Having killed Perfected Aozhe, the Illusionary Palm flicked a finger, and a voice filled with contempt from the True Realm powerhouse echoed in the void.
Immediately after, the Illusionary Palm tore through space once more to chase in the direction where Xiao Mu and Stone Soul were escaping.
"Mr. Xiao, that way."
Stone Soul guided Xiao Mu, who was driving the Fire Dragon Vehicle, as he channeled endless Dao Method Spiritual Energy through the soles of his feet into the Fire Dragon Vehicle.
Xiao Mu had pushed the speed of the Fire Dragon Vehicle to its limit, speeding away frantically towards the direction of the entrance.
Yet they had barely escaped when they heard the rippling sound from the void, and the Illusionary Palm had caught up again.
"Ah~"
Stone Soul cried out in surprise. The Illusionary Palm had caught up so quickly.
He was simply desperate. With their strength, there was no way they could escape from a True Realm powerhouse.
Despite the fact that the opponent had not really descended, nor did he reveal any part of his arm, his assault merely conjured an illusory arm.
"Mr. Xiao, it might be better to leave me and escape yourself. You would have a higher chance of survival if you escape alone,"
Stone Soul shouted, urging Xiao Mu to ditch him and escape alone.
Indeed, the presence of an extra person did affect the speed of the Fire Dragon Vehicle.
"Less nonsense! Guide the way!"
Xiao Mu gritted his teeth and channeled all his True Qi from the soles of his feet into the Fire Dragon Vehicle.
The speed of the Fire Dragon Vehicle suddenly increased, but Xiao Mu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
In order to escape from the powerhouse of the True Realm, he took desperate measures, heavily overdrawn his body's Dao Method Spiritual Energy.
A chill went down Stone Soul's heart and he stopped speaking. However, he felt deeply grateful for Xiao Mu.
"He he! Think you can escape?"
The voice of the True Realm powerhouse once again echoed from the void. The Illusionary Palm emitted brilliance, its power doubled, tearing through space at an even faster speed to chase after Xiao Mu.
The Illusionary Palm moved incredibly fast. In an instant, it surpassed the Fire Dragon Vehicle, got in front of Xiao Mu, and turned back to intercept.
Spurt!
Xiao Mu violently spat out a mouthful of blood. He roared and once again overdrawn his body, channeled the surging Dao Method Spiritual Energy from his feet into the Fire Dragon Vehicle, and drove the Fire Dragon Vehicle to evade to the left front.
"Ha ha!"
The True Realm powerhouse sneered in contempt. The Illusionary Palm turned its direction and intercepted Xiao Mu once again.
"You lowly ants, think you can escape from me?"
The voice of the True Realm powerhouse was extremely cold, like a lofty god, announcing the death of a mortal, emotionless, "Die!"
As the word 'Die' echoed, the palm descended. It intended to grip both the Fire Dragon Vehicle and Xiao Mu and Stone Soul within, squashing them to death like it had killed Perfected Aozhe.
Stone Soul closed his eyes, despairing.
In his view, they were undoubtedly going to die. There was no chance of survival.
Just as the palm was about to hit, Xiao Mu shouted out, "Wait, I can lead you into the Qin Emperor Mausoleum."
In truth, Xiao Mu was just talking without thinking. He was unsure if his words would hold any sway.
He mentioned the Qin Emperor Mausoleum because Qing Yan Monk had once told him that after the World Mutation, some prominent ruins in the Human World had been closed.
These included the Qin Emperor Mausoleum, the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum, Xuanyuan Tomb and more.
According to the Qing Yan Monk, these ruins, the more ancient and symbolically significant they were, the more terrifying they became after the mutation.
After the Qin Emperor Mausoleum was closed, even the strongest of the Fifth Realm could not enter.
The previously emerged Putuo Temple was incomparable to the existence of Qin Emperor Mausoleum. The mighty power in the temple could even prevent the entry of powerhouses of the Fifth Realm and even injure them.
Although Xiao Mu didn't know why the powerhouse of the True Realm entered this world, he believed that the Ancient Ruins of this world must have some attraction for them.
Otherwise, why would these powerhouses even need to enter the Mortal Realm?
The Illusionary Palm suddenly stopped. The True Realm powerhouse in the Dimensional Space seemed to be in deep thought. After a while, a disdainful voice echoed out with a sneer, "You lowly ant, how can you lead me into the Qin Emperor Mausoleum?"
