Zhan BeiAo glared furiously, pausing his iron-like right arm briefly to block the concealed elder’s attacking momentum. "Young man, let’s pause for a while," said the elder, who had a straightforward personality, not taking advantage of the situation to create trouble. He withdrew his Great Sword and instantly concealed his aura again. Just now, as the two were entangled in battle, the situation suddenly turned dire. Zhan BeiAo thought that Princess Sha Fei, guarded by the Blood Prison Army and palace maids, would be safe from harm. The palace maid was from the Dragon War Empire, a female soldier meticulously trained by Zhan BeiAo in earlier years, with skills in the Dark Earth Peak Realm, making it difficult for ordinary soldiers to get close. Information available to Zhan BeiAo also indicated that Fa Xiaoyi’s Cultivation was only at the level of Dark Earth Great Success, but today it became apparent that he had hidden his true capacity. While everyone was engrossed in the fierce battle between Zhan BeiAo and the concealed elder, Fa Xiaoyi was chanting under his breath. A Five-star Light, like a ghostly hand, silently stretched towards the feet of Sha Fei. Before the people next to Sha Fei could react, she suddenly disappeared from the sight of the troops, reappearing in the hands of Fa Xiaoyi. What was more astonishing was that after the Five-star Light succeeded, it enveloped Fa Xiaoyi and Sha Fei, forming a tangible barrier, impervious to the attacks of the Blood Prison Army and the palace maid. Having been trained in Dark Skill from a young age, Sha Fei, born into the prestigious Sha Family, could not easily be harmed by ordinary weapons even if they managed to get close. She was restrained by Fa Xiaoyi, the peculiar black hairpin clamping her throat causing her to feel as if her whole body had fallen into an ice pit, her internal Dark Energy solidifying like ice, slowing significantly. Her originally fair skin faded like melting snow, her cries for help intermittent. Contrarily, the originally simplistic surface of the hairpin began shimmering like starlight in the night, coming to life. "Earth Yin Escape, the long-lost Earth Yin Escape," Xie San recognized the object in Fa Xiaoyi’s hand. The Sky Sun Shuttle and Earth Yin Escape, the legendary treasures of Shang Kingdom said to be the foundation of its establishment, inconspicuously resembled a woman’s hairpin. This hairpin, which enjoys darkness, preferred to absorb the essence blood of women. With just a bit more force from Fa Xiaoyi, Sha Fei’s throat would be completely penetrated. Seeing his beloved in danger, "Fa Xiaoyi," Zhan BeiAo roared, his fists moving swift as lightning, raining down on the Five-star Array that formed the protective shield like a torrential storm. "Boom," the heavy punch carrying a thousand pounds of force, accompanied by a roar loud enough to rip one’s eardrums, shook the entire Lie Family Mansion. But the seemingly fragile Five-star Array only shimmered with starlight and did not break. "Have your troops stand fast, prepare a good steed for me and do not pursue me for half a day. I will release Sha Fei outside the city," Fa Xiaoyi, dragging Sha Fei, continued walking slowly and said, "Disobey, and I will return a dried corpse to you, including killing the well-formed fetus in her womb." Knowing that he couldn’t destroy the peculiar Starlight Shield, anger turned Zhan BeiAo’s eyes red, his knuckles turning white. Eventually, he closed his eyes and ordered, "All troops fall back, prepare the horses." The Blood Prison Army promptly readied the horses, and the military and animals entrenched themselves. Fa Xiaoyi mounted a horse, pulling Sha Fei up as well, and after giving Lie Rou and the others a cold glance, he said, "Tell Yue Jinghua, the debt she owes me, I shall repay tenfold one day." With a whoosh, Fa Xiaoyi merged with his horse, transforming into a fleeting shadow that disappeared down the road into the night. "Strange, why didn’t Fa Xiaoyi bring the Feise Empress Dowager? And why did Zhan BeiAo let him go so easily?" Yue Jinghua muttered in surprise within Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness. Not right, Yue Jinghua sharply sensed that something was missing. Xie San and his remaining assassins were nowhere to be seen. Apart from assassinating Yue Jinghua, Xie San and his group’s main purpose was to search for the Sky Sun Shuttle and Earth Yin Escape. In the haste just now, Fa Xiaoyi didn’t have the chance to retrieve the Sky Sun Shuttle, and he even exposed that he had the Earth Yin Escape with him. Now that Xie San was aware of the whereabouts of the Earth Yin Escape, he naturally wouldn’t let it go easily. With the strange and exceptional skills of the remaining assassins, even if Fa Xiaoyi galloped away on his horse, it would likely be difficult for him to escape certain death. "We should pursue him," Qing Pu, who had been observing coldly for a long time, issued the instruction. "Pursue? What’s there to chase? I can’t even beat them, not to mention my mother and others are still at the Lie Family Mansion," Yue Jinghua complained, the previous state of Fa Xiaoyi and the Earth Yin Escape he possessed gave Yue Jinghua a vague sense of foreboding. Qing Pu had said before, Fa Xiaoyi was his first choice. If being called a Summoner, known as a unique skill on the continent, couldn’t attract Fa Xiaoyi, then what more powerful force did attract him? "I am here," Qing Pu said briefly, feeling the aura of the Diamond Summoning Manual lingering on Fa Xiaoyi. The tall figure enveloped Yue Jinghua, without any explanation, directly taking her out of the Mo Xi space. Men are unreliable, pigs might climb trees. Yue Jinghua murmured in her heart, but who made her owe Qing Pu a favor. She obediently released an enhanced Meat Worm to track down Fa Xiaoyi’s scent. The Gold Eater Worm proudly flapped its wings, and in no time, it had locked onto Fa Xiaoyi’s trail. Yanpo Forest, for some unknown reason, Fa Xiaoyi was driving his horse directly towards the Yanpo Forest that had been destroyed by a swarm of bugs. Yue Jinghua didn’t hesitate either, temporarily leaving behind Lie Rou and others, and hurried towards Yanpo Forest. By the time Fa Xiaoyi left Polo City, the dawn was just breaking, he was dragging Sha Fei, indifferent to her continual pleas, and just kept a grim face. Once they reached Yanpo Forest, he abandoned the horse, pulled Sha Fei along, and briskly headed deep into the forest, to the place where initially Yue Jinghua and others had discovered the Land Crocodile Turtle. "Prince Fa, I can’t keep up anymore. Could you slow down a bit? I promise no one will pursue you," Sha Fei pleaded with a pitiful expression. But Fa Xiaoyi, like someone with a heart of stone, didn’t pause for even a moment as he kept moving quickly, the color of the Five-star Array enveloping the two gradually dimmed, seeming as if it was going to disappear. Seeing that her pleas were ineffective, Sha Fei changed her tune: "Even if you don’t care about me, you should be concerned about the Consort. She is still in the palace; if anything happens to me, Zhan BeiAo will not let her go." "Consort!" After hearing about the Feise Empress Dowager, Fa Xiaoyi indeed paused, his expression turned strange as he looked at Sha Fei. The sullen expression that had been tense all day suddenly broke into a laugh, revealing his imposing and handsome features, which stunned Sha Fei. Fa Xiaoyi laughed with tears in his eyes, his gaze swept through the forest behind him, "Come out now, I know you’ve been following for a long while."
