An hour later, above the Mountain Gate at the halfway point of Huangfu Sacred Mountain, strong winds howled as the Secret Realm Gate of Huangfu Secret Realm slowly opened!
“Whoosh!”
The heavenly slayer demon ape carried Tan Yun as they soared upward, suspended amidst the vast sky stretching for tens of thousands of miles.
“Buzz—”
“Buzz—”
The void rippled like water, and Tan Yun unleashed his spiritual sense, which surged forth like an invisible wave, extending rapidly in all directions…
After a while, Tan Yun discovered four corpses lying among the mountains five hundred thousand miles to the north.
From the clothing of the corpses, it was evident that the four deceased were all enforcement elders of the Holy Gate!
“Ruxue, you must be safe, otherwise, how would I explain this to your sister!”
Tan Yun, anxious and restless, continued to release his spiritual sense in search of Nangong Ruxue’s trace.
When his spiritual sense reached seventy thousand miles to the north, he found an enforcement elder, who had lost an arm and was at the seventh level of the soul pulse realm, maneuvering a spirit vessel and carrying the unconscious Nangong Ruxue, fleeing into the distance!
Nangong Ruxue’s face was pale, and she was on the brink of death, with dozens of horrifying sword wounds covering her chest, right arm, left arm, and the rest of her body!
At this moment, three thousand miles behind the enforcement elder, a spirit vessel carrying thirty masked men in black was relentlessly pursuing the enforcement disciple's spirit vessel!
Through his spiritual sense, Tan Yun could see that all thirty masked men were of soul pulse realm cultivation, with ten at the seventh level and twenty at the sixth level.
The thirty men stood upright on the spirit vessel, their eyes filled with indifference, clearly trained professionals!
Tan Yun discerned that the spirit vessel controlled by the enforcement elder was a superior sub-holy artifact, while the spirit vessel of the thirty black-clad men was a top-grade sub-holy artifact.
It was evident that the speed of the black-clad men’s vessel was faster than that of the enforcement elder. If this continued, they would be caught in just over an hour, and the consequences were unimaginable!
“Old Ape, hurry!” In the sky, Tan Yun urgently commanded, and then the heavenly slayer demon ape carried Tan Yun and shot toward the northern horizon…
One hour later.
Over the vast mountain ranges, the enforcement elder maneuvering the spirit vessel, gazed back at the thirty masked men in black, who were less than a hundred miles away, his eyes filled with despair!
He understood very well that with his strength at the seventh level of the soul pulse realm, he was utterly incapable of protecting Nangong Ruxue!
“Who are you?!” the middle-aged elder roared, “I am Elder Wang of the enforcement faction of the Holy Gate. If you dare to kill me, you will die too!”
Upon hearing this, mocking laughter rang out from the spirit vessel behind:
“Hahaha, you scare me! Aren’t you just Wang Yuan? I recognize you!”
“Wang Yuan, let me tell you, if you kill Nangong Ruxue right now, I can spare your worthless life!”
“Think carefully, do you want to live, or die together with Nangong Ruxue… Ah… Hahaha!”
“…”
Hearing this, the arm-lost Wang Yuan gripped his great sword tightly with his left hand, pointing at the thirty black-clad men who had already appeared fifty miles away, resolutely saying, “Since I am tasked with protecting Nangong Ruxue, I will definitely not kill her!”
“Come at me! I, Wang Yuan, will break even if I kill one, and profit if I kill two!”
Fifty miles away, on the spirit vessel, the leader among the black-clad men at the seventh level of the soul pulse realm glanced coldly at the three men beside him, and said icily: “Tear Wang Yuan to pieces, then bring me Nangong Ruxue’s head!”
“Understood!” The three responded, and in an instant, three towering whirlwinds, each rising three hundred feet high, formed around them, shooting toward the spirit vessel fifty miles away!
