With that thought, all three’s attention wandered as they fought, and the pressure on Bai Yang was greatly reduced as he fought back fiercely, not allowing any of them to run away.
For a moment, no one could overpower the other.
“Preposterous!” The most impatient one out of the three yelled in anger, brandishing his natal sword. In a flash of blinding light, spiritual power swept across the area like a tornado.
The others wouldn’t let themselves be outdone, brandishing their own natal weapons as well, seeking to end it all as quickly as possible, heading towards Zhou Ying to s.n.a.t.c.h the Dragon Blade.
The cultivation methods of the demon race differed to that of the humans. Generally speaking, the demon race didn’t have any weapons that connected to their life force, their bodies are their strongest weapons. On the flip side, human cultivators liked to forge natal weapons for life-saving purposes.
As the three people have already taken out their natal weapons, Bai Yang didn’t dare be careless, hurriedly releasing all of his strength, the magic power surrounding him expanded as it hit the peak. Although his power was suppressed after arriving in the human realm, it was still very formidable.
He could feel that the battle between the male lead and Phoenix City’s Lord would be ending soon, he just needed to stall for a bit more time.
Releasing his powers, the strong black magic spread, enveloping the place where the four fought. The wind howled, Bai Yang’s hair and clothes flapped around, and you could see a hint of red in his eyes.
The three people were shocked, taking a step back, astonished by Bai Yang’s power.
With the suppression of three Boundary Pillars, the strength of the demon race couldn’t be released, but the power that this person in front of them displayed was one hundred percent extremely strong, maybe even of the River Crossing Stage! That is to say, his original power is even stronger than what was being displayed right now!
The three didn’t dare be careless anymore, moving into a defensive position one after the other.
The power released from a fight between high-level masters attracted the gaze of many from all over, Bai Yang could feel that there were countless figures from all around Phoenix City rushing over to where he and the male lead were.
He couldn’t keep stalling, if too many people were to arrive, even he himself wouldn’t be able to escape.
Seeing that it was about time, Bai Yang decided that the best option was to flee, magic power condensed at his hands, but nothing happened. As the three people were distracted, he quickly ran away.
The fight on the male lead’s side also came to an end, as Zhou Ying also used the last of his power to flee.
Bai Yang had left a bit of his power on the male lead’s body to trace him, so he hurriedly went after him, flipping over a mountain and bursting into another ravine.
The human cultivators were left far behind in the dust.
After jumping into the ravine, Zhou Ying’s figure slowed down, stumbling forwards before collapsing in the gra.s.s, probably from exhausting all of his power.
As for Feng Ming, she was probably stopped by the City’s Lord, unable to come and help.
Bai Yang could feel that the male lead’s spirituality was drained to the point that there was barely any left, even a significantly strong ordinary person would be able to kill him right now.
It looks like he was heavily injured in the fight against Phoenix City’s Lord.
Bai Yang was about to walk out, but he suddenly felt a familiar figure moving over. He paused in his steps and a shadow flashed by him, heading directly towards the frightened male lead that also felt the threatening presence .
At that moment, Bai Yang didn’t think before rushing forward to block that shadow’s path.
“Xie Zetian, what is the meaning of this?” Lou Jianfeng landed with an ice-cold expression, staring at Bai Yang in bewilderment.
Bai Yang looked at his handsome but darkened face, a voice inside him screaming——holy s.h.i.t, I’m done for now!
Xiao Ling was also shocked: “It’s Lou Jianfeng! He didn’t leave just then?”
Bai Yang was shocked as well, he never would have thought Lou Jianfeng would suddenly show up! Many ideas flashed through his head as his thoughts were clearer than ever before, perhaps from being forced into a corner like this.
Lou Jianfeng’s appearance wasn’t just a coincidence. He was too careless, Lou Jianfeng appeared to be persuaded, even calling back the guards right in front of him, making him think that he succeeded in fooling him. In reality, Lou Jianfeng didn’t believe a word he said, and had followed him the entire way, preparing to catch him in the act and reap the benefits.
