125: Chapter 123: Clash Between Two Sects (Second Update) 125: Chapter 123: Clash Between Two Sects (Second Update) Within Lishui Sect!

Sect Leader Chu Taiping and nine Sect Elders ascended simultaneously, amidst twinkling spirit lights, Sect Leader Chu Taiping was the first to step out of the sect.

Just as Chu Taiping stepped out of the sect, the void in front of him was suddenly torn open, and a large palm seal reached out, stamping down towards Chu Taiping in the air.

“Hmm?”

A gleam of light flashed in Chu Taiping’s eyes.

Successive waves of sword light soared into the sky, shredding the large palm seal before it could press down on his head.

The figure of Sect Leader Guo Qijing of Qiyun Sect stepped out from the void.

“Sect Leader Chu, Guo suddenly feels an itch to fight today, may I have a battle with you?”

The moment Guo Qijing appeared, he sent down another palm seal without any explanation, and this one was distinctly more powerful than the previous one that tore through the void.

Underneath the palm seal, the sky and earth changed colors, and the Departure Mountain Range of Lishui Sect was diminished by three parts.

“If Sect Leader Guo is interested, how could Chu refuse?

Elders, please go ahead!”

The moment Chu Taiping faced the challenge, seven of the nine Sect Elders split off, aiming straight for the Yin Mountain Blood Gorge.

The two remaining Sect Elders, however, stayed to fight alongside Chu Taiping against Guo Qijing.

A streak of Ice Sword Light shot out like lightning, exploding in front of the seven Lishui Sect Elders, momentarily blocking their path.

The figure of Liao Feibai then emerged from a sword light, directly blocking the seven Lishui Sect Elders.

“Arrogance, Liao Rakshasa, do you really think your single strength can stop all seven of us!” The Grand Elder Lik Quan of Lishui Sect coldly snorted as he charged forward.

Almost simultaneously, the other six Elders of Lishui Sect powered up to surround and seemingly attempt to annihilate Liao Feibai on the spot.

“The shameless old fools of Lishui Sect are truly the most despicable!

Seven old men with nearly a thousand years between them ganging up on a young girl.

Lik Quan, allow this old man to meet you!”

The figure of Grand Elder Lut Changchuan from Qiyun Sect soared from behind to meet Lik Quan.

“Heh, Lik Shi, we didn’t finish our chat last time, this time, let us get close and personal!” Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing from Qiyun Sect also charged over.

“Lik Yu, don’t run, are you that afraid of me, Hong Banjiang!”

Amidst the rolling sword lights, Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang from Qiyun Sect blocked the path of the fleeing Fourth Elder Lik Yu of Lishui Sect.

Unlike the others, the old face of Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang was dark and displeasing to look at.

In a moment, two more Elders from Qiyun Sect arrived, blocking all the departing Elders of Lishui Sect at the sect entrance.

Liao Feibai, facing two opponents, surprisingly did not fall behind at all.

“Sect Leader Guo, I thought your Qiyun Sect would come out in full force.

Why only these few?

Where are the three other Elders?” In the void, Chu Taiping, supported by two Sect Elders, was battling Guo Qijing to a draw.

“To take you down, these few are enough!

Those other Elders are staying at home to guard against any unforeseen attacks by uncultivated young wolves.”

“Sect Leader Guo, we are now in our Lishui Sect stronghold, are you not afraid that with one command from me, all the True Inheritors come out to aid, and annihilate your few Elders?” With the support of two Elders, Chu Taiping was handling it quite effortlessly.

Hearing this, Guo Qijing only laughed, “Afraid?

Of course, I’m afraid.

So, hey!”

Suddenly, a large palm seal shot out from behind Guo Qijing’s head, directly hammering towards a densely packed peak of Lishui Sect.

That peak, where Inner Sect Disciples of Lishui Sect usually endured hardship training, was bustling today as all the disciples had come out to watch the battle unfolding in the skies.

