...
Even in death, his eyes remained fixed on Yan Xiaobao.
Yan Xiaobao looked at the deceased Chen Yue, then suddenly collapsed to the ground. His inner spiritual energy had been greatly depleted, leaving him dizzy and fragile like a balloon. He stood there, trembling, swaying back and forth, his complexion pale. He could hardly believe he had actually killed all those people.
When he recalled the events that had just occurred, he suddenly noticed a sweet taste, the blood seeping from his mouth.
"I'm bleeding..." he thought. "I... I was almost killed!" Injuries covered him all over, especially on his shoulder. All around him were countless burns, flaring with pain. As Yan Xiaobao rembered the battle, fear surged within him, and he shivered.
"Why... why did I co back? That... was too dangerous. I could have lost my little life... I, Yan Xiaobao, have always been cautious. How could I be so impulsive...?" Just as the stress after the trauma was about to make him feel regret, sothing very soft yet firm jumped into his arms. He could feel the curves and sll a fragrant aroma. Du Lingfei was one of them.
At first, he was surprised, but his expression soon turned serious. He held Du Lingfei tightly and calmly said, "Sister Du, don't be afraid. Yan Xiaobao is here, and no one can hurt a hair on your head!"
Just as he spoke, his hand suddenly found itself resting on a soft surface...
"Thank you, thank you..." she cried emotionally. It took her a mont to realize she was in Yan Xiaobao's embrace. Then she recognized what his hands were doing behind her, and her face turned red. She quickly steadied herself and glared at him angrily.
Yan Xiaobao cleared his throat, savoring the sensation he had just experienced, and pondered that Du Lingfei should undoubtedly be considered one of the top beauties of the South Shore.
On Hou Yunfei's face appeared a strange expression. He cleared his throat and smiled at Yan Xiaobao, "Brother Bai, we'll have ti later to ponder everything that's happened here. The Luochen Clan will certainly send more people to kill us, and this ti it's likely their most powerful experts beneath the Foundation Establishnt level will co. We need to leave here as soon as possible."
Yan Xiaobao shuddered. He had just expended every move he had mastered to defeat these people. Just the thought of soone appearing stronger than Chen Yue would turn Yan Xiaobao's complexion pale. Looking at the chaos around him, he imdiately nodded.
"Yes. Yes, you're right, let's leave as soon as possible!" With that, he imdiately started to run away. His image differed completely from that of the ferocious fighter with steel-like resolve. However, this ti, Du Lingfei did not find it annoying, but actually quite charming. As she followed, she recalled the fierce battle to rescue her, and the light in her eyes grew stronger.
Hou Yunfei shook his head. He quickly collected the belongings of the Luochen Family mbers, caught up with Yan Xiaobao and handed them over.
"Brother Bai, these are your spoils."
Yan Xiaobao didn't even look at them as he tossed them into his robe. So far, he couldn't stop trembling, thinking only of one thing: escape.

Not long ago...
Back at the Fallenstar Mountains, in the Luochen Clan's cetery, the blood lake was surrounded by various nodes ford by spells. When the first Luochen Clan mber fell at Yan Xiaobao's hands, one of the nodes collapsed, its blood drying up.
This scene shocked the Luochen Clan mbers. However, before any of them could react, the sa thing happened at the second node, then the third, fourth, and fifth...
Rumbling sounds continuously echoed.
The Luochen Clan was completely astounded, falling one after another. Then, in the center of the blood lake, the Clan Leader slowly opened his eyes.
At that precise mont, a rumbling roar echoed from the node Chen Yue had most recently occupied.
"I can't believe Chen Yue... was just killed!"
"They're all dead. All seven dispatched have been killed!"
"How is this possible? Weren't they pursuing those two lowly Outer Sect disciples? Has the Spirit Sect discovered us and sent a Foundation Establishnt cultivator?!" Luochen Family mbers couldn't suppress their shock, and an enormous uproar instantly erupted, accompanied by expressions of fear and terror.
"Silence!" said a cold voice, cutting off all the noise. It was none other than the Clan Leader of the Foundation. His voice echoed like thunder, causing other clan mbers to tremble and watch him nervously.
"Our destiny changes, expelling the heavenly opportunity sealed within our blood, a chance we only encounter every thousand years," he spoke slowly. "Since making the decision, there is no need to let our imaginations run wild. If a Foundation Establishnt cultivator had intruded into the safety magic formation I've established, I would know. Up till now... there is no Foundation Establishnt cultivator, nor any reply. What are you panicking about?" His face displayed a grim expression; if he didn't have to maintain the spell formation, he could have personally gone out to eliminate Yan Xiaobao and the others.
However, if he left, the reverse blood spell formation, which was the only way their clan could detach from the Spirit Sect, would trigger a fierce backlash. While he might be able to survive, other clan mbers would find their blood flowing in reverse and would die.
