Hong Chi touched his head and pouted, but had no choice but to follow Ling Mo Xie as they changed direction and chased after Bai Yunfei and Luo Yan.
This time, Ling Mo Xie, having learned from the previous experience, checked the map every time they covered a certain distance to see Bai Yunfei's location, so as not to miss them again.
"Is this the place? Why don't I see anyone?" Ling Mo Xie murmured softly while looking at the system map, turning around to look everywhere.
Having learned from the last lesson, Hong Chi cast a suspicious glance at Ling Mo Xie but said nothing, focusing on eating the candied hawthorn in his hand.
"Boss... Boss!" A faint voice called out, and Ling Mo Xie quickly turned to look in the direction of the sound.
"We're over here!" Suddenly, a hand reached out from the originally flat ground and pulled Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi down.
Ling Mo Xie instinctively wanted to scream but quickly covered his mouth.
"Bang!" Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi fell to the ground. Ling Mo Xie stood up and looked around; it was a large hole with damp, irregular soil around it, likely blasted out by someone.
"Boss, how did you end up here?"
At that moment, Bai Yunfei walked up to Ling Mo Xie and asked him in confusion.
Ling Mo Xie looked at Bai Yunfei in front of him, slapped his shoulder, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "I was about to ask you what happened! There are many people from Great Luo Sect searching for you outside!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yunfei shrugged with a frustrated expression: "It's all because of that guy Luo Yan! Making such a big commotion. If I were the leader of Great Luo Sect, I would have sent an even larger search party!"
"Oh right, where's Luo Yan?" Hearing Bai Yunfei mention him, Ling Mo Xie suddenly remembered and asked Bai Yunfei.
Bai Yunfei turned his head and glanced at a spot against the wall. "Look, he's over there!"
Ling Mo Xie followed Bai Yunfei's gaze and saw Luo Yan dressed in black leaning against a nearly black earthen wall, not very noticeable.
At that moment, Luo Yan had his eyes tightly shut, his breath somewhat unstable; only his cold expression seemed even colder.
Ling Mo Xie frowned and walked over a few steps. Bai Yunfei followed him with his arms crossed and said while looking at Luo Yan: "This guy caused quite a stir in Great Luo Sect, and he has also broken his seal. Luckily he has passed out now, and the evil Spiritual Energy within him is very weak; otherwise we might have already been captured by Great Luo Sect."
Ling Mo Xie nodded and took out several Small Red Bottles from his backpack to pour into Luo Yan's mouth.
The effect of the small red vial was immediate. Although his spiritual energy had not yet recovered, he woke up from his coma and opened his eyes.
"Lin Mo Xie?" Luo Yan stared at the person in front of him for a while before finally speaking. Then, a bitter smile appeared on his face, as if he were talking to himself or perhaps addressing Lin Mo Xie.
"It really is as you guessed; maybe I shouldn't have gone. At least I could have had beautiful memories, but now, it's all over. Everything is gone."
Luo Yan's gaze was distant; although he was looking at Lin Mo Xie, it seemed as if he were seeing far away into an unknown time and space.
After a long pause, he licked his dry lips and said, "I killed her with my own hands!"
Lin Mo Xie crouched down, placing a hand on Luo Yan's shoulder. He stared into his eyes for a while before suddenly smiling and saying, "She was just a woman who betrayed you. Isn't it unworthy to stop your steps for someone who has already disappeared? Don't you have other things to accomplish?"
A glimmer of realization flashed in Luo Yan's eyes. Just as he was about to say something, the cover of their hiding place was suddenly lifted.
"Here! That Evil Cultivator is here! And there are a few accomplices!" A loud shout came from above. Lin Mo Xie squinted up to see a disciple from the Great Luo Sect in the Heart Moving stage.
Bai Yunfei exclaimed, "Oh no! We've been talking for too long and haven't changed our position."
"Don't worry. The disciples of the Great Luo Sect are searching separately; we can fight our way out!" Lin Mo Xie said as he looked up, squinting his eyes, while summoning Big White.
"Awoo!" Big White let out an angry howl, and the loud shouting disciple fell to the ground instantly, motionless.
"Luo Yan's injuries haven't healed; he can't use spiritual power. You take him!" Lin Mo Xie turned to Bai Yunfei and said, while he leaped up and landed on the ground.
Hearing the previous shout, many disciples from the Great Luo Sect began running over. However, since they were only nearby searching disciples, their cultivation levels weren't very high; the strongest among them was only in the Heart Moving stage.
"Whoosh!" Seeing those disciples approaching, Xiao Chi was the first to act. Having already used one skill earlier, he now unleashed his last skill: Fiery Rain.
Countless red droplets of light fell from the sky like rain. As soon as these raindrop-like lights touched a person, they instantly ignited into raging flames.
Numerous Golden Lights flashed; these were the defensive spells of the Great Luo Sect disciples.
Lin Mo Xie wore a calm smile and said, "We don't need to get entangled with them; we should leave here quickly to avoid attracting those powerful experts from the Great Luo Sect."
"Awoo!" Big White howled in agreement. With that, about ten people suddenly fell down; this was an upgraded version of the Soul Snatching Tiger—a group attack version called "Soul Snatching Tiger."
Bai Yunfei looked at the gap in the encirclement created by the attacks of Hong Chi and Big White against the disciples of the Great Luo Sect. He picked up Luo Yan and casually said, "Then I'll take my leave first!" With that, he transformed into a gust of wind and rushed toward the opening.
The disciples of the Great Luo Sect were aware of Bai Yunfei's incredible speed, and they reacted quickly. Before Bai Yunfei could reach the gap, several spells were cast toward it.
Ling Mo Xie, who was leisurely watching the battle between Hong Chi and Big White, narrowed his eyes. He unleashed several skills targeting the nearby disciples of the Great Luo Sect beside the gap.
"Glimpse of the Stunning Swan... Flying Immortal Sword... Slash the Sea... Shattering the Sky..."
In an instant, the health points of those disciples were depleted, and one by one, they turned around with pale faces, blood gushing as they fell.
Without needing Ling Mo Xie's reminder, Bai Yunfei nodded at him and immediately dashed through the newly opened gap.
A smile appeared on Ling Mo Xie's face as he continuously unleashed skills, causing the disciples of the Great Luo Sect to fall like wheat being harvested.
"Boom!" From a distance, a fierce attack came rushing toward Ling Mo Xie. Fortunately, he reacted instantly and used a Fire Clone to evade, only losing a small amount of health points.
"Is that someone from the Golden Core Stage?"
"Big White! Hong Chi! Let's go!" Ling Mo Xie quickly shouted to Hong Chi and Big White before bursting out of the encirclement formed by the Great Luo Sect disciples, chasing after the direction where Bai Yunfei had previously left.
