Elder Qin played the guqin in the air. A terrifying musical storm enveloped the vast space and faced the pursuing army.
Seeing this, Minister Hua sneered. His senior brother was asking for death.
"Continue the chase. Leave him to me," said Minister Hua. Said Minister Hua. Then, he walked towards Elder Qin, stepping into the terrifying musical storm. At that moment, Elder Qin's music could no longer continue. He had probably reached his limit.
Elder Qin didn't care and continued playing. The musical storm swept through the sky. Then, the guqin formed by the Life Spirit actually flew into the air and left Elder Qin's hand.
However, a shocking scene appeared. The uncontrolled guqin floating in the air was still playing as if it could play by itself.
Beams of illusory light flew out from Elder Qin's body. Each beam was like an illusion of Elder Qin. They kept merging into the Guqin Spirit.
The Guqin Spirit floated in the sky.
The strings of the zither danced freely, and the sonorous sound reverberated between the heavens and the earth. The terrifying sound wave power enveloped the entire space, and no one could escape its range.
The Headmaster of the School of the Emperor Star, Yan Shao, and Han Mo, who had wanted to continue chasing, both stopped and looked in the direction of Elder Qin. Elder Qin sat there with his eyes closed, looking very peaceful. However, above his head, the Guqin Spirit was still playing. The sound of the guqin kept burrowing into their ears. The sound of the guqin, which could not continue to rise, rose again and became more and more frightening.
They couldn't continue the chase and had to concentrate their spiritual energy to resist. Otherwise, the consequences would be terrible.
Even someone as powerful as Minister Hua stopped at this moment. Looking at the Guqin Spirit playing by itself in the air, he finally understood what Elder Qin wanted to do.
He was sacrificing himself for benevolence.
He was using his own life to play this last piece.
As the zither music continued to grow louder and louder, some people revealed pained expressions and held their heads with their hands. Then, some people coughed up blood, their faces pale. Some people who were not strong enough directly fell to the ground, their bodies twitching in pain.
Only the strongest few could resist this zither storm.
The musical notes formed by the Life Spirit were still dancing. They kept destroying the strong cultivators below, making them lose their ability to fight.
On the Guqin Spirit, the dancing notes seemed to transform into an illusory figure of an old man. He walked towards Minister Hua and Nandou Tai step by step.
Between the Guqin Spirit and Nandou Tai, many illusory figures of Elder Qin appeared. Along with the musical notes, they headed straight for Minister Hua and Nandou Tai.
Minister Hua closed his eyes. A terrifying spiritual storm turned into an unstoppable sharp sword, trying to erase the many shadows. However, the shadows were imbued with Elder Qin's cultivation and spiritual energy. They continued walking towards Minister Hua and Nandou Tai step by step.
Finally, the shadows walked to Minister Hua and Nandou Tai, causing their hair to dance wildly in the wind. In the next moment, the shadows walked to their bodies and entered their minds.
The strings of the Guqin Spirit were still beating violently. Minister Hua and Nandou Tai both closed their eyes as if they were resisting something.
"Pu!" After what seemed like a long time, Nandou Tai spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt weak all over and actually fell to the ground.
Then, Minister Hua also grunted and spat out blood. His face was as white as paper and his body was slightly bent. Although he was in a better state than Nandou Tai, he was not much better.
"Boom." There was another explosion. Minister Hua retreated continuously and spat out another mouthful of blood. He barely supported himself and didn't fall.
"Bang …" As if deliberately prepared for Minister Hua, the last sound of the guqin reverberated in Minister Hua's mind. His body finally fell to the ground and his clothes were dyed red with blood.
As Minister Hua, he didn't even have time to release his strength and was forced into such a miserable state by Elder Qin, even though Elder Qin was playing with his life.
Finally, the beating strings gradually stopped. Then everyone saw that the Guqin Spirit actually disintegrated by itself, turning into rays of light and disappearing in the world as if it had never existed.
The sound of the guqin completely disappeared.
Looking at Elder Qin again, he sat there quietly. His expression was calm and serene like a statue.
"He's already dead. Continue the chase," Minister Hua said coldly. Although Yan Shao and Han Mo were slightly injured, Elder Qin's last attack did not land on them. Thus, they continued to chase forward. Behind them, Xia Feng also rushed over with his people. Seeing the scene below them, he was stunned.
"Go after him," Minister Hua ordered.
"Yes, Minister Hua." Xia Feng nodded and continued the chase.
After they left, Minister Hua stared at the statue-like figure with a complicated expression.
