Chapter 408: 242 Escape

Fang Zhixing lowered his head and flipped over the Black Jade Plate.

On the back, there indeed was a simple map, very roughly drawn and blurry.

It was like a sketch!

But as Fang Zhixing’s gaze focused,

suddenly, the map became clear. Not only did it have detailed annotations, but it was also three-dimensional.

It somewhat resembled a navigation map.

"This is freaking high-tech!"

Fang Zhixing was greatly shocked.

As expected of the Heavenly People, a casual creation from them was eye-opening.

"Heavenly People, somewhat like gods and buddhas, but not exactly..."

Fang Zhixing’s mind was somewhat chaotic.

Honestly, his abrupt contact with this world’s most mysterious existence left him utterly unprepared.

Moreover, his level was too low. Merely obtaining a tiny fraction of their power had nearly killed him.

The power of the Heavenly People, boundless!

Beyond imagination, indescribable!

Fang Zhixing quickly calmed himself and thought about any other doubts he had not asked, then spoke, "Last night, I encountered a metal monster, what was that?"

The small ax suddenly became impatient, shaking its head, "You are too curious, that’s not a good trait."

Fang Zhixing was at a loss for words, looking at the small ax and managing a bitter smile, "Okay then, how should I address you, senior?"

The small ax responded, "Remember, my name is Tian Yin."

Heavenly People, with Heaven as their surname!

Fang Zhixing then asked, "How much longer until you undergo your Tribulation?"

"Hard to say."

Tian Yin also felt helpless and said gloomily, "I thought I would undergo my Tribulation soon, but it’s been delayed again and again. Still can’t squeeze out a fart."

It was a difficult birth!

Fang Zhixing secretly sneered, stood up, and looked around, "With strong enemies lurking outside, how do I leave this place?"

After saying this, Fang Zhixing’s face showed a look of expectation.

He dared not personally test how powerful the martial force of the Heavenly People was. Let those great enemies outside give it a try.

Tian Yin glanced at the Heavenly Locust, then glared and said, "I can’t make a move right now, help him out."

"It’s a small matter."

Heavenly Locust slightly smiled and stood up, saying, "Coincidentally, I wanted to test how much my power has improved after rebirth."

He slightly lifted his head and lightly beckoned.

Immediately, a buzzing sound arose in the world.

Fang Zhixing shivered and looked around.

He then realized that at some point, a large number of locusts had gathered from all directions.

These locusts were huge, longer than an adult’s palm.

A black giant locust landed on Heavenly Locust’s fingertip.

Heavenly Locust blew gently on it.

The giant locust trembled all over, its body visibly swelling at a rapid pace.

Its hind legs extended further, becoming even more robust.

In a breath’s time, the giant locust transformed into a three-meter long locust beast, standing upright.

Its two pairs of wings stretched out, wide and long, like butterfly wings.

The hind legs were even thicker, like an adult’s thighs, capable of standing upright.

Apparently, this giant locust had evolved into a Second Level Mutant Beast.

Fang Zhixing’s expression fluctuated, and he exclaimed in shock, "Is this the effect of the power of the Heavenly People, being able to instantly turn an insect into a Mutant Beast?"

The Heavenly Locust couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head, "No, I merely stimulated the locust’s own potential. Of course, its transformation in such a short time comes at a great cost, it only has less than a day of life left."

At this point, he said meaningfully, "Hero, I advise you not to delve too deeply into what the power of the Heavenly People is. The less you know, the better actually."

Think about it, a big reason you survived this time is because you knew little and didn’t mess around."

Fang Zhixing’s mouth twitched fiercely.

That’s called "not messing around"?

What would have happened if he seriously did?

From another angle, the Heavenly Locust was clearly telling Fang Zhixing not to expect his help in improving his cultivation.

The power of the Heavenly People is not for serving mortals!

The Second Level giant locust came over and dutifully crouched in front of Fang Zhixing.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing asked, "Can it understand my commands?"

