The attack of the black light was out of everyone's expectations. Feeling the shocking aura, Long Chen held Lingxi's slender waist with one hand and stood up, firmly fixing his legs on the back of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon.
At this moment, the black light had already stopped in front of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon. It was a small but extremely ferocious black eagle. This black eagle was not as big as the Wind Splitting Divine Roc, and it could only carry one person. However, Long Chen was sure that this black eagle was definitely an Earth Rank demonic beast, and it was even stronger than the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf.
"Ninth Prince, I didn't expect to meet you here. I've worn out iron shoes in fruitless searching, only to find you by chance."
On the black eagle stood a man in black tight-fitting clothes. He stared at Lin Cangtian with his vulture-like eyes, and as soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch at the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon.
"It's the people from the Heavenly Devil Palace. Old Yan, protect them."
The Ninth Prince's face darkened, and without saying a word, he started fighting with the other party. The people from the Heavenly Devil Palace were unexpectedly strong. Before Long Chen could see their moves clearly, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook. The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon flying in the sky had its internal organs shattered by a punch from the people from the Heavenly Devil Palace, and it was already dead. Meanwhile, Long Chen and the others fell from the sky.
Old Yan saw that it was too late to rescue them, so he was concerned about the safety of the Ninth Prince, so he ignored Long Chen and the others who were falling from the sky and rushed towards the Ninth Prince.
Long Chen didn't know how the Ninth Prince and Old Yan managed to escape from the sky. When the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon died, he held Lingxi in his arms and fell from the sky. The surrounding was filled with the sound of the wind, and the falling speed was getting faster and faster. Long Chen felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.
If he was already in such a state, then as a mortal, Lingxi must be in even more pain. In a moment of desperation, he hugged Lingxi tightly in his arms.
The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon's corpse fell together with Long Chen, but because of the different forces, they fell in different directions.
Fortunately, the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon's flying altitude and speed had decreased because they were close to Bi Yang Imperial City. After rapidly descending for a while, Long Chen was able to see the ground. His and Lingxi's bodies carried a huge impact force. If Long Chen fell by himself, he was confident that he could absorb the impact force. However, he was carrying Lingxi, who was incomparably fragile. It was very likely that an extremely low impact force would cause Lingxi's entire body to fall apart.
"What should we do?"
Long Chen was a little flustered. He had just given Lingxi the feeling of having a body. Was it going to be gone just like that?
At this moment, Xiao Lang's body suddenly enlarged, and his landing speed increased. Before Long Chen landed, the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf's huge body had already smashed into the ground.
The Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf's body was much stronger than Long Chen's. After Xiao Lang fell from the sky, he was actually unharmed. Without a word, he leapt towards Long Chen.
Long Chen let out a sigh of relief. He used his true energy to firmly place Lingxi on Xiao Lang's body. The impact force from Lingxi's body had gradually dissipated as Xiao Lang fell. Long Chen himself took out the Blue Dragon Halberd. When he landed, he suddenly slammed the Blue Dragon Halberd into the ground. Immediately, a rebounding force sent him flying into the sky before he landed steadily on the ground.
Not far away, the corpse of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon crashed into the ground, causing dust to fill the air.
After Long Chen landed, Xiao Lang carried Lingxi and landed on the ground. Long Chen hurriedly rushed over. When he discovered that Lingxi had successfully escaped the disaster and was only frightened, her face pale, Long Chen let out a sigh of relief and hugged Lingxi tightly.
She had just obtained a body, and before she even reached Bi Yang Imperial City, she had already suffered such a disaster. Lingxi was really unlucky, but fortunately, she was fine in the end.
"The people of Sky Demon Palace are obviously chasing after the Ninth Prince. We are now on the Ninth Prince's side. If we land on the ground, they will definitely see us, so we should leave this place quickly."
Long Chen looked at the sky and discovered that the Ninth Prince and the people of Sky Demon Palace were fighting somewhere. He made a prompt decision and left with Lingxi and Xiao Lang.
Long Chen hugged Lingxi and used the Blue Dragon Halberd to open a path. In order to avoid attention, Xiao Lang shrunk his body again and quickly followed behind Long Chen.
"The direction of Bi Yang Imperial City is over there. The Ninth Prince has been attacked and can't take care of us. It should be impossible for him to go back to find us. We can go to Bi Yang Imperial City by ourselves."
Thinking of this, Long Chen no longer hesitated. In this lush and fresh forest, he rushed in the direction of Bi Yang Imperial City.
This forest was very beautiful. There were crisscrossing rivers everywhere, and there were also large and small lakes. On the way, Long Chen stopped and hunted a few wild rabbits. He made a fire and roasted them into a delicacy. Lingxi had been eating dry rations these days and was already hungry. Seeing the golden and oily delicacies, she was already drooling.
