Chapter 113: Chapter 112: Pursuit
Shen Luo led Tian Tiesheng down the gentle slope, and soon a towering Stone Forest appeared ahead.
“This place is well hidden, Junior Brother Shen, maybe we should hide in this Stone Forest for a while.” Tian Tiesheng unexpectedly suggested.
Shen Luo looked around, the surrounding mountains made the light dim, indeed it was a good place to hide.
The demons attacking the Spring and Autumn Pavilion in such a high profile should not dare to stay for too long, hiding here might be a good idea.
“That would be fine…Hmm…” He nodded, his gaze suddenly moved to the Stone Forest, and he stopped talking.
“Junior Brother Shen, what’s wrong?” Tian Tiesheng noticed Shen Luo stopping and asked.
“Nothing, let’s go.” Shen Luo continued to move forward.
After the two of them entered the Stone Forest and walked a little further, a figure suddenly appeared next to a large rock ahead. It was the silhouette of a middle-aged man with a dark face and a sword, who was none other than Senior Brother Niu, the gatekeeper of the mountain.
“It’s you guys! How did you find this place?” said Senior Brother Niu, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, quickly followed by a wary inquiry.
“Senior Brother Niu!” Seeing his fellow disciple, Tian Tiesheng beca overjoyed.
Shen Luo had heard soone hiding here just now, so naturally he was not surprised.
The sound of footsteps ca from the adjacent Stone Forest, two more n walked out, one of them was Ding Yuan, the other one was a pointy-mouthed young man that Shen Luo did not know.
“We found this place first, you two get lost!” Ding Yuan shouted.
Both Senior Brother Niu and the pointy-mouthed young man revealed a cruel glint in their eyes, and held their weapons.
“Gentlen, this Stone Forest is vast, even if ten more people were to hide it would still be sufficient. We are all fellow disciples in a shared tribulation, we should work together to overco this crisis.” said Tian Tiesheng, frowning.
“Pah, one more person here ans one more risk to be exposed, get lost!” Senior Brother Niu glanced at Shen Luo, spat out, and waved his long sword a little.
“If you don’t know your place, don’t bla us for being impolite!” The pointy-mouthed young man also coldly said.
Seeing such treatnt, even with Tian Tiesheng’s good temper, his face turned bleak and he was about to fight back.
It seed a fellow-disciple brawl was imminent.
“Senior Brother Tian, forget it. If they don’t welco us, we should move on.” Shen Luo glanced back and suddenly spoke, then quickly moved forward.
Although Tian Tiesheng was still sowhat angry, he followed Shen Luo’s advice and followed him.
The two of them moved quickly, their figures soon disappeared into the distance.
“Hmm, at least you knew your place.” Senior Brother Niu smirked triumphantly, sheathed his longsword, and was about to retreat back into the Stone Forest.
At this mont, a roar sounded from behind. It turned out that the three Corpse Wolves rushed down the gentle slope and were charging towards the Stone Forest.
“Demons! Damn it, those two useless n must have led them here!” Senior Brother Niu’s face turned, he cursed angrily.
“Senior Brother Niu, what should we do?” Ding Yuan and the other looked at the three Corpse Wolves, their faces filled with panic as they asked.
“What to do, run! As long as we run faster than them, we’ll be fine!” Senior Brother Niu snorted coldly, as he broke into a run in the sa direction as Shen Luo and Tian Tiesheng.
Ding Yuan and the pointy-mouthed young man didn’t dare to dawdle, quickly followed suit.
At this point, Shen Luo and Tian Tiesheng had exited the Stone Forest, walked so distance along the gentle slope, the slope ahead suddenly beca steep, making it impossible to go any further.
Shen Luo didn’t pay any attention, he swerved slightly to the left and arrived in front of an upward-facing mountain wall.
This mountain wall was quite steep, but there were many protruding rocks and so trees growing among them, so climbing wasn’t a problem.
