Chapter 2042 - 2043: Traveling Together

Beyond Mount Bu Zhou, there was another martial arts sect that Ling Zhenfei didn't know about, but the person in charge was Ji Tianlang. This guy seemed to have completely forgotten the embarrassment from losing under Liu Feiyang's sword.

However, Ji Tianlang was still at the Threshold Realm, just like Ling Zhenfei, who had been in continual combat without time to break through after arriving in this Foreign Land Space.

Lan Yan asked, "Should we go up and help?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "The strength difference between the parties isn't big right now. Even if we go up, we won't be able to help much. I have important things to do, so I won't be going. But since Mount Bu Zhou is a major sect, you can completely seek their protection.

You're a girl and your strength is at the Dawen Realm. I think Mount Bu Zhou would be quite willing to offer you shelter."

Lan Yan said, "I don't know anyone from Mount Bu Zhou, I'd rather stick with you. Have you heard of Yanzi Gate?"

Ling Zhenfei paused for a moment, then said, "No, I don't know anything about these sects."

Lan Yan said, "Although Yanzi Gate isn't a major sect, its strength is considered top-tier among smaller sects. Our Qingyun Ridge has a good relationship with Yanzi Gate, I want to find them."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright then, let's not go up there, but bypass it instead."

Ling Zhenfei led Lan Yan, bypassing the battlefield of Mount Bu Zhou sect and heading towards the distant direction.

But not long after walking, they suddenly saw people flying through the sky.

These people were not using Northern Spiritual Energy to fly but were flying with wings.

Indeed, these people all had wings; they were Bird People.

Their wings spread several meters wide, flying in flocks from above, creating a spectacular scene.

Ling Zhenfei and Lan Yan were hiding in the woods, so those Bird People did not notice them.

Ling Zhenfei took a look and said, "This doesn't look good; these people are likely going to attack Mount Bu Zhou. Seems like Mount Bu Zhou will be in trouble?"

Lan Yan said, "Is there any way we can contact them? Otherwise, they're at a disadvantage."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't think we have a way to contact them now, even if we rush over, it'll be too late. Mount Bu Zhou was too high-profile, fighting a positional battle with those creatures with tails."

Lan Yan said, "Without support, fighting solo surely won't work."

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei's walkie-talkie suddenly rang.

"Old Zhang, we're heading north, why are you heading south?" It was Sun Weidong's voice.

Obviously, they encountered danger, yet were separated while fleeing.

Then Zhang Zhenlin's voice came through, "At such a time, surviving is good enough, who cares which way you run."

Ling Zhenfei understood they surely were in danger.

Ling Zhenfei quickly shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Old Sun, what happened, where are you?"

After Ling Zhenfei shouted, there was a brief silence before a voice came through again.

"Zhenfei, you were right, we were ambushed, so many people are dead. I'm running now, someone is chasing us, hurry over and save us."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Where are you?"

Sun Wei shouted, "We were initially at the canyon's east entrance, didn't expect ambushes everywhere. I'm running north now, while Zhang Zhenlin went south."

Ling Zhenfei shouted, "What about Murong Liuqing, how is everything?"

Sun Wei said, "Everyone scattered, who knows? He might be dead."

Shortly after, Murong Liuqing's voice came through, "You're the one who's dead."

Upon hearing everyone was alright, Ling Zhenfei felt relieved.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly checked his Wu Wang Dao Talisman, in this canyon there are three gates, East Gate, West Gate, and South Gate, with no exit to the north.

Right now, Ling Zhenfei was positioned between the West Gate and South Gate, where Mount Bu Zhou was attacking.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't run aimlessly, move slowly northward for safety. There's no canyon entrance up north, should be no guards, let's regroup there."

Sun Wei shouted, "Zhang Zhenlin, did you hear that, stop running south, come back quickly."

Zhang Zhenlin shouted, "Got it, stop hassling, there are enemies nearby." He then fell silent.

Ling Zhenfei said to Lan Yan, "Let's head back now, toward the north. It should be safe there; we'll act together once everyone arrives, strength in numbers."

Lan Yan said, "I'll follow your lead."

They turned around towards back down the path they had come.

Ling Zhenfei told Lan Yan to retract her Divine Sense, to avoid being detected, and used the power of his soul to scan the surroundings, preparing for any incoming enemies.

Soon enough, Ling Zhenfei's soul power detected activity in the distance.

The two immediately hid as a wave of Divine Sense swept over them, briefly scanning Ling Zhenfei and Lan Yan.

But it quickly returned, specifically sweeping over Ling Zhenfei's location.

Ling Zhenfei knew this was trouble, he had taken a Concealment Pill capable of hiding his presence, but Lan Yan hadn't. This Divine Sense was strong, easily spotting anomalies.

Ling Zhenfei said, "We've been found, run quickly."

After saying that, he led Lan Yan into the forest.

A large forest surrounded the canyon outskirts; initially, they were at the forest edge, but due to being discovered, they had to run deeper into the forest where hiding was easier.

Lan Yan understood the issue was due to herself and apologized while running, "Sorry, it's my fault we got spotted."

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's okay. Just don't know if they'll send people to chase us."

They had spotted Lan Yan alone, who knew if they would pursue.

But soon after running, they sensed Northern Spiritual Energy approaching, quite a few people.

Ling Zhenfei was stunned at how serious they were about pursuing just one person, seemingly determined to leave none behind.

Ling Zhenfei said, "They are many, we need to make changes."

Murong Liuqing said, "What do you plan to do?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "They will pursue us sure enough; constantly running isn't a solution. Why not use you to lure them here, while I ambush them from the shadows?"

Lan Yan nodded, "Sure, how should I proceed?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Just act injured, leaning against this big tree, pretend you're healing, while I hide and wait."

Lan Yan nodded, "Alright."

Lan Yan sat down to cultivate while Ling Zhenfei hid atop a tree nearby.

Ling Zhenfei had been constantly running after arriving in Foreign Land Space with no time for rest; now he took a look around from the tree.

Surrounded by primeval forest, there was a small grass swaying in the wind not far away.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked upon seeing it, realizing the plant was none other than the Rejuvenation Grass he had risked his life to collect on Xianling Mountain.

Such an extraordinary plant, Rejuvenation Grass, grew on the steep cliffs of Xianling Mountain, guarded by eagles and snakes.

Yet astonishingly, it was casually growing behind this large tree in Foreign Land Space.
