Chapter 467: Escaping Unscathed

Zhang Nuo sat alone atop the Yulong Hall, his expression slightly somber! In the blink of an eye, several months had passed since the capture of Hongjun Immortal Mountain, yet there was still no news of Jin Buhuan! Where on earth had that old fellow escaped to?

On Yulong Immortal Mountain, within a pavilion, Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao stood side by side. These two peerless beauties, both elegant and charming in their own distinct ways, gazed at the scenery not far away!

"How does Fairy Su have the time to come and find this junior for a leisurely sit?"

Ye Yuemiao gently brushed the dark hair at her forehead, speaking as if unintentionally!

"Hehe! Fairy Ye, there is no need to address me so formally. I am a few years your senior in age; how about we address each other as sisters from now on?"

Su Haizhen turned her pretty face and said with a faint smile.

"I have long had this intention, but the disparity in our cultivation levels is too great, so I never dared to bring it up! Since it is like this, then I shall call you Sister!"

With a blink of her spirited eyes, Ye Yuemiao was quite magnanimous and did not offer any further words of refusal!

"Sister, you didn't come to find me today just for this matter, did you?"

Su Haizhen walked to the stone chair in the pavilion and sat down. She looked at Ye Yuemiao, wanting to speak but hesitating, yet in the end, she said it!

"Since Younger Sister asks! Then I, as your elder sister, will not beat around the bush! I know Younger Sister is naturally beautiful, and when I say this, it might hurt you, but this matter must be spoken of!"

"Sister, please speak! We hit it off the moment we met, so what is there that cannot be said?"

Ye Yuemiao appeared extremely generous, though looking at Su Haizhen's bewitching, ethereal countenance, she felt a slight trance in her heart!

"Alright! It seems Younger Sister is also a straightforward person, so I will be direct: I want you to marry Zhang Nuo. Are you willing?"

Once these words were spoken, Ye Yuemiao's fair face turned crimson, and even her delicate, exquisite jade ears turned fiery red! The layer of window paper between her and Zhang Nuo had actually been thin, and now that this layer had been pierced by Su Haizhen, she suddenly did not know how to answer!

Watching Ye Yuemiao's expression, Su Haizhen guessed it instantly! It seemed there had long been mutual affection between them! It was only because she herself had met Zhang Nuo at the right time and the right place that she had gained the upper hand!

"Younger Sister, why are you not speaking? If you do not speak, then Sister will take it as your tacit consent!"

"I..."

After a long while, Ye Yuemiao finally opened her mouth, but just as the first word escaped, she was so shy that her face turned completely red! At this very moment, a loud shout from a Giant Spirit Pavilion disciple suddenly came from afar:

"Who goes there! How dare you trespass into Yulong Immortal Mountain!"

This shout traveled a long distance. The two women in the pavilion simultaneously tensed up. Who was so bold as to enter Yulong Immortal Mountain in broad daylight? Could it be the Master of the Great Underworld Mansion? However, they quickly dismissed this thought, because the Tianyuan Continent was very far from the Xianhuan Continent; even if the Master wanted to come for revenge, it would never be this fast!

Just as the two were pondering, space fluctuated around the pavilion, and a man in white clothes flashed into view. However, in the blink of an eye, the person vanished again!

"Baijiaowang!"

Ye Yuemiao exclaimed, but because the person's movement technique was too fast, she dared not be certain! In the blink of an eye, the white-robed man's figure flashed again in the distance, rushing toward the direction of Yulong Hall!

"No matter who it is, we must go and see!"

Su Haizhen's brows knit tightly. Someone trespassing into Yulong Immortal Mountain in broad daylight clearly did not hold Zhang Nuo in any regard! With a trace of stern anger, she transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the direction of Yulong Hall!

At this very moment, Zhang Nuo stood in the middle of the hall, his gaze fixed toward the entrance. Just a moment ago, a disciple had reported that a mysterious man in white had passed through the Mountain Protection Restriction with incredibly fast movement, and was currently rushing toward the hall!

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Nuo was startled, but then a faint smile appeared on his face! He told the disciples in the pavilion not to intercept him, because he had already guessed who the visitor was!

Baijiaowang! Aside from him, perhaps no one could pass through the Immortal Mountain array so easily, and at the same time, possess such super-fast movement that the disciples could not catch up. All of this, perhaps only Baijiaowang's unique Heavenly Demon Bloodline could achieve!

Just as Zhang Nuo was bowing his head in thought, space fluctuated at the entrance of the hall, and a man in white walked out. Who else could it be but Baijiaowang?

"Pavilion Master Zhang is too calm, isn't he? An uninvited guest has broken into the pavilion, and you don't even go to intercept them?"

After appearing, Baijiaowang, who was carrying a large sack in his hand, walked slowly toward Zhang Nuo!

"I had long guessed that the Flood Dragon King would grace us with his presence, it is just that Zhang has not yet prepared a welcoming ceremony!"

Zhang Nuo stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face!

"Hey! No need for a welcome! This time I have come to tell you one piece of good news and one piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Baijiaowang was not polite either; he plopped down onto a chair and tossed the large sack in his hand to the side! Zhang Nuo's expression was uncertain! Could it be some major event that would cause Baijiaowang to come and deliver the news in person?

