Chapter 911: Escape
In the darkness of night, a figure was quickly flying through the horizon, heading towards a certain direction.
Over a hundred feet away, the Demon Dragon was pursuing the figure as fast as he could.
Unfortunately, his speed was just a bit slower than the figure, unable to catch up.
In fact, the distance between them was actually increasing.
「 Damn you! I’d like to see you try running anywhere away from me! 」
The Demon Dragon roared in anger.
Let’s fast forward time a bit.
The uppermost part of the stream.
Gu Qing Shan was standing on top of the empty well with both hands outstretched.
A split second later, the figure that was flying through the sky landed and was caught in his embrace.
“Why haven’t you already left?”
The tall slender woman asked him calmly despite being bloody all over.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “You told me to pull you over as soon as I got here, didn’t you?”
The tall slender woman coughed up some blood and said weakly: “Fool, go!”
After that, she immediately fell unconscious.
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “Shannu, what’s the situation?”
Shannu wasn’t restricted by this world, so she was able to use inner sight to observe the world.
Immediately, Shannu’s worried reply came:
“No time to explain, gongzi, escape quickly!”
Gu Qing Shan instantly understood that this was a moment of life and death.
Without a split second of hesitation, he jumped down the empty well with the tall slender woman and dashed straight into the secret room.
Shannu was already standing by the stone chest, so as Gu Qing Shan dashed in, she turned back into a sword and fell by his waist”
Gu Qing Shan pulled the unconscious tall slender woman into the chest with him and closed the lid.
“After sending us away, hide” Gu Qing Shan told the wooden doll.
The doll nodded: “Don’t worry, after you leave, I’ll hide with the pixies, no one can find the pixies”
A heavy sound of impact could be heard outside right at this point.
The Demon Dragon had already reached the bottom of the empty well.
He immediately saw the broken wall and the secret room inside.
「 Hm? A treasure room? No, this strange feeling is...」
The Demon Dragon doubtfully stood still.
From the mystical unknown, he could sense the power of a Demon Dragon bloodkin.
——–but there was no presence of any bloodkin here.
Could it be, that brat who stole the twin swords?
In the Age of Old, during the final battle, he used Soul Artifacts to transform into an Indestructible Giant, making it so that I couldn’t sense who he truly was.
And now, I’m feeling a craving to eat.
This proves that a bloodkin is nearby.
But strangely, I can’t smell any bloodkin...
Could it be? Did that brat kill me in a parallel world?
Then what is concealing his presence?
While he was still full of doubt, his craving disappeared.
The Demon Dragon’s expression changed as he stepped closer to the secret room and swung his hand, opening all the chests inside.
——–empty.
They’ve already left.
The Demon Dragon thought briefly as he went around looking at each chest before crouching down in front of a certain chest.
He reached his hand out and touched the inside of the chest.
There were traces of red.
The Demon Dragon licked his finger and muttered: 「 Indeed, this was her blood—— they transported away through this chest...」
The Demon Dragon climbed inside.
For his 5-meter-tall figure, this chest was a bit too small, so he couldn’t fit inside no matter how he tried.
The Demon Dragon stopped and fell into thought.
This chest has a unique ability to transport people away——-
Normally speaking, any item that can act as a spatial transporter would be extremely intricate and precious, easily broken with just a bit of force.
Having no choice, the Demon Dragon could only retract his power and tried to shrink down as much as possible. In the end, he barely fit inside by closely coiling himself into it at 3-meter-tall.
「 Good, now, I’ll take a close look at whether or not that one is my food 」
The Demon Dragon displayed a terrifying grin and closed the lid of the chest.
The secret room fell silent.
A few moments later.
An earth-rumbling angry roar resounded from the chest:
「 What is going on!? Why can’t I transport away!!! 」
...
The space vortex.
A place where the spatial winds blew without end.
Gu Qing Shan closely hugged the tall slender woman, surrounded by some sort of power as he headed towards a determined destination.
“How strong, I should have been there already” he muttered.
According to the star chart’s transportation method, leaving the Gemini star would take him into the elemental fairy world.
