Chapter 10: Crazy Luo Jie (Part 2)

A spectacle appeared in the sky: a altar was flying at the front, pursued by two more altars wreathed in black flames, with even more altars chasing behind them. At first glance, it resembled an arrow shape.
Guo Shier turned back and exclaimed, “So fast!”
The old man reassured him, “It’s okay. With an old man here, they can’t catch us!”
Guo Shier said, “I have a way to save them… but they won’t stop to let me help. Old man, think fast! What should we do?”
The old man replied, “Don’t worry about saving them now. First, figure out a way to get them off this continent. There are a bunch of altar experts chasing after us—there’s nothing you can do.”
The altar experts behind them shouted frantically, “Hey, you guys ahead! Stop running around! Bring them back! Bring them back!”
Guo Shier pretended not to hear them and continued speeding ahead. He would never lead Master Luo Jie and Grandpa Nan Shan back—that would cost their lives. While controlling the altar, he said, “Everyone, come up with a plan! What should we do?” His mind was in chaos—partly from the joy of finding Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan, and partly from the distress of being chased by them.
Nanyou said, “What to do? Just give up!”
The Eagle Demon nudged him and whispered, “Don’t joke around. Shier will get worried!”
Guo Shier glared at Nanyou, his icy gaze making Nanyou shiver. He knew Guo Shier was anxious. He had meant to joke to lighten the mood, but now he realized the two pursuers were very important to Guo Shier. He rarely saw Guo Shier so worried—this guy was usually carefree; even if he seemed scared on the surface, he really didn’t care.
Luo Zhan asked, “Is it possible to communicate with the old man?”
Guo Shier shook his head. “Impossible. Their souls are chaotic. They won’t listen to any explanations now. If we face each other, it’ll be a fight. I don’t know… if I can block their soul flames.” He was deeply conflicted. If Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan could sit down calmly, he would be confident in purifying their souls, but that prerequisite was currently unattainable.
Nanyou said, “I do have an idea, but… I’m not sure if it’ll work.”
Guo Shier snapped, “Hurry up and tell me!”
Nanyou cleared his throat and said, “Find the teleportation array here and escape this continent first… Judging from their attitude, it seems they hold a grudge against you. They’ll likely follow us.”

Guo Shier thought this was also a viable option—getting rid of those altar-level experts behind him would be best. They were constantly chasing after him, causing a lot of trouble. It would be impossible for him to communicate with Luo Jie either, as they couldn’t even speak. The moment he called out “master,” he would become a target for those experts to hunt down. So, getting rid of those altar-level experts was the top priority.

The old man said, “It can be tried.”

Guo Shier immediately turned his altar and flew toward the teleportation array. He knew where it was—he had been here before and was familiar with both the location of the teleportation array and Ban Xilong’s fortress.

Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan pursued desperately, while Guo Shier fled frantically ahead, with those altar-level experts closely following. They all cursed at Guo Shier—so many experts had died, and it had taken great effort to set up the trap, only for Guo Shier to ruin it all.

As time passed, only a few dozen of those altar-level experts managed to keep up; the rest were left far behind. With the old man’s help, Guo Shier’s flying speed was no slower than that of Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan, allowing him to maintain a lead of about a kilometer.

Beyond Ban Xilong’s fortress, everything below was still in ruins. Some people were already starting to clean up, including ordinary folks and low-level professionals. Hearing the roar of Guo Shier’s altar as it flew by, they looked up—but saw only Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan, prompting them to shout in fear.

In the blink of an eye, Guo Shier passed over the fortress and flew toward the teleportation array not far away.

When Guo Shier saw the teleportation array from afar, a sense of unease surged in him. The old man said, “Trouble—this teleportation array seems to be destroyed!”

The huge platform was in chaos, with countless corpses lying around. It seemed like a dead zone.

Guo Shier flew above the teleportation array, his heart turning icy. “It really is destroyed!” He didn’t dare pause and flew straight over it, continuing onward.

A moment later, Guo Shier was already far away. He said, “I wonder if there are any other teleportation arrays on the Gu Xi Long Continent… Damn it!”

The old man shook his head. “Whether it’s destroyed or intact, kid, I’ve calculated it—there’s no time for you to use the teleportation array.”

Guo Shier thought for a moment and nodded. “True. The time it takes to activate the array is enough for that old man to catch up. That would be troublesome… Damn, I can’t just keep circling around on the Gu Xi Long Continent!”

