Chapter 1433: Chapter 1433: Survival After Despair

The journey to White Bone Gully may not be far, but peaks and valleys rise and fall along the way, ravines crisscross, dense forests spread across, and many Spirit Beast territories must be passed through, which are perilous and difficult for ordinary Martial Artists.

Fortunately, Fang Bai, Shi Ming, Zheng Hong, and Huang Zhong were all able to condense Spirit Energy wings for brief flights, which posed no real obstacles for them along this journey.

Although Huang Zhong’s flying speed was somewhat slow, he was carried by Shi Ming throughout, without slowing the group down.

During their flight, the five faintly heard a distant howl from behind.

"That howl... seems to be from that woman by the lake!"

Shi Ming said with a frown.

"Hmm, that howl is likely a signal for summoning sect members among the Soul Summoning Hall disciples..."

Zheng Hong, having joined Lingxu Palace earlier and interacted with many Soul Summoning Hall disciples, knew what the howl signified.

Huang Zhong exclaimed, "That woman is a Soul Summoning Hall disciple?"

The enmity between the Soul Summoning Hall and Lingxu Palace was like fire and water, already a deep-seated vendetta, a fact well-known even to menial servant disciples like Huang Zhong.

Zheng Hong said solemnly, "It should be the case."

Shi Ming asked puzzled, "But that woman’s strength is slightly superior to Senior Sister Sun’s; why would she need to summon fellow disciples?"

"Could it be that Senior Sister Sun used some powerful method, forcing that woman to call for help?"

Thinking of this possibility, Huang Zhong couldn’t help but get excited.

Zheng Hong and Shi Ming also felt their spirits lifted.

In this world of Martial Artists, many possess treasures or secret techniques to preserve their lives, typically used only as a last resort.

In the minds of Zheng Hong, Shi Ming, and Huang Zhong, Sun Lin being Elder Sun Jing’s precious granddaughter, wouldn’t Elder Sun impart some advanced Martial Arts Techniques or extraordinarily powerful treasures to her for such a training expedition?

But Fang Bai knew that Sun Lin had only received some Spirit Pills and Spiritual Liquid from Elder Sun, and the primary boost she relied on was the significantly enhanced strength obtained after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, Sun Lin’s opponent, that Soul Summoning Hall woman, was also a Foundation Establishment Expert and slightly superior in strength. If she were to summon fellow disciples for assistance, Sun Lin would indeed find herself in dire straits.

"You three go wait by the entrance to White Bone Gully first. I’ll go back and take a look... Don’t worry, if we can’t defeat them, Senior Sister Sun and I will escape. I’m quite skilled at fleeing. I’m off!"

Without waiting for Shi Ming and the others to reply, Fang Bai changed direction mid-air, flapped his Spirit Energy Wings vigorously, and dashed away.

"Should we go back together?"

Shi Ming watched Fang Bai’s figure grow distant, turned his head, and asked Zheng Hong and Huang Zhong.

Zheng Hong pondered for a moment and shook his head, "It’s unnecessary. With our strength, even if we go back, we won’t be able to help, and we’ll only end up being a hindrance to them. Let’s follow Junior Brother Fang’s suggestion and head to the entrance of White Bone Gully and wait."

The three accelerated their flight and soon reached the entrance of White Bone Gully, finding a secluded spot nearby to sit cross-legged and recover, waiting patiently for Fang Bai and Sun Lin to arrive.

......

Six rainbows, one leading and five following, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, streaked over the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range like meteors.

Sun Lin flew swiftly on her sword, covering over three hundred miles in an instant, regularly glancing back to see the five pursuing Soul Summoning Hall disciples growing ever closer, her heart filled with urgency.

The five Soul Summoning Hall disciples were veteran Foundation Establishment experts; each held strength slightly superior to Sun Lin. At this pace, within a hundred more miles, Sun Lin would be intercepted.

