Leaving Dashishi City, Zhang Ruochen didn't stay for a moment and prepared to rush back to Tianmo Wujing with the fastest speed.

  "The royal family of the Four-sided County and the Poisonous Spider Merchant Guild's headquarters will soon learn about me taking away the account book, they must send a large number of masters to chase and kill me. I must return to the Tianmo Martial City before they catch up with me."

  Zhang Ruochen unfolded his Body Technique, hurrying along the road in the wind and snow, like a ghostly shadow sweeping across the vast snowy plain, leaving behind only a piercing sound of breaking wind.

  Han Yu also cultivated a very mysterious body technique, his body was as light as a swallow, and he stepped on the snow without leaving any footprints. He closely followed Zhang Ruo Chen's back and said: "Friend, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the young master who has recently risen to fame, Chen Ruo. Right?"

  Upon hearing Han Xuan's voice, Zhang Ruochen slightly furrowed his brow and stared at her for a moment before saying in a cold tone, "Don't follow me."

  Because Han Xuan and Zhang Tian Gui were very close, Zhang Ruo Chen had always been on guard against Han Xuan, treating her as a potential enemy.

  Han Xuan didn't know this, but thought that the mysterious boy's temper was strange and unpleasant to be around.

  "Since you didn't deny it, it means you are indeed Chen Ruo."

  Han Xuan's eyes sparkled with a smile, saying: "The Wushicheng Academy and the Yuntai Sect have always had a good relationship. Since we've already had a pleasant cooperation in the black market, why don't you lend me that account book to take a look?"

  Zhang Ruochen was too lazy to talk to her, the true energy in his body gathered at his feet, and his legs were completely wrapped in spiritual fire.

  The speed, which was already extremely fast, has increased even further.

  Han Yu also quickened his pace, catching up to Zhang Ruochen once again. "You said that after taking the Sacred Light Pill, I can at most cultivate to the late stage of Tianji Realm. If I continue cultivating, there will be a risk to my life. Isn't this just an exaggeration?"

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Are you annoyed or not? If you follow me again, be careful I won't be polite to you."

  Han Xuan glared at Zhang Ruochen with some annoyance. As the daughter of the Cloud Platform Sect's sect master and a stunning beauty who could topple cities, she had taken the initiative to be friendly towards him, yet still got rejected.

  Since she was young, no man dared to speak to her in such a tone, even Zhang Tianguai, the number one genius of Tianmo Ridge's 36 counties, tried his best to please her.

  "You want to get rid of me, but I insist on following you."

  Han Yu was closely following Zhang Ruochen, keeping pace with him.

  After nightfall, Zhang Ruochen stopped.

  After rushing for a whole day, whether it was Zhang Ruochen or Han Xuan, they both looked somewhat exhausted, with their internal true energy greatly depleted, and they had to stop and rest.

  "Whoosh"

  Zhang Ruochen swung his hand and made a cut, drawing a line in the snow.

  He stared at Han Xuan for a moment and said, "If you dare to cross this line, don't blame me for being impolite."

  After saying this, Zhang Ruochen swallowed a Blood Pill and immediately sat down on the ground with his legs crossed. He held two Spirit Crystals in his hands, absorbing the spiritual energy within them to start recovering his true energy.

  Han Xuan puffed out his chest and said somewhat discontentedly, "Our cultivation is about the same, even if I were to cross this line, what can you do to me?"

  Although she said that, Han Xuan did not cross that line and did not challenge Zhang Ruochen's bottom line. She also took out two Ling crystals, pinched them in her hand, and began to cultivate.

  Goose feather-like snowflakes fell fluttering down, and in just one short hour, the accumulated snow had already covered Zhang Ruochen's waist.

  Another quarter of an hour passed, and the snow covered Zhang Ruochen's chest.

  The top of his head, shoulders, legs and arms were all covered in ice and snow. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice that there was a person sitting cross-legged there at all.

  Suddenly, the sky rang out with a "Woo Woo" sound, and a giant red spider battleship flew in from the horizon, like an iron mountain, piercing through the night sky, flying towards Zhang Ruochen and Han Xuan's direction.

  On top of the giant spider ship, dozens of warriors wearing purple robes were searching everywhere for Zhang Ruochen and Han Xuan.

  Feeling the sound coming from above, Han Xuan immediately stopped his cultivation and slightly moved his body.

  "Don't move, it's the Venomous Spider Clan's people who have caught up. The Red Spider Giant Ship's power is not to be underestimated, we can't withstand it."

  Zhang Ruochen's voice entered her ears.

  Zhang Ruochen had also considered driving the Red Spider Giant Ship back to Tianmo Wujing, but in the end he vetoed it. The target of driving the Red Spider Giant Ship was too big, and it would be easy for the top strongmen of the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce and the Four Sides County to lock onto him.

  Han Yu also heard the reputation of the Red Spider Giant Ship and was moved in his heart, saying: "What to do now?"

  "We are now covered in snow and ice, as long as we hold our breath, they won't be able to find us." Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes again, withdrawing all his true energy into his body, remaining completely still, just like a boulder.

  After a while, the giant red spider ship flew away and disappeared into the horizon.

  "Boom"

  Han Xuan burst out of the snow, like a beautiful fairy, flying into the air and then gently falling down, staring at Zhang Ruochen opposite her and smiling: "Those evil Taoist warriors have left, shouldn't we also be on our way?"

  Zhang Ruochen also walked out of the snow and said, "Don't use us, I'm not familiar with you."

  "It was you who used us first, and then I did this." Han Xiao said.

  "I'm afraid that once you're exposed, I'll be implicated too." Zhang Ruo Chen thought for a moment, then asked: "Why do you insist on following me?"

