Chapter 22 Escape from Death
"Brother, what's wrong?"

Two younger men and women immediately followed his gaze, looking a little surprised.

Chai Xin had already guessed the identities of the three people. They must be Jiang Yifei, Jiang Yichen, and Jiang Caixuan.

The three of them appeared here to look for Jiang Zhe, a strong man from the Jiang family, but in the end they only found Jiang Zhe's descendants.

"As expected of the guy who overpowers the divine body in the original novel and achieves enlightenment in a different way in the later period, Jiang Yifei has such a keen spiritual perception!"

He felt something was wrong, but he showed no emotion, like an ordinary timid teenager. He looked at the knights timidly, as if he was frightened and wanted to retreat.

"He's just an ordinary country boy!" Jiang Yichen showed disdain upon seeing this.

Jiang Caixuan also shook her head, a hint of confusion flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Jiang Yifei did not respond, but shook his head, still staring at Chai Xin.

"Why does this strange boy make me feel so strangely familiar?"

He was very suspicious in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it. His good upbringing made him quickly regain his usual calmness.

"You stay here to take care of Uncle and Tingting. I'll be back soon."

Jiang Yifei stopped the people behind him and walked towards Chai Xin alone.

It was not until this time that Ye Fan shifted his attention away from Jiang Tingting and turned to look at Chai Xin. After being stunned for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, he also recognized Chai Xin, but out of consideration for the people from the Jiang family around him, he also chose to remain silent for the time being.

He had already realized that Jiang Yichen had bad intentions and might very likely attack him, so he naturally didn't want to involve Chai Xin.

"Little brother, what's your last name? What's your name?" Jiang Yifei walked up to Chai Xin with a smile on his face and a very kind tone.

Chai Xin was a little surprised. Why would the other party suddenly come over and ask such a question? Could it be that he was obsessed with finding his relatives?

"My last name is Chai Xin."

He didn't lie because there was no need to.

He came from the other side of the starry sky. Except for Ye Fan and other classmates, no one knew his true identity, so it was meaningless to make up a fake name.

What's more, the person in front of him was obviously a shrewd person. If he lied hastily, he would probably be discovered immediately and would arouse suspicion.

"Chai?"

Jiang Yifei frowned. He could hear that Chai Xin's heartbeat and breathing were normal, without any disorder, so he must be telling the truth.

"Sorry for disturbing you!"

After a brief moment of surprise, he clasped his fists slightly and then retreated back into the crowd.

"Brother Ye, if you change your mind in the future, my Jiang family still welcomes you to join."

"Tingting, come back with us and practice hard. Your big brother may need your help in the future!"

In the end, everyone in the Jiang family left with Jiang Tingting and her grandchildren.

Chai Xin and Ye Fan looked at each other, said nothing, and went in each direction.

A quarter of an hour later, twenty miles south of Qingfeng Town.

"Ye Zi, why are you here?"

"Chaihuo, why are you here?"

The two met in a dense forest. It turned out that they had silently gestured to each other and agreed to meet in the south.

"It's a long story!"

Ye Fan told the story of how he and Pangbo encountered the Demon Emperor's tomb, and Pangbo was possessed by a mysterious being. He was unable to rescue him and could only flee for the time being.

Chai Xin told the truth about the treasure map.

"How could there be such a coincidence in the world!"

After hearing what happened, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Now that you and I have met again, we can go treasure hunting together. Perhaps we can gain something that can help you in your cultivation."

"Let's discuss this matter later. I have a bad feeling that I'm afraid that the kid from the Jiang family has targeted me. You should leave quickly. If I'm safe in the future, I'll go to Jinxia Cave to find you!" When Ye Fan heard that Chai Xin wanted to take him treasure hunting, his heart warmed up, and he didn't want to implicate him.

"How can you say such a thing? If it were Pangbo, he would definitely beat you up!"

Chai Xin had never thought of abandoning Ye Fan, and now after hearing what he said, he would not choose to leave.

"Firewood, don't be stubborn. There's no need to do unnecessary things..."

Just when Ye Fan was anxious, suddenly there was a terrifying roar of a wild beast, like thunder breaking through the sky, rolling in!

"It's in the direction of Qingfeng Town! Stop talking nonsense. It's too late for me to run now. Let's hide quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, Chai Xin grabbed Ye Fan's arm and dragged him towards a dense bush not far away.

"Whatever, at worst we can die together!"

Ye Fan no longer hesitated. He felt his chest was filled with warm blood, and most of the depression he had been feeling during this period was dissipated.

Just a few breaths after the two men rolled into the grass, they saw a wild beast covered with green scales appear above the dense forest, flying past with a knight on its back.

They held their breath and even suppressed their heartbeats to the lowest level, like two pieces of dead wood.

The Jiang family knight has at least reached the Divine Bridge realm. Even if the two of them join forces, they will not be able to contend with him and will only end up dead.

A moment later, the powerful knight rode the beast back and hovered over the nearby mountains and forests, seeming to have locked onto this area.

More than two hours passed, night gradually fell, and the green beast in the sky went away and gradually disappeared into the horizon.

"Damn you Jiang Yichen, one day I will kill you, even the ancient family can't protect you!"

Ye Fan gnashed his teeth in hatred, his eyes spitting fire.

"There's a river not far to the southeast, let's go!"

Chai Xin had read the original novel and knew that the knight would not give up so easily, so he quickly grabbed Ye Fan and ran away.

Fortunately, the treasure map in his hand depicted the mountains and rivers within a radius of hundreds of miles, otherwise the difficulty of escape would be greatly increased.

"You're right, that guy might come back!"

The two men ran wildly along the ground, and after running about seven or eight miles, they suddenly saw a river about twenty to thirty meters wide rushing through the forest.

Without hesitation, the two men hugged a piece of dead wood three or four meters long and jumped into the water resolutely.

"With the water flow covering up the breath and heartbeat, it should be able to avoid the perception of the Jiang family knights to a large extent."

This was Chai Xin's idea, and Ye Fan also thought it made sense. It was more reliable to go downstream than to lie there or run around in the dense forest.

After all, both of them had entered the realm of spiritual practice. Even though the water was flowing rapidly, they were still able to hold on to the dead tree firmly and hide their bodies completely underwater without revealing any part of them.

It would only open its nose to breathe once every hour. With the speed of the water, one breath was enough to allow it to escape over a hundred miles away.

The two stayed under the water for seven or eight hours, drifting thousands of miles before they dared to go ashore again.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

The two men were lying in the mud on the river bank, gasping for breath. The fishy and pungent smell of the river mud seemed particularly fragrant at this moment.

Holding their breath for such a long time, even if they took a breath occasionally, would probably have damaged their organs if they were not in excellent physical condition.

“It feels good to be alive.”

Chai Xin's face was covered in mud and gravel, but he grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"God will not kill me!"

Ye Fan wasn't in much better condition either, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Let's go find a popular city and hide there for ten days or half a month. I don't believe that knight can find us!"

The two of them simply washed themselves, took out two sets of clothes of different styles and changed into them, then left the place.
