Chapter 10 – Senior Brother Chu won't run into anyone from the Divine Gang Sect, will he?
On the other side.
Wu Family Manor, a courtyard.
A robust cultivator sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly cultivating.
A quick look at /2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.
There was a wound on his left arm, surrounded by sword energy, which he couldn't dispel.
His face occasionally showed signs of pain.
He was Liu Zhenxiong, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator of the Wuji Sect and a direct disciple of the third Ancestor.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.
"People from the Divine Gang Sect are here?"
Liu Zhenxiong took out a token, infused it with spiritual power, and shouted in a low voice, "Disciples of the Wuji Sect, come to me."
The token of the Wuji Sect cultivators not only served as identification but also had the function of transmitting sound.
However, the transmission was limited; if the distance exceeded a thousand miles, it couldn't transmit sound.@@novelbin@@
Upon hearing this, disciples like Chen Ge and Wei Hua immediately rushed over.
In the small courtyard, more than a dozen Qi Refining stage cultivators gathered.
Liu Zhenxiong said in a low voice, "Two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from the Divine Gang Sect have appeared, likely targeting me."
Everyone was shocked.
Liu Zhenxiong spoke solemnly, "Xu Ming, Bai Feng, among all the Qi Refining stage disciples present, you two are the strongest. Each of you will lead half of the disciples and leave separately."
"I'll stay here for a while to cover your retreat."
The disciples were moved and immediately accepted the order, "Yes!"
Chen Ge and Wei Hua were assigned to Xu Ming's team.
As they packed their things, Chen Ge remembered something and felt a pang of anxiety, "Brother Chu just bought the Blood Transformation Formation and left not long ago. He might run into the Divine Gang Sect cultivators, right?"
Wei Hua sighed, "Hard to say. Let's hope he's lucky enough to avoid the Divine Gang Sect cultivators."
Xu Ming sneered, "Wasn't he worried about being a big target and didn't want to follow Uncle Liu? Why worry about him? If he dies, what does it have to do with us?"
Wei Hua frowned, "Xu Ming, we're all in the same boat now and should be united. Do you have such a big grudge against Chu Xuan that you still want to step on him at a time like this?"
Xu Ming snorted coldly, "It's none of your business what happens between him and me."
"Did you forget what Uncle Liu just said? I'm leading this team!"
Wei Hua gritted his teeth and had to remain silent.
Back when the Wuji Sect was still around, Xu Ming often competed with Chu Xuan for the tenth spot in the inner sect.
Being in the top ten of the inner sect meant having the chance to be noticed by the elders and possibly becoming a direct disciple.
However, although Xu Ming's realm was slightly higher than Chu Xuan's, he always lacked in strength.
He was defeated by Chu Xuan multiple times and was always ranked eleventh, just behind Chu Xuan.
Because of this, Xu Ming always harbored some resentment towards Chu Xuan.
Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and others were well aware of these matters.
"Bai Feng and his group will head east towards Falling Phoenix Mountain. We'll take the west side gate, bypass Red Lake, and hide in White Mang Mountain."
Xu Ming spoke calmly.
No demonic cultivator who survived until now was a fool.
When they arrived at Wu Family Manor, he had already guessed that righteous cultivators would come knocking sooner or later.
So he had long prepared an escape plan.
Falling Phoenix Mountain and White Mang Mountain were among the most remote mountains in Qinghe Prefecture.
Hiding in these two mountains, even if the Divine Gang Sect cultivators used a lot of manpower to search, they wouldn't find them for two or three months.
Of course, if the Divine Gang Sect directly deployed Golden Elixir stage cultivators, a sweep with their divine sense would reveal everything in the mountain range.
Anyone hiding would have nowhere to hide.
In that case, they could only resign themselves to fate.
However, most of the time, Golden Elixir stage cultivators wouldn't personally deal with a few Qi Refining stage juniors.
Firstly, they were worried about being secretly despised.
A dignified Golden Elixir stage expert dealing with Qi Refining stage juniors was undignified.
Secondly, the benefits weren't worth it.
If a Golden Elixir stage demonic cultivator hid in the mountains, the righteous Golden Elixir stage cultivators would definitely be the first to search.
"Let's go."
Xu Ming waved his hand.
Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and the other four immediately followed.
They had all disguised themselves and deliberately wore loose cultivator attire.
Not long after leaving Wu Family Manor.
The five heard the sounds of fighting behind them.
In the sky, there was the sound of spiritual artifacts clashing.
It was clear that Liu Zhenxiong was already fighting the two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from the Divine Gang Sect.
The battle was intense.
"Hurry, the sooner we leave, the sooner Uncle Liu can escape."
Wei Hua growled.
Xu Ming nodded.
The five jogged along.
However, they had only gone seven or eight miles from the Wu family.
Xu Ming suddenly stopped and raised his fist, signaling the four behind him to stop as well.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ge asked, uncertain.
They were like frightened rabbits now, jumpy and on edge.
Xu Ming whispered, "My poison locusts saw that there are Divine Gang Sect disciples guarding the road ahead. We have to take a detour."
He had raised a type of Gu insect called poison locusts.
At first glance, they looked no different from ordinary locusts.
But when they swarmed in the thousands, they could inflict severe damage on enemies.
The poison locusts could also be used as scouts.
Before setting out, Xu Ming had already released a nest of poison locusts to observe the surroundings.
"Which way do we go?" Wei Hua asked.
Xu Ming gritted his teeth, "There are three Divine Gang Sect disciples guarding the direct west path to White Mang Mountain. We can only head south."
"South?" Chen Ge and the others were shocked, "That's the main entrance of Wu Family Manor, the main road! There are bound to be even more Divine Gang Sect disciples there!"
Xu Ming clenched his teeth, "We can only take it one step at a time now. If necessary, we'll slip through them.
Let's hope they don't notice us. Follow me."
Xu Ming waved his hand and set off first.
Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and the others exchanged glances and had no choice but to follow.
Lacking strength and backing, they could only scurry like rats crossing the street.
The five cautiously advanced for a while.
Gradually, they approached the flat main road.
Chen Ge whispered, "Brother Chu probably took the main road. I wonder how he's doing."
Wei Hua pondered for a moment, "Chu Xuan is skilled in disguise. Maybe the Divine Gang Sect disciples mistook him for a loose cultivator and detained him."
Chen Ge felt a pang of anxiety, "If that's the case, what should we do?"
Xu Ming sneered, "Do you want to expose yourselves to save him? Wishful thinking! You're barely surviving yourselves, and you want to save someone else? To save others, you must first save yourself!
Surely you understand that, right?"
Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and the others remained silent.
At this moment, Chen Ge suddenly noticed that the view ahead was opening up and whispered a reminder.
"Don't speak."
Xu Ming ordered in a low voice.
"Wait... why is there a smell of blood?"
Wei Hua was stunned.
Everyone was taken aback.
They suddenly saw three bodies lying quietly on the ground ahead.
Judging by their attire, they were clearly three disciples of the Divine Gang Sect.
Two of them were even decapitated.
Their eyes bulged, seemingly incredulous at their own deaths.
