“Yuer! Why don’t you go first! I’ll stay here and deal with the two of them!” Yun Qingping’s handsome face, now covered in dust, looked very embarrassed, but in front of Feng Yuer, he still maintained the proper demeanor, standing behind her without losing his manly spirit.
Feng Yuer immediately shook her head and said, “Senior Brother Yun, don’t worry. Let’s keep fleeing for a while longer. When we find a suitable spot, we still have the power to fight. Moreover, the opponents are also at the Foundation Establishment stage, they just have better spells and combat experience. How can we easily admit defeat?”
Yun Qingping sighed, “We can only do this!”
“Shoo, shoo, shoo—”
“Yuer junior sister, be careful!” Yun Qingping exclaimed, making hand seals and turning around to defend.
‘Thundercloud Arc Light Shield’!
A dark semi-arc shield emerged, blocking both him and Feng Yuer.
“Clang, clang, clang!”
A series of sword qi burst forth from a distance, continuously striking the shield, all blocked by it.
Feng Yuer made hand seals, and a short spike rose up from the side, bursting forth, heading straight for a distant gray figure.
“Clang!”
The gray figure casually waved his hand, a yellow light flashed, and it sent Feng Yuer’s spike flying back.
Just at this critical moment, another red figure swiftly flew over from above, cutting off their retreat.
It was a woman in red, holding a short spike with its tip at her lips, she licked her tongue lightly and chuckled, “Little sister, why run away! Let big sister take care of you! Tut tut tut, such a pretty face! Today, I’ll turn your face into my private collection, hehehe!”
The gray-clothed man on the other side showed a strange smile, “I never expected Sister Bai Zhu to have such a hobby, but before you make it your private collection, hand her over to me first…”
Bai Zhu smiled faintly, “The thoughts of you men are truly disgusting!”
The words of the two made Feng Yuer’s face turn pale. If they truly couldn’t win… she would rather ruin her face and then end it herself!
Just as Feng Yuer’s mind was affected, Bai Zhu suddenly attacked.
‘White Heart Lock’!
“Whoosh”!
A chain shot out from the ground, wrapping around Feng Yuer, but blocked by her protective talisman.
“Yuer!” Yun Qingping was greatly shocked, about to come to her rescue, when several sword qi shot from afar, forcing him to turn back and defend.
The gray-clothed man chuckled, “Kid, don’t ruin our good fortune.”
Two novice Foundation Establishment cultivators were completely at the mercy of the two seasoned experts.
Bai Zhu chuckled lightly, conjuring a sharp nail hammer and said, “Little sister, don’t worry, I’ll break your shield now.”
The nail hammer wasn’t fast, but its force was overwhelming.
However, just as Feng Yuer pulled out her short knife and was about to slash her own face, a short figure flashed out from the side, blocking the hammer, and swung a long knife glowing with blue light.
“Clang!”
A pleasant golden sound rang out, and the hammer was sent flying far away.
A tall figure reflected in Feng Yuer’s eyes, her hand frozen in midair.
This person was Su Hao. He turned around, greeted with a smile, “Oh! What a coincidence!”
The woman in red, Bai Zhu, looked at Su Hao who appeared out of nowhere, her spine chilled with shock, instinctively asking, “Who’s there!”
Su Hao turned around, revealing a brilliant smile, then disappeared from the spot, only to reappear behind Bai Zhu.
The next moment, Bai Zhu’s head rolled off her red robes.
“Bang~”
The head slammed onto the ground, rolling aside, facing the bright sun in the sky, lips trembling, unable to utter a word, the headless body followed, falling to the ground.
The chain binding Feng Yuer also lost its strength, slackening and slipping off.
“Run!” The gray-clothed man was almost scared out of his wits, immediately conjuring escape light and fleeing backward.
Su Hao slashed across the air.
“Thud!”
A flash of blue light at the man’s neck, his head flew high and fell to the ground.
With the battle over, Su Hao sheathed his sword.
What does dumbfounded look like? Yun Qingping’s expression at the moment was exactly that.
From Su Hao’s appearance to the killing of the two enemies, it was just a momentary effort.
With just two strokes, the formidable enemies they had been chasing for half a day were dead?
Feng Yuer was much calmer, just staring blankly at Su Hao, then said, “Junior Brother Feng Wei!”
Yun Qingping obviously recognized Su Hao too. Back then, with just one finger, he had knocked him off the ring. The memory was still fresh, so no matter what, he dared not call Su Hao Junior Brother. He just bowed and said, “Senior Brother Yizhi!”
