Chapter 59 Ch : Phantom
"Let's go!"
Ye Xiao spoke to the Chaos Beast and was about to climb the beast's back when he was stopped by a claw.
Ye Xiao frowned and looked at the Chaos Beast in front of him. At first, he thought that this beast will listen to him since he was left here by Yu Rong for him, but he did not expect this beast to stop him.
"I can't sense her anymore. Looks like that woman has gone. Now, let's talk about something important!"
The Chaos Beast suddenly spoke.
Ye Xiao frowned and looked at it. He already knew that Chaos Beasts could speak, but he did not expect this Chaos Beast to have something important to say.
"What do you want to talk about?" Ye Xiao asked.
"Because of that woman's restriction, I could not leave your side. If I did that, my body will explode and I will die. But it doesn't mean I'm loyal to you or will listen to everything you say."
Ye Xiao clearly knew that this beast wants to say something else. So he asked expressionlessly. "Don't dawdle around and say it clearly what you want."
The Chaos Beast looked at Ye Xiao with big eyes and finally spoke: "All I want is to be full. Since I'm restricted to never leaving your side by that woman, you have to take care of me well. You can not order me around all day. You have to feed me until I am full. Also, if one day, you have no use for me, you have to give me my freedom back!"
Ye Xiao still did not show any expression on his face. He simply nodded and said: "Ok!"
That's all.
After that, Ye Xiao climbed the back of the beast and said: "I'll call you Phantom from now on. Let's go to the nearest city!"
"The nearest city is too far away. If we fly, we'll still need more than three months to go there."
"What?" For the first time, a frown appeared on Ye Xiao's expressionless face. Then he said, "She clearly said before that a city is very near. How could it be so far?"
"The city is near for her. She is damn strong. She defeated me with just a wave of her hand. For a person as strong as her, of course, that city is near. But for us, it is extremely far away!" 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢
When Ye Xiao thought about it, Phantom sound right.
After all, who knows from where, but Yu Rong was able to bring him to the Land of Morning Stars with a wave of her hand. This alone shows how powerful she is. For her, traveling millions of miles in a single second is not a problem.
"Three months, can't you be faster?"
Phantom replied, "We can take a Flying Ship. I know a person. That person saved me when I just hatched out of an egg. If not for him, I would have died. He lives alone not far away. Let's go!"
Phantom brought Ye Xiao to a place not far away. It was a deserted place. A small hut made of dried bamboo and long grasses could be seen.
"Fang Da!"
Phantom called out and very soon, the hut's door opened. A man walked out of the hut and excitedly said, "Little black, you are here!"
"I told you many times not to call me Little Black." Phantom seemed to be displeased hearing Fang Da calling him Little Black. He said, "I have a name now. Call me Phantom. Also, we need your Flying Ship."
"My Flying Ship?" Fang Da seemed to be surprised. Then he saw Ye Xiao sitting on Phantom's back and revealed a stunned expression. Then he said: "And he is?"
Phantom very quickly introduced Ye Xiao to Fang Da. At the same time, he told Fang Da how he was captured and forced by a devilish woman to serve Ye Xiao.
Fang Da was angered immediately when he come to know this, but he could not do anything. Because of the restriction, if he killed Ye Xiao, Phantom will die as well.
At last, Fang Da agreed to lend the Flying Ship but put forth a condition that he will go with Ye Xiao and Phantom as well.
Ye Xiao had no problem, and so, very soon, a flying ship flew into the air and shot toward in a certain direction.
.....
The Flying Ship flew slowly. In the Flying Ship, Ye Xiao looked at the land outside and realized that the surrounding seemed to be the same, deserted.
"Fang Da, how big is the Land of Morning Stars?" Ye Xiao thought of something and asked.
Fang Da shook his head and said, "I'm not from the Land of Morning Stars, so I have no idea how big it is. I came to this land a few years ago with my grandfather, but he suddenly disappeared somewhere. I was on my own from then."
"Then how big is Chaos?" Ye Xiao changed his question.
"Chaos is too huge. Even though I've roamed the Chaos for many years with my Grandfather, I've not even covered 1% of Chaos."
"Then... Do you know about the situation in the Chaos? For example, what factions are there?"
"The situation?"
Fang Da was slightly embarrassed and shook his head, saying, "Actually, I don't know much about Chaos. But I know a piece of hidden news that very few people know."
"A hidden news?"
"Yes, a piece of hidden news. Other than Lands and Forbidden Lands, there are seven Holy Lands in the Chaos. It's rumored that these seven Holy Lands are distributed throughout the Chaos."
"Seven Holy Lands?" Ye Xiao was hearing about Holy Lands for the first time. He has never heard of them before. He asked, "Where are these seven Holy Lands?"
"Uh… well, I've only heard from my Grandpa that there are seven Holy Lands in the Chaos. As for where they are, I don't know either. I and my grandpa were looking for seven Holy Lands for many years. In fact, my Grandpa has been looking for Seven Holy Lands for countless years, from even before my birth. But there was no result."
Ye Xiao got nothing in return for his question, and a trace of disappointment appeared on his face.
The Flying Ship flew in the sky for seven days continuously, but it did not even encounter any Chaos Beast, let alone other warriors.
It was a deserted land everywhere, simply boundless.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a violent explosion came from afar. The Chaotic aura was also constantly churning, as if people were fighting violently.
"Someone is fighting?"
Ye Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He had finally encountered someone after seven days.
"Let's go and take a closer look." Ye Xiao said.
Fang Da immediately made his move and caused the Flying Ship to fly toward the source of the battle fluctuations.
.....
Far away, two men in black were besieging a burly man.
Both parties used all kinds of methods. Either a violent blade light would slice through the chaotic aura, emitting a chaotic wave that blotted out everything, or a punch would form a terrifying vortex.
Compared to Fang Da and Phantom, these people were countless times stronger.
"Ren Sheng, hand it over, and maybe we will spare your life. In any case, our goal is the Qi family. You're just a servant of the Qi family. Why do you need to sacrifice your life for the Qi family? Let me tell you, the Qi family's days are numbered. You're at least a dignified Chaos Dust Realm warrior. Why should you die with the Qi family?"
Seeing that they could not take down Ren Sheng anytime soon, the two men in black tried to persuade him.
"Heh, you two are from the Lin family, right? Don't think I don't know just because you've concealed your aura. The blade technique you used has long betrayed you. Back then, Lady Qi saved me. Since I promised to protect Lady Qi for a thousand years, I won't go back on my word. Lady Qi personally gave me this treasure. If you want it, you'll have to take it over my dead body!"
The two men in black frowned. This Qin Sheng was really difficult to deal with. The Qi family was really lucky to actually be able to recruit such a powerful servant in their decline.
If not for Ren Sheng, the Qi family would probably have been destroyed long ago.
However, no matter how difficult Ren Sheng was to deal with, he was only one man!
"Hmph, Ren Sheng, we can't do anything to you, but we can hold you off. If this drags on, the Qi family will long be destroyed, and your Lady Qi will long be dead. Hmph, let's see how you can keep your promise then."
Ren Sheng's heart clenched. Indeed, he was alone. He was surrounded by two men in black and could not leave at all. The Qi family was in danger, and there was nothing he could do.
