Chapter 471 Huo Yang's Headache

"She can't have gone far, let's split up and chase her right away!"

Even a teleportation talisman can only teleport a distance of a thousand miles. As long as they pursue with all their might, they will catch up with the two of them very soon.

He gave the order and immediately chose a direction to pursue them.

The remaining elders looked at each other for a moment before saying, "You disciples shouldn't chase after her. That woman is very strange; you might get implicated."

"Let's go after them!"

After discussing it among themselves, the elders each chose a different direction and chased after the enemy.

The elders' actions immediately put Huo Yang to shame.

It was clearly all a personal feud caused by Huo Yang himself, yet Huo Yang showed no remorse whatsoever towards anyone, and even disregarded the danger to his disciples…

Up until now, Huo Yang has not paid any attention to what that Nascent Soul stage cultivator said from beginning to end; his only thought is to hunt down Song Wanning and the other person.

The crowd was already somewhat unhappy, and now, in comparison, they were even more dissatisfied with Huo Yang's actions.

However, this alone is still not enough to affect Huo Yang's status...

……

"Boom!"

Song Wanning and Baili Shang landed heavily on the ground, swaying slightly before regaining their balance.

Baili Shang felt a sudden brightness before his eyes, and the dizziness of the shifting stars finally dissipated. What came into view was a familiar place, the very spot where the Immortal Palace had appeared before.

"He actually came back?"

Baili Shang looked at Song Wanning with some surprise, his eyes full of astonishment and doubt.

Keep in mind that they had been hiding for several days and were already very far away from this place. Song Wanning was able to return here with just one rune. How terrifying is that strength?

Even he is far from reaching that level!

Bai Lishang felt a chill run down his spine. If he had only thought of Song Wanning as a genius at first, he had now completely changed his mind.

Such a brilliant and talented person, if they had been in the Spirit Realm from the beginning, who knows how terrifying their advancement would have been.

Even I am ashamed of myself.

Baili Shang's admiration for Song Wanning grew stronger; meeting Song Wanning was his good fortune.

"I simply used spatial runes to create a teleportation channel between the two locations, but this channel cannot be maintained for long; it will lose its effectiveness once the spiritual energy dissipates."

"I only took advantage of the unique terrain of this place."

Seeing the admiration in Baili Shang's eyes, Song Wanning smiled.

This place was once the site of a celestial palace, and there are natural formations around it that prevent the energy within from dissipating.

After she learned spatial runes, she had already thought of this method. Only in this way could she hope to get rid of those hateful people.

The clone had already merged with her when it caught up, and brought back all those treasures, each one of which made Song Wan Ning's heart pound with fear.

Did the clone steal all of the Huo family's most precious treasures?
No wonder the elders were so relentless in their pursuit of Huo Jinchuan; with such a treasure stolen, they might even kill him!

Her eyes narrowed, and she immediately said to Baili Shang, "Let's go, before they catch up, let's find a place to hide and then figure out what to do next!"

"it is good!"

Bai Li Shang nodded. He was now completely following Song Wan Ning's orders without the slightest hesitation.

Even he himself didn't realize it.

Soon, following the map, Song Wanning chose a safe direction.

Now is not the time to deal with Huo Jinchuan, after all, there are still those elders chasing him. Let's just watch them fight it out for now, and I, the fisherman, will reap the benefits from behind.

…Huo Yang and the others lost track of the person, completely lost track of him.

The elders and he could only return empty-handed, and despite their anger, they could only rush back to the Huo family in a huff.

The elders are all outside; if their home is raided, that would be a very serious matter.

The group rushed back to the Huo family home, and everyone looked extremely grim.

Especially the Nascent Soul cultivator whose lifespan was shortened by five hundred years, it seemed as if all the spiritual energy in his body had been drained.

The disciples who remained in the Huo family were even more astonished upon seeing this, and they all secretly inquired about the situation. After learning the reason for the incident, they were shocked and turned pale.

A mere rune caused someone to lose five hundred years of their lifespan...

Wouldn't those with low cultivation levels just die outright?

This is too terrible.

For a time, the Huo family disciples were filled with unease and discussed this terrifying enemy.

Meanwhile, in the Huo family's council hall, a major battle was about to erupt.

The elders exchanged somber glances, their faces grim. Finally, the Seventh Elder stepped forward and asked, "Clan Chief, how do you plan to handle the matter of Huo Jinchuan stealing the Huo family's most precious treasure?"

"Now they've sent word that Huo Jinchuan is still on the run..."

Everyone had wanted to bring this up on the way back, but Huo Yang's mood was so low that no one wanted to risk it, so it was delayed until now.

Huo Yang, who was originally angry for Song Wanning, turned pale upon hearing these words.

How could Huo Jinchuan possibly steal the treasure?

That's utter nonsense!

"You must have made a mistake. How could Huo Jinchuan steal the Huo family's treasures?"

He knew perfectly well that Huo Jinchuan had been staying at the Immortal Palace, so how could he possibly have come back to the Huo family to steal things?

But he couldn't say it, since he had previously claimed that Huo Jinchuan had been made to disappear by Song Wanning and the other woman, and if he changed his story now, it would be difficult to justify himself.

"Hmph, does the clan leader intend to protect him?"

“We all saw him return with our own eyes, and Elder Li even watched him enter the treasure pavilion, and then the items started to disappear!”

"Could it be that we've wronged him?"

"Chieftain, you can't protect him just because he's your son, can you?"

The elders were all furious. They could understand Huo Yang's love for his son, but now he had stolen the clan's most important treasures, and the loss was too great.

Even if Huo Yang offered compensation, he couldn't afford it.

"Clan leader, you must call Huo Jinchuan back right now. As long as the treasure is still here, we'll only punish him a little..."

"The most important thing now is to get the treasure back; our Huo family can't afford to lose it!!!"

Some elders played the good cop, while others played the bad cop, causing Huo Yang's face to turn pale and then red.

He was holding his breath, and his head was throbbing with pain.

How could he possibly contact Huo Jinchuan now, let alone get the treasure back?

"Are you sure it's Huo Jinchuan? Could it be someone else dressed up as him?"

He now truly regrets his initial statements, which have now become obstacles for him, and he can no longer explain them clearly.

"Clan leader, do you think we're all that stupid? That we can't even recognize Huo Jinchuan?"

"We watched him grow up!"

The elders laughed in exasperation. Everyone had seen Huo Jinchuan; how could they possibly mistake him?
