Chapter 560: Could It Be That I’ve Fallen for Him?
On the other side, Lin Fengmian appeared in a dense forest, carrying the unconscious You Yao.
However, moments later, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky as a heavenly bolt of lightning tore through the void, heading straight for him.
Without time to think, Lin Fengmian grabbed You Yao and began to run, crossing the tribulation while fleeing.
Fortunately, You Yao’s spiritual energy was completely sealed, making her no different from an ordinary person at the moment.
Otherwise, if she had instinctively resisted, both Lin Fengmian and she would have been doomed.
However, Lin Fengmian wasn’t too relieved. The range of the Minor Teleportation Talisman was limited, and the burly man would probably catch up with him soon.
Now that You Yao was unconscious, she couldn’t even conceal their presence to buy time.
Unless he abandoned You Yao, once the tribulation ended and both the Major and Minor Teleportation Talismans were used up, if they still hadn’t received reinforcements, they would be doomed.
Knowing that their enemy was Jun Fengya, Lin Fengmian had little hope that reinforcements would arrive quickly.
That woman never left any survivors!
Lin Fengmian sighed. If Jun Fengya had given him a chance to communicate, it would have been one thing, but she had outright ordered his death.
While crossing the tribulation, he frantically tried to think of a way to escape their pursuers.
If only he could use the Void-Splitting Slash again, he could hide in the void and…
At this thought, Lin Fengmian’s eyes lit up as he looked at the descending heavenly lightning.
He couldn’t tear through space himself, but he could borrow external forces!
The Heavenly Lightning had followed him through the void earlier, tearing through space to reach him.
Could he exploit this loophole?
Without hesitation, Lin Fengmian decided to give it a try. At worst, he’d waste another minor teleportation talisman.
As the heavenly lightning struck down from the sky, Lin Fengmian activated another Minor Teleportation Talisman.
He instantly disappeared from the spot, and the heavenly lightning, having lost its target, tore through space to chase after him.
No one could escape from a heavenly tribulation unless they fled to another world.
The space around Lin Fengmian twisted once more, and he reappeared on a desolate mountain with You Yao in his arms.
The sky was clear and cloudless, but he didn’t dare to linger and quickly flew upward.
Soon, a massive crack split the sky, and a purple bolt of lightning tore through space, chasing after him.
“Perfect timing!”
Lin Fengmian laughed, holding You Yao as he braced himself against the lightning and flew toward the spatial rift.
Although he was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, his physical body, tempered multiple times, far surpassed that of ordinary body cultivators at the Core Formation Realm.
Although the lightning strike left him grimacing in pain, he managed to crash into the spatial rift.
As the two of them entered the void, the spatial rift quickly closed, and their presence in the area completely disappeared.
The burly man, who had been chasing them halfway, suddenly paused. He had sensed You Yao’s aura in another direction.
But before he could turn around, their auras had disappeared completely.
What was going on?
Unless they had instantly moved millions of miles away, which was impossible with just Major or Minor Teleportation Talismans!
He flew around like a headless fly for a while before finally realizing that they were indeed gone.
Damn it! Not only had he failed to kill them, but he had also lost his third brother.
He couldn’t imagine how he would face his master’s wrath when he returned.
In the void, a light shone from Lin Fengmian’s dantian as two koi fish jumped out, circling around him and sweeping away the chaotic spatial currents.
Holding You Yao, he slowly walked through the spatial turbulence, in no hurry to leave.
After all, the longer he spent in the spatial turbulence, the farther he could get from that area.
As long as he could shake off those pursuers, what did it matter how far he went?
At worst, he could use a teleportation array to head straight to Junlin City. He certainly wasn’t short of Spirit Stones!
Behind Lin Fengmian, the thunderous roar of the heavenly lightning continued to follow him, relentless in its pursuit.
But every time the lightning got close, the two giant koi fish swatted it away, preventing it from reaching Lin Fengmian.
However, the heavenly lightning persisted, as if it was determined to give Lin Fengmian a few solid blows before giving up.
Lin Fengmian looked at the stubborn lightning with some helplessness. Couldn’t it cut him some slack?
As he walked through the void with You Yao in his arms, he pondered over the events that had led up to this point.
He was almost certain that his so-called father had sold him out, giving him this chance to escape.
He just didn’t know what Jun Qingsheng had said to Jun Fengya to make her so determined to kill him.
Lin Fengmian was deep in thought when You Yao groggily opened her eyes in his arms, although he didn’t notice.
You Yao felt utterly miserable, as if she were trapped in the deepest of dreams, unable to wake up.
In her daze, she saw a man as elegant as an immortal holding her.
He was braving the heavenly tribulation, with two koi fish resembling dragons circling around him as he walked through the chaotic spatial currents.
His expression was calm, his gaze distant, and he paid no heed to the heavenly lightning bombarding him from above, which couldn’t harm him in the slightest.
You Yao’s first thought was that she must be delirious. How else could she be having such a bizarre dream?
And why was this guy so handsome and domineering in her dream?
But why would she dream of him?
Could it be that she had fallen in love with him?
The moment this terrifying thought crossed her mind, she was so startled that she almost couldn’t catch her breath.
No, absolutely not!
Overwhelmed with frustration, You Yao drifted back into unconsciousness.
Half an hour later, the Hall Master of Junyan Palace and several elders arrived at the scene via a teleportation array and rushed to the scene of the incident.
They found the airship billowing black smoke, its hull battered and broken, drifting helplessly in the strait.
The airship was clearly beyond repair, only fit to be used as an ordinary ship.
Sun Minghan, the Hall master of Junyan Palace, was a stern middle-aged man who exuded authority.
At this moment, as he looked at the wrecked airship, his face turned ashen.
“Elder Zhou, what happened? Where are the enemies?”
Zhou Yuanhua, one of the elders, sighed bitterly. “Hall Master, the enemies left without hesitation as soon as they sensed your arrival.”
“They seemed to be stalling for time. Their target was probably Jun Wuxie, the prince of the Heavenly Grace Dynasty.”
Sun Minghan frowned. “And where is Jun Wuxie?”
Zhou Yuanhua helplessly shook his head. “His guards took him and fled. We don’t know their current situation.”
“Elder Nangong has gone to search for them, but we don’t know the outcome yet. What a mess!”
Sun Minghan questioned Zhou Yuanhua in detail about the attack, then fell into deep thought.
“When you fought them, did you notice anything about their origin?”
Zhou Yuanhua cautiously glanced around before subtly nodding and transmitting his voice. “That venerable… didn’t seem to be human!”
Sun Minghan’s expression changed drastically. He nodded and said, “Keep this to yourself. Make sure the others keep their mouths shut as well.”
Soon, the casualties on the ship were counted. Two unfortunate disciples who had been too eager to watch the spectacle had died in the attack.
In addition, many servants and attendants had been killed, and numerous others had been injured.
The survivors were still shaken, their faces pale with fear, and the ship was filled with a somber atmosphere.
