The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 52: The Betrayal of Luochen

Meanwhile, beneath the Luochen Clan mansion was a vast underground necropolis. In one part of the necropolis was a boiling blood lake, filled with countless floating skeletons.

The sparkle of the spell formation could be seen surrounding the entire thing, and many members of the Luochen Clan were prostrating around the lake. There were men and women, young people and old people, who were all kneeling on the key nexus in the spell formation.

It was with great seriousness that one by one, they would slice 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 each breath he took, the blood lake bubbled.

Suddenly, the man's eyes opened, and they gleamed with a blood-colored light.

"What's going on!?" he demanded, his cold voice echoing throughout the necropolis.

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 Stream Sect appeared. It happened so fast that I was unprepared.I was worried that it would affect the larger task at hand, so my puppet body was outside, along with the formation of spells and other puppets, trying to kill them. Unfortunately ... I'm so useless, Senior. I only managed to kill one. The other two fled, 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 the other disciples be sent to investigate. Considering that, by the time those disciples arrived at the Fallenstar Mountains, at least nine months should have passed.

However, only four months had passed, yet the disciples of the Spirit Stream 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 a mere Outer Sect disciple was something to worry about. Logically speaking, no one should have been sent to investigate that quickly.

Furthermore, if Hou Yunfei did not manage to uncover the secrets of the Luochen Clan, they would never take him captive. According to their initial plan, they needed half a year to be fully prepared, then rise up and break free from the control of the Spirit Stream Sect!

However, that meant they still needed a month …

"Two Outer Sect disciples …? Hmph! The defensive spell formation has been activated. Seal that area and send people to track them down and kill them. We just need one more month .. and then no one can stop us! " The old man didn't seem to worry at all about what had happened, and closed his eyes to continue meditating.

The young man sighed, bowing his head obediently.

It didn't take long before seven figures appeared from within the Luochen Clan. The one 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.

"They won't be able to go far. Let's go!" The seven cultivators shot into the forest, eyes shining with killing intent.

In the forest, Bai Xiaochun and Du Lingfei moved as quickly as possible while simultaneously 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 unable to operate had the same effect on the ship.

The expressions on Bai Xiaochun and Du Lingfei's faces grew darker.

Bai Xiaochun's face was pale, and the impending sensation of crisis within him could not be greater. Every inch of flesh and blood within him shouted at him to escape as quickly as possible!

If he walked any slower, 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 for that long as he was careful, he would most likely be able to avoid whatever action Feng Yan took against him, and might even be able to retaliate against him.

But now ... once he thought of the information they had, he trembled, and sweat began 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 them all.

They would definitely try their hardest 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.

"Fuck you, Hall of Court. This mission ... was not the type that the disciples of the Outer Sect could handle !! ” Then Bai Xiaochun remembered that the Luochen Clan had a Foundation Establishment patriarch, and he began to tremble even harder.

“Foundation Foundation…. The difference between Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment was like the difference between being human 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 were flowing. He looked at Hou Yunfei, and knew that he would never be able to leave him just to gain speed. It was something he could never do on his own.

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 were facing an almost certain death. Perhaps someone at the seventh level of Qi Condensation might be able to fight back Foundation Establishment. But now, Feng Yan was already dead, and he was only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, with no hope of breaking through to the next level any time soon. As for Bai Xiaochun ... given how afraid he was of dying, Du Lingfei would never put hope on him.

"Junior Brother Bai, be sure to keep your internal spiritual energy."

Bai Xiaochun stared in shock at the medicine bottle, then opened it and consumed one of the pills. It was at this point that he suddenly recalled something, and produced two bottles of medicinal pills from the bag holding Feng Yan.

"Older Brother Feng has some medicinal pills," he said, handing over one of the bottles to Du Lingfei.

He accepted it silently, and the two of them continued on as quickly as possible. Before long, they returned to the location where they found Hou Yunfei's jade slip. When Du Lingfei saw the tree, he sighed deeply.

At this moment, there was no point in having regrets, so without another word, they continued to accelerate. Slowly, 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 noticed that Bai Xiaochun was much faster than him. When he grabbed his arm, he almost pulled away, but when he saw the terrified expression 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 laughed bitterly and said, "Junior Brother Bai, I never thought that, after all these 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. "Older Brother Hou …."

"There is still hope for us" Hou Yunfei said. "For their own personal gain, the Luochen Clan massacred people from the mortal world, extracting their blood and bones to use in spell formation. Their Founding Foundation Patriarch is currently leading the Great Magic Inverse Blood, so he cannot personally pursue us. Furthermore, the entire Luochen Clan maintained a spell formation. Therefore ... they won't be able to send very many people 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 can't get a message to the sect from this location, if we are far enough away, we can definitely!

"Something big like this, the entire clan of cultivators rebelled, definitely going to provoke a huge reaction from the sect!"

Thanks to the medicinal pills, he no longer needed the help of Bai Xiaochun, and began to accelerate with his own strength.

Therefore, they managed to increase the speed. Immediately, the borders of the Fallenstar Mountains 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 emerged from the trees not too far away.

The one leading was the young man at level eight of Qi Condensation, who looked at Bai Xiaochun and the others, his eyes flickering 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 Luochen Clan members 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 sleeve, causing the violet skull to appear. As it sped through the air, he chuckled crazily, and in the blink of an eye, it almost went straight to 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 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 at an 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 that look, he only started to add speed.

Even Chen Yue, the only member of the Luochen Clan present at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, could do nothing but stare in shock.

"He's fast," Chen Yue said coldly. "First kill these two, then we'll go after him!" Waving his sleeves, he turned to Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei, killing the seething intent.

Du Lingfei coughed a mouthful of blood. His body was already splattered with blood; he was surrounded and convinced that he was going to die. As he watched Bai Xiaochun flee into the distance, he began to laugh bitterly.

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 despair.

"Junior Brother Bai, I hope you manage to leave ..." he thought. At the same time, he performed a spell move, sending the sword flying out with Lightness-in-Heaviness power. 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 some enemies with him as he died, if only to buy more time for Bai Xiaochun.
