Jianchen was carried away by the great elders of the Changyang Prefecture. They flew off into the distance as quickly as they could. They had all become Holy Emperor for many years, so their grasp over space was far greater than Jianchen's. They moved even faster than Jianchen when he used the Illusory Flash.
At this moment, the great elders of the Changyang Prefecture were all stern. They only cared about flying towards the stable space in the distance. They all knew that they would basically become the public enemy of all the human experts if they took Jianchen away like this. Although they were great elders of protector clans and possessed great statuses, no one would fear their status before the Saints' Fruit that could allow people to become Emperors.
The temptation of becoming a Holy Emperor was something that every single Holy Emperor could not resist. As long as they could become Emperors, they would not even need to fear the protector clans, so there was obviously no need to worry about offending them.
Behind them, a large group of human experts pursued them. In particular, the eyes of those who knew about the wondrous effects of the Saints' Fruit had even turned red. A portion of them had already used secret techniques to catch up, rapidly closing the distance between them and Jianchen's group.
Honglian, Ruijin, and Black Fish each kept a Holy Emperor busy, preventing them from interfering with Jianchen. They were unable to pay attention to anything else.
"Borrowing the Force of the World, Stellar Shift!" The great elders of the Changyang Prefecture used a secret technique again, crossing over a hundred kilometers in a single moment. They then continued to flee into the distance with Jianchen.
Using a secret technique like this consumed a lot of energy, not to mention that they were carrying another person. As a result, they were unable to use it continuously even with their strength. They needed a buffer time every time they used it.
As the two parties fled, they crossed over a thousand kilometers before finally arriving in a relatively stable space. Changyang Qing Yun immediately began to construct a Space Gate.
At the same time, over a dozen tremendous strands of energy and sword Qi shot behind them with lightning-like speed. Every single attack possessed devastating power. These were attacks from over a dozen Holy Emperor experts at Great Perfection. They came from protector clans, ancient clans, and a few powerful independent cultivators.
The tremendous attacks shot toward the Space Gate with an unstoppable force. Wherever they passed, the space violently shook, as if it was unable to endure the powerful energy and would shatter. As a result, the Space Gate that Changyang Qing Yun had constructed became rather unstable.
"Let's go!" Changyang Qing Yun called out with a deep voice. He was in a hurry.
The great elders of the Changyang Prefecture all became extremely stern. Without any hesitation, they immediately entered the Space Gate with Jianchen as quickly as they could.
The Space Gate immediately vanished after all of them had left, causing the space there to return to normal. Soon after, the attacks from the Holy Emperor experts at Great Perfection struck the space there as well, causing it to shatter. The space in a radius of several thousand meters violently shook.
"Bastards, those bastards from the Changyang Prefecture. They actually managed to escape …"
"I never thought that the Saints' Fruit would end up in the hands of the Changyang Prefecture …"
"Looks like a new Holy Emperor will appear on the Tian Yuan Continent before long. It's just a pity that he's not a part of our clan. He's from the Changyang Prefecture …"
"Sigh, the Saints' Fruit that only appears once every forty thousand years. It's something that many of our seniors can only come across by luck, yet we've missed it just like that. What a pity, what a pity …"
"It's all the fault of those three stray magical beasts that don't belong to the Beast God Continent. If it weren't for them protecting Jianchen wholeheartedly, how would the Saints' Fruit have ended up in the hands of the Changyang Prefecture? Not only has Changyang Prefecture gained an unprecedented prodigy, but they also have a special relationship with the Winged Tiger. Coupled with the future Holy Emperor, just who on the Tian Yuan Continent can stop them …"
Many of the experts discussed among themselves. Many of them were filled with regret and dejection, while some of the experts from the protector clans became rather worried. The current strength of the Changyang clan had completely exceeded what they had imagined, so they did not wish for any of the protector clans to be the only one standing on top.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a few violent booms, violent ripples of energy shot out in all directions, causing the space around them to violently tremble. The supreme might that belonged to the Holy Emperor filled the surroundings, causing the world to tremble.
Cang Qiong stood proudly in the void. His whole body emitted an unparalleled divine aura as if he was the ruler of the world. He used his absolute strength to break the secret technique used by the five elders of Mercenary City. That unparalleled divine aura that was as vast as the sea directly crushed over, causing Mo Tian Yun's illusory figure to collapse.
The five elders of Mercenary City shuddered violently as they spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time. It turned into a bloody mist that drifted down from the sky. Their faces immediately became extremely pale and dispirited. Following that, the light in the eyes of four of them rapidly faded, becoming hollow. Their bodies fell straight to the ground, motionless. Only one of them could barely remain standing.
The founding member below stared fixedly at Cangqiong who had broken free. He said powerlessly, "It's just a pity that the five of us are already at the end of our rope, or else … or else …" Before he could finish speaking, the light in the eyes of the remaining founding member rapidly faded as well. He left the world with regret and regret.
Tian Jian and the elders of Mercenary City stood in the distance silently as they stared at the cold corpses of the founding members. They were all gloomy and sorrowful.
They did not stop the five founding members because they did not have much time left in the first place. Even if they did not die here today, they would pass away in Mercenary City in the next few days.
"The deaths of the five founding members have protected the Saints' Fruit for the Tian Yuan Continent. Their deaths are more important than a mountain. They died on the battlefield in a grand fashion, not silently passing away in Mercenary City," Tian Jian said with a heavy voice.
The Holy Emperor of the Peng clan, Cangqiong, slowly withdrew his might. He glanced around indifferently and said, "The Saints' Fruit has been taken away and its whereabouts are unknown. It's time for us to return." Cangqiong's voice was calm, but it reverberated through the surroundings, allowing everyone to hear him clearly.
"No, Cangqiong, we must obtain the Saints' Fruit. You're the fastest in the world, so you should be able to catch up to them," Lankyros said reluctantly.
However, before he could finish speaking, Cangqiong had already turned into a faint blur and shot off into the distance. He seemed to have completely fused with the surrounding space, moving through it silently. He moved with unbelievable speed, vanishing in a single instance. As expected, he was headed towards the Beast God Continent.
"Cangqiong!" Lankyros roared at the sky. He was extremely unwilling to accept this. Even Kaiser's face had become extremely sunken.
"Let's go!" Kaiser gave the order to retreat through gritted teeth. He immediately gave up on his opponent and left with Lankyros.
This time, Honglian and Black Fish did not continue to tangle with them. They allowed them to leave before charging in the direction of Ruijin.
The path lord raised an eyebrow and said, "Golden Divine Dragon, our battle ends here. Farewell." With that, he wanted to leave.
"You won't be able to leave that easily!" Ruijin's voice was icy-cold. His killing intent was heavy as the Sacred Dragon's Sword shone brightly, firmly entangling the path lord.
"Blazing Purgatory!" Honglian called out from afar. She had already hurried over. The Scorching Godfire Hairpin spat out a large amount of white flames that filled the sky, forming a huge fireball that surrounded Ruijin and the path lord. The terrifying temperature caused space to violently pulse. Even though the path lord had grasped the mysteries of the world even more profound than the Holy Emperor, he was unable to use any ability related to space to escape from this unstable space.
Soon after, the Scorching Godfire Hairpin flew into the fireball and shot toward the path lord with lightning-like speed.
