Chapter 104: Dead End (1/2)

If Nie Tian hadn’t spent such a long time convincing the An sisters to join them, they would have been gone long before the three Blood sect experts came along.

If they hadn’t been discovered, Wu Xing wouldn’t have been forced to make a move and therefore expose their whereabouts.

However, now that the three experts from the Blood Sect had descended into the courtyard, they would undoubtedly find the An sisters no matter what happened.

If Nie Tian chose to leave they would be able to avoid a fierce battle, but the An sisters would most likely be killed.

Annoyed with Nie Tian, Dowager Weng from the Mystic Mist sect whispered, “Nothing is more dangerous than affection!”

The remaining two disciples from the Blood sect were still yelling to their nearby companions.

“Wu Xing is here!”

“Wu Xing from the Cloudsoaring sect!”

The Blood sect experts in the vicinity all heard their cries. They descended from the sky and rapidly converged onto their location.

“Damn!”

He knew that person.

Wu Xing looked over with rapt attention and saw a burly, one-armed expert from the Blood sect in blood-colored garments.

“Liu Yan!” Wu Xing shouted. “You lead them and take them to the place Pan Tao talked about. Dowager Weng and I will stay behind to stop them.”

Dowager Weng also made a quick decision. “Zheng Bin, Han Qian, you go with them!”

At that moment, the six experts from the Blood sect had already joined their two comrades who had been screaming for help.

The one-armed man from the Blood sect sneered and said, “Wu Xing! Dowager Weng! Long time no see! Over the past half a year, your four sects have teamed up and killed god knows how many people from my sect! It’s time that you paid your debts!”

With a wave of his right hand, a large number of blood-colored discs immediately whirled out, whistling through the air.

They let out ear-piercing whistles while emanating a suffocating bloody light. Only seconds later, Wu Xing was trapped.

After seeing their friend make a move, the other experts from the Blood sect bolted forward to besiege Dowager Weng.

Receiving his master’s order, Liu Yan didn’t hesitate at all before urging the people around him to move out. “Let’s go!”

The first thing he noticed was that a few Blood sect disciples in the center of the valley seemed to have noticed their activities, and had abandoned their own targets to rapidly head in their direction.

Liu Yan knew perfectly well that once they were surrounded, they wouldn’t have any chance of making it to the foot of the stone peak.

Shi Yi and Luo Xin were also very familiar with Wu Xing’s temper. They knew that once he had made a decision, they, as his disciples, could only obey unconditionally.

Therefore, none of them tried to stay behind and fight alongside Wu Xing. Instead, they helped Liu Yan urge the crowd to move out.

Their unanimous decision stopped Nie Tian from having any ideas of staying and fighting to the death. Hence, he followed Jiang Lingzhu and Ye Gumo to chase after Liu Yan and the others.

Jiang Lingzhu was running while grumbling towards Nie Tian, “Hey you! An Ying didn’t even smile at you once when we were in the Green Illusion dimension. Even when you encountered great danger, she hardly tried at all to help you. Why do you care about her so much?”

Ye Gumo jumped in and said, “He’s fallen for her. There’s no other explanation.”

An Shiyi and An Ying, who were trailing behind, heard the two of them berating Nie Tian. However, the two sisters didn’t say anything.

Under Liu Yan’s lead, the group of people followed Pan Tao’s directions and quickly left Wu Xing and Dowager Weng.

From time to time, Nie Tian turned around to look back, and noticed that Wu Xing and Dowager Weng seemed to have been gradually surrounded by the experts from the Blood sect.

A sudden rush of guilt bloomed in Nie Tian’s heart.

“I’m sorry,” An Ying approached him and quietly apologized.

An Shiyi pursed her mouth, and didn’t say anything, however her beautiful eyes were filled with apology.

The two of them were fully aware that if it weren’t for them, Nie Tian wouldn’t have stopped in that courtyard even for a second and probably would not have been noticed by the experts from the Blood sect.

The An sisters knew that they would have been killed beyond the shadow of a doubt, but Wu Xing and Dowager Weng wouldn’t have been trapped in such a dangerous situation.
