Chapter 199: Chapter 184 Sword Command Voice Transmission_1

"Huff!"

The exhausted Luo Hongyan, after leaving the First Peak, also had her beautiful face filled with panic.

She was at a loss as to where to go.

Suddenly, a Devil Scale Tribe warrior riding an Ice Roc, with eyes as cold as ice, locked onto her from afar.

"A level six Ice Roc, in addition to a level six warrior of the Alien Tribes..."

Luo Hongyan inwardly lamented.

The battle with Cao Mang had nearly drained all her strength, and ever since she was imprisoned in that rhomboid Ice Crystal, she had been completely immobilized.

Cao Mang naturally wouldn’t provide her with Spirit Stones and vitality to recover her strength.

Her storage bracelet had also been taken by Cao Mang.

Barely mustering her residual strength, and having just flown away from the First Peak with the advantage of her extraordinary body, she unluckily caught the attention of a powerful Alien Tri

bes warrior.

Luo Hongyan sighed deeply, thinking that she probably could not escape this calamity.

"Eh?"

Luo Hongyan’s eyes showed confusion.

The powerful Alien Tribes warrior just gave her a cold glance and then flew away with the Ice Roc.

As if she didn’t exist at all.

"What is going on?"

Luo Hongyan was perplexed.

She turned her head to look at another end, and noticed another warrior of the Heaven Clan fluttering their wings, who also seemed to not see her, and flew directly past her towards the First Peak of Yuan Mang.

On the First Peak.

"Whoosh!"

The Devil Scale Tribe warrior’s ten-zhang-long Ice Roc spat out streaks of ice spires, instantly killing a Hollow Profound Realm Individual Cultivator on the spot.

"He’s not blind..."

Luo Hongyan grew even more puzzled.

She looked around and noticed that on the summit of the Fifth Peak of Yuan Mang, due to Zhao Yuanqi’s Red Rosy Clouds Boat departing, there were no longer any Alien Tribes warriors or Ferocious Beasts lurking around.

"To the Fifth Peak, it is!"

Gathering her remaining strength, she drifted towards the Fifth Peak, disappearing into the faint blood fog.

"Qi Qingsong..."

Looking down, she saw Qi Qingsong from the Sword Tower also darting through the valleys between the peaks.

Qi Qingsong, surprisingly, had not been attacked by the Alien Tribes or Ferocious Beasts, just like her.

"It seems as though some mysterious force is particularly favoring both me and the lad from Sword Tower, making those invading Alien Tribes turn a blind eye to us."

Luo Hongyan muttered to herself.

...

In the skies of Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands.

"Huff!"

The Red Rosy Clouds Boat, like a cluster of splendid rosy clouds, wobbled difficultly as it struggled to fly away from the land.

"Gao Yuan?"

Jiang Li, standing at the edge of the boat, saw a Cloud Sail carrying two people outrun them in escaping the Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands and said in surprise, "Isn’t Pang Jian with you?"

With a mournful face, Gao Yuan said, "Han Ting said he went to Jade Lake, the place where many Alien Tribes emerged. We can’t contact him, and we don’t dare to go to Jade Lake to find him."

The anxious Han Ting kept looking down repeatedly from atop the Cloud Sail, trying to search for any trace of Pang Jian.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t see anything.

"How were you able to fly out of Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands successfully?"

Zhao Yuanqi, with a solemn expression on her face and carrying a big red gourd, questioned, "Cloud Sails rising into the sky were all smashed by the Cyclopes and the Alien Tribes warriors riding the black wyverns. You were too fortunate."

"Little junior sister, we were also very lucky,"

Jiang Li whispered.

The Red Rosy Clouds Boat, which had been smashed by a Cyclops, lifted off shakily from the First Peak of Yuan Mang as soon as she and Zhao Yuanqi boarded it, but afterward, their escape went surprisingly smoothly.

She had personally seen several Cloud Sails at the same level as their departure being attacked and shot down by Alien Tribes and Ferocious Beasts.

