Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 798
Chapter 798: Escape For ‘Now’ Chapter 798: Escape For ‘Now’ He had seen the Ji Emperor (albeit with a different appearance) at the royal wedding of Ji Fulin and Di Xiuyu but remained unaware that Shen Xian shared that identity, being the Emperor of the Ji Clan in the Aquarius Empire. He also did not know that the Ji Emperor who had been slapped by Shenlian Yingyue in the palace was the same as the Demon Emperor.
Shenlian Yingyue was left speechless.
Just as she thought, he was blaming her for everything.
She hadn’t actually done anything wrong!
It was Shen Xian who had instigated everything out of jealousy over her bond with Tai Hua Lei, provoking her at Golden Candle City in the Inner Domain (Ch.
427) and pursuing her relentlessly ever since.
“Come with me,” Dongfang Moqing said, taking hold of her wrist.
She instinctively flinched and attempted to free herself, but he tightened his grip.
This left them in a rather precarious position.
Tuzi AoFen grasped her right wrist while Dongfang Moqing held on to her left.
Shenlian Yingyue internally sighed, feeling overwhelmed. “I can’t just go with you-not when my uncle has made it clear that angering the Demon Emperor will only lead to destruction,” she protested, shaking her head.
If Shen Xian wanted to capture her, it would be as effortless as stepping onto the grass.
She had tried to escape from him, but she failed.
She even considered hiding in her Ethereal Small World to escape from him, but quickly dismissed the idea.
She wouldn’t risk revealing the amazing Ethereal Small World she had obtained through a soul contract with Xiao Yun.
Besides, how long could she really hide?
Sooner or later, she would have to come out and face reality.
“So what’s your plan?
Are you just going to stand there and let him come for you?” Dongfang Moqing’s sharp gaze pierced through her silence, eagerly waiting for her answer.
“Xiao Yueyue, trust A’Ying, okay?
You should let him handle everything here and come with me first,” Tuzi AoFen urged her to leave with him. He specifically said ‘me’ instead of ‘us’, making it clear he didn’t want her going with Dongfang Moqing or anyone else but him.
Shenlian Yingyue felt torn inside.
She wanted to protect everyone.
Knowing Shen Xian’s ruthless nature, he would eliminate anyone who dared to oppose him.
Just like how he had mercilessly banished Shenlian Wanyan, Helan Yuze, and others to different dimensions to warn her against provoking him.
That had been her first warning.
Clenching her fists tightly, she looked at her uncle, who studied her with a complex expression before disappearing into the Ethereal Small World, leaving her caught between Tuzi AoFen and Dongfang Moqing.
“Xiao Yueyue, there’s no time to hesitate,” Tuzi AoFen’s gentle look turned stern.
He tightened his grip on her wrist, but it was firm, not painful.
“Let’s go…” She nodded firmly, whispering something under her breath.

When she finished, she and the others found themselves in an unfamiliar place.
Tuzi AoFen, Huang Bai Xing, and Dongfang Moqing were stunned by her power.
Despite her young age, she could master such a strong teleportation skill without any scrolls for help?
The trio left everything behind, unaware that the moment they vanished, Shen Xian’s expression darkened with malice.
Xiong Zi Ying felt a surge of unease at Shen Xian’s unreadable look.
He vowed to do everything in his power to keep Shen Xian from pursuing them.
—————– “Where exactly are we, Fen Fen?” Shenlian Yingyue inquired as the group ventured into an unfamiliar forest under Tuzi AoFen’s guidance. The forest was a dense thicket of bizarre flora, with cascading waterfalls and shimmering ponds, teeming with perilous beasts.
She didn’t see the perilous beasts but she and everyone could sense their presences. They were surrounded by an atmosphere charged with danger, and Tuzi AoFen seemed particularly confident that no demons could penetrate this eerie place.
“This forest is infamous for being one of the most perilous areas in the entire Rainrealm Continent,” Tuzi AoFen began, gesturing around them.
“Numerous adventurers and cultivators have entered, but none have ever returned.
Their fateful tales echo through time.” Everyone fell silent, exchanging worried glances.
“Fen Fen, could you enlighten us on why we’ve ventured into a place like this?” Shenlian Yingyue’s eyelid twitched, anxiety gnawing at her.
She didn’t believe she was more capable than anyone else when it came to surviving this treacherous place.
Curiously, she wondered how Fen Fen had knowledge of this forest, given that he’d spent most of his time in isolation on the forbidden mountain of Peach Blossom Peak, seeking to stabilize his condition.
“Ah, I see the questions brewing in your mind,” Tuzi AoFen said softly, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he noticed her bewilderment.
“Fifty years ago, a bloodied man crawled out of this very forest.
He spoke of a nightmarish creature that lurked within, a shadow that haunted his days and nights ever since.” Shenlian Yingyue was left speechless, her mind racing.
She had intended to find a way to teleport everyone to safety before planning to check on her master and ensure he remained safe as he faced Shen Xian. “Xiao Yueyue, I know you’re plotting to escape on your own, to shoulder the burden while ensuring our safety.
That’s exactly why A’Ying discreetly communicated with me, urging me to bring you here, to prevent you from escaping without my guidance,” he continued, gently taking her hand, blocking her path to Dongfang Moqing.
Dongfang Moqing, adjusting his glasses with a raised eyebrow, chose to remain silent, his attention drawn to the surroundings.
Meanwhile, Huang Bai Xing heightened his awareness, scanning the dense shadows that surrounded them “Will the master be okay facing the Demon Emperor?” Her expression was marked by anxiety and conflict.
She felt an urge to rush to his side, yet she couldn’t shake off the realization that Fen Fen wasn’t kidding about this forest; without his guidance, she was trapped here. Tuzi AoFen’s eyes sparkled with light as he felt a swell of gratitude.
He was relieved that the long-standing feud between her clan and the Xiong clan hadn’t tarnished her feelings for A’Ying or diminished her compassionate nature when it came to the welfare of others.
Despite the chance to abandon Xiong Zi Ying to the whims of the Demon Emperor-an escape that would free her from future worries about her father-she remained deeply concerned for his safety.
