Chapter 1362 - Pursuing after the Quiet Icy Mountain Master (1/2)

Translator: Chaos_  Editor: Chaos_

Because this team that Xue Ying was in had been revealed, they no longer cared about hiding their presence. Instead, they used their fastest speed to dash over.

Quiet Icy Mountain Master was also receiving consecutive pieces of news.

“Among the team of cultivators include Scarlet Cloud City City Master ‘Wu Xiao’, ‘Great Emperor Heaven Calamity’, ‘Monarch Ardent Creek’…”

“The team of cultivators are flying over at a speed approximately three times faster than ours! They are moving too fast and are currently charging directly towards us.”

More and more information came in one after another.

Quiet Icy Mountain Master’s expression became grave and stern.

“Chi chi chi~” Suddenly, the light of those golden inscriptions marked on the shackles intensified. That Chaotic Origin Prisoner ‘Quiet Icy Mountain Master’ could not help but let out a low growl from agonizing pain. This pain had seeped deep into every single part of his body. It had also seeped deep into his soul. After all, this was a torture arranged by the Overlords specially for them.

‘They are actually obstructing our path of return, and have gathered quite a few formidable cultivators.’ Quiet Icy Mountain Master gritted his teeth pondering.

He had two choices.

Firstly, he could send out all his protectors to obstruct the cultivators. He had a total of 3,000 protectors by his side and 2,000 additional responsible for scouting nearby! With a command, he would have a huge number of protectors defending him and that would most likely give him some time. And when he moved alone, he would use his fastest speed to return to his territory! Even though his fastest speed might not surpass that of the fastest cultivator in Scarlet Cloud City, the gap was not too big.

If his subordinates could tangle with the cultivators for a slightly longer period, he would have the chance to return back after taking a detour!

After all, the closer he was to his territory, the stronger he would be!

But the moment his periodic torture erupts… the closer he got to his territory, the more intensified it would be. That was why he was forced to go ‘out for a patrol’.

‘It is simply too dangerous.’

‘If I sent out all my protectors, the moment they fail to delay the cultivators for a slight bit of time, the cultivators would have chased up to me! If I were to face them alone, I would be in life-threatening danger. If I were to be closer to my territory by then, I might perhaps survive. Otherwise, I would lose my life.’ Quiet Icy Mountain Master thought. Even though he was suffering from intense agonizing torture, he did not feel willing to die like this.

He was still waiting.

Waiting for the day an expert of their Innate Chaotic Origin Lifeforms come to save them!

‘The other option is to escape with all my protectors! Even though it is impossible for me to escape from the cultivators, I can still battle and is safer.’ Quiet Icy Mountain Master thought.

Escaping together, he would have 3,000 protectors around him! And 2,000 more in the surrounding area to converge on him.

During the process of escaping, he could always order his subordinates to converge on him.

When the battle began, the number of protectors he would have could increase to 6,000 or even 7,000… with so many protectors, even if that team of cultivators was strong, they would be helpless.

‘I shall escape together with them.’

Quiet Icy Mountain Master made his decision.

Actually.

If he knew about Xue Ying’s soul technique that could easily eliminate all the protectors, he would have chosen the first path!

With so many protectors delaying time for him, he would then escape alone! And that would give him some hope of escaping. After all, the closer he got to his territory, the stronger he would be, and the faster he would get.

It’s just that he was unaware of Xue Ying’s soul technique.

Hence, he chose the safer and more ‘certain’ second path.

******

The protectors of Chaotic Origin Prisoner ‘Quiet Icy Mountain Master’ started streaming in and converging on his position. Very soon, 5,000 protectors had gathered. They were even escaping in a detour. At the same time when they ran, many more subordinates were gathering on them.

Everything happened within the examination of Xue Ying’s team of cultivators.

“That Chaotic Origin Prisoner has really chosen the method of escaping with his protectors.” Wu Xiao sneered.

“Only with his protectors would he feel safer.” City Master Nine-Headed sneered, “He does not dare to gamble, nor is he willing to. He is afraid of dying in our hands! After all, he is a High-Graded Chaotic Origin Lifeform. If he died in the hands of us cultivators who aren’t even Chaotic Origin Lifeforms, it’ll be a huge humiliation to him. It’s a pity that his thinking is wrong. We have Monarch Flying Snow.”

“With Monarch Flying Snow, he is definitely dead this time.”

“Right, he is definitely going to die.”

Quite a few cultivators in the team had once dealt with Quiet Icy Mountain Master before.

“Hu!”

The entire team was engulfed by a huge golden bird.

The huge golden bird was resplendent and dazzling. With a wave of its wings, it easily arced through the sky, moving at a speed so fast that it alarmed Xue Ying. This was unquestionably the fastest cultivator in Scarlet Cloud City.
