Lou Xiaoyi ran at lightning speed! His speed was already above Zu Chong's, and with the help of the Earth Escape technique, he left Zu Chong in the dust after a few turns!
He sped up again. The route was already set, and the destination was very clear!
Zu Chong chased towards the south of the Cold North Continent, because the fastest shortcut to leave the Yellow Court Continent was in this direction — the man-made spatial fissure. If this swindler chose to fly out of the continent, to be honest, not to mention Zu Chong, even a Perfected Cultivator or a Perfected Cultivator wouldn't be able to stop him. The Yellow Court World was too big, almost a hundred thousand miles wide, with countless cultivators entering and exiting. There was no way to stop him, and it was impossible to set up such a large defensive formation.
Therefore, he could only bet that this swindler would use the spatial fissure. He could go to the entrance of the spatial fissure in the Yellow Court Mountain, and he definitely wouldn't be able to stop him. However, he could ask the cultivator on duty for a list of the cultivators who entered and left the Yellow Court recently. He didn't have the right to investigate the whereabouts of the Yellow Court's own cultivators, but the swindler definitely wasn't from the Yellow Court. He only needed to know who had left the continent through the spatial fissure in the recent period after the swindler, and he would have a basic suspect group.
However, Lou Xiaoyi was flying towards the north! There was no entrance to the spatial fissure in this direction, and he wasn't stupid enough to spend a few months traversing through the sea of clouds. The reason why he was flying towards this direction was because there was a section of the spatial fissure here!
A more simple understanding of the spatial fissure was a bit like a human's broken leg. Due to various reasons, the blood vessels protruded from the surface of the skin. The Zhou Xian Upper Realm had a long history, and it had been immersed in the path of spatial fissure for a long time. The spatial fissure passageways they established would often have slight variations due to the energy balance within the fissure being connected with the natural fissure due to the passage of time.
This situation wouldn't affect the cultivators passing through, but the spatial fissure would no longer be hidden in the dimensional space, and part of it would be exposed to the main world! This situation wasn't rare. The spatial fissure passageway system that covered the entire Zhou Xian Upper Realm would occasionally reveal a small section in each continent. However, the exposed spatial fissure couldn't be entered by cultivators, and couldn't be exited from it, because it was still in a sealed state in a practical sense.
Take the space north of Liangbei Road as an example. It was about dozens of miles long and vaguely resembled a bulging blood vessel on a person's leg. It started from nowhere and then disappeared without affecting the normal operation of the space.
This was the trump card that Lou Xiaoyi relied on to become a bandit in the upper realm of Zhou Xian!
He had once picked up a black iron plate in the chaos of the spatial rifts in the Land of Exile. It was used by the stowaways in the Land of Exile to create an extension of the spatial rifts. In the end, it was the item that pulled him into the rift.
He had carefully studied this item during the year when he was traveling alone in the rift. The reason why he was interested in it at that time was because he wanted to obtain another method to enter and exit the rift other than the guidance of providence. He knew nothing about spatial rifts, so he could only place his hopes on this foreign object that he had picked up. There was nothing he could do about it.
After studying it for a while, he realized that this item only had the ability to pull oneself into the rift, just like what the stowaways did. However, it couldn't extend oneself out of the rift. It was a one-way, irreversible process.
This made him very disappointed, and he slowly lost interest in it. It wasn't until he came to the upper realm of Zhou Xian that he thought of this item when he wanted to rob the top Five Elements materials here!
After the stowaways used this item once, its power was greatly reduced. It should be a semi-consumable item whose function gradually weakened. Its effect was very special, but unfortunately, it couldn't be used for a long time. He didn't know how many times he could use it. He held the idea that he could only use it once and when it was finished.
The Jade-gold Scissors was the expansion function of this item. When there was an external force, it wouldn't compete with other items in terms of sharpness. It would directly bring it into its alternate space until its energy was exhausted!
This time wouldn't be long, so Lou Xiaoyi had to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, the space wouldn't be able to control this treasure. As soon as it returned to the main world, Zu Chong would immediately react.
Therefore, he turned around and ran. After getting rid of the victim's family, he went straight to the spatial rift. He wanted to safely release the treasure and completely refine it.
Closely following the spatial rift, he took out the black iron plate again. As his magical power surged, the black iron plate penetrated into the two-dimensional space of the spatial rift. Following that, the rift expanded and wrapped Lou Xiaoyi in it. After a while, the expansion quickly disappeared, but the person who was wrapped in it didn't appear again.
The ability of the black iron plate, when in the spatial rift of the Land of Exile, could expand the spatial rift to more than a hundred miles. But now, it could only expand to less than a hundred feet. But it didn't matter. For Lou Xiaoyi, who couldn't wait to hug the spatial rift, even if it only expanded to ten feet, it would be enough to wrap around him!
In the spatial rift, Lou Xiaoyi found that familiar feeling again. But now was not the time for him to relax. Beside him, there was still a pair of Jade-gold Scissors rampaging. But even if it was extremely sharp and could cut through all material objects, it couldn't do anything to the illusory two-dimensional space barrier.
The connection between the Jade-gold Scissors and its master had been broken. Now, it was like a babbling child who couldn't find anyone to rely on.
Every kind of weapon had a stage in the process of becoming a spirit, including swords: the nurturing stage, the familiarization stage, the instinctive stage, and the spiritual wisdom stage. The spiritual wisdom stage of a flying sword was the sword spirit, and the spiritual wisdom stage of a magic weapon was the weapon spirit. The material of the Jade-gold Scissors was very high, but its shortcoming was that it had not been refined for long. Now, it was still in the familiarization stage. The master could release it to fight enemies, and could also control it freely, but it had yet to develop its own consciousness.
Its current collision was purely instinctive, relying on the residual consciousness of the master on the scissors. It only needed a certain amount of time before it would naturally dissipate and become a dead object. The length of time was determined by the strength of the master's spiritual power.
So, the best way to deal with it was to constantly provoke it, and let it attack on its own, increasing the consumption of the remaining spiritual power on the scissors. Lou Xiaoyi didn't have to worry about the scissors hurting him. Without the support of a cultivator's magical power, the scissors' attacks were as slow as a snail's!
Under his provocation, the Jade-gold Scissors vainly chased after the enemy, and its residual spiritual power rapidly decreased. In the end, it was caught by Lou Xiaoyi and became a completely dead object.
It was good that it was a dead object. It would save him the endless trouble of refining it, and it wouldn't make him feel guilty for killing a living thing.
It was very difficult for a living thing, especially a weapon that had developed spiritual wisdom, and it needed to be cherished. Fortunately, Zu Chong didn't spend too much time on it, so it saved the robber a lot of psychological obstacles.
It was also fate!
