Chapter 450

The hazy moonlight slowly receded. Yue Xianzi, who had been unconscious for half a month, finally woke up. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes.

The first thing that came into view was a figure covered in blood. Other than a pair of haggard and bloodshot black eyes, the other party's face and body were stained with blood. The blood had dried up and turned black and red, making it difficult for people to see his original appearance.

However, Yue Xianzi still recognized him at a glance. She cried out, "Zi Chen!"

The figure covered in blood was Zi Chen. During the half a month of escape, they had been caught up by the Core realm old monsters several times. During that time, there was also a mysterious monster assassin. It was a miracle that they had been able to last for half a month and wait for Yue Xianzi to wake up.

Beside him, Tyrant was not much better off than Zi Chen. During this half a month, he was mainly responsible for luring away the other Core realm old monsters. Even with a pill weapon, his injuries were still very serious.

However, compared to Zi Chen, Tyrant's monk robes were much cleaner.

They had been pursued all this time. Fortunately, the two of them were not ordinary people. Their recovery speed was much faster than that of monsters of the same level. Otherwise, they would not have been able to hold on.

"How did you guys get so badly injured?"

Yue Xianzi stood up and asked in surprise. However, she soon felt that something was wrong and frowned slightly.

As she lowered her head, she saw the clothes she was wearing. It was so wide that it was obviously a man's. Moreover, there was a faint pain in her chest area. Through the wide collar of the robe, she could see an irregular gauze bandage in the middle.

After that, everything that had happened before she lost consciousness appeared in Yue Xianzi's mind.

She remembered what had happened.

Second grandpa had self-detonated his Core realm and used a pill weapon to send her out. He had sacrificed himself to save her. However, after that, he had been stabbed in the chest by the black-robed man. He had thought that he was going to die. Unexpectedly, he was still alive.

"You guys saved me."

Yue Xianzi's face was filled with sorrow. She remembered what had happened to her and the death of her second grandpa.

"You were the one who saved yourself."

Zi Chen said, revealing his snow-white teeth. "Can you still walk? We can't stay here for long. We have to leave."

Yue Xianzi nodded. However, as soon as she stood up, her body began to wobble. Zi Chen hurriedly supported her.

Ignoring Yue Xianzi's stunned expression, Zi Chen picked her up and flew into the distance. "You've just woken up, so you're still a little weak. Let me carry you."

Tyrant followed closely behind. The Devil Ape, who was in charge of keeping watch in the distance, also jumped onto Zi Chen's shoulder.

Zi Chen flitted through the forest and was being chased all the way. He no longer dared to soar into the air.

Yue Xianzi, who was lying in Zi Chen's arms, was still very weak as she had just woken up. She quickly fell asleep.

When the sky gradually brightened, Zi Chen, who had been running for an entire day and night, finally stopped. He set Yue Xianzi down and began to meditate.

Soon after, the devil ape found a safe place to rest and signaled Zi Chen to head over.

"This time, we've directly fled several tens of thousands of miles away from that region. They shouldn't be able to catch up to us so quickly."

In a hidden cave, Zi Chen gently set Yue Xianzi down. He looked at Tyrant and said, "Now, you should focus on recovering from your injuries."

The two of them had been taking turns like this the entire time. That was why they had lasted so long.

After finding a safe place, the Devil Ape left. It was going to keep watch to see if there were any abnormalities.

When Yue Xianzi woke up for the second time, Zi Chen and Tyrant had already fully recovered from their injuries. The two of them also found some time to clean themselves up and change into new clothes. They appeared to be in high spirits.

As for the weak Yue Xianzi, after several hours of meditating, her spirit returned to its peak. Her strength was also gradually recovering.

The three of them had completely recovered from their injuries. This was a good sign.

"What exactly is going on? Why did they want to kill you?"

Looking at Yue Xianzi, Zi Chen felt a little unnatural. He directly asked the question in his heart. Furthermore, he consciously neglected to mention the matter of when he was bandaging her injuries.

Tyrant also looked at Yue Xianzi. He clearly also wanted to know who had been chasing them all this time.

"They're from the Heavenly Kill Alliance," said Yue Xianzi, hatred in her eyes.

"The Heavenly Kill Alliance?" Both Zi Chen and Tyrant were startled. They had long since heard of the Heavenly Kill Alliance.

Back in the barbarian land, the Heavenly Kill Alliance had sent people to kill Su Long. It was said that quite a few experts had come, and they had used the Heavenly Kill Pavilion's people to capture them and threaten Su Long.

It was said that this was an ancient assassin's alliance. It was extremely powerful, and its influence spanned practically the entire Martial Heaven Continent.

However, the two of them were curious about the fact that this was the chaotic land. Everything was controlled by the overlords of Chaos City. Furthermore, this place was extremely chaotic. Everything was focused on fighting for resources. Assassins were practically useless here.

The Heavenly Kill Alliance knew that this was a special place. They didn't have a branch here, so why did they want to kill Yue Xianzi?

"Why do they want to kill you?" asked Tyrant.

"Because my father died at their hands. Furthermore, second grandpa was heavily injured because of them, causing his cultivation base to regress."

