The Empress's No.1 Lackey-Chapter 1204 - 645: Escaping the Great Territory, Returning to the Light

Chapter 1204: Chapter 645: Escaping the Great Territory, Returning to the Light

"They really broke into the home... How is this possible? The guards at La Garden are clearly still there... Below a Heavenly Human, it’s impossible to breach La Garden..."

Song Zhi was both shocked and bewildered.

Zhang Yan Yi was surrounded by a surging azure light; with one hand behind his back and the other holding the Heavenly Book Jade Scroll horizontally in front of him. He appeared calm, but in reality, the azure light around him had dimmed considerably, and more than half of the words on the Heavenly Book had lost their glow.

In a weakened state, battling against the Divine, it was truly on the verge of his limits holding on until now.

If the fight continued, it might shake the foundation of his path.

Just as the Old Heavenly Master was feeling extremely anxious inside, he sharply noticed the change in Song Zhi. His heart leaped with joy, and he laughed:

"It seems that this round, the poor Taoist wins after all."

Song Zhi, filled with a mix of rage and surprise, had no mind to banter with him. Nearly insane, he transformed into rolling thick smoke and charged towards La Garden.

This time, Zhang Yan Yi only tentatively obstructed him, then allowed him to tear through the defense line and flee afar, with the Old Heavenly Master closely in pursuit.

Above La Garden.

Song Zhi fell from the red clouds, with a crash like a meteorite, landing near the shrine, and his bare feet shattered a piece of hard bluestone.

"Tubo Priest!"

He shouted loudly.

No one responded!

Inside the temple, the flames were bright, yet silent. The violent Divine Thought swept across the entire La Garden, and even spread outward, but there was no sign of Tuoba Weizhi’s presence.

Song Zhi’s heart suddenly sank, and he hurried into the temple, only to find that the two Jade Balls were also missing!

"Not good..."

Song Zhi was utterly shocked within his heart. Although he couldn’t understand the true purpose of Zhang Yan Yi and his group, it was undoubtedly not a good thing.

He turned his head and ran outside, coldly sweeping his gaze over the thousands of Divine servants below, and shouted:

"Where are they?! Answer me!"

The Divine servants turned a deaf ear, just stared at him blankly with eyes glowing red, motionless.

These Divine servants could only survive within La Garden and were under the control of the Priestess alone.

Song Zhi felt like a deflated ball, with no outlet for his anger.

"Hahaha..." High in the sky, the Old Heavenly Master laughed heartily:

"Powerless rage, how pathetic is it?"

Song Zhi’s vision went black, his anger spiked, and he stamped the ground and leaped up, attacking the Old Heavenly Master again.

Zhang Yan Yi no longer responded in battle, turned around, and left, sneering:

"You, this evil spirit, have brute force, but the poor Taoist, old and frail, can’t match in a fight, yet to think of detaining the poor Taoist, it’s sheer wishful thinking."

Even as he said this, the Old Heavenly Master did not put much distance between them, knowing that Zhao Douan hadn’t escaped far and needed more time.

Causing such a commotion, returning to the Imperial Palace from the ’gate’ in the Southwest Territory seemed unrealistic.

He also couldn’t immediately go to reunite, to avoid being tracked by Song Zhi.

"Then I can only keep entangling with this evil spirit a little while longer, and when I’ve shaken him off, then reunite. Hopefully, Mr. Zhao is safe."

Zhang Yan Yi pondered while escaping in flight.

Song Zhi, chasing while shouting towards the distant great village:

"Transmit the Divine decree, dig three feet across the land, find the Yu Country villains!"

The sound was thunderous.

Inside the great village.

Numerous alert members of the Liao Clan had their spirits lifted, shortly after, the village gates opened wide, and warriors mounted on steeds, wielding weapons, spread out like a tide in all directions.

...

...

In a part of the forest.

A phantom full moon emerged.

Zhao Douan and his group stepped out of it, their feet landing on the soft soil of the forest, their hearts still pounding like drums.

Adrenaline was surging!

They were just a moment away from being intercepted by the Great La Ba.

Fortunately... they successfully escaped.

Yet, they hadn’t even caught their breath when they heard an angry shout from the sky:

"Transmit the Divine decree, dig three feet across the land, find the Yu Country villains!"

Zhao Douan’s face changed:

"What’s all this gibberish about?"

He couldn’t understand the language of the Liao Clan!

Yu Xiu quickly translated, anxiously:

"We’re not far enough from La Garden, still in danger. As long as we’re within the Great Territory, under the Evil God’s range, we could be discovered at any time!"

Tuoba Weizhi said:

"I can reduce the chance of us being discovered by Him. However, the further I am from the Divine, the weaker my magic powers will be. My physical force will also be slightly weakened."

Jin Jian took a breath, swallowed a Pill, and opened another round moon:

"Let’s go!"

The four entered again and were transported a long distance away.

Afterward, Jin Jian completely disregarded the energy consumption and repeatedly activated the transport, fleeing northward all along the way.

When Jin Jian was exhausted, the group fled through the forest on foot, occasionally encountering Liao people, either dodging or killing them all.

A few times they were unlucky, almost bumping into the Great La Ba who flew overhead, so Tuoba Weizhi wiped away the power fluctuation on the group with his hand.

They hid in the forest and managed to avoid detection.

Thus, continuing without rest, fleeing and fighting, day turned to night, and after nearly a day of frantic escape.

Finally, at dawn on the second day, when the sky brightened.

The ragged group of four emerged from the forest, and in front of them the view opened up suddenly, revealing vast hills and plains.

A morning sun rose in the east, dispersing the night, and daylight broke!

Exhausted beyond measure, they sat uncaringly on the ground. Yu Xiu checked the Compass, exhaled, and with a look of having escaped a disaster, smiled:

"We’ve left the Great Territory; we are now in the territory of Yunfu Road."

Jin Jian, panting and clutching the Magic Wand, exclaimed with joy:

"The suppression of my mana has disappeared."

Having left the domain of the Great La Ba, as a disciple of the True God, she once again received the favor of the stars and moon.

"Ah, so tired..."

Immediately, bathed in sunlight, Jin Jian wilted again.

The sun rose, and the favor of the stars and moon was gone again...

"Haha..." Zhao Douan gasped for breath, his hair soaked with sweat. Feeling the coolness of the morning, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

The last time he fled in such a panic was when being chased by the Sorrow God.

Fortunately, although there were several twists and turns along the way this time, they managed to return to Yu Country, bringing back a crucial ’key.’

Thinking of this, Zhao Douan turned his head and then froze.

He saw the mysteriously charismatic Priestess sitting quietly on the ground, her luxurious robe dirty and ragged. She wrapped her arms around her knees, staring distractedly at the glorious sunrise.

The sunlight fell on Tuoba Weizhi’s slightly dark brown face, and in her deep eyes, there was a full of curiosity and longing for the new world.

For six hundred years, it seemed like she was seeing the world for the first time.
