Yue He’s face instantly became ashen, not because she was worried about her artifact. Although it was a good artifact, it wasn’t anything particularly precious, but now that her small boat had been destroyed while she was fleeing, her future was bleak.
Although she knew that Yang Kai was proficient in the Space Laws and was good at escaping, under the pursuit of Scarlet Star, the Space Laws might not be of any use.
Back then, she had chased after Yang Kai in the void and experienced the mysteries of Yang Kai’s Space Teleportation, but in the end, Yang Kai had still been captured. She was a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage while Zhao Baichuan was also a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage. If she had been able to capture Yang Kai, how could Zhao Baichuan not?
Just as she was about to let Yang Kai leave first while he stayed behind to defend, Yang Kai sneered, “If you want to play, this King will play with you and see who can win.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately activated his Space Laws and teleported a thousand kilometers away.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t even a place to hide in this vast void. Even though they had managed to escape a certain distance, they were quickly discovered by the Scarlet Star’s people and continued to pursue them. TheHundred Refined Peaks's speed was ridiculously fast, constantly closing the distance between them.
Yue He said, “Young Master, why don’t we go to the Universe Temple? There is also Universe Temple in this Great Domain. I have left the Universe Escape Seal there so I can bring you there.”
Universe Temple was a fortress jointly built by many Cave Heaven Paradise, and it was a place where all fights were prohibited. As long as they could hide inside the Universe Temple, the two of them would be safe, and Zhao Baichuan and the others would not be able to pursue them in the Universe Temple.
Yang Kai shook his head, “We can hide for now, but we can’t hide forever. Even if we go to the Universe Temple, it’s impossible for us to hide inside forever.”
Yue He thought about it and agreed. Although the Universe Temple was safe, they couldn’t hide inside forever, so she stopped trying to persuade him.
After teleporting, Yang Kai relaxed his mind and allowed Yue He to use her power to wrap around him as they flew. After all, his speed was not as fast as Yue He’s, so it was better for her to take the initiative now.
Behind him, the Hundred Refined Peaks quickly chased after him. After a certain distance, Yang Kai took over and teleported away again.
On the Hundred Refined Peaks, Zhao Baichuan stomped his feet in anger while Chen Tian Fei also cursed loudly. This Yang boy was too good at running. Although he had long heard that those who were proficient in the Space Laws were adept at escaping, it was only today that he truly understood that if he didn’t seal the world around him, it would be impossible to stop him.
However, Yang Kai still maintained a certain distance from them, not giving them a chance to seal the world.
After fleeing for several days, Scarlet Star’s group couldn’t do anything to Yang Kai.
At a certain moment, Yue He suddenly exclaimed, “Young Master, a few of them ran out.”
Yang Kai turned his head and saw several figures descending from Hundred Refined Peaks. Immediately after, they changed their hand seals and the light of a Spirit Array appeared beneath their feet.
It was the light of Universe Escape Law.
He couldn’t help snorting coldly, “They went to Universe Temple.”
The direction the two of them were heading towards was the direction of Universe Temple, where this Great Domain was located. Scarlet Star's people probably thought that they wanted to enter the Universe Temple to seek refuge, so they sent out a few people to intercept them.
Unbeknownst to them, if Yang Kai and Yue He really wanted to go to the Universe Temple, they would have done so long ago, so how could they have flown there so foolishly?
However, this was also the result Yang Kai wanted.
Seeing these people leave, Yang Kai immediately told Yue He to change direction.
On Hundred Refined Peaks, Zhao Baichuan was so angry he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. How could he not know that he had fallen into Yang Kai’s trap? However, it was too late to regret now. Those Open Heaven Stage masters had already gone to the Universe Temple and were too far away to be contacted in a short time.
Chen Tian Fei asked in confusion, “Where is this brat going?”
Zhao Baichuan didn’t know, but after two days, he understood Yang Kai’s plan. He was going to leave this great domain and enter another.
In front of the Domain Gate, Yang Kai activated the Domain Shuttle and entered another Great Domain with Yue He.
Half an hour later, Hundred Refined Peaks plunged into the Domain Gate, but as far as the eye could see, the surrounding void was completely empty and Yang Kai was nowhere to be seen.
“Find him! Even if we have to dig ten meter into the ground, we must find him! If we miss this opportunity, there won’t be a next time!” Zhao Baichuan shouted angrily.
On Hundred Refined Peaks, nearly thirty figures immediately flew out. Some immediately scattered in all directions while others used the Universe Escape Law to head to the Universe Temple.
Zhao Baichuan himself was leading the Hundred Refined Peaks forward, continuing to search.
However, with Yang Kai’s actions, he had no choice but to split up his forces. Currently, there were only a dozen or so Open Heaven Stage masters left on the Hundred Refined Peaks. The more people who activated this artifact, the more powerful it became and the faster it became. Now, there were only a dozen or so of them left, and their speed had greatly decreased.
Soon, one of his subordinates found traces of Yang Kai and, judging from his movements, he was heading towards the Domain Gate.
Silently taking out the Universe Chart and checking its location, Zhao Baichuan decisively put away the Hundred Refined Peaks and together with the remaining Open Heaven Stage masters, he activated the Universe Escape Law and flew towards this domain's Universe Temple.
Without stopping to rest, he rushed out of the Universe Temple and met up with one of his subordinates, who immediately reported, “Chief Manager, we’ve found out that the two who came to the Universe Temple before have gone in that direction!”
What else was there to say? Summoning the Hundred Refined Peaks again, Zhao Baichuan waved his hand, “Chase!”
