Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Shangguan Wan'Er smiled enchantingly, speaking of how she'd risked her life to save Ling Fei as if it were nothing at all.

It was a smile Ling Fei would never forget for the rest of his life.

At that moment, the atmosphere at the entrance of the Cold Cave was incredibly sweet.

"Next time, don't be so impulsive. A peerless beauty like you... I should be the one protecting you, not the other way around," Ling Fei said, gazing at Shangguan Wan'Er. For some reason, his blood was boiling at that moment, and an urge to protect the young woman before him surged in his heart.

The affection in his eyes was plain to see.

Hearing Ling Fei's words, Shangguan Wan'Er didn't feel the slightest bit of aversion.

In the past, if anyone had made such a veiled confession to her, they would have been met with a cold glare.

But now, Shangguan Wan'Er simply gazed at Ling Fei, as if trying to commit this very moment to memory.

The young man's words filled her with a strange sweetness.

"However, as you are now, you're still a little lacking if you want to protect me," Shangguan Wan'Er suddenly said with an enchanting smile, a rare playfulness in her tone.

Shangguan Wan'Er's expression left Ling Fei momentarily stunned. When this woman before him was cold and aloof, it made one want to conquer her.

Now, with a smile as radiant as a flower, her playful demeanor made one want to steal a kiss.

However, her words made Ling Fei's face flush with embarrassment.

After all, he was still a fugitive. How could he even talk about protecting the young woman before him?

"For now, let me help you resolve this crisis," Shangguan Wan'Er said suddenly, her expression turning solemn.

She lifted her gaze to the Void ahead, a look of determination appearing in her eyes.

"This time, as long as we can leave this mountain range alive and get to Celestial River Academy, I will do everything in my power to help you resolve this crisis." Shangguan Wan'Er seemed to have made up her mind. Then, her gaze shifted to Ling Fei beside her as she spoke, word by word.

She had wanted to help Ling Fei resolve this crisis even before.

Now, after they had once again faced life and death together, that desire had grown even stronger.

"The Dongyang Crown Prince I killed is said to be the Empress's nephew. Resolving this crisis will be difficult!" Ling Fei said with a long sigh.

Not only that, but there's also Liu Ming and the others.

They are all disciples from major clans, with Primordial Pill Realm Cultivators backing them. How could it be so easy to quell this storm?

"Don't despair. The current Celestial Emperor is wise and greatly cherishes talent. If he learns that this matter was not your fault, he will surely see justice done for you," Shangguan Wan'Er said.

"The Celestial Emperor?" Hearing this, Ling Fei's brow twitched. "Would the Celestial Emperor get involved in something like this?"

The Celestial Emperor...

He's the master of the Empire. How could he possibly handle everything personally?

"Ordinary people indeed have a hard time meeting the Celestial Emperor, but I have a chance," Shangguan Wan'Er said. "As long as I can see him, I'm confident I can get him to investigate this matter. With the Celestial Emperor's Divine Techniques, which can perceive all matters between heaven and earth, he can certainly grant you justice and resolve this storm."

"Really?" Ling Fei couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope at her words.

In the past, although he had heard that the current Celestial Emperor was wise, he didn't truly understand what he was like.

Now, seeing Shangguan Wan'Er speak with such confidence, he couldn't help but feel a little more expectant.

If the Celestial Emperor could truly grant him justice, then he would be reborn.

'As long as I can get through this crisis, once I've grown stronger in the future, I'll be able to stand proudly above the nine heavens.'

'At that time, it won't be so easy for these people to bully me, Ling Fei.'

"Trust me. As long as we can leave this place alive, there will be a turning point," Shangguan Wan'Er said.

"But our situation right now is a bit tricky!" Ling Fei said.

So many people were hunting him. Escaping this place was easier said than done.

"Perhaps I could leave this place alone and go to the Imperial Capital, but it's not safe for you to be here by yourself." Shangguan Wan'Er's brow furrowed tightly.

"If only someone from the academy would come to help," Shangguan Wan'Er then murmured to herself.

At this point, she could only place her hopes on the experts from Celestial River Academy hearing the news and coming.

Only then could they resolve the current crisis.

"Celestial River Academy?" Ling Fei's eyes flickered. Although he felt a sliver of hope, he didn't get his hopes up too much.

After all, asking Celestial River Academy to confront the Empress and the experts from various major clans was clearly asking too much.

