Chapter 894: Chapter 470: Black Tortoise Demon Blood (7k1)
“Nonsense!”
Just as Ji Xuanzhen’s face turned extremely ashen, Wan Qingxuan, who was beside him, finally spoke in a low voice, rebuking Zhao Lie, and then pulled Ji Xuanzhen beside her, immediately fleeing towards Western Heavenly Pass, while saying:
“Your Highness, hurry and leave, don’t listen to his absurd talk!”
Although she partly believed Zhao Lie’s words in her heart, staying here now would only mean waiting for death. A forceful escape might hold a glimmer of hope, which she absolutely could not abandon.
Ji Xuanzhen’s face was already somewhat bleak, but hearing Wan Qingxuan’s words, he still forcefully mustered a bit of spirit, bypassing Zhao Lie with her, and fled all the way beyond Western Heavenly Pass.
Zhao Lie did not pursue.
He simply watched Ji Xuanzhen and Wan Qingxuan flee, standing with his hands behind his back at the same spot, shaking his head and sighing.
The idea of them escaping was undoubtedly a fool’s dream; now, who does not know the old grudge between Chen Mu and King Liang Ji Xuanzhen? Once Ji Xuanzhen escapes Capital City, if Chen Mu becomes furious over this and sweeps across the world, unimaginable trouble would arise.
Before Chen Mu swept through Capital City, almost everyone considered whether to assist the Imperial Court to stop Chen Mu and how to stop him. But after Chen Mu flattened Jade Capital and Imperial City, all thoughts dissipated.
What remained was how not to incur Chen Mu’s wrath, how to ensure one’s own safety.
Swish! Swish!
Ji Xuanzhen and Wan Qingxuan fled extremely swiftly; after all, both were top Grandmasters. At this moment, their movement technique unfolded; no ordinary civilian could see their figures. In an instant, they had reached Western Heavenly Pass.
Western Heavenly Pass was wide open, and above the pass, formation light faintly swirled. Ordinary people couldn’t force their way through, as it would trigger the formation and be stopped. However, Ji Xuanzhen was already prepared; he flicked his hand and took out an Order Token.
“Go.”
Ji Xuanzhen whispered, and without stopping, headed straight for the portal of Western Heavenly Pass with Wan Qingxuan. Simultaneously, the Order Token in his hand quietly activated, instantly touching the almost imperceptible formation light screen above Western Heavenly Pass.
Instantly, the formation light screen did not ripple, allowing Ji Xuanzhen and Wan Qingxuan to pass silently, without causing any disturbance.
“We’re out!”
Ji Xuanzhen’s spirit lifted as he and Wan Qingxuan stepped outside the Pass. He was most worried about Zhao Lie and others blocking them; facing a Blood Exchange Expert, even with some trump cards, he had no assurance of escaping.
Even if he could truly get past, it would inevitably cause a commotion, making it equally difficult to escape.
“Go.”
Wan Qingxuan’s eyes also flickered, without hesitation, she spoke softly, intending to flee with Ji Xuanzhen, far from Jade Capital.
However.
Almost at the instant the two were hastening forward, their steps almost simultaneously froze, barely sliding ten feet forward, then both halted on the ground.
A hint of astonishment appeared in Wan Qingxuan’s eyes; her figure solidified in place, and a clear blood line appeared on her neck, circling her slender neck.
“Qingxuan!”
Ji Xuanzhen looked at Wan Qingxuan, his pupils contracted violently, uttering a hoarse cry.
Wan Qingxuan instinctively raised her hand toward Ji Xuanzhen, but just as she made a slight motion, her delicate and beautiful face slowly slid forward, her entire head silently falling from her neck, the cross-section uniformly smooth.
The head that dropped on the ground, its eyes rapidly dimmed.
Then.
A complaining voice came from the adjacent void.
“Old Wu, you’re too heavy-handed, how could you kill them? What if it displeases him?”
“A woman, not important.”
Another somewhat deep voice replied indifferently.
“Who says so, what if he has some unique interest and wants to toy with the Princess Consort in front of him…”
“Silence! Dare to speak ill of him behind his back, if you want to die, don’t drag me into it!”
Several voices either joking or reprimanding came over.
When Ji Xuanzhen raised his head to look ahead with those bloodshot eyes, he saw that in the void, numerous figures appeared from nowhere. Some dressed simply, some luxuriously, some were old, some young, with various appearances, but the one commonality was the thick and profound aura emanating from them.
Blood Exchange Realm!
All were experts of Blood Exchange Realm!
These individuals were all Supreme figures from various sects, all formidable experts across the world, yet now they were gathered outside Western Heavenly Pass merely to stop him and Wan Qingxuan from escaping, merely to curry favor with Chen Mu, this treasonous and rebellious villain!
Among them, one figure stood not far away, holding a simple long sword slightly unsheathed by an inch, only exposing a bit of cold gleaming light, yet still imparting an unparalleled sharp feeling, it seemed he was the one who struck earlier.
Wan Qingxuan, a top Grandmaster, naturally had no power to resist against a genuine Blood Exchange Realm figure.
“You all…”
Ji Xuanzhen’s eyes were filled with blood, almost grinding his teeth.
Once upon a time, he was the supreme King Liang, and any Supreme Blood Exchange experts had to be courteous in front of him. The sects in Central Prefecture dared not ignore his authority.
But now.
These people were talking and laughing self-indulgently before him, in their chatter leading to the death of his Princess Consort Wan Qingxuan.
Beside the anger, facing numerous Supreme Blood Exchange figures, Ji Xuanzhen could do nothing; he was merely a top Grandmaster, his many supporting Blood Exchange experts had died before Golden Luang Hall, and those around him were even more scattered, with no one willing to fight for him, though holding the King Liang’s title, now it was but a death warrant.
