Chapter 795: Chapter 421 Great Void Skill_2 "How can this be? The Mother Qi of All Things is crucial to you." Ji Ziyue refused outright. "Now’s not the time to argue about this; escaping is what truly matters." Gu Sheng shook his head and said. Ji Ziyue knew Gu Sheng was making sense. She nodded and prepared to accept the Mother Qi of All Things from Gu Sheng. Soon after, Gu Sheng transferred the Mother Qi of All Things to Ji Ziyue within the Void. In that instant, Ji Ziyue felt a warm yet powerful force surge into her body, also boosting the power of the Great Void Skill. Simultaneously, Ji Ziyue taught the essentials of the Great Void Skill to Gu Sheng. "Gu Sheng, this is a secret technique of my Ji family. I’m passing it on to you now. If something happens, you can at least protect yourself or escape." Ji Ziyue’s face showed unwavering determination. The two exchanged their secret weapons in the Void just like that. Three hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the figures of Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng began to emerge within the Void. "Big brother! They’re over here!" One of the cultivators reported. The leading middle-aged cultivator had already grown impatient. His eyes flickered coldly, and the steel knife in his hand drew a shimmering arc in the Void, pointing straight at Gu Sheng. "Damn it, letting me wait until I’m starving! Truly unforgivable!" The middle-aged cultivator said coldly as he prepared to make his move. At that moment, Ji Ziyue once again used the Great Void Skill. Her and Gu Sheng’s figures flickered before everyone’s eyes and vanished again. The cultivators felt their vision blur as Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng disappeared once again. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖 This second disappearance completely broke the five cultivators. "How is this even possible?!" The middle-aged cultivator roared, his voice echoing across the expansive terrain. Suddenly, darkness blanketed the sky, sand and rocks flying everywhere, as though the apocalypse had arrived. "B-Big brother... What kind of cultivation technique is that? So powerful!" "Yeah, one roar nearly shattered the heavens..." "Big brother, teach us! We want to improve too; we want to stun the heavens with a single shout!" The leader’s subordinates instantly became fanboys, showering their boss with flattery while enjoying the faint scent of sycophancy in the air. "Shut up! This isn’t my power! There must be a powerful figure nearby." The leading middle-aged cultivator shouted exhortations, his face filled with terror. The other cultivators froze upon hearing this. So all that world-shaking commotion had nothing to do with their boss, and that roar had just hit the right spot. Everyone fell silent, observing the changing surroundings. As the dust settled, they looked closely at the scene before them. Only to find that the Peacock King and Nangong Zheng had somehow returned. The Peacock King wore a cold smile, while Nangong Zheng’s face was solemn. "Oh no... Two live King Yan! Run!" The leading middle-aged cultivator’s eyes widened as he turned and tried to flee. "Trying to leave? It’s not that easy!" The Peacock King’s voice was like icy frost on a bitter winter day, sending shivers down spines. As the Peacock King’s words fell, he casually waved his hand, creating an invisible barrier to block their escape. "You’re seeking your own death." The Peacock King’s voice was devoid of any emotion. His gaze swept over the middle-aged cultivator and his group, as if he were staring at a bunch of ants. The middle-aged cultivator felt an unprecedented fear. He knew that they were no match for the Peacock King, even less so with Nangong Zheng beside him. "Peacock King, we’re sorry, we didn’t do it on purpose." The middle-aged cultivator tried negotiating with the Peacock King, hoping for a slim chance at survival. "Heh..." The Peacock King sneered, offering no reply. Turning to Nangong Zheng, he coldly asked, "What are you doing back here?" "I came to protect Ziyue. Why are you back?" Nangong Zheng retorted. "Me? The Great Emperor’s heart may not have been within my reach, but Gu Sheng is an esteemed guest of my Demon Clan. I won’t stand idly by while he’s in danger." The Peacock King replied in an equally frosty tone. Hearing this, the cultivators froze momentarily. Turns out the two powerful figures may not like each other, but the ones they’re protecting were aligned. And now, they and their group dared attack those being protected by such powerful figures—it was equal to declaring war on them. In the Void, Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue overheard their conversation clearly. "Gu Sheng, while they’re caught up in this, we need to retreat quickly. Otherwise, things will only get even more troublesome." Ji Ziyue whispered to Gu Sheng. "Mm." Gu Sheng nodded. At that moment, outside the Void, the leading cultivator fell to his knees with a thud. "Mighty ones, please spare us insignificant bugs. We admit our wrongs." "Yes, we beg you to show mercy and grant us a second chance." "We beseech you... ancestors..." The cultivators began kowtowing furiously without hesitation. Taking advantage of this gap, Gu Sheng barely managed to channel his Divine Power. Using the Heavenly Gang Seven Star Steps taught by the old madman, he swiftly fled hundreds of miles away. ... "This won’t do; we’re still too close. We need to move farther." Dozens of miles away, as Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue steadied themselves, Ji Ziyue spoke again to remind him. "Mm." Gu Sheng nodded. Gu Sheng had just prepared to rally his Divine Power when his heart suddenly tightened. He felt multiple waves of overpowering Divine Power rapidly moving towards them. Some were stronger, some weaker, but all carried an imposing sharpness. In a daze, Gu Sheng raised his gaze. Several groups of cultivators had already appeared within their sights. "Not good, they’ve come for the secret of the Bronze Immortal Palace." Gu Sheng whispered to Ji Ziyue. Ji Ziyue’s expression grew grim—they had to escape quickly to survive. "It’s them! Finally found them!" "Haha... So here they are!" "Charge! Capture them alive!" Several cultivators arrogantly exclaimed as they surged forward. By this time, Gu Sheng’s body was exhausted and weakened from previous injuries. Even channeling all his Divine Power couldn’t break free from their pursuit. At this critical moment, Ji Ziyue decisively brought out her family’s heirloom secret treasure—a faintly glowing ring. This Jade Pendant was a treasure passed down in the Ji family, possessing immense spatial power. "Gu Sheng, quick, take this. We can use it to escape." Ji Ziyue urged anxiously. Gu Sheng nodded and immediately put the ring on his injured hand. Instantly, the ring seemed partially activated. A powerful spatial ripple emanated from the ring, forming a small teleportation array. "Go!" Ji Ziyue grabbed Gu Sheng, and their figures flickered within the teleportation array, disappearing in a flash in the opposite direction. When the cultivators arrived, all they caught was a glimpse of light. Meanwhile, Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue had already disappeared, reappearing a hundred miles away. Despite their furious search, the cultivators saw no sign of the two. "Damn it, they escaped!" One cultivator angrily punched the ground. "They can’t have gone far; let’s split up and chase them." Another suggested. The cultivators quickly spread out and started scouring the area around them for traces of Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue. Little did they know that Ji Ziyue’s heirloom Jade Pendant had teleportation abilities far beyond their imagination. Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue, helped by the teleportation array, were already far from the sights of these pursuers. They now found themselves in a desolate valley. Surrounding the valley were towering peaks, with only a single trail winding its way out. "It should be safe here." Ji Ziyue exhaled a sigh of relief, her body exhausted from the long escape. Gu Sheng supported her, and the two exchanged a smile. "Next, we need to find a place to properly recover." Gu Sheng nodded and then asked, "How are you doing? Does the wound from the Peacock King still hurt?" "I’m okay, it’s fine." Gu Sheng chuckled and raised the hand wearing the ring. "Gotta say, this ring of yours is pretty amazing. Why not just give it to me already?" "Ha, sure, once you stop acting like a greedy miser every time you see treasure!" Ji Ziyue rolled her eyes at Gu Sheng.
