With his mind racing, Shen Luo quickly gave a bow to Master Fengyang and leaped out of the hole, fleeing towards the distance.
“Master, you should escape with us.” Tian Tiesheng hesitated for a moment, grabbed the sleeve of Master Fengyang and said.
“Stop your meaningless chatter, go now!” Master Fengyang swung his sleeve, a force wrapped around Tian Tiesheng, throwing him out of the hole.
“Master, take care of yourself. We will find a way to continue the tradition of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.” Senior Brother Niu and Ding Yuan saw an escape route, immediately rushed over and escaped through the light shield hole as well.
Master Fengyang paid no attention to the two, standing in front of the hole, staring at the flying zombie in mid-air, a look of resolve crossing his face.
…
Having escaped from the light shield hole, without any cause to delay, Shen Luo and three others ran continually forwards.
The group avoided main roads, choosing only lesser-known paths. After running for more than ten miles, having already left Qinghua Mountain far behind, they finally stopped near a small river.
Shen Luo didn’t want to stop, but Senior Brother Niu and Ding Yuan lacked the stamina, they begged without caring for their pride. The two men were now completely terrified and dared not stay behind alone.
Being soft-hearted, Tian Tiesheng suggested a short rest. Shen Luo, not wanting to refuse, stopped.The surrounding area was a wasteland, with only the faint silhouette of a village in the far-off distance.
Exhausted, Senior Brother Niu and Ding Yuan fell to the riverbank to drink water and wash their faces.
Shen Luo didn’t feel tired. Looking back, he could still clearly see Qinghua Mountain, the mountain peak was still covered by the grey light shield.
Only from this distance could one truly comprehend how massive the light shield was, standing like a towering gray giant in the distance.
“With enemies so formidable, it seems like the Spring and Autumn Pavilion really cannot escape this disaster…” Tian Tiesheng, looking towards Qinghua Mountain in the distance, murmured, a painful look on his face, and his eyes filled with hot tears.
“These are things we cannot change, we can only accept. Senior Brother Tian, you don’t need to take it so hard. What are your plans for the future?” Shen Luo patted Tian Tiesheng’s shoulder, to comfort him, before changing the subject.
“I will go back home to hide for a while. Junior Brother Shen, what about you?” Tian Tiesheng took a deep breath, put away his sadness and said.
“I guess I’ll go home as well.” Shen Luo said, his eyes slightly unfocused.
He was now on the path of cultivating immortality, a whole new world was before him. Living a normal life like marrying and having children was unlikely, but he still wanted to go home once.
As for what would happen afterward, he hadn’t thought it over yet.
“After all, those demons can fly and escape through earth, here isn’t considered safe either. We should part ways here.” Shen Luo quickly collected his thoughts and said.
“Yes, my Senior Brothers, let’s go our separate ways from here.” Tian Tiesheng nodded, calling out to Senior Brother Niu and Ding Yuan.
“That’s fine too, you two go ahead. I’m sorry for how I treated you in the past!” Senior Brother Niu had run so long and hard after experiencing the sudden change at the gate, he felt safe here and relaxed. Completely out of strength, he could barely move and said weakly, “I have no energy left, I want to rest a little longer.”
Shen Luo was already slightly disgusted with Niu and the other senior in his heart. Hearing that they wished to rest, he was clearly not going to wait. Without further delay, he gave a fist and palm salute to Tian Tiesheng to bid him farewell, then turned around and started to stride off.
Just as he’d taken two steps, his face changed dramatically. His shoulder slid sideways, and he quickly moved three feet to the side.
The instant he moved aside, a green palm appeared out of thin air, grabbing at the place where he had just stood, the air making a “swish” sound as if an explosion had just occurred.
This palm was three to four times bigger than a normal palm, covered with bulging muscles and coarse green hair. It looked both terrifying and disgusting.
Cold sweat broke out on Shen Luo’s back. Had he not fought many fierce battles in his dreams and become much sharper than an ordinary person, he would surely have been caught by the green palm just now.
He shot forward two steps, then turned back around, freezing in place.
A short distance behind him, Tian Tiesheng slowly retracted his hairy right arm, looking surprised.
Senior Brother Niu and Ding Yuan, who had been drinking water by the river, were now lying motionless on the ground, clearly devoid of breath.
“Senior Brother Tian, what’s going on? You’re not Tian… who are you?” Shen Luo quickly recovered and asked coldly.
“Hehe, Junior Brother, you are very good, no wonder Master Luo gave you the Pure Yang Scripture. Come now, hand it over willingly. For the sake of our few years as brothers, I will try to make your death less painful.” Tian Tiesheng didn’t answer Shen Luo’s question, but scoffed.
As he spoke, his other arm also quickly grew bigger and was covered with thick green hair.
These two arms were as thick as his waist, they looked extremely disproportionate. However, the muscles on them were well-defined, giving a chilling impression to those who saw them.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Upon seeing Tian Tiesheng’s transformation, a hint of surprise flashed in Shen Luo’s eyes as he spoke in a cold tone.
“Why bother pretending? I paid a great price to get this Yang-sensing Talisman, specifically to sense that Pure Yang Scripture, there’s no way I could be mistaken. If it wasn’t for the need to avoid drawing attention, I would have taken it back at the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.” As Tian Tiesheng spoke, he opened his other hand to reveal a white Talisman etched with a faint white spiritual light.
Without performing any spells, the white Talisman suddenly brightened.
Shen Luo immediately felt a warmth from the stone box at his back, threads of red light seeping from within, his heart sank at the sensation.
“So it’s in that bundle, hehe, those fools, only thinking about fighting those with higher powers. The people of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion are not fools. How could they entrust the Pure Yang Scripture to those people to keep it safe at a time like this? It was worth spending so much effort to infiltrate the Pavilion early. Once I bring the scripture back and present it to that person, I want to see what they have to say then. Haha, haha…” Tian Tiesheng looked at the bundle on Shen Luo’s body, a glint of greed in his eyes, laughing arrogantly as he did so.
Upon hearing these words, Shen Luo was taken aback and immediately turned to run towards the nearby river.
“Trying to escape? Do you really think you can get away?” With a grim smile, Tian Tiesheng’s legs also quickly sprouted green hair as he took strides to chase after Shen Luo.
His movements were surprisingly agile. One step was able to cover tens of feet in an instance. In the blink of an eye, he had caught up with Shen Luo. His two green arms brought two gusts of wind with them as they slapped down towards Shen Luo’s head.
But Shen Luo, seemingly stepping onto a rope-like white shadow, suddenly increased his speed several times, evading the green giant hands once more, dove into the river with a “splash”, and disappeared.
Tian Tiesheng exclaimed in surprise, taking two steps forward to look at the churning river water, but he didn’t go in after Shen Luo.
“Want to hide in the river to escape? Tsk tsk, it’s a pity that this river is too small, and there are no weeds or reeds on the riverbank for you to hide. I wonder how long you can hide in there?” Tian Tiesheng sneered, his hands grabbed two rocks, about the size of a bowl, and held them ready. His eyes scanned the river’s surface.
A few breaths later, the water of the river began to churn and a dark shadow emerged from the bottom.
