Chapter 2097 - 2086: None Shall Escape

A dozen figures burst from the water, led by a woman whose heroic spirit was overwhelming, with an imposing aura that soared to the heavens.

Chen Zijie, who appeared astonished, beamed with delight upon recognizing the figure, and exclaimed aloud.

"Senior Sister!"

"It’s Senior Sister!"

Others, including Muu Xinrui and Liang Pei’er, were overjoyed and shouted loudly.

The woman who emerged from the water with the group, upon seeing Lin Tian and the others, visibly relaxed her expression.

But soon after.

Her face turned stern, and she shouted, "Chen Zijie, what happened? Master barely managed to let you escape, so why have you returned?"

"Senior Sister, please don’t be anxious..."

Chen Zijie looked at the woman with a stern face and could only smile wryly.

This woman was none other than Yuan Meixuan, the leading disciple of the younger generation on Green Cloud Island!

Her cultivation was equally terrifying.

She possessed a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation!

Stronger than He Qingrong!

She was the top core disciple on Green Cloud Island!

And also the Senior Sister of Green Cloud Island!

"What happened?"

Yuan Meixuan sensed there was a reason and immediately asked.

"It was people from Deadly Valley!"

Chen Zijie said angrily, biting her lip: "We managed to escape and followed Master’s instructions to meet with people from Deadly Valley and seek refuge there... but we didn’t expect them to be treacherous, repaying kindness with betrayal..."

Chen Zijie quickly recounted the previous ordeal.

Finally, she emphasized that Lin Tian saved them!

"Senior!"

Yuan Meixuan was taken aback, her gaze falling on Lin Tian, examining him for a while, and then noticing He Qingrong in Lin Tian’s hand, her beautiful eyes narrowed.

"The people of Deadly Valley deserve to die! We should never have trusted those demon cultivators to change their ways!"

Yuan Meixuan also spoke angrily, but she shifted her tone, coldly glancing at Lin Tian, saying, "However, Seventh Junior Sister... could he have really killed Ji Ping? I think... this is a ploy sacrificing He Qingrong and others! Now we might be walking into a trap!"

A ploy?

Chen Zijie’s face froze, instinctively looking back at Lin Tian with suspicion.

But considering Ji Ping and the others were indeed killed by Lin Tian, the cost of this ploy seemed too high!

"Senior Sister, the young master isn’t a bad person! He even saved me before!"

Muu Xinrui quickly shook her head at Yuan Meixuan, urgently explaining.

However, Yuan Meixuan didn’t believe it!

She shook her head, saying coldly, "Who is Ji Ping? With Fake Core Realm cultivation, killing an average Golden Core Cultivator is as easy as turning a hand! How did he do it? Moreover... what if he’s from another Demon Sect?"

Lin Tian was just too young!

In anyone’s eyes, it was impossible for him to have strength comparable to a Golden Core Cultivator!

Furthermore, that was Ji Ping!

The infamous demon pill of the Cultivation Domain that invoked fear in many!

Chen Zijie and Muu Xinrui were momentarily speechless, not knowing how to explain.

Even though they had witnessed Lin Tian’s terrifying power first-hand!

And what Yuan Meixuan said about other Demon Sect cultivators was not impossible!

As a result.

Many Green Cloud Island disciples instinctively took a few steps back from Lin Tian.

Seeing this.

Lin Tian was momentarily speechless.

He tossed He Qingrong to Yuan Meixuan’s feet, coldly saying, "I don’t have time for this nonsense! Lead the way, I want to go to Green Cloud Island, I’m looking for someone! Her name is Tang Shuqi, she should be with the people of Xingluo Mansion! If you know, tell me now, or take me there..."

Tang Shuqi?

There is no such person on Green Cloud Island!

And saying she’s with the people of Xingluo Mansion?

Could it be that this person wasn’t after Green Cloud Island?

Yuan Meixuan raised her beautiful brows, looking surprised.

At this, her face slightly relaxed a bit from her vigilant expression, shaking her head at Lin Tian, she said, "Returning to Green Cloud Island is suicide! I just led people out, and behind us are experts from Xingluo Mansion pursuing us! We must leave immediately!"

As she said this, Yuan Meixuan’s face immediately turned tense.

If you looked closely, you could see she was a bit disheveled, with an injured arm!

"Senior Sister, how is Master now?"

Chen Zijie’s face was full of urgency, asking.

"We can’t worry about Master now, we barely broke through and can’t go back! Master is powerful, the people of Xingluo Mansion can’t easily attack the mountain gate!"

Yuan Meixuan said, her face firm, "The most important thing now is for us to leave first, we can’t become burdens for Master! Otherwise, if we’re captured, Master would have to open the mountain gate to rescue us!"

Hearing this, Chen Zijie’s face changed suddenly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

At the same time, she glanced at Lin Tian, her face showing hesitation.

Returning to the sect, Chen Zijie was also apprehensive.

They lacked strength and couldn’t help much at all.

But out of concern for the sect, they wanted to return to help!

Meanwhile, if Lin Tian asked them to lead the way, could they refuse?

Now.

They were caught in a dilemma!

"Lead the way!"

Lin Tian’s face darkened, he shouted.

This loud shout made Chen Zijie and the others tremble, their faces turning pale, eyes filled with fear.

But at this moment, Muu Xinrui came forward, her voice clear and crisp, saying, "Senior Sister, you guys go now, I’ll take the young master inside!"

"Young master, come with me!"

Muu Xinrui immediately grabbed Lin Tian’s hand, saying, "This small island is very secluded, typically only we core disciples know of this Stone Bridge! Because once you leave this small archipelago, there’s an illusion array outside, ordinary people can’t see it! And even if they get inside, they’ll get lost! So it’s both secretive and safe..."

"Senior Sister, you all go quickly! I’ll stay to help the young master!"

Lin Tian had saved her twice, and Muu Xinrui was extremely grateful to Lin Tian!

She was young, but she knew how to repay kindness!

Even though returning to the sect was highly dangerous, she showed no fear at all!

Seeing this, Lin Tian felt quite gratified!

Muu Xinrui’s mindset was far superior to the others!

This young girl was well-behaved and kind!

"Alright, you take the young master. No one can lay a finger on you while I’m around!"

Lin Tian smiled, patting Muu Xinrui’s head, nodding.

When it came to protecting Muu Xinrui’s safety, Lin Tian was extremely confident!

Even against a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, as long as it wasn’t a sneak attack, and as long as he stood firm, no one could touch the person he wanted to protect!

"No way!"

But Yuan Meixuan suddenly stopped them, firmly saying, "Xinrui is our greatest hope on Green Cloud Island now! Her talent in Sword Dao is even more remarkable than Seventh Junior Sister, she can’t take the risk of returning!"

Although Muu Xinrui joined Green Cloud Island midway.

Almost everyone on Green Cloud Island saw her as the sect’s greatest hope for the future!

Moreover, the current sect master of Green Cloud Island, Zhou Xue, was subtly nurturing Muu Xinrui as a successor!

The next sect master could very well be Muu Xinrui!

Even Yuan Meixuan and Chen Zijie were sincerely convinced of this!

Previously, Chen Zijie was the best choice, but now there was Muu Xinrui!

Even Chen Zijie was convinced!

"Hahaha... Don’t bother arguing, none of you will escape!"

But suddenly, a wild laugh echoed from above the Stone Bridge.

Several figures, like flying fish, darted out from beneath the sea.
