Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies
Chapter 268
Jiang Wang followed Qin Nianmin for a while, and when they walked out of the boundary of Yuecheng, he stopped. From now on, let this old man walk his own path.
He respected Qin Nianmin''s choice, but in fact, he didn''t have much confidence in Qin Nianmin''s journey.
People often have unrealistic fantasies about the "wise ruler" and "great lord of the Qingtian," always feeling that the darkness in front of them is only because the wise ruler''s gaze has not yet reached this place. But they never thought about where the soil that breeds evil comes from and who nurtures it.
He didn''t regret saving Qin Nianmin with a single thought, but the plan to use the power of the Yuecheng Mansion to track down the white-boned Dao Yao had obviously gone down the drain.
It''s ridiculous. He clearly saved the people of this area, but he offended the two city governments one after another.
"I had intended to go to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."
Jiang Wang estimated that the possibility of quickly finding the white-boned Dao Yao was gone, and he could only rely on patience and find it on his own.
This was his somewhat discouraged thought.
But his robe fluttered.
Someone was approaching quickly.
Jiang Wang didn''t stop, but he tightened his grip on the sword.
"I don''t know if the messenger has arrived here! I apologize for not welcoming you earlier!"
A woman''s voice came closer from a distance and soon arrived behind him.
Jiang Wang quickly turned around and faced the person.
The first thing that caught his attention was the small bell hanging in the person''s hand. It looked simple and ordinary, only two fingers wide and two finger joints long, but it made no sound when it shook, giving a strange feeling.
"You are not the messenger?" The person holding the small bell also seemed stunned. Her voice came from under a heavy cloak, like a snake swimming on the ground.
After hearing the news about Zhang Linchuan, the snake-faced person''s initial thought was to see what Zhang Linchuan was doing quietly in the Yang Kingdom.
According to the original plan, the one who should have come to finish the matter was the Holy Lord himself.
She was now nominally on the side of the Holy Maiden and couldn''t ignore Zhang Linchuan''s actions.
But the person in front of her was consistent with the description given by the three Yuecheng cultivators: young, dressed in simple black martial attire, with medium-length hair and a long sword. But... he was not Zhang Linchuan!
She thought it was Zhang Linchuan who had taken off his mask and changed his outfit to take advantage of the old man named Qin. But now it was clear that this was not the case at all. This person was not Zhang Linchuan.
If he wasn''t Zhang Linchuan, why did he know Zhang Linchuan''s name?
Same name, same surname, or...
The snake-faced person''s thoughts raced, and in an instant, she grasped the truth: "Did you kill Pig-Faced?"
Only the person from Zhuangguo who killed Pig-Faced would have known Zhang Linchuan''s name.
Without waiting for Jiang Wang to reply, she didn''t say a word and turned to flee!
The fact that she could kill Pig-Faced, no matter by what means, indicated her strength.
She might not be able to preserve her life in a confrontation.
So... she fled!
She had come to follow the trail of the so-called Zhang Linchuan, but she had unexpectedly encountered the person she least wanted to meet in the Yang Kingdom.
She intended to avoid danger, but she unexpectedly ran into it.
In an instant, she exerted all her strength and dashed towards the distance.
Jiang Wang was also stunned for a moment, not knowing who this person was referring to as the messenger. But after the person didn''t say a word and fled at full speed, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Found her!
It was the same aura... the secret method of the Twelve Bone Gods!
The person who came was one of the twelve white-boned faces of the White Bone Dao!
While his thoughts were still turning, he had already rushed out.
Wrapped in purple energy, he leaped with the sword light.
The Dao Yuan surged out of the Tongtian Palace and surged in the blood.
Jiang Wang was like a gust of wind sweeping across the earth, stirring up countless leaves and dust.
Because he couldn''t open the door of heaven and earth, he couldn''t travel through the air. Every time he landed, there was a loud bang, leaving a shallow pit in the ground.
If someone looked down from high above, they would see a dragon of rising smoke and dust, spreading rapidly towards the front.
This was purely the speed of the vigorous Dao Yuan, and it had reached Jiang Wang''s current limit.
However, the snake-faced person kept fleeing further and further, gradually disappearing from sight.
