Chapter 410: Chapter 31 – In Life And Death, Never Abandon_1

Above the dome of heaven.

Without a cloud in sight for thousands of miles.

A streak of light, shimmering and flashing swiftly.

Briefly tinged with a taste of haste.

It was Yuan Wenzhi, who used his Mana to abduct Wang Ba and has been fleeing in panic.

At this moment, his prior scholarly demeanor was nowhere to be found. His face was noticeably pale, his hair and robes were in utter disarray.

Fixedly, he was unconcerned with these, his Spiritual Sense constantly sweeping behind him, his mind taut to the extreme.

“Luckily, no one’s following…”

But his heart didn’t ease in the slightest.

For even the slightest relaxation would bring a dreadful image of Zhang Tailai’s death terribly to the forefront of his mind.

Too ghastly!

Even though they had mentally prepared themselves when accepting this task,

Yuan Wenzhi still hadn’t envisioned such a brutal end!

Even the bodies have been mutilated beyond recognition.

He could only imagine that if he were caught, his end would not be any less grim.

In addition, due to the impact of his injuries, his Mana flow was unstable, slowing his ability to control his flying Magic Tool drastically.

If a Golden Core cultivator tracked him down, they would likely catch up with him in no time.

So, he needed to run away as soon as possible.

“It’s impossible to stay in Yan State, but how to escape also needs careful consideration.”

According to the original plan, even if the mission failed, the two of them could escape directly to Qiao State to the northeast in the midst of the chaos.

But now that Zhang Tailai died on the spot, that plan was scrapped.

“Going south may have alarmed the Chu Dynasty… can’t go there… going east is impossible, the three major clans are in the east now, going west would mean a significant detour…”

“Song State is rather chaotic, with no considerable power, it seems possible to leave from Song State while heading north…”

Having quickly weighed his options, the only choice remaining was indeed to head north.

However, he had fled so abruptly earlier, one thing on his mind, escaping to the west. Now, if he wanted to head north, he’d have to go around again.

Thinking this, he immediately changed directions and flew off to the north.

He also glanced at Shen Fu, whom he’d wrapped in his Mana.

For some unknown reason, this ‘Master Shen’ with a mysterious background now seemed like a lifeless body.

Of course, his gradually reviving eyes could attest that he was not dead.

Yuan Wenzhi did not care about these things, he intended to kill him directly and take his treasures, which would be the most convenient.

Unfortunately, the Fragrance Plaque has always been protecting him, leaving Yuan Wenzhi helpless.

The only thing he could do was take him and find a way when it was safe.

His thoughts fleeting.

Flying northward, soon, he faintly saw that the lands below became increasingly desolate.

He could barely make out the passing tumbles of hills, cities, and a dense network of rivers and marshes.

“Huh?”

Yuan Wenzhi, who was in flight, halted abruptly, his gaze instinctively drawn towards the front.

A familiar figure appeared in the sky not far ahead in the midst of the clouds and fog, blocking his path!

His Spiritual Sense had always been focused behind him to guard against the pursuit of the members of the three major clans, so he hadn’t paid much attention to the situation ahead.

By the time he had seen the figure in front of him, he was already very close to them!

“It’s her? Master Shen’s Dao Partner!”

“How did she know I’d come this way?!”

Seeing this figure, Yuan Wenzhi’s eyes revealed an incredulous look.

The figure in front of him was the female Cultivator called ‘Bu Chan’.

When she saw him, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her expression not surprised at all that Yuan Wenzhi had come this way.

Catching her reaction, Yuan Wenzhi immediately understood something.

Instantly, he halted and quickly spread his Spiritual Sense around him.

To the east… dozens of miles away…

To the west, to the south…

With his Spiritual Sense sweeping everywhere.

Unexpectedly, he found no sign of any Golden Core cultivator.

“Wait a minute, she’s alone?!”

Yuan Wenzhi immediately realized this and his eyes showed a momentary look of surprise.

He couldn’t believe it and tried to sense the woman’s aura again.

“That’s right… She is only at the early-stage of Foundation Establishment…”

Just a female Cultivator at the early-stage of Foundation Establishment… dared to stand in his way?

Has this cultivator gone mad?

However, during his moment of disbelief, the woman lost no time and rushed toward him!

“Huh?”

The woman’s reckless action immediately aroused Yuan Wenzhi’s vigilance!

With a swift move, he hastily dodged Bu Chan, then without any hesitation, he flew past her toward the clump of clouds where she had been standing, eager to leave Yan State and avoid wasting time. Although Bu Chan looked frail, he couldn’t be certain if this was a trap, so he had no intention of getting into a fight.

Just as he was passing those clouds, however, Yuan Wenzhi suddenly had an uneasy feeling!

His Spiritual Sense quickly probed, and he saw something that made his face change dramatically!

“Class II, top-grade Thunder Seed!”

In the clouds, it turned out to be a large number of Class II top-grade Thunder Seeds!

They were hidden on purpose by Talismans.

A Class II Thunder Seed would not be a problem for him, but there were… a whole two hundred here!

He tried to dodge urgently, but what startled him was that Bu Chan, who he had easily avoided just now, seemed to have anticipated this. Without any hesitation, she turned and immediately threw out a large number of Class II Talismans, instantly sealing off all directions around him!

Yuan Wenzhi pupils contracted instantaneously!
