Meanwhile, under the mansion of the Luochen Clan there was a vast underground necropolis. In one part of the necropolis was a boiling blood lake, filled with countless floating skeletons.
The gleam of the spell formation could be seen all around, and countless members of the Luochen Clan prostrated themselves around the lake. There were men and women, young people and old people, who were all kneeling at the key nexus in the spell formation.
Very seriously one by one, they would split their right hand and squeeze blood into the nexus, which carried blood into the central lake.
In the middle of the blood lake, an old man sat cross-legged. Her hair was long and white, and she looked threatening without getting angry. With every breath he took, the blood lake bubbled.
Suddenly, the man's eyes opened, and they shone with the color of blood.
“What's going on!?” her question, her cold voice echoed throughout the cemetery.
One of the clan members closest to him was a young man, who looked exactly like the young man from above in the courtyard who tried to kill Bai Xiaochun and the others. He bowed and whispered, “Patriark, three disciples from the Spirit Flow Sect appeared. It happened so fast that I was not ready. I was worried that it would affect the larger task at hand, so my puppet body outside, along with the spell formation and the other puppets, tried to kill them. Unfortunately, I'm so useless, Senior. I only managed to kill one. The other two escaped, and they took the other disciple we captured last time with them. ”
The young man felt very discouraged. Normally, if a disciple of the Spirit Stream Sect were to disappear, it would take at least half a year before the sect officially declared them missing. Only then would another disciple be sent to investigate. Considering that, by the time such disciples arrived at the Fallenstar Mountains, at least nine months had passed.
However, only four months had passed, yet the disciple from the Spirit Flow Sect had arrived. It was not only this young man who was shocked. No one in the entire Luochen Clan could guess that the disappearance of an Outer Sect disciple was something to worry about. Logically speaking, no one should have been sent to investigate that quickly.
Moreover, if Hou Yunfei did not manage to uncover the secrets of the Luochen Clan, they would never catch him. According to their initial plan, they needed half a year to be completely prepared, then rise up and break free from the control of the Spirit Stream Sect!
However, that means they still take a month….
“Two Outer Sect disciples …? Hmph! The defensive spell formation has been activated. Seal the area and send people to track and kill them. We only need one more month.and then no one can stop us! ” The old man did not seem to worry at all about what had happened, and closed his eyes to continue meditating.
The young man sighed, lowering his head accordingly.
It didn't take long before seven figures emerged from within the Luochen Clan. The one who was in the leading position was the same young man, whose cultivation base was at the eighth level of Qi Condensation.
Of the other six, the weakest were at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, with two being at the seventh level.
“They won't be able to go far. Let's go!” Seven cultivators shot into the forest, his eyes shining with killing intent.
In the forest, Bai Xiaochun and Du Lingfei moved as quickly as possible while propping up Hou Yunfei. They tried to use their Windskiff, but it seemed that the same interference from the spell formation that made the transmission jade slip inoperable had the same effect on the ship.
The expressions on Bai Xiaochun and Du Lingfei's faces became increasingly dark.
Bai Xiaochun's face was pale, and the sensation of an imminent crisis within him couldn't be greater. Every inch of flesh and blood within him screamed at him to escape as fast as he could!
If he were to leave later, he would definitely die!
The sensation of danger was much greater than what he felt from Feng Yan. After all, even though Feng Yan had tried to kill him, he was nervous about it and tried to do it secretly.
Bai Xiaochun had known all along that as long as he was careful, he would most likely be able to avoid any moves Feng Yan made towards him, and might even be able to retaliate against him.
But now ...when he thought about the information they had, he trembled, and sweat started to drench his face. Considering that they knew about the betrayal of the Luochen Clan, it was clear that they would not hesitate to kill all of them.
They would definitely go to great lengths to ensure their silence.
Moreover, they would not attack secretly, they would attack like a bolt of lightning!
Nor would they give much time for them to go very far. In fact, there were almost certainly members of the Luochen Clan chasing after them.
“Damn you, Hall of Justice. This mission ... was not the type that the Outer Sect disciples could handle !! ” Then Bai Xiaochun remembered that the Luochen Clan had a Foundation Establishment Patriarch, and he started to tremble even harder.
“Foundation Foundation…. The difference between Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment was like the difference between mortal beings and being in Qi Condensation…. ” Bai Xiaochun was so nervous that his eyes were red.
“I practice cultivation... to live forever..” Bai Xiaochun wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He looked towards Hou Yunfei, and knew that he would never be able to leave him just to add speed. It was something he could never do.
Du Lingfei's face was pale; his cultivation base was the weakest of all, and his internal spiritual energy was recovering very slowly. The more time passed, the worse he felt about the situation.
He knew that they would almost certainly die. Perhaps someone at the seventh level of Qi Condensation might be able to fight back against the Patriarch of Foundation Establishment. But now, Feng Yan was already dead, and he was only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, with no hope of being able to break through to the next level any time soon. As for Bai Xiaochun. given how scared he was of death, Du Lingfei would never put hope on him.