Once confronted five-to-one, Sun Lin would have no hope of victory, with her life entirely in the hands of her pursuers.

Considering the potential consequences of her capture, Sun Lin shivered with fear.

"Little girl, you can’t escape! Save your strength!"

Wu Shufeng’s voice called out from afar, echoing in Sun Lin’s ears.

"Haha, my little beauty, wouldn’t it be better to be my Martial Dao companion, Wen Dongyang? When we cultivate together, not only can we enjoy extreme pleasure but also improve our cultivation levels together, why not?"

Wu Shufeng’s voice had just fallen when Wen Dongyang’s voice continued.

The other Soul Summoning Hall disciples laughed nastily, occasionally saying things that made Sun Lin feel disgusted.

Though they casually joked, the five Soul Summoning Hall disciples flew at full speed, closing the gap so that Sun Lin could already distinguish their facial features upon turning back.

Riding on Spiritual Artifacts allows for faster travel than moving on the ground but significantly depletes Divine Sense and Spiritual Energy.

After flying over three hundred miles, Sun Lin clearly felt her Divine Sense weakening and Spiritual Energy rapidly draining, realizing she could fly only a hundred more miles before she would need to stow away her Spiritual Artifact and land.

The same was true for the five Soul Summoning Hall disciples.

"Little girl, if you keep running, I won’t go easy on you!"

Seeing Sun Lin’s speed undeterred, heading towards the core of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, Wu Shufeng guessed her intentions and threatened in her voice.

Sun Lin gritted her teeth, ignoring her, and accelerated.

The core of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range is extremely perilous; even Foundation Establishment perfection experts dare not tread lightly, let alone initial Foundation Establishment practitioners like them.

Sun Lin betted that Wu Shufeng, Wen Dongyang, and the other Soul Summoning Hall disciples wouldn’t dare pursue too deeply. If she could shake them off, she might yet find a glimmer of survival.

If caught by them, she would truly find herself in a fate worse than death.

"Swoosh!"

"Zzzz..."

"Boom..."

A rapid cutting sound of the air, along with the crackling of electricity and the roar of thunder, a long sword shimmering with purple electric light launched like a spirit snake from Wu Shufeng’s hand, stabbing towards Sun Lin’s back.

Ordinary Martial Artists find it exceedingly rare to possess even a single Spiritual Artifact, but Wu Shufeng, due to a chance encounter, had obtained two Spiritual Artifacts from a Martial Artist’s trail simultaneously. One was the "Purple Thunder Sword" she rode upon, and the other was the "Lightning Snake Sword" she just released.

The Lightning Snake Sword, as swift as lightning, moving twice as fast as Sun Lin, pierced the space between them, instantly reaching within ten feet of Sun Lin’s rear.

Facing the Lightning Snake Sword’s attack, Sun Lin had two options.

One was to stop, using her Spiritual Artifact to counter the Lightning Snake Sword, but this would lead to her being surrounded by the five Soul Summoning Hall disciples.

The other was to change her flight direction, descending into the forest below.

After a slight hesitation, Sun Lin decisively chose the second option.

If surrounded by the five Soul Summoning Hall disciples, escape would be impossible.

After descending into the forest below, with numerous Spirit Beasts present, both Sun Lin and the Soul Summoning Hall disciples would act with caution, unable to move freely.

This would provide Sun Lin a chance to escape.

"What a cunning little girl; she’s aiming for the death trap to find life!"

Wu Shufeng retrieved her Lightning Snake Sword, somewhat annoyed as she looked down at Sun Lin hastily plummeting into the forest, asking, "Senior Brother Wen, should we pursue?"

"Pursue!"

Wen Dongyang said through gritted teeth.

After expending their Divine Sense and Spiritual Energy, chasing all the way here, how could they give up easily?

Furthermore, though the forest below shelters Spirit Beasts, they, as five Foundation Establishment experts combined, should be able to handle whatever may come.
