Chapter 1228: Pursuit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This was the second time.

It was the same situation the last time. That incomparably terrifying aura made even existences who were Venerable Ones feel terrified.

Many Venerable Ones looked at the sky in fear. They simply could not find the source of this aura.

“That fella hasn’t left yet.”

“What exactly is he trying to do? Could it be that he wants to destroy the Spiritual Realm?”

The top experts of the Spiritual Realm did not know what they were feeling at this moment. The few days of peace made them think that the person had left. They did not think that the person was still in the Spiritual Realm. Moreover, no one knew what he was trying to do.

It was as if a sharp sword was hanging on their heads. This sword could fall at any time and cut them into pieces.

Under such circumstances, who could feel at ease?

Ni Yinghong and Old Craftsman hurriedly retreated into the distance.

White Ape and Black Bear, who had recently broken through to become Venerable Ones, stood in the distance and looked over.

“Master Ou’s too strong. I feel that he can destroy us with a single finger,” Black Bear said with wide eyes and shock.

White Ape’s eyes were also filled with surprise. 2 years ago, Ou Yangming had become a Venerable One. Now, his strength had exceeded their imagination.

“Master Ou probably became a Venerable One long ago and arrived in another world. Even if he wanted to destroy this world, it would be easy for him, not to mention you and me,” White Ape said in a deep voice.

Soon, Ou Yangming’s spiritual sense covered the entire small world. From among these living beings, he looked for Bai Shixue.

Fortunately, Ou Yangming knew the approximate range.

Youzhou!

This had helped him reduce the range by more than 10 times.

Ou Yangming did not conceal his spiritual sense at all. After a short while, he looked around Youzhou and withdrew his spiritual sense.

“How’s it going?” The old man and Ni Yinghong flew over here and asked hurriedly.

Ou Yangming replied in a deep voice, “Shixue’s a bit injured. It’s nothing serious, but she’s in a very dangerous situation. I have to rush there.”

Ni Yinghong hurriedly said, “Hurry up and go. You must protect Young Sister Shixue well.”

“I got it.” Ou Yangming nodded. He looked at the sky, and his body flew up like a great roc spreading its wings. His hands grabbed at the void, and a huge crack appeared in the void. He did not hesitate at all and quickly went in.

“It’s alright. Ou Yangming has gone there. Shixue will surely be fine,” Old Craftsman comforted Ni Yinghong, who was still blaming herself.

“I hope so…” Ni Yinghong looked at the sky with red eyes.

Youzhou, the Endless Forest.

This was a famous forbidden place in the Spiritual Realm. It was full of dangers. Even weaker Venerable Ones did not dare to enter it casually.

No one knew what was in the center of the forest because even powerful Venerable Ones did not have the chance to enter.

Outside the Endless Forest, several groups of people gathered.

These people were all wearing black nightclothes, and every one of them was full of murderous auras. They looked at the dark forest with some hesitation in their eyes.

“That b*tch from the Yangming Chamber of Commerce ran into the Endless Forest. What should we do?”A black-clothed man asked.

“Entering the Endless Forest? They’re courting death. Who doesn’t know this place? It’s easy to enter but hard to come out. Do we have to go in?”

“Don’t forget Young Master’s words. If she’s alive, he wants to see her alive. If she’s dead, he wants to see her corpse. Don’t you understand the meaning of these words!” A leader said coldly.

After saying this, everyone’s expressions changed. ‘That b*tch ran into the Endless Forest. Who knows if she’s dead or alive? If we can’t get evidence of her death, Young Master won’t let us go.’

“Let’s go in together. Be careful. As long as we don’t enter the core of the Endless Forest, it won’t be a big deal. Once we catch that lady, we’ll come out quickly.”

After a short discussion, a group of black-clothed men also walked into the forest. The black forest was like a man-eating beast. The smell of decay and dampness made people cover their noses and mouths unnaturally.

These men in black were professional killers. As they walked into the forest, they searched everywhere, not letting go of any clues.

“Everyone, keep your spirits up. That b*tch is already injured. There’s still a burden among the three of them. It’s impossible for them to run too far. Don’t miss any clues.”

Inside a pitch-black cave.

There were 3 people hiding in the cave. One of them was Bai Shixue. Among the others, there was an old man in a grey robe who was an Advanced Spiritualist. The other person was a girl in a flowery dress. She was about 13 to 14 years old. Her small bright eyes were filled with fear.

“Yunduo, how are you?” Bai Shixue asked after touching the girl’s forehead.

Yunduo was a female servant of Bai Shixue. They were suddenly surrounded and killed in Youzhou. All the others were killed, leaving only the 3 of them who escaped.

Bai Shixue was an Intermediate Spiritualist while Yunduo was just an ordinary person. She could survive because the other party did not want to kill her.

