316: Chapter 316 A Chance Encounter

Not long after Yun Chenfei left, the situation on the battlefield underwent a drastic change.

Murong Xingyan and Bai Bingqian, who had previously been barely able to withstand the attacks of the Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators, were now at their limits and found it difficult to hold on.

Even Su Tianlie, the Vice Sect Master of the Divine Firmament Sect, was struggling to protect himself in the perilous situation; had it not been for his extraordinary strength, he might have already perished there.

At this moment, an Elder of the Divine Firmament Sect anxiously shouted to Su Tianlie, "Vice Sect Master, we can't go on like this. We'll be wiped out sooner or later!"

Another Elder of the Divine Firmament Sect nearby chimed in, "He's right, Vice Sect Master. Why don't a few of us stay behind as a rearguard while you lead the Disciples to break through!"

Hearing the words of the two Elders, Su Tianlie's expression turned grave. After a moment of silence, he said in a heavy voice, "Xingyan, Bingqian, the two of you lead the Disciples and find an Opportunity to fight your way out."

As he spoke, the aura on Su Tianlie's body suddenly surged, as if a sleeping giant beast had awakened.

Clearly, he had decided to burn his essence blood and wage a desperate struggle to secure a glimmer of hope for the Sect's Disciples.

Seeing this scene, the other Elders of the Divine Firmament Sect also followed Su Tianlie's example, burning their own essence blood without hesitation.

In an instant, the atmosphere on the battlefield became exceptionally tense, and everyone's eyes were filled with resolution and fortitude.

The Divine Firmament Sect Elders who had burned their essence blood seemed to be possessed by gods of war, their entire bodies radiating a powerful aura that struck fear into the hearts of others.

Their strength increased instantly, and the previously suppressed situation was immediately reversed, forcing the Heavenly Demon Clan members to retreat repeatedly.

"Leave now while you still can!"

Su Tianlie shouted, his voice filled with resolution and determination.

"Xingyan, Bingqian, and all you young Disciples, I entrust the future of the Divine Firmament Sect to you!"

He continued to shout, his voice carrying endless hope and entrustment.

Su Tianlie roared at the top of his lungs as he frantically attacked the Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators who were trying to prevent them from leaving.

Determination flickered in his eyes; he knew this might be the last chance, and he had to protect the future of the Divine Firmament Sect.

"Vice Sect Master!" "Junior Martial Uncle Zhao!" "Revered Master!" "Elder Li!"...

Seeing their Sect Elders disregarding their own lives to block the Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators, many Divine Firmament Sect Disciples shed tears.

They felt the spirit of sacrifice from their Elders, and a strong sense of respect and gratitude welled up in their hearts.

At the same time, they secretly resolved that one day they would eliminate these Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators to avenge their Elders.

This determination took deep root in their hearts, becoming the driving force for them to move forward.

"Let's go!" Murong Xingyan and Bai Bingqian said after exchanging a glance.

They knew the situation was dire and could no longer afford to hesitate.

Thus, they decisively led separate groups of Divine Firmament Sect Disciples and sped away into the distance.

Murong Xingyan and Bai Bingqian led the Divine Firmament Sect Disciples in a desperate sprint.

They looked back and saw their Elders still engaged in a bloody battle with the Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators.

Every face was etched with fortitude and resolution.

"I must lead everyone to escape alive!" Murong Xingyan swore to himself.

During their flight, they unsurprisingly encountered resistance from a small number of Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators.

However, with their strong will and excellent combat skills, they turned danger into safety time and again.

Finally, they reached a safe location.

Exhausted, everyone sat down to take a short rest.

Looking at the Junior Brothers and sisters around him, Murong Xingyan felt a profound sense of responsibility.

"We cannot let the sacrifices of our Elders be in vain. We must Cultivate even harder to protect the Sect!" he encouraged everyone.

The crowd responded one after another, their eyes revealing a firm conviction.

"Alright, let's rest and reorganize here. We must leave as soon as possible, as it won't be long before the Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators pursue us again."

Wiping away the crystal-clear beads of sweat from her forehead, Bai Bingqian spoke softly.

"Yes, Saintess!"

Hearing this, the Disciples did not dare to delay, quickly taking out their respective Medicinal Pills and beginning to recover their magic power.

Meanwhile.

Yun Chenfei was rushing toward the Maple Leaf Forest without pause.

But now, traces of the Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators were everywhere in the Human Realm.

They committed all kinds of evil, burning, killing, and looting everywhere.

Yun Chenfei naturally encountered several small groups of Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators, but he dealt with them easily along the way.

Before long, waves of violent energy fluctuations came from directly ahead.

It was not difficult to distinguish from the aura that it was surely people from some Sect fighting against the Heavenly Demon Clan Cultivators again.

In order to obtain the Demon Sealing Spear Technique as quickly as possible, Yun Chenfei had intended to bypass the battlefield and head straight for the Maple Leaf Forest.

At that moment, a familiar aura suddenly came from not far ahead.

"This aura... could it be her?"

This sudden sense of familiarity caused Yun Chenfei to stop involuntarily and speed toward the battlefield.

"It really is her..."

A moment later, a familiar figure appeared before Yun Chenfei's eyes.

That graceful figure was none other than the Saintess of the Hundred Flowers Sect whom he hadn't seen for a long time—Ran Xueyao.

Yun Chenfei then quietly scanned her personal information.

Subsequently, she stood out in the Sect competition and was titled the Saintess of the Hundred Flowers Sect.
