Chapter 442: Chapter 0312: Can’t Get Rid Of Chapter 442: Chapter 0312: Can’t Get Rid Of Chapter 0312: The Unwanted Visitor

As numerous spells and arrow runes threatened to engulf him, Qi Tian leaped onto the flying sword, and clutching a spirit rune, he soared into the sky. He had slain many half-step Golden Cores and selecting a good flying sword from the spoils he seized was no difficult task for him. The flying sword he was using now was pretty decent. It could even reach a speed exceeding two hundred kilometers per hour without employing the speed multiplier mode of the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Seeing that their attacks failed to restrain Qi Tian, the native cultivators cried out in anger. They called to each other, and charged towards the direction Qi Tian had flown off in pursuit of him.

Though Qi Tian was eager to meet Huang Liuyan immediately, he knew that rushing into the camp like that would be equivalent to sending himself to an early death. There were thousands of native cultivators guarding the camp. Even in the least densely populated areas, they maintained complete control over a space dozens of meters thick. Among them were not only half-step Golden Cores but also formidable siege weapons. Qi Tian would certainly not survive if they launched an assault on him.

Wisely, Qi Tian chose to fly away from the camp. Several native cultivators tailed him closely. Soon, they had gone a considerable distance from the camp.

Standing on the lookout tower, Huang Liuyan didn’t notice Qi Tian at first. It was only when he fled from the native cultivators that she glanced in his direction from afar. As they were too far apart, Huang Liuyan only found Qi Tian vaguely familiar. However, she shook her head soon after, dismissing the thought. No matter what, she could never imagine Qi Tian daring to enter this secret territory. The coincidence was simply too remarkable, and thoroughly unrealistic.

Qi Tian flew ahead, with the native cultivators in hot pursuit. Soon, they had covered about ten li. At this distance, those surrounding the camp could barely spot them. No longer fleeing, Qi Tian made a sudden U-turn and launched an attack on the pursuing native cultivator scouts.

The latter hadn’t expected Qi Tian, whom they had driven into a corner earlier, to counter-attack. Caught off-guard, they were unable to defend themselves against Qi Tian’s thunderous attack. Two were killed instantly, and the remaining one tried to flee. However, it was already too late. With a blink of an eye, Qi Tian activated the Heavenly Dao engine and, using the speed granted by its speed multiplier mode, he quickly caught up with the last native cultivator scout. Swinging his Red Hoop Stick, he sent the unfortunate fellow to meet Yama.

As usual, he stowed the bodies of the three native cultivators. His gaze then turned back to the camp. He gave up on reuniting with Huang Liuyan at the camp and released a message paper crane, carrying his message to her.

The message paper crane was a common communication medium for cultivators, capable of delivering messages point-to-point. Therefore, it was highly popular among cultivators. Qi Tian and Huang Liuyan had used it to communicate on numerous occasions before. However, this time, for some reason, Huang Liuyan didn’t respond to his message.

Qi Tian waited for half an hour, but there was still no reply. This was quite abnormal. The straight-line distance between him and the camp was approximately ten li. For such a short distance, even in half an hour, the paper crane could easily cover the distance several times over. No matter what other disturbances there might have been, Huang Liuyan should have been able to reply to his message.

Had something happened?

After some thought, Qi Tian fetched another transmission talisman, intending to send Huang Liuyan another message. However, right at that moment, a message paper crane fluttered towards him, flying directly towards his location.

Qi Tian quickly unfolded it and Huang Liuyan’s familiar handwriting quickly appeared before his eyes.

The message was simple. She was surprised to receive Qi Tian’s message and was currently under siege by native cultivators, which made it difficult for her to reply. Huang Liuyan expressed her gratitude to Qi Tian for his good intentions but politely declined his offer to help at the camp. In the end, she suggested that if Qi Tian truly wished to meet her and catch up, they could meet at a lake twenty li due north of the camp at midnight.

Qi Tian wasn’t sure why Huang Liuyan wanted to meet at the lake, but he decided to meet her there given that they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

Qi Tian sent a message paper crane in return and then left the vicinity of the camp. He waited until nightfall before making his way north from the camp. As expected, roughly twenty li from the camp, he found a rather large lake.

Qi Tian stood by the lake, quietly waiting for Huang Liuyan to arrive. As midnight approached, a thick fog began to rise from the surface of the lake. In no time, the entire lake and its surroundings were enveloped in the fog, obscuring visibility.

Just then, a boat appeared on the lake. A lantern hung at the front of the boat, a non-mundane item that pierced through the dense fog and cast a faint glow far into the distance.

Since its emergence, the boat was moving steadily towards Qi Tian. Watching silently, Qi Tian saw a beautiful silhouette appearing on the boat. The familiar figure could only be Huang Liuyan and no one else.
