The moment Xu Zhen's words left his mouth, the expressions of the three elders instantly froze. They stared at Xu Zhen in disbelief, unable to regain their senses for a long time.
"Did you say … the Origin Emperor?!"
"The Origin Emperor can kill a Sourcerer? How is that possible?! "
"And an early Origin Emperor at that. Xu Zhen, even if this is an excuse, you should find a better one. How could a mere Origin Emperor kill a Sourcerer? Moreover, it was a four-star Sourcerer. Even an expert of the same level might not be able to kill him!"
The three elders were shocked by Xu Zhen's words, but they were also doubtful. They even snorted disdainfully. Ever since they had started cultivating, they had never heard of a Sourcerer being killed by a mere Origin Emperor. Furthermore, the difference in cultivation between Xiao Yan and Tang Long was enormous. How could the former have created such a shocking battle record?
"Three Elders, that Xiao Yan's fighting strength may be ordinary but he has grasped an extremely powerful Dou Technique. It was because he had used that Dou Technique that the Third Elder died. That Xiao Yan's body is currently seriously injured. The Holy Maiden of our sect is also following beside him. If we were to give chase now …"
Xu Zhen changed his tone. He placed his focus on the matter of chasing after Xiao Yan and the Holy Maiden. After all, it would not be a good thing for him if he spent too much effort on the matter of Tang Long's death.
The three elders immediately withdrew their thoughts when the Holy Maiden was mentioned. Now wasn't the time to debate whether this matter was true or false. Their main task was to find the Holy Maiden as soon as possible and bring her back to the sect. As for Xiao Yan, they would know what his cultivation was like when they met him.
Under Xu Zhen's guidance, the four of them quickly flew towards the north. The three elders were anxious to find the Holy Maiden, so they were naturally much faster. They shook off Xu Zhen and disappeared into the horizon in a few breaths' time. Behind them, Xu Zhen watched as the three of them disappeared, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a sneer.
"Hei, it is fortunate that they did not get entangled with the problem of Tang Long. Otherwise, it would really be troublesome. However, it is fortunate that Xiao Yan has helped us resolve this problem. Teacher, this time around, Xiao Yan will definitely die!"
"Hehe, don't be impatient. Xiao Yan is also an arrow at the end of its flight. They're carrying a seriously injured person, so they won't be able to run far. Let's catch up to them quickly. After all, the Heavenly Flame in Xiao Yan's hands is very useful to you. It's naturally best if you can obtain it."
The master and disciple communicated in their hearts for a while. Then, Xu Zhen revealed his true strength and chased after Ye Qingyu at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, the seriously injured Xiao Yan was being carried by the Little Fairy Doctor's group as they swiftly hurried to the location of the Tian Yun Villa. Although they could not be certain if there would be experts from the Crossing Adversity Sect chasing after them, it was best for them to reach the location of the Tian Yun Villa first. That way, their troubles would be greatly reduced. At the very least, they would be able to find a safe place to give Xiao Yan some time to recover.
However, with their current speed, it was likely that they would need quite some time to reach the Heavenly Cloud Villa. Moreover, it was hard to say what would happen during this period of time. For example … once the experts from the Du E Sect caught up with them …
The Fairy Doctor and the others didn't dare to think too much about it. They could only speed up, hoping to reach the Heavenly Cloud Villa before trouble came.
Half a day later.
Within the vast forest, the Little Fairy Doctor and the rest were currently seated in a rather secluded clearing. Other than Bai Hua, the rest of the group had completely retracted their auras into their bodies and were quietly resting. Bai Hua cautiously surveyed her surroundings on the branch of a towering ancient tree not far away. Her Spiritual Strength spread out as she carefully probed the surrounding environment. A moment later, she leaped down and returned to the group, nodding her head gently at the few of them.
Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the group. His face was pale, and the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time. In his body, waves of gentle medicinal power continuously flowed into his limbs and bones, repairing his damaged meridians. No matter how gentle the medicinal power was, the injuries in his body still caused Xiao Yan to feel a wave of pain.
