Chapter 46: A Group Pursuit
“Senior Sister Mu, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!”
Xue Ziyan looked at Mu Mengyi, her eyes reflecting a trace of fear.
She noticed that Mu Mengyi's beautiful eyes were oozing with streaks of blood, and soon after, purple blood vessels appeared densely on Mu Mengyi's cheeks, quickly crawling up her neck!
Especially with Mu Mengyi's tearful purple eyes, which radiated a chilling fury!
For a moment, Mu Mengyi resembled a demon in the night, exuding a bloodthirsty and violent aura!
Despite her being at the great perfection of spirit embryo realm, the aura surging from her body made Liu Rulong feel a sense of dread!
“Senior Sister Mu, please wake up! You’re losing control!”
Xue Ziyan anxiously hugged Mu Mengyi, trying to awaken her senses.
She knew that when a cultivator loses control, they become unrecognizable to their own kin! If clarity returns, it could very well lead to a fatal outcome!
However, Xue Ziyan was unaware that Mu Mengyi had not truly lost control; at this moment, Mu Mengyi felt an inexplicable powerful force continuously pouring into her body from deep within her mind, along with a thought filled with murderous intent forcefully injected into her consciousness!
“Ziyan, step aside! I’m going to kill him to take revenge for Tan Yun.”
Xue Ziyan heard Mu Mengyi’s cold and emotionless voice, and she trembled. When her gaze met Mu Mengyi’s, she couldn't help but shiver, “Senior Sister, you haven't lost control, so what’s happening to you?”
Xue Ziyan felt that Mu Mengyi had changed; she had become unfamiliar, indifferent, and ruthless!
She unconsciously released Mu Mengyi!
She could sense that Mu Mengyi was forcefully suppressing her killing intent toward her; if she didn't let go, Mu Mengyi would surely kill her!
“Return Tan Yun’s life to me!”
Mu Mengyi’s disheveled hair moved without wind, her eyes like demonic purple orbs fixed on Liu Rulong. In an instant, she vanished from her spot, and a ten-zhang-long purple sword aura broke through the night, roaring down toward Liu Rulong!
“Clang!”
Liu Rulong vigorously brandished his sword to meet it, but an unfathomable force came from the sword body, causing the long sword to slip from his grasp!
“Pfft!”
In a panic, Liu Rulong retreated, and the purple sword aura slashed through his forehead, blood gushing out!
“So strong!”
Liu Rulong was horrified, not bothering to pick up the fallen long sword. His figure flickered several times and he was already a hundred zhang away, fleeing in disarray!
“I must kill you…”
Mu Mengyi pursued, but her voice suddenly cut off, and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious. As the traces of purple blood on her face quickly faded, her complexion turned ashen.
“Senior Sister, what’s wrong? Wake up!”
Xue Ziyan cried as she picked up Mu Mengyi, disappearing into the night soon after...
After fleeing ten miles, Liu Rulong ensured that Mu Mengyi was not pursuing him and finally breathed a sigh of relief, gasping heavily outside the Hall of Time and Space.
Thinking about Mu Mengyi's earlier surge in power, he felt puzzled and alarmed.
“Hmm?” Suddenly, Liu Rulong seemed to sense something. His brow furrowed, and his figure flickered, hiding around the corner of the street.
After a few breaths, he noticed at least three hundred black-clad figures at the great perfection of spirit embryo realm swiftly entering the Hall of Time and Space. Soon after, the space within the hall vibrated for a moment before falling silent. Clearly, the group had left through the teleportation array.
Liu Rulong's brow furrowed as he stepped into the hall and glanced at a law enforcement disciple, asking, “Do you know who they are?”
“Reporting to Senior Brother, I do not know,” the disciple said respectfully before hurriedly adding, “Senior Brother, I have something to report.”
“Speak.”
“Senior Brother, half an hour ago, your enemy Tan Yun was pursued by nine black-clad figures and escaped through the teleportation array to an unknown small secret realm.” The disciple stated, “That group just now was one of the nine black-clad figures, gathering people to hunt down Tan Yun.”
