Chapter 1242: Big Yellow Dog

"You little brat!"

The fatty old man cursed loudly and soared into the sky, dashing off in one direction.

Over there, Ye Chen was making a quick escape. It had to be said, his speed in fleeing was truly impressive.

The woman in green clothes, whom Gu Lan had struck, also gave chase, joining the fatty old man. The two streaked across the void like twin immortal lights, their expressions oddly peculiar. They had been cultivating for so long, yet this was the first time they'd been played like fools.

The fatty old man, with a face full of dark lines, glanced sideways at Gu Lan, his expression strange, as if his eyes were saying: "I see you're looking too, and you're a woman—curious about a naked woman, are you?"

Glanced at like that by the fatty old man, Gu Lan felt extremely awkward. Who would have thought Ye Chen would pull something like this on them?

On the other side, Ye Chen had burst out of the ancient star and entered the starry sky.

"Help! Save me!"

No sooner had he stepped out than Ye Chen heard a howl of despair. Before the words even faded, a shadowy figure whooshed past him.

It was a young man in white clothes, who seemed to be on the run as well.

Sure enough, as Ye Chen suspected, there were pursuers behind the young man in white—two of them: a woman with purple hair and a black-robed elder. They also whooshed by in front of him.

Unlike the fatty old man and Gu Lan, who were Sheng, the purple-haired woman and the black-robed elder were only Zhun Sheng. But like the fatty old man and Gu Lan, their faces were also covered in dark lines.

It was worth noting that the young man in white's escape speed was indeed no joke.

Ye Chen didn't hold back and immediately activated his escape technique, shooting past the purple-haired woman and the black-robed elder like a beam of immortal light.

The purple-haired woman and the black-robed elder were stunned for a moment.

"You little brat!"

While they were dazed, the fatty old man and Gu Lan whooshed by them as well.

The expressions of the purple-haired woman and the black-robed elder turned awkward. They were all chasing someone, but the gap was this huge. Thinking about it, they mustered their strength, their vital energy surging as their speed suddenly skyrocketed.

Ahead, Ye Chen, flying at top speed like a streak of light, instantly overtook the young man in white.

"Whoa!"

The young man in white was startled; he'd never seen anyone run faster than him.

Whoosh!

As the young man in white was still reeling, the fatty old man and Gu Lan caught up, whooshing past him.

"I don't believe this!"

The young man in white was a bit unwilling to accept it. An ancient divine pattern appeared on his forehead, and his speed instantly surged. He overtook the fatty old man and Gu Lan who had just passed him, leaving them both stunned.

Behind them, the purple-haired woman and the black-robed elder had caught up. The four exchanged glances in perfect unison, all turning their heads to look at each other.

Up ahead, the young man in white caught up to Ye Chen, and the two glanced at each other, instantly feeling a sense of mutual respect.

"Run!"

In that instant of eye contact, the two shouted and bolted off together, one like divine light and the other like immortal radiance. Their speeds were neck and neck, absolutely thrilling.

"Stop them!"

From the starry sky behind, the fatty old man, Gu Lan, the purple-haired woman, and the black-robed elder gave chase—two men and two women, two Sheng and two Zhun Sheng. Shockingly, their speeds were evenly matched.

The vast starry sky had turned into quite the spectacle.

Many passing cultivators didn't even have time to react before being knocked flying by Ye Chen and the young man in white. Before they could steady themselves, they were spun around by the fatty old man and the others crashing into them.

"What's going on here?"

"Two Sheng and two Zhun Sheng chasing two Huang Jing?"

"Those two Huang Jing are seriously fast!"

Cultivators who spotted the scene from afar wisely kept their distance, buzzing with discussion.

Boom! Bang!

Soon after, thunderous booms echoed through the starry sky.

The fatty old man and his group were on a rampage, unleashing attacks as they chased.

Ye Chen and the young man in white were like they were on stimulants, dodging and fleeing all the way.

This pursuit and escape went on for a full day and night.

It wasn't until the second morning that Ye Chen and the young man in white darted into a massive ancient star, one after the other, like two streams of light, flying straight into an ancient city on the star.

"Transform!"

The moment the young man in white entered the city, he transformed into a da huang gou.

"Transform!"

Ye Chen followed suit without hesitation, but in a moment of carelessness, he glanced at the young man in white and ended up transforming into a da huang gou as well, unwittingly following along.

The two scampered over to a crooked-neck tree by the street and lay down there, concealing their cultivator auras and covering their true forms with mysterious techniques.

Everything happened in a flash. No sooner had they lain down than the fatty old man and Gu Lan burst in, but they saw no sign of Ye Chen or the young man in white.

"Where did they go?"

The fatty old man scanned the surroundings ceaselessly.

Gu Lan and the others did the same, their divine senses sweeping the entire ancient city. No one noticed Ye Chen and the young man in white under the crooked-neck tree—who would think to look for them as dogs?

Under the crooked-neck tree, Ye Chen scratched his dog head furiously with his paw.

This form was seriously eye-burning.

The mighty Desolate Ancient Holy Body, the world-shaking emperor of Da Chu, the heaven-swallowing holy lord of Tian Ting, reduced to a da huang gou. If word got out, his glorious reputation would be ruined!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen shot a dark look at the young man in white. It was all because of this guy—why did he have to turn into a dog, dragging him into it too?

Compared to him, the young man in white was completely unfazed. He scratched his fur while glancing at Ye Chen and blinking. "Come on, tell your brother why those two Sheng are after you."

"You first—why are those two Zhun Sheng chasing you?" Ye Chen glanced back at him.

"I slept with their family's goddess." The young man in white said, while neatly grooming the tuft of fur on his head with his paw. Even as a dog, his demeanor was downright lecherous.

"Damn, I admire you." Ye Chen said with genuine respect.

"What about you? Why are they after you?"

"I slept with their family's godson."

"Wow!" The young man in white immediately clasped Ye Chen's paw with his own. "You're the man."

"Split up and search."

While the two were chatting, the fatty old man and his group had already dispersed. Gu Lan headed to another ancient city, and the two Zhun Sheng went off in different directions to other cities.

This ancient city was left with only the fatty old man, his sharp eyes scanning every inch of the ground.

Ye Chen stayed lying there, his dog eyes fixed on the storage bag at the fatty old man's waist—that was his own storage bag, stuffed with treasures.

Thankfully, the Chaos Divine Cauldron was still in his divine sea; otherwise, he'd be in real trouble.

Though Ye Chen really wanted to rush out and snatch it back, the fatty old man was stronger than the Bloodthirsty Old Demon, and with Gu Lan nearby in the ancient city, it would be a two-against-one fight. He'd clearly be outmatched, and one misstep could get him suppressed again.

What a headache!

Ye Chen scratched his head, frustrated that he couldn't use the Heavenly Dao—it was tying his hands everywhere.

The young man in white remained as cool as ever, casually scratching his fur with that shameless air, making Ye Chen's paws itch to give him a beating. If not for the fatty old man and the others being around, he probably would have.

Woof!

As the two lay there, a big black dog ran over, glaring at them angrily.

Beside the big black dog was a sleek big white dog—they seemed to be a dog couple. The reason for the glare was that these two had taken over their territory.

The young man in white stroked his chin and threw a flirtatious look at Ye Chen. "How about we take that female dog?"

"There's crap over there—want to eat it?"

"Don't mess around, I'm serious."

"Get lost."
