235: Chapter 235 Escape from Death

Upon seeing an opportunity to escape, Daoist Master Cangxuan's heart began to pound wildly.

He looked up at the earth-shattering battle in the sky, then glanced at the Dragon Clan members nearby who were as calm as if watching a play, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled upward.

This was truly a god-given opportunity!

The Dragon Emperor was entangled by that madwoman Feng Qingluan; with two Half-Step Immortal Realm experts fighting, it would be impossible to determine a victor without three days and three nights.

If he didn't run now, when would he?

Daoist Master Cangxuan took a deep breath, struggling to calm himself down.

He couldn't be anxious, and he couldn't panic!

He had to take it one step at a time.

He first returned to his room to change into very ordinary clothes.

Afterward, he took out the supreme treasure that concealed his presence.

With everything prepared, Daoist Master Cangxuan pushed open the door and walked out.

In the sky, a Dragon and a Phoenix were fighting until the heavens darkened and the earth overturned.

However, the Dragon Clan members on the ground continued with their business, completely unaffected; some even set up tea tables on the ruins, drinking tea while watching the spectacle.

"This time, I bet on His Majesty the Dragon Emperor to win! One hundred Spirit Stones!"

"I bet on Clan Chief Feng! His Majesty the Dragon Emperor loses every time; he definitely won't win this time!"

"Then why are you still betting?"

"I'm betting on Clan Chief Feng to win!"

"You scoundrels, do you have no shame? As members of the Dragon Clan, how can you bet on Clan Chief Feng?"

"I bet on His Majesty the Dragon Emperor to win, one inferior-grade Spirit Stone!"

"Damn it! You shameless bastard, how can you have the nerve to mention an inferior-grade Spirit Stone?"

Seeing this scene, the corners of Daoist Master Cangxuan's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Were these Dragon Clan members too laid-back?

Their own homes were about to be demolished, yet they still had the heart to gamble?

However, for him, this provided the perfect opportunity.

Daoist Master Cangxuan did not take the main road.

He was too clever and knew the main road had too many eyes. Although he had concealed all his Qi, what if he encountered someone with sharp eyes?

He could not take the risk.

Therefore, he chose a small path.

This was something he had discovered during this period, and now it finally came in handy.

Calling it a path was generous; it was actually a gap between two mountain peaks, so narrow that only one person could pass through sideways.

Daoist Master Cangxuan turned sideways and, like a crab, inched forward bit by bit.

After finally squeezing through the gap, he ducked into a small forest.

This was a type of ornamental bamboo forest unique to the Dragon Clan; the bamboo was dense, and not even a cat could squeeze through.

But Daoist Master Cangxuan was a Domain Realm expert.

Although he couldn't transform, he still knew the bone-shrinking technique.

He took a deep breath.

Shrinking his body, he became as thin as a noodle and slipped through the gaps in the bamboo.

"Phew..."

"Good thing I practiced this, otherwise I would have been stuck here today."

"I, a dignified Late Stage Domain Realm expert, have actually been reduced to such a pathetic state; it's truly shameful..."

"If the people of the Tianxuan Dynasty found out about this, where would I hide my old face?"

After crossing the bamboo forest, there was a small path leading directly outside the Dragon Clan territory.

"That's the path!"

After walking out of the bamboo forest, Daoist Master Cangxuan patted the dirt off his body, then hunched over and started running along the path.

As he ran, he heard footsteps ahead.

Without a second thought, he turned around and dove directly into the grass by the side of the road.

The grass was very deep, just enough to hide a person.

Daoist Master Cangxuan crouched in the grass, holding his breath, not moving an inch.

The footsteps grew closer.

It was two Dragon Clan maidservants, chatting as they walked.

"Have you heard? That Human Race Cultivator who was forced into marriage, I think his name is Cang something, supposedly he's quite good-looking."

"What's the use of being good-looking? He has to be useful in that regard!"

"That's true, let's hope he isn't just for show..."

"But I heard he's quite pitiful, being forced to marry. If it were me, I wouldn't be happy either."

"You? You're dreaming! Would the Princess fancy you?"

"I'm just making a comparison..."

The two maidservants chatted and laughed as they walked past the grass.

Daoist Master Cangxuan crouched in the grass, not daring to breathe.

Only when their footsteps completely faded did he poke his head out of the grass and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Damn it, that scared the hell out of me..."

"Good thing I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been discovered."

After saying this, he continued to move forward.

Along the way, he encountered several groups of people.

There were patrolling guards, playing Dragon Clan children, and a Dragon Clan couple dating under a tree.

Every single time, he was able to discover them in advance and hide.

Hiding in the grass.

Hiding in tree hollows.

Hiding in the crevices of rockeries, and he even hid in a dry well once.

There was one time he couldn't find a place to hide, and in his desperation, he dove headfirst into a pile of cow dung.

The cow dung was piled high and emitted a pungent odor.

After Daoist Master Cangxuan dove in, he almost fainted from the stench, but he didn't dare move because a patrol of guards was passing by outside.

"Brother, did you smell something?"

"It seems... like the smell of cow dung?"

"Cow dung? Where would cow dung come from here?"

"I don't know, maybe some Yao Beast raised by someone ran out."

"Strange..."

The guards muttered a few words and left.

Daoist Master Cangxuan crawled out of the cow dung, covered in filth, with a few clumps even stuck to his face.

He was on the verge of tears.

"I, a dignified Late Stage Domain Realm expert, actually hid in cow dung..."

"If people find out about this, my old face... forget it, I've already lost all my dignity anyway."

He found a small stream, washed himself off, and continued his journey.

Just like that, he avoided everyone, crossed the entire Dragon Clan territory, and finally walked out of the Dragon Clan.

What presented itself before him was a vast expanse of land.

The sun was bright, birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, and the wind blowing on his face felt warm and ticklish.

"I am... free."

He roared toward the sky, his voice filled with excitement and joy.

But he only shouted halfway before covering his mouth.

"Can't shout, can't shout, what if someone hears me..."

He covered his mouth and chuckled softly.

"Hehehe... hehehe..."

That laughter was extremely sleazy, very much like a weasel that had stolen a chicken.

After laughing for a while, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and then—

He began to fly.

Not tearing through the Void Realm, but flying normally.

Just like an old hen flapping its wings, moving slowly, unhurriedly, and one could even say sluggishly.

He dared not tear through the Void Realm.

Because tearing through the Void Realm would cause intense spatial fluctuations, and although the Dragon Emperor fighting in the sky was very busy, what if he sensed it?

The Divine Thought of a Half-Step Immortal Realm expert covered hundreds of millions of miles; if he tore open the Void Realm here, the Dragon Emperor might just sneeze over there.

Therefore, he could only fly.

Fly slowly.

Fly like a snail.

As he flew, he felt he was too slow, so he increased his speed.

From a snail to a tortoise.

Still slow.

He increased his speed again.

From a tortoise to a rabbit.

Still slow.

He increased his speed again.

From a rabbit to a cheetah.

"That's about right."

"At this speed, it won't cause spatial fluctuations, and I can leave the Dragon Clan territory as soon as possible. Perfect!"

He flew like this for a whole day and night.

He flew over mountain after mountain, river after river, and forest after forest.

He didn't encounter anyone on the road, no Yao Beasts, not even a single bird.

Daoist Master Cangxuan found it strange, but he didn't think much of it.

Later, he discovered that the direction he was flying in was a dead zone, barren for ten thousand miles, where not even an ant could survive.

"No wonder there was no one..."

He muttered to himself, then continued flying.

After flying for another day and night, he finally flew out of the Cangmang Mountain Range...
