Chapter 48

In fact, even if Zhu Zhu Gaoyang came, Seeing Pei Ye couldn't think of what he could do.

At the time, he was one against three in perfect condition; although he killed one, he still barely escaped with his life; now, seriously injured, although there was one less opponent, there was one more beast; how could he deal with it?

Seeing Pei Ye sighed secretly and withdrew his gaze from the horizon.

But in the process of withdrawing, he suddenly paused—he didn't see Zhu Zhu Gaoyang, but he discovered the posture of the two purple-robed people.

They seemed to be vigilant against the outside of the valley too.

Seeing Pei Ye's heart sank; what did that mean? Did they also know Zhu Zhu Gaoyang was coming?

At this final step, the "ultimate weapon" that the Candle World Sect had plotted for who knows how long was about to be born; it was normal to be vigilant. But their vigilance was too obvious, as if they clearly knew that at this very moment, in this very place, someone was coming to stir up trouble.

Zhang Zhang Siche didn't just tell me... wait, sound transmission!

Seeing Pei Ye's thinking stopped here.

Can a top Master intercept sound transmission?

Were those sound transmissions Zhang Zhang Siche made in the stone cave all heard?

Seeing Pei Ye's heart sank completely.

At this moment, a sound transmission rang in his ears: "Activate it quickly! What you have in your hand is not a defense talisman, but a teleportation talisman!"

Damn it, still transmitting!

Seeing Pei Ye's heart stopped; verifying his guess was that the moment this was transmitted into his ears, the two purple-robed people turned their heads abruptly, their gazes pressing onto him.

The next moment, they were already before him.

His hair stood on end; Seeing Pei Ye had no time to think carefully and immediately injected True Qi to activate the iron talisman.

Seeing Pei Ye felt a sudden silence by his ears.

The surrounding air seemed to be emptied in an instant, and Seeing Pei Ye even felt a trace of suffocation.

It was as if a water strider was floating on a calm little puddle, when suddenly a basin of water was poured over its head.

Seeing Pei Ye, who was at the center, was this water strider.

Upside down, stormy, Seeing Pei Ye was flipped to the ground in an instant, and the two purple-robed people also drifted away suddenly, like two pieces of purple cloth blown away by a violent wind.

Violent, huge, and dense sword Qi erupted with him as the center, stirring the entire field into pieces in an instant.

Seeing Pei Ye's first thought was: So this is how mountains are dismantled.

His second thought was: Bullshit defense talisman! Bullshit teleportation talisman!!

It turns out I'm the one playing Zhu Zhu Gaoyang!

Then where is the real Zhu Zhu Gaoyang?

When Seeing Pei Ye raised this thought, the Mystic Qi on Zhang Zhang Siche's side condensed like clouds.

These clouds were drawn into fine threads, and these fine threads swirled together, like a lantern made of silk, wrapping him inside.

"Spiritual Brightness Illuminating the World, Floating Dust Without Restraint."

A clear and elegant voice sounded; Zhang Zhang Siche formed a seal with one palm, like a heavenly being descending to the world, his posture stretched, his face solemn.

Everything was answered at this moment; he had attracted everyone's attention, while the playing-dead him had gained the opportunity to cast the spell.

Zhu Zhu Gaoyang!

Zhu Zhu Gaoyang!

He didn't fail to take Zhang Zhang Siche away at the time, but had turned into his appearance and stayed here!

Regardless of what Seeing Pei Ye was thinking at this moment, Zhu Zhu Gaoyang had already set his target.

His next step was Qiongqi.

The most core thing of the Candle World Sect had never been the light cocoon; even if this final winner was piled up by hundreds of lives over fifty years, it was the same.

Nutrients and incubation places could always be replaced or made do with; only the seed was unique.

Zhu Zhu Gaoyang did not seek to kill it here; this was fundamentally impossible; he was going to take Qiongqi away with a divine spell and then kill it at his leisure.

At the time, he told Seeing Pei Ye in the stone cave that the preparation time was not enough and he might not have time to take a third person, which was indeed the truth.

It was just that the one ranked before Seeing Pei Ye was not "Zhang Zhang Siche," but Qiongqi.

