Li Xuanfeng’s voice, like a deadly curse, echoed in Luo Qingchen’s ears."Surrender, and I might give you a quick death!"
Luo Qingchen’s forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat.
He knew that at this rate, they would be caught sooner or later.
He had to find a way to completely shake off this old man.
His gaze suddenly fell on a bottomless black chasm not far ahead.
The abyss exuded a terrifying attraction, as if linked to the Nine Netherworld Hell.
A bold thought emerged in his mind.
"Wan’er, hold on to me!"
Luo Qingchen shouted softly, and with one swift pull of Lin Wan’er, they charged towards the black fissure without hesitation.
"Not good! He’s going to jump off the cliff!"
Seeing this, Li Xuanfeng’s expression changed drastically, and he hastened his pace.
However, it was already too late.
The figures of Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er, at the edge of the chasm, leapt into the void and were immediately swallowed by the endless darkness and terrifying suction.
Li Xuanfeng stopped at the edge of the chasm, staring into the endless darkness below, his expression so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it.
This abyss of the Heavenly Desperate Cliff was a peril even for him to step into lightly.
Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er jumping down was nearly certain death.
"Hmph, consider yourselves lucky to have died quickly!"
Li Xuanfeng snorted coldly, unwilling yet had to give up for now.
He did not know that not long after he turned to leave.
On the cliff wall of the chasm, from an extremely hidden crevice, two figures quietly emerged.
It was Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er.
As it turned out, Luo Qingchen had only feigned a move just now, using the suction of the chasm as cover, and at the moment of descent, with his familiarity with the terrain and precise manipulation of the Chaos Star Force, he took Lin Wan’er into the hidden crevice he had previously discovered.
"That was close!"
Lin Wan’er patted her chest, still shaken, as she spoke.
Luo Qingchen’s face was also somewhat pale, as the series of extreme maneuvers had greatly taxed him.
"We are safe for now."
Luo Qingchen exhaled, speaking.
"However, we can’t stay here too long. We must quickly think of a way to meet up with Xiao Wan and then leave the Heavenly Desperate Cliff."
He knew that although Li Xuanfeng was temporarily deceived, he would not give up easily.
Moreover, what worried him more was.
He vaguely sensed that in the team that pursued them earlier, there seemed to be an aura that was both familiar and repulsive.
That aura was very similar to the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Fang Zhenxiong.
If Fang Zhenxiong had also personally come to the Heavenly Desperate Cliff, their situation would become even more dangerous.
He had to return to the Sect as soon as possible and explain everything to Sect Leader Xuan Yang.
Otherwise, should Fang Zhenxiong seize any incriminating evidence, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just as Luo Qingchen was contemplating.
Deeper in the Heavenly Desperate Cliff, a more intense tremor suddenly erupted.
Immediately after, a dazzling golden light beam shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire Heavenly Desperate Cliff.
Within that golden light pillar was a vast and sacred aura, incompatible with the Demonic Qi and Evil Qi of the Heavenly Desperate Cliff.
"What is that?"
Lin Wan’er gazed at the golden light beam in surprise, eyes filled with confusion.
Luo Qingchen’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
That aura, he was all too familiar with.
It was... the residual power of the Star Altar!
Could it be that the Star Altar has undergone another mutation?
Or has someone from the Sect already found the location of the Star Altar?
Either possibility signaled that the situation at the Heavenly Desperate Cliff would become more complex and chaotic.
And they, in this chaos, must find their own path to survival.
The golden light beam rising from deep within the Heavenly Desperate Cliff was like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up waves of turmoil.
Factions already searching for anomalies within the Heavenly Desperate Cliff were drawn by this sudden change, all converging toward the direction of the light.
Among them was the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Fang Zhenxiong.
At this moment, Fang Zhenxiong was leading a team of elite disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall, meticulously exploring a certain area of the Heavenly Desperate Cliff.
Previously, Li Xuanfeng had reported via Communication Jade Slip about the discovery of Luo Qingchen’s whereabouts and the suspicion of his collusion with Demonic Cultivators.
Hearing this, Fang Zhenxiong was overjoyed.
He had been worrying about finding an opportunity to completely remove Luo Qingchen, the thorn in his side.
Unexpectedly, the latter delivered himself on a silver platter.
Colluding with Demonic Cultivators, trespassing forbidden grounds, any one charge could lead to Luo Qingchen’s utter doom.
"Hmph, Luo Qingchen, there’s a road to heaven but you won’t take it; no gate to hell, yet you charge in!"
Fang Zhenxiong’s face twisted into a sinister cold smile.
"This time, I will ensure your complete annihilation!"
He immediately issued orders for his disciples to fully search for Luo Qingchen’s whereabouts.
At the same time, he "reported" the matter, embellishing it with exaggeration, to Sect Leader Xuan Yang, painting Luo Qingchen as a heinous traitor intent on overthrowing the Sect.
Just as everything was set and he prepared to personally capture Luo Qingchen.
The golden light beam appeared deep within the Heavenly Desperate Cliff.
"Hmm? What is that..."
Fang Zhenxiong stared at the beam containing the vast Star Force, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
He could sense the pure and powerful energy, far beyond any ordinary rare treasure.
Could there truly be some earth-shattering secret hidden within the Heavenly Desperate Cliff?
While he hesitated, a close disciple hurriedly arrived to report.
"Elder, we just received word, that rascal Luo Qingchen seems to be fleeing toward that golden light beam!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Fang Zhenxiong’s eyes flickered with cold intent.
"That audacious Luo Qingchen, at death’s door yet dares to covet such a rare treasure!"
"Relay my command, everyone, proceed immediately to the site of the golden light beam!"
"This time, he must not escape!"
With a wave of his hand, he led dozens of Law Enforcement Hall disciples, aggressively heading toward the direction of the golden light beam.
...
On the other side, having evaded Li Xuanfeng’s pursuit, Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er also noticed the anomaly of the gold light beam.
"Senior Brother, that light beam... it seems to be coming from the direction we found the Star Altar before."
Lin Wan’er said uncertainly.
Luo Qingchen nodded, his expression solemn.
"It’s most likely a residual force of the Star Altar, triggered and erupting again."
"Though I can’t tell whether it’s fortune or calamity."
A sense of unease stirred within him.
The secret of the Star Altar involved far too much.
If discovered entirely by the Sect’s higher-ups, it might lead to unpredictable consequences.
More importantly, given his sensitive status now, any connection with the Star Altar might make it indefensible for him.
"We must quickly find Xiao Wan and then leave this treacherous place."
Luo Qingchen said solemnly.
However, just as they were about to move.
Strong auras from all directions surrounded them.
Leading them was none other than the Law Enforcement Hall Elder, Fang Zhenxiong, brimming with murderous intent.
"Luo Qingchen, the elusive one finally reveals himself?"
Fang Zhenxiong’s voice was like the icicles of the harshest winter, piercingly cold.
His eyes, filled with malice and smugness, fixed tightly on Luo Qingchen as if wanting to tear him apart.
Behind him, dozens of Law Enforcement Hall disciples, each holding a magic artifact, looked sinister, clearly under orders to put Luo Qingchen to death.
Luo Qingchen’s heart sank to the bottom.
The thing he dreaded most had indeed happened.
Fang Zhenxiong, his greatest adversary, had finally decided to take action himself.
"Elder Fang, I hope you are well."
Luo Qingchen suppressed the turmoil within, speaking in a calm tone.
"Hmph, Luo Qingchen, don’t try to cozy up to this Elder!"
Fang Zhenxiong barked sharply.
