Wu Yu had not spoken until now. When he suddenly spoke, all of them suddenly realized that he was there.
"What reliability do you even have? Do you know how formidable an immortal king is?" Yun Mo sneered.
Wu Yu ignored him. "I have a way to get everyone out of the Ancient Ink Residence, without even alerting the immortal lords outside. But after we leave the Ancient Ink Residence, we will still be within Benevolent Immortal City. I think they can still find us. So I think we will have to risk it to escape outside the city, or even to other immortal cities. After all, that Green Lotus Immortal King cannot possibly use the Omniscient Eye of Heaven again, can he?"
They were all taken aback.
Xu Zidong said, "As for hiding after we escape, we will take special care. Even the Omniscient Eye of Heaven might not be able to find us so easily. More importantly, can you take us out without making the slightest sign?"
Ye Yi said, "You should know that the Qing'E Immortal Lord outside is an 8-realm immortal lord. He is more powerful even than Xu Zidong. They have this place closely watched."
Wu Yu smiled and nodded. "As long as you trust me, this is very easy for me."
"I don't believe you. If you have that ability, why would you need to look to us for protection? Who knows, you might be one of them." Yun Mo again sneered.
"Yun Mo, shut up." Qin Chuan was tired of his insinuations. They all quite liked Wu Yu, but Yun Mo tried to pick a fight with him at every turn.
However, Wu Yu ignored him.
He could now completely control the Floating Dreams Pagoda, and could open a separate space within it. Firstly, he separated the Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi into the 100-times time stream, then he created a space with a normal time stream, separating the two. This would hide the Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi from them, which would save him lot of explaining.
"If you can trust me, enter my immortal treasure. In less than 10 breaths of time, I will have everyone free of this place," Wu Yu said.
"Alright. We will trust you this once. If we can escape, Wu Yu, you will officially be our brother!" Xu Zidong said.
After he declared this, basically everyone else agreed. With this, Yun Mo could not help but agree. However, his expression showed his sheer incredulity that Wu Yu would have such a power.
"Let's go in."
Xu Zidong packed some things and then led the group into the Floating Dreams Pagoda.
"To think that a Nine Xuan Dao Realm kid like you even has a destinable immortal treasure! You're something special!" Xu Zidong chuckled.
"Little Brother, we're counting on you." Yang Wenlan smiled.
Yun Mo was the last to enter. He glared at Wu Yu. "Don't let me find out that you have any ill intentions towards us. Otherwise, I'll hunt you down!"
Wu Yu could not be bothered to reply. He was already used to this guy's sniping. Once they were all in the Floating Dreams Pagoda, he immediately made a huge somersault, and the Somersault Cloud left the Ancient Ink Residence far behind.
This time, he leaped as far as he could. When he appeared again, he was on top of some building. He hurriedly leaped a few more times, and was already worlds away from the Ancient Ink Residence 10 breaths of time later.
He found a deserted corner and then let them out.
"Where is this?"
Xu Zidong and his group appeared and immediately surveyed their surroundings. It was unfamiliar to them, and they sent someone out to ask. They learned that this was still within Benevolent Immortal City, but the Ancient Ink Residence was in the east, while they were in the west. It was incredibly far!
They were safe for now!
All of them stared at Wu Yu in wonder. They were shocked dumb.
"What skill is this, that allows you to move with such speed?" Yun Mo asked.
Wu Yu smiled. "Don't ask. It's my secret. But I cannot use this too many times. Once was enough for me. As for how we hide, that will depend on you all."
Xu Zidong clapped Wu Yu on the shoulder. "I was right about you. You saved us all this time. At least you've saved us three Immortal King Tokens. Was it obvious when you left? Do they know we left?"
Wu Yu said, "Not at all. If they don't go in, they won't know a thing."
Qin Chuan said, “Very good. Then we have three days. The Green Lotus Immortal King must be in Benevolent Immortal City, nearby, or heading here.”
Xu Zidong briefed them, "Therefore, we cannot stay in Benevolent Immortal City. We should leave this place. There are two cities nearby. We'll choose the slightly further Mystical Resonance Immortal City. Let's head there at full speed now so we’ll have a chance to avoid them. Take extra care, everyone."
Actually, Wu Yu could have brought them directly to Mystical Resonance Immortal City, but he could not show them too much of his power. After all, Yun Mo still had a grudge against him. If he snitched on Wu Yu, nothing good would come of it.
They ran like the wind, stealthily leaving the city. Wu Yu again reached the grounds outside the castle. It was a battlefield, and the stench of blood was everywhere.
