Chapter 2130 - 2131: Demon Hunter Battlefield

After a whole night of cultivation, the sound of birds chirping in the forest echoed clearly in the early morning, resounding far through the morning woods.

Ling Zhenfei and Murong Liuqing opened their eyes almost simultaneously, as they both sensed the distant sound of Northern Spiritual Energy clashing—looks like the battle had begun with the first light of day.

This was really no surprise, as the forest was now the battlefield between humans and Demon Hunters.

The strong ones among the Demon Hunters were roaming around searching to kill human cultivators.

This reminded Ling Zhenfei of what Lu Tao had told them; Lu Tao and his group had been killed by a Demon Hunter.

Originally, Ling Zhenfei found it unbelievable, but after this night, he thought it very normal.

Lu Tao and his group were like him, having advanced from the Foreign Land Space to the Pursue Heart State, all in the Chasing Heart Realm Early-Stage. Such strength, when encountering a patrolling master, could easily lead to their demise.

Someone of Ling Zhenfei's strength could simultaneously kill several Chasing Heart Realm cultivators, let alone more powerful cultivators.

To Ling Zhenfei, in the Pursue Heart State, there's a saying that someone in an upper realm can easily annihilate someone in a lower realm.

However, killing your match within the same realm is very challenging, but this environment in the Chasing Heart Realm is even more intricate.

The Chasing Heart Realm Early-Stage and the Chasing Heart Realm Mid-Stage are totally different realms—off by an inch, a thousand miles apart.

Ling Zhenfei looked at Murong Liuqing and said, "There's a battle in the distance. Let's go check it out."

Murong Liuqing nodded and then said to Ling Zhenfei, "Step outside for a moment."

Ling Zhenfei was puzzled, "Why?"

Murong Liuqing said, "I need to change clothes. Are you planning to watch?"

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Ling Zhenfei replied, "If you don't mind, sure, you can."

"Get out!"

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly exited the tree hole, leaping to the ground below.

Even though it had rained heavily, the ground beneath the big tree was covered with thick leaves and forest plants. Stepping on them made his feet slightly sink, hardly feeling any mud.

After a while, Murong Liuqing also emerged from the tree hole.

She had changed into a clean set of clothes—the ones from yesterday's battle were completely dirty, with some parts even torn.

After changing, Murong Liuqing seemed like a different person—dressed in white with a touch of pale blue, making her appear even more beautiful.

She tucked the flute at her waist and leapt down the tree.

Murong Liuqing said, "Let's go."

Ling Zhenfei and Murong Liuqing headed toward the source of the Northern Spiritual Energy. There, the energy clashed again and again, indicating a fierce battle.

They moved swiftly on Northern Spiritual Energy, quickly reaching the battle site.

Cautiously approaching, they observed the scene from atop a large tree.

The current situation was a conflict between two groups, one being the foreign races, who were numerous.

However, the opposing humans were also abundant, and extremely powerful.

Murong Liuqing said, "So they've arrived here."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Who are they?"

Murong Liuqing replied, "They're powerful sects, including Kongtong, Kunyu Mountain, and Hongmen."

Ling Zhenfei commented, "Both sides have a lot of people. This battle is going to be intense."

Murong Liuqing said, "It doesn't concern us, let's leave."

Ling Zhenfei also felt there was no point in staying.

So the two of them headed deeper into the southern forest.

Murong Liuqing was a person with her own ideas, unlike other women who would need someone else to make decisions for them.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Where are we going?"

In a good mood, Murong Liuqing replied, "You know, right now Wuliang Mountain has the best chance of acquiring the Heavenly God Sword. We suffered the least losses earlier and now have the largest force."

Ling Zhenfei was aware that Wuliang Mountain and the Shu Mountain Sword Sect formed the largest alliance, with over a hundred people combined.

No other sect had this many people left now.

Large sects that might have started with many disciples have suffered heavy losses after numerous battles.

For instance, the joint forces of the Cultivators Alliance and Tianling Spirit Palace were initially the strongest group, but now they boasted only sixty to seventy members, losing over half.

Thus, Wuliang Mountain had the highest likelihood of obtaining the Heavenly God Sword.

Although the human cultivators had suffered over half casualties, the remaining ones were more united, with even smaller sects joining forces.

For example, Kongtong, Kunyu Mountain, and Hongmen joined together, forming a group of over thirty people.

This wasn't an isolated case, indicating many sects were uniting.

They probably realized that going solo wouldn't work. Had they faced those foreign races alone, they would have been overwhelmed.

But united, the three sects had a fighting chance.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Do you know where the people of Wuliang Mountain have gone?"

Murong Liuqing replied, "Not sure, but heading south can't be wrong."

Ling Zhenfei knew they were somewhat aimless, and seeing from above would be much easier. However, the Lightning Bird was scared away by a master yesterday and who knows where it flew off to.

Ling Zhenfei didn't dare use Northern Spiritual Energy to search. No doubt the Lightning Bird was also searching for them from above.

So they had no choice but to trek on foot now, which was extremely challenging and slow.

Murong Liuqing said, "Once we find our sect, we won't be bullied anymore."

Ling Zhenfei understood Murong Liuqing's thoughts; she had endured enough exclusion when her sect hadn't arrived, but now with allies, it was like a child coming home at last.

The two increased their pace. Suddenly, more explosions of Northern Spiritual Energy could be heard in the distance—it seemed another battle was raging. They exchanged looks and headed that way.

Ling Zhenfei and Murong Liuqing walked a while before discovering another battle, causing Ling Zhenfei's heart to stir.

He saw someone he'd been searching for a long time.

It was Tian Ming, currently leading a group of foreign races in assaulting some human cultivators.

The humans were outnumbered and already at a disadvantage; many cultivator corpses lay on the ground.

The foreign races' cultivators were exceptionally strong, and numerous, like Tian Ming and a few others didn't even participate actively. The humans were struggling regardless.
