King of Creation-Chapter 1593 - 1578: Deceit and Betrayal

When Ye Zhen left, it was silent and unobtrusive. If it weren’t for the need to take Ling Qianbi, even Ling Wangke wouldn’t have noticed Ye Zhen’s departure.

Even so, Ling Wangke didn’t discover how Ye Zhen left.

Apart from curiosity, Ling Wangke was simply pleased.

Because the more advanced Ye Zhen’s abilities were, the safer his granddaughter Ling Qianbi would be.

Those eight experts from the Five Immortals Hall, who were protecting Ye Zhen in the Five Blessings Inn, finally entered the room to check under Ling Wangke’s reminder and found the Jade Scroll left by Ye Zhen.

And by then, it had already been six hours since Ye Zhen had left.

Since there was evidence with Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Imprint on the Jade Scroll, it indicated that Ye Zhen had left on his own, and the special security provided for Ye Zhen had thus ended.

When Mountain God Yi Xun received this news, he wasn’t surprised.

Ye Zhen wouldn’t be Ye Zhen if he just accepted their arrangements obediently; that would be odd.

After the Five Immortals Hall withdrew their personnel from the Five Blessings Inn, Ling Wangke also silently departed.

At the very moment, Eunuch Fuq, who had been focusing a wisp of Divine Sense on the situation inside the Five Blessings Inn, suddenly opened his eyes and sighed softly.

This sigh startled Yuann Hongying, who was being protected by Eunuch Fuq during cultivation.

"Eunuch Fuq, what happened?" Yuann Hongying asked.

"Young Master, this old servant is incompetent, allowing that boy to escape," Eunuch Fuq said with shame, "Presumably, that boy discovered some clues, and during the day when he actively left Five Blessings Inn, he should have set a trap to lure this old servant to take action.

Fortunately, this old servant noticed that the Dao Realm expert by his side didn’t follow him. It might have been a trap, and I held back from acting. Otherwise, I might have been caught by him.

Moreover, the boy acted decisively. When he saw that luring this old servant to take action was unsuccessful, he immediately fled silently, and not even this old master’s Divine Sense detected any abnormalities," said Eunuch Fuq.

Upon hearing this, Yuann Hongying frowned, "Just let him escape like that; what about the Mystical Liquid Gold?"

"Since the fox has been startled away, it would be difficult to find its traces again in the short term. However, that boy took the Mystical Liquid Gold and is very likely to secretly find someone to refine it after leaving.

Then, try to nurture and cultivate that Mystical Liquid Gold into an Acquired Spirit Treasure as soon as possible.

This could be considered a good thing, saving us trouble. After the battle on the night of the full moon in six months, Young Master can directly take the finished product he refined; isn’t that even better?" Eunuch Fuq said.

Yuann Hongying slowly nodded, "Indeed. However, since Di Kuohai escaped, we should set out for that treasure land as well.

In less than six months, not only do I have to seize the treasures there, but my Cultivation must also increase significantly.

On the night of the full moon, I must not only win but win crushingly to wash away the disgrace and avenge the blood feud!"

"Then let’s set off now," said Eunuch Fuq.

Neither Yuann Hongying nor Eunuch Fuq could have guessed that Ye Zhen was at that moment thousands of miles away, using Big Ears’s Innate Divine Ability to monitor their every move.

Since Ye Zhen was after the treasures that Eunuch Fuq mentioned for enhancing Yuann Hongying’s combat power, only Ye Zhen’s mysterious disappearance could make them give up robbing the Mystical Liquid Gold in Ye Zhen’s possession. Therefore, Ye Zhen mysteriously vanished.

Utilizing the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, Ye Zhen’s mysterious disappearance wasn’t difficult at all.

The challenge for Ye Zhen now was how to track them!

"Could they be so extravagant as to use a portable directional Teleportation Formation?" Listening to Big Ears’s report, Ye Zhen worried.

If that were the case, Ye Zhen’s painstaking efforts would be in vain, because in such a scenario, there was no way for Ye Zhen to track them.

"Master, they are moving with a Spirit Boat," Big Ears’s voice reassured Ye Zhen, calming his concern as it wasn’t the worst-case scenario.

As long as normal means were used and even if they were a bit faster, Ye Zhen could catch up.

