Chapter 327: Chapter 267: Mountain and Sea Great Wilderness Scripture·Sea Scripture_4
It seemed deliberate, intentionally luring the four from the Martial Immortal Alliance and the Blood Evil Sect out of the city.
Further back.
Chu Ming followed unhurriedly, locking onto the five with the Sword Gourd Spirit.
Dark clouds covered the full moon, and the sky was as dark as ink.
Five figures quickly sped ahead, soon crossing the city wall and rushing out.
After leaving the city, the Silver Moon Thief Zhuge Rui suddenly increased his speed, fleeing into the distant mountain forest.
"Hmph, he won’t escape!" Guo Xiang and Han Yong from the Martial Immortal Alliance took out something that seemed capable of sensing the unknown Silver Moon Thief.
After chasing for a while and realizing they couldn’t catch up, the two from the Blood Evil Sect followed behind the Martial Immortal Alliance pair.
"Brother Guo, should we deal with the Blood Evil Sect first?" Han Yong’s tone was icy.
"Ignore the Blood Evil Sect, the tracking mark on the Crimson Beauty Leaf won’t last long. I’ve already notified others; if those from the Blood Evil Sect don’t leave, they’re dead for sure."
"..."
Zhuge Rui dashed into the forest, maintaining his high speed until he felt he had shaken off his pursuers, stopping to catch his breath atop a lush tall tree.
"Did I shake them off?" He looked back warily.
Though he had anticipated the Crimson Beauty Leaf from the Rainbow Jade Pavilion was a trap, he never imagined four Meridian Unlocking Realm masters would ambush him there.
Moreover, it was Zhuge Rui himself who led the Lindu County Governor’s Office away; otherwise, there’d be five Meridian Unlocking Realm masters!
"The four aren’t allies, nor are they elite from the Lindu County Commandery Mansion..." Zhuge Rui thought skeptically, "Two have a bloodthirsty aura, likely from the Blood Evil Sect, and the other two?"
But as he pondered.
"Go, they’re on our tail."
A voice devoid of any emotion suddenly sounded.
Zhuge Rui’s face instantly changed.
"Who?!"
In the night, in the deep forest, a sudden voice by his ear, would scare anyone.
Moreover, Zhuge Rui was a Meridian Unlocking Realm expert with remarkable perception; if someone approached, he’d be the first to know.
He looked around but found nothing, nor did he receive a response.
Just as Zhuge Rui’s heart raced, leaves rustled behind him.
"Not good, they’re really here!"
"How did they know I... the Crimson Beauty Leaf is the problem!"
In an instant, Zhuge Rui realized the issue.
He hurried to use a Secret Technique to escape.
This time, his face was anxious as he fought a difficult mental battle.
Throwing away the Crimson Beauty Leaf could ensure his escape, but without it, he couldn’t refine the Yangtian Elixir for his brother Zhuge Chen.
"Little Chen’s condition is worsening; I can’t delay any longer!"
He gritted his teeth and sped up again.
"Tracking methods typically have distance and time limitations; even if I exhaust my Qi Blood, I must keep this Crimson Beauty Leaf!"
He sprinted wildly, soon once again leaving the Martial Immortal Alliance and Blood Evil Sect far behind.
At the back.
"Damn, weren’t we told that the Silver Moon Thief only had the strength of Nine Meridian? Why is he faster than us?!"
Guo Xiang and Han Yong from the Martial Immortal Alliance, one in the Ten Meridians, the other in the Eleven Meridian, their realms were higher, but speed couldn’t compare.
"Stop talking and keep chasing."
"..."
On the other side.
"Ghost, should we keep chasing? If we continue, the Martial Immortal Alliance and Lindu County folks will arrive."
"Chase! The Blood Shadow Envoy is already on the way!"
"Blood Shadow Envoy?! Ghost, are you sure? Why would the Blood Shadow Envoy come for a Silver Moon Thief..."
"The Silver Moon Thief possesses the core of the Silver Moon Armor, the Silver Moon Heart Mirror!"
"..."
In the shadows.
"So, the core of the Silver Moon Armor is called the Silver Moon Heart Mirror?"
"No wonder it resonates with the four Silver Moon Artifacts on me."
Two miles away, Chu Ming lightly stepped atop the trees, steadily keeping his distance.
"Blood Shadow Envoy? I wonder how strong they are?"
...
In the front.
Zhuge Rui again used a Secret Technique to further distance himself by ten miles.
Just as he was about to catch his breath.
"They’re here." The abrupt voice sounded again in his ear.
Zhuge Rui’s heart shook, but he wasn’t as panicked.
He took out two elixirs and swallowed them, continuing to flee.
However, before escaping a hundred meters, Zhuge Rui’s hairs stood on end.
Next, he saw a blood-red fist explosively heading towards him.
In an instant, the air in the forest seemed to twist along.
Zhuge Rui’s face went pale, channeling all his Qi Blood to avoid the punch.
But the Blood Fist was so fast, far exceeding his reaction.
