Chapter 2046 - 2047: Is It Worth the Risk

Lan Yan said, "I brought my own clothes. Senior Brother Ling, just watch out for the people around. I'll change quickly and be right back."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Go ahead, don't worry."

Lan Yan hid behind a large tree, and after a while came out in a new outfit.

Ling Zhenfei looked at Lan Yan and couldn't help but admit that she was truly beautiful. Was it really worth such a beautiful girl coming to the Foreign Land Space for an adventure?

However, then he remembered Murong Liuqing, Si Si, Jiang Muxue, and others—they were all beautiful girls who had also come to the Foreign Land.

The battle between the two realms only results in the deaths of elites. It's really a bit not worth the cost.

But what is the battle between the two realms really for?

Initially, they said the trip to the Foreign Land was to find the Heavenly God Sword. If they find the Heavenly God Sword this time, maybe they won't need to come to the Foreign Land to adventure for the next twenty years.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't make sense of many things, perhaps because he hadn't encountered enough. Just like before, he didn't even know there was a Foreign Land Space.

As his strength progresses and he becomes stronger, surely he will encounter and learn about more things.

"Senior Brother Ling, what are you looking at?" Lan Yan asked somewhat shyly.

Ling Zhenfei snapped back, realizing he was a bit absent-minded while looking at Lan Yan.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Sorry about that, I was lost in thought about something."

Lan Yan smiled and asked, "What were you thinking about?"

Ling Zhenfei quickly changed the subject, "Nothing much. Let's hurry up, we have a long way to go."

After speaking, Ling Zhenfei took the lead and walked towards the distance.

Ling Zhenfei extended his power of the soul as a replacement for Divine Sense to avoid being detected. Lan Yan followed behind him.

The two hurried toward the west side of the canyon; to reach the north side, they definitely needed to pass through the west side of the canyon.

They had already passed the west side of the canyon on their way here. That's where Mount Bu Zhou and a few other major sects were attacking; it looked quite favorable, at least they wouldn't suffer losses.

But when they walked this way before, they saw a group of winged people flying overhead.

They had just heard that the Iron Bull people also went over to support, so it seems that Mount Bu Zhou and others would not have an easy time.

Indeed, when they arrived at the West Gate again, they could see from afar that the battle on both sides was extremely fierce, with fighting taking place both in the air and on the ground.

And this battle was intense, but under the siege, Mount Bu Zhou's people suffered heavy losses.

The number of Mount Bu Zhou's people had increased significantly; it seemed that human sects came to aid as well.

But even with this reinforcement, they were struggling to hold the line.

Originally on the offensive, they were now slowly retreating into the forest.

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

Ling Zhenfei said, "The power of the two of us isn't enough to change the course of the battle, so let's keep moving and not waste time."

Seeing Lan Yan hesitating, Ling Zhenfei added, "But staying around is a consideration; Mount Bu Zhou and those major sects are quite powerful. Even if the battle is intense, they can still protect you."

Lan Yan shook her head and said, "I don't know them. If I don't find anyone from Yanzi Gate, I'll just stick with you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Although I'm a Guest Elder of Wuliang Mountain, there are only four of us from Wuliang Mountain this time, not enough strength to protect you. If you find somewhere safer, you should go there. Following me will only bring danger."

Lan Yan hesitated for a moment then said, "I trust Senior Brother Ling, and besides, I am in the Dawen Realm and can protect myself."

Understanding Lan Yan's occasional stubbornness, Ling Zhenfei said nothing more.

He continued through the forest with Lan Yan, heading towards the back side of the canyon, which was to the north.

There was no entrance to the canyon there, so it should be safe.

The two moved quickly northward because the fighting to the west was drawing many of the Foreign Realm Tribes over there, leaving them with plenty of room to maneuver.

After walking for a while, Ling Zhenfei and Lan Yan finally reached the north side of the canyon, where the trees grew shorter because they received only a few hours of sunlight each day.

But the temperature was noticeably lower.

Ling Zhenfei first used the power of his soul to check the surroundings to ensure it was safe.

He then used a radio to call out, "I'm now at the northern side of the canyon. There's a very smooth cliff here with a big tree growing on it. Where are you guys now?"

Soon after, Sun Wei's voice came through, "I'm almost there too, ran into several groups on the way, luckily I was quick-witted."

After a while, Zhang Zhenlin's voice came through.

"I'm with Miss Murong, we've just passed the East Gate. Over here, it's Tianling Spirit Palace and the Cultivators Alliance fighting, and the opposition is no pushover, heavily guarded positions. It seems this time the Foreign Land Space people are determined not to let us into the canyon."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Take advantage of the firepower distraction at the East Gate, come over quickly, and we'll decide where to go after gathering together."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "Miss Murong doesn't want to leave; she wants to see what's happening from a distance and wait to pick up what's left after Tianling Palace forces their way in."

Ling Zhenfei shouted into the radio, "Murong Liuqing, snap out of it. You've been muddled since Xianling Mountain. Do you really think getting the Heavenly God Sword is easy?

The major sects don't dare to dream of it, do you think you can get the Heavenly God Sword alone? Your focus now should be survival, find a way to survive first, and then look for a chance to reach the Pursue Heart State."

But after Ling Zhenfei's shouting, there was silence, always waiting for Murong Liuqing to speak up, but there was still no reply.

Ling Zhenfei knew that Murong Liuqing was overly competitive. Even if she was alone this time, she would still try everything to obtain the Heavenly God Sword, but the Heavenly God Sword was not easy to get.

Ling Zhenfei was even worried that both sides would be severely harmed on this expedition to the Foreign Land Space.

In the past, going to the Foreign Land Space was merely about seeking the Heavenly God Sword, a scattered target, so encounters were skirmish-like.

But this time was different; this time with a clear target, it turned into a battle of positions, drastically increasing the difficulty—judging by ancient siege warfare, the attacking side suffers greater losses.

Ling Zhenfei knew that Murong Liuqing's personality would not compromise, it was nearly impossible to change her mind.

Once she set her sights on something, no one could stop her.

Ling Zhenfei and Lan Yan waited there, cautiously observing their surroundings, with Ling Zhenfei using the full extent of his power of the soul so he could detect any trace of movement around them.

Lan Yan sat beside Ling Zhenfei, looking visibly upset.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "What's wrong, Lady Lan Yan? Are you feeling down?"

Lan Yan said, "Our sect sent us out here, but as soon as we arrived, we suffered heavy losses, and in the end, I don't even know if I'll make it out alive. The battles here are just too brutally intense."
