144: Three to high-ranking wanted

In a battlefield ten Major Thousand Worlds away from the Five Evolutions Great Thousand World.

Long Yin and the Demon Emperor were in the middle of a fierce battle when they suddenly stopped at the same time and looked towards the Five Evolutions Great Thousand World.

Just now, they both felt those terrifying combat fluctuations.

A collision at the Immortal King level was even more intense than the battle on their side!

"Is that the God Emperor's Aura?" The Demon Emperor's expression changed. "Who is he fighting?"

Long Yin also sensed it, but what shocked him even more was that the other Aura was actually stronger than his own.

"What's going on? Does Big Brother have an Immortal King under his command?"

"But didn't Second Brother say that the Dynasty didn't even have a Golden Immortal?"

"Could Second Brother be hiding something from me?"

For a moment, Long Yin was also uncertain.

Fortunately, this was good news for him.

Long Qinger and the Demon Empress also stopped fighting and looked into the distance.

"The God Emperor's Aura is weakening; he's fleeing!" The Demon Empress's face turned grim.

In the entire Myriad Laws Star Domain, besides a few individuals, who else could make the God Emperor flee?

The Demon Emperor made a prompt decision: "Withdraw!"

The God Emperor had clearly lost; there was no point in them staying any longer.

The Demon Emperor and the Demon Empress tore through the Void Realm, instantly escaping and vanishing.

Long Yin and Long Qinger looked at each other, both seeing a hint of bewilderment and relief in the other's eyes.

"The Aura that fought the God Emperor just now was terrifyingly strong." Long Qinger's expression was grave. "If it weren't for this person, the God Emperor would likely have already fought his way to the Five Evolutions Great Thousand World."

Long Yin nodded, staring towards the Five Evolutions Great Thousand World with a slight frown. "And that Aura just now was clearly at the Immortal King level, and not even an ordinary Immortal King."

Xuanyuan Che stepped forward and said in a heavy voice, "Third Brother, regardless, the God Emperor's retreat is to our advantage. Right now, the most important thing is to rush back to the Five Evolutions True Realm and see if Big Brother is alright."

Long Qinger also nodded. "Husband, to avoid any further complications, we must speed up."

Long Yin took a deep breath, suppressing the doubts in his heart. "Let's go!"

The nine true dragons pulled the phoenix carriage once more, and the Yao Race procession turned into streaks of light, racing towards the Five Evolutions Great Thousand World.

In the turbulent undercurrents of the distant Void Realm.

The powerhouses of the Myriad Laws Star Realm who had followed along were dumbstruck.

"The God Emperor lost just like that? And fled so pathetically?" a Golden Immortal muttered, his face filled with disbelief.

He knew the God Emperor's strength; he was one of the top five super-powerhouses in the Myriad Laws Star Realm.

But after that brief fluctuation just now, the God Emperor's Aura had clearly weakened, followed by a panicked escape.

On the other hand, that unfamiliar Immortal King Aura was as steady as Mount Tai, even faintly possessing an Aura that suppressed everything.

"He didn't just lose." An ancient Immortal King spoke in a low voice, a deep wariness flashing in his eyes. "In my view, the God Emperor didn't just lose his Physical Body; his Origin was likely severely damaged as well."

He had seen all kinds of great battles, but a one-sided crushing like this was a first.

The opponent was clearly just a newly ascended Immortal King, yet their strength was ridiculously high!

"Taiyan Immortal Court, Emperor Yan." The Golden Immortal of the Night Elves felt alarm bells ringing in his heart and began to reassess the situation. "First, the Yao Emperor Long Yin fell out with the God Race and married his daughter off in an alliance."

"And now this terrifying female Immortal King has appeared, driving away the God Emperor with ease."

"This suddenly appearing Taiyan Immortal Court is definitely not simple."

"Long Yin hit the jackpot this time." A Golden Immortal of the Human Race sighed softly, a complex look in his eyes. "To be able to command such a powerhouse, or have them follow him willingly, that never-before-seen Emperor Yan is definitely extraordinary."

...Blue Star.

