"Hehe, little lord, you're right. But don't worry, I have calculated the time. When we reach the Dai Family's territory, it will be the day of that old thing's sacrifice." The old witch had a faint smile on her face as she finished her last sentence. Immediately, a thick malevolent aura surrounded her body.

"Hmph."

Cheng Chen angrily turned her head to the side. She only wanted to break away from the old witch as soon as possible. Seeing her made her feel disgusted. She had had enough of this kind of situation.

"Since young master is not satisfied, we will speed up tomorrow."

With that, the old witch smiled sinisterly. Her cold gaze stopped on Lin Qi and Cheng Chen for a moment before she turned around and walked off into the distance.

"Big brother Lin Xing, now that we are under the control of the old witch, she is ruthless and merciless. Once we arrive at the Dai Family, we no longer have any value to her, there is no guarantee that she will be able to do anything."

Cheng Chen moved her delicate body closer to Lin Qi, looking at the old witch in the distance as she spoke in a hushed tone.

Lin Qi also raised his head slightly and narrowed his eyes. He looked at the old witch and replied, "An Xin, leave everything to me."

Hearing that, Cheng Chen frowned and couldn't help but to re-evaluate this new little brother of hers.

In fact, up till now, Lin Xing had been very calm and collected, as if nothing could shock him.

Hearing these words again, Cheng Chen could not help but feel greatly encouraged. She also smiled and nodded her head. She had an inexplicable sense of confidence in Lin Xing.

"By the way, Little Sister Cheng Chen, according to what you said, you have a high position in the Cheng family. Now that you're missing, the Cheng family will definitely send out experts to find you. Why don't you leave a trail for them?" Lin Xing looked at her.

Cheng Chen shook her head in distress, "I won't hide this from Big Brother Lin Xing. I've tried this method before, but that old witch has always been hiding in our Cheng family as an ordinary slave, so she knows all about the Cheng family's hidden secrets. It won't work."

"Alright, I'll keep it for you."

Lin Qi picked up a tree branch and carved a character of "Cheng" on the ground. In the next moment, it disappeared, and the ground returned to normal.

"Can this work?" Cheng Chen looked at the old witch in the distance and asked her cautiously.

"Don't worry, she won't find out," Lin Qi said with a smile.

He had used a celestial spell to carve out the character 'Cheng'. With the immortal's various methods of escape, no matter how strong the old witch was, she might not be able to find it.

In these six days, Lin Xin had been continuously healing his wounds. Now that he had recovered about fifty to sixty percent, he had some skill. If he was able to recover to his peak state now, at such a long distance, he would have the confidence to bring Cheng Chen along and make sure that the old witch would not be able to catch up.

As the moon rose, another night quietly went by.

At dawn, the eastern horizon was as red as blood. Floating in the sky was a large cloud of fire. The bright sunlight was blocked, and it still hadn't completely shone onto the vast earth.

In the vast wilderness, it was completely silent. There were no sounds or chirps.

The old witch ordered everyone to hurry on, and just as she had said yesterday, she purposely sped up.

Lin Xing supported Cheng Chen into the carriage, while he chose to walk on the ground just like those guards with sabers. He stepped on the fallen leaves, one step at a time.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, under the old witch's lead, they finally stepped into the Dai Family's territory.

"Show the flag!" The old witch ordered.

A guard with a saber did as he was told. He took out a five-meter-long banner from his soul hole and held it in his hand. Even from afar, one could see the word "Cheng" drawn on it.

As they arrived, more and more pedestrians began to appear. Once the Cheng Family's banner was revealed, it naturally attracted the attention of most passersby.

The Cheng family was a noble family with eight hundred thousand li of territory. They were rather famous in the Heaven's End. When many people saw the flag, they were confused as to why the Cheng family had come to greet them at the same time.

When they found out that the person in the carriage was Cheng Chen, they immediately started to show their respect. They were all here to pay their respects to the Dai Family's Patriarch. In order to flatter Cheng Chen, they even took out the birthday presents they prepared beforehand.

How could the old witch have the time to care about these annoying flies? The word "scram" caused the hearts of everyone to break down.

"Celestial Realm!"

Lin Xing then smiled at the old witch and said, "You are too ignorant, even your age is unknown."

"Hmm? "You're courting death!"

The old witch flew into a rage. With a thought, the green liquid that Lin Qi drank from his body began to stir crazily, as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at his internal organs.

Lin Qi's expression was miserable as he screamed out in pain.

"Stop it, old witch. If you dare kill him, I'll immediately commit suicide for you to see." Cheng Chen heard the commotion and immediately walked out of the carriage, pointing at the old witch and shouting.

The old witch did not budge, but sneered coldly as she stared at Lin Qi, her killing intent exuding endlessly.