“If we climb up from here, we can reach the mountain path leading down. Let’s go to the mountain gate below and see. Perhaps there might be a way out there,” Shen Luo said.
“Ha ha, thankfully Junior Brother Shen, you are familiar with this place, we can rely on you,” Tian Tiesheng laughed, then, the two quickly climbed upward.
Halfway up, Tian Tiesheng heard a sound from behind, turning to look, he saw Senior Brother Niu and his two companions running over embarrassingly, with three Corpse Wolves hot on their heels.
Senior Brother Niu and his companions didn’t see where Tian Tiesheng and Shen Luo were. They also seed unfamiliar with the path here. Seeing nowhere to go, they abruptly panicked, and it looked like they would soon be caught by the three Corpse Wolves.
“The three of you, over here!” Tian Tiesheng was a man with a warm heart, even though Senior Brother Niu had previously treated him badly, he still couldn’t bear to see the three losing their lives to the wolves and shouted out loud.
Shen Luo sighed faintly but didn’t try to stop him.
Hearing the sound, Senior Brother Niu and his companions hurried towards the mountain wall where Shen Luo and Tian Tiesheng were located and began to climb upwards desperately.
“Ah!”
A piercing shriek of terror. The pointy-mouthed young man, being the weakest, was the slowest to climb. The biggest Corpse Wolf caught up to him, leaped four or five Zhang high, and bit into his calf, pulling him down from the mountain wall.
The other two Corpse Wolves pounced imdiately, and in a blink of an eye, they tore the pointy-mouthed young man apart.
Seeing this scene, Senior Brother Niu and Ding Yuan shuddered, and desperately accelerated their climbing speed.
The three Corpse Wolves weren’t good at climbing steep slopes, they roared at the four from a distance, then turned around and ran back in the direction they ca from.
The four heaved a sigh of relief and climbed with all their might, soon reaching the platform at the top. There was a mountain path winding downwards, the very path leading down from the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.
This section of the mountain path was quite secluded, there was no trace of humans or demons.
Becoming conscious of Shen Luo and Tian Tiesheng’s presence, Senior Brother Niu and Ding Yuan felt a bit awkward. However, both of them were proud and although they felt uneasy, they didn’t apologise.
Shen Luo didn’t pay any attention to the two, he looked uphill and then followed Tian Tiesheng towards the mountain gate below.
“Senior Brother Niu, what should we… ” Ding Yuan asked in a low voice.
Senior Brother Niu looked uphill, where the screams had subsided a lot, but the roar of the demonic ghosts was still heavy. He couldn’t help feeling a chill in his heart, and his legs started shaking.
“Go, let’s go to the mountain gate with them.” He made a firm decision and said in a deep voice.
At this mont, Ding Yuan seed to have lost all his ideas, and quickly followed Senior Brother Niu down the mountain.
Shen Luo and Tian Tiesheng quickly reached the mountain gate, the enormous grey light barrier that enveloped the entire gate was right in front of them. The grey Qi on the light barrier surged and a cold Yin Qi dispersed from it, chilling their bones even from a distance.
However, Tian Tiesheng didn’t care and roared, hurling himself at it. The steel knife in his hand transford into a shadow and heavily slashed onto the grey light barrier.
The grey light barrier rely flickered slightly, before reverting to its original condition. However, the grey Qi on the barrier counterattacked, wrapping around the steel knife. As the cracking sounds echoed, a layer of grey ice crystals ford on the knife, spreading along the steel knife to Tian Tiesheng’s arm.
Tian Tiesheng’s face changed suddenly, and he quickly withdrew the steel knife. But it seed as though the knife was frozen to the barrier and couldn’t be pulled out with just one tug.
He growled lowly, and his arm suddenly swelled up, with a vigorous yank, he managed to withdraw the steel knife. However, most of the knife was already enveloped by the ice crystals.
Shen Luo looked upon the scene, his face was sowhat gloomy. This grey light barrier was even more formidable than what he had imagined.
