Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 1131 - 1141: A Clever Escape

The invisibility technique of Xiong Guansui is quite basic; it becomes ineffective once she moves. Although the Ghost King seems to have run far away, if she makes a move, she will be immediately discovered.

"My invisibility technique can only last for about two hours. By then, the Ghost King will have caught up with those two rays of light, realize it's been duped, and definitely come back. If I stay here without escaping, it will find me sooner or later."

Xiong Guansui worriedly said.

Could it be that Chu Feng, as clever as a demon, hadn't thought of this too?

Chu Feng took out two more Golden Cicada Shell Elixirs and casually tossed them out.

Another two rays of light appeared, but this time they shot off in two completely opposite directions.

"Let's go!"

As soon as Chu Feng spoke, Xiong Guansui couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise.

If she hadn't been afraid of attracting the Ghost King, she would've screamed out loud.

Now, she swallowed her scream. She shot a murderous glare at Chu Feng, as if she wanted to kill him.

"Your invisibility technique restricts you from moving, but mine doesn't. So, I plan to take you with me to escape." Chu Feng said, holding her and dashing forward.

Only then did Xiong Guansui understand Chu Feng's strategy.

First, use two Golden Cicada Shell Elixirs to lure the Ghost King away. Then, release two more to create chaos.

This way, even if the Ghost King turns back, it will not know which ray of light to chase.

By the time it catches all four rays and realizes it's been fooled, Chu Feng will already be kilometers away with Xiong Guansui.

Exceed its sensory range, and there will be no fear of being discovered again.

Every move had its purpose, interlocked intricately. No matter how fierce this Wailing Ghost King is, it'll be played around by Chu Feng.

In her heart, Xiong Guansui admired Chu Feng's strategy.

"Silly girl, don't be so tense, like a stiff board, heavier than a corpse. Women are like water, be gentle, understand?" Chu Feng noticed Xiong Guansui was extremely tense.

Besides, carrying her was quite strenuous.

After all, using the Shadow Escape Technique consumed a terrifying amount of Chu Feng's qi-blood and Sword Essence.

If she cooperated a bit, they could escape faster, increasing their chances of evading the Ghost King's pursuit.

Already unhappy about being carried, Xiong Guansui grew furious as Chu Feng mocked her for being a block of wood.

Icy stares like physical substance shot from her Phoenix Eyes, wishing to pierce Chu Feng with holes.

Yet, Chu Feng, unfazed by her murderous glare, teasingly said, "Silly girl, you really falling for me? Don't look at me so affectionately, or I won't be able to handle it."

"Try taunting me once more, and I swear I'll kill you even if the Ghost King finds us!"

Xiong Guansui exuded an extremely dangerous aura, flames of anger nearly blazing from her beautiful eyes. But with Chu Feng's teasing, her previously tense body relaxed quite a bit.

Now, carrying her was much more comfortable.

Chu Feng dared not provoke the fierce young lady further, focusing solely on their path.

They galloped along, safely invisible thanks to the Shadow Escape Technique, undisturbed by any ghosts.

An hour later, they had already escaped nearly ten kilometers away.

Chu Feng was nearly exhausted.

"Put me down!" Xiong Guansui realized Chu Feng might continue carrying her until the end of time.

Though enjoying the protection, she was thin-skinned, cold as ice, and too self-respecting to overstep with any man.

Honestly, being carried by Chu Feng for so long already exceeded her acceptance limit.

However, prioritizing the danger from the Ghost King, she gritted her teeth and endured.

"You think I want to carry you? You're heavy as a pig, exhausting me to death." Chu Feng panted heavily, swallowing an elixir to replenish his qi-blood, gripping a Spirit Stone to quickly restore Sword Essence.

After advancing to the Supreme Sword God Realm, he could draw energy directly from the void, converting it to Sword Essence.

Recovery now is over ten times faster than in the Sword God Realm.

Sword Essence rarely runs low anymore.

"Insult me again, and you won't be let off easy!" Xiong Guansui's temper flared intensely.

With a swish, she summoned a Heavenly Divine Weapon, glaring at Chu Feng. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Girls hate being compared to pigs, whether implying fatness or laziness—it's never taken well.

"What! Want to repay kindness with enmity?" Chu Feng wasn't worried about her attacking. He's got trump cards aplenty; even unleashing a pet would make Xiong Guansui understand his appeal.

Summon Chu Feng's Demon Body, and she'd be singing surrender in moments.

At that moment, the two saw a stunning beam from Wangxiang Platform up ahead.

"Senior Qin Jian must have reached Wangxiang Platform; we should hurry!" Without resting, Chu Feng quickly dashed toward the platform.

Despite her fierce demeanor, Xiong Guansui was quite kindhearted.

She knew this narrow escape from death was thanks to Chu Feng's daring rescue.

Worried about Chu Feng overexerting and risking himself, she stayed close, ready to assist at any time.

...

It was said that Wang Mountain could tire a horse to death.

They ran nearly two full days before finally reaching the foot of Wangxiang Platform after much difficulty.

Looking up from below, it towered into the sky, its summit unseen.

Legend tells of a mighty pillar called Buzhou Mountain, later toppled by Gonggong.

The fallen portion sank underground, becoming the fabled Wangxiang Platform. Later fused into the Six Paths of Reincarnation by Ancestor Witch Xuanming and Houtu, it became the final highpoint for ghosts to gaze at their earthly homeland.

Its height is truly intimidating.

Whether climbing Wangxiang Platform truly lets you see your homeland, who knows?

"I once doubted Wangxiang Platform formed from Buzhou Mountain's fallen part. Seeing it today, I finally believe," Chu Feng said with a smile.

Accompanied by the beauty Xiong Guansui, his journey felt less lonely and dull.

Xiong Guansui maintained her frosty demeanor, refusing to initiate conversation with Chu Feng.

Yet whenever Chu Feng spoke to her, she responded—neither enthusiastically nor coldly.

"It does resemble a mountain peak, inverted on the ground, a cone shape," Xiong Guansui mused, having never seen such a bizarre mountain. "With the Anti-fly Formation inside this Immortal Tomb, how do we ascend?"

Xiong Guansui was perplexed.

Imagine standing at the base of an inverted conical mountain, how could one climb it? There's simply no way up.
