"Swoosh!"
Ji Tianxing streaked across the sky as fast as lightning, flying towards the east.
His flying speed was still the same as before. It did not decrease, but it did not increase either.
However, the Second Palace Master, who was chasing after him, had an obvious change.
The Second Palace Master was seriously injured. His body was covered in blood and he looked very miserable. His aura was also very weak.
His flying speed was obviously slower than before, and his strength was also much weaker.
Logically speaking, he should have stopped to heal his wounds and suppress the injuries of his divine body as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if his injuries continued to worsen, it would seriously damage his divine body and cause irreversible injuries, which would affect his future cultivation.
Of course, the Second Palace Master understood this. However, Ji Tianxing was too important to the Kongming Temple.
He had to endure his injuries and continue to chase after Ji Tianxing.
Even if he could not catch up with Ji Tianxing and capture Ji Tianxing, he had to follow Ji Tianxing. He could not lose track of Ji Tianxing.
While chasing after Ji Tianxing, he did not forget to urge the other three Palace Masters to come as soon as possible.
When the three Palace Masters arrived, they would intercept, kill, and besiege Ji Tianxing.
By then, the Second Palace Master would be able to put down his heavy burden and mission and heal his wounds in peace.
However, the Second Palace Master still neglected a problem.
He was seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced. Not only was the number of times he could teleport reduced by more than half, but he could not use it frequently.
Even the distance he could teleport across was reduced by half. He was not far from Ji Tianxing.
The two of them were originally 100,000 miles apart. That was because Ji Tianxing had used the So Close, Yet Worlds Apart skill to instantly widen the distance.
No matter how hard the Second Palace Master tried, he could not catch up with Ji Tianxing in a short period of time.
Moreover, after Ji Tianxing escaped more than one million miles away, he accumulated divine power and used the So Close, Yet Worlds Apart skill again.
As a result, the distance between him and the Second Palace Master was further widened to two hundred thousand miles.
The Second Palace Master became anxious at that time. He did not care about the worsening of his injuries. He sped up and chased after Ji Tianxing with all his might so that he would not be shaken off.
However, the distance between him and Ji Tianxing was indeed closing little by little.
However, his injuries were quickly worsening. He had used up too much of his divine power. His complexion became paler and paler, and his aura became weaker and weaker.
In the first fifteen minutes, he was still able to close the distance between him and Ji Tianxing.
However, after an hour, his injuries had worsened to a certain extent. After his strength had decreased further, his speed became even slower.
On top of that, Ji Tianxing had used the So Close, Yet Worlds Apart twice. Each time, he could instantly open up a distance of over a hundred thousand miles.
Finally, the distance between the second palace master and Ji Tianxing had increased to three hundred and eighty thousand miles, leaving the range of the second palace master's divine sense.
In other words, Ji Tianxing had finally gotten rid of the Second Palace Master.
Even though Ji Tianxing had changed the direction of his escape and did not leave behind any traces or clues, the Second Palace Master was still unable to find him. He could only continue his pursuit.
Another hour passed. The Second Palace Master could not find any traces or aura of Ji Tianxing. He could only give up the pursuit in helplessness and anger.
Due to the severe worsening of his injuries and the great depletion of his divine power, he returned dejectedly.
During this period of time, a few Palace Masters, including the Grand Palace Master, sent him messages, asking about his location and the battle situation.
The Second Palace Master was filled with anger and embarrassment. He did not know how to answer them, so he ignored them for the time being.
Four hours later, the Second Palace Master encountered many Desolate race Godly Kings.
The Desolate race Godly Kings who had followed him to pursue Ji Tianxing had already stretched out their teams and were scattered.
In the desolate and dangerous area, they were attacked by many beasts, resulting in a large number of casualties.
When the Second Palace Master met them, a group of Desolate race Godly Kings were being besieged by a beast horde. They were still fighting a bloody battle, trying their best to break out of the encirclement.
The Second Palace Master was severely injured, so it was inconvenient for him to help in the battle. He released the aura of a God Emperor and used the Heavenly Dao to suppress the ferocious beasts.
After a great deal of effort, the Second Palace Master finally managed to scare the ferocious beasts away, helping the Desolate race Godly Kings out of their predicament.
Many of the Desolate race Godly Kings who had yet to recover from their shock were severely injured. They were in a sorry state.
They could not be bothered to treat their injuries. They hurriedly gathered around the Second Palace Master and asked him about the outcome of the battle.
The Second Palace Master had chased Ji Tianxing for such a long distance and was severely injured. He must have fought with Ji Tianxing to the death.
For Ji Tianxing to be able to injure the Second Palace Master, it showed how powerful he was.
But the final outcome was definitely the Second Palace Master's victory. He had successfully captured Ji Tianxing!
Faced with the Desolate race Godly Kings' expectant expressions and gazes, the Second Palace Master's expression turned bitter. He remained silent.
The Godly Kings caused a ruckus for a while before they gradually realized that something was amiss.
Some of them observed the Second Palace Master's expression and gradually guessed the outcome. They were extremely surprised and found it unbelievable.
"Could it be that the Second Palace Master failed to capture the young God Emperor and allowed him to escape?"
"From the Second Palace Master's reaction, it can't be that he failed to defeat the young God Emperor and was even defeated by him, right?"
"How can this be? How is this possible? "
Many of the Desolate race Godly Kings could not accept this outcome.
The Second Palace Master did not wish to speak further. He waved his hand, indicating for everyone to treat their injuries. They quickly reorganized their teams and followed him back.
When everyone saw his reaction, they were even more certain of their guesses. With complicated thoughts, they began to treat their injuries.
Not long after, everyone finished treating their injuries. They reorganized their teams and rushed back with the Second Palace Master.
Not long after the group left, they encountered a group of Desolate race Godly Kings.
This group of Desolate race Godly Kings were also covered in injuries. Many of them were in a wretched state. Clearly, they had gone through a fierce battle.
When they suddenly saw the Second Palace Master and company flying towards them, this group of Desolate race Godly Kings were overjoyed. They revealed expressions of relief.
There were even a number of Desolate race Godly Kings who could not help but exclaim.
Previously, they had been attacked by fierce beasts several times and had sacrificed many people. They had paid a heavy price to escape the encirclement.
Now that they finally saw the Second Palace Master and their companions, they felt that they were safe. Naturally, they were overjoyed.
On the other hand, the Second Palace Master had been pursuing Ji Tianxing. No one could catch up to him.
Although some people had suspected that the Second Palace Master was acting, his injuries were real. This proved that the Second Palace Master was indeed trying to capture someone.
Since the Second Palace Master had returned, he must have caught his target and was returning in triumph.
As such, everyone did not need to rush back, nor did they need to risk their lives. How could they not be happy?
However, after both parties met up, the Desolate race Godly Kings realized that the Second Palace Master was not in high spirits. He was heavily injured and his expression was gloomy.
The Desolate race Godly Monarchs that followed behind him also looked lifeless and listless.
Needless to say, everyone was suspicious. They guessed that the mission had failed.
