Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 215 The Weight of One Life

Ye Xiaozhou's coughing stopped abruptly.

She seemed somewhat incredulous and asked:

"You have?"

“Yes, Zhao Hua Niang asked me to look after Hua Ying Ting for her. She gave me this token, saying it can be used to send messages and also to travel to their continent.”

Ye Xiaozhou's breathing was disordered, and his meridians were almost broken, but his eyes still revealed a hint of disbelief.

This is the time for her to answer the call.

Logically speaking, things should not go as planned.

For example, after finally escaping the Liquan Realm, the man surnamed Xuan came after her; there was a teleportation array in the City Lord's Mansion, but she didn't bring the teleportation token with her.

It's not impossible that a cultivator might suddenly appear on the road, take a dislike to her, and kill her with a wave of his hand, or that a black bear might suddenly appear and startle Zhu Wuyao, causing her to be thrown in front of the man surnamed Xuan.

But now——

She had already begun to bid farewell to this world while in the Realm of Departure, when suddenly a door leading to the outside world appeared.

There was an unusable teleportation array, and if they kept running like this, they would be caught up by the man surnamed Xuan sooner or later. But Zhu Wuyao suddenly took out a token.

No, the question should be why Zhu Wuyao didn't run in any other direction, but instead fled to the city lord's mansion, which has a teleportation array?

Ye Xiaozhou has been cultivating Taoism for longer than Zhu Wuyao.

Knowing the gravity of being targeted by the Heavenly Dao, Ye Xiaozhou was particularly surprised.

The Xuan City Lord behind him missed several times, which made him even more frantic. He suddenly increased his speed and shot out a sharp spiritual force. Zhu Wuyao sensed it and quickly moved aside to avoid further injury to Ye Xiaozhou.

However, because the spiritual energy was too fast, Zhu Wuyao's leg was pierced through.

A chunk of flesh was ripped away, revealing the bone beneath, and blood gushed out.

Because of the excruciating pain, Zhu Wuyao staggered.

Lord Xuancheng also increased his speed at the same time, rushing over in an instant.

Misfortune never comes singly.

Ye Xiaozhou suddenly looked up and saw a cultivator flying on a sword in the distance, passing by this place.

The cultivator seemed to sense the abnormality here. She raised her hand and struck with a burst of spiritual energy. Ye Xiaozhou almost stopped breathing. She barely raised her hand to try to counterattack, but she couldn't condense any spiritual energy. All she could feel was a throbbing pain in her meridians.

As the cultivator's spiritual energy drew ever closer, Ye Xiaozhou was about to push Zhu Wuyao away—

But at that moment, the spiritual energy suddenly accelerated and crashed down on Lord Xuan.

Ye Xiaozhou's eyes widened.

Taking advantage of the moment when Lord Xuan was distracted by the attack from the horizon, Zhu Wuyao immediately continued running forward, temporarily stopping the bleeding from his leg by circulating his spiritual energy.

She certainly noticed that inexplicable attack from the horizon.

The replenishment of spiritual energy within the body tends to stabilize and gradually returns to a normal pace.

Zhu Wuyao looked ahead; there were still five or six miles to go...

She took a deep breath, not daring to stop for a moment.

The Lord of Xuan City has already returned to pursue it, and the attack just now did not cause it much damage.

Its current state seems to be that it has also cut off pieces of its brain to bind to the Liquan Realm. The Liquan Realm is destroyed, and what comes out is only its severely injured and decaying body.

Otherwise, Ye Xiaozhou, who was critically injured and on the verge of death, and Zhu Wuyao, who had been fighting all day and was in equally poor condition, would have had no chance of escaping.

Zhu Wuyao gritted his teeth and ran forward, the oppressive aura of the ferocious beast behind him gradually approaching.

It looked as if a tiger was breathing down the back of its neck.

He could slap her head off at any moment.

The distance between the two sides is constantly closing.

But just then!!

A hoe fell from the mountain and hurtled towards Zhu Wuyao and his companion. However, Zhu Wuyao was moving forward at full speed and had no way to dodge it immediately. He crashed straight into the hoe.

Because of the speed, Zhu Wuyao didn't even have time to set up the protective shield.

Ye Xiaozhou thought to himself—They're here!

That damned God really wanted her dead!

Ye Xiaozhou barely managed to turn his head to avoid the attack; the hoe only managed to snag a piece of blood-stained red cloth from his shoulder.

Because Zhu Wuyao was moving extremely fast, the hoe was changed direction by the gale and continued backward, narrowly missing the Lord of Xuancheng. It was then broken in two by the fierce wind and blown far away.

The Lord of Xuancheng suddenly stopped.

It seemed to have caught a whiff of what it was looking for.

He immediately changed direction and chased after the broken hoe, running wildly toward it.

Ye Xiaozhou blinked.

Full of surprise.

Because the Lord of Xuancheng's attention was diverted, the distance between the two sides widened rapidly once again. By the time it had completely smashed the hoe, Zhu Wuyao had already run far away.

She had no idea what was happening behind her.

However, it could be sensed that the ferocious beast that had been relentlessly pursuing them seemed to have fallen further away.

I dare not relax at all, even without being invited.

We cannot rely on the enemy making mistakes.

She ran forward at full speed, and soon after, she felt the faint pressure coming from behind her again.

It was still just as terrifying.

They did indeed catch up!

With only three miles left, Zhu Wuyao's spiritual energy replenishment rate in his dantian had returned to normal, but due to the full-force operation of the Concealing Breath Wind Movement Technique, the consumption was extremely high.

Ye Xiaozhou wanted to use the same trick again, tearing off the blood-stained cloth to distract it.

She could run extremely fast, but her injuries were so severe that she couldn't even lift her hand.

But there's always a way out—

No, it should be said that the whole world is opening its doors wide to the two of them.

Every time things get extremely dangerous, all sorts of unexpected events occur: besides the passing monks, the hoe that fell but wasn't damaged, there are even inexplicable landslides and bridges that inexplicably break apart...

They are too lucky.

Even Zhu Wuyao noticed something was wrong.

But like Ye Xiaozhou, she didn't believe this was some kind of divine favor.

Heaven's will only kill them both.

is it you?

Zhu Wuyao asked in his heart.

"That's the 'Fate-Binding Piece' I drew, isn't it amazing!"

The childlike voice of Lingbi came through my consciousness, carrying a hint of innocence and pride, as if it were a naive child.

The fate of the game... didn't it fall on Ye Xiaozhou?

This has always been Zhu Wuyao's concern.

"She would have come even without me."

"Besides, how could you possibly have the ability to form a bond with her? She's the one who helped you the most!"

Zhu Wuyao remained silent for a moment.

She didn't know what she had done wrong, but upon hearing these words, she felt as if she had been granted a pardon.

So, all along the way...

The carefree voice of the spirit pen rang out again, seemingly puzzled, and asked:

"You've done so many good deeds and helped so many people along the way, have you forgotten them all?"

I...I forgot...

"Let me see—you punished the villains who bullied men and women, wiped out a band of mountain bandits, and you even helped build a bridge, killed the monsters that the Juque Sect deliberately released, and helped lost children find their way home..."

The sound of the magic pen kept ringing out.

Zhu Wuyao sensed the faint presence behind her. She was very weak, but she had survived.

The arduous journey of a thousand miles was exchanged for the weight of a life.

Is this... the true meaning of "forming a bond through a single move"?
