82: On the run

Since Yang Lingchen's speed was so fast, to a staggering degree, the guards outside the Heavenly Prison had no reaction time at all and instantly lost track of him.

Before long, Yang Lingchen rushed out of the Wuji Holy Land like a bolt of lightning. However, even though his speed had reached its limit, he still couldn't completely shake off Wang Yuyan, who was pursuing him relentlessly.

After all, Wang Yuyan's current strength had reached the Peak of the ninth layer of the Spiritual Profound Realm, and she could even Breakthrough to the higher Spirit Sea Realm at any moment.

After leaving the Wuji Holy Land, a vast and endless mountain range appeared before his eyes.

Yang Lingchen began to flee frantically like a headless fly. Ever since arriving at the Wuji Holy Land, he had never left, so he was completely clueless as to which direction to escape.

To deal with Wang Yuyan's pursuit, Yang Lingchen pushed his Phantom Movement Technique to its limit. His figure was as swift as lightning, weaving through the dense branches and complex terrain of the mountain range.

Even so, Wang Yuyan's figure remained like a shadow, following closely behind Yang Lingchen not far away.

Since the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, as time slowly passed, the distance between the two was gradually closing.

After all, Wang Yuyan's cultivation level was at the Peak of the ninth layer of the Spiritual Profound Realm, while Yang Lingchen's was only at the sixth layer of the Gui Xuan Realm; the gap between them was like a massive chasm.

"I'm screwed, this old vixen's speed is too fast. If I keep running like this, she'll catch me sooner or later." At this moment, Yang Lingchen was anxious, his heart like an ant on a hot pan. If Wang Yuyan caught him, he definitely wouldn't have a good outcome, and he would surely die a miserable death.

"Yang Lingchen, you can't run anymore. This Holy Master advises you to surrender. As long as you hand over the heavenly martial divine pearl, This Holy Master will definitely not mistreat you," Wang Yuyan's threatening voice came from not far behind.

"You perverted old vixen, give up on that idea! The heavenly martial divine pearl isn't in my hands at all!" Yang Lingchen cursed angrily and continued to flee for his life without looking back.

"Yang Lingchen, This Young Lady has a way to save your life. Do you want to know?" Just as Yang Lingchen was at his wit's end and feeling utterly desperate, Ling'er's elegant and beautiful voice, like heavenly music, came from within the immortal demon sword.

"Young Miss Ling'er, save me!" Yang Lingchen hurried to send a Sound Transmission in his anxiety.

If it weren't for Ling'er inside the immortal demon sword speaking up, he would have almost forgotten about her completely.

She was a very terrifying girl. Although she didn't have a Physical Body, her terrifying pressure was definitely not something an average person could withstand.

"This Young Lady's Soul has become weaker and weaker; I can't save you right now," Ling'er's voice came softly.

"Then why did you just say you could save me?" Yang Lingchen sent a Sound Transmission urgently while fleeing for his life.

"Although This Young Lady can't save you, there is something on you that can!" Ling'er said indifferently.

"What is it?" Yang Lingchen asked impatiently.

"It's that heavenly martial divine pearl," Ling'er's beautiful voice came again.

"The heavenly martial divine pearl? But I don't know how to use it, Young Miss Ling'er!" Yang Lingchen said, feeling quite speechless.

"If This Young Lady's guess is correct, the Cultivation Technique you Cultivate should be a Divine-Grade one, right?" Ling'er said.

"How do you know?" Yang Lingchen asked in extreme shock.

"Don't worry about how This Young Lady knows. You just need to hold the heavenly martial divine pearl tightly, then activate your Cultivation Technique and inject a trace of your Soul power into it, and you'll be able to control this heavenly martial divine pearl," Ling'er said.

Hearing Ling'er's words, Yang Lingchen activated his Cultivation Technique with all his might while fleeing frantically, and at the same time, he injected a trace of Soul power into the heavenly martial divine pearl.

Suddenly, Yang Lingchen felt a subtle connection between himself and the heavenly martial divine pearl.

