290: Luo Tianying fled in a sorry state

"I'd rather help the wrong person than let her go!"

Han Ruyi made a decision in an instant. She immediately turned to the two Senior Brother and Senior Sister beside her, who possessed similarly powerful auras.

She spoke rapidly, her voice filled with earnestness and anxiety:

"Senior Brother! Senior Sister! That Yao Delong is a great benefactor to my Han family!

I implore you two to take action and lend a hand to the Fellow Daoists of the Yin Yang Sect.

You must trap that witch; perhaps we can learn our benefactor's whereabouts from her!"

The two Nascent Soul Perfection Cultivators, who had originally intended to just watch the show, exchanged a glance upon hearing this.

Their Junior Sister had spoken, and it was for the sake of repaying a debt of gratitude. Furthermore, the target was a demonic Cultivator whom everyone despised.

Whether out of sentiment or reason, they had no excuse to refuse.

"Very well, I shall stretch my limbs a bit."

One of them, an elegant middle-aged man, smiled slightly. He gently shook the folding fan in his hand,

yet it stirred up streaks of peerlessly sharp astral winds, sealing off Luo Tianying's path of retreat.

The other, a cold and beautiful female Cultivator, gave a cold snort and flicked her jade-like fingers repeatedly.

Several Ice Soul Divine Needles, condensed to the extreme, shot silently toward Luo Tianying's vital points!

The situation reversed in an instant!

Originally, it was mostly the Elders and Disciples of the Yin Yang Sect besieging Luo Tianying; though they were brave, the gap in strength was obvious.

Now, Li Chen and his sister from the Moyang Sect joined in with their elite Disciples, forming a Formation.

Yun Ruoning sent out two Yun Guards at Nascent Soul Perfection, and Han Ruyi had called upon two Nascent Soul Perfection Senior Brothers and Sisters!

In a flash, Luo Tianying was trapped within a terrifying encirclement net composed of an exquisite trapping Formation and a large number of Nascent Soul experts!

Various colors of spiritual power radiance, the might of Magic Treasures, and the power of Formations became like an inescapable net, trapping her firmly in the center!

"Damn it!"

Luo Tianying was both shocked and enraged. She never expected that showing herself for even a moment

would actually draw such a massive siege from the experts of the Moyang Sect and Yin Yang Sect!

These people had clear objectives and coordinated perfectly. Although no one was her match in a one-on-one fight,

under their combined efforts—especially the pressure brought by those Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators—she felt a lethal threat!

The Ghostly Movement Technique she took pride in became sluggish under the heavy layers of suppression.

Liang Wufeng, who was in the middle of a fierce battle with Lei Zhenzi, caught sight of this from the corner of his eye.

"Curse it!" Liang Wufeng could only pretend to be fully occupied with Lei Zhenzi, anxious in his heart but helpless.

Luo Tianying felt unprecedented pressure!

Sharp attacks came from all directions, and the Moves of the Nascent Soul Perfection Cultivators forced her to respond with all her strength.

The power of the trapping Formation was constantly compressing her space to maneuver.

Several Ice Soul Divine Needles flew past her vitals by a hair's breadth, bringing a wave of chill.

She knew that if this continued, once she was completely trapped, she might truly fall here today!

"A bunch of ants! You dare to block me?!"

A flash of madness and resolution crossed Luo Tianying's eyes!

She suddenly bit the tip of her tongue and spat a mouthful of Natal Essence Blood, rich with life essence, onto a pitch-black bone talisman in her hand!

"Blood Shadow Heaven Escape! Burn!"

Following her shrill scream, the bone talisman instantly erupted with a blinding, blood-red light!

A heart-palpitating aura of evil, madness, and desperation suddenly exploded!

Luo Tianying's entire aura instantly withered.

Her originally beautiful face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if decades of her Lifespan had been drained in an instant!

Boom!

The blood light shattered!

A terrifying power far exceeding a half-step Soul Transformation suddenly expanded with Luo Tianying at the center,

forcibly breaking through the shackles of the trapping Formation. The shock sent the blood and Qi of everyone besieging her—

including the Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators—into a frenzy, causing their offensive to stall!

At the moment the blood light exploded, Luo Tianying's figure had already turned into a blood-colored streak as thin as a hair.

