Even though Song Zhong had barely made it through the heavenly tribulation this time, the great interference he had received had led to him being heavily injured. It could be said that he was on the verge of death right now. Not to mention cultivators, even a ferocious fish from the sea could eat him alive.
Fortunately, the people from the two great sects had been completely annihilated, and the terrifying aura of the Heavenly Tribulation had caused all the creatures within a radius of 10,000 miles to scurry away, not daring to come close at all. That was why Song Zhong had survived.
Following the disappearance of the heavenly tribulation, Han Bing 'er who had been waiting impatiently also flew over on her Moon Palace. Using her special connection with Song Zhong, she quickly found the charred Song Zhong.
Although Song Zhong's appearance was like a burnt corpse, Han Bing 'er could feel his powerful life force. Seeing that Song Zhong was still alive, Han Bing 'er couldn't help but cry tears of joy. She hurriedly placed him in the Moon Palace before bringing him back to the island where she was staying.
Not long after Han Bing 'er left, two powerful sword lights flew over. Very quickly, two cultivators appeared, one male and one female. From the looks of it, they were both at the FenShen stage. They hovered in the center of the Heavenly Tribulation, frowning as they scanned the surroundings with their divine senses. Soon, they found some fragments of treasures, especially the fragments of the four flying boats, which were the most abundant. In addition, there were some fragments of magical equipment. It seemed that a group of experts had been completely annihilated here!
After seeing those things, both of them were shocked. The man immediately exclaimed, "How is this possible? Four large flying ships, four Void Refinement Stage experts, and a dozen or so Severed Divinity Stage cultivators were all wiped out? Not to mention Song Zhong, the Jin Dan Elixir, even if it is a master of the Fusion stage or even the dacheng stage, I am afraid that they can't do it so cleanly, right? "
"Indeed. There are so many of them, and they have large magical equipment to help them. Even if they can't beat them, they can still escape. No matter what, they shouldn't have been wiped out." The woman frowned and said, "But in reality, even their Primordial Spirits didn't manage to escape. Even their Spiritual Treasures were shattered. I'm afraid only Immortal Artifacts are capable of such a powerful attack! Could it be that this time it was a few masters of the dacheng stage, with immortal tools? "
"Impossible!" The man hurriedly said: "How noble are the masters of the dacheng stage, how can they come here to kill some juniors? Moreover, our two sects are not to be trifled with. Even if they are experts from the Evil Faction, they would not do this for no reason. If they did, it would only lead to a war between the Righteous and the Evil Faction, which would be disadvantageous to both sides! Even the evil sects wouldn't do something like harming others without benefiting themselves! "
"That makes sense!" The woman nodded, then suddenly frowned and said, "By the way, did you notice that all the fragments we found seem to be caused by a powerful explosion? There are no traces of sharp weapons, and the fragments are scattered very far away from each other. No matter how you look at it, it seems that they were destroyed at the same time and in the same way. Isn't this too strange?"
"Indeed, I am also puzzled. However, this time we are just here to explore the road. There is no need to care too much about it. Let's hurry back with these fragments and report back? I don't want to stay in this strange place anymore! "The man said in a panic. Obviously, he was frightened by the strange things that happened here. So many masters died for no reason. It would be strange if he was not afraid!
In fact, he was not the only one who was afraid. The female cultivator next to him was also frightened. She was just too embarrassed to take the initiative to say that they should withdraw. Now that she saw the other party mention it first, she was naturally happy to push the boat with the current.
"Junior Brother, you're right. We don't have to stay in this muddy water. Now that we have so many fragments to report, we'd better hurry back!" After the female cultivator finished speaking, she and the male cultivator turned into two streaks of sword light and disappeared in a flash.
A few days later, Song Zhong woke up. The injuries on his body had miraculously healed. The charred skin had all fallen off, revealing the bronze skin underneath.
Song Zhong slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Han Bing 'er's blood-red eyes and haggard face. Song Zhong's heart suddenly warmed, but then he couldn't help but feel a sense of pity. While holding her hand, he said with a slight reproach, "Look at you, what have you become? Why don't you rest properly? "
Seeing that the first thing Song Zhong did when he woke up was to show concern for her, Han Bing 'er opened her mouth but didn't say anything. However, crystal clear tears began to flow down her cheeks.
The moment Song Zhong saw Han Bing 'er's tears, he panicked and hurriedly said, "What are you doing? Aren't I fine? Why are you crying? "
"Nothing. I was just agitated for a moment! "Han Bing 'er wiped away her tears and said," Are you fully recovered now? "
"Yes, there's no problem at all!" As Song Zhong said that, he sat up. Then, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Right, are we still at the same place?"
"Yes? If we're not here, where else can we go? "Han Bing 'er asked in confusion.
As Song Zhong heard that, his face changed and hurriedly said, "This place has already been exposed. We can't stay here any longer. It's better to leave quickly!"
As he said that, Song Zhong hurriedly started to pack up his things. Although Han Bing 'er had her doubts, she knew that Song Zhong wouldn't act recklessly. Since he said that, he must have discovered something. Thus, she hurriedly packed up along with Song Zhong and asked, "How do you know that we've been exposed?"
