579: Yang Lingchen's Crisis

"Lingchen, what's wrong?"

Seeing Yang Lingchen's grave expression, Dong Xuanji walked over and asked with concern.

"The news about the yellow springs diagram has leaked; I'm being targeted now."

Yang Lingchen spoke with a heavy tone, then added, "But you don't need to worry, it's safe in here."

"Then don't go out for the time being." A flash of worry crossed Dong Xuanji's eyes.

"Mm... okay!" Yang Lingchen nodded. He planned to stay in the haotian jade space for a while.

In the following days, Yang Lingchen remained in the haotian jade space to Cultivate, while also spending time with his women.

He wasn't worried about his safety; after all, with the yellow springs diagram masking his presence, ordinary people couldn't sense the existence of the Vast Heaven Jade at all.

Under Yang Lingchen's instructions, Little Flame traveled to a hidden mountain range and stayed there.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

After half a year of bitter cultivation, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level finally reached the fifth level of the Dominator Realm.

During this half-year, he never once left the haotian jade space.

With the company of these women, he didn't feel bored. Moreover, the haotian jade space was incredibly vast, so living inside didn't feel oppressive at all.

Today, Yang Lingchen finally decided to go out and take a look.

After staying inside for half a year, he wanted to understand what the situation was like outside.

After leaving the haotian jade space, Yang Lingchen set up a small Teleportation Array in a certain cave within the mountain range. In case he encountered danger, he could set up a matching Teleportation Array and teleport directly back here.

Having done everything, Yang Lingchen flew toward the nearest city.

To avoid being recognized, he transformed himself into a mature and elegant middle-aged man.

Haoxuan City, an Intermediate city in the Central Province.

Although only an Intermediate city, its scale was comparable to East Saint City in the east.

Just as he arrived at the city gate, Yang Lingchen was drawn to the bulletin board, as a wanted poster was posted there, and the portrait on it was exactly him.

The wanted poster stated that anyone who provided information on Yang Lingchen would receive one billion mid-grade divine origin stones. The forces issuing the warrant were the Three Great Super Factions of the Central Province.

These Three Great Super Factions were: the Haotian Immortal Kingdom, Taoyuan Holy Island, and the Lei Yan Holy Land.

Yang Lingchen secretly felt lucky; fortunately, he had changed his appearance, otherwise, he would be in big trouble.

After entering the city, Yang Lingchen bought a few recently published copies of the ancient desolation ranking of events. After all, to understand what had happened in the past six months, the ancient desolation ranking of events was the best channel.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen found an inn to stay in and set up a matching Teleportation Array in his room. This way, if there was danger, he could leave immediately through the Teleportation Array.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was carefully reading the ancient desolation ranking of events.

Through the ancient desolation ranking of events, Yang Lingchen learned that Xuan Yin Palace had not been implicated. However, Mu Xiya had stepped down from the position of Palace Master and her whereabouts were unknown.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen quickly took out his sound transmission jade and sent a message to Mu Xiya: "Palace Master, you aren't afraid of my kingly return, are you? Did you run away in advance?"

"Stinky brat! Do you have any idea how much danger you're in right now? You still have the heart to tease this seat."

Before long, Mu Xiya's voice came through Yang Lingchen's sound transmission jade.

"Don't worry, Palace Master, I'm very shrewd, it's not that easy for something to happen to me." Yang Lingchen sent another Sound Transmission: "If I really make a kingly return, will you really fulfill your promise?"

"What promise? Why don't I remember?" Mu Xiya's charming voice, with a hint of playfulness, came through again.

"Palace Master, it's useless to try and back out. If I truly make a kingly return, do you think you'll be able to resist?" Yang Lingchen messaged back.

"Stinky brat! Do you actually dare to use force on me?" Mu Xiya said crossly.

"That's hard to say," Yang Lingchen replied with a smile via Sound Transmission.

The two chatted for a while longer before ending the transmission... At the same time, tens of millions of kilometers away, top experts from various major factions in the Central Province were like a swarm of locusts, rapidly speeding toward Yang Lingchen's location.

