Who was on their side and who wasn't? This ruthless kick had completely proven it.
Then, the old man leapt up in a panic, his face filled with grief as he casually pulled out a meteor hammer. Boom! The top of his head collapsed from the impact.
As he chased after Miao Yi and the others, he swung the meteor hammer and smashed the ceiling above him, causing dust to fly everywhere behind him.
The shields sealing off the tunnel were already covered in a thick layer of frost. Gu Sanzheng and Tan Lao had experienced the might of the Mystic Yin Mirror for themselves. Even though they hid behind the shields, they were still shivering from the cold.
When they heard the sound of the tunnel collapsing, the two of them realized that something was wrong. They carefully put away a piece of the shield and made sure that no one was hiding behind it before putting away the rest. The tunnel before them was like a world of ice and snow, covered in a layer of frost.
Tan Lao picked up the black fox on the ground. It had been hit by the Mystic Yin Mirror and was already frozen stiff. He was caught off guard earlier and almost couldn't protect his own people in time. How could he possibly take care of the black fox leading the way?
Gu Sanzheng was so embarrassed that he flew into a rage. Even if he didn't have the black fox to lead the way, it wouldn't have mattered. The collapsed tunnel served as a beacon for him. With a flash, Gu Sanzheng arrived at the bend and the Thunderclap Flying Swords flew in like a whirlwind, stirring up another cloud of dust.
The tunnel that had just collapsed was easy to dig through. Moreover, the white-haired old man was in a hurry to escape and didn't pay attention to his task. Many parts of the tunnel had only collapsed halfway, so it wasn't too difficult for the two of them to dig their way through.
Miao Yi and the others quickly made their way back to Pi Junzi's cave. The white-haired old man with the meteor hammer followed behind them.
Miao Yi turned around and was immediately surprised. "I told you to cover our retreat. How did you run so fast? Are you sure you destroyed the path we came from? "
'Would we still be alive if we didn't run faster? ' The white-haired old man nodded repeatedly. "I destroyed it all."
Miao Yi had no way of verifying it. When he heard the faint rumbling approaching, his expression changed. He realized that Gu Sanzheng and the others were truly perverted. They wouldn't let them go even after such a long time.
There was no other way. They had to continue running. Once again, they entered Pi Junzi's cave and entered the secret room. Pi Junzi broke a corner of the wall, revealing another secret tunnel. They jumped in one after another and sprinted through the tunnel.
A moment later. The end of the slanted tunnel was blocked by a pool of water. Pi Junzi took the lead and jumped in.
After swimming several dozen meters underwater, the front suddenly opened up. The few of them discovered that they had already dived to the bottom of the sea. They used their transcendence vision to scan the surroundings vigilantly. The corals and fishes were colorful. It was a scene of the underwater world.
Miao Yi pointed in a direction, and they quickly swam towards it.
After breaking through the collapsed tunnel, Gu Sanzheng and Tan Lao finally made their way into Pi Junzi's lair. However, they realized that it was a dead end.
"It's impossible for people to disappear for no reason. There must be another way."
As soon as Tan Lao finished speaking, Gu Sanzheng's Thunderclap Flying Swords were already wildly shooting out in all directions. Bang! The entrance to the secret passageway was instantly blasted open. Tan Lao immediately used his shield to shield himself as he charged in first. When the two of them arrived at the secret chamber, they saw the secret passageway that Miao Yi and the others had used to escape.
He barged into the secret passage and chased after them. When they saw a pool of water blocking their path, the Thunderclap Flying Swords shot into the water and twisted around wildly. Gu Sanzheng then jumped in first.
By the time the two of them emerged from the surface of the sea, Miao Yi and the others were nowhere to be seen. The night was still dark. With the sea as their cover, they couldn't tell which direction Miao Yi and the others had escaped to even with their transcendence vision open.
The Thunderclap Flying Swords returned to their sheaths as Gu Sanzheng angrily said, "What a cunning bastard. He still managed to escape in the end."
"Do you think this bastard might have intentionally left and then gone back to hide on the island?" Tan Lao asked.
"That's highly possible!" Gu Sanzheng nodded.
The two of them still refused to give up. Once again, they headed back to the shore to search for traces of Miao Yi and the others. After losing the black fox, Tan Lao tossed out a few red-nosed rats and had them sniff around. However, the rats searched the entire shoreline and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. This undoubtedly proved that Miao Yi and the others hadn't gone ashore yet. They had indeed escaped by diving into the sea.
After an entire night of struggle, the first rays of dawn were already peeking out from the horizon. Tan Lao narrowed his eyes and said, "Fortunately, it's already daybreak. I don't believe they can hide in the sea forever."
With a flip of his hand, he took out a bronze flute and placed it by his lips. He invoked his transcendence energy and blew into it. The melodious sound of the flute drifted into the distance.
Soon, a large flock of seabirds and other flying birds flew over amidst the first rays of dawn and landed beside the two of them.
Tan Lao grabbed a handful of silver needles and quickly pierced them into the heads of several thousand birds. He then placed the flute by his lips and abruptly blew into it with a piercing sound. As if awakened from a dream, the surrounding birds spread their wings and flew off in all directions.
Gu Sanzheng understood Tan Lao's intentions and was inwardly amazed at how many tricks they had up their sleeves. As expected of the School of Imperial Beasts. However, he pondered for a moment and said, "But with the speed of these ordinary birds, who knows how long it will take for them to return after they find them."
