C408 The Monster King Made His Move
No matter who it was, they would still find it inconceivable that Gu Lianche's group would retreat just because of the appearance of Sikong Shengjie. Of course, this also included the heavily injured Ling Yunfan and Qiu Yimin.
"Alright, I've done what I needed to do." Sensing that the Gu family's people were already hundreds of thousands of miles away, Sikong Sheng adjusted the clothes on his body and mumbled. He then turned around, looked at Ling Yunfan and asked, "What about you guys, are you guys?"
"Senior, thank you for saving us. Both of us are fine. This one will definitely repay you for saving my life in the future." Seeing that the other party was going to save his two juniors and even more so treat them with such gentleness, Ling Yunfan immediately propped himself up from the ground while cupping his fists in thanks.
"Thank you, senior."
Qiu Yi Min followed his lead, her face full of gratitude.
There is no need to be courteous, I am merely being asked to be loyal. Since there is nothing wrong, I will help someone bring you all back to Jade Sky City. I believe that old thing Xuanyuan Hao will immediately come and pick you all up so that you don't have to worry about being caught by that old bastard Gu Lianche when you go back. Hearing this, Sikong Sheng Jie spoke in the same indifferent tone as before.
"No …"
"Buzz!"
Hearing his words, Lingyun wanted to refuse, but before he could even finish, he was enveloped by demonic essence. In just a second, they disappeared.
In fact, it was very normal for him to refuse since he originally did not like accepting favors from others. Moreover, this person, who was at the pinnacle of the Blood Slaughter Grounds and even the Ancestral Land, had actually offended the family head of the Gu family, Gu Lianche, who was around the same level as him today. This made him feel that it was very inconceivable.
To him, if he accepted too much kindness, there was nothing he could do to repay it.
"It's just as what the red lotus said. It's really a solitary and eccentric fellow. This kind of person is the most troublesome." After sending the two of them off, a hint of helplessness appeared in Sikong Sheng's emotionless eyes. After mumbling to himself, he turned into a gust of wind and disappeared. His speed was so fast that not even an afterimage remained, and even his aura disappeared in an instant.
And this kind of terrifying speed was probably one of the stronger transcendent Mortal Realm experts.
"..."
At the same time, on the other side, after suddenly being enveloped by Sikong Sheng's demon essence, Qiu Yimin and Ling Yunfan, who instantly felt a strong sense of dizziness, only felt the wind around them becoming abnormally fast.
"Buzz!"
"Da Da …"
Roughly half a quarter of an hour later, two clusters of pale white light suddenly appeared in the sky above the main street of Jade Sky City. After which, the two of them walked out and descended from the sky.
"Who is this?"
"Never seen him before."
"How did he get here?"
Seeing the two of them land on the ground with a blank look on their faces, the people who passed by started to discuss who they were.
"I've never seen a woman before, but I think I've seen that man somewhere before. He looks familiar, but I can't remember where."
"I remember now, this man is the guy that made Miss Li Xi become so docile."
"Right, I also remember that person at that time having the exact same appearance as him."
"Could it be that this person's cultivation is strong enough to appear out of thin air?"
Not long after, there were people who recognized Ling Yunfan and began to loudly discuss him.
On the contrary, Qiu Yimin was exceptionally concerned about their discussion. After all, she had heard the words that made Miss Li Xi become docile, which made it difficult for a woman like her to not care. After all, from these words, one could tell that the other person was most likely the man she loved, or a woman who liked Ling Yunfan.
"Welcome back to Jade Heaven City, little friend Yun Fan."
Just as Ling Yunfan realized that he had returned to the Jade Heaven City with Qiu Yimin, before he could do anything, Shi Qing had already flown over like a gust of wind.
In this way, it should be as Sikong Sheng had guessed. As long as they appeared in the Jade Heaven City, Xuanyuan Hao would definitely be the first to sense them and would then send someone to fetch them.1
"What's going on? Why is he injured?" After arriving in front of him, Yan Qing immediately noticed that something was wrong with Ling Yun's body. First, his Spiritual Energy fluctuation was so weak that it could not even be compared to half of the Spiritual Energy he had emitted when he had first met him. Then, his pale complexion.
Although the other person was not related to him, Lingyun was still his master's benefactor. Now that something had happened to him, as his servant, he could not just ignore it and ignore it.
"Let's find a better place to talk first." Hearing this, Lingyun did not reply, but requested to return to the Lord's Palace first.
"Let's go!"
Hearing his words, Yan Qing didn't say anything more, immediately releasing his spiritual energy from the Transcending Mortality Stage to cover the two of them, before flying towards the Lord's Palace at the fastest speed possible.
…
Although the Jade Heaven City was very large, the Transcending Mortality Stage experts were still very fast. In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the three of them had already returned to the palace hall.
It was the same as usual here. Although there were quite a few female servants doing some chores here, no guests had come here. Only Xuanyuan Hao sat on the furthest Throne, quietly looking at the scroll in his hands.
"He's back!"
When he felt the aura coming from outside the hall, he slowly put down the scroll in his hand and looked over with a slightly happy expression.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Lixi, who was still refining pills, had also sensed the aura of her little master. Naturally, she put down her pill refinement and immediately rushed into the hall.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to bring that old ghost's daughter back after a trip to the Thousand Monster Mountain. She is indeed my little friend, Yun Fan!" Seeing the three of them walk over, Xuanyuan Hao immediately recognized that Qiu Yi Min, who was following closely behind Ling Yun, was the daughter of the Qiu Family. He could not help but exclaim in his heart, but when he realized that Ling Yun was in a strange state, he immediately went up and asked, "What happened to little friend Yun Fan's injuries?"
To his question, Yan Qing did not answer, because he did not know either, so he stood to the side and quietly watched.
Lingyun, on the other hand, swallowed a healing pellet and started to heal the wounds that Gu Lianche casually struck out. As a result, only Qiu Yi Min told him about their encounters in the Thousand Monster Mountain and the injuries on her beloved man.