Only their Red Rosy Clouds Boat flew out safely.

"I am one favored by destiny, and naturally, you can escape safely by following me. It’s to be expected,"

Zhao Yuanqi said proudly with a straight face, "They can’t possibly enjoy the same favor from the heavens as I do, so how could they escape the bloody battlefield below before us?"

"I don’t know either,"

Gao Yuan replied with a wry smile and a shake of his head.

"Now that we’ve flown out, why are you still standing there stunned?"

Zhao Yuanqi gave Gao Yuan a strange look and, without waiting for Jiang Li to say more, the Red Rosy Clouds Boat flew further and further away.

As the Red Rosy Clouds Boat disappeared into the distance, Gao Yuan looked down, suddenly shouted, "Pang Jian’s sister, she is on the Fifth Peak of Yuan Mang!"

Han Ting squinted and looked closely, also discovering a stunningly beautiful figure draped in brilliant red, shrouded in the faint blood mist, gracefully standing on the Fifth Peak of Yuan Mang.

"She actually broke free!"

Gao Yuan, who had learned from others that Luo Hongyan truly hailed from the Second Realm but was not the scion of any great clan, instead being the remnant of the Blood Spirit Sect, could have chosen not to put himself back into a perilous setting after being the first to escape the bloodshed.

But after hesitating for a moment, Gao Yuan said, "Han Ting, I want to try descending to bring Pang Jian’s sister aboard!"

Almost without a moment’s hesitation, Han Ting immediately nodded, "Okay!"

Gao Yuan looked stunned, "You..."

Han Ting ordered, "Go now!"

After a brief exchange, the Cloud Sail, as if laden with boundless fortune, began to descend slowly from the high skies of Yuan Mang.

All the way down, it was still unassailed by Alien Tribes and ferocious birds, smoothly coming to a hover in midair above the Fifth Peak of Yuan Mang.

Luo Hongyan, grievously injured and without the likes of flying artifacts such as Cloud Sails, would have no chance to serenely leave Yuan Mang. Seeing the familiar Cloud Sail descending, seeing the familiar Gao Yuan, she also seemed a bit excited.

"Pang Jian..."

She pursed her lips and called out softly.

She thought Pang Jian was inside, thinking that it was he who had instructed Gao Yuan to come down with Cloud Sail to pick her up.

Her heart brimming with emotion, she waited until Cloud Sail reached the appropriate height, then with a flash, she leapt aboard and called out, "Pang Jian!"

In her field of vision, there was no sign of Pang Jian.

"Gao Yuan, where is Pang Jian? Why isn’t he with you? Why didn’t you take him with you when your Cloud Sail left?" Luo Hongyan chastised with anger in her eyes.

"I..."

Gao Yuan, who had risked his life coming down, felt a wave of grievance and said, "Pang Jian was at Jade Lake where the Mirror Tunnel suddenly appeared. The alien tribes that attacked us came from Jade Lake, and I suspect that Pang Jian... might have met with disaster."

"Impossible!"

Luo Hongyan’s pupils emitted a splash of blood-red light as she exclaimed, "He communicated with Jiuyuan through the Blood Talisman, he must still be alive! Gao Yuan, hurry to Jade Lake and pick up Pang Jian!"

"Boom!"

Qi Qingsong from Sword Tower, racing all the way up the mountain, thunderously landed on the fifth peak.

He, who had not encountered any attacks from the alien tribes or ferocious beasts, headed straight for the fifth peak upon seeing the Cloud Sail descending slowly.

As Luo Hongyan and Gao Yuan were communicating, he also successfully reached the peak.

Without saying a word, he leaped upwards and landed in the center of the Cloud Sail.

"Eh, Pang Jian is not here?"

Qi Qingsong, aware of the relationship between Gao Yuan and Pang Jian, looked all around like Luo Hongyan. Not seeing the familiar figure, he too furrowed his brows in confusion.

At that moment,

a response suddenly came from the token at his waist; he tore it off and held it in his palm.