Actually, Wu Yu had a bit of his own agenda mixed into the choice of location. He wanted to lag a little behind them. If he could devour an immortal lord corpse, it would be of great help to him. He needed to increase his strength.
"If we meet a danger beyond our means, please gather on me. I can escape once or twice more," Wu Yu said.
Obviously, they thought that what he had just used was an escape technique.
"Alright, much obliged." Xu Zidong nodded.
He had great faith in the technique Wu Yu had just used. Therefore, he also started to value Wu Yu more.
"Little Sister, Wu Yu is under your care," Xu Zidong said.
"Sure." Yang Wenlan lifted Wu Yu up from behind. "Prepare yourself, I move very quickly." She was just about to carry him along.
Wu Yu said, "Big sister Yang, please put me down. I might be able to keep up with you all."
"Quit exaggerating." Yang Wenlan did not believe him.
None of them believed him.
Wu Yu made an "after you" gesture, indicating they should go ahead. They each rushed past, and Wu Yu followed them on the Somersault Cloud. He was not far behind.
There were people both entering and exiting the city, but there were fewer exiting.
It was obvious that those leaving did not have Immortal King Tokens, and those who wished to try their luck often ignored these people.
"You're that fast?" They all looked at Wu Yu with surprise.
Wu Yu smiled mysteriously.
"Seems like our little brother is really something special." Qing Yuli laughed heartily.
They proceeded at a ferocious pace. They blended in with their environment and advanced quickly.
They were not very close to Mystical Resonance Immortal City, so it would take some time to get there.
Wu Yu recalled that when he was coming to Benevolent Immortal City, he had been ambushed and had escaped with the Somersault Cloud.
The Sublime Gracious Sky was a harsh land.
The entire world looked rather barren.
There was much harsh killing energy in this world.
The immortal lords had laid ambushes here!
Vague sounds of fighting reached them.
The fighting was likely rather far - any nearer and the ground would shake.
At first they proceeded smoothly.
Three days later, a group of people barred their way. Without a word, they immediately attacked the Ancient Ink Camp.
"Kill them."
The group's intentions were fairly obvious.
"Be careful!"
The numbers were more or less evenly matched, and they descended into a rough fight.
Immortal lords fought completely with the power of their realms. It was all very confusing for Wu Yu. He was instantly piled up on by numerous worlds, and it was an uncomfortable experience. The entire scene was chaos, and he could only use Fulgurating Shadows to escape the battlefield.
Looking forward, he saw that the ground and mountains were shaking. The Ancient Ink Camp people were engaged in a heated battle, and it was hard to even make out who was friend and foe. All around, the power of realms was exploding. No wonder the Sublime Gracious Sky looked like a wreck. Even if there were plants, the Great Void Immortal Path every 5,000 years would end them all.
Wu Yu could be of no help, and he could only hope that the Ancient Ink Camp would emerge victorious.
From the looks of it, it seemed like a few of them were just starting to get serious. Wu Yu reckoned that the Ancient Ink Camp would win without too many problems, but some of them might be snarled up and die in the fight.
It seemed like their adversaries were at the fourth tier of the Immortal Lord Realm and above.
"A straggler?" Suddenly, a mean voice came from behind him. Wu Yu turned to see a red-haired youth staring at him with dead eyes. His entire body burned with ruby flames, and his killing intent was dense.
He was with the group fighting the Ancient Ink Camp, but he was not participating because he lacked the strength. He was about a second tier Immortal Lord Realm cultivator!
"Even a Xuan immortal dares to come here?" He laughed condescendingly.
"I don't have an Immortal King Token. No point in gunning for me." Wu Yu waved his hands.
The guy said, "I know you don't. But you're related to them. I'm going to kidnap you! My father and the rest can use you as a hostage!"
Wu Yu laughed. "I'm just a useless little disciple. What can you threaten them with?"
"Then I'll kill you!"
He did not let up, but came attacking.
Wu Yu had no choice, but he was not afraid of battle. For the sake of the Great Void Immortal Path, he had become much stronger. He had not even tested out his two greatest weapons yet, the Floating Dreams Pagoda and the Floating Dreams Sword.
This sneaky opponent was the perfect trial.
A 2-realm immortal lord.
Stronger even than the Tian Ming Dragon Lord.
But Wu Yu was not who he was back then.
Right now, he did not even use the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, or the Immortal Ape Transformation. He was just in the guise of an ordinary immortal. And then, in his hands, the Floating Dreams Pagoda and the Floating Dreams Sword appeared!
