Chapter 121: A Thousand Miles in Pursuit
"Ah, harder, harder..." Two figures were entangled in the scene, but the Poison Master was illuminated by sunlight, making it difficult to see his clear silhouette; only a vague outline was visible. In contrast, Tian Yue's delicate features and body appeared exceptionally clear under the sunlight. The scene lasted only a moment before Tian Ying, in a fit of rage, shattered the Shadow Pattern Orb in Tian Mingyue's hand.
"Sigh." Shi Heng merely sighed, and Tian Ying understood what he meant: first, that she had once again acted against authority; second, expressing regret for the Sacred Land. Tian Mingyue's cheeks flushed red; she had just claimed that the Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary's Inner Sect Disciples could represent their Sacred Land, and now...
"The reason why the Sacred Land is considered sacred is simply because of its mystery. In reality, it is no different from us ordinary mortals. What do you think, Saintess?" Shi Heng asked. Tian Mingyue hesitated, unsure of what to say, realizing that the reputation of the Sacred Land had been tarnished by her own actions. If she denied it, her previous words would indirectly ruin its reputation.
"Saintess, from now on, as long as my Shadow Kill brothers do not provoke your Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary's bottom line, you will not treat us as enemies. I promise not to disclose this matter. How does that sound?" Yang Chen offered to ease Tian Mingyue's tension.
"Alright, then let's set three rules here." Tian Mingyue nodded knowingly, aware that with Yi Tianzheng's protection, it would be impossible to kill Yang Chen.
"Good. So it will be three of us on my side and four of you on yours, plus Elder Yi and two generals from the enemy camp—ten people in total who know about this matter," Yang Chen stated.
"Ten? No, there are only eight," Tian Ying said coldly. She then waved her hand, causing two members of Zhang Gaojun Camp to fall.
"Alright, I guarantee that no ninth person will know. However, I cannot ensure about the other two," Yang Chen referred to the Poison Master and Tian Yue.
"Whoever speaks will die; eradicate the Nine Clans!" Tian Mingyue said coldly.
"What boldness! I admire that. So, are you two planning to return to the Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary?" Yang Chen asked playfully. Tian Mingyue shook her head and said, "I still need to bring the Tianxin sisters back to the Sacred Land."
"Saintess is free to do as she wishes, but I sincerely request that you refrain from doing anything detrimental to Shadow Kill," Yang Chen said gently.
"Of course. Third Elder, please sense the whereabouts of Celestial Spirit's two girls," Tian Mingyue instructed.
"Alright." Tian Ying nodded and after a moment exclaimed angrily: "Saintess, the marks of Celestial Spirit's two girls have begun to dissipate; they will completely vanish in about half a minute. It’s too late to go now." After speaking, Tian Ying's expression darkened.
The Inner Sect Disciples of Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary all bear special marks that allow them to sense each other within a certain range. However, throughout history, when marking by Celestial Maidens was performed, certain measures were taken; once they lose their virginity, the marks within their bodies will dissipate completely within a minute. Without these marks, they can no longer be considered members of the Sacred Land’s Inner Sect. Therefore, finding Celestial Spirit, Tianxin, and Tian Yue again would not be easy.
"Saintess, what should we do?" Tian Ying asked. After a moment of silence, Tian Mingyue looked at Yi Tianzheng for help. Yi Tianzheng set down his teacup and said: "Go back and tell your Celestial Maiden that I said: The way of heaven is cyclical; it is time for changes in the sect. If things remain unchanged and rigidly adhered to old ways, it will eventually decline or even perish!"
"Thank you, Elder Yi. I will definitely convey all of your words," Tian Mingyue said respectfully. Tian Ying wanted to say something but did not speak up.
"After this incident, I think you should have seen through some things. Go back; I have high hopes for you. With you, the Celestial Maiden will thrive!" Yi Tianzheng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior. After returning, I will carefully reflect on what has happened during this trip," Tian Mingyue replied.
"Mm." Yi Tianzheng nodded slightly and picked up his teacup again to drink.
"Then I shall take my leave," Tian Mingyue said to Yang Chen on equal terms.
"In that case, I won't keep you for long. As long as the Saintess comes to the Xuan Continent, I will still be here and will do my best as a host," Yang Chen said seriously.
"Leader Yang is being too polite; I have an uninvited request," Tian Mingyue said.
"Ten thousand deaths cannot absolve me."
"Please pay more attention to the three disciples of my holy land. If they encounter difficulties within your ability and without affecting your interests or moral boundaries, please lend a helping hand," Tian Mingyue requested.
"This is only natural," Yang Chen nodded in agreement.
"In that case, I would like to thank Leader Yang in advance. If Leader Yang ever comes to the Heavenly Continent, you must visit my holy land, how about it?" Tian Mingyue invited.
"There will certainly be opportunities. I hope that when the time comes, the Saintess will not turn me away," Yang Chen smiled.
"That is certainly not going to happen. Well then, Leader Yang, I shall take my leave now," Tian Mingyue said.
"Mm." Yang Chen nodded and watched the four of them leave. Once outside Galaxy City, Tian Ying asked, "Saintess, why are we leaving just like this? Are we really going back to the Heavenly Continent?"
"What else can we do if we don't go back? What a clever Yang Chen; he has done this flawlessly, digging pits for us to jump into every time. Such skillful tactics, truly skillful tactics," Tian Mingyue said through gritted teeth, slightly angry.
"Saintess, forgive my ignorance; please explain."
"Ah, forget it. There's no point in discussing this; there's nothing we can do. Let's go back to the Heavenly Continent. We still have to interact with Yang Chen in the future, so let's talk about it later. Just don't let yourself get taken advantage of again," Tian Mingyue said. Although she said that, she hadn't really suffered a loss; she had only brought herself into the situation.
Not long after Tian Mingyue and the others left, Yi Tianzheng also bid farewell to Yang Chen, saying, "Young friend, I have high hopes for you. In just a few days, you've created such a situation that has caused the people from Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary to suffer a great loss while also strengthening your own power. Impressive, impressive."
"Thank you for your praise, sir. I always remember our previous discussions, and now I naturally have to work hard; otherwise, how can I achieve my goals?" Yang Chen replied with a smile.
"Hehe, alright, I’ll take my leave now," Yi Tianzheng said as he stood up.
"Alright, if you have nothing else, please come down for a drink sometime," Yang Chen said mischievously.
"Uh, definitely," Yi Tianzheng replied awkwardly.
In another location, about ten minutes earlier. After the Poison Master let Xiao Wu and Xiao Jun leave with three others, they rode off at full speed towards Loulan City.
"Wu Ge, Jun Ge, are you alright?" Celestial Spirit and Tianxin asked with concern.
"We're fine. Fourth Legion Commander, how did our mission turn out?" Xiao Jun inquired.
"It was mostly safe. Here, you two should take these two bottles of Life Essence Elixir first." Saying this, he took out the two bottles of Life Essence Elixir left by the Poison Master and handed them to the Xiao brothers, who immediately consumed them.
"There are two Demon Lords chasing us from behind; they're only about five thousand meters away. Captain, what should we do?" Xiao Wu asked.
