Looking up, all around was a white Steaming Mist, within which were tangled vines and branches, with various strange plants growing here. The green leaves obscured the sun, and the glaring sunlight could not penetrate even a little. Only the continuous sound of Cicada Song filled the area, making it exceptionally quiet and deep.
In the center of this swamp, a White Lotus stood alone like White Jade, forming a stark contrast against the surrounding gray mist. It emerged untainted from the mud, washed clean yet not alluring, without sprawling branches, standing tall and independent, exuding a natural aura of purity.
Suddenly, a blue figure flashed from afar. The figure darted swiftly like a white crane passing through the air, instantly covering several feet in distance, leaving behind an Azure Figure.
With a light step on a Lotus Leaf, the person soared again into the air, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate. With a gentle pinch of the right hand, they grasped the stem of the White Lotus. The Light and Graceful figure performed another flip in mid-air, holding the White Lotus in hand, and in the blink of an eye appeared at the edge of the swamp.
"I didn't expect to find the legendary Azure Cloud Lotus here. It seems that fate is truly on my side. Even if I don't go to the second or third levels, this trip has been worthwhile..." The words revealed a strong sense of surprise. Only then did it become clear that this Qingyi person was actually a charming young woman, her skin as smooth as cream and her demeanor as delicate as an orchid. Although she couldn't compare to Han Xinrao or Zhuang Ruoxuan in beauty, her appearance was certainly remarkable.
Looking at her attire, her sleeves were embroidered with a purple-winged bird ready to take flight, which was the emblem of the Yin Lei Sect. Clearly like Han Xinrao, she was also a disciple of the Yin Lei Sect.
“Sister Xiaoyun, help me…” A hurried call echoed from afar. The Qingyi woman was startled and immediately stuffed the Azure Cloud Lotus into her Storage Scroll.
On a distant hillside, a four-legged beast appeared. It was less than ten feet long and resembled an ordinary steed. Its body was pure white like snow, devoid of any ferocity typical of beasts. A brown horn grew from its head. When it ran, it was remarkably agile and looked extremely majestic; however, its eyes were filled with fatigue as if it had been running for dozens of hours.
Upon seeing this beast, the Qingyi woman immediately recognized it as the famous Brown-Horned Pegasus. Once fully grown, it could fly through clouds at incredible speed; however, this Brown-Horned Pegasus was still in its juvenile stage and had yet to grow its wings, so its running ability had not reached even one-tenth of its potential.
But what caught her attention was not just the Brown-Horned Pegasus, but rather the person on it. Dressed in a black gauze gown that was torn in several places, exposing her snow-white skin with several alarming scars on her arms where crimson blood slowly flowed. Her delicate face was pale as snow, and her alluring eyes were filled with panic; she looked utterly disheveled.
“Senior Sister Xinrao…” The Qingyi woman gasped in shock, covering her mouth in disbelief. She never expected that the person on the back of the Brown-Horned Pegasus would be none other than Han Xinrao, the prized girl of the Yin Lei Sect.
Even she could tell that Han Xinrao was clearly fleeing for her life. Although she did not know who was pursuing her, being able to force such a distinguished girl into such a state surely meant they were not easy to deal with. Should she help her or flee? In that moment, uncertainty filled the heart of this Qingyi woman.
Although they belonged to the same Sect, Han Xinrao was extremely arrogant in her daily life, and naturally, there were no feelings between the two. If it was just a little busywork, she wouldn't mind helping out, but if there was a risk to her life, she wouldn't bother.
"Sister Xiaoyun, help me hold him off for a stick of incense's time. After I get out, I will teach you the Sect's secret technique, Yin Lei Heart Method..." Han Xinrao was very clever and immediately noticed Xiaoyun's hesitation. Without any hesitation, she promised a benefit. The Yin Lei Heart Method was one of the three major secret techniques of the Yin Lei Sect, and only core disciples like Han Xinrao were qualified to practice it.
"Words are not proof; how can you guarantee that you won't go back on your word..." Upon hearing Han Xinrao's promise, the girl named Xiaoyun immediately showed an expression of wild joy.