Tan Lao said, "At least we can confirm the direction that bastard fled in. It's better than us searching aimlessly across the vast ocean. If we go in the wrong direction, given how vast the Western Star Sea is, it will be difficult to find them again. Not to mention, we can also use this opportunity to recover the transcendence energy we expended and clean up our spoils of war. I'm sure we've gained quite a lot this time. Come to think of it, we didn't waste our time following that bastard. It's going to be difficult to find so many people gathered in one place to make a move! "
Gu Sanzheng nodded in agreement. The two of them turned around and released their Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts. They ran up to the top of a mountain and saw a huge ring of fire burning across the entire island. Aside from the Blaze Resins that were still burning in the center, the other trees had already been burnt to ashes. The fire had already been extinguished, and the flames continued to spread across the entire island...
Western Constellations Palace.
Standing in front of the astrolabe, Hei Yun pointed to a certain direction and chuckled, "It's been a long time since I've seen so many people die at once. Seven to eight hundred of them died in one go. That group with the most people lost nearly half of its members. How rare."
Yun Guang nodded and said, "It looks like there are only five hundred of them left. It looks like they've encountered a powerful enemy!"
Behind him, Zuo Nanchun remained silent, but his eyes flickered.
A hint of worry flashed across Fairy Hong Chen's eyes. She reckoned that the odds were against that person. If it really was that person, then perhaps it might not be a bad thing for him or her Junior Sister to disappear just like that...
Above the vast ocean, the sky had already brightened. Miao Yi and the others finally emerged from the surface of the ocean after swimming for so long. Treading on the waves, they were already far away from the continent from last night.
"We can't keep running like this. We haven't stopped for the past two days. We need to recover our transcendence energy. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble if we encounter a powerful enemy," Zhao Fei suddenly reminded.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a small island. He was implying that they should rest on the island for a while.
Sikong Wuwei nodded in agreement. However, Miao Yi suddenly beckoned the white-haired old man over, gesturing for him to come over.
The white-haired old man was terrified. He didn't know what Miao Yi was going to do to him this time, so he slowly approached Miao Yi.
Miao Yi smiled and asked, "May I know your name, and what is your cultivation?"
"My name is Tao Yongchun. I'm ashamed to say it. I've cultivated for over eight thousand years, but my cultivation is only at Blue Lotus Seventh Grade," the old man carefully replied.
Miao Yi turned to look at Pi Junzi. Seeing him nod slightly, he knew the old man wasn't lying. He then asked, "If I remember correctly, you're a Peach Blossom Tree Demon?"
"Yes." Tao Yongchun nodded.
Miao Yi chuckled and said, "You saw what happened last night. That group of people was really strong. Naturally, the further we run, the safer it will be. I wonder if Brother Tao is planning to go alone, or to travel with us?"
Tao Yongchun carefully said, "Even though I'm not that strong, I can still help. It's better if we can rely on each other when we're together." To put it bluntly, he felt that it was safer to be together. Most of the participants of the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade probably had the same mentality.
"I think so too." Miao Yi suddenly sighed. "Unfortunately, my brothers and I just went through a huge battle and have expended a lot of transcendence energy. If we continue like this, it will be very troublesome if we encounter a powerful enemy. That's why we want to find a place to rest and recover our transcendence energy."
'If you want to rest, then rest. Is there a need to tell me? ' Tao Yongchun smiled suspiciously and said, "Of course."
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei were a little confused as well. What was Miao Yi trying to say? Was there a need to ask this demon for his opinion?
As soon as the Peach Blossom Tree Demon agreed, Miao Yi immediately said, "Aren't you a Peach Blossom Tree Demon? It's easy for trees to float on the sea. Hurry up and reveal your true form. Let us land on your body and rest for a bit. That way, you can continue carrying us on our journey.
"Ah! This … "Tao Ruchun was instantly dumbfounded.
Pi Junzi sighed inwardly. Zhao Fei looked up at the sky. He had a feeling that it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't express his opinion.
Sikong Wuwei clapped his hands and laughed, "Good idea! Old demon, didn't you say you could help as well? Now is the time for you to do your part. What are you waiting for? Friend or foe, it's all up to you! "He brandished the Mountain Suppressing Hammer in his hand. This was clearly a threat.
Tao Ruchun's expression twitched, but the situation was against him. He clearly had no room to refuse.
In the end, he glanced at the hammer in Sikong Wuwei's hand and smiled drily as he nodded. With a flash of blue light, he transformed into a giant peach blossom tree that was almost ten thousand years old. It fell into the water, but its leaves and roots retracted.
Miao Yi was the first to jump up. The others followed suit, and Miao Yi pointed out the direction to the Peach Blossom Tree Demon.
The Peach Blossom Tree Demon's branches of various sizes immediately stirred the seawater like countless propellers of various sizes. With so many propellers working together, the Peach Blossom Tree Demon was able to break through the waves at an incredible speed. It wasn't much slower than the speed at which everyone was traversing the sea.
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei exchanged glances. Judging from the direction they were heading, they were going to look for Qi Xiuhong.
That was right. They were going to look for Qi Xiuhong. Miao Yi actually wanted to find a place to wait for Charcoal, but he was afraid that something might happen to Qi Xiuhong if he waited for too long. After all, Qi Xiuhong didn't know where they were, and Charcoal could use his innate talent to find him.
