At that moment, Ren Pingsheng vanished in an instant as he executed the Shadow Technique. When he reappeared, he was already a hundred zhang away. At this time, all the martial artists were attracted by the King's Artifact he had thrown out, and no one noticed him a hundred zhang away.
"Finally, I can come out," he thought as his figure flickered. After several breaths, he had distanced himself from the Sword King's Tomb, and only then did he have time to breathe a sigh of relief. However, as soon as he relaxed, his whole body ached terribly, especially his chest, which felt as if several bones were broken.
"Kid, keep running; this place is not safe. Those sect-level powerhouses are not fools. If they discover that the King's Artifact is fake, they will catch up to you quickly," the Demon Emperor reminded him.
"You're right; sect-level powerhouses can fly, and their speed is many times faster than mine. This place really isn't safe." After taking some healing medicine, Ren Pingsheng forced himself to regain his spirits. He held a spirit stone in one hand to recover his true energy while unhesitatingly sprinting into the distance.
"I remember you got a flying artifact from the Sword King's Tomb, right? Your current speed isn't fast and consumes true energy," the Demon Emperor's words reminded him again; after being severely injured, it seemed his mind wasn't working well.
"That's right; I remember it's in your spatial ring." He flipped his hand and took out a shuttle-shaped artifact. After tossing it, it expanded to accommodate three or four people.
Ren Pingsheng quickly inserted the spirit stone and infused it with true energy. The shuttle-shaped artifact trembled and began to ascend. Then it changed direction and flew away. Its speed was twice that of Ren Pingsheng's Movement Technique.
"I can't go back to the Great Chu Dynasty now; who knows if there are dangers there? I should head west; the farther I get from there, the better." After thinking for a moment, he controlled the shuttle-shaped artifact while circulating true energy to heal himself. Even though he had protection from Thousand Threads Armor at that time, a full-force strike from a martial artist one major realm above him had exceeded what he could bear.
"This kid is quite clever to use such a trick. However, his gains seem considerable; not only did he obtain the King's Artifact, but he also got this top-tier Zongqi." Li Yun noticed something and sighed. He was envious of Ren Pingsheng's gains. If he could acquire everything on Ren Pingsheng's body, he believed his future would be even more brilliant—destined to be a king-level powerhouse with great potential even to become an emperor-level powerhouse.
"Hmph, cunning little brat; you actually managed to escape." At that moment, Li Yun was also attracted by the King's Artifact. To him, Ren Pingsheng must have been severely injured by the full-force strike from a sect-level powerhouse; let alone escaping, it was questionable whether he could even get up. Now it seemed his initial thoughts were completely wrong.
"Hehe, it seems you have quite a few good things on you; too bad you can't escape. No matter where you go, you won't escape my grasp." He chuckled; when he decided to deal with Ren Pingsheng initially, he had already tampered with something on him.
"Oh? You've already escaped my sensing range? It looks like I'll have to use this." Li Yun was a mid-tier sect-level powerhouse; with a sweep of his divine sense, he could sense within a forty-mile radius. Now he couldn't find Ren Pingsheng's figure.
However, he wasn't anxious at all; instead, he took out a smooth mirror edged in gold. After infusing some true energy into it, the mirror trembled and began to shimmer with light until a small red dot appeared. This small red dot was moving quickly in the direction of Ren Pingsheng's escape.
If Ren Pingsheng were observing at that moment, he would notice that his Identity Jade Token was flashing with Ghostly Light. It seemed Li Yun had tampered with his Identity Jade Token back then to determine his direction now.
"Hehe, found you," Li Yun said with a smile as he put away the mirror and flew toward Ren Pingsheng's direction at a speed much faster than Ren Pingsheng's shuttle-shaped artifact.
As for other sect-level powerhouses who were unaware of Ren Pingsheng's whereabouts, they could only consider themselves unlucky. They turned their attention back to that top-tier Zongqi; although it couldn't compare to the King's Artifact, it was still valuable. Poor Old Qiao still clung to it without realizing that some terrifying individuals had already set their sights on him.
If anyone reacted fastest on the scene, it would be Tian Xie, the Young Master of Heavenly Evil Sect. Initially confused by the weapon thrown by Ren Pingsheng, he recognized it as a King's Artifact after just several breaths and quickly realized that Ren Pingsheng had vanished—everyone had been played by him.
"Quick, show me where Ren Pingsheng is! Hurry!" Tian Xie shouted angrily at the two elderly men beside him, both of whom had attained a high level of cultivation. He was worried that Ren Pingsheng had already run far away.
"Uh..." One of the elderly men, who was at a high level of cultivation, was taken aback but immediately released his spiritual sense. He sensed a vague presence of Ren Pingsheng about six or seven miles away. For him, seven miles was the limit of his spiritual sensing range.
"Young Master, he is in this direction. I won't be able to sense him for much longer."
"Great, let's chase!" A look of joy appeared on Tian Xie's face as he turned around without hesitation.
