Behind them, a woman in a red dress and a man in silver brocade clothes followed closely behind them. The four of them had different Spirit Treasures under their feet, the blue figure was wielding a sword, the woman was stepping on a red silk ribbon, and the man in silver brocade clothes was riding a fan. If someone recognized them, they would recognize that these four people were Han Xiao's group.

"Ah ~ ~ Your Highness, can you not fly so fast? We still have plenty of time." Lil 'Lei said with his eyes closed as he tightly held onto Han Xiao's clothes.

Although Little Lei Zi had also made some progress recently, she was still unable to break through to the Awakening Realm, so she was still unable to fly.

"Little Lei Zi is the youngest. In my opinion, even if you break through to the Spirit Condensation realm in the future, you won't be able to fly." Xiao Ke Er said with a smile.

"Hmph, you and Xiao Beizi can only fly with the help of a Spirit Treasure. Otherwise, how could you, with your late stage Soul Formation cultivation, fly in the air and laugh at me?" Little Lei Zi said unhappily.

Little Lei Zi and Xiao Ke Er had become very familiar with each other during their time in the Yun Ming Empire, and they would often talk in a manner that did not differentiate between nobility.

"It's true that we borrowed your Soul Depth, but we didn't scream like you did. I estimate that you could even hear your screams from five kilometers away." Xiao Ke Er said complacently.

"You, hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore." Little Lei Zi said angrily.

Seeing Little Lei Zi's childish side, Han Xiao felt a wave of helplessness as he said to Xiao Ke'er, "Ke Er, you and Xiao Mo need to be careful. After all, you two aren't able to fly by solely relying on your own cultivation."

"I know." Xiao Ke Er said with a smile.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Ke Er was clearly more lively than before, and her attitude towards Han Xiao slowly improved. At the very least, she didn't complain or ignore him like she did when she saw Han Xiao in the palace.

Another mountain peak flew past. When Han Xiao saw the fatigue on Xiao Ke Er and Xiao Moke's faces, he slowed down and said, "You guys are tired too. Let's find a place to rest first and continue our journey later." After he finished speaking, Han Xiao steered the Solitary Falcon's sword to descend onto the ground, and Xiao Ke Er and Xiao Mo Ke followed Han Xiao to descend onto the ground as well.

After landing on the ground, Han Xiao had the time to take a good look at his surroundings. When they landed in the forest, every tree was over five meters tall, and the thick trunk required at least two people to carry it. Because the dense foliage blocked the sunlight, the forest seemed very dark, even if it was daytime, it still looked like it was night.

"Han Xiao, this place is really dark. Use the fire attribute Origin Energy to ignite it." Xiao Ke Er found a place to sit and said.

"Fine." Looking around him, it was indeed too dark. Han Xiao reached out his hand and jumped around the center of his palm with a ball of flame. Carefully holding the flame in his palm, he slowly placed it on top of the tree branch that Xiao Mo Ke had picked up.

"Whoa." Although the fire was not that big, it was enough to illuminate the area.

"Eh, I clearly remembered that she was with me, why did she disappear?" Little Lei Zi said as he looked down and rummaged through his bag.

"Little Lei Zi, what are you looking for?" Han Xiao saw Little Lei Zi ask while rummaging.

"I was looking for dried fish. I clearly remembered to bring it with me." Little Lei Zi said.

"Dried fish." Hearing Little Lei Zi's answer, Han Xiao's lips twitched. He had initially wondered why Little Lei brought a bag with him, but now it seemed like the bag was filled with Little Lei Zi's food.

"Yes, it's dried fish. I think if we can't find a place to live on the way, we should take it out to eat. However, it's all because of your sudden request to leave, causing me to be unable to properly organize my things." Little Lei Zi continued to say.

"If I say that I want to set off, didn't royal father say that you had to leave?" Han Xiao asked.

"Your royal father sent someone to tell us that you planned to set off half a day earlier, that's why we packed our things. Han Xiao, didn't you say that?" Shomoka asked.

"Of course not, I was called out by royal father to have lunch. royal father told me to leave immediately." Initially, he didn't think too much about it, but now that he thought about it, the day he left was indeed very strange. He had clearly just been conferred the title of Crown Prince, yet before he could even change into Han Xiangtian's imperial court uniform, he actually allowed him to leave.

Thinking this way, Han Xiao suddenly stood up and said to Xiao Ke Er and Xiao Moke, "Ke Er, Xiao Moke, I'm worried that something might have happened to royal father. I wish to return to the Cloud Ming Empire first, you guys can go and find Xi Yun."

"Han Xiao, since you want to go back, we'll go back with you." Shomoku also stood up and said.

"This won't do. All of you are not members of the Yun Ming Empire after all. If something really happens, you should not be involved." With that, Han Xiao pulled Little Lei, who was still looking for something with his head lowered, with the Eagle Peak Sword on his back, turned around and flew towards the direction of the Yun Ming Empire.

Because he was worried about Han Xiangtian, Han Xiao was even faster than he was when he arrived, and this made Little Lei Zi scream even louder.

After running for a whole day, Han Xiao felt the Origin Energy in his body had been greatly depleted. Just as he was about to find a place to rest, he suddenly saw a few figures flying over to them.

"Cheng Kang." When Han Xiao saw Cheng Kang and his group of four, he couldn't help but be on guard.

