Chapter 774: Different League (2/2)

Soren nodded.

”It was thanks to Luvile's God Power and Zugen's Damaged Mental Energy Source. Still, we don't know what might happen, so let's increase our speed.”

”No problem. I can tell Heavin's direction through our connection, so it will be easier to find him. However, I can feel that his speed increased a lot a moment ago. It seems like he's fleeing from something.”

Feifei, Lucio, and Soren narrowed their eyes.

”There's no point speculating. Let's go!”

With Luvile's Tribulation Lightning Layer around them, their group immediately rushed inside the ruins.

Heavin's group charged forward for quite some time. Eventually, they left most of the crystal demon beasts and ghosts behind during that escape. In the end, a few cultivators and demon beasts truly died in the chaos, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Fura then looked at Heavin before whispering to him.

”We might as well separate from these people. Their speed is holding us down.”

Heavin shook his head as he replied.

”We could have charged out earlier if we didn't wait for them. However, it was also thanks to them that the battle out of the enemies' encirclement went this smoothly. We better stay together. Besides, I'm not the type to simply leave others behind because they're weaker. If this was some kind of competition, then sure. But that isn't the case here. Of course, as I've always said, you really don't need to feel in debt to Liriu and me. If you think you should leave, by all means, go ahead.”

”Hmph! Are you looking down on me? I might not care about those guys, but I won't go back on my word with you two. Since you saved me before, I will definitely stick together until I pay this debt.”

Heavin smiled but didn't complain. Obviously, it would be much better if Fura stuck with them.

After some time, they stopped somewhere else where no crystal demon beasts and ghosts could be seen.

Zuran and the others then gathered with Heavin's group.

”What should we do now? It's just a matter of time before those things find us again.”

”What else can we do? We have only two choices. One, we go back and try to leave the ruins. Of course, there's no guarantee that the enemy won't follow us outside. The second is to keep looking for clues in this place like a Teleport Formation, for example.”

”Don't you think it's too weird? The ruins were empty from the start. Although the ruins are worn out, there wasn't any sign that a battle had happened for a long, long time. It feels like they only appeared after we entered the ruins as well.”

The guy who talked was a cultivator called Gon Buo.

Heavin and the others narrowed their eyes. In fact, some of them had noticed that as well, but they just didn't want to bring it out.

”Anyway, we need to decide right now. Are we going deeper, or are we going back?”

Yet, just as they were about to decide, Heavin and Fura noticed some newcomers inside their Mental Energy Scan.

”We have company!”

Immediately, everyone was on their guard, waiting for the crystal demon beasts and ghosts to come. However, what came out of the shadows was neither of them. Instead, it was three dark humanoid figures with a few dark crystals on their bodies.

Heavin, Liriu, and Fura were taken aback when they saw those guys. That's because they could feel energy similar to what Fura released before they rescued her.

”Careful. There's a high chance they can also use Mental Energy .”

”We know.”

One of the cultivators at the front felt the danger of those newcomers. So he decided to probe them by using a long-ranged attack.

”Light Piercer!”

A ray of light came from his hand, aiming straight at the enemy's head. However, the target suddenly disappeared.

*Boom!*

Before anyone could notice anything, the head of the cultivator who attacked was destroyed instead. Sure enough, these guys were in a completely different league.
