Chapter 2047 - 2048: Fanning the Flames

Ling Zhenfei said, "Actually, this isn't the most intense period yet. I suspect many people, or rather, many sects will choose to teleport the sect to a place farther away, instead of directly teleporting here to the canyon.

As time goes on and these sects adapt to the environment here, they will certainly move towards the canyon. That's when the real battle will happen, and the people from Foreign Land Space will also head towards the canyon.

That's when things will truly get violent. For now, we're just biding our time, watching how things unfold."

Lan Yan nodded and said, "If I had known things would be like this here, I don't think I would have come. Originally, I thought Dawen's skill level was already adequate, but who could have predicted it would turn out like this."

Ling Zhenfei said, "If people had known things were like this here, I think you wouldn't be alone in that thought. But only those who come here understand the harshness of it all."

Lan Yan said, "It's all the fault of that old man. If it weren't for him, our senior brothers and sisters wouldn't be in such a rush to come here and wouldn't have suffered these attacks."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That old man indeed played an instigating role, probably to make all the sects' cultivators relax their fear and reluctance towards Foreign Land Space and its Realm. I really don't know what his motives are."

Lan Yan said, "I wonder how many sects like ours there are."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Even the place I came from has an ambush, and I personally saw several cultivators killed by the Beastmen. The place I chose to come from was originally an unpopular location, and yet there was an ambush.

I trust that in those more important places, the defenses are more rigorous, and no doubt the sects would have suffered heavy losses."

Lan Yan suddenly became somewhat agitated and said, "What do we do now? I suddenly feel so scared. I don't want to die; I want to go home."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry. We're not so easy to kill. The cultivators here also have only one life. We've already killed quite a few; don't worry.

For safety's sake, you should find a safe place to hide first. When the time comes, return to the entry point and you'll be able to go back to Xianling Mountain."

Lan Yan said, "In this Foreign Land Space, where is truly safe?"

Just as they were talking, Ling Zhenfei suddenly made a shushing gesture toward Lan Yan and said, "Someone's coming."

Lan Yan was startled and hurriedly tried to suppress her Northern Spiritual Energy, hoping not to be discovered. Ling Zhenfei directly used his power of the soul to shield Lan Yan.

Power of the soul is not Divine Sense, and it is undetectable by Divine Sense. Ling Zhenfei hoped to use this method to shield Lan Yan from being discovered.

Indeed, several Divine Senses swept over Ling Zhenfei, evidently another group of Demon Hunters chasing humans.

The Demon Hunter teams are indeed formidable, and vigilance is necessary.

Even though the Divine Senses swept past, they truly did not detect Lan Yan's presence.

Lan Yan let out a sigh of relief, giving Ling Zhenfei a grateful look before her expression suddenly dimmed again.

"With so many Demon Hunters, I wonder if my senior brothers can escape their pursuit."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Fate decides, but worrying isn't going to help."

As the two were speaking, they suddenly heard a voice from their walkie-talkie.

"Ling Zhenfei, come and save me! I've been discovered by Demon Hunters."

It was Sun Wei's voice, sounding extremely urgent.

Ling Zhenfei immediately realized that it was most likely the guys using Northern Spiritual Energy to search previously.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Where are you?"

Sun Wei said, "I don't know exactly, but I'm heading in the direction of IDE continually. Oh no, I feel them heading towards me."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment, realizing that these Demon Hunters had just passed by him, and now they had discovered Sun Wei, indicating Sun Wei must not be far from him.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Keep heading in our direction; I'll meet you."

Sun Wei shouted, "Hurry up! If you're late, I'll be done for."

Ling Zhenfei put down the walkie-talkie and stood up, turning to Lan Yan and said, "Lady Lan Yan, wait here for a moment. I'll be back after rescuing my friend."

Lan Yan shook her head and said, "No, I want to go with you."

Ling Zhenfei had no choice; given the urgent situation, he set off in Sun Wei's direction with Lan Yan.

Ling Zhenfei expanded the power of the soul to its maximum, trying to locate Sun Wei as quickly as possible.

Soon, he felt Northern Spiritual Energy emanating ahead, indicating a battle taking place. Ling Zhenfei grew anxious, knowing Sun Wei and the Demon Hunters must be fighting.

Ling Zhenfei increased his speed to its maximum, even surpassing Lan Yan.

After a few sprints, he finally arrived at the battle site, where he slowed down upon seeing the situation.

In the scene, three people were surrounding Sun Wei, who was engaged in a fight with two of them.

Sun Wei was being pressured continuously by the two, retreating perilously.

The sword in Sun Wei's hand was infused with Northern Spiritual Energy, each slash carrying immense energy, needed to repel the two Demon Hunters.

Ling Zhenfei could discern that among the three Demon Hunters, the strongest was the one standing still.

That person was directing the two other Demon Hunters on how to attack Sun Wei, like guiding students.

If this person had stepped in themselves, Sun Wei would have been finished.

Yet this person hadn't intervened, leaving Ling Zhenfei with some precious time.

Ling Zhenfei gauged this person's strength, knowing they would be challenging even for him. For now, the best course was to kill one of the attackers to relieve Sun Wei.

However, killing the attacker wouldn't be easy; although this person stood inactive, they would surely step in to help.

The only viable strategy was the element of surprise, attacking one of them initially.

With this in mind, Ling Zhenfei used the power of the soul to cloak himself, gradually approaching the trio's battle.

With the power of the soul enveloping him, the Demon Hunters wouldn't detect Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei quickly reached the rear of the three fighting.

At that moment, Sun Wei was nearing his limit, with his Northern Spiritual Energy visibly depleted. Regardless of who it was, such a rapid expenditure was unsustainable.

Just then, Lan Yan arrived from a distance. The young lady lacked Ling Zhenfei's keen vigilance and was discovered by the Demon Hunter before she even got close.

The Demon Hunter turned toward her direction.

Ling Zhenfei thought to himself that it wasn't a good sign. If the Demon Hunter detected Lan Yan, she'd be in danger. He needed to launch an immediate attack on the two, preventing the Demon Hunter from having time to deal with Lan Yan.