"Zhang has always preferred to hear the bad news first!"

"The bad news? Jin Buhuan has already escaped back to the Tianyuan Continent!"

Zhang Nuo's whole body shook. He had been waiting for news of Jin Buhuan for these past few days; he wondered where Baijiaowang had obtained it?

"How does the Flood Dragon King know?"

"It was a coincidence! That day after you captured Hongjun Immortal Mountain, I was leading the demon cultivators of the Sea Flood Dragon Clan to join forces with Sui Huayuan to attack another immortal mountain. Unexpectedly, a streak of light, incredibly fast, suddenly flashed across the sky! In this King's view, that streak of light must have been a high-ranking figure from the Great Underworld Mansion! If you don't pull up the weeds by the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze! So, I temporarily set aside the matter of attacking the immortal mountain, wanting to rely on my own speed to catch up to this person!"

When Baijiaowang said this, his expression could not help but turn bitter.

"It is just a pity that even when I exerted my full speed, I still could not match the streak of light ahead! In a fit of pique, I started a contest of speed with him! I chased him all the way to the edge of the Xianhuan Continent before I saw clearly that the person in the streak of light was actually Jin Buhuan! I never expected that a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator could have such fast movement speed!"

After hearing this, Zhang Nuo was also greatly shocked. In the battle at Hongjun Immortal Mountain, Jin Buhuan had escaped using an incredibly fast streak of light, and unexpectedly, he had fled all the way to the edge of the Xianhuan Continent! Such a bizarre matter was truly inconceivable! No wonder that during this time, many disciples could not find his tracks on the continent!

"And then?"

"Then! Then I watched helplessly as he rushed into the Mist Sea. With no other choice, I returned!"

Baijiaowang sighed. Being outrun by a Golden Core Stage cultivator, his status as a descendant of the Heavenly Demon had truly lost face!

"That fellow must have used some secret technique to achieve that! Why should the Flood Dragon King take it to heart? However, Zhang still wants to thank the Flood Dragon King!"

"Forget it, you had better not thank me! It is best not to tell outsiders about this matter, otherwise, I will have no face to see anyone!"

Just as Baijiaowang's voice fell, two streaks of light suddenly rushed in from the entrance of the hall. They arrived right in front of Zhang Nuo before the light faded, revealing two beautiful young women! It was precisely Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao!

"Oh my! I didn't expect Fairy Ye to be in the Giant Spirit Pavilion as well! It has been a long time, I have missed you!"

Baijiaowang did not recognize Su Haizhen, but he did recognize Ye Yuemiao; he had once had some dealings with the Ye Family back in the day. Who would have thought that a hundred years later, the Ye Family would have completely declined on the Xianhuan Continent.

"It really is the Flood Dragon King! It seems this young lady did not recognize the wrong person just now!"

Ye Yuemiao straightened her pretty face and said unpleasantly! Baijiaowang ignored her and looked toward Su Haizhen again.

"And this is..."

"She is Zhang's wife! Her surname is Su, and her given name is Haizhen!"

Zhang Nuo explained.

"So it is Fairy Su! I have long heard of you! It is truly a lack of respect!"

As he spoke, Baijiaowang actually stood up and cupped his hands toward Su Haizhen! If it were someone else, he might not have done this, but the entire Su Family was not to be underestimated!

"Flood Dragon King, what is the good news you mentioned?"

After they had greeted one another, Zhang Nuo asked about another matter!

"Good news! Heh heh! How should I put it? I don't even know if it can count as good news! After I gave up on Jin Buhuan and was just about to turn back, I suddenly discovered him!"

Baijiaowang pointed a hand at the large sack on the ground and said. Zhang Nuo and the others immediately cast their gazes onto that sack, only to see that the inside of the sack was still wriggling incessantly; it actually contained a person!

"Who is he?"

"Why don't you take a look for yourself and find out!"

Baijiaowang gave a light flick with one hand, and the rope binding the mouth of the sack opened on its own. A person then crawled out from inside, and it was none other than Wei Shang!

Zhang Nuo frowned slightly. Ever since the attack on Yulong Immortal Mountain, Wei Shang had seemed to vanish into thin air. How could he have fallen into the hands of Baijiaowang?

At this moment, Wei Shang's body seemed to have been placed under a Restriction; he could not speak or move, and was only glaring fiercely at Baijiaowang!

"When I first encountered him, this fellow was gathering men, wanting to destroy the outpost the Giant Spirit Pavilion had set up on the edge of the Xianhuan Continent! So I didn't return empty-handed and brought him directly to see you! How you dispose of him is none of my concern!"

Baijiaowang spoke extremely casually, but Zhang Nuo knew in his heart that if the outpost on the edge of the continent were destroyed, the losses for the Giant Spirit Pavilion would be immense!

"Many thanks, Flood Dragon King! I, Zhang, will certainly repay this kindness in the future!"

"Forget it! What kindness or no kindness? You allowed my Sea Flood Dragon Clan to obtain another half of an Immortal Mountain; that is better than anything! I leave the person to you. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer!"

As he spoke, without even seeing how Baijiaowang moved his body, he flashed and vanished into the void! The three of them, Zhang Nuo included, looked at one another; this spatial technique of Baijiaowang was truly too terrifying—he had left without a sound or a trace!
