“How did a Crown Prince from the Beast Court find me!?”

 

Chu Xiao was flabbergasted as Uncle Fu was taking him to escape. He finally realised what was going on. His entire figure trembled, and his limbs turned cold. But now, it was pointless for him to be furious.

 

Even Uncle Fu donned a solemn expression. This was a perilous situation, so he felt they might not be able to get through the crisis.

 

Purple Return City was too far apart from the Land of Celestial Suffering. Even if Chu Gucheng realised they were in danger, he could not immediately come over.

 

“Where do you think you’re going? Even if Chu Gucheng is here, he can’t save you!” Di Kun looked dispassionately at Chu Xiao and the others with cruelty and disdain.

 

He could see that Uncle Fu had merely gone through his Third Decay Tribulation. There was no way he could stop him.

 

Also, even if Chu Xiao had a protective treasure given by Chu Gucheng, he could never withstand his attacks.

 

The two of them were ready to be slaughtered by Di Kun. Nothing would go wrong.

 

Uncle Fu donned a dark expression, knowing that he could not flee with Chu Xiao. Di Kun was far more powerful than he was. Moreover, he was not adept at fighting and was much weaker than cultivators in the same Realm.

 

“Do you intend to initiate a war between the Land of Celestial Suffering and the Beast Court?” He solemnly questioned, hoping to stall for time. At the same time, he secretly contacted the powerful cultivators from the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

However, Di Kun had seen through his intention. He sneered. “I’ve said that even if Chu Gucheng is here, he can’t save you. Don’t even try to stall for time. When that man from the Land of Celestial Suffering killed my Ninth Brother, did he consider the retribution? Chu Gucheng will pay for his decision to protect him.”

 

When he swept a glance over the area, the world trembled and the universe was on the brink of falling apart.

 

Chu Xiao could not withstand the gaze, so he sprayed out a mouthful of blood. He felt like his body was about to explode. Blood streamed out of his nose and mouth. His bones were heard cracking. His spine was about to break.

 

It was his first time feeling that he might actually die. His face turned pale, and he could hardly conceal his fear.

 

“Young Master! I have an Exotic Treasure given by His Majesty that might stop him for a while! During this period, you have to do everything you can and use all the treasures you have to run to the Land of Celestial Suffering.”

 

Uncle Fu was withstanding the immense pressure with a solemn expression. His hunched figure was quivering.

 

He quickly sent a Voice Transmission to Chu Xiao while getting ready to do all he could to stop Di Kun. Nevertheless, he was not certain if Chu Xiao could survive.

 

Upon hearing that, Chu Xiao could not conceal his fear. He said, “Uncle Fu, given my own strength, I won’t make it. Even if I use all the Teleportation Talismans given by my Siblings, I’m worried that person will still catch up to me soon. You have to do all you can to stall for time for me. I don’t want to die here. As long as I survive, I’ll avenge your death. My Father is powerful. He’ll surely retaliate against the enemy.”

 

He had never been in a despairing situation like this. Fear and distress were written all over his face.

 

At this moment, he loathed the person who had killed the Ninth Crown Prince of the Beast Court. The enemy was supposed get the murderer, but he came looking for Chu Xiao instead.

 

Although Uncle Fu was fully aware of Chu Xiao’s temperament, he still felt his heart turning cold when he heard the latter’s words in this despairing situation.

 

Chu Gucheng was always calm and collected during a crisis, and he was grateful. In comparison, Chu Xiao was nothing like his Father.

 

But now, Uncle Fu did not say anything else. After all, he was only an old servant. Everything he possessed was given by Chu Gucheng. He was more than willing to sacrifice himself to save the life of Chu Gucheng’s Son.

 

“Don’t worry, Young Master. I’ll do all I can to stall for time for you.” Uncle Fu sighed and turned solemn.

 

His hunched back suddenly straightened. His white hair swayed with the wind as his eyes burned like flames. The next moment, he stepped forward and stared fixedly at Di Kun. Stars seemed to be gathering between his sleeves, after which he cast his attack at the enemy.

 

“You’re overestimating yourself.” Di Kun hovered in mid-air and snorted, knowing Uncle Fu’s intention. At the same time, he also pushed out his palm.

 

When a boom was heard, the entire universe shuddered as Principles clashed. The sky seemed ready to fall from above.

 

Everyone in Purple Return City felt their bodies tightening.

 

The battle between two Dao Realm experts was horrifying. Even a tiny bit of the aftershock could tear the universe apart.

 

Seizing the chance, Chu Xiao gritted his teeth and fished out a talisman. He tore it, ready to leave.

 

“Don’t leave me here, Young Master!” Chu Lingxiao was Chu Xiao’s favourite lackey, but he was pale and fearful at this moment. After all, Chu Xiao was obviously about to ditch him.

 

Chu Xiao turned to look at him with hesitation, but soon, it was replaced by the fear of imminent death.

 

Although he had many protective treasures, they were useless against a Dao Realm expert. If he took Chu Lingxiao with him, he would waste even more time and energy.

 

[Uncle Fu is sacrificing himself to stall for time, I can’t waste this chance on him. I’ll avenge his death in the future!] Determination was written all over Chu Xiao’s face. As the void before his eyes blurred, he disappeared into it, ignoring the despondent Chu Lingxiao.

 

Many cultivators and living beings in Purple Return City saw the sight. They understood that Chu Xiao had done nothing wrong during a life-and-death moment like this.

 

However, previously, Chu Xiao had summoned a horrifying Forbidden Artifact in Waterfront Chamber and killed many innocent cultivators. Now, they were pleased to see what was going on, thinking that Chu Xiao had gotten his retribution.

 

[A Crown Prince from the Beast Court has come to get his revenge, and is extremely powerful. I’m afraid the Young Master from the Land of Celestial Suffering won’t get through this crisis.]

 

Many cultivators were gleeful, believing that Chu Xiao would not be able to get out of the woods.

 

The battle between Uncle Fu and Di Kun soon affected the entire Southbarren Ancient Territory. On the battlefield outside the world, their enormous Dharma Bodies were battling against each other. The River of Time turned into fragments and surrounded them.

 

They were clashing with each other in the universe.

 

Some dull thunder was heard coming from the end of Heaven and Earth. Countless Principles were clashing.

 

Like countless leaves that were intertwining with one another and dancing together, they slashed across Spacetime and Destiny, illuminating the originally dark sky.

 

The next moment, all of them heard the cawing of a Golden Crow. The sounds reverberated across the entire world and carried the power of the Great Dao.

 

After that, a hunched figure fell from the sky while spitting blood, which dyed half of the universe red. Then, he crashed into the Southbarren Ancient Territory. It was a wonder whether he was dead or alive.

 

“How dare you stop me when you’re so weak?” Di Kun’s sneer made the sky tremble. His voice was full of disdain. As he stepped forward, he disappeared and went to run after Chu Xiao.

 

He had a terrifying power. It took him fewer than 100 moves to destroy Uncle Fu, and it was because Uncle Fu had a powerful Treasure on him.

 

If not for the fact that he had to run after Chu Xiao, he would’ve killed Uncle Fu right there and then.

 

Anyway, Uncle Fu was being burned by the True Flames of the Sun. The ripples of the Great Dao were wearing away his vitality. Since his Life Force was drained, he would find it hard to live for much longer.
