Chapter 1914: Following the Xuanyin Sect Members! 2

"Seeking wealth amidst danger... no, it’s survival amidst death!" Luo Qingchen quickly analyzed, "We know nothing about this place, and recklessly barging in will only be more dangerous. Since the Xuanyin Sect has set up a Transmission Array here, it shows they are relatively familiar with this area. Following them, at least we can find a way to leave these deep mountains. Furthermore..."He paused, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes. "The Heavenly Sword Sect just ambushed us, and we can’t let this go. By following the Xuanyin Sect, we might also find an opportunity to figure out what’s really going on."
The most important thing is that Transmission Array might be their only chance to quickly leave this land of strife! Although using the Demonic Path’s Transmission Array is extremely risky, it’s better than being trapped in these perilous mountains while facing pursuit from two factions.
"Alright..." Lin Wan’er saw that Luo Qingchen had made up his mind, so she said no more, just tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.
"Well... okay then." Although Su Xiaowan was scared, she trusted Luo Qingchen’s judgment more. She patted the turtle shell hidden in her chest, "Turtle shell, oh turtle shell, you must bless us and don’t let us get caught and made into soup by the demons..."
The three of them did not delay any longer, quickly tidying up the traces in the cave. Luo Qingchen used a Secret Technique to carefully erase their lingering aura, then identified the extremely faint traces left by the Xuanyin Sect and quickly pursued them.
An unexpected ambush shattered their brief tranquility of returning to their homeland and swept them into the swirling undercurrents of this primitive mountain range. The road ahead was uncertain, full of dangers, and the road home seemed longer and more twisted than imagined.
The mountain forest was silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind and occasional roars of beasts and chirping of insects.
Luo Qingchen and his companions were like three wisps of smoke, silently weaving through the dense forest. Luo Qingchen walked at the forefront, with his Divine Sense highly concentrated, capturing the extremely faint Xuanyin Sect aura in the air while remaining vigilant for any sudden movements around them. Under the operation of his Chaotic Power, their aura merged perfectly with the surrounding environment, making it extremely difficult to detect without deliberate investigation.
Lin Wan’er carried Bai Ling’er in the middle, her steps light. Her Heavenly Essence Spiritual Power was also restrained to the limit, ready to respond to any unexpected situations at any time. Su Xiaowan followed closely behind Lin Wan’er, her face taut, hardly daring to breathe. She clutched the turtle shell wrapped in cloth as if it were her only lifeline.
"Senior Brother Luo, those Xuanyin Sect people... seem to be moving fast," Lin Wan’er transmitted softly. They had been tracking for nearly an hour, and although the traces left by the other party were faint, they had never been interrupted, clearly traveling at full speed.
Luo Qingchen nodded slightly and replied through transmission, "They are eager to shake off the Heavenly Sword Sect’s pursuers and rush to the Transmission Array, so naturally, they dare not stop."
His Divine Sense extended forward along the traces left by the Xuanyin Sect, and suddenly, his brow furrowed ever so slightly.
In the mountain col a few miles ahead, he sensed several obscure spiritual fluctuations, one of which was the aura of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple who had ambushed them!
"Stop." Luo Qingchen raised his hand to signal, and the three immediately hid behind a dense thicket.
"What’s wrong?" Su Xiaowan asked nervously in a whisper.
Luo Qingchen made a gesture to silence, focusing on perceiving the distant situation.
In the mountain col, five members of the Xuanyin Sect were cautiously traversing, the expression of the leading Golden Core Stage elder growing more serious as he frequently glanced back. Several hundred meters behind them, three cyan figures were trailing unhurriedly — the cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect!
Besides the Golden Core Intermediate Stage cultivator who had ambushed Luo Qingchen, there were two more Golden Core Initial Realm cultivators, spreading out in a triangular formation, their auras obscured, clearly skilled trackers.
Cicadas caught by mantises, unaware of the oriole behind.
The Xuanyin Sect was eager to escape, the Heavenly Sword Sect in relentless pursuit, and Luo Qingchen and his companions became the unnoticed "orioles" further back.
"The Heavenly Sword Sect is catching up," Luo Qingchen briefly informed Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan, "There are three of them, and they’re not weak."
