Chapter 72: Accompanying Fei on a Journey!

  "It's a spatial rift!" Hong Kexin swallowed hard, her face suddenly changing color. She turned to Xiao Yun with a tense expression and said, "This is bad! The space here is unstable, we have to leave quickly!"

  "I'm hurt and can't move!"

  Xiao Yun heard this and also had a terrified expression, struggling to get up, but was unable to do so.

  As soon as Xiao Yun's voice fell, Hong Kexin put away the big yellow bell and took two steps to reach Xiao Yun's face, grabbed Xiao Yun's neck, lifted him up and carried him on his shoulder, and ran off immediately.

  Although he had gained some weight, his speed was in no way slower, and with a burst of smoke, he darted out of the valley.

  ——

  "Miss Hong, thank you for saving my life!"

  A small forest outside the village, Hong Ke Xin put Xiao Yun down, Xiao Yun leaned against the trunk of a large tree, raised his head and thanked Hong Ke Xin gratefully. If it wasn't for Hong Ke Xin's timely appearance, he would have been dead by now.

  "My dad told me that if any of the Tianyin Sect's fellow disciples are in trouble, I should try to help them out. Since I've run into you, I'll naturally take care of it!" Hong Kexin shook her head and walked up to Xiao Yun, "You seem to be injured pretty badly!"

  "A little internal injury, it's nothing serious, just rest for a while and you'll be fine." Xiao Yun shook his head, the recent turmoil had worsened his injuries, his face was even paler, he quickly took out a green porcelain bottle from his storage bag, which was the life-saving medicine left by Mu Tian'en.

  He took out a Blood Coagulation Pill from the bottle, swallowed it with blood water, and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, quietly healing his internal injuries.

  In a short while, a warm and medicinal energy rose from his abdomen, flowing through the meridians to his limbs and bones, constantly nourishing Xiao Yun's injured body. After more than ten minutes, Xiao Yun's breathing became much more stable, and his pale face gradually turned rosy.

  ——

  "Ah!"

  It's unknown how long it took, but the sky was already brightening up. The wound had almost fully recovered. As he opened his eyes, a chubby face was staring curiously at him from less than a foot away. Xiao Yun subconsciously leaned back and hit the back of his head on the tree trunk behind him, gritting his teeth in pain.

  Hong Ke Xin saw this and smiled, "Are you okay now?"

  The sound is very pleasant.

  Xiao Yun nodded slightly, "Nothing serious."

  Hong Kexin walked over and sat down beside Xiao Yun, "Why did that Lu Jianfeng want to kill you?"

  A huge tonnage, Xiao Yun's butt moved to the side, Xiao Yun helplessly shrugged and bitterly laughed, "I don't know either, maybe he took the wrong medicine!"

  "After all, I saved you, yet you're still being evasive?" Hong Ke Xin heard this and immediately became displeased. "Then what he said about you killing his junior brother, is it true?"

  Xiao Yun nodded slightly.

  "Really killed by you?" Hong Kexin was surprised when she heard this, originally she thought that Lu Jianfeng was just talking nonsense, but she didn't expect it to be true.

  Xiao Yun Dao said, "They chased and killed me all the way. If I didn't kill him, it would be me who died."

  "Why didn't you say so earlier?" Hong Kexin said.

  Xiao Yun Dao said, "At that time, if I had admitted to killing someone, would you still have saved me?"

  "Huh?"

  Hong Kexin was tongue-tied, thinking back to the situation at that time. She and both parties were not familiar with each other. When she saw Lu Jianfeng wanting to kill Xiao Yun, she subconsciously stood on the weaker side. As for what was right or wrong, she wasn't clear either. If Xiao Yun had admitted to killing someone at the time, she wouldn't have let Lu Jianfeng kill Xiao Yun, but she would still have hesitated somewhat.

  "You're quite shrewd!"

  Hong Kexin gave Xiao Yun a strange look, with some hidden guard, after all this was only the second time they met. She didn't understand whether Xiao Yun was good or evil, and in the Holy Realm, people's hearts were hard to measure. Before entering the Holy Realm, Hong Jiutong had already warned her about this.

  Xiao Yun shook his head and didn't say much. In the world of rivers and lakes, who doesn't have some city walls? Being too straightforward would only shorten one's lifespan. He was just trying to survive after all.

