Chapter 88: Threads of Affection

  The next morning, Su Che dressed up and left Tianxuan Sect, heading for Dongping County over 3,000 miles away.

  At first disguised as a cultivator of the third layer of Qi Refining, it wasn't until he was over 500 miles away from the Tianxuan Mountain Range that Su Che transformed back into his seventh-layer Qi Refining spiritual power fluctuations. He stepped onto a high-quality flying sword and flew off into the sky, soaring through the blue heavens.

  Yes, after entering the later stage of Qi practice, one can already fly with a flying sword. The most basic flight technique was practiced for two hours on Xuán Jī Peak yesterday afternoon and I can now basically fly steadily.

  Today, the sea and sky are vast, and I can roam freely. This feeling of flying at extreme speeds makes Su Che let out a hearty shout of excitement. Compared to running on two legs on land in the past, it's truly a world of difference!

  It can fly out eight hundred miles in one time, if it is not careless about the consumption of true energy, it will arrive at Dongping County before dark.

  Su Che was only enjoying the thrill of flying, and didn't know that at this time, two beautiful figures flew out of the Tianxuan Sect's mountain gate. Zhen Zhen was riding a spiritual sword, with a lovely woman behind her.

  The lovely lady is also an inner disciple of Tianwu Peak, with Su Che, both are practitioners of Qi Refining Seventh Layer. Half a year ago, she followed Zhen Lan to Jingji Peak to watch the duel between Su Che and Song Baozi, until today, she can still vaguely remember Su Che's appearance. But today, Su Che's position in her heart has completely changed...

  As soon as they flew out of the Tianxuan Sect's protective array, Zhen Zhen asked: "Fei Yun, which direction did he go?"

  "Eastward." A woman named Fei Yun pointed east, but then asked cautiously: "Sister, after catching up with him, what do you plan to do with him?"

  "What's wrong, can't bear it? Afraid I'll kill him?" Zhen Zhen smiled and said: "Fei Yun, your love for him now is all fake, it's just the 'Thread of Fate' at work. Once you retrieve the Thread of Fate, you will be extremely disgusted with him."

  "I know, I know, but still can't control it..." Fei Yun's female disciple sighed softly: "Sister Master, the feeling of liking someone is quite unbearable."

  "So, I will never like a man in this life." Zhen Zhen smiled against the wind, her smile full of elegance and arrogance, enough to show that what she despised was not just men.

  Zhen Zhen's flying sword was already a top-grade spirit artifact, and with her mid-stage foundation cultivation, its speed was quite frightening, cutting through the sky like lightning. It was much faster than Su Che's speed, and as long as the direction was correct, she could catch up to him in no time.

  As expected, after chasing for less than half a watch, a small black dot appeared on the horizon in the distance. Zhen Zhen asked in a low voice, "Is it him?"

  Fei Yun hesitated for a moment, exerting great effort to control her unbearable emotional pain, and nodded in response: "Yes."

  "You stinky little brat, I've caught up to you!" Zhen Zhen's mouth curled into a faint smile as she urged her horse on, speeding up even more.

  In front of him, Su Che was practicing several high-difficulty aerial postures when he suddenly heard Lao Hei shouting loudly in the immortal prison: "Ah no, Master, hurry up and hide! That stinky woman is coming after us!"

  Su Che's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't even have time to turn his head back to look, completely following Lao Hei's intention, he dived down towards the ground with a loud whoosh, at a suicidal speed.

  Bang!

  A palm print flew into his mouth, slapping his lips sore. Behind him, Zhen's flying speed was extremely terrifying, with two people loaded on the flying sword, it was like a thunderbolt falling from the ninth heaven, and in an instant, they were within arm's reach...

  Whoosh!

  Zhenyi flicked her wrist and tossed out a jade ring, which was the same magical artifact that had flashed onto Zhenlan's body like lightning during their previous competition at the Peak of Fighting.

  That day, Zhen Lan, who was in the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Refining, was instantly sealed by this Jade Ring Treasure, not to mention that Su Che had only reached the 7th layer of Qi Refining.

  Su Che was still diving down, shouting desperately in his heart: "Dun Di Dan, take effect quickly!"

  It's staring right at us and is about to crash into the ground...

  Bang! Bang......

  The earth shook just as the relatives were about to arrive, and with a "plop", Su Che transformed into the son of the earth once again, burying his head in his mother's warm and boundless embrace.

  The white jade ring flew into Su Che's lingering shadow on the ground and then returned to Zhen Zhen's hand with a swoosh.