Two days later, Yang Kai and Yue He appeared in the distance.
In front of him, Yang Kai also noticed this and turned his head, his face turning black as he muttered, “They’re like lingering ghosts!” Scarlet Star and the others were like maggots that couldn’t be shaken off.
Yue He said, “Young Master, why don’t you seek refuge in my Cuiwei Palace?”
Cuiwei Palace was her force, and according to the division of these Three Thousand Worlds, with her, a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage master, it could barely be classified as a Second Class Force, but the actual situation was a bit complicated because Cuiwei Palace only had her, an Open Heaven Stage master, and that was only a very small Spirit Province. Besides her, the rest of the people were only Emperor Realm or cultivators under Emperor Realm.
In the entire Cuiwei Palace, there were only a few hundred people, so strictly speaking, Cuiwei Palace was not qualified to be called a second class Sect, because even if there was a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, there is no inheritance, and it would disappear sooner or later.
Even so, Yue He had managed Cuiwei Palace for many years and had a certain amount of defensive power there. As long as she could reach Cuiwei Palace, she wouldn’t need to fear these people from Scarlet Star.
“Where is the Cuiwei Palace?” Yang Kai asked.
Yue He took out the Universe Chart and poured her strength into it before pointing out a location, “Here!”
Yang Kai looked around for a moment before slowly shaking his head, “It’s too far, we still have to pass through seven great domains, we can’t make it in time.” If he wanted to pass through seven great domains, there were too many unforeseen events along the way.
“Then what should we do?” Yue He also had no idea.
Yang Kai said, “I have a place to go, but we need to take a risk!”
Originally, he had wanted to escape back to the First Inn, but now it seemed that he would not be able to. The First Inn was also very far away, and he would have to pass through several great domains. Rather than that, it would be better to take a risk. At worst, he would have to seek refuge in the Universe Temple.
Three days later, the two of them passed through the Domain Gate and entered the next Great Domain.
In less than two hours, the Hundred Refined Peaks had caught up to them, showing just how fast they were. If Yang Kai hadn’t relied on his Space Ability, he would have been driven into a corner.
This time, Zhao Baichuan had learned his lesson and immediately sent his subordinates to the various Domain Gates to seal off the main road, preventing Yang Kai from escaping again.
Along the way, the dozens of Open Heaven Stage masters under his command had been scattered, but during the pursuit, there had been another group of people who had reunited with him, so there were still more than thirty people under his command.
Although Yang Kai had Yue He, a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage, beside him, no one else in Scarlet Star was their opponent, there were several Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage on their side. As long as they were distributed appropriately, it wouldn’t be a problem for them to restrain Yue He.
Immediately, Chen Tian Fei and Lady Qin left with several Low Rank Open Heaven Stage masters, while the Ouyang Brothers and Bei Yushan left with a group of people while Zhao Baichuan personally chased after Yang Kai.
A few days later, the fleeing Yang Kai and Yue He suddenly stopped and stood in the void.
Seeing this, Zhao Baichuan’s brow wrinkled. He didn’t know what kind of scheme Yang Kai was plotting, but he made up his mind that this time, no matter how eloquent he was, he would just capture him.
Activating the Hundred Refined Peaks, Zhao Baichuan sneered, “Run, why aren’t you running anymore?”
“I can’t run anymore,” Yang Kai grinned.
Zhao Baichuan coldly snorted, “If that’s the case, then obediently surrender and avoid suffering some physical pain.”
Yang Kai said, “Chief Manager, aren’t you afraid that Madam Lan will pursue this matter if you act against me? My family’s Proprietress is extremely protective of her own people. If you provoke her into acting out, I’m afraid you won’t have a good ending.”
Everyone knew that Old Bai’s promotion to Open Heaven had been disrupted, so in a fit of anger, she had sworn to flatten the Gold Rainbow Province and other forces behind Qi Jin's scheme, otherwise she would never be able to break through to the Seventh Order in this lifetime. Such an oath showed her determination, and if she couldn’t do it, she would never be able to break through to the Seventh Order.
Hearing Yang Kai mention the Proprietress, Zhao Baichuan’s face showed a trace of fear. Although he had been trying to break through to the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage, his foundation was still lacking, so he naturally couldn’t compare to a veteran Sixth Order Open Heaven like the Proprietress. If he was really targeted by her, Scarlet Star would be finished.
However, this hesitation only lasted for an instant. Yang Kai’s immense wealth tempted him greatly, and he coldly snorted, “As long as I kill you, how could Lan Youruo know what happened?”
Yang Kai nodded, “So Chief Manager wants to exterminate me, do you want me to obediently surrender?”
“Do you really believe a casual remark?” Zhao Baichuan sneered. As he spoke, he was already several hundred kilometers away and was about to reach his limit. In the next moment, he would be able to seal off Yang Kai’s position to prevent him from using his Space Laws again.
At this moment, Yang Kai suddenly grinned at him and waved his hand, “The Chief Manager's gift today will be engraved in this Foreign Elder's heart. In the future, I will definitely repay you generously!”
Zhao Baichuan had a bad feeling about this and couldn’t care less. He raised his hand towards Yang Kai and shouted, “Where are you going!”
A giant hand descended and grabbed towards the void, but at the same time, Yang Kai and Yue He disappeared.
Zhao Baichuan quickly checked his surroundings, but Yang Kai was nowhere to be seen. His Divine Sense also lost Yang Kai’s aura.
“How is that possible?” Zhao Baichuan was stunned.