On the rooftop of an abandoned, unfinished building on the outskirts of the city.

The night wind rustled the clothes of the three men, their hair messy.

They leaned against a rusty iron railing; below them, the distant city's neon lights were blurred into a single mass.

The faces of the three men were hidden in the darkness, their expressions indiscernible, leaving only tense silhouettes.

Lu Chen was swiping on a phone with a screen cracked like a spiderweb when his finger suddenly stopped.

The phone's speaker broadcasted a news report:

"Regarding the murder of a certain Mr. Cao, the project department manager of Star Sea Network Technology Co., Ltd., the authorities have now identified three major suspects."

"Mo Tian, male, twenty-two years old; Yun Yin, male, twenty-three years old; Lu Chen, male, twenty-one years old."

"All three are former interns of the company and their whereabouts have been unknown since the incident."

"The authorities are now publicly offering a reward for clues; those who provide effective information to assist in the arrest will be heavily rewarded."

"Citizens are encouraged to actively provide clues. If you spot the three or have relevant information, please call the hotline immediately or report to the nearest police station."

"For any key clues that directly lead to the arrest, the authorities will provide a reward of 500,000 yuan and strictly keep the informant's information confidential."

"The net of justice is vast. We hope those with information will not hide it and will work together to maintain social justice."

The broadcast echoed repeatedly on the empty rooftop, sounding particularly harsh.

Lu Chen swiped up hard with his thumb, and the sound stopped abruptly.

He slammed the phone onto the concrete floor with a backhand, then turned his head, unable to suppress the irritability in his eyes. "Did you hear that? We're registered wanted criminals now."

"There are cameras all over the streets; we'll be recognized as soon as our faces are scanned."

"Tell me, what do we do next?"

Mo Tian, with his back to them, had been staring at the dark horizon. Hearing this, he suddenly turned around and slammed a fist hard against the exposed concrete wall beside him!

"Bang!"

After the muffled thud, a patch of wall plaster flaked off. His knuckles immediately became swollen and broken, with beads of blood seeping out.

"Damn it!" he squeezed out a low growl through his teeth, his voice extremely raspy. "This cursed world! The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is so dried up that not a drop is left; we can't even manage the most basic Qi Induction!"

Now they only had their memories; it was like discovering a Treasure Trove but having no key, only able to watch helplessly.

Yun Yin instinctively raised his hand to push up his glasses, but his hand met empty air.

There had been nothing on the bridge of his nose for a long time.

Even while on the run, he hadn't lost this habitual movement.

He looked slightly calmer than the two beside him, but the coldness and humiliation condensed in the depths of his eyes were not a bit less.

"If we had even the cultivation of the Yellow Pole Realm," his voice was cold enough to drop ice shards, "how could we have fallen to such a state?"

Just then.

The screen of the old phone on the ground suddenly lit up by itself, emitting a "buzzing" vibration.

The three of them instantly tensed up, their gazes simultaneously fixing on the flickering light.

It was an unknown number with no location displayed.

Lu Chen, Mo Tian, and Yun Yin quickly exchanged glances. One of them bent down to pick up the phone, hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone.

A voice-processed electronic voice came through:

"Mo Tian, Yun Yin, Lu Chen—I know where you are, I know what you've done, and I know what you want most right now."

The trio's bodies stiffened abruptly, their Aura instantly becoming dangerous.

"Don't be nervous." The electronic voice seemed to give a low chuckle. "I'm not the police, and I'm not here to catch you. On the contrary, I'm here to show you a way out."

"A way out?" Lu Chen let out a cold snort. "How? Smuggling us out? Or getting us some fake IDs?"

"Better than that," the electronic voice said unhurriedly. "I know a place. Once you're there, you can completely shake off the pursuit here, and no trouble will ever find you."

"What place?" Yun Yin's tone unconsciously carried a hint of urgency.

"A lawless land, a place full of opportunities," the electronic voice said in a tempting tone. "As long as you nod your heads, I can arrange the safest route to send you there."

"Once you're there, you'll be given a brand new start."

"Think carefully; this is probably your only way to survive right now."
