Golden Light Paves the Road.

Jiang Feng ran faster and faster.

He saw the golden light stretching deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and he had once used this strange phenomenon, while only at the Primordial Realm, to shake off Xiao Zhan.

In the past, he needed some opportunity to trigger the Golden Light Paves the Road.

Now, with his Three-legged Body Technique cultivated to Great Perfection Level, he could summon Golden Light Paving the Road whenever he wanted, so Jiang Feng dashed along joyfully, guided by the golden light, running further and further into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

"Whoosh!"

The Saintess followed behind, flying on her sword.

"Where did he go?"

Three hours later, the Saintess frowned. She had flown at full speed, tossing Liu Chen aside just to catch Jiang Feng, but after chasing for three hours straight, she still couldn’t find any trace of Jiang Feng.

"Rapid Movement Talisman!"

So she activated a talisman and cast it into her flying sword.

She hadn’t expected she would have to waste a Rapid Movement Talisman just to chase a junior.

Her speed suddenly exploded upward.

Much faster than before by forty to fifty percent.

Three days later.

The Saintess arrived at the highest peak within a hundred-mile radius in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, her face dark and her breath chaotic. Chasing for three days straight, she still hadn’t caught sight of Jiang Feng.

She had already left the territory of the Red-haired Baboon.

To find Jiang Feng, she repeated her earlier trick—capturing various Little Demons for questioning in the forest, confirming the direction before chasing onward.

In three days, she used three Rapid Movement Talismans.

Still, she hadn’t caught Jiang Feng.

"Why does he keep running in this direction?"

The Saintess frowned.

"Damn, could it be that he..."

The Saintess seemed to realize something, her expression turning extremely ugly.

"Awooo..."

"Gulu, gulu."

"Fairy, my lord’s underlings report that the one you seek went in that direction."

The Saintess summoned Little Demons.

One of the Tiger Demons could speak human tongue, and the direction it pointed was just the same as what the Saintess suspected.

"Whoosh!"

The Saintess vanished on the spot, controlling her flying sword toward the direction where Jiang Feng had disappeared.

"Thank you, Fairy!"

The Tiger Demon, seeing the Saintess leaving behind a dozen drops of Spiritual Liquid, was truly grateful.

Three hundred miles away.

Jiang Feng stopped to rest by a small river.

Although his Three-legged Body Technique had reached Great Perfection, after using it for such a long time, it still consumed a lot of spiritual power. If not for the Saintess hot on his tail and his Fortune Points stabilized without much fluctuation, Jiang Feng would have stopped to rest long ago.

He did his best to absorb spiritual qi, strengthening his spiritual power.

Once he felt fully refreshed again, he performed the Three-legged Body Technique and, guided by the golden light, ran onward.

"Where the hell is this taking me?"

After running for so many days, always following the golden light, Jiang Feng found himself filled with curiosity about its guidance—and even some suspicion.

This Three-legged Body Technique was something he bought on the black market from a one-eyed old man. The first time he picked it up, it seemed nothing special. Due to its high price—over three hundred taels—Jiang Feng didn’t buy it at first sight.

Later, as life got easier, and with the Monkey Escape Technique handy, Jiang Feng stopped paying attention to the Three-legged Body Technique.

Not until he became an Upper Third-Grade Martial Artist.

When he saw the one-eyed old man still selling the same manual, Jiang Feng got curious and picked it up again—only to see golden footprints leap out of the book.

Sadly, it flashed for just a moment.

The phenomenon made the one-eyed old man’s eyes light up, but its quick disappearance left him looking disappointed, so he finally sold the Body Technique to Jiang Feng at the original price.

Clearly, the fleeting phenomenon had made the old man realize Jiang Feng wasn’t the person he’d been searching for—not someone who could truly master the Three-legged Body Technique, at least in his eyes.

Little did he know that Jiang Feng, with his attribute panel, began to cultivate the Three-legged Body Technique with Fortune Points, eventually training it to Great Perfection Realm.

Jiang Feng had escaped danger time and again thanks to the Three-legged Body Technique.

Now, using the Three-legged Body Technique in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and following the golden light, Jiang Feng felt more and more like this technique wanted to take him somewhere in particular.

Not just help him avoid risky paths.

"Whatever, as long as I can shake off the Divine Sect Saintess, I don’t care where it takes me."

Jiang Feng had no other options.

The image of the Two-tailed Wolf King getting one-shotted by the Divine Sect Saintess was still fresh; Jiang Feng would rather get led astray by his Body Technique than run smack into the Saintess again.

"I should have questioned Wu Weiwei back then. Maybe she could have told me more about the Three-legged Body Technique. If I recall, the one-eyed old man was planning to take her to Chishui County." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Wait a minute."

"The direction I’m running in now..."

Jiang Feng braked in time and took out his map to take a look.

He’d bought the map from a Turkic merchant. It didn’t have much detail about the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but judging by the direction, Jiang Feng could see that the golden light was guiding him toward Chishui County.

He’d taken a massive detour—avoiding the Red Earth Forest from the north, entered the chaos zone, then went to Fire God City, cut across the Xiangyang Kingdom, entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and after running non-stop for over half a month, he was about to end up back in the southern part of the Great Tang, right in Chishui County?

"The Three-legged Body Technique is a Divine Sect magic sect skill. Is it guiding me back to Sunset Town, into Divine Sect territory?"

Jiang Feng was startled by his own thought.

This would be suicidal for him.

One Saintess already had him running for his life—if the golden light guided him into Divine Sect territory, he’d be doomed.

He’d hidden in Fire God City, crossed Xiangyang Kingdom into the Hundred Thousand Mountains and still couldn’t shake off the Saintess. If he really ended up in Divine Sect territory, Jiang Feng felt ten lives wouldn’t be enough to survive the wrath of all those Divine Sect Disciples.