"Haiz, when I was undergoing my Heavenly Tribulation, the two great sects came looking for me!" Song Zhong said helplessly with a bitter smile. Following which, he explained the situation to Han Bing 'er.
Because Han Bing 'er was tens of thousands of miles away from where Song Zhong was undergoing his Heavenly Tribulation, she didn't know what happened on that day. Now that she heard what Song Zhong said, she came to a realization and exclaimed, "Aiya, this is bad. After those fellows died, the two great sects will definitely suspect that we're here. We've wasted too much time!"
Han Bing 'er couldn't help but blame herself, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have wasted so much time!"
As Song Zhong heard that, he hurriedly consoled her, "Bing 'er, you don't have to be like that. After all, you don't know what happened. Besides, we don't have to worry for the time being. The two sects have suddenly lost such a powerful force, so they will definitely be suspicious of this area. They probably won't act recklessly. No matter what, they will have to investigate thoroughly before taking any action. This little bit of time is just enough for us to slip away! "
"But, what if their reaction is fast enough?" Han Bing 'er asked worriedly.
"Haha, we are tens of thousands of miles away from that place. Even if their reaction is fast enough, they will still need a certain amount of time to search for us!" Song Zhong consoled her.
"En, let's hope that's the case!" Only then did Han Bing 'er's expression soften.
As they spoke, the two of them finished packing up their things. Actually, there wasn't much for them to pack up. It was just a bunch of random things which they could casually throw into their spatial rings.
Following which, the two of them began to disguise each other. In the process of escaping, they didn't dare to show their real faces. This was because their images had already been spread all over the place by the two great sects. Almost everyone in the cultivation world had seen them before.
Thus, in order to make it easier for them to escape, the first thing that Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er did after escaping was to purchase a cultivation technique that could change their appearance as well as some supplementary medicine.
After all these years of cultivation, they were already familiar with such a simple cultivation technique that could change the shape of their bones and muscles. As they revolved their cultivation technique, their appearances quickly underwent a huge change.
Song Zhong's huge body shrunk in a straight line, turning into a six foot tall skinny man. Although he was also a cultivator, his face didn't stand out at all. It was just like a country bumpkin. It could be said that if you threw him into a crowd, you wouldn't be able to find him!
As for Han Bing 'er, she was the exact opposite. Her originally slim figure became voluptuous after she revolved her cultivation technique. Her face was also painted with a resolute look, causing her temperament to change greatly. From a pure ice beauty, she became a woman with a masculine temperament.
Han Bing 'er's cultivation technique was of the ice attribute and this was something that she couldn't change. However, she could change her identity from a sword cultivator to a tool cultivator. Since Song Zhong had many magical artifacts, Han Bing 'er chose a few ice attribute magical artifacts to refine as a means to deceive others.
As for Song Zhong, he was much more powerful than Han Bing 'er. His Primal Chaos Formula could be said to have all five elements. Thus, he could disguise himself as a cultivator of any element. After pondering for a while, Song Zhong finally chose to become a water attribute cultivator.
There were two main reasons why he chose to become a water attribute cultivator. Firstly, Song Zhong had the bloodline of the Black Tortoise. Thus, when he executed water attribute techniques, there would be an additional boost. Secondly, it was because Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er were going to pretend to be dual cultivation partners. As for Han Bing 'er's ice attribute, it was actually a variant of the water attribute. If she were to cultivate both ice and water attributes, it would allow them to complement each other and increase her strength very quickly. In the eyes of others, it would also be reasonable.
If Song Zhong were to choose a fire attribute cultivator to be Han Bing 'er's dao companion, anyone who heard of it would probably suspect that they were a fake. Because water and fire were incompatible, unless their dual cultivation technique was special, there would be almost no effect if they were to cultivate together. Furthermore, their future generations would also have a high chance of becoming trash, just like Song Zhong. Thus, after considering for a while, Song Zhong decided to disguise himself as a water attribute cultivator.
These were all the escape routes that Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er had already discussed when they were free. Thus, they were extremely quick in putting on their disguises. Not only were their facial features done, even their treasures and clothes were prepared properly. The excess items were all sent into Song Zhong's Natal Artifact.
After everything was prepared, Song Zhong brought Han Bing 'er and flew towards the Central Separation Island. The Central Separation Island was the biggest island in this world. On it, there were teleportation formations to other worlds. If Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er wanted to leave this place, this was the only way!
Because they had to conceal their identities, Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er did not dare to use flying swords that were too good. They were using Grade 5 flying swords. Their speed was only around 4000, so their speed was not fast. To reach the Central Separation Island, they would need at least a few days.
The first two days were very peaceful. But on the third day, the atmosphere started to become tense. The number of cultivators coming and going increased. Furthermore, they were all experts and their speed was extremely fast. On this day, Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er were stopped for the first time.
The ones who stopped Song Zhong were four YuanYing cultivators, two males and two females. The two males carried treasured swords on their backs and had arrogant looks on their faces. From the insignia on their clothes, they were obviously from the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect.
As for the other two female cultivators, they had a cold expression on their faces, as though everyone owed them something. In truth, they were not always like this. It was just that they were not in a good mood this time, which was why they had such an ugly expression.