"Hahaha, Han Xiao, we were chasing after you, but I didn't think you would actually send yourself right to our doorstep. You really don't want to go to heaven, hell has no door, but you did." Seeing Han Xiao and Little Lei Zi, Cheng Kang was shocked for a moment before he smiled proudly.

Hearing Cheng Kang say that he was here to chase him, Han Xiao's eyes flashed with a dark light as he said, "Cheng Kang, don't forget that I'm a high level student of the Abyss Level Academy. If you attack me, your Demon Shadow Sect will not have a good ending."

"As long as no one knows that we were the ones who killed you. Han Xiao, we also don't want to be enemies with you, but who told you to obstruct Han Zhao's path? Even Han Xiangtian, Han Zhao, ruthlessly poisoned him, not to mention the fact that he has always hated you." Cheng Kang said.

"What happened to my royal father?" Han Xiao hurriedly asked when he heard that Han Xiangtian had been poisoned.

"Nothing much, he's just been locked up by us. But, you can be assured that he'll be able to accompany you soon." After saying this, Kang directly waved his hand above Han Xiao's head and four streaks of silver lightning descended.

Using the Eagle Sword to dodge to the side, Han Xiao took Little Lei Zi and flew down to the ground. Cheng Kang was only at the initial Spirit Severing stage, and could already fly, and the only one who would suffer a loss in the air was himself.

Seeing Han Xiao and Little Lei Zi rushing towards the ground, Cheng Kang did not hesitate and brought Luo Hou and the other two along to chase them.

He landed on the ground and wielded the Eagle Peak Sword in his hand towards Cheng Kang and the other three. Han Xiao immediately brandished the sword and said, "Break through the air." A black crescent sword light shot towards the four of them, and Cheng Kang turned around to avoid the sword light as a cold smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to step forward, he saw two more sword lights cutting down the tree in front of him, blocking his path.

"Chase!" Seeing Han Xiao running away, Cheng Kang didn't hesitate to bring Luo Hou and the other two to chase after him.

"Bang!"

"Clang clang!"

"Bam."

Intense sounds of fighting came from the depths of the forest, as a tree slowly fell down, Han Xiao and Little Lei Zi's figures slowly appeared, behind them were Cheng Kang and the other three people who were chasing closely.

"Damn it." Han Xiao could feel the killing intent from Cheng Kang and the other three. Although he had broken through to the mid stage of Soul Transformation, he still had some confidence in facing two late stage Soul Transformation cultivators, but facing two early stage Soul Transformation cultivators and not having the confidence to kill him.

Along the way, although he had managed to dodge many attacks, it had consumed a lot of his charismatic energy, and his left arm had been injured by Luo Hou's sneak attack. Now, the situation was not looking good for him, and other than running around with Little Lei Zi, he had no other choice.

"Crown Prince, run first. Let me cover your back." Little Lei Zi saw that Cheng Kang and the other three had caught up to him once again and said.

"Even if your cultivation is at the middle stage of the Sword God Stage, you would still be killed by them in one move." Hearing Han Xiao's words, Little Lei Zi's face changed as a hint of bitterness flashed across his eyes.

"Bam." A streak of silver lightning directly struck the road in front of Han Xiao, leaving behind a crack on the ground.

Taking a step back, Han Xiao felt something shiver behind him. He turned around and saw a silver long sword holding a sky full of stars as it stabbed at him.

Han Xiao turned around and took two steps back to avoid Fu Tai's attack. At the same time, Han Xiao threw the Eagle Peak Sword in Fu Tai's direction.

"Extreme Ice World." Luo Hou's voice sounded, and Han Xiao immediately felt the temperature around him drop to freezing point. Just when he wanted to raise his foot and find himself frozen from the knees down, Little Lei Zi's entire lower body was frozen.

"Spirit Fire." Han Xiao gave a low growl as large amounts of golden flames burned on the surface of his body. The flames melted the ice all over his and Little Lei Zi's body, and after summoning the Holy Spirit Fire, Han Xiao felt that the energy in his body had been reduced by more than half.

And at this time, a long spear was directly thrusted towards Han Xiao. Han Xiao immediately wrapped the Spirit Fire around his hand and extended his hand out to grab the long spear, but as he held the spear, he suddenly felt a sense of unease.

"Crown Prince, be careful! Bang!" Before Han Xiao could react, he was sent flying three meters back by the explosive force. When he turned around, he saw Little Lei Zi lying where he was just standing, his entire body was covered in blood, and large amounts of blood gushed out from his body, dyeing the ground red.

"Little Lei Zi." Han Xiao did not care about the rest and quickly walked to Little Lei Zi's side. He reached out his hands to help Little Lei Zi up, but did not know how.

"Crown Prince, Little Lei Zi finally did one thing for you, right? Can you stop hitting Little Lei Zi's head on this account? If you do that, you'll really be dumb." Little Lei Zi said with difficulty.

"Lil 'Lei-zi, I promise not to hit your head, so don't talk for now." Han Xiao said.

"Crown Prince, are you worried about Little Lei Zi? "Crown Prince, you look really good when you smile, but I don't understand why Crown Prince, you are clearly a good person, yet you want to go against your own will and do those things. You are clearly a good person, you understand …" Xiao Lei Zi seemed to want to continue speaking, but he couldn't say anything more, his eyes just stared at Han Xiao, as if he was still questioning Han Xiao, waiting for the answer Han Xiao gave him.
