Rui'er underwent a painful sacrifice ritual in the Fallen Angel Temple, draining her vitality and leaving her near death. Ye Haochuan rescued her, and after questioning her, learned about the sacrifice method used by divine servants and their connection to a Chief God. He also insinuated that Ye Xiao might not have been able to get close to Rui'er, which she angrily denied, revealing she maintained her purity for her escape plan.

"Are you inquiring about this because you plan to challenge the Chief God?" Rui’er questioned with evident shock.

"You need not concern yourself with that. Simply relay what you know!" Ye Haochuan stated icily.

Only then did Rui’er set aside her reservations and disclose, "Entities with two wings typically possess cultivation at the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage, while those with four wings generally reside in the Immortal Transformation Late Stage. Similarly, six-winged beings are found at the Immortal Transformation Peak."

"The zenith is merely six wings?"

"Certainly not!" Rui’er clarified, continuing, "The gulf between six and eight wings is immense. Once one transcends this threshold, they attain the subsequent realm. As for sixteen wings, that’s a matter bordering on legend."

Ye Haochuan became lost in contemplation upon hearing this.

According to Rui’er’s information, six-winged angels would likely possess power comparable to cultivators in the True Immortal Realm. Against an adversary of such caliber, he would undoubtedly be vanquished instantly. Even his most potent ability, invisibility, might prove insufficient against a True Immortal Realm expert.

"Ah well, I shall face challenges as they arise. Regardless of the circumstances, I must find a way to depart from this location!" Ye Haochuan resolved internally.

His unexpected arrival in this world had left him no opportunity for prior strategic planning.

It is worth noting that Long Keyue and the others are likely still in Anxi County, arduously searching for him.

Furthermore, one could not be certain of the intentions of the demonic beasts residing in Mushan County. Should the Prefecture Master of the Myriad Realms Mansion fail to maintain vigilance, these demonic beasts could potentially exploit the situation to rapidly expand their influence. If they were then to launch an assault on Anxi County, would Long Keyue and his companions not find themselves in grave peril?

He dared not harbor the hope that the Fat Worm would recall their past camaraderie and once again spare Long Keyue and the others.

"Since you have been drawn into this world and will no longer have the means to inflict harm upon the Xuanmen, I shall permit your departure this time. You may leave!" Ye Haochuan declared with disinterest before walking away, deep in thought.

Rui’er’s expression abruptly shifted to one of uncertainty. After a moment of reflection, she suddenly called out, halting Ye Haochuan, "Wait a moment!"

"What is it? I have no intention of ending your life. Are you perhaps requesting that I do so?" Ye Haochuan regarded Rui’er with amusement, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"No, I..." Rui’er faltered, stammering for a considerable duration before attempting to articulate, "Could you... offer me salvation?"

"Salvation? Are you not currently unharmed? In what manner do you require my assistance for deliverance?" Ye Haochuan inquired, feigning surprise.

"I..." Rui’er appeared conflicted, and after a prolonged silence, she shook her head with a sigh, stating, "Never mind, simply disregard my words!"

Having spoken, she slowly turned, her weary form dragging itself away.

"Utterly nonsensical!" Ye Haochuan muttered under his breath, summoning his Flying Sword to take flight.

He could discern that Rui’er harbored further unspoken words, yet he had no desire to prolong his interaction with a former adversary.

After Ye Haochuan had ascended into the sky, Rui’er turned once more, observing his receding silhouette until it vanished into the distance. She murmured to herself, "How utterly foolish of me. Despite his might, how could he possibly contend with the Chief God? Should I have sought his aid, we would have both perished!"

She spun around once more, a semblance of resigned desolation gracing her posture.

As Ye Haochuan navigated the skies via Sword Control, his thoughts remained consumed by anxieties regarding the safety of Long Keyue and the others.

Abruptly, a palpable sense of impending danger surged towards him with alarming speed.

He shuddered involuntarily and twisted his head to observe, a cold sweat breaking out on his brow.

He beheld a four-winged Fallen Angel, resembling a black meteor, hurtling directly in his direction.

Great heavens, how did I encounter such a formidable foe so swiftly?

Ye Haochuan experienced extreme vexation and hastily increased his velocity in an attempt to evade.

He remained unaware that this entity had been dispatched by Mason, a four-winged angel identified as Cody, with the explicit purpose of apprehending him.

Within the confines of this Tianxi World, there existed no one whom the Holy See could not locate; thus, Cody easily ascertained Ye Haochuan’s trajectory and commenced his pursuit.

Cody operated at the Immortal Transformation Late Stage, yet Ye Haochuan harbored no illusions of defeating him as readily as he had dispatched Mus.

At equivalent cultivation levels, an angel’s combat prowess demonstrably surpasses that of a standard knight or mage.

Furthermore, an angel’s methods of cultivation were not solely reliant on ranged assaults; consequently, even if he managed to close the distance with Cody, vanquishing him would not prove straightforward. Instead, such an action would expose him, plunging him into a perilous predicament.

For this reason, Ye Haochuan elected to flee upon the initial sighting of Cody.

With the aid of the Gale Immortal Canon and the artifact known as the Communicating with God Treasure Order, Ye Haochuan’s speed was propelled to its absolute limits.

Even so, he proved incapable of evading Cody’s relentless pursuit; the chasm between them demonstrably diminished with each passing moment.

Unlike the cultivators of other disciplines, the wings possessed by angels were not mere constructs of Spiritual Energy or Flower Energy but were tangible appendages, granting them speeds many times superior to those of ordinary cultivators.

"Little brat, you still think you can get away from me?" Cody sneered, launching a black arrow of light directly at Ye Haochuan.

In a moment of panic, Ye Haochuan summoned the Halberd of Heaven and Earth.

Clink~

The halberd’s tip met the arrow, emitting a sharp clang.

Buzz~

A shadowy force surged through the Halberd of Heaven and Earth and into Ye Haochuan’s body, causing him to tremble.

Damn it, this four-winged angel’s power is truly immense!

Ye Haochuan was taken aback, once again recognizing the vast difference in power between himself and Cody. He didn’t dare to face him directly and pushed himself to fly even faster.

As they chased, countless mountains and rivers blurred beneath them.

Could it be that I truly cannot escape?

Sensing the Spiritual Energy within the Communicating with God Treasure Order dwindling, Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly.

Once the Spiritual Energy in the Communicating with God Treasure Order was depleted, he would have to use his own energy to activate its effects, a far more costly endeavor.

Given Cody’s relentless pursuit, he would not stop until Ye Haochuan was captured. However, Ye Haochuan clearly lacked the stamina for an extended chase.

Just as Ye Haochuan began to despair, his eyes caught sight of a peculiar area ahead.

It was a swamp, a strange mosaic of black and white, resembling checkerboard tiles.

To his astonishment and relief, he could not perceive anything within its depths. This meant that once he entered, Cody would lose track of him.

Without a second thought, he altered his course and headed directly for the swamp.

Spotting Ye Haochuan veering towards the black and white swamp, Cody’s lips curled into a mocking smile. "Foolish boy, entering that place means certain death. You should have stayed with me; perhaps I would have spared you if I was in a good mood someday!"

"Do you take me for an idiot? A quick death is far preferable to being tormented by you," Ye Haochuan retorted with contempt before plunging into the swamp.

The moment Ye Haochuan entered the swamp, all visibility vanished, enveloping him in darkness devoid of any color.