The battle with Tang Long was the strongest opponent Xiao Yan had encountered since the battle at the Burning Flame Valley. A Four Star Source Sect was indeed not to be underestimated. If it wasn't for his powerful body, the protection of the Heavenly Flame, the Dragon Phoenix Ancient Armor, and the assistance of various medicinal pills, Xiao Yan would have had to pay an even more terrible price than Tang Long. Fortunately, he was still alive. However, the danger was not over yet.
From Tang Long's point of view, Xiao Yan could already understand that the Du E Sect seemed to place great importance on the Woeful Poison Body. Even Tang Long did not hesitate to pay the price of being seriously injured in order to bring Lian Er back. There was no need to mention the attitude of the other experts from the Du E Sect. If he did not find a safe place as soon as possible, it was likely that he would not be able to successfully leave this Middle Region's border, much less reach the Xiao clan.
"Phew …"
Xiao Yan slowly exhaled a breath of air. He endured the waves of pain that were transmitted from his body and once again consumed a medicinal pill. A thought immediately passed through his mind and a vast ocean-like Spiritual Strength swiftly spread out from between his brows like floodwater. By relying on his enormous Spiritual Perception, Xiao Yan was able to clearly investigate the situation around him and even further away.
However, just as Xiao Yan's Spiritual Perception spread out, his tightly shut eyes suddenly opened a moment later. His pale-white face instantly became ugly. He endured the intense pain within his body, hurriedly looked at Bai Hua, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing?
"Quickly leave this place. Someone is chasing us!"
Once Xiao Yan's words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present immediately changed. Their hearts, which had just calmed down, were lifted in an instant. They naturally did not have the slightest doubt toward Xiao Yan. Moreover, from the looks of Xiao Yan's expression, this person's cultivation was likely not weak. Therefore, it was likely that they would have to change places now.
"Damn it, this group of fellows are really fast!"
Bai Hua carried Xiao Yan on her back and leaped into the air. The Fairy Doctor's white face was also filled with worry. Her pair of beautiful eyes paused on Xiao Yan. Immediately, she pulled Lian 'er with one hand and leaped into the air. However, Li Bingrui hesitated. Looking at the four people in front of her, she hesitated for a moment before saying,
"Why don't you all leave first. I will lure them away."
After saying this, she was about to move.
"No, we are friends. If we are leaving, we will leave together!"
Immediately after, Bai Hua grabbed her wrist. She looked at Li Bingrui with a determined gaze. The latter sneered and said,
"Friends? Don't forget, I want to kill Xiao Yan. Would you still call someone who wants to kill him a friend? "
At the same time her voice sounded, a cold air suddenly appeared on Li Bingrui's delicate wrist. Bai Hua's hand trembled intensely. She involuntarily released her hand and took two steps back. Li Bingrui, on the other hand, moved her body and leaped into the air, intending to fly toward the south. It was also at this moment that Xiao Yan, who was on Bai Hua's back, suddenly opened his mouth and cried out:
"Li Bingrui, did you forget the letter your master left for you? She asked you to follow me, and not to send you to your death at this time! "
"I never said that I was going to my death, nor did I allow you to mention my master. If not for your serious injuries, I would have already killed you before they even caught up!"
Li Bingrui's expression abruptly turned cold in response to Xiao Yan's reprimand. Killing intent gathered in her eyes as she stared at Xiao Yan. Bai Hua could not help but frown when she saw this, the Genesis Qi in her body involuntarily began to circulate. On the other hand, Lian 'er was biting her red lips, a conflicted look on her pretty face. It was only at a certain moment that she took two steps forward and said in a meek voice,
"The one they want is me. Why don't you let me …"
However, before Lian 'er could finish her sentence, the four before her suddenly turned their heads and reprimanded her in unison.
"You are not allowed!"
