The men emerging from the Spellcaster's Palanquin displayed evident cowardice, revealing that their relationship with the woman was not as imagined. If Ye Feng and the Flying Spirit Lion were present at that moment, they would undoubtedly be astonished, for these individuals actually recognized her.
The few who were questioned by her were disciples who had escaped from the Evil Cult. Under the protection of the Qin Protector, they had narrowly escaped death, only to be intercepted by the woman before they could leave Yue Ma Plain. To save their lives, they had no choice but to divulge all the information they knew.
To keep her secrets hidden from others, this Spellcaster temporarily concealed them within her Palanquin. The encounter with Ye Feng and the Flying Spirit Lion was entirely accidental.
Faced once more with the woman's inquiries, the Evil Cult disciples could only nod desperately, not daring to entertain any thoughts of resistance.
The woman smiled lightly, seemingly not doubting their intentions, and continued to ask, "So, do you know what he went out for?"
"This... this..." This was beyond what these low-ranking Evil Cult members could know. They hesitantly replied, "We aren't too clear on that; this is all we know!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the Eerie Woman raised an eyebrow slightly, appearing displeased, which immediately silenced the Evil Cult disciples in fear.
"Since that's the case, it seems you are of no use to me anymore. Do I still need to keep you around?"
"I... we!" Indeed, this woman was not one to be trifled with. Whether she would kill these remnants of the Evil Cult or simply let them go, it was certain that they would be discovered by other Rogue Bandits. The various factions on Yue Ma Plain, while not in outright conflict, would certainly pose a lethal threat if confronted by multiple Rogue Bandits.
"You said that as long as we tell you what you want to know, we can save ourselves!" one disciple finally mustered the courage to say.
The Eerie Woman merely smirked and replied coolly, "That is only if your information is useful to me. Knowing that guy went out but not what he is doing is worthless to me. If you can't provide anything more useful, then get lost!"
"You!" The disciples were filled with righteous indignation; her shamelessness exceeded their expectations. Telling them to leave was tantamount to condemning them to their fate!
Perhaps unwilling to accept this outcome, one bold disciple stepped forward and said, "We know more than that; however, you must take us to the edge of Yue Ma Plain. Once we reach a safe location, we will naturally tell you everything!"
Upon hearing this, the Eerie Woman paused in surprise. She narrowed her eyes as if trying to discern something from the speaker's gaze. Yet even with her keen sight, she found no hint of deception. Thus, she smiled charmingly and said, "You should have said so earlier!"
Hearing her loosened tongue, several disciples of the Evil Cult breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if this woman had forced them to speak right now, they might not have been able to resist. However, what information they wanted to expose was still unknown!
The moonlight deepened, and at the same time, Ye Feng and the Flying Spirit Lion, who had chosen a different direction, quickened their pace to distance themselves from their previous location. However, in a place with a broad view, they still stopped.
"Do you really trust that woman?" The Flying Spirit Lion clearly had deep suspicions about the Spellcaster in the Palanquin. If it weren't for her profound strength, he would have acted long ago!
Ye Feng held a different opinion. In his view, the competition on Yue Ma Plain was like a large dye vat; all kinds of people and goods were present. If one wanted to survive in this dye vat without being infected, one must listen to various elements!
Although he was quite curious about whether the mastermind behind the Rogue Bandits was that woman, one thing was certain: these people's goals were unified—the treasure within Titan's Abyss!
However, it was quite ridiculous that these individuals had spent so much time here yet gained nothing. Whether it was the Evil Cult occupying the Underground Palace or the group of Rogue Bandits, they seemed to be wary of each other but failed to uncover the secrets of this Underground Palace!
Ultimately, the biggest winner here turned out to be Ye Feng, this latecomer! Perhaps the credit for providing him with the map belonged mostly to Haotian Shura True Monarch's Avatar, but Ye Feng was still puzzled—hadn't that Avatar found suitable individuals to assist him over the years?
Even though he wanted to share this question with the Flying Spirit Lion, he knew that this guy's relationship with that person wasn't great, so he held back! Then he surveyed the surrounding environment. If he wasn't mistaken, they were currently in the northwest direction.
At this speed and direction, it would take them another half day to leave this plain—this was several times longer than their time entering it. However, there was no way around it since they had entered through the entrance of the Underground Palace and were already deep within the plain!
"Are you still thinking about that woman? In my opinion, forget about her. Instead of blindly walking down a potentially dangerous path, it's better to choose anew. I don't want to take that risk. If you're worried she's leading us into a trap, there's no need!"
Ye Feng's assertive words only made the Flying Spirit Lion more frustrated. He hesitated and said, "Are you so sure?"
