Ling Zhenfei said, "It's truly amazing, but how did you find such a place?"
Ru ng replied, "I stumbled upon this place by accident. Once we use the Concealnt Ring, they probably won't be able to find this spot. Let's hide here and wait for them to leave before we co out."
Ling Zhenfei glanced over. Since he had been protecting her, Ru ng's injuries were relatively mild, but her clothes were torn in many places and completely soaked.
Judging by the scratches on her clothes, she must have so internal and external injuries too. He took out two sets of clothes from his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, along with an elixir, and handed them to Ru ng.
"Change your clothes and apply so dicine."
Ru ng blushed slightly, feeling a bit shy, but quickly said thank you.
"They're just superficial wounds; they'll heal in no ti."
Ling Zhenfei remarked, "You can't be careless. A girl's body with scars wouldn't be good."
Ru ng nodded, took the items, and went to the depths of the cave where a rock could block the view. There, she changed her clothes.
Ling Zhenfei sat down to practice martial arts for healing and checked his body. His injuries were indeed severe, suffering significant organ damage due to repeated harm.
Ling Zhenfei sighed; it seed that full recovery would take so ti.
"What's wrong? Are the injuries very severe?" At this mont, Ru ng ca out and asked upon hearing Ling Zhenfei's sigh.
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Yes, indeed, they're more serious than I imagined."
Ru ng sat beside Ling Zhenfei and said, "I'm truly sorry for you; your injuries are all because of . I dragged you into this."
Ling Zhenfei said, "No need to talk about being a burden or not. You're my friend; who else would I help if not you? Certainly not that Young Master Bai."
"Young Master Bai?" Ru ng was sowhat curious about this title.
Ling Zhenfei replied, "It's that gentleman with a very pale face."
Ru ng quickly understood. Because the gentleman practiced Blood Oath Divine Power and stayed in a basent without sunlight long-term, his face was pale.
"You're really bad, giving people random nas."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Who told him to be so detestable and use human blood to practice martial arts? He deserves no better fate."
Hearing the words 'human blood', Ru ng's expression changed, knowing that if caught, she'd face the fate of being bled.
The two chatted for a while, each consuming so healing elixirs, then began cultivation.
Outside was a waterfall with deafening water sounds, so they didn't have to worry about anyone overhearing.
However, Ling Zhenfei was still slightly worried. If the Young Master were to pursue them now, another fierce battle would be inevitable. Would they be as fortunate in escaping as last ti? He felt concern but refrained from showing it to avoid making Ru ng anxious, as worry was the most dreadful thing.
Suddenly, he heard the chirping of a bird from his pocket. Ling Zhenfei was very surprised and reached into his pocket to take out the little bird.
Seeing the bird unhard, Ling Zhenfei could hardly believe his eyes. After such an intense battle, he couldn't recall how many tis he'd rolled on the ground.
If it were another bird, it would have been crushed, but this little bird was completely unhard.
Ru ng was also surprised that Ling Zhenfei had such a pretty bird in his pocket.
"What kind of bird is this? You're well-travelled; have a look," Ling Zhenfei asked Ru ng.
Ru ng shook her head and said, "The bird is too small; I can't tell. Perhaps we'll recognize it when it grows up."
Ling Zhenfei sensed the bird was special, but it kept chirping, clearly hungry.
He searched the cave and found it had plenty of moss and insects, which he fed to the bird, finally quietening it.
It seed to fall asleep again, so Ling Zhenfei placed it back in his pocket. Since it didn't get crushed inside, it was safe to keep it there.
The two practiced martial arts for a while, and ti passed quickly. While cultivating, they lost track of how long had gone by until Ling Zhenfei's eyes suddenly opened.
Outside the waterfall, several people arrived. Although Ling Zhenfei had never seen them, their attire was quite strange.
"They're from the Blood Oath Sect," Ru ng said with slight surprise.
Ling Zhenfei hesitated briefly and said, "People from Blood Oath Sect, how co they're suddenly everywhere?"
Ru ng said, "These people are called Blood Guards, Young Master's personal guards. They must have co with him. When we saw the Young Master, they probably lagged behind due to their slower speed."
Ling Zhenfei finally understood. The white-faced Young Master wasn't alone when he arrived but had brought people; it was just that these people were slightly less skilled and couldn't keep up with him.
Now they must have gathered, and they're out to search for them.
At this mont, Ling Zhenfei felt a bit anxious, not expecting these people to appear suddenly.
Ru ng beside him was also very worried, saying, "What should we do? Have they found us?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "They've managed to locate this place; that takes skill."
Suddenly, the four individuals sat down by the pool next to the waterfall.
So drank water from the pool, others simply sat down to rest.
"Brother, isn't the Young Master making us do this for nothing? In this vast Xianling Mountain, it's not easy to find two people,"
The person resting started chatting. The conversation was full of complaints.
"Third Brother, you better not say such things; if the Young Master hears, it'll be trouble."
"I'm only speaking the truth. In such a big forest, hiding a hundred people isn't even difficult," Third Brother continued complaining.
The leader said, "The Young Master's skills are peerless. He used the Blood-Searching Technique to pinpoint the coordinates of those two people nearby, suggesting they're definitely close."
Ling Zhenfei felt shocked after hearing this. Initially, he thought their hiding spot was secure enough, but it turned out the Young Master had used so Blood-Searching Technique to pinpoint their location.
The thing was, these so-called Blood Guards weren't very diligent. A thorough search might lead them to this place.
Ling Zhenfei glanced at Ru ng, whose face showed concern, clearly having heard what these people said.
Ru ng said, "I forgot that there's such a Divine Skill as the Blood-Searching Technique."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "What's the Blood-Searching Technique exactly?"
Ru ng replied, "During the battle earlier, we left traces of blood. The Young Master used our blood for a blood ritual, then utilized the Blood-Searching Technique to easily locate our general position."
Ling Zhenfei expressed shock, "Doesn't that an we're in great danger?"