“To hell with your True Inheritors, Inner, and Outer Gates, I’ll first slaughter a few hundred!”

Chu Taiping was shocked.

“Despicable!”

Cursing, he didn’t even have time to attack Guo Qijing as he and three Elders rushed like a flash to strike the large palm seal, just barely breaking it before it could level the mountain.

“Heh, I am despicable!

Or isn’t it you, Sect Leader Chu, who instigated this by wanting to order the True Inheritors to kill our Sect Elders?

I wouldn’t have done such an outrageous thing otherwise!”

While these words carried a smirk, the undertone in Guo Qijing’s voice was full of endless threats.

The implication was simple, if you play by the rules, so will we earnestly fight.

If you don’t play by the rules, then I will also play a few tricks.

After this episode, Sect Leader Chu Taiping of Lishui Sect completely sobered up, seeing all the Sect Elders blocked and the True Inheritors stuck within and unable to leave the sect, he sighed deeply to himself.

“This opportunity relies solely on Jun now…”

In the skies above Departure Mountain, as the fierce battle raged between Qiyun Sect and Lishui Sect, Luluo, carrying one on her back and clutching another in her arms, was desperately fleeing for her life in the Yin Mountain Range.

Some fifteen kilometers behind her, Lishui Sect martial artists who had broken through the illusion array, along with additional reinforcements arriving from Yinshan County, were relentlessly pursuing her.

There were too many pursuers, about thirty or forty martial artists divided into six or seven groups, chasing Luluo in a fan-shaped formation.

Even with Luluo’s countless cunning strategies during her escape, creating various false leads, at most, she could only confuse one or two groups of pursuers.

With six or seven groups coordinating their pursuit, even if some were deceived, it wouldn’t take long for them to catch up again.

Luluo felt on the verge of collapse!

Eight hours had passed.

She had been running from night to dawn, then from dawn back to night, yet neither the one on her back, Ye Zhen, nor the one tied in her arms, Meng Xiaoyue, showed the slightest sign of waking.

It’s difficult to imagine what it’s like, being chased through the Yin Mountain Range with two lifeless bodies on your back, pursued by enemies and menaced by Demon Beasts.

Luluo felt her physical strength had reached its limit, everything was being forcibly sustained by her True Yuan and willpower.

Running through the mountain forest carrying hundreds of pounds for eight hours, her legs had mechanically continued to advance.

“Elder Sister Liao, why haven’t you come yet?

I really can’t hold on anymore.” Luluo looked up at the sky and sighed.

What Luluo didn’t know was that Feibai was currently in the midst of a fierce battle outside the gates of the Lishui Sect, unable to come to her rescue.

“Dead man, you’ve been asleep for almost a whole day and night, and you’re still not waking up, you want to kill me!” Thinking about it made Luluo so angry that she fiercely slapped Ye Zhen.

After slapping Ye Zhen, the Ink Pattern Whip in her hand shot out like lightning, wrapping around a large tree ten meters ahead.

With a tug, she flew forward several dozen meters.

Because of Luluo’s slap, Ye Zhen, who was carried on her back, woke up from a deep sleep.

Although waking up left him feeling very tired and his head was still faintly hurting, the kind of convulsive pain that could knock a person out was gone.

According to what Caiyi said, in the case of excessive consumption of Divine Soul Power without medicinal assistance, depending on the strength of the Divine Soul, it takes at least three days and nights to fully recover.

However, Ye Zhen knew he could no longer keep sleeping.

If he slept any longer, they might all be doomed!

Suddenly, Luluo’s figure bounced a bit, and instinctively, Ye Zhen’s arms, which were wrapped around Luluo’s chest, suddenly tightened, gripping her firmly.

This confused grab was extremely elastic, filling Ye Zhen’s hands completely, eliciting a strange feeling.

Attacked at her chest, Luluo exclaimed in surprise.

Already pushed to her limit, her body suddenly softened, and she tumbled forward.

