“Go.”
Although reluctant in his heart, Feng Wentian did not drag things out. After casting a loving glance at Feng Qianxue, he spoke softly.
Qin Yichen and his companion nodded their heads, then their figures moved as they directly stepped into the Transport Array.
“Boy, if Qianxue suffers even the slightest harm, I won’t let you off when you return!”
Within the Transport Array, radiance gradually rose up. Feng Wentian waved his hand and shouted towards Qin Yichen inside, yet his gaze fell upon Feng Qianxue, who appeared like a delicate bird dependent on others, his eyes filled with reluctance and worry.
How pitiful are the hearts of parents everywhere. If he could, he wished for Feng Qianxue to live a carefree life under his protection for her entire existence!
However, the appearance of the True Phoenix Martial Soul meant he had no choice but to prioritise the Family. As the Feng Clan Patriarch, he could not confine her within the Six Imperial Dynasties due to his own selfish desires.
*Weng!*
Beside the Transport Array, several orderly voices also rang out as a few Feng Clan Elders all gently bowed towards the direction of the Transport Array.
This was their entrustment to Feng Qianxue, and also their respect for Qin Yichen!
Through the radiance of the Transport Array, watching this scene, Feng Qianxue’s delicate nose also tingled slightly. As if sensing the unusual state of the beauty in his embrace, Qin Yichen’s palms tightly gripped her small hands, and a sense of security instantly filled Feng Qianxue’s heart.
[Take care.] His vision gradually began to blur. Qin Yichen knew the Transport Array was about to activate. He gazed at the increasingly blurred figures, murmuring softly in his heart.
*Swoosh!*
Finally, the radiance of the Transport Array intensified to its peak. As space distorted, a powerful suction force surged forth. Then, the figures of Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue transformed into streams of light, rushing into the spatial vortex and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
With their disappearance, the Transport Array’s fluctuations gradually faded, and that wave which had originally filled the space also slowly settled down.
Everything returned to tranquillity. Only, the two figures within the Transport Array had already vanished without trace.
The entire area surrounding the Transport Array fell into complete silence, the atmosphere appearing somewhat dejected.
Sensing this dejected atmosphere, Feng Wentian could only smile bitterly and shake his head. He did not open his mouth to speak words that would reassure the Elders.
As for their expectations of Feng Qianxue, only the passage of time could prove this decision was the best one possible.
No matter what, he firmly believed that when he next saw Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue, the latter’s power would definitely shake the entire Sacred Lands!
…
In the azure sky above, below stretched an ocean of trees, continuing all the way to the edge of vision!
Within this ocean of trees, from time to time, roars of beasts that captured one’s very Soul rang out, bringing waves of commotion.
*Weng weng…*
Above the ocean of trees, the originally tranquil space suddenly distorted at this moment. Then, spatial turbulence raged forth, and actually a spatial vortex condensed and took form in mid-air. Subsequently, two figures shot out from that space, landing above the ocean of trees.
The moment the two appeared, their gazes swept around in all directions. Looking upon this vast and boundless ocean of trees, they both froze.
“Are we in the Sacred Lands?”
Within Feng Qianxue’s beautiful eyes, curiosity filled them completely. She could clearly sense that the concentration of World Energy in this space was something even the Feng Clan’s territory could not compare to!
After a slight pause, Qin Yichen retrieved a scroll from within his robes, then unfurled it. Within were densely packed countless lines, unmistakably a massive map.
Qin Yichen’s gaze swept across it, then pointing at a certain location on the map, he said. “It seems our luck isn’t too bad… This place is still a day’s journey from Saints City. Let’s head to Saints City first. Someone there will come to receive us.”
Originally, he had thought that even with the help of the Space Imprint, the Feng Clan’s Transport Array being able to enter the Sacred Lands territory would already be quite good. He had not expected it would also deliver them to a place not far from Saints City.
“Sacred Lands… I, Qin Yichen, have returned!” Qin Yichen’s gaze looked towards a certain direction, excitement surging across his face. “Let’s go!”
Watching Qin Yichen, Feng Qianxue also smiled faintly. Immediately, the two figures moved, transforming into two streams of light, rapidly shooting towards the direction of Saints City.
Following the direction depicted on the map and the route in his memory, Qin Yichen led Feng Qianxue in low-altitude flight. Along the way, whenever they sensed some powerful auras of Demonic Beasts within the ocean of trees, he deliberately avoided them. This undoubtedly slowed their speed considerably, but it also saved them much trouble.
The territory of the Sacred Lands was extremely vast. Even the combined territories of the Six Imperial Dynasties were insufficient to match a mere fraction of it. Naturally, powerful individuals were numerous within this territory.
As they flew through the trees, Qin Yichen also detected quite a few formidable auras. However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he deliberately maintained a low profile, making no attempt at making contact.
In this sort of place, being careful and cautious in one’s actions would always be safer. After all, hidden within this vast territory were quite a few individuals with terrifying might.
After flying for over two hours, Qin Yichen also pulled Feng Qianxue down to descend into the ocean of trees, walking slowly. The latter only possessed cultivation at the Martial King Realm, and moreover, unlike him, she couldn’t constantly absorb World Energy or even Sun Spiritual Essence to replenish herself.
Amidst the green, shaded forest, two figures slowly proceeded. Dappled sunlight filtered through the gaps between the forest leaves, cascading down upon their bodies. This atmosphere appeared very tranquil and comfortable.
“Brother Yichen, how much further is it?” Following behind Qin Yichen, Feng Qianxue softly asked.
“Soon…” Qin Yichen smiled faintly, gently grasping her soft, boneless little hand, greedily inhaling a breath of that enchanting fragrance as he spoke.
“What if someone sees us!” Her small hand being held, Feng Qianxue’s pretty face reddened slightly as she chided coquettishly. However, she did not withdraw it, instead sweetly enjoying the sense of security brought by being held by this warm, large hand.
“Hmm?” Just as Qin Yichen was about to speak, his brows suddenly furrowed, his steps halted, and his pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly as he looked towards the distant mountain forest.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Qin Yichen stop in his tracks, Feng Qianxue’s large eyes also blinked, asking somewhat puzzled.
“Someone ahead is heading this way. From the looks of it, they seem to be fleeing for their lives.” Qin Yichen furrowed his brows, speaking casually.
“Could they be pursued by Demonic Beasts? Brother Yichen, should we help them?” Feng Qianxue’s face became solemn as she asked.
“It doesn’t seem to be Demonic Beasts…” Qin Yichen smiled indifferently, saying. “No need to concern ourselves with them. We’ll go our own way.”
