"Let's go."
Gu Xingnan said in a deep voice that staying any longer would only bring further embarrassment. With Yan Chihuo around, his action this time had been a complete failure.
Whoosh~
Following Gu Xingnan's words, the three of them activated their flying martial arts, transformed into streams of light, and flew away into the distance.
"Hero, why don't you just kill them?" Xuankong Snake looked at Gu Xingnan and the other two who were leaving, and said unwillingly.
If his strength was not enough, he would definitely catch up and leave Gu Xingnan and the other two behind.
"Gu Xingnan's identity is somewhat special. The most important thing is that he has already arrived." Yan Chihuo said calmly.
Who
Could it be...
Yang Qi's eyes focused. The person Yan Chihuo was talking about was most likely Wu Xingkong, the powerful Wu King who was in charge of Wu Zhou Academy!
It's not surprising to think about it. The other party loves Gu Xingnan so much. If he gets a message for help, he will probably come as soon as possible. With a powerful martial king by his side, Yan Chihuo can't kill Gu Xingnan at all!
Yan Chihuo just wanted to teach Gu Xingnan a lesson, so the powerful Wu Wang would not take action. If Yan Chihuo wanted to kill Gu Xingnan, Wu Xingkong would definitely stop him.
“Boy, nothing good will come of meeting you. I’m leaving first.” The Xuankong Snake glared at Yang Qi, its body flashed, and it turned into a residual shadow, rushing towards the depths of the Northern Wilderness.
"This little snake is quite interesting." Looking at the departing Xuankong Snake, Yan Chihuo couldn't help but chuckle.
Yang Qi asked curiously, "Second Brother, why are you here?"
He had not asked for help from the Tianjian Sect before. After all, Yang Qi did not expect Gu Xingnan to be so persistent. He was swept away by the beast tide, and the other party actually came to investigate in person, leaving him no time to ask for help.
"Master has known about the big incident you have caused in the Great Zhou Empire during this period of time, and he notified the nearby disciples of the Tianjian Sect to help. I happened to be nearby, so I rushed over." Yan Chihuo said with a smile.
It turned out to be Master.
Yang Qi gave a bitter smile. Apparently, the big commotion he and Feng Yan had caused in the ancient city of Nanyan some time ago had spread. Although other people did not know that it was Yang Qi who had caused the commotion in the ancient city of Nanyan, it was not difficult for familiar practitioners to determine that it was Yang Qi.
"Brother, how do you know I'm here?" Yang Qi asked.
The Northern Wilderness is not small. Even if Yan Chihuo is a nine-star martial master, it is not easy to find him. However, Yan Chihuo saved Liu Ren just when he took action. This is too much of a coincidence.
"I heard that the Wu Zhou Academy was searching for something in the Northern Wilderness. I guessed that they were looking for you, so I planned to secretly follow the practitioners of the Wu Zhou Academy. As long as they don't find you, you won't be in danger. If they find you, I can also save you." Yan Chihuo said.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. It was too difficult to find someone in the Northern Wilderness. But if he was looking for a practitioner from the Wu Zhou Academy who was conducting a high-profile and large-scale search, it would be easier.
"I didn't expect a beast tide to break out suddenly at this time, so I had to retreat. I happened to meet Liu Ren, and then I found that he was rushing in one direction, so I followed him secretly." Yan Chihuo said slowly.
I see!
Yang Qi now understood why Yan Chihuo arrived right after Liu Ren. It turned out that Yan Chihuo came to follow Liu Ren.
It must be said that this beast tide helped Yang Qi a lot. If it weren't for the beast tide, he would have been discovered by the practitioners of Wu Zhou Academy early on, and he could only use the Phoenix Feather to save his life. Although the Phoenix Feather was enough to support him until Yan Chihuo came to rescue him, the Phoenix Feather, a life-saving item, would be consumed.
"What are your plans next?" Yan Chihuo looked at Yang Qi.
"I plan to go back to the sect first." Yang Qi said.
"It's just right. I also have to go back to the sect. You should go back with me. If you stay alone near the Great Zhou Empire, there is no guarantee that Gu Xingnan will not attack you again." Yan Chihuo said with a smile.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. Even though Gu Xingnan retreated this time, it was because Yan Chihuo was there. If there was a chance to kill him, Gu Xingnan would never give up.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The two figures turned into streams of light and flew towards the north. With Yan Chihuo, the two naturally did not need to go to the southwest or the Great Zhou Empire, and could easily cross the depths of the Ferocious Beast Mountains.
…
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
In mid-air, three figures flew towards the direction of the Great Zhou Empire. They were Gu Xingnan and his two companions.
Gu Xingnan's face was grim, and he roared, "Damn it, if Yan Chihuo hadn't shown up halfway, Yang Qi would have been dead."
After these words were spoken, Zhao Chen and Liu Ren on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Junior Brother Gu, you are still young and have a long time in the future. There is no need to rush at this moment." Liu Ren said helplessly.
"Elder Liu is right. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. This time Yang Qi was just lucky. He won't be so lucky next time." Zhao Chen on the side also said hurriedly.
“With Yang Qi’s growth rate, if we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to kill him again.” Gu Xingnan sighed lightly. If he wanted to deal with Yang Qi again, other practitioners might not help him easily. After all, the lineage of Yang Qi’s master had a great deterrent effect on practitioners in the Martial Honor Realm.
"Humph~ A little Yang Qi makes you shrink back?"
At this moment, a sudden voice was heard, filling the entire world. As the voice sounded, a figure appeared directly in front of the three people.
"Meet the Grandmaster."
"Greetings, sir!"
Seeing the person coming, Gu Xingnan and the other two's faces changed slightly, and they immediately became respectful. The person who suddenly arrived was none other than the powerful Wu King who was in charge of the Wu Zhou Academy, Wu Xingkong!
"Do you know you are wrong?" Wu Xingkong said calmly, his eyes falling on Gu Xingnan.
"Disciple knows his mistake." Gu Xingnan said quickly.
"What's wrong?"
"Disciple shouldn't ask senior brothers to help."
"That's good to know!" Wu Xingkong looked at Gu Xingnan and said slowly, "How can I let others handle my own grudges?"
"Disciple will remember the master's teachings."
Gu Xingnan said respectfully.
“This time I am teaching you a lesson, letting you know that a cultivator’s own strength is the foundation. If you are strong enough, even Yan Chihuo cannot stop you. If you are not strong enough, even in a one-on-one fight, you are not Yang Qi’s opponent.” Wu Xingkong said calmly.
"Your Excellency was here too just now?" Liu Ren was stunned when he heard this.
"If you weren't here, do you think Yan Chihuo would let you go so easily?" Wu Xingkong snorted coldly.
Upon hearing this, the faces of Gu Xingnan and the other two changed. If Wu Xingkong had not been in the dark, they might have died. Just as Yan Chihuo said, there were countless disciples of King Wu who had died in history, let alone the three of them.
“Are you scared now?” Looking at Gu Xingnan who looked scared, Wu Xingkong said coldly, “This time when I returned to the sect, you practiced with me for a while. During this time, you have been a little slack in your practice. A Yang Qi has made you shrink back. How can you reach the Martial King realm in the future!”
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Gu Xingnan immediately responded respectfully.
Liu Ren and Zhao Chen standing by had a flash of envy on their faces. Following a powerful martial king cultivator was something that ordinary cultivators could not even ask for, but the punishments that Gu Xingnan received were all from cultivators who followed a powerful martial king cultivator. How could this not make people jealous! (To be continued)
