Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 300 - 298: Escape from the Old Home
"Beixuan City?"
"This is Beixuan City?"
"Hiss, no wonder it feels so familiar!"
They had all spent some time in Beixuan City before.
Especially Xu Yang, who was also very familiar with the barren regions of Beixuan City!
Their expressions suddenly changed dramatically, their vigilance rising instantly several notches.
King Beixuan, the very heart of the Northern Territory!
It used to be extremely prosperous.
Now, however, it's the stronghold of the Barbarian Race.
In other words, they'd arrived at the Barbarian Race's lair?
Countless strong foes, countless soldiers!
"..."
Yang Yi gulped with difficulty, scanning his surroundings in terror before looking quickly at Xu Yang: "Mr. Xu, what... what should we do?"
Their group of Daqian Martial Artists would be unimaginably conspicuous in Beixuan City today!
Xu Yang was also stunned for a moment.
Once he regained his senses, a bitter smile appeared.
"Someone's coming."
Xu Yang's expression suddenly changed.
Swoosh!
Yang Yi and the others reacted swiftly, silently positioning themselves on either side of the alleyway.
The sound of footsteps approached, and soon a ragged little boy walked in.
Seeing Xu Yang, the boy was startled, involuntarily opening his mouth wide in surprise.
Pa!
Yang Yi appeared at his side like a phantom, raised his hand and tapped lightly, and the boy's eyes rolled back as he fainted instantly.
"Young master, he..."
"Let him stay unconscious a while longer!"
Xu Yang took a deep breath and hurried to consult with Gu Jun.
"Let them enter the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant!" Gu Jun said.
"Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant?"
Xu Yang's heart trembled.
"This pendant has been through several metamorphoses, and with a bit of refining by me, it's almost a true Spatial Spiritual Object now—even living people can reside inside!"
"Hurry up—I'm only worried that the Void Shift tearing the space earlier was noticed by a powerful being here."
Hearing this, Xu Yang's expression changed. He looked at the group and said, "Quick, you all enter my Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant first!"
"I have a way to get out of here."
Liou Yunfeng's eyes flashed as he quickly arrived at Xu Yang's side.
No one dared to delay!
In the Barbarian Race stronghold, lingering even a moment longer was enough to make their hearts race in terror!
Xu Yang flicked his sleeve!
Swoosh!
The group vanished into thin air, all entering the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant!
Inside the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant, there was a formless region shrouded in surging emerald jade light, like a separate, independent space.
Liou Yunfeng and the others materialized here—although restricted, it didn't affect anything else.
Xu Yang exhaled softly, his figure rapidly changing—within the blink of an eye, he'd transformed into a Barbarian Martial Artist.
He appeared to be a middle-aged man of about forty.
Early Stage of the Realm of Myriad Phenomena in cultivation!
And, his clothes still bore the symbol of the Kunwu Division!
He had stayed in the Kunwu Division long enough to be extremely familiar with them!
After finishing all this, Xu Yang flashed away and darted toward the city gates.
Though disguised as a Barbarian, most wouldn't see through him, but who knew how many Barbarian experts lurked in Beixuan City?
What if there was a True Lord?
What if luck ran out?
So, he didn't want to stay in Beixuan City a moment longer!
Leaving was the best choice!
Not long after Xu Yang left,
a figure stepped through the air from deep within Beixuan City.
The newcomer was a Barbarian elder. He swept his gaze over the alley, his brow deeply furrowed.
"Strange, was it just my imagination?"
Just as the elder was about to leave, thinking it a false alarm, he suddenly sensed something. His figure flickered, dropping like lightning.
He hooked a finger through the air, and a spiritual light glimmered at his fingertips. Faintly, strange spiritual dust twisted and spiraled around his finger.
In the next instant, the elder's pupils shrank sharply: "Traces of spatial healing... someone used Void Shift to come here!"
"Who could it be?"
"Could it be..."
A harsh light flashed in the elder's eyes. He suddenly leapt up, spreading his will outward and hurtling toward the city gate.
Along the way, as he neared the gates, he detected no trace of anything unusual!
"Strange!"
"Anyone leave the city?"
