At this moment, Xue Fanxin did not know that the god worshiped by the Flowing Cloud Sect had already been dealt with by the Nine-tailed Silver Fox and did not have the ability to chase after her, so she was still working hard to escape.
After flying over the Netherworld River on the large eagle, Xue Fanxin gave each large eagle a Beast Spirit Pill as promised and thanked them sincerely.
“Thank you. This place has already passed the Netherworld River and is the territory of the Nether City. Go back quickly lest you encounter any danger.”
After the large eagles obtained the Beast Spirit Pill, they looked at Xue Fanxin reluctantly before flapping their wings and flying into the sky.
Xue Fanxin watched the eagles leave. She only retracted her gaze when they were far away. Then, she turned back to look ahead and sensed the different aura here.
The Netherworld River was only dangerous on top of the river. As long as you did not cross the river, nothing would happen.
Hence, after crossing the Netherworld River, Xue Fanxin felt especially relaxed. She no longer felt the pressure of urgently running for her life and could rest properly.
“Fanjiu, where are we going now?” Zhou Xiaotong sat on the ground. At this moment, he had already caught his breath. He looked at the endless forest in front of him, his eyes filled with confusion.
“This is the territory of the Nether City. We’re going to the Nether City.” Xue Fanxin wanted to say, ‘Let’s go our separate ways when we reach the Nether City’, but she did not say it in the end, nor did she know how to say it.
Zhou Xiaotong did not have a cultivation level. If the Nether City was a dangerous place with fish and snakes mixed together, wouldn’t leaving him behind harm him?
She would save him to the end. Since she had already saved him, she should save him completely.
If there was no other way, she could just use the power of the Black Shadow Guards or the Nine Cloud Palace to send him back to his hometown.
In short, she had no intention of keeping Zhou Xiaotong.
“Nether City, what type of place is that?” Zhou Xiaotong asked with great interest.
“I don’t know what the Nether City is like either, because I’ve never been there.”
What kind of place was Nether City?
No matter what kind of place the Nether City was, she was only passing by. It was enough as long as she did not meet the Lord of the Nether City. After all, that guy and Ah Jiu were not on good terms. She did not know if he was friend or foe. Even if he was not an enemy, he would not be a friend.
Xue Fanxin rested on the spot for a while before getting up and leaving, walking deeper into the forest.
The forest here was different from the Yungu Mountain Range. There were very few high-level demonic beasts, almost none. There were only some low-level small demonic beasts, or even wild beasts.
After walking for dozens of kilometers, they would occasionally see traces of human activity. From this, it could be seen that the danger level of this forest was not high.
After walking for an entire day, the sky was already dark. Xue Fanxin decided to stop and rest. She found a suitable place to set up a tent and start a fire to cook.
Zhou Xiaotong helped and asked curiously from time to time, “Fanjiu, you’re a consort. Why did you pretend to be An Xiaomeng and sneak into the Flowing Cloud Sect? Since you’re the Ninth Consort, why don’t you have a guard or follower by your side?”
“Xiaotong, there are some things that are not good to know,” Xue Fanxin replied very tactfully, not wanting Zhou Xiaotong to know too much about her.
“Alright, I won’t ask if you don’t want to say it. Let’s talk about it when you want to.” Zhou Xiaotong was a sensible person. He knew the true meaning of Xue Fanxin’s words, so he did not ask further and said something pleasant.
“Fanjiu, do you still have that Beast Spirit Pill? How about giving me a few?”
“Sure!”
“You mean it?”
“When have I ever lied to you? Take it. There are ten Beast Spirit Pills here.” Xue Fanxin gave it to him just like that. She took out a bottle of Beast Spirit Pills from her space and threw it to Zhou Xiaotong.
But suddenly, a spirit technique attacked and swept away the bottle of Beast Spirit Pills.
