Chapter Fifty-Nine: Accompanying Mei in Secret

  Hurriedly advancing a hundred steps, Ji Changkong leaped onto the horse's back with a loud whoosh, landing steadily and firmly. He stretched out his hand to press on Bai Qingya's shoulder, seeing that she didn't resist strongly, Ji Changkong continued to whip the horse forward with great force.

  Blah blah blah! Blah blah blah!

  A strange and mournful laugh echoed through the night sky, a tall figure flew like a large bird in the darkness, gradually closing the distance with Ji Changkong.

  Her complexion changed, Ji Changkong knew that the person behind her was definitely one of the Western Regions' bloodthirsty devils.

  At the time in Qingyan Mountain, Ji Changkong had seen Bai Canghai and Shikumara's battle, he knew that Shikumara's realm should be equivalent to Bai Canghai, probably also a Seven Star Heaven cultivation.

  The demon with him should also be a high-ranking expert of the same level. No matter who is chasing behind, it's not something he can handle.

  Clap! Clap! Clap!

  One whip followed another on the horse's body, and the fine horse, under the merciless whipping of Ji Chang, galloped at a breakneck pace.

  However, the Celestial Master of the Seven Star Heaven Realm could already fly through the air, and his speed was far beyond that of a galloping horse. No matter how hard Ji Changkong tried, he couldn't shake off the person behind him.

  The distance between them is getting closer and closer.

  "Hmm...hmm..."

  Just then, Bai Qingya murmured softly, and under the intense shaking, she seemed to be waking up.

  Afraid that she would use force to throw herself off the horse again, Ji Changkong dared not think more and suddenly wrapped his arms around Bai Qingya from behind.

  She gave him a big hug, and Bai Qingya suddenly reacted, struggling violently on the horse. Her back was facing Jie Changkong's eyes, which were also gradually clearing up.

  "Scoundrel! Let me go!" Bai Qingya shouted angrily.

  "Don't move! You're too strong, if you keep going like this, we'll both be done for!"

  "Hey, calm down! I was told by your father to send you to Tianshui City. We have demons chasing us from behind and the horse can't outrun them. If you keep acting out, it's not a big deal for me, but you'll definitely fall into the demon's hands! Demon! Just hearing the name tells you what kind of person he is. You don't want that to happen, do you?"

  Bai Qingya's body trembled slightly, and then suddenly calmed down.

  She moved her slender white neck, first glancing back at the demon who was grinning strangely, before looking at Ji Changkong with a pair of fine and bright eyes filled with suspicion. Her dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she asked, "Who are you? Why would my father hand me over to you?"

  "Months ago, many villains gathered at Qingyan Mountain to rob the treasures carried by Tian Shi of Nanyi. I was on Qingyan Mountain and someone wanted to kill me. Your father happened to be fighting against the Bloodthirsty Devil at the mountain peak and he saved my life. Previously, your father took you fleeing for your life and coincidentally bumped into me, so he handed you over to me to take you to Tian Shui City, while he stayed behind to block the Bloodthirsty Devil..."

  Time was pressing, so Ji Changkong recounted the events at the fastest speed possible.

  Bai Qingya stared straight into Ji Changkong's eyes, as if to confirm whether he was telling the truth. After he finished speaking, Bai Qingya still looked half-believing and half-doubtful, but her attitude had clearly softened a bit. She said, "Since the demon has come after us, one killer demon alone can't hurt my father! The demon came after me to capture me and force my father to surrender! Can this horse go any faster?" Towards the end, Bai Qingya's tone became increasingly urgent.

  As the two spoke, a dark figure emerged clearly, his tall shadow gliding through the night sky with an eerie laugh that sent shivers down one's spine.

  With a bitter smile, Ji Changkong said: "Horses can only run, but he can fly! Moreover, his speed is really too fast, and we will be caught up sooner or later! I also want the horse to go faster, but unfortunately, the horse has already foamed at the mouth!"

  Her pale and elegant face, like a crystal jade, was filled with worry, she kept turning her head to look at the rapidly approaching demon, thinking hard about how to deal with it, her delicate features becoming increasingly flustered.

  "You little girl, you can't escape! Hehe! In a moment I'll capture you and play with you in front of your father. Your father will surely be very excited! Hehe!" The demoniac voice laughed wildly, his old face full of lust and excitement.

  He said that, the originally panicked Bai Qingya's face suddenly turned pale as paper, and she shrieked: "Villain! Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!"