  It was just a hair's breadth away, but he jumped out of it!

  "Tanuki's Den!"

  Zhen Zhen gritted her teeth in anger, still wondering in her heart how the stinky brat could have discovered her in time when he hadn't even turned his head back and couldn't possibly possess spiritual awareness.

  Behind her, the lovely woman 'Fei Yun' let out a sigh of relief, and in her heart, she couldn't help but think: "Great, great, he dodged it..."

  I know it's wrong to think this way, but a thread of feelings has already tied itself to that man. His care is hard to resist, and the feeling is simply contradictory and unbearable. If this goes on for too long, I might even develop a split personality...

  At this moment, Fei Yun's heart was in extreme disorder!

  But unexpectedly, Zhen Zhen didn't care about her feelings at all, turned around and said: "Fei Yun, even if he used the Earth Escape Technique to escape tens of thousands of miles away, he still can't escape the 'Kindness Thread' sensing. Tell me quickly..."

  Here is the translation:

  "By saying this, Zhen Zhen also noticed Fei Yun's painful expression, so she slowed down her tone and gently persuaded: "Fei Yun, you must be strong, remember, your feelings for him are all fake, they don't exist at all, just to help me catch him... This method was proposed by you yourself, wasn't it?"

  "Yes, yes."

  Fei Yun nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face: "Sister Master, I finally understand what it means to be trapped in one's own cocoon. I'm truly regretful to death."

  Zhen Zhen had only heard of the power of 'Qing Xin Si', but had never experienced it personally, and no matter what, she couldn't understand her feelings. At this moment, she burst out laughing: "Dead girl, now it's too late to regret, if you can't catch him, that strand of emotional thread, you'll never be able to retrieve it."

  Fei Yun wiped away her tears and pointed in a direction with infinite grievance, sobbing: "He...he went that way..."

  Seeing Fei Yun's current state, Zhen Zhen secretly warned herself: "Unexpectedly, the Fei Yun who used to be like me, looking down on men with disdain, has become like this. This kind of sentimental thread, I absolutely dare not touch..."

  Keep chasing!

  As a true disciple of Zhen, it wasn't difficult for Xun Lan to get her hands on several Earth Escape Pills. Her Qiankun bag indeed had some stored away for emergencies. However, since she now had Fei Yun's emotional connection, there was no need to dig underground to chase after him. She could just leisurely follow him, and sooner or later he would run out of medicinal pills and return to the surface.

  However, a long time has passed and that little brat still hasn't surfaced...

  "How many more Elixirs of Life does he have?" Zhen Zhen couldn't help but voice her doubts: "Fei Yun, are you sure you didn't sense incorrectly? Hasn't he suffocated underground already?"

  "No, he's definitely not dead." Fei Yun shook his head vigorously, with tears still visible on his face: "If he were dead, I would be in even more pain."

  Underground, Su Che had already consumed eleven Earth Concealment Pills, but Lao Hei was very certain that Zhen Zhen and another woman were flying in the sky, tailing him. It seemed they were extremely clear about his whereabouts.

  "There are still over a hundred more Dan pills left, which should be enough to last for another whole day. But when will this situation come to an end?"

  Su Che's heart was bitter, and he didn't know how many times he asked Lao Hei: "Lao Hei, haven't you found any clues yet?"

  At this moment, Su Che even if he was a fool, could guess that his body must have been planted with some kind of trick by Zhen Zhen. Because, during the time hiding underground, all the clothes on his body had been changed several times, but still couldn't shake off their pursuit, no doubt, the root of the problem must be hidden in his own body...

  "Master, I've searched thoroughly, repeatedly, and countless times, but I really can't find any flaws or weaknesses on you." In the immortal prison, Old Black sat on the ground with his two black furry legs spread out, scratching his head in frustration and sighing: "I'm at a loss, I just can't figure out the situation either."

  "This is troublesome."

  Su Che anxiously said: "Even if the Earth Escape Dan is abundant, it will eventually be depleted. If she really returns to the ground, her Jade Ring treasure will immediately trap me."

  Lao Hei also said: "Hmm, that Jade Ring is quite formidable, it's possible that it's an extreme-grade spiritual artifact."

  Forget it, let's take things one step at a time. Su Che gritted his teeth in his heart: "I'd rather grow roots underground than fall into that stinky woman's hands!"

  Continue to dig!

  Thirty zhang underground, endless earth escape...

  (Everyone, Su Che needs a certain number of recommendation votes to turn the tables and put on a good show. So, please support him, the situation is critical, he's already fallen to the bottom and can't climb out...)
