Cao Cao still didn't believe it. Firstly, he couldn't figure out the purpose of this Exalted Immortal's visit. Secondly, the assassination was extremely risky. Even if it failed, it was within his expectations. Perhaps the other party had made the right bet?
"You are very smart. Then, you should personally verify the next matter.”Li Xuanling smiled and spoke again before Cao Cao could react.
"On this trip, you will meet someone who is willing to help you and save you from danger. Later, at the home of your old friend, your old friend set up a banquet, sharpened his knife, and slaughtered pigs and sheep to entertain you. However, you thought that the other party wanted to kill you and then slaughtered his entire family. You even said,'I would rather let the world down than let the world down me'. This person who was willing to help you left in anger.”
When Cao Cao heard Li Xuanling's words, his first reaction was disbelief. He opened his mouth to retort. He would never do something so immoral.
However, after thinking about it, Cao Cao felt that human nature was unpredictable. If he really ended up being hunted down by the entire world, it would be normal for him to do anything.
"Whether you believe it or not, use your own eyes to see. If fate allows it, we can still meet again.”Li Xuanling looked at Cao Cao, who was deep in thought, and said this. Then, he took Diao Chan with him and rode the wind.
Cao Cao looked at the two of them disappearing into the horizon, his expression uncertain. It wasn't because the two of them were dashing or magical.
Since he had called her an Exalted Immortal, he had already regarded her as an immortal like the three immortals. The art of flying seemed to be a necessary skill for immortals.
What he could not accept was that his horse had run away! This also meant that he would have to rely on his two short legs to avoid the pursuers who might catch up with him at any time.
"Rather than waiting to die, it's better to fight to the death. It's better than being caught by Dong Zhuo and eaten with wine.”Cao Cao muttered, his face filled with determination as he jumped into the forest.
If they ran on the official road, they would definitely be captured. Only by hiding in the dense forest would they have a chance of survival.
"Did I forget something?”Li Xuanling flew in the air with Diao Chan. He had a puzzled expression on his face. After a long time, he remembered that Cao Heizi seemed to be traveling on his two legs.
The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before Li Xuanling tossed it to the back of his mind. Cao Cao carried a thick amount of luck with him, and he would definitely become one of the future overlords of the three kingdoms. How could he die so easily?
"Sir, where are we going?" Diao Chan couldn't help but ask as she watched Li Xuanling fly aimlessly.
"Where does Chan 'Er want to go?" Li Xuanling indeed didn't have a clear destination. He had come to the Three Kingdoms World and was unfamiliar with the place. He didn't know what famous rivers and scenic spots there were, nor did he know what secret springs there were.
The first thing he wanted to do was to bring Diao Chan around and increase his affinity points. The second was to take a look at this world and at least keep it in his pocket. If he didn't know anything, wouldn't that be a trap?
"Your servant? I don't have anywhere I want to go.”Diao Chan frowned slightly, her face filled with thoughts. After thinking for a while, she could not think of anything that she was fascinated by.
Her parents had passed away long ago, and her former residence had turned into ruins. Going back would only increase her sadness. As a woman, she didn't yearn for famous rivers and scenic spots.
"Alright, let's go wherever we go these few days.”Li Xuanling shook his head and chuckled. Then, he brought Diao Chan around the world.
****
Li Xuanling brought Diao Chan to tour the mountains and rivers. They lingered in famous towns and ancient cities, walked on the peaks of snowy mountains, and spent the night in waterside gardens. Beautiful women were by his side, singing songs to him from time to time. Those days were exceptionally happy.
However, while he was happy, Cao Cao suffered. For an entire month, he had been traveling through the mountains and forests, avoiding the pursuit of Dong Zhuo's subordinates.
When he was hungry, he could only eat wild fruits to satisfy his hunger. He did not dare to start a fire or slack off. In a month, he had lost 20 pounds! His skin, which had originally turned fair after consuming the Essence Cultivating Pill, turned pitch-black again.
His chin was unshaven, his body was as thin as a rib, his eyes were sunken, and the dark circles under his eyes were twice as big as his eyes! It was so close to being swallowed by the wolves, tigers, and leopards in the mountains.
"I…I'm out!" Cao Cao had an extremely weak expression on his face. He used his sword to support himself as he staggered out of the dense forest. His clothes had already turned into rags, and he was no better than a beggar by the roadside.
Looking at the small city in the distance, Cao Cao's face was covered in tears. In the beginning, he could still remember Li Xuanling's face when he descended from the sky and scared his horse away. His heart was filled with intense hatred.
Up until now, he only wanted to live!
The survival instinct of a human allowed him to survive several battles with ferocious beasts. He lived in the open and had no clothes to cover his body. Now, Cao Cao only had the strength to rejoice in his heart.
Resisting the urge to faint from exhaustion, Cao Cao pawned his sword at the pawnshop and rested in the inn for three whole days before he finally recovered from his weak state.
However, before Cao Cao could set off again, the county guards captured him. The sword that he had pawned had undoubtedly betrayed Cao Cao's identity.
Although Cao Cao had thought of this possibility before, he had no other choice. If he didn't do that, he would have been a smelly corpse by the roadside.
Just when Cao Cao thought that he would die for sure, he met the first person who dared to protect him in this small county called Zhongmu County. He secretly released him and left with him!
Chen Gong!
As he fled, Cao Cao followed his fate and arrived at the home of his old friend Lu Boshe. Seeing Lu Boshe welcoming him warmly, Cao Cao, who had been on the run for a long time, heaved a sigh of relief. They sat in the living room and celebrated with Chen Gong.
However, he didn't know that the turning point of his life had arrived. He would become rich and powerful and ascend to the throne. If he failed, he would probably die soon.
Since three days ago, Li Xuanling had been controlling the Jade Void Immortal Mansion in the sky, guiding Diao Chan's cultivation while keeping an eye on Cao Cao's movements.
Seeing that he had already entered Lu Boshe's house, he stood outside the Jade Void Immortal Mansion and used his spiritual will to sense everything that was happening below.
"Milord, has Cao Cao entered? Will he listen to your advice?" Diao Chan looked at the white clouds under her feet and shrunk her neck, taking a small step back. With her current cultivation, she was still thousands of miles away from riding the clouds.
"It's hard to say. I'm afraid that after this month of torment, it's unknown how much he can remember my words. However, meeting me is an opportunity and also a test, isn't it?”