"What do we do then?" Su Xiaowan’s face turned pale, "Would they find us?"
"Not for now," Luo Qingchen monitored the distance and movements between the parties, "The Heavenly Sword Sect’s attention is all on the Xuanyin Sect, and we’ve hidden ourselves well. Right now... it’s our chance."
"Chance?" Lin Wan’er was a bit puzzled.
A barely perceptible arc curved at the corner of Luo Qingchen’s mouth: "While the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman profits. Let them fight for a while, we can seize the opportunity to approach and see if we can find a chance to get close to that Transmission Array."
He didn’t intend to intervene immediately. Neither the Xuanyin Sect nor the Heavenly Sword Sect were easy opponents. Reckless exposure would only bring trouble upon themselves.
The three of them patiently lurked, like the most seasoned hunters, waiting for the right moment.
The pursuit ahead seemed to have reached a critical point. The Xuanyin Sect apparently also discovered the pursuers and began accelerating without regard for consumption, even resorting to some Demonic Path secret techniques to stimulate their potential, dramatically increasing their speed.
The three from the Heavenly Sword Sect, seeing this, no longer concealed themselves. Their escape lights ignited, and three sharp sword lights like cyan rainbows cut through the air in pursuit!
"Demonic spawn of Xuanyin! Leave the ’Star Marrow,’ and you’ll be spared!" A clear but chillingly murderous shout echoed from afar.
"Star Marrow?" Luo Qingchen’s heart leapt at the sound of the name!
Star Marrow, a legendary supreme treasure, formed only after the core essence of a fallen star settles in a special environment over millennia! It contains incomparably pure Star Force and a trace of faint Star Origin, making it an invaluable material for cultivation, artifact refining, and Alchemy!
No wonder! No wonder the Xuanyin Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect would come to blows in this desolate mountain wilderness! A single Star Marrow is enough to tempt any Golden Core cultivator or even old monsters at the Nascent Soul stage!
"It’s actually the Star Marrow..." Lin Wan’er also apparently had heard of this item, a trace of astonishment flashing in her eyes.
"Wow! The marrow of a star? Isn’t that super valuable?" Su Xiaowan’s focus was always intriguing, her eyes seemingly brimming with shining Spirit Stones.
Luo Qingchen glanced at her, transmitting grumpily, "It’s valuable, but you’d need your life to spend it. Don’t forget, we’re hardly safe ourselves."
Su Xiaowan stuck out her tongue, not daring to say more.
The battle at the front erupted. Forced into a corner, the Xuanyin Sect had no choice but to counterattack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cold black Demonic Qi clashed fiercely with the sharp cyan Sword Light in the valley, echoing with thunderous roars. The light of Magical Treasures and the brilliance of Magic intertwined, illuminating the whole valley alternately bright and dark. The violent energy shockwaves spread outward, devastating the trees and rocks around them.
Though the Xuanyin Sect had the numbers, the leading Golden Core elder was already injured, and the other four Foundation Establishment Refining Stage disciples were clearly at a disadvantage against the three Golden Core Stage sword cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect. Known for their sharp attacks, the Heavenly Sword Sect sword cultivators coordinated seamlessly, their Sword Light weaving into fierce nets of sword energy, forcing the Xuanyin Sect to retreat, danger lurking at every turn.
"Elder! We can’t hold on!" A Xuanyin Sect disciple screamed in agony as a Sword Light cut off half of their shoulder, blood gushing.
"Useless!" The Golden Core elder cursed angrily, a fierce glint in his eye. He bit his teeth hard and pulled out a small, black banner covered in ominous runes from his bosom.
"Xuanyin Soul Searching Banner! Go!"
He spattered his Essence Blood onto the banner, chanting incantations. The banner swelled in the wind, unleashing countless ferocious black ghostly shadows with piercing wails and dense resentment, rushing towards the Heavenly Sword Sect trio!
"Hmph! Demon Evil Technique!" The leading Golden Core Intermediate Stage cultivator of the Heavenly Sword Sect snorted coldly, eyes full of fearlessness. He shook his Longsword, which resonated with a melodious hum.
