But now was not the time to dwell on such matters. Chen Xingyun followed Ning Beichen into the sky, though he had no idea what the brat was up to.
However, Ning Beichen had been raised by him since childhood, so he knew him well enough to understand he wasn't someone unreliable.
Chen Xingyun was just curious as to what method Ning Beichen had to break through the confinement of the Yun Tian Palace formation.
In truth, he was unaware that Ning Beichen had secretly cracked the Yun Tian Palace formation days ago, leaving himself a passage out. Thus, his departure was effortless.
Yu Huaxue watched them escape, a cold smirk playing on his lips. The Yun Tian Palace formation had never been breached before, and he had no worries about them escaping.
However, in the next second, Ning Beichen proved him wrong. Ning Beichen and Chen Xingyun effortlessly soared above Yun Tian Palace, and the formation showed no reaction, as if they didn't exist.
Not only Yu Huaxue, but even Chen Xingyun was astonished. He knew very well how powerful the Yun Tian Palace formation was, something even formation masters and grandmasters couldn't break.
This was why Yun Tian Palace had stood for so many years, its formation playing a crucial role.
After all, even the most powerful sects had their rise and fall, and without strong defenses, they could easily perish midway.
Seeing Ning Beichen and Chen Xingyun escape ignited a fiery rage within Yu Huaxue. As soon as his body recovered, he immediately gave chase. No matter what, Chen Xingyun could not escape today.
Earlier, Chen Xingyun had almost killed him with the branch of the Yu sword. If Chen Xingyun could use it a third time, he would surely die, and next time he might not be so lucky.
And that brat, leaving a lingering threat would only lead to future trouble.
"Master, here."
Ning Beichen shouted to Chen Xingyun, seeing him fly into a black hole.
Although Chen Xingyun hesitated, he trusted his disciple and followed without a second thought.
This black hole was, in fact, the entrance to the aircraft.
Upon returning to the aircraft, Ning Beichen immediately ordered Ning Xiaoling to depart at the fastest speed.
Ning Xiaoling, prioritizing Ning Beichen's command, instantly created a sonic boom above Yun Tian Palace, causing a massive vortex to appear in the sky.
Those unaware might have thought an anomaly had occurred above Yun Tian Palace, perhaps even suspecting a treasure had appeared.
However, this was Yun Tian Palace, and people dared not be reckless. Elsewhere, crowds would have rushed in to contend for the "treasure."
But even with the aircraft, Yu Huaxue still pursued them.
Especially upon seeing the stone coffin, he recalled the legends of the Luoxinghai stone coffin, and his eyes gleamed. As he aimed at the aircraft, Ning Beichen's craft crashed into something resembling a spiderweb.
"What… what is this thing?"
Ning Beichen was horrified. He tried to control the aircraft to leave, but it was stuck fast to the sticky substance.
"Not good! This is Yu Huaxue's Sky Net. Only extreme yang fire can burn it!"
Chen Xingyun said urgently.
"Master, do you have extreme yang fire?"
Ning Beichen asked.
Chen Xingyun immediately rolled his eyes at him. If he had extreme yang fire, would he be fleeing in such a sorry state? He would have long since returned to burn that bastard Yu Huaxue to death.
"Then what do we do?"
Ning Beichen was also anxious. Who knew this Yu Huaxue, besides his unpleasant demeanor, possessed such an unreasonable treasure? It was as if he wanted them dead.
"At this point, we can only fight him. Beichen, let me out. I'll hold him off. While Yu Huaxue is a Heavenly Venerate, it won't be easy for him to kill me."
Chen Xingyun said to Ning Beichen.
He was willing to stay behind to resist Yu Huaxue to let Ning Beichen escape, demonstrating his profound care for his disciple.
However, just as Chen Xingyun understood Ning Beichen, Ning Beichen understood him just as well. How could he possibly abandon his master and run away alone?
When he was young, his master had protected and raised him. Now, it was his turn to protect his master.
"Ning Xiaoling, quickly think of a way to break free. You and the aircraft come from a higher dimensional world. Don't tell me you have no solutions."
Ning Beichen was communicating with Ning Xiaoling mentally.
"Master, please wait. I am analyzing the substance of these materials. Alright, Master, the analysis is complete. Although the aircraft cannot destroy these substances, it can use their properties to avoid and escape the predicament."
In less than a minute, Ning Xiaoling's voice appeared in Ning Beichen's mind.
"Excellent, then hurry up and do it."
Ning Beichen said happily.
"Master, please authorize."
Ning Xiaoling said to Ning Beichen.
"Authorized."
Ning Beichen replied immediately.
As Ning Beichen's voice fell, Ning Xiaoling took control of the aircraft.
The aircraft then released tiny substances resembling spores. These substances landed on the spiderweb, and the web seemed to have met its nemesis. A hole quickly appeared, and the aircraft flew out through it.
"Well done, Ning Xiaoling. Once we escape, I'll give you extra chicken legs."
Ning Beichen praised her profusely.
"Master, I am virtual and cannot eat."
Ning Xiaoling said shyly, her simulated expression identical to a real person.
"Oh, I forgot about that. But even if you can't eat it, you can still see it. This is my reward for you."
Ning Beichen said.
"You're celebrating too early. Although we've escaped, that guy is still chasing us."
At this moment, Chen Xingyun rudely interrupted the conversation between his disciple and the virtual Ning Xiaoling.
As soon as Chen Xingyun finished speaking, the aircraft jolted, causing those inside to sway.
A giant sword was seen fiercely attacking the aircraft from behind.
"It's that mad dog Yu Huaxue!"
Ning Beichen gritted his teeth.
Even though the aircraft was traveling at high speed, a Heavenly Venerate was still a Heavenly Venerate. Within the rules of this world, a Heavenly Venerate was an invincible existence.
"Ning Beichen, let me go and resist him. Otherwise, none of us will be able to escape his grasp."
Chen Xingyun said again.
"No, Master. Don't even think about it. You don't know how hard I searched for you. No matter what, I won't let you leave."
Ning Beichen said resolutely.
"You're not a child anymore. You have your life, and I have my matters. We've met, and that's enough. Why cling to this?"
Chen Xingyun sighed and said to him.
