancestor finds you, I'm afraid your little life will be forfeit."

With that, Master Yuhua immediately turned and flew back to the Night Moon Kingdom.

There was trouble with his true body, so this avatar of his could not delay for too long.

"Chang Sheng, can we stop running now?"

Yixiu lay weakly on the Flying Sword. Chen Changsheng, who had only just recovered a little Spiritual Power, had already begun fleeing again with Yixiu in tow.

Faced with Chen Changsheng's relentless insistence, Yixiu was left speechless.

"Master Yuhua is only at Spirit Transformation Completion, not beyond Spirit Transformation. We've already escaped more than ten thousand li away. He can't catch us."

Upon hearing this, not only did Chen Changsheng not stop, he even increased his flying speed by several degrees.

"A cautious sailor sails a ship for ten thousand years. Who knows whether one of my Martial Ancestors has some Secret Technique that can find us?"

"To be safe, let's run another twenty thousand li first."

"Stop talking and focus on healing. Once your injuries are better, you can take us and run."

At those words, Yixiu rolled his eyes hard, then closed them and began healing his wounds.

A hundred years had passed without seeing one another, yet this old acquaintance's personality was still as cautious as ever.

Now that they had met again, Yixiu had many questions he wanted to ask Chen Changsheng.

For instance, why had Chen Changsheng left without saying goodbye back then? Why did Martial Uncle Changsheng know Chen Changsheng?

And why had Chen Changsheng, who originally possessed no talent for cultivation, reached the Golden Core realm and even gained rather good cultivation talent?

All sorts of questions plagued Yixiu's heart, but they would have to wait until everyone was safe before he could ask them slowly.

Time flowed on. A month quickly passed, and just as Chen Changsheng had said a month ago, he fled a full twenty thousand li.

"We don't need to run anymore now, right?"

"We're already a full thirty thousand li away from the Night Moon Kingdom. Even if Master Yuhua were a god, he might not be able to find us."

As he spoke, Yixiu and Chen Changsheng slowly descended onto a Mountain Peak.

Looking over the surroundings, Chen Changsheng nodded. "That should be about enough. There's now an entire imperial dynasty between us and the Night Moon Kingdom."

"Even if Master Yuhua wants to come catch us, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

"Since you say there's no problem, then there's probably no problem."

"Right, back then you..."

"Where's Nian Sheng?"

Before Yixiu could finish, Chen Changsheng interrupted him.

Faced with this question, Yixiu's gaze flickered. Clearly, he did not know how to face Chen Changsheng.

"Uh... Martial Uncle, she... she's gone missing."

"Gone missing?"

"What do you mean by that? Even if you told me now that Nian Sheng had met a tragic end, I could barely understand it."

"But what do you mean by 'gone missing'? She entered the Forbidden Ground of the Night Moon Kingdom with you."

"How could a perfectly fine living person simply go missing?"

Listening to Chen Changsheng, Yixiu said with difficulty, "After the sect learned that Master Yuhua had betrayed the kingdom..."

"They sent Martial Uncle and me to investigate the secrets of the Forbidden Ground, hoping to change the course of the war."

"After arriving at the Forbidden Ground, we followed the clues provided by the Supreme Clarity Temple and smoothly discovered the Night Moon Kingdom's secret."

"But while sealing that Calamity power, we were discovered."

"Wanyan Aguduo summoned two Spirit Transformation ancestors to encircle us. At that time, the ancestors of the Heavenly Buddha Temple and the Linglong Sect both came to rescue us."

"But we still could not break out. In the end, the two ancestors sacrificed themselves to forcibly seal most of that power."

Chen Changsheng's brows furrowed tightly at Yixiu's explanation.

"I didn't ask about the situation in the Forbidden Ground of the Night Moon Kingdom. I want to know whether Li Niansheng is dead or alive."

"After the ancestors sacrificed themselves, the two of us naturally could not escape either."

"We thought our lives were about to end, but who would have expected Martial Uncle to find a damaged Ancient Teleportation Array inside the Bronze Ancient Hall?"

"Though the array was damaged, it could still be used after some barely adequate repairs."

"And then?"

"Don't tell me you stayed behind alone to hold them off and let Nian Sheng go first."

"Of course not. Who wants to die when they can live?"

"But I told you, the Teleportation Array was damaged. I fell out during the transmission."

"Later, with no other choice, I could only hide inside a crack in the seal. Whenever they tried to kill me, I would assume a posture of Mutual Destruction."

"If not for that, I probably wouldn't have lived until now."

"Where did the Teleportation Array in the Bronze Ancient Hall lead?"

"I don't know. Ancient Teleportation Arrays are incredibly powerful—I couldn't understand it."

"But the transmission distance should have been over a hundred thousand li."
