Chapter 796 Luring Tiger Away
Rumble—
The violent earthquake immediately startled Yun Lintian, who was studying the runes on the Heaven Devourer Beast’s bone. He quickly looked in the east direction and saw huge mountains collapsing at the end of his line of sight.
He stood up and put away the table, chair, and concealing formation.
Swoosh!
Nantian Lingyan appeared beside Yun Lintian and looked into the distance with a frown between her brows. “That should be Situ Chaofeng’s domain. His group had contacted me earlier to say they had met a group of Red Skull pirates. I don’t think those pirates could force him to use the domain. There must be something wrong.”
Yun Lintian’s brows raised in surprise. Although he didn’t have a good impression of the Great Earth Sect, it didn’t mean he would stand still without doing anything. 𝐨𝘃𝗹.
“You stay here and notify everyone. I’ll go take a look.” As Yun Lintian finished his sentence, his figure blurred slightly and disappeared from the spot. He rushed toward the battle scene at full speed.
Nantian Lingyan quickly turned around and went to notify everyone.
Swish!
After traveling for a few minutes, Yun Lintian suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance. He remembered this person was a disciple of the Great Earth Sect.
The man, Ding Hui, who rushed toward Yun Lintian nonstop, abruptly halted his step as he seemed to feel like he was being watched by someone. When he glanced upward, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted. “Senior Brother Yun! I’m Ding Hui of the Great Earth Sect. Please help Senior Brother Feng!”
After confirming Ding Hui’s identity, Yun Lintian jumped into the front of the latter and asked. “What’s going on? Is it the Red Skull pirate group?”
“No! It’s the man in black! His strength is so terrifying. We are not his opponent at all. Senior Brother Feng is buying time for us to escape. Please save him!” Ding Hui’s eyes were red as he spoke in one go.
“The man in black?” A strange light flashed through Yun Lintian’s eyes as he repeated. “Lead the way!”
“Yes!” Ding Hui was delighted upon hearing this. He had completely forgotten the pain of losing his hand and hurriedly led Yun Lintian to Situ Chaofeng’s position.
“Tell me the way. You are too slow.” Yun Lintian saw that Ding Hui’s speed was too slow. He grabbed the latter’s arm and said.
“Around twenty kilometers in that way!” Ding Hui hurriedly pointed at the distance ahead.
Yun Lintian didn’t say anything further. He quickly activated Shadow Step and brought Ding Hui in the direction he pointed at.
Swoosh!
Two minutes later, Yun Lintian arrived at the battle scene that was now filled with debris everywhere.
“No! Senior Brother Feng!” Ding Hui roared in despair.
Yun Lintian opened Eyes of Heaven to scan the scene and quickly located a body under the debris. He pushed Ding Hui to the side and channeled his profound energy to drive all the debris away.
Soon, a body of an old man appeared in Yun Lintian and Ding Hui’s sights. Was this really Situ Chaofeng?
“S-senior Brother Feng!!” Ding Hui shouted in sorrow. He was familiar with Situ Chaofeng’s aura. Without a doubt, this person was Situ Chaofeng.
Yun Lintian glanced at Situ Chaofeng briefly and understood his situation. Situ Chaofeng must burn every ounce of his lifeforce in order to deal with the opponent. His action was decisive enough, but it seemed he failed to bring the enemy down in the end since there was no other person here.
“Senior Brother Feng!” One after another, Situ Chaofeng’s junior brothers returned to the battle scene and rushed to Situ Chaofeng’s side. Tears streamed down their cheeks upon seeing their respectable senior brother’s miserable appearance. They couldn’t help blaming themselves for being useless.
Yun Lintian let them cry for a while without disturbing them. Situ Yuanzhi and Situ Wuyou might be bad persons, but Situ Chaofeng was entirely different. His action of buying time for his junior brothers was praise-worthy.
A while later, Yun Lintian opened his mouth. “Alright, all of you should have cried enough. Now tell me about that person.”
Ding Hui sniffed and wiped the tears away. The sorrow in his eyes was replaced by a deep hatred. He couldn’t wait to tear Yin Xichen apart.
Ding Hui took a deep breath and began to explain. “This person has the ability to control the spatial element. We had no idea how did he appear before us. It was like he appeared out of thin air, just like that. And his technique… I don’t quite understand, but whenever he waved his hand, some spatial cracks were created and shot deadly black lights at us.”
“Spatial attributed practitioner?” Yun Lintian repeated the words to himself. In the next instant, his face changed drastically as he cursed. “Shit! We’ve been fooled!”
Ding Hui and the other eight were confused by Yun Lintian’s sudden change.
Yun Lintian shouted. “Take his body away and follow me now!” Afterward, he turned around and rushed back to the cave.
Everyone was startled for a moment and hurriedly carried Situ Chaofeng’s body, following Yun Lintian behind.
“Nantian Lingyan, do you hear me!?” Yun Lintian held the transmission jade and shouted anxiously. However, there was no response from the other side after waiting for a while. Yun Lintian was certain something must happen to Nantian Lingyan’s group at the moment. If he guessed correctly, they should have faced that man in black right now.
Unfortunately, Yun Lintian’s guess was correct. Currently, Nantian Lingyan and the others were standing in front of the cave, staring at a black figure before them. This person was naturally Yin Xichen.
“You are the one that took our sisters away?” Xue Qianqian asked coldly.
Yin Xichen laughed while shaking his head. “All of you are really the same. You can’t think of a better question?… Of course, it was me.”
At this moment, Nantian Lingyan’s transmission jade tied on her waist lit up. She glanced at it and was about to grab it. Instantly, a sense of danger emerged in her heart. Her instinct kicked in as she released a phoenix flame barrier around everyone.
Boom!
Deadly black light that appeared out of thin air directly collided with the phoenix flame barrier, producing a loud explosion.