"Qi Qingsong, I’m fine, you don’t need to worry about me, you should be alive too, right?"

The serene and composed voice of Pang Jian echoed from it.

Inside Cloud Sail, Luo Hongyan, Han Ting, and Gao Yuan’s startled gazes all converged on the Sword Tower Token in Qi Qingsong’s palm, their expressions stranger than the last.

"Pang Jian, where on earth have you gone?!"

Luo Hongyan’s voice exploded sharply.

Riding on ferocious beasts, the alien tribe was scattered throughout every canyon and forest of the Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands, with hundreds of alien warriors at level five and six, equivalent to the Hollow Profound Realm and Spirit Condensation Realm of the Human Race.

And that did not even include the ferocious beasts.

This force had the power to destroy the entire Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands in one fell swoop, to kill all the attending cultivators!

With so many Cloud Sails having crashed, only the Red Rosy Clouds Boat had escaped safely. Now she was both angry and anxious, fearing that some accident had befallen Pang Jian.

After her angry scream,

no further sound came from the Sword Tower Token in Qi Qingsong’s hand. Gao Yuan, Han Ting, and Qi Qingsong himself all stared at the token bearing the emblem of Sword Tower.

A moment later,

Pang Jian’s voice, sounding as if a great weight had been lifted from his heart, finally transmitted, "I’m relieved that you’re safe; the one I’ve been most worried about is you."

"I’m fine. I’ve been worried that you might have had an accident..."

Luo Hongyan’s eyes reddened slightly.

Her voice was choked when she began to speak, and she had to compose herself before she was ready to continue asking about Pang Jian’s whereabouts.

"Pang Jian, I am here with her, and an Individual Cultivator named Han Ting, currently on Gao Yuan’s Cloud Sail. We are at the fifth peak; where are you? We’ll find a way to reach you,"

Qi Qingsong said urgently.

"Jiang Li, and the Red Mountain disciple named Zhao Yuanqi, them?" Pang Jian inquired.

"They’ve left ahead of us," Qi Qingsong hurriedly said.

"Then that’s good."

The voice from the token now sounded more relaxed, as if unburdening a mental load.

"Leave Yuan Mang and head to Xuan You Continent as soon as possible,"

Pang Jian’s voice leisurely continued: "I, sister, have a special identity. You must be cautious of Blood Moon and Yin Spirit Temple; both sects are on Xuan You Continent."

The word "sister" made both Luo Hongyan’s brows and heart quiver at once.

"Later, I will also come to Xuan You Continent, and if you, Qi Qingsong, are still there, I’ll try to contact you through the token,"

Pang Jian said.

"If we are leaving, we’ll leave together!"

Luo Hongyan declared.

"Pang Jian, where exactly are you?" Qi Qingsong asked with a grave face, furrowing his brow, "Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands are too dangerous; no matter what, you cannot stay long. We will find a way to find you and take you with us!"

"No, I can’t leave for now."

"Believe me, I will definitely arrive at Xuan You Continent safely. Take good care of yourselves."

"Luo... sister, take care, see you on Xuan You Continent."

"Rest assured, just trust me like you always have; I won’t come to any harm."

No further sound came from the token.

No matter how Qi Qingsong roared, his token gave no response; he knew that Pang Jian had once again tucked the token into his storage ring.

"What do we do now?"

Gao Yuan looked at the others.

Luo Hongyan took a deep breath and gritted her teeth: "Start the Cloud Sail; we’ll leave the Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands first. I believe he won’t be in any danger; he must have something very important unfinished. We will meet him on Xuan You Continent!"

"Okay!"

Gao Yuan steered the Cloud Sail, flying smoothly towards the sky, gradually moving away from Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands.

...

At the bottom of Jade Lake,

"Jiuyuan, Lou Yunming, Cao Mang, I will bring their heads to see you,"

Pang Jian said as he put away the token, sitting inside a glowing Firm Cover, voicing his final words.

He knew Luo Hongyan couldn’t hear this statement.

...