At that moment, as his head gradually cleared, Ye Zhen finally realized what he had done.

However, as Luluo tumbled, Ye Zhen instinctively grabbed her even tighter.

During the roll, Ye Zhen’s legs entwined around a large tree, stabilizing their tumbling forms.

During that tumble, Meng Xiaoyue, who had been in his arms, was thrown out.

Ye Zhen lay flat on the ground, with Luluo cradled in his arms, his hands still tightly clenching the front of her chest.

“Aren’t you letting go yet!”

After resting for a few moments and regaining a bit of strength, Luluo’s voice, full of embarrassment and anger, rang out, trying to break free but her body was too weak to exert any force.

“Did you do that on purpose?”

“Are you taking advantage of me?”

“No…

no…”

“I just woke up, then you tumbled…”

“If it weren’t for you…

if it weren’t for you…” Meng Xiaoyue was so angry she sat down hard.

“Hmph, if it weren’t for us running for our lives, I would chop off those claws of yours!”

Luluo was very sensible, she understood that now was not the time for emotional outbursts or playful banter.

Their pursuers were just a few miles behind and could catch up in about 15 minutes.

In the shortest time possible, Luluo explained the situation to Ye Zhen.

In just a few moments, Ye Zhen picked up Meng Xiaoyue and, holding Luluo’s hand, started to run furiously.

Despite the headache, Ye Zhen’s physical strength was still quite abundant.

After running wildly for about an hour, Ye Zhen found a hidden dip in the small mountain, where he settled Luluo and Meng Xiaoyue, both of whom had reached their limits.

“I’ll keep running deeper to lead the pursuers away!

Later, you use the Illusion Array to hide yourself and Little Yue.

After resting for half a day, quickly leave the Yin Mountain Range and take Little Yue back!”

“This place, I’ve checked, is the territory of the Demon Beast Purple Horned Green Sheep.

They eat grass, so as long as you don’t attack them, you’ll be fine!” Ye Zhen spoke as quickly as he could.

“No way!”

Even though Luluo was exhausted to the extreme, upon hearing Ye Zhen’s words, she firmly objected, “Going deeper is too dangerous, and with so many pursuers, there could be Lishui Sect experts coming to reinforce at any moment…”

“Have you forgotten what I told you?

I am the ‘King of the Mountains’!”

“Be good, listen to me!”

After patting Luluo’s head softly, Ye Zhen turned his body and carefully cleaned up their traces, then turned back the way they came.

Watching Ye Zhen resolutely return the way he had come, Luluo’s nose tingled, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

Luluo knew very well that Ye Zhen returning the way he had come meant creating more commotion to divert the pursuers for her.

“Damn it, even if you are the ‘King of the Mountains,’ you’re only half…”

Watching Ye Zhen’s disappearing figure, tears silently flowed from her lovely eyes.

No one knew better than Luluo, who often traversed the Yin Mountain Range, how terrifying the depths of the Yin Mountain Range were.

In a bush, when Ye Zhen heard the shouting of the pursuers, he vigorously kicked the bushes into disarray, then dashed into the depths of the Yin Mountain Range.

“Over here, chase this way!”

Among the shouts, six or seven groups of pursuers followed the traces Ye Zhen had deliberately made and chased after him.

In the sky, the figure of Chu Jun, who had flown frantically half the day to the Yin Mountain Blood Gorge and had taken hours to catch up, also appeared.

Seeing the figure of his fellow disciple running wildly in the Yin Mountain Range, Chu Jun’s eyes brightened, and he descended.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen, who was sprinting on the mountain peak, also saw a figure descending in the distance.

“Has Lishui Sect’s reinforcement arrived?

Who could it be?”

“No matter who it is, this time, I will teach you all an unforgettable lesson!

Hmph, who made you chase into the mountains…”

The next instant, Ye Zhen’s figure darted into a forest.

Collecting his energy in his ears, he listened attentively, his eyes emitting a terrifying brilliance!