  "You can't help it!"

  The demon's eerie laughter echoed, and suddenly a hand stretched out in mid-air. In the nine heavens above, the Tianxu and Tianyuan stars of the Big Dipper seemed to have suddenly brightened up.

  The next moment, two beams of starlight flew out from Mo's left hand index finger and middle finger, drawing two bright arcs in the night sky, shooting rapidly towards Changkong and Bai Qingya.

  "Not good!"

  Bai Qingya let out a cry of surprise and struggled free from Ji Changkong's embrace, ready to fight back without fear for her life.

  However, it was unclear whether it was due to her previous injuries or because she was too frightened, Bai Qingya forced herself to make a move, but her body suddenly shook violently. Not only did she fail to exert her strength, but she also spat out another mouthful of blood. Her delicate body went limp and she collapsed directly onto Ji Changkong's body.

  It's done!

  Ji Changlong sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that he had just left the Ji family and hadn't even seen the wonders of the outside world yet, but was already going to die prematurely.

  Right at this moment!

  A surging wave of yuan force fluctuation suddenly emanated from his chest, and in an instant, the beautiful jade light that Taohua Lie had sent out earlier reappeared, forming a thin, delicate light shield that enveloped both him and Bai Qingya.

  Already desperate Bai Qingya, due to being tightly close to Ji Changkong, clearly felt the terrifying yuan force fluctuations contained in the beautiful jade on his chest. Her eyes were full of surprise, and she turned her head to look at Ji Changkong, calling out: "What is this?"

  Boom!

  Before he could even respond, two beams of starlight shot out from Mo and exploded against the light shield surrounding his body.

  Hehehe!

  The horse under him couldn't withstand the impact, all four legs burst, and it suddenly collapsed to the ground, with fresh blood gushing out of its body like water droplets. It died on the spot.

  Hoo-hoo!

  A terrifying force exploded on the light shield, and Ji Changkong felt as if his back had been hit by a heavy hammer of ten thousand catties. Holding Bai Qingya, he was propelled forward with her in this burst of great power, shooting out like lightning. The fierce wind howled in his ears, but his entire body stung with pain!

  Plop!

  He and Bai Qingya fell into the water together, the turbulent current rushing rapidly, carrying the two of them downstream, in the murky water, Ji Changkong couldn't see anything, but suddenly found himself airborne, then heavily thrown down, and then swept away by the torrent.

  The water was fierce and seemed to have gone through several waterfalls, rushing forward crazily. Ji Changkong tightly hugged Bai Qingya, and after such a toss, he felt dizzy and had no idea if the demon was still chasing behind them.

  Boom!

  His back slammed heavily onto a huge rock, the piercing pain instantly spreading throughout his body. Ji Changkong's head throbbed with pain as he immediately fainted.

  ……

  "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"

  A faint cry echoed in her ears, and Ji Chang woke up from her daze, only to feel an unbearable soreness all over her body, unsure how many times she had collided with the rocks along the way.

  In front of him, Bai Qingya's hair was scattered on her shoulders, wet and dripping. Her clothes were soaked through and tightly clung to her slender waist and delicate curves. Especially the twin peaks on her chest, under the wrapping of the wet clothes, appeared exceptionally full and plump. At this moment, she stood on a protruding boulder, her face pale as she patted his chest.

  Pfft!

  A mouthful of turbid river water spat out, and Ji Changkong slowly sat up, vigilantly looking around, saying: "Where is this? Has the demon caught up?"

  In front of him was a waterfall cascading down, beside him were rocks of varying sizes, and behind him was a cave that could only hold three or four people. At this moment, he was standing on the largest rock in front of the cave with Bai Qingya.

  "This is a natural stone cave behind the waterfall. I don't know if those demons have caught up with us, but when I woke up, we were in front of the waterfall. After I dragged you here and woke you up." Bai Qingya's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and she let out a melancholy sigh: "I also don't know whether my father has escaped from the clutches of those two demons."

  "Since the demon is after us, your father must be fine. What you said, a bloodthirsty demon, isn't even a match for your father." Ji Changkong comforted Bai Qingya with one sentence, then suddenly remembered something and took out the beautiful jade that Tuoba Lie had given him from his collar.

  Originally a pure and flawless piece of jade, there is still an unusual power flowing within it, unfortunately, with several cracks added.

  ……
