Chapter 2316: Encountering Qing Shan Again (One)
“But even if it’s like what I imagined, who knows how long it’ll take before I can become the master of the World of Moon and Sun. Collecting ten droplets of essence blood from Grand Exalts is not an easy feat,” Jian Chen dismissed his thoughts and no longer dwelled on the topic. He lowered his head to observe Donglin Yanxue.
Donglin Yanxue lay in his arms. Her eyes remained closed, as she was completely unconscious. She was not aware of the world around her at all.
“Her wounds haven’t worsened, but they haven’t improved either. Now that the mist is gone, she should awaken very soon,” murmured Jian Chen. He looked around him before flying off in one direction.
Since Donglin Yanxue was still unconscious, he did not need to continue hiding his strength. He immediately hurried off with his full speed, flying into the depths of the World of Moon and Star.
At the same time, he used the Laws of Space. He moved extremely fast under its assistance, crossing a thousand or even two thousand kilometres in each instance.
Ten thousand kilometres was only a matter of a few seconds to him.
“Although I don’t know how much time has passed, I need to cover as much ground as I can before Donglin Yanxue awakens so that I can avoid Qing Shan…”
“Although I don’t fear Qing Shan, it’s impossible for Donglin Yanxue to continue to remain unconscious. Once she wakes up, I won’t be able to fight anymore, or I’ll expose my identity and lose the chance to enter the Tower of Radiance.”
“I can only hope that Qing Shan has already left the World of Moon and Star now…” Jian Chen thought. As he hurried with his full speed, he paid attention to Donglin Yanxue at all times. As soon as she showed signs of waking up, he would need to slow down.
Jian Chen moved with lightning speed. The powers of space wrapped around him as if he had fused with space, allowing him to demonstrate extreme speed. In just a short period of time, he had appeared several million kilometres away.
Suddenly, Jian Chen came to a halt. He stood in a rocky canyon and stared straight ahead.
A Radiant Saint Master in white robes lay on the ground a hundred metres away. Most of his robes were soaked in blood, and he was completely dead. He was an ice-cold corpse.
Jian Chen arrived before the corpse and looked at the familiar face.
He recognised this Radiant Saint Master. He was one of the protectors who had come in with Donglin Yanxue. However, when they were hunted down by Qing Shan towards the end, he had abandoned Donglin Yanxue and fled by himself.
Jian Chen felt no sympathy towards the death of this Radiant Godking. At the same time, he had been expecting these people to die.
Qing Shan had entered the World of Moon and Star to erase the candidates who were undertaking a trial here. However, with the grievances between the Martial Soul lineage and the Radiant Saint Hall, these protectors would still face death even if they abandoned their candidates to flee.
“I wonder how many protectors are still alive in the World of Moon and Star and if the four other candidates are all dead,” Jian Chen murmured softly. However, he did not leave the corpse behind. He stowed it in his divine hall.
Now that the Immortal Devouring Orchid was gradually maturing, it would need more and more corpses to devour. Instead of abandoning the corpse of the Radiant Saint Master to the vicious beasts here, he would much rather use it to nourish the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
Afterwards, Jian Chen changed the landscape so that it seemed like a vicious beast had passed by to cover his traces before leaving.