“Junior Brother Bai, be sure to keep your internal spiritual energy high.”
Bai Xiaochun stared dumbstruckly at the medicine pill bottle, then opened it and consumed one of the pills. It was at this point that he suddenly recalled something, and took out two bottles of medicinal pills from Feng Yan's handbag.
“Sister Feng has some medicinal pills,” he said, handing one of the bottles over to Du Lingfei.
He accepted it silently, and the two of them continued on as quickly as possible. Shortly after, they returned to the location where they found Hou Yunfei's jade slip. When Du Lingfei saw the tree, he sighed inwardly.
Now, there was no point in having regrets, so without a word, they continued to accelerate. Gradually, Du Lingfei began to slow down, which made Bai Xiaochun even more nervous. Finally, he then grabbed his arm and pulled it, carrying Hou Yunfei at the same time.
Du Lingfei had long since realized that Bai Xiaochun was much faster than him. When he grabbed his arm, he almost pulled it, but when he saw the look of terror on his face, he sighed and let it pull him.
It was at this point that Hou Yunfei shivered, and his eyes slowly opened. He looks exhausted.
After assessing his current position, he bitterly laughed and said, “Young Brother Bai, I never thought that, after so many years, we would meet again like this.”
Seeing that Hou Yunfei was awake, Du Lingfei quickly offered him a medicinal pill.
Bai Xiaochun looked at Hou Yunfei and sighed. “Kakak Hou..
“There is still hope for us,” said Hou Yunfei. “For their own personal gain, the Luochen Clan slaughtered people from the mortal world, taking their blood and bones to use in spell formations. Their Foundation Formation Patriarch is currently leading the Great Blood Reverse Magic, so he cannot personally chase after us. Furthermore, the entire Luochen Clan maintained a spell formation. Therefore, they will not be able to send many people to chase after us! ”
Hou Yunfei smiled, took the medicinal pill from Du Lingfei, and swallowed it. Then, his eyes began to shine as he said, “Although we cannot get a message to the sect from this location, if we go far enough, we can definitely!
“Something big like this, the rebellion of the entire clan of cultivators, will definitely trigger a huge reaction from the sect!”
Thanks to the medicinal pills, he no longer needed the help of Bai Xiaochun, and began to accelerate his own strength.
Therefore, they managed to increase the speed. Immediately, the borders of the Falling Star Mountain Range became visible, and finally, they darted out into the open, where Du Lingfei took out a jade slip and tried to make contact with the sect. Moments later, his face was bleeding out, and he shook his head.
“Still not working..?” bai Xiaochun murmured, his heart pounding. Hou Yunfei just stood there silently.
None of them spoke any further as they continued sadly. It was at this point, suddenly, a whistling sound could be heard from behind them. Their faces fell as seven figures exploded from the trees not too far away.
The one leading was the young man at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, who looked at Bai Xiaochun and the others, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
“As I said, you.. can't go! Never forget that the person who killed you was named Chen Yue! Kill them!”
The members of the Luochen Clan immediately took out a magic device, and a cold light appeared in their eyes as they approached.
The faces of Bai Xiaochun, Du Lingfei, and Hou Yunfei flickered, and they gritted their teeth as they tried to add speed.
Chen Yue laughed coldly as she flicked her sleeves, causing a purple skull to appear. As it shot through the air, it chuckled, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost directly on Bai Xiaochun and the others. At that moment, Chen Yue waved her finger, and the skull exploded.
The resulting shockwave sent the three Spirit Stream Sect disciples spinning apart. Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei suddenly lost their momentum, and were almost instantly surrounded by members of the Luochen Clan.
Bai Xiaochun, however, continued to speed through. Previously, he had been somewhat restrained by the other two, but now that he was alone, he exploded with incredible speed, freeing the members of the Luochen Clan. It only took a moment for him to place tens of meters between them, and from his appearance, he had only just started to add speed.
Even Chen Yue, the only member of the Luochen Clan at the Eighth level of Qi Condensation, could do nothing but stare in shock.
“She's fast,” Chen Yue said coldly. “Kill these two first, then we'll catch up!” Waving his sleeves, he turned to Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei, killing intent seething.
Du Lingfei coughed a mouthful of blood. His body was already covered in blood; he was surrounded and convinced that he was going to die. As he watched Bai Xiaochun flee into the distance, he began to bitterly laugh.
He was well aware that Bai Xiaochun was afraid of death, so even though he wasn't too surprised, he couldn't help but feel bitter and hopeless.
“Junior Brother Bai, I hope you make it through...” he thought. At the same time, he performed a spell move, sending out a flying sword with the power of Lightness-in-Heaviness. Coughing more blood, he kept trying to defend himself.
Hou Yunfei also laughed bitterly, but his eyes shone with a cold light. He roared, and although his spiritual energy was mostly depleted, he was not prepared to give up just like that. Gritting his teeth, he prepared to bring a few enemies with him as he died, if only to buy some more time for Bai Xiaochun.
