In an unnamed barren mountain wilderness, Lin Bai rolled his figure and picked up a storage bag from the ground. Opening it, he found it in a state of decay, and Lin Bai, disappointed, threw the storage bag down.
This was already the second day since Lin Bai left the cave mansion, and within the Divine Demon Secret Realm, nothing of value was found.
"It's still only places like the City of the Living Dead that, although dangerous, truly have more treasures. Outside of these wildlands, although I've found several storage bags, the treasures are really not worth a look."
Lin Bai shook his head and said.
"Let's try our luck and see if we can find a place with a valuable treasure!" Lin Bai continued flying forward.
But just as Lin Bai flew forward for a while, he suddenly saw a series of long rainbows flashing across the sky.
Lin Bai frowned suddenly, looked toward these people, and saw a woman fleeing in panic ahead, while three warriors at the eighth level of the Life-and-Death Realm pursued her relentlessly from behind.
The woman's cultivation was not high, only at the fourth level of the Life-and-Death Realm, and she was already severely injured. There's no way she could be a match for these few people.
"Is it another treasure snatch fight?" Lin Bai shook his head slightly. He had encountered many similar situations before. As previously mentioned, the rule of the Divine Demon Secret Realm is that whoever has the treasures becomes the enemy.
Before, Lin Bai also witnessed many warriors obtaining treasures, only to be immediately struck down by their own companions.
Lin Bai glanced and intended to leave, but as this group approached, only then did Lin Bai's expression turn cold, because he saw that the woman being chased ahead was very familiar…
"Junior Sister Shu Xiang!"
Lin Bai's eyes widened, looking at the woman.
...
Shu Xiang was covered in wounds, looking miserable, with a pale complexion. She gritted her teeth, trying hard to run her spiritual power, sprinting and desperately trying to escape the pursuit from behind. But those three warriors at the eighth level of the Life-and-Death Realm had no intention of letting Shu Xiang go.
"Haha, little girl, don't run anymore, you can't escape the palm of our hand."
"Just obediently come back with us, so we don't have to make a move and hurt you again!"
"Junior Brothers, I think she doesn't know what's good for her and only eats the penalty wine, so stop wasting words, disable her, and take her back to Junior Brother Zhu Jingyi!"
Those three warriors at the eighth level of the Life-and-Death Realm gradually became more sinister, and they didn't intend to waste more words with Shu Xiang. Suddenly, spiritual power flashed inside them, fiercely hitting Shu Xiang's back.
Pft—
Shu Xiang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and her body plummeted from mid-air.
Immediately, those three warriors at the eighth level of the Life-and-Death Realm landed beside Shu Xiang, sneering, "Run, run, I want to see where you can run to?"
Shu Xiang's face was pale, her gaze scattered, and she was on the verge of death, expressionlessly looking at the three in front of her, even showing a face of despair, knowing clearly that she was facing certain death today.
"Cripple her cultivation and take her back, she is someone Junior Brother Zhu Jingyi wants."
The three warriors said coldly.
"Okay!" Instantly, a warrior stepped forward, sending a palm toward Shu Xiang's abdomen.
Shu Xiang closed her eyes, utterly unable to resist.
She could only leave it to fate, allowing these three to destroy her Dantian.
Just at that moment, a bright sword aura tore through the sky and descended like a rainbow piercing the sun from the clouds.
The sword light was heaven-reaching and unparalleled in sharpness.
"Not good!"
The warrior who attacked Shu Xiang suddenly felt a chill, his face changed drastically, and he looked up abruptly, seeing a sword light slashing down on him. He hastily withdrew his hand to retreat, but just at this moment, the sword light fell!
"Ahhh—"
A piercing scream echoed and spread.
Shu Xiang opened her eyes in astonishment, seeing the warrior who had just attacked her instantly retreating a hundred meters, his right arm severed by a single sword strike.
Shu Xiang looked surprised, unable to comprehend what just happened, then she heard the three warriors coldly say as they looked behind Shu Xiang, "Who are you? How dare you interfere in our affairs? Do you know who we belong to?"
As Shu Xiang saw the three looking behind her, she too turned her head slightly and saw behind her stood a towering white-robed man, tightly gripping a sharp sword, his expression cold, as cold as frost!
But when Shu Xiang saw this white-robed man, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked out, "Lin Bai brother…"
Lin Bai helped Shu Xiang up from the ground, took out an Earth Mystery Elixir from the storage bag, and gave it to her, smiling, "Shu Xiang, what on earth happened here? Who are they? Why are they hunting you down!"
Shu Xiang hurriedly replied, "Lin Bai brother, they are warriors from the Island of Stars. Zhu Jingyi sent them to capture me. Lin Bai brother, please go save Brother Wu Ming, Brother Meng Li, and Brother Changsun Yun."
"They stayed behind to buy me some time to leave, I don't know what's happened to them now."
Lin Bai's eyes flashed in surprise, "Li Jiuge's people? Zhu Jingyi sent them?"
"Changsun Yun, Meng Li, Wu Ming…"
Lin Bai raised his eyes, looking at the three in front, killing intent surging in his expression.
The three said coldly with ice in their voices, "Kid, do you have a death wish? Daring to meddle in the affairs of our Island of Stars!"
"You actually cut off one of my arms, I want your life!"
"Just a mere warrior at the seventh level of the Life-and-Death Realm, what are you wasting words for, kill him!"
The three flew into a rage and directly attacked Lin Bai from three directions.
Shu Xiang's face was filled with shock, shouting, "Lin Bai brother be careful!"
Seeing the three attacking, Lin Bai stood still, not moving at all, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Bai suddenly moved, an icy sword aura swiped across the sky.
Shu Xiang only saw among the three who charged at Lin Bai, two of their heads directly flew up, while the other's body was sent flying back, landing heavily a hundred meters away, vomiting blood.
"Ahhh—"
The one who landed screamed in pain.
He hastily tried to get up, but as he moved, an icy sword edge rested on his neck. He followed the sword edge upward, seeing a face colder than the sword edge!
"He-he-he...he actually killed two warriors at the eighth level of the Life-and-Death Realm with one sword strike! How is this possible, he is only at the seventh level of the Life-and-Death Realm!" the warrior thought in terror.
Shu Xiang was also frightened by this scene, her mouth agape... unable to believe it!
Lin Bai icily said, "I hope you understand that you didn't die from that last sword strike not because of your deep cultivation, but because I wanted you to live!"
"I understand, I understand." This warrior from the Island of Stars naturally understood that if Lin Bai's previous sword strike wanted him dead, he probably wouldn't have escaped death!
Lin Bai coldly asked, "Where is Changsun Yun, Meng Li, Wu Ming?"