As YuanYing cultivators, they had always been high and mighty existences. Wherever they went, they would be surrounded by people. But this time, they were actually sent to be patrolling soldiers, in charge of interrogating the cultivators that passed by!
Although they knew that the mission this time was no small matter, but as YuanYing cultivators, they were still extremely dissatisfied that they had to be patrolling soldiers. And this dissatisfaction could not be vented to their superiors. As such, they could only vent their anger on the cultivators that passed by!
After the four of them stopped Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er, one of the female cultivators said coldly, "Fellow daoists, these two are from the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect. As for us, we are from the Jade Pearl Sect. Today, our two sects are here for some important matters. We have some questions that we would like to ask the two of you. Please forgive us!"
Although she said it politely, but no matter how one listened to it, there was a hint of a strong threat, fully displaying the domineering nature of a large sect.
Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er did not care about these four fellows. Even Han Bing' er had the confidence to kill one of them in a one on one battle, not to mention Song Zhong. But the current situation was not suitable for them to fight head on. Killing them was easy, but blocking the fellows behind them was difficult.
As such, Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er did not flare up. Song Zhong acted like a yes-man, while Han Bing 'er acted as though she was angry. But even though she was angry, she did not dare to say anything.
"Greetings, fellow daoists!" SongZhong bowed respectfully and said, "But I don't know what all of you want to ask. I promise that I will tell you everything I know!"
Actually, the reason why Song Zhong acted like a coward was not just to deal with them, but to match his identity as a water element cultivator. Water element cultivators, because of their attributes, were more gentle. Fire element cultivators were more explosive, while ice element cultivators were more domineering. As such, Song Zhong had to act like a coward, only then would it match his identity. As for Han Bing 'er, she had to be more domineering, but not too overboard.
As the two of them had already practiced quite a bit while they were escaping, their performance was extremely realistic, to the point that they managed to deceive the four old fellows who had lived for hundreds of years!
Seeing how weak Song Zhong was, the four of them could not help but feel disdain in their hearts. Following which, they became even more unbridled. A male cultivator next to her didn't even bother to address her politely. He asked arrogantly, "First, we need to know your identity. What's your name? What's your surname? What kind of cultivator are you? Tell me everything!"
Looking at him, how did he look like he was asking questions? It was more like he was interrogating a criminal.
However, the more unreasonable they were, the happier Song Zhong was. Because this meant that his disguise was effective, and he had already deceived their eyes.
As such, Song Zhong was not angry at all, and hurriedly told them the fake identity that he and Han Bing 'er had prepared.
"Reporting to fellow cultivators, my name is Shui, and I am a Water element cultivator. This is my wife, surnamed Bing, and her name is Ling. She is an Ice element equipment cultivator! "Song Zhong said respectfully.
A female cultivator by the side suddenly shouted, "Your surname is Shui? Tong? Doesn't that make you 'Water Bucket'? "
"Water Bucket? Hahaha! "As the rest heard that, they all burst out into laughter.
Actually, Song Zhong had purposely come up with such a funny name, with the goal of confusing them. Seeing that they had indeed fallen for his trick, he hurriedly explained with a red face, "It's not 'Water Bucket', it's' Shui Tong '!"
"Hahaha, it's all the same. I think it's just 'Water Bucket'!" Another male cultivator laughed.
The other three laughed even harder. As for Song Zhong, he appeared to be extremely cowardly, and his face was red from embarrassment, but he did not dare to do anything. As for Han Bing 'er, she appeared to be extremely angry, and even wanted to argue with them. However, she was held back by Song Zhong!
"Everyone, if there's nothing else, please forgive me for taking my leave!" Song Zhong pretended to be extremely angry, and pulled Han Bing 'er away from them as he continued to fly.
As a male cultivator saw that, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't go, we still have a lot of questions to ask!"
However, another female cultivator waved her hands and said, "Forget it, what can we get out of such trash? Let's just ask him to scram, in case he wastes our time! "
"That's right, that's right. But SongZhong is far from it. There's just something wrong with him. Let's go somewhere else to take a look!" Another male cultivator said.
"Alright!" The few of them nodded their heads, and let go of Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er, and continued to patrol elsewhere.
After Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er successfully escaped, they could not help but wipe off their cold sweat. They thought to themselves, Luckily I made sufficient preparations, and even came up with such a funny name. If not, if they were to ask me all sorts of questions, I might really give myself away! Thinking about this, they were even more determined to continue with their disguise.
As they got closer to the Central Separation Island, the number of cultivators that Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er saw increased. Obviously, the two sects had estimated that Song Zhong had not left this world. Thus, at the only exit of the Central Separation Island, they had set up a large number of guards. The closer they got, the more people they saw, and the stronger they were.
On the way to the Central Separation Island, Song Zhong and Han Bing 'er were interrogated a few more times, but they were able to get away with it. However, when they reached the Central Separation Island, they realized that it was still an extremely troublesome matter to leave this place. This was because in order to capture Song Zhong, the two sects had actually risked universal condemnation, and sealed off the only teleportation formation that led to the outside world!
