2486 Could It Be Because the Earth Is Round?
Yuan Zi’s body was extremely useful.
During its use, it was crucial to keep Yuan Zi away from Tyrannical Song’s pendant fairy, avoiding any unforeseen incidents.
Now, with the considerable distance from Tyrannical Song, there were no more concerns.
“Come quickly, protect me!” King Kun urgently commanded Yuan Zi’s body.
In truth, the command was redundant. The sliver of King Kun’s consciousness inhabiting Yuan Zi’s body had already sprung into action.
“Friends in the sea are as close as neighbors across the world!” A voice echoed from Yuan Zi’s body, originating not from his mouth but from a sound wave within his body, as if he had his own background music.
Yuan Zi, ever nonchalant, retained his easygoing demeanor even in a vegetative state.
However, the poetry emanating from him wasn’t a sign of Yuan Zi’s consciousness returning, but rather the casting of a spell.
In the next instant, Yuan Zi’s body instinctively activated the scholarly faction’s top movement technique, World’s End Is Near by.
This technique was the ultimate evolution of Song Shuhang’s Virtuous Man’s Ten Thousand Mile Walk.
Bolstered by the scholarly faction’s Heaven’s End Is Near, Yuan Zi’s body burst forth, astonishingly outpacing the White Dragon Fairy, and made his way to King Kun’s egg!
“Eh? Yuan Zi’s body? Looks like Song Shuhang was right on the mark,” White Dragon mused, her small claws moving cautiously as she observed Yuan Zi.
Clearly, King Kun had utilized some secret method to control Yuan Zi’s body—a detail not detected by her or Pavilion Master Chu until now.
It was unclear if Senior White had seen through King Kun’s stealthy approach.
“With Yuan Zi’s body involved, capturing King Kun just got tougher,” White Dragon remarked, somewhat regretfully.
She wasn’t in her true form, but rather a manifestation formed by Su Clan’s Sixteen’s virtue. Her combat strength had limits, and she couldn’t unleash the full might of the ancestral golden dragon.
‘I’ll need Song Shuhang to bring Pavilion Master Chu’s hair here, and if possible, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet too. Once I team up with that hair and leverage Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet’s suppressive power, capturing King Kun should be feasible.’ White Dragon thought to herself, her little claws maneuvering to maintain a distance from both King Kun and Yuan Zi. Simultaneously, she opened the cultivation chat function and sent a private message to Song Shuhang with her request.
Ahead, Yuan Zi extended his hands and embraced King Kun’s little egg.
“Let’s move, quickly! Let’s increase the distance between us and the White Dragon Fairy. Then, I’ll deploy my spatial abilities to escape,” King Kun urged impatiently.
It could call for assistance, and so could the White Dragon Fairy tailing them!
If Tyrannical Song arrived now, King Kun would have no chance of fleeing.
What troubled King Kun more was the Tyrannical Song clone on Mars, which seemed to have sensed something. Its consciousness was once again projected from Mars, sweeping over the area.
Escape was imperative. King Kun needed to flee the spatial lockdown and leave this plane immediately!
Amidst King Kun’s urgent commands, Yuan Zi’s body surged with spiritual energy, and the Heaven’s End Near Home technique was pushed to its limits!
Poetry faintly echoed from Yuan Zi’s body, enhancing his already carefree aura, making his movement even swifter.
On Yuan Zi, handsomeness and practicality were perfectly fused.
With Yuan Zi’s unreserved use of World’s End Is Near by, the distance between King Kun and the White Dragon began to grow incrementally.
If this continued, Yuan Zi and King Kun would escape the White Dragon’s spatial lockdown!
“Shuhang, tell Chu’s hair to speed it up. Teleport to the edge of my spatial lockdown and join me. Don’t let this egg escape,” White Dragon urged.
“Pavilion Master Chu is recharging her hair right now. White Dragon, hang in there a bit longer! Also, coordinate with Pavilion Master Chu. She’s trying to lock onto your location,” Song Shuhang quickly responded.
Earlier, when executing the Karma Saber Technique with Song Shuhang, Pavilion Master Chu’s hair had been completely depleted. Hence, recharging was necessary before she could support White Dragon.
“Hurry, Yuan Zi’s unrestrained use of World’s End Is Near by will leave me behind. And the further I am from Little Sixteen, the more disadvantageous it is for me,” White Dragon replied.
Pavilion Master Chu’s hair spoke up, “Golden Dragon Scarf, I’ve locked onto your coordinates. Get ready for the merge.”
White Dragon responded, “Stop the chatter and come over.”
“Eh? Wait a minute… Your position,” Pavilion Master Chu suddenly interjected, puzzled.
“What now?” An irritated White Dragon, seeing King Kun and Yuan Zi nearly vanishing from sight, was met with Chu’s hesitation.
“You seem to be heading towards the scholarly faction? Yes, you’re returning to where you started,” Pavilion Master Chu observed.
The White Dragon was confused.
Returning to the scholarly faction?
She looked ahead. Yuan Zi, clutching King Kun’s egg tightly, was surrounded by the echoing sound of poetry. The Heaven’s End Is Next Door technique was in full swing and created a haze of white fog around him.
“Maybe it’s because the Earth is round? Big Sister White Dragon, you’ve circled back to your starting point?” Song Shuhang speculated.
The White Dragon replied, “Don’t joke around. King Kun wouldn’t make such a basic mistake.”
“You’re here. I see you guys,” Pavilion Master Chu suddenly announced.
Song Shuhang quickly looked up.
In the next instant, he saw two bolts of lightning in the sky heading towards the scholarly faction.
The leading bolt was Yuan Zi, holding King Kun’s egg.
The one trailing was the relentless White Dragon.
They had indeed circled back.
Consequently, Song Shuhang adjusted his posture, sitting firmly in the virtuous lamia’s palm.
Simultaneously, King Kun’s egg in the air also ‘saw’ Song Shuhang!
Though lacking eyes on its shell, King Kun’s gaze met Song Shuhang’s!
“Turn around, turn around now!” King Kun’s egg internally screamed.
Its focus had been on the White Dragon Fairy behind and the ‘Mars Tyrannical Song clone’s’ distant, scanning consciousness.
Its sole command to Yuan Zi was to flee desperately to escape the White Dragon Fairy’s ‘spatial lockdown’ as swiftly as possible.
Never had it anticipated returning to the scholarly faction in its flight!
This was insanity!
A death wish!
King Kun frantically commanded Yuan Zi.
But at that moment, it realized its commands to ‘Yuan Zi’ were like a stone sunk in the ocean.
The consciousness it left in Yuan Zi’s body was also desperately sending signals and commands… to no avail.
Yuan Zi, holding King Kun’s egg, was resolute. Executing the Heaven’s End Is Near Home technique with a stylish, handsome 90-degree drift, he landed before Song Shuhang.
To be precise, in front of Fairy Creation, behind Tyrannical Song.
Amid King Kun’s despair, deep as a bottomless abyss, Yuan Zi handed the egg to Fairy Creation.
At that moment, Yuan Zi resembled a caring big brother, joyously presenting a found toy to his sister.