The old man said, “Apart from the Shang Xi Long Valley, you can only run around aimlessly now.”

Guo Shier said painfully, “Sigh, damn it, what kind of situation is this… I’m running!”
Nan You couldn’t help but laugh. He said, “Shier, good luck is gone—bad luck has arrived!” Realizing his words might not be appropriate, he added, “Of course, it’s temporary. Hehe, it’s temporary; we’ll find a way to solve it.”
Eagle Demon said calmly, “There’s actually another method, but it carries certain risks.”
Guo Shier asked, “What?” His mind was in chaos; he couldn’t think of a proper solution right away and could only follow everyone’s advice.
Eagle Demon said, “Use the Great Cross-Realm Talisman. I’ve calculated the timing—once it’s activated and then shut down, it should give us enough time to enter… The old man and the others will arrive just in time. If they want to continue chasing, they’ll follow in, and the altar-level experts behind them won’t make it in time… We don’t even know where we’ll go.”
Luo Zhan asked, “What if the old man doesn’t enter the talisman gate…?”
Eagle Demon sighed. “That’s the uncertain factor. If they refuse to follow, it’ll be troublesome, but it’s still an opportunity.”
The old man pondered for a moment before saying, “This method works. We have to take a gamble. Just running away like this means nothing.”
Nan You said, “I agree. It’s an opportunity.”
Guo Shier asked, “Uncle Luo, what do you think?”
Luo Zhan nodded. “It’s worth trying. Even if it fails, it doesn’t matter. We can come back without losing anything.”
Guo Shier nodded. “Okay. Old Man, prepare the Great Cross-Realm Talisman. As soon as I stop, activate it immediately. There must be no mistakes in the transition. If the old man catches up, it will only take a few breaths. If anything goes wrong during that time, we’re done.”
The old man said, “Don’t worry. Leave it to me!”
Guo Shier said, “Wait for me to shout ‘stop,’ then Old Man, activate it.” After flying for a while, Guo Shier even teleported a short distance to cover more ground before suddenly stopping and shouting, “Stop! Activate!”
The old man cast a spell and immediately activated the Great Cross-Realm Talisman, causing a talisman gate to appear abruptly. By then, Luo Jie and the others had closed in to less than a hundred meters behind them. As soon as Guo Shier saw the gate appear, he rushed forward and instantly passed through it.
Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan, filled with rage, rushed in without hesitation, their minds confused and unconcerned about whether there were traps inside the gate. If they had been clear-headed, they would never have followed in.

Yan Ruodai and the others chased after them, but they were still a bit behind. They saw Guo Shier and the others dash into the Talisman Gate, followed by two black-talismaned men who also rushed in. By the time they reached the gate, it had already shattered and disappeared.
A tall man stood on the five-story altar and asked, “Who are they? Yan Ruodai, do you know them?”
Bao Chengyong said, “I find them familiar.”
Yan Ruodai nodded and said, “They’re from the Gu Miluo family.”
The man pondered for a moment before saying, “That’s good. As long as these two troublemakers leave the Gu Xilong Continent, we can consider it a victory. Their strength… is truly terrifying.”
Bao Chengyong asked, “Yan Ruodai, who are they? Why do they seem so familiar to me?”
Yan Ruodai replied indifferently, “Once, someone obtained the Gu Molian…”
Bao Chengyong exclaimed in surprise, “Ah? Guo Shier? How is that possible? I thought he was already on the third-story altar… Uh, right, that little guy. I still remember his face. It’s incredible. Could it be the effect of the Gu Molian?”
…
Guo Shier shouted, “Master Luo Jie, Grandpa Qi Nanshan, stop fighting! It’s me, Guo Shier!”
Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan trembled, and their speed naturally slowed down. Their eyes were filled with confusion.
Guo Shier continued to shout, “Master, it’s me, Shier!”
Eagle Demon also called out, “Old man, it’s Eagle Demon!”
Finally, both sides stopped and hovered in midair. Guo Shier didn’t dare get closer, staying about 400 meters away as he kept shouting loudly, trying to remind them of him.
Luo Jie hesitated slightly, and Qi Nanshan also seemed puzzled. They exchanged a glance, and Luo Jie suddenly said, “We can’t… we can’t reveal… our… our information… Attack!” The two rushed at Guo Shier at once.
Guo Shier fled in panic, crying helplessly, “Damn it, what should I do now…”