  Han Yu's eyes turned serious and he said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's get straight to the point. The account book you obtained from the black market recorded the transactions between the Poisonous Spider Merchant Guild and the Four Sides Kingdom's royal family. If you return that account book to the Wushang Academy, it will be extremely disadvantageous for our Cloud Platform Sect."

  "So you killed Zhen Junhou to prove the innocence of the Cloud Platform Sect?" Zhang Ruochen said.

  "Isn't it enough?" Han Xiao said.

  "Those who are clear will be clear, and those who are muddy will be muddy. Why do you need to deliberately explain the intelligence system of Wu Shi's money house? If this matter is really unrelated to the Yun Tai Zong Fu, it will naturally not involve you."

  Han Xuan shook his head and said, "What if there's someone inside the Wu Shi Money House who wants to frame us? The best solution is for you and me to return to Tian Mo Wu City together. You can take me to meet the high-ranking officials of the Wu Shi Academy, and I'll explain everything in person."

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Aren't you afraid that the Yun Tai Sect is really involved? If the Yun Tai Sect really plans to cooperate with the black market, they will definitely not tell a young junior like you."

  Han Yu said firmly, "The Cloud Platform Sect was originally the overlord of Tianmo Ridge, and there is no need to take risks to cooperate with the black market. Chen Ruo, how about we make a deal? I'll escort you back to Tianmo Martial City. Once we return to Tianmo Martial City, you take me to meet the high-level officials of the Wumeng Academy."

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head, saying: "You don't have to follow me, I'll be even safer."

  Han Xuan was still fuming, grinding his teeth non-stop, and said: "No matter what, I am also a strong person on the ground list. Will I still drag your hind legs? Moreover, I have already used the transmission light symbol to send the message back to the Cloud Platform Sect, and I believe that someone will come to our rescue soon."

  "On your body, there's actually a transmission talisman" Zhang Ruochen's eyes sank, and a sense of foreboding emerged.

  Han Yu didn't see Zhang Ruochen's gaze, and said with some pride: "Although the Transmission Light Talisman is expensive, with my status, I naturally carry one on me. At the most critical moment, I can send a message back to the sect and seek help."

  The Luminous Sigil is a treasure made from the "Luminous" series of transmission runes, most of which have only one-time effects and can be used to transmit messages at the fastest speed.

  Of course, the transmission talismans are very difficult to refine, so they are extremely expensive. Each one is worth a city, and even ordinary Tianji realm warriors can't afford them.

  Zhang Ruochen was not surprised to see the transmission talisman on Han Xuan's body, but rather very annoyed, saying: "When you sent the message back to the Cloud Platform Sect, did you mark our location?"

  Han Xiang smiled and said: "I left the unique mark of Yun Tai Zong Fu all along the way, as long as they see the mark, they will catch up soon."

  Zhang Ruochen felt a strong sense of crisis and asked, "Are there members of the royal family from the four vassal states within the upper echelons of the Yun Tai Sect?"

  "There were indeed a few"

  Han Yu's face also changed, saying: "You're worried that they'll leave the Cloud Platform Sect and rush to intercept us."

  "It's not that they're worried, but they must be on their way already." Zhang Ruochen sighed.

  A matter of life and death for the four directions and the country, how could they stand by with folded arms?

  They will definitely pay any price to kill Zhang Ruochen and Han Xiang on their way to the Tianmo Martial City.

  What's even more hateful is that Han Xiao actually left a mark on the road, isn't this seeking death?

  "We have to get out of here, or we'll definitely be caught." Zhang Ruochen's face was solemn, and he had just taken a step forward when his ears suddenly perked up, sensing a dangerous aura rapidly approaching.

  After a moment, the entire snowy plain was filled with the sound of howling wind. A hoarse voice came from within the wind, "What a pity, you've realized too late. Now that you want to leave, it's already too late."

  In the air, the originally free-roaming spiritual energy gathered together, forming two massive wind blades, carrying a tearing force, slashing towards Zhang Ruochen and Han Xuan.

  Standing in the snowy ground, Zhang Ruochen only felt a sharp gust of wind coming from the front, blowing up the thick snow on the ground. In his line of sight, it was completely white and vast.

  "Whoosh whoosh"

  The fine wind was strong, tearing through Zhang Ruochen's true energy shield and ripping his clothes into strips.

  Zhang Ruochen was as solemn as if he were facing a great enemy, his hands tightly grasping the Xuan Yuan Sword. The true energy within him was fully mobilized, and with a loud rumble, a nine-meter-diameter Blood Array appeared beneath his feet, rapidly rotating.

  "Wow"

  The ancient sword in his hand seemed to transform into a bright full moon, slashing towards the giant wind blade that was rushing towards him.

  With a loud "boom", Zhang Ruochen flew backward.

  It was an overwhelming force, and even if Zhang Ruochen used all his might in one sword strike, he would still find it hard to resist.

  After being blown away by the wind, Zhang Ruochen immediately poured all his true energy into the Ice Fire Qilin Armor.

  The pattern on the armor was activated, and a low growl of Qilin sounded faintly. A virtual shadow of an ice and fire Qilin appeared, tightly wrapping Zhang Ruochen.

  "Boom"

  That gust of wind blade slashed onto Zhang Ruochen's body, sending him flying tens of meters away once again. His body directly buried into the bottom of the snow layer.

  In another direction, Han Xiao was also blown away by a gust of wind blade, "Wow" and spat out a mouthful of blood, falling to the ground, smashing a hole with a diameter of over ten meters.

  Boom

  With that large pit as the center, the accumulated snow within dozens of meters was blown up, forming an arc-shaped air wave, which slapped against a row of needle-leaf pine trees on the side, completely icing them over.
