After Chu An received Jin Zhixing's report, he knew what was going on. He said to the Lie Emperor, "Emperor, I have already spoken to Master Jin. Master Jin is ready. If he has the item, he can leave now."
In the eyes of the Lie Emperor, he only stayed silent for a while before he got the answer. He was surprised and asked, "You were talking to your master just now?"
Chu An answered, "Yes."
The Lie Emperor was even more surprised, he said, "I heard that the Celestial Beings can talk to people from a thousand miles away. I didn't expect it to be true."
Chu An smiled. Since the Ancestor Stone had not been obtained yet, he was willing to chat with the Lie Emperor since he had nothing else to do. He said, "This is nothing. As long as you join our sect, you will be able to obtain this ability. This is not unique to us Celestial Beings."
The Lie Emperor was even more surprised. He leaned forward and asked curiously, "Oh? Then, do you think I can do it? "
Chu Anwei said, "Your Majesty is not young anymore. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to cultivate such a technique. If Your Majesty has a son who is under the age of fifteen and is willing to cultivate in my sect, you might have a chance to obtain this technique if you are fated."
The Lie Emperor thought of his children and shook his head.
According to the rules of the Hao Clan, his children did not live with him since they were young. They were educated according to their talents. Other than blood, there was no emotional connection between them.
Moreover, the blood relationship was discounted. If he was just a substitute of the previous Lie Emperor, he might not even be considered his children.
However, it was also because of this that he left so decisively without any burden.
He was also very interested in the Celestial Beings. He asked Chu An about some things in detail and Chu An told him everything he could. The two of them talked for a while in the palace. Then, Advisor Wu walked in and greeted, "Your Majesty."
The Lie Emperor asked anxiously, "How was it?"
Advisor Wu said, "It was very smooth. We got the item." He raised his hand and showed Chu An a smooth jade stone. He said to Chu An, "Mr. Chu, is this the item?"
When Mao An saw this, he immediately used the Xuntian Dao Zhang to show it to Jin Zhixing. After receiving a clear and accurate reply, he happily said, "This is it. Emperor, Councilor Wu, if you want to leave, we can leave now. "
The Lie Emperor looked to the other side, and his trusted aide said respectfully, "Your Majesty, everything you need to bring has been prepared. We can depart at any time."
Lie Huang hesitated for a moment before asking Advisor Wu, "Advisor Wu, what do you think will happen if I leave?"
Advisor Wu said calmly, "Nothing will happen. Tomorrow, there will still be a Lie Emperor in the palace. His Majesty's wife and children will not have to worry about not being taken care of."
The Lie Emperor smiled bitterly, "Yes, yes." Of the two "yes" s, the first one contained countless complicated emotions, while the second one seemed to be relieved.
He walked down from the throne, bowed to Chu An and said, "Mister, please use your divine ability."
Chu An said with a serious face, "I will do my best." Next, the Lie Emperor and the other two stood with him under his guidance. Then, he poured his heart's light into the talisman. In an instant, a ray of starlight enveloped them. In a flash, they had already ascended into the sky. In an instant, they were outside of Huang City.
The Lie Emperor was, after all, an emperor. None of the guards here would stop him. However, when he went out on a normal day, the guards would be arranged properly. It would not be so easy for him to go out. Especially at a time like this, the cultivators of the six sects would not allow him to leave the city easily.
However, if he really wanted to go out, and if he had the ability to do so, then there was indeed no barrier of creation that would stop him. Therefore, he was able to escape easily this time.
However, this action also alarmed the garrison forces within the city. Xue Zhidao was the first to discover that something was wrong. Originally, he was flipping through the book. After sensing the abnormality, there was a flash of light outside his body, and he came from the meeting hall to the imperial palace. He looked at the empty throne in front of him, and his expression could not help but become gloomy.
At this moment, the other cultivators within the city rushed over and appeared beside him.
He turned around and said to the crowd, "The Emperor has left the city."
One of the cultivators asked, "Should we go after him immediately?"
Xue Zhidao said, "There is no need to make a big fuss. Daoist Qi, bring a few people with you and go after him. "He paused," If the Emperor does not want to return, you can make the decision yourself. "
The cultivator nodded and immediately turned into a ray of light and flew away. At the same time, a few other rays of light flew out from the city and chased after the Lie Emperor.
Xue Zhidao, on the other hand, decisively gave out a few orders. They were all used to minimize the incident and try not to let the people in the city know that the Lie Emperor had escaped.
In the end, he summoned an old artisan and asked, "How are the preparations?"
The artisan said, "As per Zhidao's instructions, we have been prepared."
Xue Zhidao said, "I want to see the Emperor sitting here tomorrow afternoon."
The artisan replied, "As per Zhidao's wishes."
Xue Zhidao said seriously, "Do not make any mistakes."
The artisan said, "Zhidao, this is not the first time we have done this. There will be no mistakes."
In mid-air, the Lie Emperor realized that he was wrapped in a ray of light that was not too dazzling. As the scenery around him flashed by, he could feel that he was moving quickly.