Heavenly Locust laughed, "Of course it can’t, but it can understand your hand gestures. Just point where you want it to fly."

Fang Zhixing understood, lightly tapped with his toes, and floatingly landed on the back of the locust beast, sitting cross-legged.

He lifted his hand and pointed south.

Whoosh~

The locust beast flapped its wings and took off, very stable, first climbing upward, then rapidly flying towards the South Gate.

Fang Zhixing looked down as he was only thirty meters above the ground, the entire scene inside the city in plain sight.

It was covered in ruins.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted, noticing a place with a faint glow.

It was an old well!

The exact spot where Hong Ran and the others usually fetched water.

"That place also emitted hissing noises."

Fang Zhixing’s mind raced, but he quickly suppressed all thoughts.

"It’s unwise to stay here long, better to slip away first."

Fang Zhixing controlled the locust beast, directly rushing out over the South Gate.

His gaze swept around, quickly locating Ye Zixuan.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zixuan also looked up, unwrapped the red cloth, and stared for a moment at the locust beast.

Fang Zhixing purposely revealed his head for her to see.

The Sky Observation Department should be a very powerful authority, perhaps they had a way to cope with the Heavenly People.

Fang Zhixing wanted to borrow the power of the Sky Observation Department to balance out Tian Yin and the Heavenly Locust.

But with those two Heavenly People right in the city, he couldn’t openly seek help, only subtly revealed himself.

"I hope Ye Zixuan can do something to stir up the waters."

Fang Zhixing quietly sighed.

At the same moment, Ye Zixuan watched the locust monster disappear into the distance, her purple eyes flashing intermittently.

Luo Lifu approached him, pointing at the sky creature and asked, "Judge Ye, what is that creature?"

Ye Zixuan pondered for a moment and replied, "The person who killed your son has escaped from the city."

"What?!"

Luo Lifu was utterly shocked; he wished he could immediately storm into the city and tear Fang Zhixing into pieces.

He couldn’t imagine how Fang Zhixing could have flown up into the sky and escaped the city this way.

"How could I allow him, the killer of my son, to escape?"

Grinding his teeth, Luo Lifu roared towards the sky.

"Hehe, how many people’s sons have you killed, and how many people’s sons has your son killed?"

Suddenly, the Breaking Precepts Evil Monk appeared with a face full of schadenfreude.

He taunted, "Your Aristocratic Family oppresses the common people, who dare not retaliate, but my young friend here dares to provoke you. Isn’t that infuriating?"

"Bald donkey, I’ll kill you!"

Luo Lifu became completely enraged, his hands crossing as webs shot out.

The Breaking Precepts Evil Monk burst out laughing, his body swelling up and transforming into an Eight-Armed Arhat.

The two initiated a fierce battle in the forest outside the city.

Suddenly, the great collision sounds shook the heavens and destroyed vast swathes of the forest.

Ye Zixuan, unconcerned, now turned her gaze towards the city.

"So it is, two Heavenly People, huh?"

After a while, Ye Zixuan sensed something and murmured softly.

Then without hesitation, she gracefully alighted on Bai Niu’s back.

"Let’s go, into the city!"

Bai Niu took steps forward, arriving in front of the city gate.

Its two horns drove forward, and numerous flashes of thunder emerged, forcefully tearing open a rift on that invisible ripple.

"Moo~"

Moments later, Bai Niu roared and completely tore the invisible ripple apart, charging into the city and breaking into a furious run.

Ye Zixuan’s eyes flashed, quickly spotting two figures before leaping up to stand on Cow’s Back Mountain, her robe sleeves fluttering.

The sky suddenly darkened. Ominous clouds hovered overhead, lightning flashed, and thunder roared.

Bai Niu came to a halt.

The Heavenly Locust and Tian Yin slowly turned around.

Ye Zixuan bowed respectfully and said assertively, "Two Heavenly People, you have conducted your Tribulation in Yulan County without permission, violating the ’Covenant of the Heavenly People’. Can you provide an explanation to the Sky Observation Department?"