"Senior Brother, I don't like you and you're too indifferent. However, I didn't expect you to be so brave in your old age. I will remember your song today," Minister Hua said. Looking at the figure of the elder, he said, "Unfortunately, your death can't be exchanged for their lives. They can't escape."
With that, Minister Hua sat down to heal. Not far from him, Nandou Tai also sat there. His face was still pale. Before Elder Qin died, he chose to use all his power to attack the two of them. He probably wanted to keep the two strongest people alive.
However, Yan Shao and Han Mo weren't ordinary people. Plus, the army led by Xia Feng was unharmed.
Just as Minister Hua thought, the School of the Emperor Star could suppress the other six schools of Donghai Academy. Headmaster Yan Shao and Han Mo weren't weak. Wind sorcery wrapped around them and allowed them to chase as fast as they could. Even the crane wasn't as fast as them. The crane's cultivation wasn't as high as Yan Shao's.
Standing on the crane's back, Yi Xiang saw Yan Shao and Han Mo catch up and guessed something. He said, "Go. Don't worry about me."
"Senior." Ye Futian looked at Yi Xiang.
"Don't think I'll die for you. If I can't win, I'll leave. Good luck," Yi Xiang said and walked back. Hearing this, Ye Futian felt a bit more at ease. Although Yi Xiang had a bad temper, he was a very smart person. He should always know how to make the best choice.
Behind them, Yan Shao and Han Mo saw Yi Xiang walking over. Both of them split up and didn't stick together. Obviously, they had learned their lesson from chasing Elder Qin. They couldn't be held back by both of them. If Yi Xiang wanted to stay, only one of them could stay.
Yi Xiang cursed in his heart. These two cunning fellows.
He walked towards the headmaster of the School of the Emperor Star, Yan Shao, without any hesitation. Yan Shao was stronger and specialized in the wind element. He could increase his and Han Mo's speed, so choosing Yan Shao would reduce the pressure on them.
"Yi Xiang, we haven't fought in many years," Yan Shao said when he saw Yi Xiang walking toward him.
"We have a chance today." Yi Xiang stepped forward and walked toward Yan Shao. Without hesitation, he started fighting.
Ye Futian could only rely on himself. If he was stopped by the two, it would be even more dangerous.
Han Mo continued to chase. Soon, Xia Feng also arrived with his people. They only glanced at Yan Shao and Yi Xiang's battle and ignored them. The people they wanted to kill were still ahead.
"I'll go first," Xia Feng said. Xia Feng said. He rode on his sword at an extreme speed and chased after the crane. Not long after, he met up with Han Mo and chased after the crane in front of them.
The flying crane stopped and turned its head to look at Ye Futian and the other two on its back. It let out a few long cries. Ye Futian seemed to understand what it meant and asked, "Senior, are you asking us to leave?"
The crane nodded. Ye Futian glanced at Nandou Wenyin and saw her nod at him.
"Senior, take care," Ye Futian said. Nandou Wenyin, Ye Futian, and Hua Jieyu continued forward. As soon as they stepped down, the crane flew toward Han Mo and Xia Feng.
The crane's cry was extremely loud. It turned into a sound wave attack that shook Han Mo and Xia Feng's eardrums.
"Go after them," Han Mo said and walked toward the crane. Han Mo said as he walked towards the crane. Xia Feng nodded and wanted to go around it, but the crane flapped its wings and the cry of the crane sounded again. At the same time, it flapped its wings and instantly appeared in front of him, its sharp claws grabbing towards him.
"Evil creature." Xia Feng charged forward with his sword, but the crane dodged his attack and chased after Han Mo, trying to delay the two of them.
Han Mo and Xia Feng both frowned. At that moment, Xia Feng's subordinates caught up. Xia Feng ordered, "Go after them."
Then, he and Han Mo surrounded the crane from the front and back, preventing it from helping.
The army passed by and continued to press forward. Now, only Nandou Wenyin and the other two were left. The elites of the East Sea Prefecture could easily wipe them out. Nandou Wenyin, the only one who posed a threat, would not be able to stop them. Therefore, Xia Feng was very relieved.
Just as they expected, Nandou Wenyin and the others didn't get far before they were stopped.
The three stopped. Nandou Wenyin looked at Ye Futian beside her and said, "Take Jieyu and leave."
"It's useless." Ye Futian, who was still holding Hua Jieyu, shook his head. They had been running, but in the end, they were still too weak and had too few people. The enemy kept chasing and eventually caught up with them. At this moment, it was impossible for them to escape.
Nandou Wenyin also understood. Were they going to die here today?
