After the sudden explosive burst, Chen Shanshan’s breath also weakened, and she and the injured Junior Brother Yan fled with all their might towards the distance without looking back!
Not long after, when they crossed a certain hill, a sword light shot from the front and landed in front of the two.
"Senior Sister Chen, Junior Brother Yan," Mu Kexian looked at the embattled Chen Shanshan and Junior Brother Yan and asked, "Did you send out the rescue talisman, what happened?"
Chen Shanshan said in a deep voice, "We encountered Zuo Quanqing of the Demon Sky Palace, Junior Sister Yao is dead! Junior Sister Mu, where are the others, are there any senior brothers or sisters nearby?"
"Zuo Quanqing of the Demon Sky Palace?" Mu Kexian’s eyes narrowed, then shook her head, "The senior brothers have all gone deeper into this Pocket World, and I only came because I sensed something."
Mu Kexian had also ventured deep into this Pocket World but felt a premonition that something would happen, prompting her to head back.
The perception ability of the Supreme Forget Emotion Technique is second only to the Supreme Sensing True Technique cultivated by Feng Xuanqing.
Usually, Mu Kexian occasionally has such premonitions, but this time it’s quite strong...
Mu Kexian asked, "Has Zuo Quanqing caught up?"
Chen Shanshan quickly replied, "Not yet for now, he seems more interested in the several Star Beasts over there, but he might chase after us later, let’s leave quickly!"
Mu Kexian nodded in agreement, since he is a core disciple of the Demon Sky Palace, it’s naturally not something they should handle.
It’s said that this Zuo Quanqing is eccentric, ruthless, and hates people from the righteous path factions; if we don’t leave early, we might really be caught.
The three were about to leap towards the sky edge.
But at this moment, Mu Kexian suddenly sensed something, a flash in her eye.
"Senior Sister, Junior Brother, you go first. I’ll stay and cover. If Zuo Quanqing catches up, I’ll be able to block him a bit."
Chen Shanshan was startled, "Junior Sister? What if..."
Mu Kexian said, "Senior Sister, don’t worry, I have the One Qi to Three Pure Ones and Man and Sword as One techniques; if I solely want to escape, there’s no danger."
"This..."
"Go ahead."
Chen Shanshan took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Alright, then I’ll leave it to you, Junior Sister Mu!"
Chen Shanshan knew that although this Junior Sister Mu just advanced to Full Moon Level not long ago, she was once among the Tai Shang Five Disciples, with extraordinary talent, and her strength probably rivaled her own!
Chen Shanshan cupped her hands again, then led Junior Brother Yan away.
Watching the two leave, Mu Kexian’s figure flickered, moving up and down, and soon arrived under a low mountain.
"Come out." Mu Kexian coldly said.
The scene fell silent for a moment, then a red light flashed, and the Demon Soul walked out from behind a nearby large tree.
The Demon Soul looked at Mu Kexian, praising, "I just released a faint aura, and you sensed it immediately; Fellow Daoist Mu’s perception is truly keen..."
"What are you doing here?" Mu Kexian looked at the Demon Soul, voice cold, "Are you here to chase and kill my Senior Sister and Brother on behalf of Zuo Quanqing?"
"No, no..." The Demon Soul smiled, "I’m not here to chase them, nor at Zuo Quanqing’s order..."
"Then what?"
The Demon Soul restrained his expression, looking at Mu Kexian and solemnly said, "I want to find you to jointly kill Zuo Quanqing!"
"Find me to kill Zuo Quanqing?" Mu Kexian’s gaze fell on the Demon Soul, with cold light flashing, "Are you joking?"
Not to mention Zuo Quanqing’s terrifying strength, you - a disciple of the Demon Sky Palace - suddenly came looking for me, a Tai Shang Sect disciple, to kill a core member of the Demon Sky Palace...
Does that make sense?
Anyone would be suspicious, right?
If it were any other member of the Demon Sky Palace, Mu Kexian would probably not bother talking and take action directly!
At this moment, the Demon Soul turned and looked somewhere, suddenly saying, "He’s here too."
"Hmm?" Mu Kexian’s heart skipped, couldn’t resist asking, "Are you sure?!"
The Demon Soul nodded, "His Guardian Beast was just captured by Zuo Quanqing for refining treasures, that’s why I want to kill Zuo Quanqing."
"Guardian Beast...?" Mu Kexian, hearing this, held her Jade Jaw with her right hand and thought deeply.
The Demon Soul watched Mu Kexian pondering, unsure whether she would agree.
But even if Mu Kexian didn’t agree, as long as he created an opportunity to severely injure Zuo Quanqing, the other - as a Tai Shang Sect disciple - would most likely not miss this chance to eliminate a core member of the Demon Sky Palace...
As the Demon Soul was thinking, Mu Kexian suddenly walked ahead.
"Hmm? What are you doing?" The Demon Soul asked, puzzled.
Mu Kexian did not stop, a white light flashed from her right hand, pulling out the Jiyue Sword.
"To kill Zuo Quanqing."
Her figure flickered, and Mu Kexian leapt into the air.
The Demon Soul watched Mu Kexian’s back, slightly in a daze.
"...Do you know the direction?"
The Demon Soul grinned, immediately leaping to catch up to Mu Kexian, heading back together...
On the other side, Zuo Quanqing punched the Flame Demon Dragon.
