Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 587 - 351 Chase and Escape!

The rain poured in torrents.

Lightning tore through the clouds from time to time.

Thunderclaps resonated, one after another.

The void split to either side.

On the deserted mountain path, a carriage suddenly appeared.

Law Realm Shuttle complete!

The target was nearby, so it was necessary to return to the real world and hurry over.

"How much farther?"

Shen Ye shouted loudly.

Yudelia waved her magic wand and, casting a "Rainproof Spell" on him, shouted back:

"Almost there! Just turn at the mountain road ahead and head straight into the woods with the carriage!"

Shen Ye flicked the reins.

The horses immediately changed direction, their speed not at all hindered.

The sound of slicing air carried on the wind.

"Pursuers—the imperial pursuers, not Descenders," Yudelia said quickly.

She began chanting a Spell, fortifying the carriage with protection.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but look back for a moment.

He saw Xiao Mengyu standing on the roof of the carriage, drawing her sword, and in the face of the wind and rain, slashing a series of afterimages into the void of darkness.

From afar came a series of sounds of flesh being cut.

Luoshen Sword・Beauty—

A spatial slash, its power undiminished.

"Another one! A master!" Shen Ye shouted.

In fact, preoccupied with driving the carriage, he had not seen clearly. All he saw was a term flashing by, evading Xiao Mengyu’s slashes.

In the midst of the night rain, a voice suddenly emerged:

"Dharma Aspect unfolds—"

The phantom afterimages appeared only for a moment before rapidly disappearing without a trace.

Amidst the rain, an irritating buzzing sound approached from afar, quickly landing on top of the carriage.

"Killed."

Xiao Mengyu said indifferently.

The buzzing stopped.

But there, a thirty-centimeter-long sharp Short Sword floated beside her, flickering with cold light and still dripping blood.

This sword had no hilt, its narrowest part no more than three to five centimeters, with Blade Edges at both ends.

—Flying Sword!

The Luoshen Sword was a Mother and Child Sword, this Flying Sword being the Child Sword concealed within the blade. Unbeknownst to when, Xiao Mengyu had released it. It silently circled and flew around the carriage.

No one noticed it.

After all, it carried with it the might of the Luoshen Sword.

"Where to Find a Bosom Friend in the World: When the sword is drawn, it becomes an undetectable, intangible entity, elusive and Guaranteed to Hit its target."

"—Only then it had already vanished."

Xiao Mengyu flicked her finger on the Flying Sword.

The Flying Sword rapidly became invisible, once again disappearing into the night rain, its whereabouts unknown.

—The Flying Sword was surely lurking nearby, ready to claim lives at any moment.

Shen Ye hesitated for a moment.

He had to drive the carriage, Yudelia had to protect Norton, and now the offensive relied solely on Xiao Mengyu.

If the pursuit continued like this without end—

In case of any mishap, Xiao Mengyu was in the most dangerous position.

He had to think of a plan...

Atop the carriage, Xiao Mengyu suddenly showed an alert expression, as if listening to something.

In the void.

The will of the Immortal Country descended, communicating with her.

"Have you completed your task?"

"I have," Xiao Mengyu said.

She had passed the tests of the Immortal Country and had received a mission from them in the Nightmare World before.

—To collect Cosmic Ice Crystals.

"The stuff you collected?"

"Right here."

Xiao Mengyu flipped her hand and took out a box, placing it on the ground.

The box instantly vanished.

"Congratulations."

"You’ve received the Immortal Country’s reward:

"One chance to save your life."

"Note: During danger, the Immortal Country will take you and those around you into an unknown space to avoid a fatal disaster."

"—You must strive to survive on your own and not rely on the Immortal Country."

Xiao Mengyu was somewhat surprised.

A chance to save her life?

Life was such a precious thing, and she hadn’t expected that a piece of ice crystal could secure it.

In that case...

The rewards from the Immortal Country were indeed generous.

If she could complete more tasks, wouldn’t she be able to gain even more incredible things?

"Thank you, Immortal Country. Is there any new mission? I am willing to take on a new mission and do something for the Immortal Country," Xiao Mengyu said.

Sitting at the front of the carriage, Shen Ye stiffened.

There was none.

Truly none.

He had racked his brains to fabricate this reward; how dare he assign more missions!

Lines of tiny luminescent characters appeared in midair:

"Ice Crystals contain The Universal Laws; once obtained by the Immortal Country, it can link to the universe, slowly drawing the Power of the Universe, and stem the progress of destruction."

"Her contribution of the Cosmic Ice Crystal Body is beneficial to the Immortal Country. It was a carefully considered mission, and now new missions will be arranged."

"As for the matter of rewards, please put more effort, Master."

"..." Shen Ye.

He had just come up with this reward after deep thought.

He really had no way to find more rewards.

Another line of luminescent characters appeared:

"This is only temporary. Once the Immortal Country has recovered to a certain level, there will be no shortage of rewards."

Good.

That would do for now.

At least he could openly take care of Xiao Mengyu.

Shen Ye turned around and drove the carriage with peace of mind.

The sound of the rain grew denser.

The carriage plunged into the dark woods in the pitch-black night.

A Technique light streaked out, smoothing over all traces and corpses of the recent battle.

Rain.

Continued to fall.

Whoever arrived here would never realize that a fight had taken place.

Deep in the woods.

The swiftly moving carriage gradually came to a stop.

In this secluded forest, even the grass reached half a person’s height, and countless towering trees obscured the sky above.

The trees were so numerous, and the branches so lush and abundant, that even the rain seemed to grow lighter.

"We’ve arrived,"

Yudelia jumped down from the carriage and searched around among the trees before suddenly pressing her hand against an ancient tree.

"Elder Xin Siqi, you’ve worked hard over these years."