"Moreover, since your world mutated, the Qin Emperor Mausoleum has been completely closed off. Unless the world evolves again, it will not open,"
Obviously, the strong man of the True Realm did not believe Xiao Mu's words, but he did not act rashly.
Xiao Mu's heart was racing; he suspected it must be beating at least three hundred times per minute.
He had made that claim expecting to die, but to his surprise, the True Realm expert seemed to believe him.
Apparently, since the World Mutation, those old ruins in the human world have indeed changed massively.
Large-scale ancient relics such as the Qin Emperor Mausoleum have a great allure for strong beings of the True Realm.
Stone Soul, who had been resigned to his fate, suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Xiao Mu in disbelief.
He couldn't believe that Xiao Mu had successfully deterred the True Realm expert with just a few words, making him temporarily hold back from killing them.
Despite this, he dared not speak and simply watched Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu was extremely nervous internally, but tried hard to appear calm, "I was born and raised in the Mortal Realm, and am completely in tune with the Origin of This World."
"As outsiders, you will be rejected by the Origin of This World, and therefore cannot enter the Qin Emperor Mausoleum."
"But it's different for me. I am a human born and raised in this world, not rejected by the Origin of This World. If you don't kill us, I can lead you into the Qin Emperor Mausoleum."
The strong man of the True Realm hesitated, remaining silent for a while.
Xiao Mu's heart began to race with excitement. He felt confident that he must have touched a nerve with his words, otherwise, the True Realm expert would not be hesitating; he would have crushed him alive by now.
However, Xiao Mu was extremely anxious, fearful that the True Realm expert would disagree and kill him on the spot.
Despite this, he dared not press for an answer and forced himself to appear calm, waiting for the True Realm expert to respond.
After a while, the True Realm expert sneered derisively, saying slowly, "My existence is a secret. Due to the world's rejection, I can only manifest an Illusionary Arm."
"With the strength of this Illusionary Arm, I am not an adversary for the strongest beings in your world. Do you really think I will let you go and allow you to reveal my secret to your world's strongest beings?"
"Mutated Being of the Mortal Realm, you've overthought. I intend to kill you in order to keep this a secret."
Energy surged, causing the temperature around to plummet. A strong killing intent became apparent as the Illusionary Palm moved again, reaching out to grab Xiao Mu.
"Wait!"
Xiao Mu shouted, "I can make an oath. As long as you let us go, I guarantee I won't reveal your secret."
The Illusionary Palm hesitated. The True Realm expert was obviously hesitant again.
Xiao Mu seized the chance and called out, "In the Qin Emperor Mausoleum, there are twelve golden men, the Mountain and River Geography Map, the Imperial Jade Seal, a Bronze Cauldron, the Supreme Sword, and the Suihou Pearl. Each of them is a supreme treasure. Don't you want them? If you let us go, I will guide you to the Qin Emperor Mausoleum."
After finishing, Xiao Mu's mind was filled with extreme tension.
If he could not persuade the True Realm expert after going thus far, he would have run out of options.
But this time, the True Realm expert obviously seemed persuaded.
After a while, the True Realm expert spoke slowly, "I am giving you three minutes to escape. After three minutes, I will come to pursue and kill you."
"If you can escape to the dimensional space portal before I catch you, I will agree to your terms and spare you, at least temporarily, and you can guide me to the Qin Emperor Mausoleum."
"But if I catch up with you during this time, well..."
In the end, the True Realm expert merely chuckled, leaving his threat unfinished, although there was no need to expound further.
Xiao Mu's face changed, but his heart was filled with ecstatic joy.
Pretending to be furious, he gritted his teeth, "Three minutes? I hope you keep your words."
"For beings as insignificant as you, I have no need to deceive."
The True Realm expert expressed contempt. "You have two minutes and fifty seconds left, forty-nine seconds..."
"Go!"
Xiao Mu roared, and without wasting any more words, he drove the Fire Dragon Vehicle towards the exit with all his might.
His heart was filled with joy.
Earlier, he had not expected that the True Realm expert would propose such a condition.
His heart was full of surprise and delight, but he dared not reveal any of it on his face.
His desperate escape was all for this purpose.
As long as he could reach the entrance of the dimensional channel, he would have a method to deal with this True Realm expert, and even had more than a ninety percent chance of escaping.