"Young Master, aren't we going to compete for that King's Artifact?" one of the elderly men asked somewhat dissatisfied.
"That's fake; we were all deceived. I have seen the King's Artifact before, and it is indeed still with him."
"Ah, fake? What a cunning little brat." The elderly man shouted angrily. Suddenly, he pointed, "This way; he changed direction. No, his speed has increased; he's as fast as I am. I'll go after him first; Young Master, you follow behind."
He was decisive and immediately took off at full speed, closely trailing behind Ren Pingsheng. Their speeds were similar, so for the moment, he wasn't left behind.
"Ren Pingsheng, the inheritance is mine; you can't escape." He flipped his hand and surprisingly produced a flying artifact. However, considering his identity as the Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master, it wasn't surprising.
"Hmph, let's see how you run now." He and another elderly man boarded the artifact, operated by the elder with high-level cultivation, and their speed suddenly increased significantly. They quickly closed in on Ren Pingsheng, with the distance between them shrinking continuously. The True Qi of a Supreme Expert was indeed much stronger than that of Ren Pingsheng's Martial Mastery.
"Kid, I've got some bad news for you; someone is chasing you. One Martial Master and two Martial Master Realm experts," the Demon Emperor suddenly appeared and said while looking back.
"Oh, it must be the Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master. But this guy is quite clever to have noticed so quickly," Ren Pingsheng said with surprise as he opened his eyes.
"They're not slow. At this rate, you'll be caught up in no time."
"I see; then I'll go faster." He flipped his hand and exchanged three high-grade Spirit Stones for three Supreme Spirit Stones, increasing the input of True Qi significantly. The speed of the shuttle-shaped artifact increased again by a third. Their speeds were now equalized, and Tian Xie and his group couldn't catch up for the time being.
"This flying artifact must be top-notch. As long as there's enough True Qi, its speed can likely increase even more," the Demon Emperor remarked after looking around in admiration.
"What I obtained from the Sword King Tomb is certainly not an ordinary item. My injuries won't heal in less than three days. I hope there won't be any other surprises!" With that said, Ren Pingsheng closed his eyes again.
Unfortunately, wishes are beautiful while reality is cruel. In less than five minutes, Ren Pingsheng was awakened again by noise.
"What? A sect-level martial artist is chasing us? You must be sensing wrong!" He was immediately startled. This was not just those three from the Heavenly Evil Sect since they couldn't pinpoint his location and could only trail him from afar. Once his injuries healed, there would be many ways to shake them off. However, sect-level experts were terrifying; both their speed and strength were extremely formidable.
"At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, but you changed directions several times along the way, and that person kept following you. That's unusual. I'm just curious about how he discovered you. You're already four hundred miles away from the Sword King Tomb, and a sect-level expert shouldn't be able to sense you at all. Unless someone has tampered with something on you," the Demon Emperor said with a serious tone.
"Unfortunately, there are too many things on you, and it might take some time to figure it out. His speed is about twice the speed of sound, nearly a whole time faster than your flying artifact, so you should think about how to increase your speed!"
"Damn it, who could it be?" Although Ren Pingsheng was puzzled, he couldn't come up with any leads at the moment. Then he focused his mind and suddenly thought of a solution.
He quickly took out a pile of Supreme Spirit Stones and set up a Spirit Gathering Array. Once the formation started operating, it began to absorb the True Qi from outside. Ren Pingsheng sat in the center of the formation as streams of True Qi flowed into his body and then were redirected into the flying artifact.
He was outputting everything he had, leaving no time for recovery. If he didn't shake off the pursuers soon, they might catch up in just over ten minutes.
"Not enough! Break!" A pile of high-grade Spirit Stones shattered instantly, and dense True Qi gathered in the Spirit Gathering Array, surrounding Ren Pingsheng like an ocean of True Qi. The continuous influx of True Qi caused the shuttle-shaped artifact to suddenly move, its speed increasing nearly by half. However, such speed consumed an enormous amount of True Qi. If Ren Pingsheng didn't replenish it, his True Qi would be completely exhausted in no more than five minutes.
Ren Pingsheng's changes were immediately noticed by those behind him, starting with Tian Xie and his group.
"Young Master, the speed ahead has suddenly doubled; we are going to be left behind," said the elder controlling the flying artifact with a shocked expression.
"Damn it! Take turns operating at full strength; don't worry about True Qi consumption—these Supreme Spirit Stones are yours," Tian Xie gritted his teeth as a large number of Spirit Stones appeared on the flying artifact; he had also gained quite a bit in the Sword King Tomb.
"Supreme Spirit Stones! Good! In that case, we don't have to worry too much. But I wonder if this flying artifact can hold up over time," said the elder controlling it, initially pleased but then worried.
"As long as it can last a few days, I don't believe that damned guy can hold out for long." A flying artifact wasn't much for him. Under the full control of a Supreme Expert, their speed increased significantly. Although they were still slightly slower than Ren Pingsheng, they wouldn't be left behind for now.