Ye Feng smiled and replied, "Some things become more entangled the more you think about them. It's not as complicated as you imagine. If she really wanted to trap us, why wouldn't she cleverly choose our path? This road is one we chose ourselves; what are you afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, the Flying Spirit Lion paused for a moment. After careful consideration, it did seem to be true; after all, perhaps he was just too sensitive or too distrustful of humans!
"Alright then, let's rest here for a while before continuing our journey!"
"En!"
The evening breeze blew gently, and the scenery of the plain was not bad at all. The vast, desert-like earth tones were dotted with patches of lush greenery. Ye Feng sat on the ground, enjoying the view for a rare moment, seemingly only able to pause and observe closely at this time.
The Flying Spirit Lion no longer appeared as curious as before. Although it had been imprisoned underground for ten thousand years, it showed no attachment to this world, content to lie on the ground and rest. Judging by its rapid breathing, it seemed to have exhausted quite a bit of energy in the previous battle.
Time passed slowly. Ye Feng did not disturb the creature's focus. Suddenly, he stood up and gazed into the distance, where Qianjizi and others had chosen their escape route. He then scanned several locations with noticeable activity; perhaps the Rogue Bandits had already arrived at the site of their earlier battle.
Based on the passage of time and calculations, they should be in a position to selectively pursue. Whether they would consider Ye Feng and his companions' current direction remained a mystery. He only knew that there should still be another group of Rogue Bandits ahead in the direction they chose.
If it were just an ordinary encirclement, Ye Feng wouldn't worry at all. No matter how fast a large group of Rogue Bandits moved, they could never catch up with them over a straight-line distance. This was the difference between realms; even if horses ran day and night, three days would still not be enough to pose a threat.
What concerned Ye Feng was that this group of Rogue Bandits was evidently very organized. If there were more Rogue Bandits in various directions ahead, they would only need to signal from the air. A signal visible from dozens of miles away would attract a large number of Rogue Bandits.
Moreover, those Rogue Bandits who discovered them would hinder their speed of movement, leading to a deadlock—caught between wolves in front and tigers behind.
As his senses returned, Ye Feng took a deep breath and nudged the Flying Spirit Lion, saying, "It's time to set off!"
The Flying Spirit Lion stood up, stretched its body, and nodded. Thus, they continued to sprint in a straight line, leaving behind shadows that even the wind could not catch—a manifestation of Martial Saint Realm's explosive power. In this contest of life and death, whoever ran faster would survive!
The night deepened, yet the activity on the plain was bustling. Rogue Bandits surged from all directions, beginning to form an expanding encirclement. The woman who claimed to be the Big Boss of the Rogue Bandits—a Spellcaster—did not join this contest; instead, she headed in another direction based on information from several Evil Cult disciples.
Meanwhile, the Big Boss of this group of Rogue Bandits was methodically issuing orders at the site where Ye Feng had fought earlier. The nearly ten-thousand-strong army quickly dispersed into several points and spread out. Just as Ye Feng had suspected, they were indeed using signal flares to communicate!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Explosive signal flares burst in the sky, blooming into beautiful fireworks that illuminated various factions' figures, highlighting their urgency!
"Senior, the Rogue Bandits are starting to move. Should we hide or hurry along?" Wang Wei asked Qianjizi as they traveled.
Behind Qianjizi, Liao Fan and the newly joined Thundercloud Step and Yangzi followed, with Zhu Feng bringing up the rear. As the leader of this hastily assembled team, Qianjizi held absolute authority. Even the elders of Taiyi Tower and Azure Thunder Sect, after being rescued and severely injured, had no right to speak in front of their juniors!
After all, it was these two who had put them all in danger!
"We can't stop! Ye Feng and the others have bought us this opportunity; we must seize it no matter what! Move at full speed in this direction. This night will be our last chance. As long as we can hold on until dawn, we will see the light of hope!"
Zhu Feng nodded from behind, saying, "That's right. As long as you keep pace and don't make any mistakes, we should be able to get out by noon tomorrow!"
The two of them worked well together, which somewhat reassured Wang Wei and the others. However, the other two Martial Saints were a bit dissatisfied!
Yangzi spoke first: "Brother Qian, look at us; we have both young and old with us. We can't just keep going without a break, can we?"
Thundercloud Step knew that stopping now wasn't ideal, but they had indeed exhausted too much energy during their battles and escape. Given their current physical condition, continuing to run recklessly could jeopardize their future cultivation!
"Thank you both for your generous help in saving us and our disciples. However, we really can't go on like this. Even if we could just stop for a moment to drink some water and catch our breath!"
What these two said was quite reasonable. However, Qianjizi coldly replied, "You can stop if you want, but we won't halt just because you do. As long as you can keep up with us from behind or avoid being caught by the Rogue Bandits, it's up to you!"
