Although the right arm of the Ghost King was shattered, the blood mist exploded instantly. A powerful force directly forced Deng An and Qi Xuan back.
This was a thod similar to self-detonation, blowing up one's right arm to gain powerful strength, and indeed it had a very formidable effect. But this thod can't be used too many tis; after all, a person's organs are limited. How many tis can you use this self-mutilating thod?
However, when the blood mist exploded, the speed of the Ghost King greatly increased and he rushed directly into the black vortex.
"Where do you think you're running to?" Deng An shouted, rushing forward to chase through the vortex.
"Don't go!" Qi Xuan pulled him back.
Deng An watched as the black vortex disappeared and imdiately panicked, "Old Qi, what are you doing? That kid is almost dead, why don't you let go kill him?"
"Do you know who's on the other side?" Qi Xuan glared and said, "Anyone who can use the Gate of Life must be the Jade-faced Judge. If he's on the other side of the Gate of Life, going over ans certain death!"
Deng An froze for a mont, scratched his head, and said, "If it's really the Jade-faced Judge, if he cos through the Gate of Life himself, we're dead too!"
"It's different!" Qi Xuan shook his head: "Crossing the Gate of Life requires power depletion. Furthermore, the Jade-faced Judge doesn't know our situation here, so he wouldn't dare co over recklessly. Therefore, the safest thod is to save people, not to co over to kill!"
Deng An thought about it and realized it made sense, so he stopped grumbling.
Qi Xuan took him towards Su Yang and Lv Donglin. Seeing Lv Donglin, even the brawny Deng An's eyes turned red, and he imdiately knelt before Lv Donglin: "Young Master, I am late in coming to your rescue, please punish !"
Lv Donglin, with tears in his eyes, quickly helped Deng An up, tremblingly saying, "Uncle Deng, it's really great to see you again!"
Deng An nodded repeatedly, "Young Master, don't worry, I will definitely kill all the people of the four major sects to avenge our lord!"
Qi Xuan slapped him and spat, "What are you saying? Our lord might not have died in battle, the four major sects are just boasting. With our lord's strength, how could they possibly kill him?"
Deng An froze for a mont, then nodded repeatedly, "Right, right, those worthless fools, how could they kill our lord? The lord is definitely in hiding, the four major sects are just bragging, we don't have to worry!"
Qi Xuan ignored this brawny man and looked at Lv Donglin and Su Yang, "Young Master, Su Alliance Leader, should we switch locations for now? The Ghost King has gone back, the Jade-faced Judge would know our situation and might send people over, it's temporarily unsafe here!"
Su Yang nodded, that's certainly true.
"We just arrived here..." Lv Donglin looked at the ruins beneath his feet and said softly, "They say my uncle died in battle, I want to search here. Unless I find my uncle's body, I refuse to believe he has died in battle!"
"Young Master, there's no need to search nearby," Qi Xuan said, "I have been here for two days and searched everywhere without finding any trace of the lord. So, the four major sects are surely boasting, how could they possibly have killed the lord?"
On hearing this, hope filled Lv Donglin's face. Not finding a body here is indeed a good thing.
Since Qi Xuan already searched here, they didn't linger and hurriedly left the area.
They didn't dare enter the city but kept to the mountain forests, eventually finding an extrely hidden place to temporarily hide.
In this hiding spot, even the Jade-faced Judge would find it difficult to find them. Moreover, with Su Yang carrying the World lting Furnace, even if the Jade-faced Judge's n found the place, they could hide inside the World lting Furnace.
Of course, to be safe, after entering this area, Su Yang first found a hidden place to temporarily bury the World lting Furnace.
This way, even if the Jade-faced Judge found the place, if Su Yang and the others hid inside the World lting Furnace, they could avoid detection. After all, the Jade-faced Judge's n could sense Su Yang and the others' presence but not the presence of the World lting Furnace.
Once everything was arranged, Su Yang and the others sat down and recounted the situations they each encountered.
Primarily, Qi Xuan and Deng An told about the situation at Yan Gui City, including how the Beigong War God left the Gate of Life to evacuate them at the critical mont. The plan was thwarted as the Jade-faced Judge discovered and took the Gate of Life ring, causing the Beigong War God's plan to fail.
Hearing this, Su Yang finally understood what the Beigong War God's contingency plan was, and why it failed to be used.
It must be said, the Jade-faced Judge is a very terrifying person. Though very old, he knows many things and is wise and resourceful, with extraordinary strength. Having such an enemy is indeed troubleso.
Later, Qi Xuan also recounted Beigong War God forcibly opening the Gate of Life to send everyone away.
Hearing this, Su Yang was surprised, "The ring was taken away, can Uncle Beigong still open the Gate of Life?"
"It can be opened but at a great cost!" said Qi Xuan, "The lord, to save us, forcibly opened the Gate of Life without the aid of magic artifacts, consuming a large amount of power. Otherwise, how could those people have hard him?"
Deng An nodded repeatedly, waving his axe and angrily said, "Those bastards, when I find them, I'll chop them one by one into halves!"
Qi Xuan glanced at Deng An speechlessly; this man's temper is always irritable, as he showed now.
"I say, Deng An, why did you change your weapon?" Qi Xuan suddenly asked, "Didn't you use hamrs before?"
Lv Donglin also looked over, noting Deng An used to wield dual hamrs; how co he suddenly switched to an axe?
"The lord said using hamrs was better, less sharpness, less killing intent," Deng An said, "But now that we've been bullied like this, why should I restrain my killing intent? So, I've switched to an axe. Damn it, if I encounter people from the four major sects, I'll chop them to death without fail!"
Lv Donglin and Qi Xuan exchanged looks and chuckled helplessly. This is exactly Deng An's character; only the Beigong War God's words can get through to him, anyone else's would be ineffective. Even Lv Donglin, once Deng An's stubborn temper sets in, couldn't do anything with him.
"By the way, Uncle Qi Xuan, Uncle Deng An, weren't you two transported away by the Gate of Life together? Why didn't you return together?" Lv Donglin asked in surprise.