And he was indeed able to enter the elemental fairy world the last time around.
But something seemed to have gone wrong this time.
All of a sudden, glittering nebulae quickly headed towards him from the endless void of space ahead.
The endlessly expansive nebulae gathered in front of him to form a face.
———it was the Fairy of Time.
She smiled at Gu Qing Shan and began to speak:
[Master of the Earth Saint Pillar, as you have signed a confidential agreement with me wherein I must keep your identity a secret, I cannot allow this Abyssal creature into my world. Doing that would lead to you being revealed, your covenant with me broken, and drawing an unimaginably unknown powerful entity’s attention to you]
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the tall slender woman in his embrace.
She was still unconscious, her complexion was pale with traces of blood by her lips.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I can’t leave her, so I won’t enter your world”
The Fairy of Time displayed a contemplating expression and finally spoke up after a while: [I have seen the moment which you obtained the star chart, so I know which world is your next destination——– how about I send you straight to that world right now?]
“That would be perfect, I will be troubling you then” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Fairy of Time smiled and replied: [This is no trouble at all, but following this, I will need to deal with a war that would affect the future of the entire fairy race. Most likely, I won’t have the leisure to pay attention to you, so you will need to rely on your own abilities to survive. Do your best and grow stronger]
Gu Qing Shan expressed his gratitude again: “You have already helped me plenty, I am truly grateful”
The Fairy of Time nodded: [Farewell. I hope that you will be able to grow and mature a bit faster. After all, if the power of one of the four Saint Pillars is missing, we would be in quite a bind...]
Her voice slowly weakened.
The glittering nebulae dissipated, the Fairy of Time’s figure became dim before all the starlight vanished into the endless void of space.
Gu Qing Shan was still flying forward within the space vortex.
As if nothing had happened at all.
But a few moments later, the force acting on Gu Qing Shan’s body abruptly changed.
He drew an arc across the void of space towards another direction.
And kept flying forward.
After an uncertain amount of time.
A bright hole suddenly appeared in the void of space and swallowed Gu Qing Shan whole.
...
Under the faint evening sky.
A falling star streaked across the sky, heading towards the vast expanse of earth below.
After flying for a bit, the falling start suddenly stopped mid-air, then randomly vanished.
Gu Qing Shan landed on the ground.
He released his inner sight to scan the surrounding several thousand miles.
Absolutely barren.
This was a barren rocky mountain.
“Gongzi, there isn’t anyone around us”
Shannu appeared and carefully surveyed their surroundings.
“Hm, hold her for me”
Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a formation plate———
After leaving the Gemini star, he had finally regained his powers as a Three Thousand Worlds realm cultivator!
Gu Qing Shan swiftly arranged every kind of large-scale formations he knew, including for defense, camouflage, attack, etc. He then formed a hand seal and broke open a cave into the side of the mountain.
After going in, he first arranged a spirit funnel formation, put out some bedding, and lighted a calming incense before calling Shannu to lay the tall slender woman on the bed.
Gu Qing Shan then took out a perfect-grade healing pill, crushed it into powder, then controlled water to feed it to the tall slender woman.
His expression was heavy.
On the Gemini star, even Shannu who had all of my powers wasn’t able to defeat the tall slender woman.
But as soon as the Demon Dragon came, he beat her into a near-death comatose state.
——-he was still so powerful with all his abilities sealed away, so if I ran into the Demon Dragon at the peak of his strength, would I even have a chance to run away?
The difference in strength is too great.
He suddenly recalled something and asked Shannu: “During their battle, you were using inner sight to keep a constant eye on them right? What was the situation like at the time?”
Shannu then told him about the battle between the Demon Dragon and the tall slender woman in detail, not leaving out even their short exchanges.
After listening to the end, Gu Qing Shan turned and carefully checked the tall slender woman’s wounds.
“She said I was the old man’s disciple?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Yes, she said that the old man finally had a disciple, so she didn’t want you to die. She used all her strength to stop the Demon Dragon in his tracks, refusing to back down even a little bit” Shannu replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
