Transcending the Nine Heavens

CHAPTER 385: Mysterious Ice Jade Balm, Ninefold Pill Formation!

When Chu Yang finally lay in the grass, he felt as if his whole body was falling apart. However, the smoothness of the journey brought him great comfort.

This was the closest place. By dawn, at Jing Menghun's command, they would undoubtedly continue their search, and Chu Yang had to rise at the very moment they began their search and set foot on the path to the main peak.

This was the only opportunity!

Perhaps the road to the main peak would be even more difficult, but if Chu Yang wanted to escape alive, he had to go there to replenish his medicinal energy!

Almost as soon as he found a hiding place, the sky began to brighten.

Jing Menghun's voice rang out, “Have you found anything?” Due to the scattered positions of the Golden Horse Knights Hall members, Jing Menghun's voice was loud, echoing across the area!

“No.”

“I haven't found anything here either.”

“No discovery.”

Jing Menghun’s expression turned grim as he released an invisible falcon. After a while, the flapping wings sounded again, and the invisible falcon flew back. Jing Menghun looked at the message it brought, a look of relief appearing on his face as he said, “There’s no discovery at that entrance either; Chu King of Hell is still in this mountain. Continue the search!”

“Yes!”

“If we still can’t find him today…” Jing Menghun’s expression shifted, gritting his teeth and looking up at the wind, he finally spat out, “We’ll have to set the mountain on fire.”

Set the mountain on fire!

The crowd exchanged glances, some hesitating. This was a great taboo in the Nine Heavens Continent. Setting the mountain on fire could easily destroy the living environment of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people, and would be condemned as an unforgivable crime.

Could Jing King really dare to do such a thing?

“This is Iron Cloud; the people here are our enemies!” Jing Menghun said heavily. “Moreover, we are trying to capture the King of Hell! And if we take a step back… perhaps we could capture him today, and we wouldn’t need to burn anything.”

Everyone was speechless.

“Let’s begin! Move quickly! If anything abnormal is detected, call out immediately!” Jing Menghun waved his hand and took the lead in departing.

Everyone followed suit, flying off in all directions.

At that moment, Chu Yang took off, blending in with the dispersing crowd while heading towards his own search direction...

Some noticed him, but his timing was impeccable, acting boldly as if he were one of their own. They only caught a glimpse of a blurred figure and paid no mind. At such a moment, almost no one doubted and went about their own business...

This allowed the real Chu King of Hell, the primary target of this operation, to slip away right under their noses...

“Oh my God! Truly, heaven is watching over me.” Chu Yang let out a deep breath, galloping upwards: “Really, you’ve been so good to me. I feel extremely guilty and remorseful for going against you in this life.”

Lost in thought, he turned and had already covered several zhang. With another leap, he darted along the ground for several more zhang, turning a corner and moving far beyond the reach of their sight, before finally slowing his pace.

He couldn't afford to slow down: the wound on his thigh from that slash was still deep enough to see the bone. Every movement sent a searing pain through him, with fresh blood starting to seep out again...

“I’m really miserable.” Chu Yang touched his thigh, his pace steady despite the pain, as he cautiously made his way up to the main peak. He didn’t take the main road but opted for a rarely traveled path, dense with grass and trees, a route that most people wouldn’t even know existed...

Only someone like Chu Yang, an ‘indigenous person’, would be so familiar with it.

In just a short while, Chu Yang had skillfully entered the main peak, approaching the location of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