So he was neither pitting nor not pitting Seeing Pei Ye; although he did use Seeing Pei Ye to attract attention, if Seeing Pei Ye had really taken this opportunity to escape, the focus of the Candle World Sect's pursuit would definitely be Zhu Zhu Gaoyang, who took Qiongqi away, rather than Seeing Pei Ye.

At least the two purple-robed people would not participate in it.

At this moment, attracted by Seeing Pei Ye and forced back by the sword Qi, the purple-robed people were too late to reinforce Qiongqi; Zhu Zhu Gaoyang had already stepped before Qiongqi and grabbed its mane, intending to take it away.

At this moment, Zhu Zhu Gaoyang fully displayed the oppressive power of a Crane Ranking Master; Qiongqi was not completely without the ability to resist, but it was absolutely impossible to dodge the touch of his hand.

And once taken away and entering a one-on-one situation, Zhu Zhu Gaoyang's absolute strength was a notch higher than Qiongqi's.

Qiongqi's tiger eyes widened; at this critical moment, it actually opened its mouth wide and spat out a brilliant, bead-like object; this object stretched into a beam of light and headed straight for Seeing Pei Ye's abdomen.

Zhu Zhu Gaoyang reacted extremely quickly, immediately turning a sharp angle to chase.

And Seeing Pei Ye had no time to react at all; the bead-like object, which seemed like flesh and iron, hit his abdomen, and then his abdomen hurt; the light cocoon in his abdomen had already impatiently cut open his stomach to welcome it in.

Seeing Pei Ye just gritted his teeth and lowered his head to look; the two dark blue tentacles on his stomach were still swinging outside; ahead, the wind was already tightening; he raised his head, and Zhu Zhu Gaoyang's tall body was already standing before him.

Zhu Zhu Gaoyang's original intention was to attract the purple-robed people to Seeing Pei Ye's vicinity so that Qiongqi would be temporarily unsupported, making it convenient for him to take it away.

But the situation changed suddenly; the seed and the light cocoon merged in Seeing Pei Ye's body; at this time, he had to take Seeing Pei Ye away instead, and had to take the initiative to expose his back to the two purple-robed people.

A heavy palm print landed on his spine; he spat out a large mouthful of bright red blood, and at the same time, a sword tip swirling with Mystic Qi pierced through his chest.

But the next moment, his powerful hand had already rested on Seeing Pei Ye's shoulder, the Mystic Qi dissipated like fireworks, and the two disappeared together.

The Xin Cang mountain range had towering peaks, like pillars reaching the sky.

The sky was a gradient: the furthest point in the east was a mass of white, the outer layer connected to a piece of dim blue, and further out it deepened into a gray, then deepened into a black curtain.

People who boast about the height and steepness of mountains always love to use descriptions like piercing the blue sky and overlooking the clouds, but they would never use mountain peaks to compare when boasting about the high sky.

Because it is truly higher than all mountains.

This cannot be blamed on humans, because limited by their field of vision, describers often look up from the bottom at these pillars that seem to reach the clouds.

People cannot stand from the perspective of the high sky and look down at these little mounds of dirt; the high sky naturally forgives this kind of presumption against itself when smaller things praise smaller things.

And when Seeing Pei Ye was in this divine spell, it seemed he experienced the perspective of the high sky for a moment.

Mountains and ravines, these natural moats that were heaven to mortals, were crossed in one step, like mud balls.

But this high and distant experience lasted only for a moment; the next moment, dense branches and leaves slapped against his body, a dizzying spin, friction sounds, branches breaking and leaves falling, and the sounds of night birds being startled and flying away rose in chaos.

Then his spine hit something fiercely; Seeing Pei Ye realized he had fallen to the ground, but immediately after, there was another near-vertical slope, and he slid underground in a dark, confused state.

Seeing Pei Ye didn't know if there was a ten-foot dirt slope or a hundred-foot deep cliff below; he grabbed around for support, feeling anxious at the same time—I can't adjust, but why didn't you, Zhu Zhu Gaoyang, a Master, pull me?

Then he grabbed a limp arm.
