Chapter 175: Pursuit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was obvious that after they killed Shi Yifei and the others, the cultivators who remained in the Origin Returning Sect sensed that the souls of Shi Yifei and the others had been extinguished.
The smart ones immediately realized that the Origin Returning Sect had probably provoked a powerful enemy and that a pending doom was waiting for the rest of them.
Especially Shi Yifei’s personal disciple, the Second Elder of the Origin Returning Sect, Bai Xuanhong.
Without hesitation, Shi Yifei’s personal disciple, the Second Elder of the Origin Returning Sect, Bai Xuanhong, took away some of the most important treasures in the Origin Returning Sect and detonated the Level 3 spiritual vein with a few Foundation Establishment elders.
For one thing, it was because they did not want their enemies to obtain the treasures of their sect.
At the same time, they had another more important goal, which was to attract the attention of the large and small forces in Qi’an County.
It would create the most favorable conditions for their escape.
Reality proved that Bai Xuanhong’s method was effective.
After this explosion, not to mention many forces in Qi’an County, even the surrounding Bright Sun County and Purple River County were vaguely affected.
Immediately, many families and sects began to send their disciples to the area where the Origin Returning Sect was located to investigate the situation.
The Jiang family would naturally not be absent.
At this moment, they were the first to step into the territory of the Origin Returning Sect.
Looking at the messy scene with corpses all over the ground, all the Jiang members present could not help but feel a chill down their spines.
The guy who escaped with more than half of the Origin Returning Sect’s treasures was really ruthless.
When he or they detonated the Level 3 spiritual vein here, they clearly did not care about the disciples who were still here and treated them as cannon fodder.
Anyone with a brain knew that the explosive power caused by the explosion of a Level 3 spiritual vein was not something ordinary cultivators could withstand.
Jiang Chengxuan really did not expect that there would be such a quick-witted and ruthless person in the Origin Returning Sect.
His eyes turned cold.
Once such a person was given a chance and had some achievements in the future, he would definitely be like a poisonous snake that would fix its eyes on you until it swallowed you alive.
How could he let such a hidden danger continue to exist?
At the thought of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately reached out his hand.
Spiritual light immediately gathered at his fingertips as he used the Heavenly Calculation Technique.
After a while.
He ended the calculation and turned to Shen Ruyan beside him.
“Wife, I think I already know who did all this.
I have to admit that this person’s actions are rather decisive and methods ruthless.
But it’s also because of this that we can’t keep such a person alive.”
“Well, husband, you mean … ?”
Shen Ruyan seemed to understand something and couldn’t help but look at Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan nodded at her.
“That’s right. I plan to personally hunt him down.
Most importantly, this person has taken away almost half of the Origin Returning Sect’s resources.
If I can obtain it, it will be of great help to you, me, and the current Jiang family.”
“I see.”
Shen Ruyan nodded in realization.
“Therefore, I still need you to stay here to preside over the situation. Should anything happen, you can send me a message immediately.”
“I got it.”
Shen Ruyan nodded again.
“Husband, don’t worry. With me around, nothing will happen.”
“Good.”
With that, Jiang Chengxuan did not stay any longer.
He transmitted his voice to Jiang Renyi and the others. Then, he turned into a streak of light and instantly disappeared from the sky.
At the same time.
In a deserted mountain range, several figures were flying quickly.
The person in the lead was wearing a green robe. He looked to be in his thirties.
It was Bai Xuanhong who had just escaped.
Beside him were three mid-stage Foundation Establishment elders.
One of the red-haired men suddenly said, “Elder Bai, we’ve already escaped hundreds of thousands of kilometers in an instant with the escape talisman.
No one should be able to catch up to us, right?”
Hearing his words, a long-bearded old man and a woman in a yellow dress turned to look at Bai Xuanhong.
The expressions on the three of them were clearly a little nervous.
It was obvious that detonating the spiritual vein and causing their sect brothers to die had frightened them, and they had yet to calm down.
On the other hand, Bai Xuanhong looked perfectly composed.
When he heard the red-haired man’s words, he immediately frowned and said coldly,
“Zuo Haotian, if you keep asking about this along the way, you don’t have to follow me anymore.
1 don’t want an idiot by my side. That would not only harm me, but everyone.”
After being berated by Bai Xuanhong so bluntly, not only did the red-haired man named Zuo Haotian not get angry, he even said with a fawning expression,
“Yes, yes, yes. Elder Bai, you’re right. I shouldn’t ask too many questions. However, 1 believe that Elder Wang and Elder An also want to know what our destination is.”
The long-bearded old man and the woman in the yellow dress did not say anything.
However, it was obvious that they also wanted to know where they were following Bai Xuanhong.
Bai Xuanhong knew that it was time to give them an explanation.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, he said, “With our current situation, we definitely can’t go anywhere too crowded.
Therefore, I plan to bring you to a relatively remote place to hide for the time being.
In any case, with the resources we took away from the sect, it’s enough for us to cultivate for a long time.
When this matter gradually subsides and is forgotten by everyone, we can come out.”
Although Zuo Haotian and the other two were not particularly satisfied with Bai Xuanhong’s explanation, they did not say anything else.
Firstly, they were already used to following Bai Xuanhong. Secondly, they did not think that there was anything wrong with Bai Xuanhong’s plan.
Just like that, the three of them continued to fly forward.
About half a day later.
Bai Xuanhong finally brought them to a huge cave.
The spiritual qi here was surprisingly abundant.
This surprised Zuo Haotian and the other two.
The female cultivator in the yellow dress looked at Bai Xuanhong with a smile and said,
“Elder Bai, how did you find such a place with such abundant spiritual qi?
This is really surprising.”
“Is that so?”
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Bai Xuanhong’s face.
Instead of answering, he asked, “Since the spiritual qi here is so abundant, I’ll let the three of you stay here forever. How about that?”
“Elder Bai, what do you mean?”
The yellow-dressed woman, the long-bearded old man, and Zuo Haotian instinctively sensed that something was wrong and their expressions changed slightly.
However, before they could react, red runes suddenly lit up under their feet.
The rune seemed to have some strange power, instantly locking the three of them in place!
