Chapter 77 - Su Linger. (1/2)

Azure Demon Continent is the third continent on Blue Pole Star, also the one where Yun Che spent his second life.

It was filled with lush mountains and resources – three million miles away from Profound Continent and Illusionary Demon Realm.

It had three strongest sects that rivaled Sacred Grounds in Profound Continent or used to rival, but since cultivators had an advantage called Guild on Profound Continent – its overall strength has already outdone both continents; now standing at the top.

The three strongest sects being Heaven Thwarting Sect, Seven Stars Divine Palace, and Soaring Celestial Sword Sect. The strongest cultivation achieved by these three sects was Peak of Sovereign Profound Realm, which was enough to make them overlord of Azure Demon Continent.

But still, its overall strength was lower than Illusionary Demon Realm, making it weakest among the three.

In the far east of this continent was a country called Supwake Country. It has thirteen divine mountains, one of them being Grandwake Mountain – located in the east of Supwake Country.

At the bottom of this mountain was Grandwake Clan – the strongest clan in this region.

Since Grandwake Mountain was one of the divine mountains. It contained abundant resources that Grandwake Clan used for its nourishment.

On the east side of the Grandwake Clan was a forest, lush with greenery. Inside the forest, a girl that looked to in her early 10s, maybe 13 to 14 years of age, was running and gasping for breath.

(A/N: It is a little different in the timeline at which it occurred from the connon.)

She ran faster and faster without any aim. She knew that she would die or even worse could happen to her if she were to stop as she was being followed by five people, each having the cultivation of Peak of Earth Realm.

”Where do you think you are running, little girl?” One of the pursuers said.

”Che! She is fast. Just what is her legs are made off?” One of them clicked his tongue in annoyance.

The girl becomes frightened, hearing them. She was already out of breath as she was running for some time now.

'Father, save me!' She thought in her mind.

Suddenly, she tripped from the branch of a tree that was protruding out of the earth. She lost her balance and fell straight ahead.

Scared, she closed her eyes, but to her surprise, she did not hit the ground but something fleshy.

Startled by sudden development, she opened her eyes and looked at the person she hit.

He looked down at her and smiled, gently, that made her heart skip a beat, ”Are you alright, young lady?”

Silent took over as the girl did not know how to answer. But then she remembered that she was being followed and hurriedly said, ”Hurry! Ran away from here! There are bad people following me; they will hurt you, big brother!”

She did not know who he was, but she also did not want him to get hurt because of her.

The young man, who of obviously Wang Lei, raised a brow. He smiled and said, ”It is okay. Can you tell me what is going on?”

The girl, seeing her confident smile, calmed down. She did not know what, but there was something about this man that made her calm down.

It felt like even if the sky fell, he would shoulder it.

”I am being followed by the people of Blackwood Stronghold! They are very strong! You should run from here.” She said, trying to persuade him so at least he could run away.