Tian Yin grinned dismissively and retorted, "Young lady, although I have slept for some years, if I remember correctly, mere mortals have no right to question the affairs of us Heavenly People."

Ye Zixuan expressionless, stated, "Although I am but an ant, I am representing the Sky Observation Department in this inquiry."

Heavenly Locust stood with his hands behind his back and replied, "The person undergoing Tribulation here is me, so I will answer your question."

Ye Zixuan asked formally, "May I know your name?"

The Heavenly Locust answered, "I am the Heavenly Locust."

"The Heavenly Locust, one of the Four Disasters!"

Ye Zixuan’s expression changed drastically as she coldly said, "I didn’t expect you to rise from the ashes again."

Stretching his body, the Heavenly Locust laughed gleefully, "This Tribulation is unlike any before. I successfully eliminated most of the decay from my body and have become more powerful than ever."

Ye Zixuan’s eyes turned an increasingly deep purple as she stood with two fingers raised in front of her, speaking in a grave voice, "So what if that is true? Is he stronger than my master?"

As soon as her words fell, a thunderbolt struck from the sky!

Twisted lightning, like a silver waterfall, poured down upon Ye Zixuan.

In an instant, the purple light in Ye Zixuan’s eyes became so intense that it was unbearable to behold, and patterns of purple lightning appeared on her skin, sacred and incomparable.

A blurry, immense phantom appeared above her head, its form vaguely that of a woman covered with a red cloth.

"I thought it was someone else, Heavenly Locust," it’s you, reborn."

The immense phantom spoke, its ethereal voice echoing between heaven and earth.

However, Breaking Precepts Evil Monk and others outside the city couldn’t hear a sound.

Heavenly Locust slightly lifted his head and said with a light smile, "Yes, I am reborn again. We are going to meet once more."

The immense phantom swayed slightly and looked down, "Oh, it seems you are luckier this time, you have grown much stronger. So, do you want to challenge me again?"

"Of course!"

Heavenly Locust laughed scornfully, "We are both Heavenly People, so why should you alone stand high above?"

The immense phantom responded, "If you can destroy any of the Four Major Families of Dan State, I will give you a chance to challenge me."

The corners of Heavenly Locust’s mouth rose, and a swarm of locusts surged from the ground, rushing towards the sky, darkening the heavens.

The hungry locusts, vast and sweeping, consumed everything, as if they were about to devour the sky itself.

Thunder rumbled!

Dark clouds churned violently, innumerable twisted bolts of thunder struck down like a downpour, cleansing the land.

Accompanied by dazzling lightning, countless locusts were charred and fell to the ground.

Once the locusts hit the ground, they were immediately crushed to dust, scattering with the wind.

Suddenly, the clouds dispersed.

Clarity returned to heaven and earth.

The immense phantom had vanished without a trace, and neither Heavenly Locust nor Tian Yin could be seen anymore.

Only Ye Zixuan was left, suddenly coming to her senses, her expression blank, seemingly unable to remember what had just happened.

She took out a red cloth, covered her eyes, and sighed softly, "When Heavenly People battle, the world is thrown into chaos!"

...

...

Fang Zhixing rode the mutant beast locust, flying past the county, flying over Nanping Mountain.

Soon, a muddy great river stretched across the land.

"This is Turbid Sand River..."

Fang Zhixing recognized it.

In his dreams, he had attempted to cross Nanping Mountain.

The Turbid Sand River lay two hundred li south of Nanping Mountain.

The river, with its turbulent waves and astonishing width, seemed impossible for birds to cross.

The rebel army once held the riverbank, using the geographical advantage to resist stubbornly.

"Before, I used to worry about how to cross the river, but now..."

With a flap of its wings, the locust beast covered a distance of over a hundred meters, its wings slapping the dark waves, as if it were taking a leisurely stroll.

In the eyes of a Second Level Mutant Beast, the perilous rivers of the human world were no concern.

Unknowingly, Fang Zhixing had left Xiahe County, moving further and further away...
