Chapter 2128 - 2129: Lush and Verdant

Ling Zhenfei said, "I understand you. Everything you've done has been truly remarkable."

Knowing that people from Wuliang Mountain couldn't come here, Murong Liuqing single-handedly bore the entire flag of Wuliang Mountain. So much so that Ling Zhenfei felt Murong Liuqing had turned into a true fighter, genuinely battling at the forefront.

Her relentless efforts have earned Wuliang Mountain a place, but one person's strength is always quite limited. Although the effect wasn't substantial, she truly has tried very hard.

Ling Zhenfei looked into the distance and saw a peak that seemed like a very good place.

Ling Zhenfei had the Lightning Bird fly towards that peak, which was lush and seemed very alluring.

The Lightning Bird landed on the peak. It was just a small hill covered with trees, but because the trees were so lush, it was still very beautiful.

However, right now, Ling Zhenfei wasn't in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

After finding a seemingly safe spot with Murong Liuqing, Ling Zhenfei instructed her to settle down, then used his power of the soul to create a barrier, enclosing them both within it.

The Lightning Bird flew into the air to keep watch as Ling Zhenfei began to heal Murong Liuqing's injuries.

Murong Liuqing's injuries were internal. First, he gave Murong Liuqing some elixirs to consume, then began a treatment with Northern Spiritual Energy, using his own energy to help heal Murong Liuqing's internal wounds.

The treatment went on for a long time, as the sky gradually darkened.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt a surge of Northern Spiritual Energy approaching from afar, briefly sweeping over his power of the soul.

Under normal circumstances, no one could see the power of the soul, but now it caused a slight ripple on it.

Ling Zhenfei felt a twinge in his heart, a sense of foreboding, as if his position had been discovered. He didn't know why, but it was just a feeling.

Ling Zhenfei immediately began to gently withdraw his power, uncertain whether they'd been discovered. To be safe, he decided to stop the treatment.

Once Ling Zhenfei stopped, Murong Liuqing opened her eyes, stretched lazily, and said, "That felt so good, my body is almost healed."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I originally intended to heal your injuries fully, but I didn't expect someone to discover us, so I had to stop."

Murong Liuqing was taken aback and said, "Did you say we've been discovered?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "I sensed the presence of a Demon Hunter."

At this moment, they suddenly heard the cry of the Lightning Bird from afar.

Ling Zhenfei and Murong Liuqing quickly looked in the direction of the Lightning Bird and saw it flying from low altitude toward the sky.

Apparently, it had been attacked from the ground, but at that moment, a white light suddenly chased after it.

This thing evidently had struck the Lightning Bird, which let out a sudden screech, then spread its wings and soared higher. The white light pursued for a while before stopping.

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's not good, this Demon Hunter is too strong."

Murong Liuqing asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "If it were an ordinary cultivator, even at the Pursue Heart State, the Lightning Bird would be surrounding them, not the other way around.

That person obviously scared Xiao Jin, so it fled. I have no idea what kind of monster has come."

Murong Liuqing said in surprise, "What should we do?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "There's nothing we can do; we need to find a way to escape so that he doesn't catch up with us."

Murong Liuqing said, "That's a good idea, let's go quickly."

Ling Zhenfei tried to contact the Lightning Bird, but perhaps it was frightened by the person just now and flew very far, so Ling Zhenfei couldn't reach it.

Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to quickly take Murong Liuqing in another direction down the mountain.

At the same time, he was a bit shocked, not knowing what kind of powerful expert could frighten the fearless Lightning Bird like this.

Both Ling Zhenfei and Murong Liuqing's Northern Spiritual Energy reached their maximum as they hastened down the mountain.

Not long after, both of them felt a shiver in their hearts because they felt another wave of Northern Spiritual Energy approaching from afar. It was a Divine Sense, with Northern Spiritual Energy penetrating their hearts.

Ling Zhenfei knew this Divine Sense had discovered them. The Northern Spiritual Energy was just verifying their identities.

The two exchanged glances and said, "Let's hurry; this person is very powerful."

Indeed, this person was very powerful. A Divine Sense like this, alongside substantial Northern Spiritual Energy.

But for someone to have a Divine Sense with such strong Northern Spiritual Energy, it indicates their strength is exceptionally high.

The two quickened their pace, wanting to quickly escape from this area.

Yet at that moment, they suddenly felt that they were once again locked onto by a Divine Sense, and no matter how Ling Zhenfei ran, the Divine Sense remained on him.

Suddenly, they felt the fluctuation of Northern Spiritual Energy, and saw a white light flying toward them.

This white light was the same as the one that attacked the Lightning Bird, but up close Ling Zhenfei realized it wasn't white light at all, it was a treasured sword.

This sword was extremely powerful, almost as if it had turned into tangible Northern Spiritual Energy, thrusting towards Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked. His Tang sword came out, using Iaido to counter the oncoming strike.

Clang!

His blade struck the flying sword, knocking it back, but Ling Zhenfei felt the immense Northern Spiritual Energy, making his arm slightly numb.

Ling Zhenfei was astonished. The power of this sword attack from such a distance indicated how strong this person was.

The flying sword came at Ling Zhenfei again, slashing three times as if wielded by an unseen hand.

Ling Zhenfei used the Boundless Blade Technique to fend it off. Though it had ways to neutralize Northern Spiritual Energy, each collision left him in awe.

After a few unsuccessful strikes, the flying sword realized it couldn't defeat Ling Zhenfei and retreated.

Feeling relieved, Ling Zhenfei shouted to Murong Liuqing, "Let's go quickly, this person is too strong and will surely return to kill us."

Ling Zhenfei hadn't felt this kind of pressure even when fighting eight opponents before.

Given the power of this sword from an unknown distance, facing the real person would be unfathomable.

Ling Zhenfei estimated this person was at least in the Late Stage of the Pursue Heart State, possibly even peak-level.

Because the gap in power was quite large, Ling Zhenfei thought it difficult to contend with such an expert.