After feeding the little girl, two people and one wolf continued on their way. Of course, Lingxi couldn't keep up with Long Chen's speed, so along the way, Long Chen carried her on his back.
Feeling the warmth from her soft body, as well as the slippery feeling on his back, Long Chen felt a little restless. Ling Xi also blushed a little when she smelled his scent. The little wolf bitterly followed behind, pretending that it didn't see anything.
Even though he'd saved Lingxi earlier, he was still like a superfluous existence between them …
A vast lake appeared ahead. The water was calm, and they were faintly able to see a small island on the opposite side. The island was suffused with smoke, and there ought to be a family there.
"It's getting late. We'll rest on this island for a night and continue on our journey tomorrow. I believe it won't be long before we'll be able to arrive at Bi Yang Imperial City," instructed Long Chen.
"Chen, Xiao Lang said he knows this island. He came here when he was young, and it's called Goldfish Island." Seeing Xiao Lang stare at each other for a long time, Lingxi finally understood what Xiao Lang wanted to say.
"Goldfish Island. Since you're familiar with it, Xiao Lang, then it couldn't be any better."
Mo Xiaolang spent his childhood in Bi Yang Imperial City.
Long Chen carried Lingxi on his back as he walked on the surface of the lake. At the same time, he was also conversing with Xiao Lang through Lingxi's translation.
"You're saying that the few areas outside of Bi Yang Imperial City were originally managed by the four great clans of the imperial city. This Goldfish Island and the vast land around it originally belonged to the Mo Clan, but because the Mo Clan was exterminated, you don't know the current situation on this island."
Xiao Lang nodded. As he looked at the island that was getting closer and closer, his eyes revealed a nostalgic look.
When he was six years old, his entire clan was exterminated, and he had to escape alone while carrying a blood feud. The tragedy that Xiao Lang had encountered was hard for Long Chen to imagine. Just as he was about to comfort his brother, he and Xiao Lang faintly heard an urgent cry for help.
"Save me! You Wokou people, go to hell!"
Amidst the cries for help, the man's laughter could be heard.
"Let's go and have a look." Naturally, Long Chen couldn't just watch them die.
Following the direction of the sound, the two quickly arrived at their destination. In front of them was a small boat that was floating on the lake. Right now, there were two people arguing on the boat. It was a man and a woman. The man was roaring like a wild beast, pressing the woman down on his body and tearing her clothes in a frenzy.
Without saying a word, Long Chen rushed over and kicked the man away, causing him to fall into the water. He didn't completely understand what was happening, so he didn't kick the man to death. This man was also an Earth Core warrior, so he wouldn't drown in the water.
After that, Long Chen looked at the woman on the boat. When he saw her clearly, his heart surged with anger. The girl in front of him was thin and weak, and her face was young and tender. Her body had just started to develop, and she was only twelve or thirteen years old. But just now, that big and burly man was obviously going to rape her.
"Bastard!" When Lingxi saw this, she gritted her teeth and cursed.
At this moment, the man who was kicked away had already floated up to the surface of the water. He was cursing in a language that Long Chen couldn't understand. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Long Chen fiercely. Soon, he jumped out of the water and unleashed the strength of an Earth Core warrior as he charged towards Long Chen.
This man looked extremely ugly and wretched. He was short and stout, and his height didn't even reach Long Chen's chest. However, his eyes were filled with bloodlust and madness. With just one look, one could tell that he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
"Kid, how dare you touch our great Wokou people? You're courting death!"
At this moment, the guy finally spoke in a language that Long Chen could understand. However, his accent was very strange, and it took Long Chen a lot of effort to understand what he was saying.
"Wokou people? Who do you think you are?"
At this moment, how could Long Chen not understand that this guy was a beast? When he jumped out of the water and wanted to kill Long Chen, Long Chen immediately pierced his chest with his Devil Spirit Sword.
The short man's eyes were wide open as he fell into the water. He died with his eyes wide open. Blood crazily gushed out from his chest, and soon, the green lake water around him was dyed red.
The girl had clearly seen how Long Chen killed the Wokou people. At this moment, she stood up and tidied her clothes. Then, she politely said to Long Chen, "Little Yu, thank you big brother and big sister for saving me …"
This girl was very tough. Facing such a situation, she didn't even cry.
"Is your name Little Yu? What happened?" Long Chen realized that she was from the island, so he started chatting with her.
"That man just now was a Wokou people. I thought they wouldn't come today, so I came out to play. I didn't expect to meet him. If big brother didn't save me, I would have died." Little Yu's face was filled with fear when she said this.
"What's a Wokou people?" Long Chen asked as he pulled Lingxi to sit on the boat.