"There's a cave up ahead. Let's go check it out." Just then, a voice reached Ling Fei's ears.

His Heart Spirit Sensing reached out, and he saw a Celestial Spirit Cultivator in the distant Void speaking to two Iron Level Divine Guards beside him.

"They've caught up," Ling Fei said to Shangguan Wan'Er, his gaze hardening. "We need to head deeper into the mountains to avoid them."

"Okay." Shangguan Wan'Er didn't hesitate in the slightest.

With just the two of them, they obviously couldn't contend with so many Divine Guards of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Escape...

It was their only option.

With a thought from Ling Fei's Heart Spirit, the Golden Eagle within his Dragon Bone transformed into a stream of light and materialized out of thin air.

Then, Ling Fei and Shangguan Wan'Er leaped onto the Golden Eagle's back.

The next moment, the Golden Eagle beat its wings and flew toward the depths of the mountain range.

The Golden Eagle flew at a low altitude, weaving between the mountains to evade its pursuers.

However, someone in the Void above was scanning the area in all directions and still managed to spot Ling Fei.

"There's a Golden Eagle over there! Could that be Ling Fei?"

"After them! Let's get a closer look first." Immediately, people gave chase.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Streams of light shot forward in hot pursuit.

More and more people were joining the pursuit of Ling Fei.

Ling Fei continuously weaved through the mountains. A cold current swept toward them from ahead, making it seem as if the very Void was about to freeze solid.

However, Ling Fei constantly urged his Dragon Bone to frantically absorb the Cold Qi, ensuring the Golden Eagle was not affected by the chill in the slightest.

During this process, the True Qi Ling Fei had previously expended was also being continuously replenished.

But the flying beasts behind them were feeling immense pressure from the cold.

In this way, Ling Fei steadily increased the distance between himself and his pursuers.

After traveling another eight hundred li deeper into the mountains, some Celestial Spirit Level flying beasts began to appear.

These flying beasts blocked Ling Fei and Shangguan Wan'Er's path.

Facing existences at the Celestial Spirit Realm, even Shangguan Wan'Er found the situation tricky.

Just then, a total of nineteen Snow Eagles flew toward them.

These Snow Eagles were wreathed in Cold Qi, and with every beat of their wings, a cold current would sweep out.

ROAR!

Ling Fei's gaze hardened, and he unleashed the True Dragon Roar at the Snow Eagles.

The dragon's roar rang out, its sound waves rolling like terrifying tsunamis, crashing into the Snow Eagles. The sonic assault stunned them all into a daze.

The next moment, Ling Fei rode the Golden Eagle through the Void, bypassing the flock of Snow Eagles.

The Snow Eagles' souls trembled, but they were unharmed. Just as they were about to plummet into the valley, they managed to stabilize themselves in time.

But just as they flew back up into the sky, a group of Cultivators arrived, drawn by the sound.

Soon, the Snow Eagles were flying toward those Cultivators.

Lacking any Soul Secret Techniques, those people had no choice but to fight.

A great battle immediately began.

Meanwhile, Ling Fei took the opportunity to continue deeper into the mountains.

Ling Fei ventured deeper and deeper into the Cold Vein, seemingly having shaken off the Cultivators.

However, the news of his appearance in the Beichuan Mountain Range had also spread.

"What! That Ling Fei is in the Beichuan Mountain Range?" Wang Tianba had just received the news.

"Everyone, follow me and we'll capture this brat!" Wang Tianba declared word by word, gazing at the distant mountain range. "He killed a man of my Wang Clan! I'll tear him limb from limb!"

"Yes, sir!" Beside Wang Tianba, a full hundred Cultivators of the Celestial Spirit Realm nodded in agreement.

Many of these people were Divine Guards from Tianyan Academy. They had come after hearing the news and gathered by his side to hunt down Ling Fei.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Seething with killing intent, Wang Tianba led a group of experts from Tianyan Academy and flew toward the Beichuan Mountain Range.

And this news continued to spread, causing more and more Divine Guards to rush over after hearing it.

"Quick, tell Vice Dean Zhou this news!" At the same time, people from Celestial River Academy also received the message.

For a time, the Beichuan Mountain Range became a gathering storm, with flying beasts carrying Cultivators one after another, delving deep into the range.

A truly great tempest was clearly about to begin.
