The spear tip scraped across the solid ground by the shore, and a trail of flas rose up with it.
These were not produced by the friction, but by Lu Chen’s own Fire Spiritual Power!
As he neared Shang Xiu, the fire grew larger and larger.
But at that mont, a cry of alarm sounded!
"Young Master, don’t hurt Fourth Sister!"
Hearing this familiar voice that haunted his dreams, Lu Chen quickly turned his head!
There, the Qin Yaotiao he had been longing for was looking at him with tear-filled eyes!
"Yaotiao!"
Overwheld with joy and surprise, Lu Chen no longer cared about the nearly fatal encounter with Shang Xiu and hurried towards Qin Yaotiao!
In his heart, he had been looking forward to returning to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to keep their three-year appointnt after his journey to the abyss. Yet he hadn’t expected to et her right there in the abyss!
Qin Yaotiao, weeping profusely, also ran towards Lu Chen. At their last parting, she had been just an ordinary mortal woman, but now, she had beco a cultivator in the Qi Refinent Realm!
"Young Master!"
Qin Yaotiao moved gracefully and, seeing Lu Chen, threw herself into his arms, clinging to him tightly!
"How did you also co to the abyss?"
Lu Chen, stroking Qin Yaotiao’s back with one hand, turned to look at Shang Xiu, who had already stood up.
And in Shang Xiu’s heart, a storm had already begun to rage!
Yet, the only silver lining was...
Qin Yaotiao had saved her life!
That is to say, she was safe for now, at least temporarily out of danger!
But what about Liu Ruyan?
A murderous intent flashed again in Shang Xiu’s eyes. She must make a choice. Acting decisively, she said, "Yaotiao, and your Young Master--if I rember correctly... Lu Chen, right?"
"Indeed, I am Lu Chen!"
Lu Chen also sized up Shang Xiu.
Qin Yaotiao’s intervention indicated that their relationship was good.
However, Lu Chen was unaware that Shang Xiu was in fact using Qin Yaotiao!
"Lu Chen, Liu Ruyan is our eldest senior sister, and she wants to kill you. I’ve decided to join forces with you to kill her!"
Shang Xiu wasted no words and directly declared her position.
Little did she know, her words were completely overheard by Liu Ruyan who was entangled with a formation spirit in the distance!
He is actually Lu Chen?
The Lu Chen that Master instructed to kill?
And what shocked her most was Shang Xiu’s outright intention to kill her!
How should she face these three Qi Refinent Realm cultivators?
Here, on one side was a cliff, and on the other, a mine. Liu Ruyan knew there were formation spirits, and she wouldn’t have any advantage in this mine!
Rather than that, she would risk it all!
Her eyes were firm as she reached out to push the formation spirit back, then leaped into the Spiritual Liquid!
Afterward, she vanished without a trace, carried by the vortex’s power!
"Damn it, she’s escaped!"
Liu Ruyan made her move and, with a flow of Spiritual Power, the trio imdiately realized what was happening. But they were still a beat too slow and could only watch helplessly as Liu Ruyan got away!
"She actually escaped!"
Lu Chen frowned. He knew well who Liu Ruyan was—a malicious female cultivator who, to save her own life, wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice her junior sister!
"Young Master, it’s all my fault. If I had just..."
Qin Yaotiao whispered, but Lu Chen put a finger to her lips to silence her.
"It’s not your fault. Anyway, in this abyss, she won’t be able to escape far!"
Lu Chen had a vague sense that there was a different world within this forbidden area. Right now, he needed to decide whether to pursue into the deep vortex or allow Liu Ruyan to leave, while he figured out how to exit this forbidden area and wait for Liu Ruyan to co out?
"Little Junior Sister, you should be happy. After all, you have finally t your cherished Young Master."
Shang Xiu comforted her, but her real aim was to win Lu Chen’s favor.
Lu Chen nodded slightly at her, then sat down and said, "Yaotiao, and this fairy, do you have any knowledge of our eldest senior sister?"
Shang Xiu’s eyes glead as she said, "You want to guess what Liu Ruyan will do next?"
Lu Chen turned his head and said, "Yes, what you tell next will decide whether we should chase after her or let her go for the ti being!"
