Chapter 2559: Chapter 121: The Red Lantern Hangs High
He began to madly twist and turn in the seams of the world, constantly accelerating, accelerating, accelerating!
Although he rarely had personal experiences of passing through world seams, possessing the Qian Kun Cord allowed him to be extremely free here. His observation of the world seams had never ceased.
This was one of his escape routes, which of course he placed great importance on.
In the world seams filled with "Grudge Thought Traps", such terrifying speed was nearly suicidal. If not for years of preparation, he couldn’t have taken such risks. Yet Ge Fei had caught up relentlessly, making it impossible for him to shake him off.
Is Ge Clan’s inheritance really that strong? Or is it that Gao Zheng is indeed as rumored, hidden and exceptional, not an ordinary True Man?
For a while, neither could see the other; only two streaks of rainbow chasing one another swiftly.
Time blurred and seemed immeasurable.
In the midst of high-speed flight, an indistinct shadow suddenly loomed ahead.
Zhang Linchuan pretended not to know, adjusted his position, naturally shielding Ge Fei’s view. As they approached, he seized the opportunity to step sideways, his body like a Water Mirror stirring waves, Qian Kun Cord activated, instantly returning to the present world!
This step was too smooth, the world’s shadow conveniently becoming his trap.
Sometimes, a carefully designed trap doesn’t compare to something done effortlessly. When time and place align, it can turn into an absolute deadly situation.
Not just Ge Fei, even if Gao Zheng fell into this world shadow, he would be instantly consumed.
The place where he reappeared was an unknown valley.
On the eastern side of Yue Country, but far from Liang Country.
Before Zhang Linchuan could examine his gains or re-plan his route, the space in front opened like a door, and Ge Fei, with a strange face, had already walked out!
Even the always composed Zhang Linchuan couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise.
"Surprised? Is the world seam such a secret place? You seem to think only you know it well?" Ge Fei said with a bizarre smile, "You have no idea where I came from or how I came out."
"Sounds like I underestimated you." Zhang Linchuan chuckled twice, standing still: "So where did you come from, to be so confident?"
To be blunt, he was wary of the possible Gao Zheng behind Ge Fei. However, after this chase through the world seams, even the Insight of Truth True Man couldn’t catch any trace; he should have been left behind long ago.
As for those below Insight of Truth, who should he be afraid of?
"Of course I came from Ge Clan, but that’s not important." Ge Fei smiled and said: "The important thing is... you’ve provoked me! I am a descendant of Ge Clan, part of the nation’s geniuses, how could I let you, a demon, commit evil freely?"
He stepped towards Zhang Linchuan like before in Bai Pingfu’s study, actively breaking the dangerous distance.
And this time, Zhang Linchuan...
His feet seemed rooted, standing motionless.
"Ge Fei... it’s Ge Fei, right? Have you ever thought that the reason I left wasn’t because I’m afraid of you?"
Zhang Linchuan realized that this Ge Fei was completely different from what he knew, making it difficult to find a point of entry for Past Life Divine Skills, and the most reliable evil seeds opening couldn’t succeed easily.
But that’s also fine.
At this moment, they were already outside Yue Country. It was just a matter of quick battles, a straightforward kill.
Having fled for too long, the world seems to think that he, the Unborn Sect Founder, only knows how to run...
As his voice fell.
Thunder roared!
What had been a sunny day suddenly turned into lightning and thunder!
Upon Zhang Linchuan’s body, dark electric glimmers flickered faintly while dazzling bright thunder light had split the sky into numerous fragmented pieces!
This nameless valley was entirely engulfed by his furious power. Even ordinary God Descending Realm cultivators couldn’t manifest such presence.
Yet amidst the roaring gale, under the wildly dancing electric snakes.
Ge Fei also smiled—
"Zhang Linchuan, I’ll call you that for now... Have you ever thought that the reason I allowed you to leave, let you escape here, was simply because I didn’t want anyone to find out that when you killed Bai Pingfu, I was there?"
His eyes immediately turned one black and one white.
Suddenly this land seemed like a candle in the wind, flickering uncertainly!
...
...
The vast and fertile valley plains had long become a wasteland, not a single blade of grass growing.
The blood of the genius Zhang Xun spilled here but failed to germinate even a single sprout.
The cruelty of the world echoed thus.
North of the valley plains, the country named "Dan", once a mighty nation, now had its high-ranking officials being publicly judged by Gongsun Buhai, the head of the Executioner Palace, all kings, marquises, and ministers turned to prisoners. The dukes and powerful ones were all seated, courteous and refined, quietly waiting to feast.
South of the valley plains, the country named "Qiao". It was so close to Dan Country and maintained a close relationship, with frequent intermarriages between the royal families throughout history. Sharing glory and honor, supporting each other, countless alliances were signed... Now they could only quietly watch all this.
Most people knew that Dan Country and Qiao Country were spectators of the Valley War.
What most people didn’t know was that Dan Country and Qiao Country were survivors of the Valley War.
Or one might say, they were traitors...
Years ago, including Dan Country and Qiao Country, the valley countries had secretly plotted for many years, intending to form an alliance similar to the Northwest Five Countries Alliance. They hoped to find autonomy and freedom in the crevice between the two powerful nations of Qin Chu.
The plan had already reached the crucial moment. As long as Jinguo nodded support, they could become a thorn that even Qin Chu would find painful...