The enemy was very smart. They knew that Bai Shixue had a good relationship with this servant girl. As long as they did not kill her, Bai Shixue would bring her along. This way, it would be much more convenient for them to chase after her.

“Young Lady, I’m fine,” Yunduo said timidly.

She was only an ordinary person. She had never seen such a brutal scene. There were more than 100 people in the Yangming Chamber of Commerce, but they were chased until only the 3 of them were left.

After eating a spiritual pill, Yunduo looked better.

The smell of the cave was very unpleasant. On the other side was a brown bear that had been killed. It was also the former owner of the cave.

After resting for a while, the old man stood up and said, “Young Lady, we should leave this place.”

Bai Shixue looked at Yunduo worriedly and said, “Uncle Fan, I’m afraid that Yunduo’s body won’t be able to hold on.”

“Young Lady, you don’t have to worry about me. You can leave first. I’ll only become a burden to you. If you return to Danzhou, tell my mother that I’m already dead…” Yunduo’s voice trembled. Though she was very scared, she still said what she was thinking.

“Yunduo, you won’t die.” Bai Shixue looked up at the old man and said, “Uncle Fan, I’ll have to trouble you.”

“It’s fine.”

Uncle Fan carried Yunduo on his shoulder. For an Advanced Spiritualist, carrying a person did not require much strength.

Despite that, with the physique of an ordinary person, even if it was on Uncle Fan’s back, Yunduo found it difficult to bear it. There were several times when she almost fainted, and they had no choice but to stop and rest.

“Young Lady, your injuries…” Uncle Fan looked at Bai Shixue then went to the cave entrance to check.

Bai Shixue’s face turned slightly pale as she said, “I’m fine. I’ve already used a medicinal pill to suppress the injuries in my body. It won’t erupt for a while. Only when I reach a safe place can I slowly recuperate.”

“Don’t worry, Young Lady. I know a good place in the Endless Forest. As long as we go there, we’ll be able to avoid their pursuit.”

Just as the 2 of them were about to exit the cave, they suddenly heard a few sounds.

“There’s nothing here either…”

A deep voice sounded. The few of them hurriedly covered their breaths, and their eyes were filled with panic.

This cave was only a temporary resting place for them, and it had not been disguised. If the men were to find this place, they would discover their tracks.

“What should we do?” The elder asked.

They did not expect the other party to arrive so quickly. They had only rested for a short while, but they were caught up.

At this time, they could not go out, but they also had no choice but to go out. If they went out, they would be discovered by those people. With their condition, it would be difficult for them to escape again. If they did not go out, it would be fine if they were not discovered but if they were discovered, it would be tantamount to catching a turtle in a jar.

“Let’s retreat inside first. Be careful and don’t make any noise,” Bai Shixue said in a low voice.

The 2 of them slowly retreated into the depths of the cave. This was a brown bear’s cave, and there were no other exits. There was only one exit, so it was impossible to leave from another place.

At this moment, they could only hope that the other party would not find them.

Those people were very powerful. Even if the old man was an Advanced Spiritualist, Bai Shixue and her companions would not be a match for them. If they were discovered, only death would await them.

“Search carefully. They won’t be able to go far. I feel that they should be around here.” A voice sounded, and it was even clearer than the last time. This also meant that the other party was also approaching them.

The hearts of Bai Shixue and the others were almost in their throats. At this point, they could only resign themselves to fate. Since the other party had chased them into the Endless Forest, they definitely would not give them any chance.

“There’s a cave over here!” Suddenly, another person called out.

Bai Shixue’s face was pale, and Yunduo’s face was filled with terror. The other party had discovered this cave.

Uncle Fan quietly put Yunduo down and took out 2 daggers from his waist.

“Send 2 people in to take a look.” The voice was deep, indicating that the speaker’s strength was extraordinary. Soon after, a rustling sound came from outside the cave.

2 black-clothed men slowly walked in. They held short knives in their hands, and every step they took was very careful.

“There’s the smell of blood.” The 2 of them were shocked. Then, they saw the brown bear that had lost its life not far away. Suddenly, a dangerous aura came from it, and they immediately raised the short knives in their hands to block in front of them.

“Clang!”

The sound was clear and crisp. With a blur, a figure appeared in front of them. With a puffing sound, Uncle Fan had decisively attacked with the dagger in his other hand, directly killing one of the men.

These 2 black-clothed people were both Intermediate Spiritualists, so there was still a big gap between them and Uncle Fan. The other person did not hold on for long, and his throat was quickly cut open.

Making a move also meant that they were exposed. These 2 men were just minions. Their deaths did not change the outcome at all.

Bai Shixue also took out 2 daggers from her interspatial pocket. One was in her hand while the other was given to Yunduo.

She said, “Yunduo, when they come in, we’ll kill ourselves with the dagger..”