  "Never mind, that person is already dead anyway. Whatever you say won't make a difference. You're the reason he died. After leaving here, go and explain yourself to your sect's elders!" Hong Kexin said.

  "Is he really dead?" Xiao Yun was somewhat uncertain, it was his first time encountering a space rift, the feeling it gave him could only be described as terrifying.

  Hong Kexin said, "That's a spatial rift, the tearing force inside is enormous, you can't even imagine it. Even if he's a top-notch cultivator, encountering a spatial rift without a powerful treasure to protect him would be a dead end. Do you think he has any chance of survival?"

  "He's really unlucky!"

  Xiao Yun shook his head, Lu Jianfeng was dead, but he couldn't feel happy about it. This experience had only intensified his desire for great power. Only by becoming a true strongman could he not fear any threats.

  "Ah!"

  His injuries had almost recovered, and with a loud whoosh of air, Xiao Yun slowly exhaled and propped himself up to stand.

  "Where are you going?" Hong Kexin asked hurriedly.

  "I don't know!"

  Originally couldn't tell directions, was chased to death last night, now even more don't know where ran to, Xiao Yun shook head, turned to ask Hong Ke Xin, "Do you know what place this is?"

  Hong Kexin is a disciple of Zhong Wanggong and also the daughter of Hong Jiutong, so she should have the sacred map too. Lu Jianfeng's death made him not dare to venture out like before. If he encounters a demon beast, there might be a chance to escape, but if he accidentally runs into a space crack, he will definitely die.

  However, Angelina Lo shook her head, "I don't know either."

  "You don't have a map?" Xiao Yun was somewhat surprised.

  Hong Kexin smiled awkwardly, "Last night we were attacked by a fourth-level demon beast, I and my senior brothers got separated, at that time busy escaping for our lives, I also don't know where I ran to."

  "Fourth-tier demonic beast?"

  Xiao Yun was taken aback for a moment, that was already comparable to the realm of music masters, some with extraordinary talents were even stronger, it seemed that there were still many powerful demon beasts in this sacred place.

  Hong Ke Xin nodded, "It's a Demon Wolf King, has already reached the level of a 4th rank demon beast, can fly in the air, is very powerful, and also brought a group of 2nd and 3rd rank demon wolves. We almost didn't make it out, really didn't think that this sacred place would have such a powerful demon beast."

  Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "Yesterday, I saw a demon beast that was at least sixth-grade."

  "What?"

  Hong Ke Xin's face was full of surprise, almost everyone thought they had misheard, a sixth-grade demon beast, that was almost an existence that could transform, if Xiao Yun encountered it, how could he possibly survive?

  Xiao Yun Dao said, "That was a large eagle, just like a dark cloud flying over my head. Perhaps I'm too weak, it didn't even glance at me."

  Hong Kexin, like Xiao Yun, had thought that the Holy Trace Array would suppress the demonic beasts here, making them not too powerful. However, reality overturned her understanding. After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Hong Kexin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "If the Holy Trace Array only suppresses us outsiders, then doesn't that mean there will be even more powerful existences here?"

  "It's not impossible, sacred relics have existed for countless years, and who knows how many powerful beings are hidden within?" said Xiao Yun Dao.

  Hong Keyi didn't say a word, her chubby face was filled with worry.

  Xiao Yun Dao said, "There's no need to worry so much. In fact, for us, lower-level demon beasts are more threatening than higher-level ones. Higher-level demon beasts have great spiritual intelligence and some have even transformed into demons. If we encounter them, perhaps they will spare our lives if we reason with them. Besides, we only have a 15-day limit to enter this place, so let's just be careful."

  Hong Ke Xin heard this and also felt that Xiao Yun was right, her heart calmed down a lot. "Then where are we going now?"

  "Us?" Xiao Yun was taken aback, "You want to follow me all the way?"

  Hong Ke Xin rolled her eyes at Xiao Yun, "What did you think? Now that we're both lost, who else can I follow but you? Besides, you're still injured. Without me to protect you, how far do you think you can go? We'll stick together and at least have each other's backs."

  "Alright!"

  Xiao Yun hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head. This chubby girl's strength was not weak, with her by his side, it would definitely be much safer. After all, she was an elite disciple of the great sect.
