Chapter 1382: The young master of a certain hermit group? How did such a fool survive?
In the territory of the Zhuo clan, very few ethnic groups still maintain their human forms. It’s unclear which side they co from.
But right now, pondering these matters is pointless. The terrifying killing intent of the Zhuo clan’s elder is pressing down on us again.
Mu Yan glanced at the white-clad figure standing on the hill, clearly taken aback for a mont. Once she regained her composure, she turned to the other two.
The woman beside her wore a veil, obscuring her true face. However, judging by her faint outline, it was evident that she was not ordinary; her eyes sparkled like autumn water, radiating brilliance. The elderly man, slightly hunched, appeared frail, yet he exuded a profound aura, reminiscent of an abyss or an ocean.
The three figures before her did not seem to be mbers of the Zhuo clan; their features were indistinguishable from those of the human race.
In the immortal civilization, human races did exist, but their numbers were limited. Their cultivation thods differed from those of most ethnic groups in the immortal civilization, and they were incomplete, making it difficult for them to produce true powerhouses.
In such a remote galaxy, encountering a young man with a detached deanor, resembling a banished fairy, left Mu Yan montarily dazed and surprised. However, she quickly reminded herself that this was a critical mont; there was no ti for distractions.
Mu Yan swiftly approached Gu Changge and the others, activating the extrely precious space sacrificial talisman in her hand. It faintly pierced through the void, opening a spatial channel.
If you don’t want to die here, hurry and follow . Ti is running out, and there’s no room for hesitation.
After gritting her teeth and thinking quickly, she urged them to join her, determined to bring the three of them along.
The three figures in front of Mu Yan had unknown origins, and while they weren’t connected to her in any way, she didn’t want to leave them behind. It wasn’t in her nature to be indifferent when danger was right before her. If she hadn’t noticed them, it would have been different—but now, with the crisis looming, her conscience wouldn’t let her turn a blind eye. Her cultivation, after all, had always been grounded in principles she couldn’t ignore.
Her words ca quickly, and before the sound had fully reached their ears, Mu Yan had already arrived before Gu Changge, Ling Huang, and the Bone Ancestor. As she stood before them, the space sacrificial talisman in her palm began to glow, releasing an ancient, sacred aura. The vast void ahead shimred and warped, and a wide spatial passage started to form, reaching out toward a distant universe.
However, as she activated the talisman, the strain of her previous injuries beca apparent. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, evidence of her overexertion. This talisman was a rare and invaluable artifact she had stumbled upon by chance, but it had its limits—activating it for too long would be impossible. Still, Mu Yan pressed on, driven by her sense of duty, regardless of the cost.
Today, Mu Yan had already traversed ti and space nurous tis to evade danger, and the space sacrificial talisman she clutched was now riddled with cracks. It was clear that it would likely collapse completely after a few more uses.
Ling Huang, taken aback by the sight of this bloodied woman desperately trying to save them, felt a mix of surprise and discomfort. In a mont of crisis, Mu Yan had not only thought to save herself but also wished to protect innocents—an act of kindness that seed foreign to Ling Huang, who was accustod to a world of calculations and treachery. She glanced at Gu Changge, silently seeking his approval or guidance on how to proceed.
Gu Changge’s expression revealed a deepening intrigue. He hadn’t anticipated that this woman, endowed with unusual fortune, would go out of her way to offer them salvation. However, he chose not to voice his thoughts at that mont.
As Mu Yan reopened the space channel, her figure quickly vanished into its shimring depths. Without hesitation, Gu Changge stepped in after her, followed closely by Ling Huang and the Bone Ancestor, who also entered the temporal passage, united in their shared urgency to escape the impending peril.
At the mont the silhouettes of Gu Changge and the others vanished into the space channel, a terrifying giant hand, spanning the entire starry sky, ca crashing down. The overwhelming pressure from its descent caused the entire galaxy and the surrounding crystal planets to shatter and implode, quickly disintegrating into cosmic dust. Had they hesitated even a mont longer, they would have been reduced to re particles, lost in the obliteration of the starry expanse.
As Mu Yan followed closely behind Gu Changge, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, a slight smile gracing her lips despite the gravity of the situation. However, there was no ti for complacency; the murderous intent of the elder of the Zhuo clan still lood, tracking her aura and relentlessly pursuing them. The danger was far from over, and every instinct urged her to keep moving.
