Under the night sky, the blood chains continued to bind Shan Yao. Every time she struggled, the chains would shrink. Not far behind her, Zheng Wufang had transformed into blood qi and was following closely behind her. Shan Yao had already raised her speed to the limit, but she still couldn't shake him off.
"Big girl, you can't escape. You don't know any magical arts. The faster you run, the harder the chains will be, and the more you'll use up your strength. What will you do when you're out of energy?"
"Stop! Swear your loyalty and I'll spare your life!"
Zheng Wufang kept shouting from behind. He was also very angry. Shan Yao's speed wasn't slow, and the blood chains he had released were too long. This caused him to be unable to unleash his full power. This was the reason why he couldn't catch up to Shan Yao.
But how could Zheng Wufang give up so easily?
He'd been waiting for this chance for a long time. He asked for help from the Star race, sacrificing a thousand Star race arcane masters to predict Li Mo's disaster. If he missed this chance, would there ever be a second?
'No, I can't give up!'
Zheng Wufang burned his blood qi to chase Shan Yao.
Burning blood qi could double one's spiritual power, but at the cost of losing it forever. This was a forbidden art that was only used as a last resort.
And now Zheng Wufang was using it.
Shan Yao ran for her life, but her speed was getting slower and slower. The blood chains were getting tighter and tighter. They couldn't hurt her, but they were affecting her movements.
Zheng Wufang was getting closer and closer. Shan Yao was panicking and ran with all her might.
Shan Yao didn't know north from south, so she relied on her instincts to run. She ended up running towards Cangnan Mountain outside of Feifeng City.
Shan Yao was like a fish in water, jumping from mountain stream to forest. It didn't take long before the blood chains thinned.
Suddenly, a cliff appeared in front of her. Shan Yao didn't even think about it and jumped.
Bang!
The blood chains snapped.
Zheng Wufang roared in anger. He transformed into blood energy and chased down the cliff.
Thump!
Shan Yao's feet sank a meter into the ground. She struggled to get out, but Zheng Wufang caught up.
"Ha-ha-ha, big girl, you're quite strong. But it's no use. No one can escape from me."
Zheng Wufang spoke but his hands never stopped firing blood qi at Li Mo.
Shan Yao used her own body to block all of Zheng Wufang's attacks.
"You are really annoying. What's so good about him?
He's about to die, and you're still protecting him? "
"Don't you dare hurt him!"
"No one in this world can stop me from hurting whoever I want!"
Zheng Wufang coldly snorted. His body suddenly exploded, causing the ground to be covered in beads of blood.
The blood beads seemed to have a life of their own as they rushed at Li Mo.
Shan Yao was at a loss.
She could use her body to block the blood qi, but these blood beads were everywhere. She couldn't block them even if she wanted to.
She used all her strength and only managed to pull one leg out. Seeing the blood gushing in front of her, she threw Li Mo tens of meters away.
But this was only temporary. Blood Bead turned and chased after Li Mo.
"Ahhhhh — No!"
Shan Yao shouted anxiously. In a moment of desperation, she pulled her other leg out and threw herself at the blood beads.
Puff!
Each of those blood beads had Zheng Wufang's will, so Shan Yao couldn't catch them at all.
"No!"
Shan Yao screamed in despair as the blood beads were about to reach Li Mo.
"Li Mo, you're dead, ha-ha-ha!" Zheng Wufang cackled.
Hum ~
Just as Zheng Wufang's blood beads were about to reach Li Mo, Li Mo's head shone with a rainbow light. A slender hand reached out and the blood beads on the ground vanished in a single strike.
A white figure stood before Li Mo.
"Miss Yang!" Shan Yao cried in joy.
It was Yang Chan.
Disturbed by the two aliens, Yang Chan left her Astral State. With her cultivation, she knew Li Mo's location with just a glance.
All the blood beads retreated in fear, "Y-you can't be a true immortal. There is no such thing as a true immortal in this world. Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. It doesn't matter if there is a true immortal in this world."
Yang Chan's face froze, "Only one thing matters. You can't hurt him!"
"If you are an immortal, you should be in a desireless state. You should have no emotions. Li Mo is but a mere mortal. Why are you so protective of him?"
"No comment!"
Yang Chan raised her slender hand, and with a single palm strike, not a single drop of blood remained on the ground …
Shan Yao ran to Li Mo and hugged him, still shaken, "H-is he dead?"
Yang Chan shook her head, "No. He cultivated the Blood God Sutra. As long as he has a drop of blood, he will come back to life. The price is only a great loss of vitality. Someone like him couldn't have brought all his blood here. He must have hidden it in many places."
Yang Chan's figure flickered and vanished.
Shan Yao watched the fainted Li Mo with worry.
'It's been so long and he still hasn't woken up.
Please, please don't let anything happen to him. No, nothing will happen to him! '
On the fifth day after Zheng Wufang's ambush, news spread in the expert world that alien races thought to be extinct once again appeared.
"The number is not a small number. From the current intelligence, the number of alien races that have appeared in various parts of the world is at least more than a thousand."
"A thousand is just the number that's revealed. How many are there that aren't?"
"Experts must unite or Earth's fate will be at stake!"
Experts Alliance's leader Lan Yue made a public announcement, "I have decided to call for China's first expert assembly. I hope all experts will attend, not for anything else, but for our common future!"
Lan Yue's treatment of his son aside, he was a competent leader in every other aspect. Li Mo's decision to give him the Experts Alliance chief position was because of this.
Du Fei returned. He never left Li Mo's house after hearing of Zheng Wufang's ambush.
While Li Mo was in a coma, China's first expert assembly began.
On the fifth day of China's first expert assembly, Li Mo woke up.
When Li Mo opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Shan Yao's happy face.
It took Li Mo three months to wake up from his coma.
Li Mo wanted to sit up but found he had no strength left. It had been too long since he last moved. It would take months for him to fully recover.
Shan Yao was a considerate person. Seeing Li Mo raise his head, she helped him up, using her body as a blanket.
Feeling the softness on his back, Li Mo felt strange. But he couldn't care less. If Shan Yao didn't help him, he wouldn't be able to sit up.
Shan Yao said, "Zheng Wufang killed the Jiang siblings."
