Chapter 558: Chapter 544: Racing Against the Clock

These disciples from the Earth Hall, where could they guess Wu Pojun’s thoughts and took his words for the truth.

Following that, these Earth Hall disciples all stood up, preparing to follow Wu Pojun and leave this area.

"It’s not right, Junior Brother Xiao Ye seems to still be cultivating somewhere else, I’ll go call him over." Just at this moment, a young man suddenly thought of the forgotten Xiao Ye, quickly spoke up, and then was about to head towards where Xiao Ye was.

"Junior Brother Xiao Ye likes to cultivate alone, you better not go and bother him." Wu Pojun flew over, stopping the young man in his tracks and spoke coldly, with a chilling glint in his eyes that clearly conveyed his intent.

The young man was slightly stunned, then seemed to think of something and stopped talking, turning around and walking back.

The other disciples from the Earth Hall also noticed something off about Wu Pojun’s demeanor, and their expressions turned strange.

They were not blind; they had noticed Wu Pojun’s dissatisfaction with Xiao Ye all the way, and so they guessed that this time, Wu Pojun was likely looking for an excuse to deal with Xiao Ye again.

However, none of them dared to speak up; after all, standing behind Wu Pojun was the number one devilish disciple of the Main Hall, Lin Feng. Who would dare to offend him?

You should know, their ability to leave for their experiential training was also thanks to Lin Feng. After all, they were considered people on Lin Feng’s side. Not helping Wu Pojun against Xiao Ye was already good enough, how could they possibly stand up for Xiao Ye?

"Alright, let’s all go. I hope you understand that everything I’m doing now is instructed by Senior Brother Lin Feng. If anyone dares to disrupt, I will definitely report it to Senior Brother Lin Feng when I go back," Wu Pojun threatened.

The dozen or so disciples immediately fell silent as if chilled to the bone and under his leadership, left the area.

"Huh? Why are these Taiyi Palace disciples leaving?"

"Yeah, it’s so strange. How could they be willing to give up the chance to cultivate in Chaoyang Valley?"

"Pfft, isn’t it obvious? They must have realized that with so few people, they couldn’t possibly contend with us, so they obediently left."

...

The remaining twenty or so disciples from the Four Symbols Sect noticed the commotion from Wu Pojun and others and couldn’t help but start discussing it, their voices filled with disdain. Even two young men believed that Wu Pojun and his group were fleeing out of fear and were preparing to catch up and intercept them.

"Everyone get back here, and quietly cultivate right here!" Qi Lianshan stood up and roared without any hesitation.

Hearing Qi Lianshan’s scolding, the two young men instinctively shrank their necks and then obediently walked back.

"From now on, don’t concern yourself with anything and concentrate on cultivating here. Whoever dares to defy me, don’t blame me for being ruthless!" Qi Lianshan spoke and then shot up into the sky, stepping into the air towards a certain direction in the basin.

The remaining Four Symbols Sect disciples looked at each other in dismay.

Although Qi Lianshan’s strength was very powerful, his personality was usually quite good, yet he had just lost his temper.

"Alright, stop causing trouble. Let’s just listen to Senior Brother Qi and cultivate well here. What happens to the Taiyi Palace disciples has nothing to do with us," said a beautiful woman.

As her words fell, the twenty or so Four Symbols Sect disciples shook their heads and no longer pondered, resuming their cultivation.

Elsewhere, Qi Lianshan was stepping through the air, using the sounds of cultivation to quickly locate Xiao Ye in a dense forest.

Xiao Ye was currently sitting cross-legged on the ground, operating both the Four Emperor Skills’ King Martial Scroll cultivation method and the Heavenly Treasure Record in tandem, absorbing the vast Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi while also refining the energy of the King Crystal, then quietly channeling it into the four King Realms.

Wu Pojun had not guessed wrong; Xiao Ye was indeed at a critical juncture of his cultivation, having sealed off his senses, otherwise, with such a commotion from the Four Symbols Sect disciples, he should have already awakened.

"He’s still cultivating and unaware of my approach, it seems this time we can definitely succeed." Qi Lianshan hid behind a clump of bushes, watching Xiao Ye’s state, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"I wonder where his Imperial bloodline Ferocious Beast is?" Qi Lianshan looked around and didn’t notice any trace of a ferocious beast, which made him frown.

Could Wu Pojun be playing him?

"At this point, whether it’s true or false, I’ll just give it a try." Qi Lianshan gritted his teeth, his silver hair dancing wildly, and then his body explosively shot towards Xiao Ye.

Boom!

Qi Lianshan raised his hand, energy surging in his palm, ready to strike at Xiao Ye.

Suddenly—

Swoosh!

An unbelievably fast white shadow suddenly descended from the sky, launching an attack on Qi Lianshan from the side.

"What is that!" Qi Lianshan was shocked by the speed of the white shadow.

Qi Lianshan, with his profound Cultivation, reacted extremely swiftly as he quickly shifted his attack towards the white shadow that had pounced on him.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

But that white shadow was equally agile, changing its line of attack several times before Qi Lianshan’s palm could hit, its claws, flickering with a cold light, slashing towards him.

Bang!

The claws, glittering with a cold light, trembled against Qi Lianshan’s defense constructed with King Martial Power and then made a small hole. The claws continued to advance, causing a stinging pain on Qi Lianshan’s cheek.

Swoosh!

Qi Lianshan’s heart skipped a beat, and he hastily retreated backward. Touching his cheek, he discovered five bloody scratches, from which fresh blood was flowing.

"Damn it!"

Qi Lianshan was furious. Then, his gaze sharpened because the attacker turned out to be a small, palm-sized fluffy ferocious beast floating in front of him, its intelligent little eyes shimmering with an overwhelming cold light.

"Could this be the Imperial bloodline Ferocious Beast?" Qi Lianshan was first stunned and then was overjoyed.

The speed displayed by Little White just now, along with the destructive power of its claws, had almost caught him off guard. This was terrifyingly formidable.

"Haha, heaven is truly helping me! If I can subdue this ferocious beast, my status among the Four Symbols Sect’s disciples will surely rise quickly," Qi Lianshan thought excitedly to himself.

However, unfortunately, with Little White’s disruption, it was very likely that Xiao Ye would awaken.

"I absolutely can’t let that kid take out the Heavenly Martial Order, or I’ll be doomed. I must act quickly!" A cold light flashed in Qi Lianshan’s eyes.

In the next moment—

Whoosh!

Qi Lianshan’s figure flickered, creating ten identical copies of himself to break through Little White’s blockade and launch a fatal blow at Xiao Ye.

"Roar!"

Little White became enraged, letting out a howl, and its originally petite body started to grow larger.