After what seemed like a long time, his speed gradually slowed down. He saw that he was standing on a ray of light and below him was a large piece of land. This was a height that he had never been to before. He said, "Mister Chu, where are we now?"
Chu An said, "We are out of the air barrier. We should be ten thousand miles away from Huangdu." He pointed upwards, "Emperor, look, that is the sun."
The Lie Emperor raised his head and looked. After using the Creator's Solar Star to replace the sunlight and the air barrier, he rarely saw the real sun in the city.
The intense light was so blinding that he could not open his eyes. He covered his eyes with his hand and said, "We are here. Is everything alright?"
Chu An smiled and said, "Of course not. There will be people chasing after us from behind. When the people in front receive the message, they will most likely send people to intercept us. Before we leave the territory under the Emperor's control, I don't think they will give up. However, Emperor, don't worry. Since we promised to protect you, we will definitely bring you away smoothly."
The Lie Emperor shook his head, "Since we have left Huangdu with you, then you don't have to call me Emperor anymore. Just call me Mister Zhu."
At this moment, the three of them saw a ray of light in the sky. A talisman floated in front of them. It circled around them and then floated away. Chu An's eyes lit up, he said, "Mister Zhu, let's follow this talisman." He continued to send his heart's light into the talisman and led the three of them to chase after the talisman.
At this moment, Daoist Qi was chasing after them. Although Chu An and the others were able to travel thousands of miles away from the city with the help of talismans, they were actually going to higher places. Therefore, they didn't leave the northern border.
When they reached the sky, they saw a ball of twinkling starlight in the sky. It was as if a star had fallen into the mortal world. Upon closer inspection, they saw that it was an extremely beautiful Star Cicada. Its wings were fluttering in the starry river. It was dazzling and it blocked their path.
Daoist Qi was surprised at first. Then, he became alert. This time, when the Lie Emperor suddenly escaped, he felt that it was impossible for no one to help him. Hence, he had been on guard. Now that he saw the Star Cicada, his judgment was confirmed.
He wanted to charge forward to stop the Star Cicada, but for some reason, every time such a thought appeared in his mind, he felt a strong sense of danger. It was not only him, but everyone present felt the same way. This made them not dare to act rashly.
After being in a stalemate for more than two hours, the Star Cicada flapped its wings and turned into a ray of brilliant starlight. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the void.
Someone asked, "Senior Martial Brother Qi, do we still want to chase after it?"
Daoist Qi shook his head, "No need, it's too late. Let's go back." No one had any objections. After all, they did not even have the intention to fight against such an enemy. What was the point of chasing after it?
Chu An, the Lie Emperor, and the others followed the talisman. They did not encounter any obstacles along the way. After traveling for a day, they suddenly saw a flying boat in front of them. The Lie Emperor could not help but feel nervous.
Chu An saw the Mystic Cicada Wing Pattern on the belly of the flying boat. He smiled and said, "Mister Zhu, there's no need to be nervous. These are our people."
As the flying boat got closer, it slowed down and the cabin door opened. Mao An and the other three boarded the flying boat. A gentle cultivator was waiting for them inside the boat. He bowed to the four of them and said, "My name is He Li. I've been asked by Mr. Ban to come and help you."
Understanding dawned on Chu An. He bowed and said, "I'll have to trouble you then."
He Li invited them to sit down and continued to drive the flying boat. The flying boat continued to fly towards the northwest. After two days, its speed gradually slowed down.
The Lie Emperor looked down and realized that they had arrived at a hilly area. These days, he had been observing the terrain and the surrounding area. He could tell that they were already out of the Northern Territory. Other than the lush forest, there were also endless green wheat fields.
He was surprised and said, "I thought the Northern Territory was a desolate and barren land. I didn't expect there to be such a prosperous place."
He Li smiled, and didn't provide any further explanation. After almost forty years of operation, this area had already become the largest gathering place for Xuan cultivators besides Mianlu. Moreover, because of the internal strife within the Boundless Clan, this place had become a paradise, and it attracted a large number of people to reside here.
Xuan Dao was widely spread here. At the same time, they did not neglect the path of creation. Many factories were built here. However, in terms of the path of creation, compared to the cities in the hinterland of the Northern Territory, the people here were not any worse off.
Chu An said, "Now that we have arrived at a stable place, it's time for Mister Zhu to fulfill his promise."
The Lie Emperor did not hesitate at all. It was easy for the other party to snatch his things. Now that he had delivered it here, it was enough to show his sincerity. The Lie Emperor took out the Ancestor Stone and handed it over with both hands. He thanked sincerely, "Thank you for your help."
Chu An received the Ancestor Stone in his hand. At this moment, he suddenly felt something. He lifted the stone up, but after a moment of daze, he realized that the stone had disappeared.
Outside the Yang Capital, Zhang Yu stood on the pivot of the formation with his sleeves behind his back. The Star Cicada flew over like a stream of light and entered his body. Then, he stretched out his hand and looked down. The Ancestor Stone had landed safely in his palm.
