Chapter 307 Can't Escape
"Right now, all of Saint Han City is enveloped by the Great Immortal Subduing Formation. It's useless against ordinary mortals, but it's specifically targeted at cultivators. Not only does it have the ability to imprison them, but it can also suppress spiritual energy and confuse people. It's very insidious.
"Luckily, I've encountered an even more powerful Grand Immortal Subduing Formation before and I've seen how it can be broken. That's how I was barely able to carve out a secret path in the formation. Through this secret path, I can escape from the imprisonment of the Grand Immortal Subduing Formation.
"After carving out the passage, I immediately returned to the palace to look for my master. I almost ran into the Empress of Providence."
Jin Fei recounted her experience and brought him some good news.
She was an expert in spatial energy and had some understanding of the Great Immortal Subduing Formation. Carving out a passage through the formation was the best possible outcome.
"Oh right, young master, how did you end up here?
Was it the Empress of Providence's doing? "asked Jin Fei.
Zhao Mu nodded.
"That tyrant has a backer behind her, and she's very ambitious. She seems to want to use the souls of the 100,000 cultivators who came to celebrate her birthday to help her practice her evil arts. She guessed that I also have a backer from the Immortal World and wanted to cooperate with me. I refused, so she imprisoned me in her palace."
"I'll get you out immediately."
Jin Fei was worried that the situation would worsen if she delayed. She didn't care whether the Empress of Providence would discover her or not. She immediately slashed out with her sword, forcibly carving a hole in the barrier around the Empress' chambers and rescuing Zhao Mu.
Although he'd successfully escaped, Zhao Mu's power was still sealed. He couldn't circulate his spiritual energy and could only hide in Jin Fei's void space.
"Let's go find Xiang Ningbing and Ning Qingying first," said Zhao Mu.
He couldn't just leave his little disciple and the rich woman behind.
"Don't worry, young master. When I was looking for you just now, I found them and sent them to a safe zone in the outer city." Jin Fei smiled.
"You're reliable!" Zhao Mu gave her a thumbs-up.
Jin Fei was a capable girl in every sense of the word.
As expected of a woman who could become a royal retainer.
The sky was filled with white mist and murderous intent.
No one knew whether or not there were screams coming out of the white fog, or what the situation was like.
However, Jin Fei did not seem to be affected at all. She moved freely through the white fog and quickly broke through the white fog. She flew out of the palace and concealed herself all the way until she reached the outskirts of the city and found Xiang Ningbing.
Ning Qingying and Wen Yan were also here.
Jin Fei didn't explain. She directly grabbed the three of them and threw them into the void.
Zhao Mu was instantly submerged in the beauty. She was attacked from three sides and was unable to extricate herself.
Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a short while.
Not long after, Jin Fei led the four people out of Saint Han City through a secret passage. They ran for several hundred kilometers and hid in a safe area.
"Hu."
Breathing in the fresh air again, Zhao Mu felt much more relaxed.
"Master, are you alright? What happened just now? Why did the Yao race suddenly attack us?" Xiang Ningbing was a little agitated.
Her parents had died in a demon attack, so she was naturally very sensitive to such matters.
Ning Qingying and Wen Yan were still in shock. When they thought of the Sword Immortal Pavilion disciples who were still in the palace, they couldn't help but worry.
"Young Master Zhao, what should we do now?"
Zhao Mu tried to circulate his spiritual energy, but he was still restrained and couldn't use any power.
He stood on top of the mountain and looked in the direction of Saint Han City. He frowned and fell into deep thought.
He didn't know how great of an impact today's matter would have on the Immortal Martial Continent. Once the news spread, the other four Sacred Lands would definitely not sit by and watch. They might even join forces to suppress the Formless State.
The humans and demons had yet to welcome peace, but the humans were already facing internal strife. This was definitely not a good thing.
It was impossible for a top expert like the Profound Secrets Empress to not know how great of an impact her actions would have on the human race.
However, she still did it without hesitation.
It was clear that the immortal soul she wanted to cultivate was far more important to her than the human race.
This woman definitely had an even greater plan. Zhao Mu couldn't guess what she was thinking, but he was certain that no one could stop her from carrying out her plan.
The hundred thousand cultivators in the city were doomed.
Thinking back, Zhao Mu felt a wave of lingering fear.
He pulled Jin Fei into a hug.
"My dear Fei Bao, if you weren't here today, we would've all been in trouble."
Jin Fei smiled faintly. "Protecting the young master's safety is my duty. Young master, you don't need to worry about it. However, there is one thing that I am a little concerned about."
"What is it?"
"Young master, why is there an extra pupil in your left eye? Did you cultivate some kind of eye technique?" Jin Fei asked curiously as she stared at Zhao Mu's left eye.
An extra pupil?
Zhao Mu hurriedly took out a mirror. Sure enough, he found a slightly smaller, dark-red pupil in his left eye.
The pupil's gaze was extremely cold, reminding him of the way Empress Providence looked at him.
Goosebumps rose all over Zhao Mu's body.
Get up.
Damn it, that tyrant Empress Providence must've secretly cast a spell on him!
"Since you've guessed it, then get your ass back here. I don't have to invite you."
At that moment, a cold, emotionless voice sounded from the dark-red pupil.
It really was Empress Providence's voice.
Jin Fei immediately assumed a fighting stance, as if facing a great enemy. However, she couldn't find Empress Providence's voice anywhere.
"No need to look. She's still in Saint Han City. I …"
Before Zhao Mu could finish speaking, his body suddenly tensed up. Like a marionette, he flew into the air in a stiff posture, flying in the direction of Saint Han City.
Jin Fei turned pale with fright. She tried to stop him, but it was to no avail.
Zhao Mu's body was completely under her control. If she tried to stop him, she'd probably kill him.
Zhao Mu's consciousness hadn't dissipated, but he couldn't speak or communicate with Jin Fei. He was at his wit's end.
Xiang Ningbing and the others wanted to chase after him, but Jin Fei stopped them.
"This place isn't safe. Hurry and leave. Go to the Sword Immortal Pavilion and send a message. The situation is dangerous. We need a Sky Realm cultivator to resolve the crisis!"
Hearing Jin Fei's words, Ning Qingying immediately nodded in agreement.
She was a sensible and knowledgeable girl. She knew that in this kind of situation, with their strength, they would not be able to help at all. Instead, they would be a burden. The only thing they could do now was to send a message and ask for help.
Ning Qingying did not waste any time. She grabbed Wen Yan and Xiang Ning Bing's arms and forcefully dragged them away.
Jin Fei looked at Zhao Mu who was speeding up towards Saint Han City. Her figure flashed and disappeared into the void, secretly protecting Zhao Mu as they followed behind.
After an unknown period of time.
Zhao Mu, who was in a daze, woke up a little. When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was back in the empress's bedroom.
A thirteen or fourteen year old youth with rosy lips and white teeth was sitting in front of him.
"To be able to break my Great Immortal Subduing Array, your backer is pretty strong."
"How is it?
Master should have mentioned it to you already. Are you interested in joining forces with us? "
"Not talking?
If you don't say anything, it means you're rejecting me. Hehe, that's great. Your Human Sovereign Bloodline is mine! "
"Come, let me have a taste of the Human Sovereign's blood. Let me see how sweet and delicious it is!"
The red-lipped youth's expression was unusually excited. He rubbed his palms and walked in front of Zhao Mu. He opened his mouth and revealed a row of razor-sharp teeth.