"I swear... if I, Han Xinrao, go back on my word, I will be struck by ten thousand lightning bolts and die... Hurry, Sister Xiaoyun, it's him! Hold him off for a stick of incense's time... Zheng Er from the Beast Taming Sect was also harmed by his schemes; he is a murderer..."
Following closely behind Han Xinrao was a White Figure that appeared on the hillside. However, he did not ride a beast but instead pursued closely on foot after the Brown-Horned Pegasus. As he ran, several phantoms emerged; upon careful counting, there were as many as seven.
He was none other than Sun Zhe, who had rushed after them earlier. Although he had searched for some time and finally spotted Han Xinrao's figure, he did not expect that she had somehow obtained a life-bound beast. With the Brown-Horned Pegasus as her mount, Han Xinrao's speed was not inferior to his at all.
The moment Han Xinrao saw Sun Zhe appear, her expression changed drastically again. She quickly finished her oath and even revealed that Sun Zhe had killed Zheng Er, insidiously dragging Xiaoyun into the mess.
After finishing this, she immediately urged her Brown-Horned Pegasus to dash past Xiaoyun.
"I don't know what grievances you have with my senior sister, but..." The girl named Xiaoyun clearly still felt swayed by Han Xinrao's words. As soon as Han Xinrao passed by, she immediately blocked the road and coldly spoke to Sun Zhe. However, before she could finish her sentence, she was met with a terrifyingly large Sword Aura.
The purple Sword Aura flickered in and out of existence, filled with a terrifying violent aura. Seeing this Sword Aura made Xiaoyun's face change instantly; such power from just a casual strike indicated that this person's cultivation was too frightening. A hint of regret suddenly arose in her heart.
But it was already too late. At that moment, the White Figure flashed before her and managed to strike before the Sword Aura fell. A massive fist directly slammed into her chest; she had no time to react at all. The violent Thunder Spirit Power surged into her body instantly, causing her meridians to shatter one after another and her heart veins to collapse in an instant!
"People die for wealth; birds die for food. Remember this next time..." Just before dying, Xiaoyun heard these faint words lingering in her ears before her eyes plunged into darkness.
The White Figure flashed by, taking her Storage Scroll along with it. Poor Xiaoyun had just obtained the Azure Cloud Lotus and had not even warmed it before it fell into Sun Zhe's hands. After Sun Zhe left, a purple Sword Aura slashed down, followed by a loud Explosive Sound, Gone Without a Trace, which also prevented it from falling into the hands of birds and beasts.
Hearing the Explosive Sound, Han Xinrao's eyelids twitched slightly, and she immediately turned to look back. However, the scene before her caused her expression to change once again.
Xiaoyun's body fell straight down, while Sun Zhe's figure chased after her again. Several illusory figures emerged, and Sun Zhe closed the distance between them once more.
"I'll go after you; you can't escape!" Sun Zhe's eyes flashed with killing intent as he coldly shouted. Now, it was not only to cover up Zheng Er's cause of death that he wanted to kill her; her selfishness, disregarding the lives of her fellow disciples, also made Sun Zhe feel somewhat disheartened. Along the way, three or four fellow disciples had already been harmed by her. If such a person escaped, how could she not exhaust all efforts to take revenge on him?
Feeling the lack of spiritual power within him, Sun Zhe casually took out a bottle of elixir from the stolen Storage Scroll and poured it directly into his mouth. Due to the strength of Thunder Body, the violent medicinal power was forcefully absorbed by Sun Zhe. Although much of the medicinal power was wasted, it quickly replenished his internal spiritual power.
"How has this calamity star become so strong? That Xiaoyun couldn't even hold out for half a stick of incense; what a waste..." Han Xinrao had not expected Xiaoyun to stop Sun Zhe; she only hoped that Xiaoyun could delay him for a while so she could shake off this relentless calamity star. However, she did not expect the battle to be so brief.
Seeing Sun Zhe swallow another elixir, Han Xinrao was even more frightened as her eyelids twitched violently. She had never seen someone consume elixirs like this before. Looking at her already exhausted Brown-Horned Pegasus beneath her, she realized that if this continued, it would likely be her Brown-Horned Pegasus that couldn't hold on first. In an instant, a sense of despair arose in her heart once again.