Currently, Mu Yan had no ans to dispel the killing intent that pursued her. She could only rely on the space sacrificial talisman, using it repeatedly to move swiftly from one starry sky to another, hoping the killing intent would eventually exhaust itself. Yet, uncertainty gnawed at her—she couldn’t tell whether her life would give out first or if the relentless force would tire.
Injured and in need of rest, she understood that without a chance to recover, her condition would worsen, risking the exhaustion of her life sources. The killing intent of a heavenly elder was formidable, capable of slicing through stars, breaking galaxies, and shattering the very fabric of the universe; its power was beyond her comprehension.
Fortunately, Mu Yan had faced nurous hardships and crises throughout her cultivation journey, and fear had no hold over her. She quickly composed herself, activated the space sacrificial talisman, and traversed through dozens of universes. Eventually, she discovered a concealed sanctuary, a hidden place where she could pause, rest, and begin to heal her wounds.
“It seems I won’t be able to use it more than a few tis…”
Mu Yan observed the cracked space sacrificial talisman, feeling a pang of distress. For her, this was an invaluable life-saving item, one that had rescued her countless tis in the past. Now, on the brink of collapse, it could only be activated a few more tis. If the killing intent of the Heavenly Elder of the Zhuo Clan found her again, she would be utterly defenseless.
Girl!
A voice broke her thoughts.
“You bring the three of us along so confidently, fleeing through various universes like this. Aren’t you worried that we might take advantage of your serious injury and seize your treasure?”
The voice belonged to Bone Ancestor, who regarded her with a piercing gaze.
“This rare treasure of yours is quite remarkable. It can open a space channel that traverses multiple large universes in an instant. Such a priceless item, if known to the world, would undoubtedly spark a bloodbath. Yet here you are, so freely using it in front of us. Are you testing us?”
At that mont, Mu Yan paused, caught off guard by his words. She had been so focused on escaping and healing that she hadn’t considered the potential threat her injury posed. The weight of his statent hung heavily in the air, reminding her that even in desperate tis, trust could be a fragile commodity.
A gentle and pleasant voice, like a clear spring flowing over jade, suddenly reached Mu Yan’s ears. Her body froze, and she turned her head sharply, her beautiful eyes—tinged with a hint of dark gold—widening in surprise.
She realized that Gu Changge and the others she had initially brought along were standing there leisurely. The speaker was the young man who had caught her attention before, exuding an air of a banished immortal. With a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, he asked with a slight chuckle, “You… you… Why are you still here?”
Mu Yan was montarily stunned, struggling to process the situation. It felt as though her thoughts had been caught in a whirlwind, leaving her montarily speechless.
What happened? Where’s the problem? Why are they still by her side?
Mu Yan’s mind raced with questions. She had assud that once they teleported to another universe, Gu Changge and the others would naturally separate from her. The terrifying killing intent she had been fleeing from wasn’t aid at them; as long as they escaped to another universe, they would be safe.
For a mont, Mu Yan was at a loss, trying to comprehend the situation. She had acted out of kindness, saving the three of them during her desperate escape, but she hadn’t fully anticipated the consequences. Had she been too hasty? In her frantic bid for survival, had she forgotten to remind them to “get off the car” along the way?
In the end, they had just followed her all the way there.
“It’s over…”
Mu Yan’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, struggling to accept the reality. Normal people would have distanced themselves from danger and sought safety elsewhere. Who would be foolish enough to follow her into such peril? Did they truly not grasp the horror of that killing intent, capable of obliterating a galaxy in re monts?
At that mont, Mu Yan found Gu Changge and the others to be rather foolish, especially since Gu Changge appeared to be the leader among them—young, handso, and seemingly capable. The veiled woman and the old man in the black robe looked at him with respect, yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that his judgnt was lacking.
“You three, why have you been following ? Didn’t you realize you should have left halfway?” Mu Yan asked, trying to keep her tone steady despite her irritation.
“It’s not that you said if we didn’t want to die, we should follow you? We did exactly that,” Gu Changge replied, a hint of surprise in his voice.
Mu Yan really wanted to roll her eyes at him; they seed all too eager to follow his lead without hesitation. Why would they trust soone they barely knew? In a world fraught with danger, one had to be wary of being deceived to the point of losing everything.