It was faster than the limit of Divine Sense capture, ignoring spatial distance,

instantly piercing through the heavy encirclement and shooting toward the horizon!

Only a shrill scream filled with resentment and killing intent echoed over the battlefield:

"Yin Yang Sect! Moyang Sect! I have noted today's 'gift'!

I will return it a hundredfold in the future! Yao Delong... just you wait!"

The blood light flashed and completely disappeared into the horizon, so fast that even Lei Zhenzi didn't have time to stop her!

The battlefield instantly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden turn of events and the terrifying power erupted by that forbidden escape technique.

Looking at the direction where Luo Tianying disappeared and the shocking pool of Natal Essence Blood on the ground,

a chill rose in everyone's hearts. This witch was even so ruthless toward herself!

"Damn it!"

Lei Zhenzi forced Liang Wufeng back with a punch, his face so dark it looked like it could drip water as he stared at the spot where Luo Tianying had vanished.

Liang Wufeng also took the opportunity to stop. He breathed a long sigh of relief and, leading the Moyang Sect crowd,

protected the unconscious Xiao Chen and the dying Ghost Shadow, quickly tearing open a spatial rift and disappearing.

Seeing that the main force of the Moyang Sect had already left, Li Chen, Yun Ruoning, and the others

didn't have time to say goodbye before they also stepped into the spatial tunnels.

The members of the Yin Yang Sect looked at the messy exit and the slowly rotating spatial vortex,

their hearts filled with frustration and anger. Luo Tianying had escaped, Xiao Chen was protected by the Moyang Sect, and Yao Delong's life or death was unknown... Han Yun supported the freed but still despondent Lin Qingxue,

gazing toward the dead-silent entrance, the worry in her eyes almost solidifying:

"Junior Brother Yao... you must... come out safely..."

Amidst this oppressive and heavy atmosphere, the light gate of the Secret Realm exit fluctuated violently again!

Several figures walked out while talking and laughing,

their faces carrying the relaxation of returning from exploration and the joy of some gains.

The leader was none other than Meng Bi! Beside him followed Scarface,

along with several Inner Sect Disciples and Nascent Soul Deacon Elders of the Yin Yang Sect.

"Haha, we had good luck this time. That 'Crimson Sun Flower' is a primary ingredient for refining the Barrier-Breaking Pill..."

Meng Bi was laughing as he spoke to Scarface, but his voice came to an abrupt halt the moment he stepped out of the light gate.

He felt the atmosphere was wrong! Terribly wrong!

The entire exit area was dead silent!

All the Yin Yang Sect Disciples, Elders, and even Peak Master Lei Zhenzi—every single gaze

was like a cold knife, focusing collectively on him and Scarface!

In those gazes, there was shock, disdain, and even more so, a sky-toppling rage!

The smile on Meng Bi's face froze instantly, and his heart felt as if it were being squeezed hard by an invisible giant hand!

Beside him, Scarface's face also turned deathly pale. The several Disciples and Elders traveling with them were also dazed,

completely failing to understand what had happened or why everyone was looking at them with such eyes.

Meng Bi's gaze quickly swept through the crowd,

instantly capturing the bone-chilling, deeply hateful looks from Lin Qingxue, Han Yun, Liu Ruyan, and the others!

He then looked at Lei Zhenzi's furious face, which was almost spitting fire,

and the already vanished Xiao Chen and Moyang Sect team... In a flash, Meng Bi understood!

"It's over! They've exposed the ambush in the Secret Realm!

Xiao Chen must have been taken away by the Moyang Sect, and now only Scarface and I are left!"

A massive fear instantly seized him. Almost instinctively, he wanted to turn around and rush back into the light gate that was about to close!

"Trying to run?!"

A roar like the explosion of Nine Heavens divine thunder, carrying the boundless pressure of a Void Refining Great Expert,

crashed down like a physical mountain, pinning Meng Bi and Scarface firmly!

Thud! Thud!

Meng Bi and Scarface didn't even have a shred of power to resist. They were pressed directly to their knees by this terrifying pressure,

their bones groaning throughout their bodies, making even breathing extremely difficult!

They looked up in terror, seeing Lei Zhenzi's face, which was distorted by sheer rage!