This person was crafty and scheming, no wonder he turned the human realm upside down after the Demon King gave him the responsibility of attacking.
After thinking this through, Bai Yang knew that Lou Jianfeng very likely suspects him.
But he still had to do whatever it took to save himself.
Bai Yang spoke coldly on purpose: “Master Lou, I also want to ask what the meaning of this is.”
Lou Jianfeng raised an eyebrow, “Master Xie, I am only doing my job as His Highness orders, but Master Xie has been shielding Zhou Ying the entire time, who knows what you’re planning!”
Bai Yang grit his teeth, now’s not the time to care about anything else, he could put on airs and lie, “Master Lou, I am acting according to His Highness’ orders, you do not have the right to get involved!”
“His Highness’ orders?”
Bai Yang raised his chin, “That’s right, Zhou Ying is to be left to me, I will bring him back to the demon realm.”
Lou Jianfeng wasn’t easy to fool, his gaze was cold, “His Highness’ order was to kill him on sight, I don’t know why His Highness would suddenly change his mind and keep him alive, furthermore, I was never informed.”
“It was all very sudden, His Highness sent out the order at the last moment.” Bai Yang wasn’t afraid at all, he knew that he couldn’t make any mistakes. He said sternly: “Is it my job to care about what His Highness is thinking? His Highness has his own reasons, and he doesn’t need to inform you of everything. In short, Zhou Ying is mine to take away.”
Lou Jianfeng’s expression turned colder, “Zhou Ying is the Son of Destiny, he must die.”
It was written clearly on his face that there was no room for discussion, drawing his sword and attacking as soon as he spoke. Not to be outdone, Bai Yang counterattacked. Both of them were strong amongst the strong, neither could overpower the other.
In the midst of their fight, they suddenly stopped, they could feel the many people that chased over from all directions.
Lou Jianfeng was afraid that he would be exposed, not daring to use his magic, immediately adjusting his spirituality to yell loudly, “Zhou Ying is over here!”
Bai Yang was shocked, he didn’t think Lou Jianfeng would use a dirty trick like that. Calling everyone over meant that he was h.e.l.l-bent on killing the male lead, not fearing his ident.i.ty being exposed anymore.
Bai Yang threatened angrily, “Lou Jianfeng! You dare call everyone over here, are you not afraid that I’ll expose your ident.i.ty?”
Lou Jianfeng laughed loudly, “Master Xie should worry about himself first, do you think they’ll trust you over me? Xie Zetian, you only have one choice now, leave Zhou Ying behind and run!”
Lou Jianfeng wanted to force Bai Yang to leave without Zhou Ying.
Bai Yang said fiercely, “You dare disobey His Highness’ orders, he won’t forgive you for it.”
“Heh, I did a great service and killed the Son of Destiny for His Highness, how could he kill me? But you on the other hand, giving out fake orders in His Highness’ name, what punishment will you suffer?” Lou Jianfeng said sternly.
At this point, both sides already tore into each other. Bai Yang didn’t dwell on the matter anymore, grabbing the still confused Zhou Ying and running.
Behind him, Lou Jianfeng yelled, “Zhou Ying is being taken away by the demon race!”
Bai Yang cursed his mom a thousand times in his head, after what Lou Jianfeng said, the rumor that Zhou Ying was colluding with the demon race would basically be confirmed. How could this guy be so crafty!
Lou Jianfeng gave chase, but because he didn’t use all his power in fear of exposing himself, Bai Yang could still escape. However, countless people have already arrived around the ravine, including the three masters that he fought before, as well as Phoenix City’s Lord.
They were surrounded on all sides.
If Bai Yang gave up on Zhou Ying, he would have no problem creating an opening to escape from, but there was no way he could leave Zhou Ying and not care about whether he died or not.
He was extremely anxious, it was a hopeless situation.
……No, there was still one way.
Bai Yang threw Zhou Ying to the ground, squatting down next to him: “Hurry and open the Mysterious Dragon Domain inside your sword, we’ll go in there.”
