Chapter 854: Chapter 614: The Assault of 4 Flower Maidens_2

"Have they left?"

Wang Yang murmured quietly, his impression of Liu Wen had changed. He admired Liu Wen’s spirit of willing sacrifice for the grand plans of the Human Race.

Within the Underworld, there were two major factions: one governed by King Yama, who took charge of life and death, and the other by the Ghost Master, who oversaw Hell!

Liu Wen’s ability to escape the Ghost Master’s grasp indicated that his peak realm was extraordinarily terrifying.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder seen in the image was not an ordinary magical power art, but rather a talismanic technique of the celestial Mountain Celestial Master lineage.

Celestial Master’s Thunder Talisman!

It seemed Liu Wen had deep connections with the Celestial Master Zhang Family lineage.

"Are you alright, Young Master?"

Seeing Wang Yang wake up, a bit lost and not himself, Cao Man couldn’t help but step forward with concern.

"I’m fine!"

Wang Yang shook his head with a smile. Liu Wen must have left while he was reading the letter.

"Did Old Liu leave any words before he departed?"

"He didn’t leave any words, but he left a turtle shell, saying that if we encounter danger, we can crush the turtle shell, and it might help us escape temporarily."

At Wang Yang’s inquiry, Cao Man suddenly remembered this and took out a turtle shell, handing it over. Wang Yang accepted it, frowned slightly but did not say anything further and put it away.

"Let’s go!"

The Youdu Mountain Range, located at the extreme west of the Western Territory, was little known and the journey was extremely long. Normally, it would take at least a month to travel.

Su Yue was in seclusion and breakthrough at the True Martial Sect, Wang Yang was a hundred percent at ease. So he wasn’t in a hurry and could enjoy the scenery of the Western Territory along the way.

Falling Leaf Forest, the first mountain range outside the True Martial Sect’s area of influence, wasn’t part of any sect and was regarded as a gathering place for Loose Cultivators.

Though called Falling Leaf Forest, it stretched across six surrounding mountain peaks, making it also known as the Falling Leaves Mountain Range.

Because the forest’s leaves wilted and scattered year-round like in autumn, the land was covered with fallen leaves all over, hence the name.

"Brother Wang Yang, it’s so beautiful here!"

Lingyu, sitting on Wang Yang’s shoulders, looked at the falling leaves of varied colors and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

"Come down and have a look. Don’t run too far!"

"Alright!"

Squatting down, Wang Yang let Lingyu jump to the ground. Her large curious eyes darting around.

Following Liu Wen’s instructions, Lingyu called Wang Yang and Cao Man ’Big Brother’ and Miss Muxue ’Big Sister’. To make it sound less awkward, she added their names before the titles.

Throughout the journey, Wang Yang didn’t mind Lingyu riding on his shoulders, he was fond of children around seven or eight years old.

Lingyu ran around, observing the constantly falling leaves, playing happily within Wang Yang’s sight.

"Is it your first time visiting the Western Territory, Young Master?"

After spending a few days together, Wang Yang became familiar with Cao Man and Muxue, and their personalities clicked, making their relationship closer.

Nodding lightly in response to Muxue’s question, Wang Yang confirmed he’d studied maps of the Western Territory but found some discrepancies in the real situation.

For example, the Falling Leaf Forest wasn’t detailed on the map.

"The Falling Leaf Forest is a gathering place for Loose Cultivators in the Western Territory. Without any rules or restrictions, killing and robbing occur as long as one has enough power. Because it isn’t under any sect’s influence, it’s also known as the lawless zone!"

Muxue provided a brief introduction, hinting that the lawless zone wasn’t suitable for long stays to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Got it!"

Nodding, Wang Yang was about to call Lingyu back when a powerful aura suddenly emerged from the void. Then a figure descended from the sky, rushing straight towards Lingyu.

The figure seemed to have been waiting, moving quickly. Cao Man, Wang Yang, and Muxue almost moved simultaneously when a sudden sound of cicadas halted their motions briefly.

In that brief pause, the figure landed in front of Lingyu — a green-clad woman who picked up Lingyu into her embrace.

"Spring Cicada Chant! Chun Liu of the Four Great Flower Maidens from the Huaying Sect!"

"Cao Man, long time no see!"

The green-clad maiden didn’t mind being recognized by Cao Man, smiling and greeting him.

"Long time no see?"

With a cold smile, Cao Man vanished from his spot and reappeared before Chun Liu, reaching out to snatch Lingyu.

Chun Liu didn’t evade. In the void ahead, temperatures suddenly dropped, frosting over Cao Man and turning him into an ice sculpture!

"Is this the True Martial Sect’s perceived strength?"

In the void to Cao Man’s right, a figure gradually emerged, dressed in pure white, as white as snow, speaking with heavy sarcasm.

"Chun Liu, Dong Xue, the Four Great Flower Maidens, only Qiu Ye and Xia He are missing!"

Not far away, Muxue smiled, unfazed by Cao Man’s confinement. Regarding concealment prowess, few could match the Lingyin Sect.

Upon entering Falling Leaf Forest, Muxue noticed Chun Liu and companions’ presence, informing Cao Man, thinking the Flower Maidens targeted him, given the enmity between Huaying Sect and True Martial Sect.

Unexpectedly, Chun Liu aimed for Lingyu, surprising Muxue slightly.

Wang Yang sensed Chun Liu and companions’ presence but paid little mind.

Despite the Spring Cicada Chant’s effect, which restricted movement for a breath’s time, it allowed Chun Liu to approach Lingyu.

"Since Miss Muxue has pointed it out, not showing up would be impolite."

Suddenly, as if the falling leaves froze, they turned into streaks of spiritual power and shot towards Muxue!

With a smirk, Muxue’s silhouette dissolved, evading it effortlessly!

"Qiu Ye, be careful!"

Chun Liu and Dong Xue saw Muxue’s disappearance and hurriedly warned Qiu Ye, but it was too late!

Muxue’s form reappeared on a branch above, her right hand slicing down at the void!

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, a yellow-clad maiden’s figure retreated, blocked by a totem that disintegrated upon impact.

Chun Liu and Dong Xue focused on Qiu Ye, completely missing Muxue’s disappearance!

"Begone!"

With a low cry, Muxue approached Chun Liu within ten meters when Xia He appeared to block her from rescuing Lingyu!

Though unfamiliar with Lingyu’s identity, Wang Yang’s affection for Lingyu indicated her importance.

Thus, the Four Maidens planned this ambush, starting with luring Cao Man into getting ice-sealed by Dong Xue’s trap.

Qiu Ye then tried to confine Muxue, but her unexpected strength overcame robbing Muxue’s trap, breaking the totem and repelling Qiu Ye, appearing before Chun Liu.

"Buzz!"

In the moment of crisis, Spring Cicada Chant sounded again, but this time Muxue’s form didn’t pause, bypassing Xia He, grabbing Lingyu and flashing back to Wang Yang!

"Crack!"

At this moment, the ice trapping Cao Man began cracking, resembling spider webs!