"Mr. Liu, has that kid's location been confirmed?" A sharp light flashed in Lei Zhentian's eyes.

"It's basically confirmed. We only need to follow the Heavenly Strange Beast to find that kid," Divine Calculator said.

"Then let's hurry! Lest that kid escapes again," Yang Tianxu said in a deep voice.

For the past six months, he had been following Divine Calculator around the Central Province. If it weren't for the yellow springs diagram being too Heaven-Defying, he would have lost his patience long ago... A mysterious mountain peak in the Central Province.

A woman with a peerless, city-toppling countenance was holding a newly published copy of the ancient desolation ranking of events.

"Yang Lingchen, I never thought I would meet you again in this strange world. It's just a pity that when we meet again, we will be lifelong enemies."

This peerless woman whispered to herself, a trace of regret in her beautiful eyes... Meanwhile, Yang Lingchen didn't know he was being targeted again; he was currently shopping frantically in Haoxuan City.

As long as it was a Spirit Medicine, weapon, Materials, or daily supplies he took a fancy to, he bought them all.

Although there were many things he didn't need, his women did, so he purchased them as well.

As a man, he naturally couldn't let his women suffer.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Today, Yang Lingchen finally planned to leave.

The moment he stepped out of Haoxuan City, several powerful figures flashed into existence, surrounding him in an instant.

"Yang Lingchen, you can't run anymore." Huang Shahai's voice was extremely cold, his sharp eyes looking as if they wanted to tear Yang Lingchen apart.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen's expression became incredibly grave, because today's crisis left him with no hope at all.

Most of the people surrounding him had reached the Haotian Realm. Even the one with the lowest cultivation, Lei Zhentian, had reached the fifth level of the Spirit God Realm.

Although Lei Zhentian only had a cultivation level of the fifth level Spirit God Realm, Yang Lingchen's intuition told him the opponent's combat strength was definitely not weaker than an average Haotian Realm expert.

Yang Lingchen was helpless that the Vast Heaven Jade hadn't sensed Lei Zhentian, as the other party had been hiding inside a middle-aged man's secret treasure space until he was surrounded, only then stepping out.

"Kid, hand over the yellow springs diagram to this King, and this King can preserve your life." Yang Tianxu stood in the air, looking coldly at Yang Lingchen.

"Are you sure you can protect me?" Yang Lingchen looked at Yang Tianxu excitedly, as if seeing hope.

"Of course."

Yang Tianxu nodded slightly, an imperceptible cold glint flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"Fine, then I'll give it to you." Yang Lingchen took out the yellow springs diagram, looking as if he were about to throw it to Yang Tianxu at any moment.

"Kid, if you dare throw the yellow springs diagram to Yang Tianxu, this seat will surely kill you." Huang Shahai stepped forward coldly.

If he didn't speak up now, the yellow springs diagram might have nothing to do with him.

"Then who do I give it to?" Yang Lingchen asked nervously, putting the yellow springs diagram away again.

"The yellow springs diagram goes to you all; This Young Master only wants his person. No one is allowed to kill him, otherwise, don't blame This Young Master for being impolite." Lei Zhentian's voice was freezing, a strange light in the depths of his eyes.

As long as he devoured Yang Lingchen's Soul, his talent and strength would be significantly improved. By then, the Vast Heaven Jade would also undergo earth-shattering changes.

After all, once the two pieces of Vast Heaven Jade merged into one, the Spiritual Qi inside would double again.

"Lei Zhentian, are you sure you won't participate in the fight for the yellow springs diagram?" A faint smile played on Divine Calculator's lips.

"When This Young Master speaks, his word is his bond," Lei Zhentian said coldly. "You can fight over the yellow springs diagram however you want, but this kid absolutely cannot die."

Compared to the yellow springs diagram, he cared more about Yang Lingchen's body. As long as he devoured Yang Lingchen's body and Soul, the benefits he would gain would be far greater than the yellow springs diagram... To be continued!