Zhou Ying was already a bit numb to it all after going through all these events, but hearing his words, he was still a bit shocked, blurting out: “How did you know about the Mysterious Dragon Domain?”
How did I know? Because I read the novel!
Bai Yang shook him with a fierce expression, “Now’s not the time! Hurry and open the domain!”
“I can’t open it. If I could, I would’ve done it a long time ago, I wouldn’t have needed to get myself into all this trouble.” Zhou Ying laughed bitterly.
The Dragon Blade told him how to enter the Mysterious Dragon Domain, and he knew that by doing so, he could escape pursuit. But he couldn’t, because the condition for entering the domain was that his cultivation level reached the Mahayana Stage. He forced his level up just before, but now it’s already beginning to drop.
Bai Yang read the novel, and found the reason with Xiao Ling’s help. He calmed himself down before saying: “You broke through the Mahayana Stage just then, combined with my power, it’s enough to open it right now.”
Zhou Ying reacted immediately, that’s right, this person was extremely strong, with his help, he might be able to succeed. Besides, in a situation like this, he could only try every method there was.
“Let me try.”
Zhou Ying summoned the Dragon Blade, it flew up towards the sky with hum. Zhou Ying sat cross-legged on the gra.s.s and mumbled the words while Bai Yang stood behind him, transferring his power.
They were running out of time, the people chasing after them were getting closer and closer, about to find their location.
Zhou Ying suddenly opened his eyes, “it’s open!”
A vortex suddenly appeared midair, splitting open to reveal a huge black hole.
Without hesitation, Bai Yang grabbed onto Zhou Ying and jumped into the hole.
Bai Yang and the male lead jumped into the hole at the risk of their lives, at the same moment, a group of small black dots appeared on the pure snow far north, they were very fast, even the harsh blizzard didn’t affect their ability to move at a speed faster than most people.
Their destination was Phoenix City.
After a spell of dizziness making him want to throw up, Bai Yang fell to the hard ground with a plop.
“Are you okay?” Zhou Ying’s concerned voice sounded beside him.
The darkness in Bai Yang’s vision gradually disappeared, and the surrounding sights came into view.
It was a large room with four walls made of solid stone without any windows or doors, like someone dug out a room inside a rock.
The room was quite s.p.a.cious and completely empty with nothing inside.
“This is the Mysterious Dragon Domain?”
Bai Yang was a bit stunned, from the description in the novel, the Mysterious Dragon Domain is a place formed by the Dragon Blade, with many rooms, each of them filled with various treasures. But this empty room told Bai Yang that that wasn’t true.
The male lead Zhou Ying’s face was still pale, walking over to say: “This is indeed the Mysterious Dragon Domain, the Dragon Blade told me so.”
Bai Yang turned, suddenly realizing something different and he couldn’t help but ask: “Where’s your sword? Where did the Dragon Blade go?”
Zhou Ying said: “It disappeared, in this Mysterious Dragon Domain, we’ll only be able to see it when we leave this room/”
Bai Yang immediately said: “Then let’s leave as soon as possible.”
He originally hoped he would be able to save the male lead without any problems, then return to Anning Village to await the Demon King’s return, but you can’t always get what you want. Now with his falling out with Lou Jianfeng, the Demon King will find out soon, and he reckons he wouldn’t even be able to return to the demon realm.
Bai Yang felt extremely depressed.
“We can’t leave now.” Zhou Ying said, “The Mysterious Dragon Domain is a refined domain, I can only open its doors once I’m truly at the Mahayana Stage, but my cultivation level has already dropped.”
Zhou Ying laughed bitterly.
Bai Yang stared, asking: “Can I open it?”
Zhou Ying said: “This is my refined domain, you probably won’t be able to, but you can try.”
Before he finished talking, Bai Yang already struck the wall with his magic power. But the power that could once sweep the world was like it struck water in this room, completely absorbed by the water, not even creating a ripple.
Unwilling to give up, he continued to strike the wall in rapid succession, but to no avail.
Bai Yang’s frowned.
The Mysterious Dragon Domain could indeed be used to escape death, but being unable to leave was another problem in itself.