Su Hao asked curiously, “How did you end up being chased like this? Where is your Master?”
The tradition in the Yunzhong Valley was that newcomers would be led by their respective Masters for five years. These two obviously hadn’t spent that much time.
Feng Yuer was about to speak when Yun Qingping quickly answered, “Nine days ago, someone suddenly attacked our sect’s residence. Our Master and senior brothers fought with them. Yuer and I took advantage of the chaos to escape and got separated. Now we’re heading back!”
Su Hao nodded, then turned to ask Feng Yuer, “Feng Yuer, your Master is the Nascent Soul cultivator, Feng Qianye, right? Can she still find you?”
Feng Yuer shook her head lightly and said, “That day, she was chased by two people. I’m not sure where she is now.”
…
While playing with grass roots in place, Feng Ling suddenly looked up into the distance. She saw three streaks of escape light leisurely flying towards this direction. She couldn’t help but be alert. When they flew closer, she exclaimed in surprise, “Feng Wei? Caught someone? And they’re willing to come back with him obediently?”
To Feng Ling, this seemed a bit absurd, but she had gotten used to it! Even if one day she found out that Feng Wei had turned into the world’s great demon king, she wouldn’t be surprised.
After Su Hao and the others landed and stood firm, Feng Ling exclaimed in surprise, “Hey, isn’t this Feng Yuer? Feng Wei, how did you manage to bring this young girl back!”
Feng Yuer, Feng Ling still recognized, for such an exquisite and beautiful girl, once seen, it’s hard to forget, even for Feng Ling, a woman, she was moved.
With peerless beauty, who wouldn’t be attracted?
As for Yun Qingping, he was directly ignored by Feng Ling.
Feng Yuer and Yun Qingping saw Feng Ling and immediately bowed, saying, “Greetings, Senior Fairy Feng.”
Su Hao reminded, “Master, your choice of words for ‘caught’ isn’t appropriate.”
Feng Ling, however, forgot her disciple in her excitement and eagerly went up to take Feng Yuer’s hand, saying, “Yuer, this is the first time I’ve seen you up close like this! So beautiful!”
Feng Yuer smiled faintly and said, “Senior, you are also very beautiful!”
Su Hao interrupted their mutual admiration and said directly, “Master, I’ve already understood the basic situation. It seems that the sect’s base in Lingshan Province has been destroyed. If we continue wandering around, it’s meaningless and a waste of time. There are currently two options: one is to return directly to the sect, the other is to stay here temporarily, find a good place to cultivate, and wait for the senior members of the sect to find us.”
After stating the serious situation, Su Hao continued, “However, the current situation is uncertain, and the sect may not necessarily be a safe place. When the wall collapses, everyone pushes. At this time of calamity for the sect, many people with greedy eyes are staring at the sect, wanting to take a bite of this defenseless fat. It’s not difficult to imagine that in the future, large and small sects will gradually erode the Yunzhong Valley using various reasons and means. If the Yunzhong Valley shows any sign of weakness, it will be swarmed by enemies and completely withdraw from this cultivation stage.”
After explaining the grim situation, Su Hao continued, “So, what are your plans? Will you stay in Lingshan Province and wait for the seniors to find you, or will you actively return and share the hardships with the sect?”
Su Hao could accept either choice.
Staying in Lingshan Province, he could establish a base in a good location and cultivate and research alone. His Golden Core realm cultivation technique required time to practice; the pile of materials in his storage space needed research; there were still many bodies of Golden Core cultivators and two Nascent Soul cultivators to deal with; the application of formations needed continuous optimization…
Returning to the Annan Hengzhou, he could exchange materials for merit points, exchange merit points directly for a complete set of Golden Core realm cultivation techniques, break through the Golden Core realm as soon as possible, and if enemies came, he could go out and kill them all, gain merit points, continue to exchange for Nascent Soul realm cultivation techniques, quickly reach the maximum level, and then have more time to research…
In summary, both options were feasible!
Feng Ling pondered for a moment, then decisively said, “Let’s go back!”
Seeing Feng Yuer and Yun Qingping both nodding, Su Hao said, “Then let’s go! You two leave now!”
Feng Ling subconsciously said, “Us? What about you?”
Su Hao said, “I’m much faster than you. You two go first, I’ll catch up anytime.”
How could Su Hao spend more than a month flying back with them leisurely? He could just teleport directly!