It seems he’s just a silly young master from so secluded group, accompanied by maids and servants, out for a little experience.
Mu Yan muttered under her breath.
As for Gu Changge’s earlier remark, she brushed it aside. Since he recognized the miraculous nature of her space sacrificial talisman, there was no need for him to vocalize it, as that would only heighten her suspicion. Moreover, if they had intended to snatch it, they would have acted by now. She had been in perilous situations before, and they had ample opportunities to make a move while she was on the run.
Mu Yan had reached her current position not rely through good fortune; her resilience and cunning had played significant roles in her survival.
In terms of judging people, Mu Yan considered herself quite accurate. No matter how advanced Ling Huang and Bone Ancestor were in their cultivation, they couldn’t help but react slightly upon hearing her mutterings. However, seeing Gu Changge’s calm deanor, they chose not to dwell on it too much.
“I didn’t expect you to be so… innocent. I must have forgotten to remind you to leave halfway; that was my oversight,” Mu Yan said, attempting to maintain a diplomatic tone. She carefully suppressed the urge to call them “stupid” and settled on “innocent” instead, knowing that being too blunt might hurt their feelings.
However, with the situation at hand, Mu Yan realized she had no choice but to help them. If Gu Changge and the others remained by her side, they would inevitably attract the deadly intent of the Heavenly Elder of the Zhuo Clan and find themselves in a life-and-death crisis once more.
“You should stay here for now and follow my lead. It’s difficult to guarantee that you’ll remain unscathed,” Mu Yan advised.
While this secluded spot was suitable for her to rest and recuperate, she couldn’t afford to be overly concerned about their well-being at the mont.
The space sacrificial talisman, already filled with cracks, flickered with a dim light as Mu Yan activated it once more, aiming to re-open the space passage for their lateral escape. Distress flickered in her eyes; this was a life-saving item that would be irrevocably lost with each use. Yet, knowing that Gu Changge and the others were now entangled in her predicant, she felt obligated to help them escape the crisis.
“Miss, are you planning to let us stay here?”
Gu Changge asked, a hint of surprise in his voice. He had expected that Mu Yan had so ulterior motive for keeping them with her, perhaps involving deeper considerations or strategies. But who could have imagined that her sole focus had been on escaping, leaving her to forget to remind them to part ways halfway? This revelation left Gu Changge montarily at a loss for words.
How had such a naive daughter of luck managed to survive until now? Was it truly heaven’s blessing that had saved her ti and again?
Do you still want to follow ? You really aren’t afraid of death at all.
Mu Yan murmured softly, resisting the urge to glance at Gu Changge. Judging by their ages, Gu Changge appeared to be about the sa as her. The old man in the black robe beside him seed formidable, but would he truly be able to withstand the murderous intent of the Zhuo clan’s elder? This Heavenly Elder was a figure of imnse power within the immortal civilization, revered and feared by countless beings.
Gu Changge smiled at her words but chose not to respond. The astonishing luck had initially piqued his interest in her she seed to possess, a luck that could only be described as monstrous. If such remarkable fortune remained intact, or if soone attempted to exploit it, she would likely be able to control her destiny, achieve the Dao realm, and navigate through nurous calamities to beco a true ancestor.
Though Gu Changge had not actively deduced her fate, he understood that this calamity would not significantly impact her. In the past, he might have given considerable thought to such luck. However, his current aspirations were far greater, encompassing entire civilizations. How could the fortune of a single individual, no matter how remarkable, compare to the scope of a civilization? Moreover, there was nothing in Mu Yan that he particularly desired at this mont, so he decided to let things unfold as they would.
Buzz!!!
A bright light burst forth as Mu Yan urged the space sacrificial talisman, aiming to open a space channel. However, the mont her mana flowed into it, the already extensive cracks spread even faster.
Realizing that the entire talisman was on the brink of crumbling, Mu Yan quickly withdrew her mana in an attempt to halt the damage. Yet, the violent counter-shock hit her with full force, causing her to groan in pain as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, exacerbating her existing injuries.
The wounds she had managed to suppress flared up, leaving her face even paler than before. Dizziness washed over her; the world spun, and her body felt weak and unsteady. Just as she thought she would hit the ground, she found herself falling into a warm, broad chest instead.
The comforting scent of a familiar male presence enveloped her, bringing a sense of unexpected solace amidst the chaos.