The elder descended from the sky, fixing his gaze on the guards and barking a question.
The guards responded respectfully, "Reporting to your excellency, a Kunwu Division Martial Artist along with one of the prince's maids left the city!"
"Kunwu Division? The prince's maid?"
The elder frowned, flicked his body, and swept out of the city.
With a glance, he saw the official road was empty, the wilderness around it deserted as well!
The elder's face turned sullen, yet he refused to give up—leaping up again, he unleashed a formidable Spiritual Power and searched meticulously.
Meanwhile, beneath a dirt pit by the roadside in the wilderness, a figure was lying prone!
It was Xu Yang!
"I knew someone would notice."
"A Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection!"
Xu Yang, sensing the sweeping, carpet-like search outside, couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Luckily, the elder didn't find him.
After a careful search, the elder left in another direction.
Xu Yang waited a full quarter of an hour without sensing further movement before he finally exhaled in relief, crawling out of the dirt pit and fleeing into the distance.
The whole Northern Territory had fallen!
It could be said there was hardly a safe spot—at any moment they could run into Barbarians!
"Escaping the Northern Territory easily is almost impossible."
And the number of unexpected dangers was too great for him to imagine.
So, Xu Yang planned to find a place to hide first.
A thousand miles outside Beixuan City—Illusion Demon Forest!
This was the only truly dangerous place near Beixuan City, though for a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert, its dangers weren't a real problem!
Inside, there existed a special kind of Illusion Demon Beast, whose Divine Techniques could create illusions, bewitching the minds of people—quite dangerous!
But that was all!
With Xu Yang's strength, he had no fear.
This was the only temporarily safe refuge he could think of for now.
Even if the Barbarian Race sent experts to search, they wouldn't linger long in Illusion Demon Forest.
Half an hour later.
Approaching Illusion Demon Forest, Xu Yang scanned his surroundings—deserted and peaceful.
It seemed that with the fall of the Northern Territory, most of the region had become empty of people!
Xu Yang thought there shouldn't be any danger lurking in Illusion Demon Forest.
He intended to rest for now and let Liou Yunfeng, Yang Yi, and the others recuperate first.
Rustle!
The distant ground suddenly trembled.
"Kid, hide—quickly!"
Gu Jun urgently warned.
Xu Yang's expression changed dramatically, and he dashed toward Illusion Demon Forest like lightning.
Just as he moved, in the distance appeared a splendid beast-drawn carriage, pulled by two towering Fire Lions—with a black-robed Barbarian elder seated at the front.
"Hmm?"
The elder immediately noticed Xu Yang. With a flick of his reins, the Fire Lions roared, their four limbs pounding furiously as they burst forth at a speed not inferior to the Myriad Phenomena Realm.
Both Fire Lions were actually beasts of the Myriad Phenomena Realm level!
The elder pointed with a finger, and the speed of the Fire Lions suddenly soared several times over.
Swoosh!
Blazing fire streaked through the air, leaving behind two crimson lines—the beast carriage hurtled toward Illusion Demon Forest at terrifying speed!
In the blink of an eye!
Xu Yang felt the Periphery Void Space shudder, and in the next instant, he was caught and immobilized!
As if trapped in a swamp!
"..."
The muscles on Xu Yang's face twitched; his expression turned especially ugly.
He struggled to turn around. Seeing the fearsome beast carriage, his pupils contracted.
"Who are you?"
The elder frowned and asked.
Xu Yang took a deep breath, forced himself to remain calm, and said respectfully, "Kunwu Division Martial Artist!"
"Kunwu Division?"
"Why were you running?"
The elder's gaze was probing and razor-sharp—enough to terrify.
Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection!
And both beast-drawing Fire Lions were of the Myriad Phenomena Realm as well—just what kind of figure was sitting inside this carriage?
Xu Yang was cursing internally by this point.
Simply put, near Beixuan City, there really were just too many Barbarian powerhouses.
It was then that someone inside the beast carriage noticed the disturbance—an exquisite hand pulled open the curtain, and as a tall, alluring figure leaned out, a cold and proud face Xu Yang was all too familiar with was revealed.