Although he now had the strength to kill a cultivator in the Soaring Dragon Realm, fundamentally, he had not crossed the door of heaven and earth and was not as fast as a cultivator in the Soaring Dragon Realm who could fly and escape.
He could entangle the opponent in a fierce battle, but for a cultivator in the Soaring Dragon Realm who started fleeing from a distance, he really had no way.
But Jiang Wang did not give up. As he ran, he used one hand to complete the Dao technique of recollection.
In the brief contact just now, he had already captured a trace of the fleeing white-boned face''s aura, which was now being used.
Guided by recollection, Jiang Wang disregarded everything and chased with all his might.
From the reaction of this white-boned face, if she was allowed to escape this time, she might never appear in front of Jiang Wang again.
There might only be this one chance to meet by chance.
For the sake of the people of the Yang Kingdom who were suffering from the plague, or for himself, he was not willing to let her go.This was a chase that could be described as lengthy, with two individuals in hot pursuit of one another, passing through the entire domain of Yue City, continuing into Jia City''s territory, and then veering into Ning City''s domain...
Along the way, they drew the attention of countless onlookers, yet no one dared to meddle or cause trouble.
In terms of sheer speed, the one with the snake-bone mask was certainly faster. However, Jiang Wang''s relentless and unwavering pursuit was something she couldn''t shake off.
The moment she paused, Jiang Wang''s approaching figure would quickly become evident, forcing her to flee once again.
And whenever Jiang Wang lost sight of his target, he would immediately lock onto the direction with his pursuit technique and continue the chase.
The two traversed through the majority of the Riyue County, circled around a great distance, and entered Chibei County.
The snake-bone masked individual, no matter what, dared not cross into the territory of Qi Country. If she were to be intercepted, it would likely spell disaster for her—indeed, this was precisely why Jiang Wang could chase so relentlessly without any reservations.
Cults like the White Bone Path, with their followers, were akin to rats crossing the street, despised and targeted by all.
In any place touched by sunlight, the pursuit of such heretical and demonic individuals was supported and encouraged. The ones who should be afraid were the rats, not the ones hunting them.
Crossing through the majority of Riyue County and circling into Chibei County, the two had nearly traversed half of Yang Country.
Under normal circumstances, such a journey would take more than half a month. But with their extreme speed in this chase, it took them a full three days and nights.
By this time, the mood of the snake-bone masked individual had turned very grim.
Although they had not yet engaged in direct combat, she already understood why this person was able to slay the pig-faced one.
The sheer magnitude of his Dao Yuan reserves alone was enough to shock her.
Compared to practitioners in the Tongtian Realm, those in the Soaring Dragon Realm needed a vast amount of Dao Yuan to sustain their isolated islands of heaven and earth. Until they completely cleared the fog of ignorance and penetrated the ocean within their bodies, the amount of Dao Yuan they could actually utilize did not fundamentally increase.
Although theoretically, they should have more Dao Yuan reserves than those in the Tongtian Realm, Jiang Wang''s meridians were opened with the highest-grade meridian-opening elixirs. His Tongtian Palace was grand and majestic, founded on the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array, with nine great star rivers rotating, his Dao Yuan reserves far surpassed those of his peers in the same realm.
She simply couldn''t shake him off completely.
Throughout the journey, the snake-bone masked individual dared not pass through cities, opting instead to traverse mountains and ridges. No matter how powerful and terrifying the White Bone Path was, under the sunlight, her identity was inherently at a disadvantage.
If possible, she even wanted to flee all the way back to the underground palace where the headquarters of the White Bone Path was located. However, that was merely wishful thinking.
Without waiting to reach that far, if this desperate flight continued for another two days, her Dao Yuan would be exhausted, and she would have to draw from the Dao Yuan of her isolated islands of heaven and earth—the agony of the fog of ignorance returning was something she was unwilling to endure again.
She didn''t know how much longer Jiang Wang could persist, but she didn''t want to gamble. Once she reached her own limit, she feared she would no longer have the strength to fight back.
By then, she would probably become the first Soaring Dragon Realm practitioner to die while fleeing. Even though she cherished her life, she did not want to bear that title.
So she stopped and began to seize the time to recuperate her breath. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.