Unfortunately, Big Ears’s Innate Divine Ability could only vaguely discern that the transportation they were using was a Spirit Boat, but couldn’t determine the specific level of the Spirit Boat.

"They’ve set off, heading southeast!" Big Ears continued, "Master, their speed is continuously increasing. They are expected to leave my Innate Divine Ability’s surveillance range in an hour."

Big Ears’s Innate Divine Ability could currently extend over a maximum range of about forty thousand miles. At that time, Ye Zhen and his group were around fifteen thousand miles from Yuann Hongying and his team.

In other words, they could cover twenty-five thousand miles in half an hour, with an hourly speed of approximately fifty thousand miles.

This speed reached the pinnacle of a Ninth Stage Peak Realm King Realm expert’s extreme speed.

And this speed was already beyond what Ye Zhen and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten could keep up with.

After contemplating, only a King-level Heavenly Spirit Ship could match this speed.

Ye Zhen happened to have a King-level Heavenly Spirit Ship in his possession. It was a trophy from a night in Luoyi when he plundered thirty-one Prince Mansions, which hadn’t been used much since but was now perfect for this occasion.

With a thought, a palm-sized, Spirit Light-emitting little boat appeared in Ye Zhen’s hand. The moment Spiritual Power was injected, the little boat started expanding with the wind.

It grew to ten meters in size, large enough to comfortably accommodate four people and two beasts. Ye Zhen then led the way aboard this King-level Heavenly Spirit Ship, normally orchestrated by Commanders managing hundreds of thousands of troops.

The four people and two beasts were, naturally, Ye Zhen, Big Ears, Ling Qianbi, Zi Ling, plus the kitten and Nine-Headed Beast.

They were curious about the sudden appearance of Zi Ling, but no one questioned it further.

As a large number of Spirit Stones were thrown into the Spirit Stone cabin, in an instant, they transformed into a beam of flowing light and disappeared into the sky.

The speed of the King-level Heavenly Spirit Ship started to increase rapidly.

With Big Ears’s ears vibrating swiftly, he continuously reported the distance between both parties, "The distance between us and them is still widening, need to keep increasing the speed."

"The rate at which the distance between us is widening has decreased, still need to increase speed."

"The distance between us has stabilized, but it would be better to get a bit closer; being too far apart, my Innate Divine Ability consumes too much, and can’t be sustained for long.

Moreover, if they change their course, we won’t be able to detect it in time," Big Ears advised.

Ye Zhen didn’t speak. He just kept controlling the Formation, boosting the Spirit Boat’s speed.

When the King-level Spirit Boat’s speed reached its extreme, the High Grade Spiritual Stones in the Spirit Stone cabin were disappearing at a visible speed.

Ye Zhen estimated that at extreme speed, a minimum of ten thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones would be consumed per hour.

"Master, we are continuously closing the gap between us and them, currently reduced to about twenty thousand miles," Big Ears reported.

"When the gap shrinks to five thousand miles, remind me to slow down," Ye Zhen instructed.

Five thousand miles is a comparatively safe distance; not too far but not too close either.

Even if a Dao Realm expert’s Divine Sense or Spiritual Power were strong enough to instantly extend five thousand miles in a straight line, it is impossible to cover a five-thousand-mile radius all around; that’s absolutely impossible.

"Master, you can slow down now," Big Ears Nie Ting reported three hours later.

"Maintain this speed!" Ye Zhen commanded.

In the vast void, two streaks of flowing light flew in a parallel direction, separated by five thousand miles. Occasionally, they encountered other passing streaks of light without drawing anyone’s attention.

No one would suspect the situation within a five-thousand-mile radius ahead or behind.

Inside the Spirit Boat where Eunuch Fuq and the others were, Eunuch Fuq and Grandma Mao took turns propelling the Spirit Boat. Their Young Master, Yuann Hongying, sat cross-legged, surrounded by Spirit Light, likely engaged in Cultivation.

"Young Master, it seems like their destination is far; they’ll likely be flying for a long time," observed the bored Big Ears Nie Ting after noticing Yuann Hongying began cultivating.

"I see."

Ye Zhen turned his gaze to Ling Qianbi, "Qianbi, you pair up with Big Ears to control the Spirit Boat. If there are any changes, wake me up immediately."

Once briefed, Ye Zhen reached out and retrieved the Divine Communication and Saint Assistance Pill, which he acquired at the annual auction, and swallowed it.
