Chapter 491 - 220: Dried-up Well

Chapter 491: Chapter 220: Dried-up Well

He then grabbed Qin Fang and, with a few strides, instantly fled into the distance!

The sound of a baby crying instantly vanished, and Qin Fang’s mind began to clear slightly.

Then, he heard his master’s voice.

"This thing is vicious and it’s still in pursuit. Return to the Sect at once. I will hold it back!"

"Master!"

Qin Fang snapped to his senses, looking in horror at his master’s War Gang Avatar.

"If this avatar is destroyed, my original body won’t know what happened here. Go! Tell my true self what occurred!"

His master roared and slapped Qin Fang on the back.

Qin Fang felt the yellow True Gang around him grow denser. The next moment, his entire body was uncontrollably flung forward, accelerating to an extreme speed.

His eyes widened in horror. He saw that in the instant he was sent away, several giant hands formed from a black liquid, like massive pythons, had already enveloped his master’s War Gang Avatar.

His master snorted coldly. The next moment, a brilliant yellow light erupted from his body. On the ground, countless lights from the Earth Veins surged, converging to meet the giant hands.

He could only see a violent, frenzied explosion of black and yellow light that nearly blinded him. He cried out and whipped his head around, only to find bloody tears streaming from his eyes!

’...What terrifying power!’

’What in the world is that?!’

Qin Fang was terrified but dared not linger for a second. Pushing his True Essence to its absolute limit, he flew desperately toward Lanyang City.

His master’s power lingered on his body. The quality of this True Gang far surpassed Qin Fang’s own True Essence. Although using the Kunyuan Nature to power Mirror Flower Water Moon felt strange, Qin Fang’s speed was far beyond his normal capabilities.

He became a streak of light, fleeing into the distance.

The distance to Lanyang City was great; normally, it would take him at least two or three days of flying to get there.

But with the boost from his master’s True Gang, his speed was many times faster than his own.

Great Cloud Marsh was just ahead, but several streaks of light were approaching rapidly from the front.

Qin Fang was stunned.

"Linyuan!"

A voice called out.

Qin Fang paused for a moment before quickly flying over.

The few streaks of light stopped in mid-air.

He took another look...

"Master?"

It was his master, Yue Guiyuan.

Then, Qin Fang was taken aback...

...because behind his master stood several other figures.

Upon seeing them, he quickly bowed and saluted. "Greetings, Sect Leader... and esteemed elders!"

’It’s actually the Sect Leader and several other Hall Masters!’

Sect Master Xuan Qiong’s gaze was heavy as he said in a low voice, "Your master said you were in danger and that his War Gang Avatar was destroyed. It must be a powerful enemy, so he had us come out to find you."

"Linyuan, what happened? What did you encounter?"

A sturdy, broad-shouldered middle-aged man with a composed expression behind the Sect Leader asked in a focused tone.

This person... was none other than Xing Wu, the Hall Master of the Nine Hell Lineage.

The Nine Hell Hall Master was tall, even a bit taller than Yue Shan, and stood like a mountain, exuding an immense sense of pressure!

’Even the Sect Leader and the other Hall Masters were mobilized?’

Qin Fang was momentarily stunned, but then a warm feeling spread through his heart...

’...Clearly, the moment my master sensed his War Gang Avatar was destroyed, he immediately went to get reinforcements to come to my aid.’

"Thank you, elders, for your concern... It’s like this."

Without any hesitation, Qin Fang recounted what had happened.

Including the fact that he had been searching the area for the past month.

When he finished his description, everyone was shocked. They looked at each other in dismay.

"Filthy energy... dense deathly energy... extreme resentful energy... doesn’t that correspond to the Three Religions?"

"The Path of Non-Birth was annihilated, and Huoxin fled after being wounded... I thought things would be quiet for a while. I never expected... they had already planted such a hidden danger here?"

"This must be related to the ultimate goal of the Three Religions!"

After the elders exchanged a few words with grave expressions.

"Linyuan, where is that dry well? Take us there."

Just from the description, they knew the situation was far from ordinary. The elders naturally decided they had to see it for themselves.

Qin Fang quickly replied, "Yes!"

He was about to lead the seniors to the dry well.

A gentle voice spoke up, "Your speed is too slow. I’ll carry you. You just need to point the way."

Qin Fang looked over. The one who had spoken was Jinghong Hall Master Han Lingxiao.

The Jinghong Hall Master appeared to be a middle-aged man in his forties. He was thin and handsome, but his eyes were as deep as the sea, giving him an unfathomable air.

But he spoke with surprising gentleness... which didn’t quite match his aura.

’...This is the one who once wanted to take me as his disciple.’

Just as Qin Fang was about to speak, his master’s voice cut in. "No need. I’ll carry my own disciple. You may be fast, but my Close But Far Away isn’t necessarily any slower."

Before Qin Fang could react, his master had already grabbed his arm and said coolly, "Disciple, point the way."

Qin Fang: "..."

Han Lingxiao was also stunned for a moment, then shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Senior Brother Yue, you don’t have to keep such a tight watch. With Linyuan’s Talent, he will inevitably have to cultivate my Timeless Instant in the future..."

"He is still my disciple."

Yue Guiyuan shot him a sideways glance.

Qin Fang: "..."

’Wait, isn’t this a crisis?’

’What are you elders bickering about?’

"Alright, you two. No one is trying to steal your disciple... Let’s get down to business."

It was Sect Master Xuan Qiong who couldn’t watch any longer and shook his head helplessly.

Only then, at his master’s repeated urging, did Qin Fang point back the way he had come.

The next instant, his master grabbed his arm. Before he even registered the feeling, the surrounding scenery dissolved into streaks of light.

When he came to his senses again, he found they were already deep within the mountains.

’...Haven’t we already traveled dozens of miles?’

He sucked in a sharp breath.