Yue Xianzi hatefully said, "Most importantly, they found me to be an eyesore in the Shangguan family. That's why they sent assassins to kill me."

"Who … who is he?"

"The current head of the Shangguan family, my uncle, Shangguan Feilin."

Yue Xianzi's words shook the two of them. The head of the Shangguan family was Yue 'er's uncle, but he wanted to kill her.

"He's your uncle, but he still wants to kill you?"

The two of them hadn't asked about Yue Xianzi's status in the Shangguan family, so they didn't know much about the Shangguan family.

"Yes, it has to be him. My father was the previous head of the Shangguan family. One time, he went out and was killed by the Heavenly Kill Alliance's assassins. Some people in the family suspect that he hired those assassins."

Yue Xianzi then explained the matter between her uncle and her father. The two of them didn't have any enmity. They just had a conflict of interest.

This was a conflict of interest between large powers. Furthermore, this was the position of head of the Shangguan family. For such a position, blood brothers would do anything to fight for it.

Obviously, Yue 'er's father was a level higher and had successfully obtained the position of Patriarch, becoming the leader of one of the Bedlam Lands' overlords. However, Yue 'er's uncle was extremely unwilling to accept this, so he resorted to despicable means to harm his own brother and smoothly became Patriarch.

Yue 'er hadn't grown up in the Shangguan family. Instead, she had grown up in a desolate land. It was her master who had coincidentally encountered such a situation and saved her when she was still in her infancy.

Yue 'er didn't know about these things because her master hadn't told her. She had only told her to take out the command medallion when her life was in danger.

However, when the command medallion was taken out, it caused a huge commotion. Shangguan Yue 'er's identity was also revealed, so she was brought back to the family.

However, after returning to the family, Shangguan Yue 'er didn't have a good life. She was always treated coldly by some people. Furthermore, her uncle refused to acknowledge her as a member of the Shangguan family. Instead, he repeatedly said that he wanted to marry her off.

As a result, over the past two years, many young elites had come to the Shangguan family to request for such a marriage. This time, Shangguan Yue 'er had come out because she was unhappy. She had only come to relieve her boredom.

The only place she could go was this market.

Therefore, after arriving here, Shangguan Mo told her everything. During this time, the Shangguan family had always claimed that the previous head of the Shangguan family had died at the hands of the Heavenly Kills Union.

Only a few people knew the truth. Even what Shangguan Mo had said was only his own conjecture. There was no real evidence.

This time, she had only come to relieve her boredom. She hadn't expected that she would learn about these things and that such a thing would happen.

The market was gone, her second grandfather was dead, and her own uncle was the enemy who had killed her father.

After saying all this, Yue Xianzi was already sobbing uncontrollably. Tyrant glared at Zi Chen and motioned for Zi Chen to go forward. The latter could only go and comfort her.

Therefore, Yue Xianzi leaned on Zi Chen's shoulder and began to cry. It was as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances and unwillingness.

She cried for a very long time. She cried until the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light. She cried until half of Zi Chen's robe was soaked. She continued to cry.

She only stopped crying when the demonic ape appeared.

"Run."

The appearance of the demonic ape could only mean one thing. The pursuers had arrived. Therefore, before the demonic ape could speak, the group had already begun to flee.

However, during this escape, even though Yue Xianzi had regained consciousness, the three of them were not having an easy time. The black-robed men seemed to have gone mad and were desperately chasing after them. At the same time, they used all kinds of powerful battle techniques. Apart from the self-detonation of their Jindan essence, they used almost everything else.

The lives of the three of them were in imminent danger. They could die at any time. Fortunately, they had recovered from their injuries along the way.

The days of escape were unimaginable. However, the three of them gritted their teeth and persevered. They knew that the crazier the pursuers were, the more anxious they were.

The only thing that could make them so anxious was that the Shangguan family had arrived. Although the head of the family did not recognize this little princess and did not like her, there were others who recognized her. Among them, Shangguan Mo's son, who was also his other uncle, would definitely come to rescue them.

"Damn it. What a slippery kid. He disappeared again."

In the sky, looking at the figure that disappeared under his nose again, an Inner Core old monster could not help but curse.

The dense forest below was almost flattened. Several figures had been killed, but unfortunately, all of them were clones.

"Did Invikill fail as well?" an Inner Core expert beside him asked.

"No. Invikill has been injured frequently during this period."

"Where did these two people come from? They are just flying, but they can make Invikill fail time and time again."

The Inner Core expert frowned. He found it unbelievable that there were people of the same level who could suppress Invikill. However, along the way, these two people had already given him a lot of unbelievable surprises. After thinking about it, he understood.

"Should we continue chasing? Two people have already died in the hands of Shangguan Feixiong. Moreover, this time, the Shangguan family is determined to kill us. They have already surrounded us. If we don't retreat now, it will be too late."

"Hold on for a few more days. We must kill the target."

In the sky, the Inner Core old monsters of the Heavenly Kill Union gathered and chased after Zi Chen and the others again.

It was just that Zi Chen and the monk both had clones. Moreover, it was very difficult to differentiate between the two of them. The two of them were really too slippery. They left their footprints everywhere. There were also clues everywhere. However, what they found were all clones.
