"Bang!"

Chen Changsheng collapsed weakly onto the ground, next to him was Ikkyu, whose face was as pale as a corpse.

After hearing about the formidable power of the Transcendent Realist, Ikkyu used a secret technique six times in a row, successfully teleporting the two of them six thousand miles away.

This kind of secret technique that consumes vital essence and lifespan is something even an uninjured Ikkyu could not perform many times.

Now, with severe injuries, Ikkyu had used it six times in succession, and the only difference between him and a dead man was a single breath.

However, even after escaping six thousand miles, Chen Changsheng still felt uneasy.

He then began to use the Blood Escape technique with the dying Ikkyu.

Twelve Blood Escapes, that was Chen Changsheng's current limit; any more and he would die on the spot.

He casually threw out a few formation flags and then struggled to stuff a handful of pills into Ikkyu's mouth.

Using the last bit of his strength to finish his preparations, Chen Changsheng's vision went black and he fainted.

Before losing consciousness, Chen Changsheng thought to himself.

"If he can still catch up, then let him kill me. If I keep running, I'll die without him even lifting a finger."

......

Outside the capital of the Nightmoon Kingdom.

"Swish!"

The Transcendent Realist appeared at the place where Chen Changsheng had first stopped.

His vast divine sense instantly enveloped a thousand-mile radius.

But after a thorough search, the Transcendent Realist's mouth twitched.

Because he realized that his disciple's grand-disciple was really good at running.

Even though this body was just a clone, its strength was definitely not inferior to an average Divine Transformation stage cultivator.

He was all too familiar with the auras of Ikkyu and Chen Changsheng.

As long as they hadn't escaped beyond five thousand miles, he was confident he could catch them, and even if they had gone beyond five thousand miles.

As long as they were within ten thousand miles, he still had ways to sense them.

But now, after using every means at his disposal, he still couldn't sense Chen Changsheng's aura.

This meant that within just two hours, Chen Changsheng had already traveled beyond ten thousand miles.

Thinking of this, the Transcendent Realist sneered, "My dear grand-disciple, you better hide well."

"If Master Ancestor finds you, you might not keep your little life."

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

With that, the Transcendent Realist turned and flew back to the Nightmoon Kingdom.

Now that the main body was in trouble, this clone couldn't be delayed for too long.

......

"Changsheng, can we stop running?"

Ikkyu lay weakly on the flying sword, and Chen Changsheng, who had just recovered a bit of spiritual power, began to flee with Ikkyu again.

Faced with Chen Changsheng's persistent behavior, Ikkyu felt a wave of speechlessness.

"The Transcendent Realist is only at the peak of the Divine Transformation stage, he's not above that. We've already escaped beyond ten thousand miles, he can't catch us."

Hearing this, not only did Chen Changsheng not stop, but he also increased his flying speed.

"Better safe than sorry, who knows if my Master Ancestor has some secret technique to find us."

"To be safe, let's run another twenty thousand miles."

"Stop talking and focus on healing. Once you're healed, you can take us away."

Hearing this, Ikkyu rolled his eyes and then closed them to start healing.

After a hundred years apart, this old acquaintance's cautious nature remained unchanged.

Now reunited, Ikkyu had many questions for Chen Changsheng.

For instance, why did Chen Changsheng leave without a word back then, how did Uncle Changsheng know Chen Changsheng.

And why did Chen Changsheng, who originally had no cultivation talent, reach the Golden Elixir Realm and even gain considerable cultivation talent.

These questions troubled Ikkyu, but they could only be asked once they were safe.

......

Time passed, and a month quickly went by. As Chen Changsheng had said a month ago, they fled a full twenty thousand miles.

"Can we stop running now?"

"We're a full thirty thousand miles away from the Nightmoon Kingdom, even if the Transcendent Realist were a god, he might not find us."

Saying this, Ikkyu and Chen Changsheng slowly descended onto a mountain peak.

Looking at the surroundings, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "It should be enough, we're now separated from the Nightmoon Kingdom by an entire dynasty."

"Even if the Transcendent Realist wants to catch us, it won't be that easy."

"If you say it's fine, then it probably is."

"By the way, back then..."

"Where's Niansheng?"

Before Ikkyu could finish, Chen Changsheng interrupted him.

Faced with this question, Ikkyu's gaze became evasive, clearly unsure how to face Chen Changsheng.

"Uh... Uncle, she... is missing."

"Missing?"

"What do you mean? Even if you told me now that Niansheng met a tragic end, I could barely understand."

"But what does 'missing' mean? She went into the Forbidden Zone with you."

"A perfectly fine person, how could she be missing?"

Listening to Chen Changsheng, Ikkyu said with difficulty, "Back then, when the sect learned that the Transcendent Realist had betrayed the kingdom."

"They sent me and Uncle to investigate the Forbidden Zone's secrets, hoping to change the course of the war."

"After arriving at the Forbidden Zone, we followed the clues given by the Shangqing Temple and smoothly discovered the Nightmoon Kingdom's secret."

"But when sealing that ominous power, we were discovered."

"Wanyan Aguduo gathered two Divine Transformation stage ancestors to besiege us, and at that time, the ancestors of the Heavenly Buddha Temple and Linglong Sect came to our aid."

"Yet we still couldn't break through, and in the end, the two ancestors sacrificed themselves to forcibly seal most of that power."

Faced with Ikkyu's explanation, Chen Changsheng frowned deeply.

"I'm not asking about the Forbidden Zone's situation, I want to know if Li Niansheng is dead or alive?"

"After the ancestors sacrificed themselves, we naturally couldn't escape."

"We thought we were about to die, but who would have thought Uncle found a broken ancient teleportation formation in the bronze ancient hall."

"Though the formation was broken, with some makeshift repairs, it could still be used."

"And then?"

"Don't tell me you stayed behind alone to cover the retreat and let Niansheng go first."

"Of course not, who wants to die if they can live!"

"But as I said, the teleportation formation was broken, and I fell out during the teleportation."

"Later, with no other choice, I hid in the crack of the seal, ready to perish together if they tried to kill me."

"If not for that, I probably wouldn't be alive now."

"Where does the teleportation formation in the bronze ancient hall lead to?"

"I don't know, ancient teleportation formations are very powerful, I can't understand them."

"But the teleportation distance should be over a hundred thousand miles."
