Episode 19: Pursuit!

  When the first ray of sunlight appeared on the eastern horizon with a hint of purple mist spreading across the land, the night's time had finally passed, and the red sun rose, gently dispelling the last remnants of chill from the evening.

  In a sparse and quiet forest, two rays of light fell to the ground, transforming into two figures, both wearing black robes. One had a black and white sword on his back, while the other was extremely strange, with a pair of agile wings growing from his back.

  These two were none other than Xiao Yunfei and Dan Chenzi who were on their way to Mount Emei.

  "Let's take a rest here, Brother Danchenzi. We've been rushing for one night and it's quite tiring." Xiao Yunfei smiled and said: "We'll wait and see what the person behind us will do next."

  Danchenzi also smiled slightly and said: "You're so sure that someone is following us? What if there isn't, wouldn't we be wasting a whole day?"

  Xiao Yunfei let out a helpless sigh and said, "I don't want to believe it either, but look!"

  "Zi Lei Jing Tian!" Xiaoyunfei let out a low shout, and with a raise of his hand, a purple lightning bolt flashed and materialized into a massive light screen that enveloped the surroundings. Suddenly, an illusion appeared on the surface of the Purple Lightning Mirror Sky, displaying the scene from last night after the two of them had left:

  The void suddenly shattered, and a slightly disheveled figure emerged from the void outside the domain, tumbling out with curses in his mouth, saying something unknown. He then chased after Xiang Yunfei and Dan Chenzi's departing direction, flying rapidly towards them.

  "What is this?" Dan Chenzi's eyebrows furrowed, his heart extremely surprised, both surprised by Xiao Yunfei's keen spiritual awareness, that someone had actually come after him, and surprised by Xiao Yunfei's mysterious and unfathomable divine powers!

  Xiao Yunfei chuckled and said, "I'm not at ease, so I didn't retrieve the remaining energy after the Thunder Spear exploded. I wanted to verify whether someone was really chasing after me."

  "It seems now that your guess was correct, these mysterious people are extremely powerful and have supernatural abilities, we must be doubly careful," Dan Chenzi asked puzzled: "But what I don't understand is, why do they keep tracking our footsteps without letting go?"

  "Danchenzi, don't be suspicious anymore, they indeed all came for me." Xiao Yunfei said with a bitter smile; "Because of the big battle with Youquan Lao Guai that night, Guanyue Dashi was actually almost fallen, only leaving behind a wisp of residual soul which I saved. This time going to Emei Mountain is to ask Bai Mei Zhen Ren for help, sending Guanyue Dashi's residual soul back into reincarnation."

  He wasn't hiding anything from Dan Chenzi, in fact, with Dan Chenzi's intelligence, he had already begun to suspect something was amiss after discovering that someone was following him repeatedly. Since the two were now together on this path, it would be better to clarify things rather than hide them and risk giving rise to unexpected consequences.

  In fact, Dan Chenzi didn't expect that by casually asking, Xiao Yunfei would explain the reason. After a slight pause, he immediately said: "Guangyue Dashi fought bravely against the old monster of Youquan and fell, which is truly admirable. Escorting Guangyue Dashi's remaining soul to Emei Mountain for reincarnation is something we cultivators cannot decline."

  Xiao Yunfei nodded to him and the two of them walked forward, one in front of the other. The person behind was unclear in his intentions, so letting him follow would always be a potential problem. Therefore, they wanted to eliminate that unstable factor before returning to Emei Mountain.

  However, their calculations were good, but the subsequent development of things was clearly beyond the imagination of Xiao Yunfei and Dan Chenzi. When they found out, it was already a bit late.

  After proceeding forward for over ten minutes, Xiao Yunfeng and Dan Chenzi suddenly stopped in their tracks, turned around, and Xiao Yunfeng loudly shouted: "You've been following us for so long, shouldn't you show yourself now?"

  The sound echoed through the mountains, like thunder and lightning, but behind it was surprisingly quiet. Just as the two of them furrowed their brows, a gust of dark wind suddenly howled, and in the mountains, a figure suddenly appeared from behind, rushing towards a thicket on the left.

  "Is it him?" Danchenzi asked aloud.

  Xiao Yunfurrowed his brow and hesitated, saying: "I'm not sure."

  "Just follow him and you'll see," said Dan Chenzi, chasing after the figure.

  Xiao Yunfei had a faint feeling that something was off, but since Dan Chenzi had followed him, he couldn't just abandon him and leave, so they chased after it together.

  Two people chased after the strange figure, coming to a forest, and in an instant, it vanished into thin air, completely disappearing without a trace.

  Xiao Yunfei looked around and found that this forest seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The trees were lush and dense, with thick foliage that wrapped around the mountains like snakes, making it look dark and terrifying. The giant trees reached the sky, their leaves layered on top of each other, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate through. Adding to the desolation, there was not a single bird or beast in sight, and the silence made it even more eerie and frightening.

  Xiao Yunfei and Dan Chenzi would not feel panicked in such an environment, because they are not ordinary people. As cultivators above the Earth Immortal level, they have experienced too many ups and downs in their lives, and it's hard for the environment to bring them any fear.

  "How is it?" asked Xiao Yunfei, catching up from behind and asking Dan Chenzi.

  Danchenzi was also somewhat uncertain at this moment, furrowing his brow and saying: "I chased him to here, but that figure suddenly disappeared into thin air, the situation is very strange."

  "Be careful."

  The two of them exchanged a glance, and cautiously stepped into the woods. Their footsteps on the ground, due to years of accumulated fallen leaves, produced a faint sound that, although tiny, stood out in this vast empty space like a needle piercing one's heart, making it impossible not to notice.

  As the two of them went deeper, about a hundred meters or so, Danchenzi suddenly waved his hand and stopped in his tracks. Xiao Yunfei felt quite surprised, but saw that Danchenzi furrowed his brow and said: "That guy is right up ahead."

  Shen Zhi let go, but Bin didn't feel anything, Xiao Yunfei couldn't help but ask in surprise: "How did you know?"

  Dan Chenzi's gaze was fixed firmly on the front, and he said, "Although it's far away, it seems like there's another strange energy stuck in between, but I still vaguely feel his existence..." As he spoke, Dan Chenzi suddenly changed his expression, revealing a hint of a strange look on his face.

  Xiao Yunfei saw this and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, is there a problem?"

  Dan Chenzi smiled bitterly and said: "I feel like he's summoning us?"

  "Hmm......" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunfei was also taken aback for a moment, but only slightly. He then smiled and said, "Let's go take a look and we'll know soon enough."

  "But I feel even more that there's a huge trap ahead." Dan Chenzi's face turned even more bitter.

  There are only two possibilities in this situation, either something fortunate has occurred or it's a super big trap. However, the possibility of the latter seems greater. Whether to move forward or backward, these two people need to discuss this issue carefully.

  But the other side seemed to not want to give them a chance, just as the two were frowning and considering, a strange black fog suddenly rose up from behind, this black fog came extremely quickly, in just an instant, it had already blocked off their retreat.

  "Not good, I've been hit!"

  The two of them exchanged a glance, and both saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes. But suddenly, Dan Chenzi's face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Be careful!" A blurry figure flashed from the front, and he immediately jumped up, transformed into a black shadow, and rushed forward.

  Xiao Yunfei didn't have time to stop him, Dan Chenzi had already chased after him from afar, a hint of sharp light flashing in his eyes, and he hastily leapt up and rushed after him...