"What do I do now?" Yang Lingchen continued to ask.

"If This Young Lady's guess is correct, this heavenly martial divine pearl should be the Origin Stone of the Tianwu Continent. Although the energy in this Origin Stone isn't much, it should be enough to support your teleportation to a safe place," Ling'er said.

"How do I teleport? I don't know how, Young Miss Ling'er!" Yang Lingchen said, feeling extremely anxious.

By this time, Wang Yuyan had already chased to within five hundred meters of Yang Lingchen.

"Isn't that simple? Now that the heavenly martial divine pearl has recognized you as its master, you only need to inject a trace of Profound Energy into the heavenly martial divine pearl and then silently think 'teleport' in your heart, and you'll be able to teleport quickly. However, as for where exactly you'll be teleported, I'm not very sure either," Ling'er explained.

Hearing Ling'er's explanation, Yang Lingchen had no time to consider anything else. Without hesitation, he injected a trace of Profound Energy into the heavenly martial divine pearl and silently thought 'teleport' in his heart.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz..."

In an instant, the heavenly martial divine pearl erupted with an extremely dazzling white light, and then Yang Lingchen was tightly enveloped by this white light.

In the blink of an eye, just as the white light enveloped Yang Lingchen, Wang Yuyan's speed suddenly increased, and her figure rushed into the white light like lightning.

Whoosh... the white light flashed and vanished, and the figures of Yang Lingchen and Wang Yuyan completely disappeared from this mountain range.

"Yang Lingchen, you can't escape!"

At this moment, Yang Lingchen and Wang Yuyan were traveling rapidly through a Space Vortex.

Fortunately, they were both enveloped by the white light emitted by the heavenly martial divine pearl; otherwise, with their strength, they would definitely have been torn to pieces by the Spatial Turbulence.

"old vixen, you really are like a dog-skin plaster, you're just never-ending, aren't you?" Yang Lingchen retorted crossly.

"You seek death!" Wang Yuyan's beautiful face showed a hint of anger as she slashed a sword fiercely toward Yang Lingchen.

"Damn it, do you want to die?" Seeing this, Yang Lingchen quickly dodged to the side.

Boom... Just then, a deafening roar erupted within the Space Vortex, and the turbulence surged wildly.

In an instant, Yang Lingchen and Wang Yuyan were thrown out of the Space Vortex, and at the same time, the two were completely separated by the turbulence.

Phew... "Damn, what's going on?"

Yang Lingchen, who had been thrown out of the Spatial Turbulence, had a look of shock on his face, his heart filled with fear and confusion.

At this moment, he was high in the sky and falling rapidly. Originally, a Cultivator of the Gui Xuan Realm could already fly.

But to his shock, he couldn't fly at all right now. No matter how he tried to use his flight technique, he simply couldn't take flight.

Fortunately, there was a dense forest below.

As Yang Lingchen fell rapidly, his body landed directly on a tree branch. The massive force of the fall snapped the branch, and he then slammed heavily onto the ground.

Thud... "That hurts like hell!"

With a muffled sound, Yang Lingchen's eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted from the fall.

After lying on the ground for a long time to recover, Yang Lingchen finally managed to crawl up. He tidied his messy clothes and shook off the leaves and dirt on his body.

He carefully observed his surroundings, and after confirming there was no danger, he finally felt a bit more at ease.

Yang Lingchen sat cross-legged and began to recover his Profound Energy. After the desperate escape just now, his Profound Energy was severely depleted.

A few hours passed in a flash, and Yang Lingchen finally restored his Profound Energy to its Peak state.

Immediately, he began to observe the surrounding situation.

This was a dense and lush forest. The Spiritual Qi here was very abundant, and the climate was very pleasant. The elemental Laws permeating the air were completely different from those in the Northern Profound Region.

"Young Miss Ling'er, what kind of place is this? Why do I feel so insignificant here, and I can't fly at all, as if I'm being suppressed?" Yang Lingchen asked.
