Chapter 426: Separation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xie Long’s pupils reflected the delicate hand that was coming toward him. However, he did not have the time to appreciate it. His eyes widened, and dense blood vessels climbed around his pupils.

Under the tremendous gravity, even he, who was a late-stage Saint, could not help but feel that it was difficult for him to move an inch. In addition to Little Nine’s decisive attack, it was almost a sure-death situation.

“Nine Yang Chain!” Seeing that Little Nine’s attack was about to arrive, Xie Long growled in a low voice.

As his voice fell, a golden light flew out from the storage bag at his waist. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a golden necklace. The surface of the necklace had faintly discernible patterns wandering about, and a mysterious fluctuation was emitted.

The necklace directly arrived in front of Little Nine and Xie Long. The golden light emitted was becoming increasingly intense. It immediately began to rotate. A dazzling golden disc was built between the two of them. If one were to carefully observe, one would discover that nine glaring suns were actually revealed on this golden circular plate.

At the same time, Little Nine’s attack gently landed on the golden plate.

Bang!

A deafening sound was heard. Immediately after, sparks flew in all directions. An invisible force spread in all directions extremely quickly.

Xie Long clearly sighed in relief after blocking this attack.

This seemingly light palm strike from Little Nine was enough to take his life.

However, before he could rejoice for a while, a crisp sound made his originally relaxed heart once again raise.

Crack —

The sound was not loud. It could even be said to be very soft. It was so soft that it was easy to ignore.

However, this sound was like an earth-shattering explosion in Xie Long’s ears.

He raised his head with difficulty. He looked at the Nine Yang Chain that was spinning at high speed in front of him. He saw an inconspicuous crack appear at one of the places.

Immediately, Xie Long’s pupils contracted to the size of a needle tip.

A wave of shock surged into his heart, causing him to be at a loss.

One had to know that this Nine Yang Chain was a genuine earth-grade, middle-tier spirit tool. Although it was not a defensive spirit tool, its defensive power was definitely not to be underestimated.

But now, it was actually cracked by a woman’s palm strike!

“You must be joking…” Looking at the cracks that were gradually spreading, the corners of Xie Long’s mouth twitched.

In the next moment, there was another soul-stirring huge explosion.

Boom —

Under this explosion, the Nine Yang Chain shattered with a loud sound.

There was no time to be shocked, the huge shock wave sent Xie Long flying.

While he was flying, Xie Long suddenly felt his body lighten up. The gravity that had been pressing on his body had disappeared without a trace.

Without any hesitation, he used all his strength to adjust his body. With the help of the huge shock wave created by the explosion, he fled into the distance.

Under his unreserved speed, his figure disappeared into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, the aftermath of the explosion gradually dissipated. By the time Gu Xi reacted, he realized that Xie Long had already disappeared.

A massive amount of spiritual sense gushed out from his mind in all directions, quickly covering everything within dozens of miles. However, Gu Xi did not find any trace of Xie Long. Clearly, this guy had already run out of the range of his spiritual sense.

“I didn’t expect him to run away.” Putting away his spiritual sense, Gu Xi narrowed his eyes and muttered.

“It’s because of me.” Little Nine had appeared at the side at some point, and there was some guilt in her words.

If the Nine Yang Chains had not exploded just now, then it would not have caused the Mountain-back Array to temporarily lose its effectiveness. Xie Long would not have slipped away right under their noses.

The explosion of an earth-grade spirit tool was enough to cause a similar earth-grade spirit array to go into chaos or even perish together. Fortunately, the Fountain-back Array had been refined by the System. A perfect-tier Mountain-back Formation would not be destroyed by a regular earth-grade spirit tool. It would be different if it was someone else controlling the formation.

“If there’s a chance, it’s better to kill that guy.” Gu Xi did not blame Little Nine. Instead, he had already started to think of a way to deal with the situation. Once his identity was revealed to the public, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in the entire Eastern Continent.

When that time came, the outer realm demonic race would take this opportunity to cause trouble. Then, he, Gu Xi, would become the main culprit in this matter.

“I’m leaving.” At this moment, Qing Zhu suddenly interrupted Gu Xi’s thoughts.

“Leaving?” Gu Xi was stunned, and did not understand for a moment.

“Back to the Central Plains.”

Qing Zhu smiled slightly and turned her head to look in the direction of the Central Plains from afar. She continued, “Elder Gu just sent a message saying that his and Elder Yun’s injuries have almost recovered. He has also sent a message to the Central Plains that the outer realm demonic race has sneaked into the Four Continents. Father has ordered us to return to the Central Plains without delay.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi nodded without any intention of stopping her.

Although he did not know Qing Zhu’s true identity, the situation on the Four Continents was turbulent. Being able to return to the Central Plains was obviously the best and safest choice.

“In that case, I wish you a safe journey.” Gu Xi smiled.

Although he was a little surprised to lose Qing Zhu and Elder Gu at this juncture, he had already mentally prepared himself for this.

Qing Zhu nodded and turned around to leave. However, she stopped after taking a few steps. After hesitating for a moment, she took out a jade pendant with obscure patterns on its surface from her storage bag and threw it to Gu Xi. She said softly, “If you can go to the Central Plains in the future, feel free to use this to find me if you have any difficulties.”

Gu Xi carefully sized up the seemingly ordinary jade pendant in his hand. He did not think too much about it and nodded with a smile.

Perhaps his arrival day to the Central Plains was not far away.

Now that he had retrieved the teleportation array, it was only a matter of time before he would head to the Central Plains. Of course, without the support of the Greater Teleportation Token, the activation of the array required a large amount of spiritual power.

Seeing Gu Xi accept the jade pendant, Qing Zhu gently tapped the ground. A faint green spiritual power immediately surrounded her body and gently lifted her up. Then, she flew into the distance at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, her figure had already turned into a small dot on the horizon.

At the same time, dozens of miles away from the arena.

Xie Long was sitting on the ground, panting heavily.

Fortunately, he had run fast just now. Otherwise, he would have died by now.

At this moment, in front of him were the disciples of the Ancient Sect who were participating in the Grand Sect Competition.

“Send a message back to the sect. Ask them to immediately investigate the identity and background of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion who are participating in the competition. We must not make any mistakes!”

Xie Long took a short break and immediately gave the order.

Hearing this, the disciples looked at each other in confusion, but they could only do as they were told.
