Chapter 222: Do you need help?
Translator: 549690339
In the sky, a giant bird formed of mana streaked across the horizon at an unbelievable speed.
Three dark shadows doggedly pursued it from behind, progressively closing the gap.
A gloomy voice arose, “Give up your futile struggle, there’s no escape for you.”
The mana-formed giant bird was the transformation of a man.
At the moment, he was frantically channeling his mana, even depleting his source of power, but was still unable to widen the distance. The pursuers from behind loomed closer.
His heart sank continuously, knowing if things continued this way, he would eventually be caught.
“I’m in trouble this time!”
The man’s name was Luo Yulong, of the Luo Family, with his cultivation at the first level of the mana realm.
Decades ago, he unexpectedly discovered a set of ruins where a divine weapon of unparalleled potency resided. At that time, he was only at the third level of the golden body, lacking the sufficient strength, and hence had to abandon the ruins.
Five years ago, he finally progressed into the mana realm.
After five years of strengthening his cultivation level, he had finally decided to leave the Qi Province alone two days ago.
He planned to return to the ruins to retrieve that unparalleled divine weapon.
This was his opportunity and naturally, he couldn’t report it to his family. Otherwise, in the end, the divine weapon would never fall into his hands.
This was a divine weapon of unmatched strength, and the entire Luo Family only had one, kept in the hands of the ancestor.
Once he had the divine weapon, within a few years, he could become the eleventh Sword Saint of the world.
However, Luo Yulong didn’t anticipate encountering a disciple of the Nether Sect in the mana realm.
The opponent was unreasonable, using deadly attacks from the start and even using two corpse puppets, also in the mana realm.
Fighting against three, if it weren’t for his own trump card, he would have been eliminated in the first wave of attack.
After barely managing to escape, the enemy kept relentlessly pursuing him.
He was both shocked and angry, had the Nether Sect gone mad?
As far as he remembered, there were no substantial grudges between the Luo Family and the Nether Sect.
He had never even interacted with anyone from the Nether Sect before, so why were they hell-bent on killing him?
Wasn’t the Nether Sect afraid of retaliation from the Luo Family?
These past several decades, Luo Yulong had been in seclusion to cultivate diligently.
This time he set out, quietly leaving without alarming anyone. He didn’t know about the recent rise of the Nether Sect or their widespread hunting of cultivators in the divine power realm.
Not far away, on the official road, a horse pulling a carriage suddenly reared in fright.
The coachman channeled his True Qi to steady the horse, preventing the carriage from tipping over.
Immediately after, a figure leapt into the air from the carriage, flying out.
“Gu Yang!”
Wu Er was shocked to see him not fleeing, but instead, actively advancing towards the people from the Nether Sect, and this put him in utmost terror.
Frustrated, he stomped his foot and scolded Xi Huang who was standing by, “Why didn’t you stop him?”
Xi Huang replied earnestly, “My father has his own reasons for his actions.”
“You…”
Wu Er was almost driven mad with anger, one crazy, one fool.
That was someone in the mana realm!
Within the Nether Sect, there were only three disciples in the mana realm. Thanks to a battle from eighteen years ago, each one had at least one corpse puppet in the mana realm.
Even though the person in the mana realm was only at the first level, along with the two corpse puppets, an ordinary practitioner at the first level of the mana realm stood no chance.
Even if Gu Yang were to ally with Luo Yulong, who was being hunted, they wouldn’t stand much chance of winning.
He said angrily, “If you don’t go help now, get ready to collect his corpse.”
With that, he had already disembarked from the carriage.
Xi Huang had always been unable to see through the true strength of this old man. His words made her feel a bit anxious, so she took to the air and chased after Gu Yang.
She thought to herself, “I will help my father in the fight.”
…
“Do you need help?”
Just as Luo Yulong was contemplating his escape strategy, an unexpected voice rang out.
His heart leaping with joy, he turned to look, but was instantly doused by a bucket of cold water.
The newcomer was only at the third level of the Golden Body. With this level of strength, he couldn’t even stall the enemy momentarily.
“Yes!”
Luo Yulong blurted out immediately.
Even if it could only buy a moment, it could afford him a chance to escape.
