"Li Shen you fucker, do you think you can escape?" Xiang Shi said in a furious tone.

One could see that one of his sleeves was empty as he ran after Li Shen through the forest like a mad bull.

Behind him were four youths dressed in the same yellow robes as Li Shen and Xiang Shi, indicating that they were from the same sect.

As they pursue Li Shen, evil grins could be seen plastered on their faces.

Upon hearing Xiang Shi's words, the disheveled-looking Li Shen become enraged and yelled back.

"Xiang Shi you piece of dog crap, if it wasn't for those other bastards getting in the way, instead of your arm I could've chopped off your fucking head!!"

Xiang Shi's face turned red with rage before he slapped his storage bag and took out a flying sword. Forming a seal with his only hand, the flying sword immediately shot towards Li Shen with lightning-like speed.

In only a breath's worth of time, it crossed dozens of meters to appear behind Li Shen's back.

"Explode!!"

With a loud bellow, Xiang Shi detonated the flying sword.

Li Shen was just able to turn around with a shield-type magic treasure and blocked the explosion.

However, he was sent flying backward from the force.

After rolling on the ground for a few yards he manage to get up and start running again.

Seeing that his attack fail yet again, Xiang Shi screamed in anger.

"Bastard!!"

Li Shen who was more haggard than before just sprinted forward even harder. His breath came out in ragged pants, as he was starting to feel exhausted from all the running.

Believe it or not, but ever since he entered the Pocket Realm this Xiang Shi and the other four had been chasing after him. At first, he was battling Xiang Shi one on one and had gained the upper hand, just when he was about to deliver the final blow, the four disciples popped out of nowhere and interfered, saving Xiang Shi from losing his head in the process.

He had run into the inner region hoping that it could deter them from following him, but even so the group continue to pursue him.

During the chase, in order to attack and slow him down, Xiang Shi had been sending out low-grade flying swords to explode at him.

How they didn't manage to piss off a couple of peak-tier rank 3 demonic beasts, Li Shen didn't know, he was able to mask his presence with the help of his Mirror Aura, while they were wide in the open.

When the flying swords detonated he had his mid-grade magic treasure to block the explosions with no problem. He thought that Xiang Shi will eventually run out of flying swords, but he was wrong.

The number of low-grade flying swords Xiang Shi exploded had probably surpassed a hundred by now.

'Why the hell does he have so many magic treasures?! He must have gotten them from that bastard Xiao Fang. I can't believe the Elders would allow him to run so rampantly in the sect, they even overlooked the fact that he's stealing from the sect's treasury. So what if he's the son of the Sect Leader?'

Li Shen looked down at his shield that was filled with cracks. His heart was practically bleeding from the sight.

For him to have coughed up the Spirit Stones to purchase this mid-grade magic treasure had cost him an arm and a leg, now it was practically reduced to a useless piece of junk metal.

All the force from the flying swords explosions had caused its durability to be worn away.

Li Shen had to still keep it though because despite its durability becoming nonexistent, it was still a mid-grade treasure. The materials used to make it was strong enough to prevent him from receiving serious injuries from Xiang Shi's flying swords.

Li Shen suddenly heard a familiar swooshing sound, that caused him to quickly turn around with the shield hosted up in front of him.

A loud explosion occurred as another one of Xiang Shi's flying swords detonated.

Li Shen was sent tumbling back, but without breaking his momentum he got back up and just continue to run.

The cracks in his shield were starting to spread to cover it fully, even a corner of it had been chipped off from that explosion.

Li Shen started to curse in his heart, if his shield gave out now he would have no way to block the explosions coming from Xiang Shi's flying sword. When that time comes, he'll be subjected to the explosions directly, giving Xiang Shi's group a chance to catch up to him.

If it was only Xiang Shi he could have taken him on, but since the other four disciples were there, the only outcome was that he would be surrounded and killed.

Li Shen gritted his teeth in frustration, and thought to himself, 'Xiao Fang, if I ever survive this ordeal you put me in, I swear I'll kill you along with those shameless old farts that condone your immoral behaviors.'

With the Cultivation Method from the manual in his consciousness, he knew he had the potential to become a powerful expert in the future, so powerful that even the Sect Leader who was a Sage realm expert, and also Xiao Fang's father, couldn't win against him.

As Li Shen thought that, he heard another swoosh behind him before he turned around and block another exploding flying sword.

This time, however, a portion of the shield had been blown off, resulting in some of the attack making contact with his chest. Li Shen was knocked backward, with blood spraying from his mouth.

Even though the explosion was only from a low-grade magic treasure, it still had the power to seriously injure early Core Formation cultivators like him.

Li Shen landed on his back a few yards away, this time he was a bit slow to get up.

'Dammit! If it wasn't for those four I could've killed that bastard Xiang Shi. If I'm going to die, I'll definitely carry him to the yellow springs with me.'

Li Shen slowly got up and looked at the group coming towards him.

All of them had on wicked smiles as they got closer and closer.

Li Shen was tired of running, he decided to just go all out to kill that bastard Xiang Shi. Whatever happens afterward happens, he couldn't care less if he died anymore, as long as Xiang Shi was dead.

Though he was slightly regretful he couldn't get his revenge on Xiao Fang, if he just had more time, with the manual's Mirror Aura he could have been strong enough to defeat anyone. Now, he will likely be buried in this Lesser Pocket Realm.

As the group approach closer, Li Shen was about to explode into a frenzy and attack Xiang Shi to take him along as company in his death, however, before he could, a massive wind storm suddenly swept through the surrounding forest.

Everyone looked up towards the sky and saw through the trees, a gigantic bird-type demonic beast swooping down towards them.

Terrified expressions appeared on Xiang Shi's group faces as they look up at the bird.

"It..it's a peak tier Rank 3 demonic beast, run!!"

Screamed one of the youth from behind Xiang Shi.

Xiang Shi looked up at the demonic beast and gritted his teeth before yelling, "What are you doing?! The young patriarch ordered us to kill this bastard, are you going to disobey his orders?!"

The youth that had already took off running, yell back, "Xiang Shi you loyal dog!! Do you really expect me to throw my life away upon the orders of that loathsome Xiao Fang?!"

"You ungrateful wretch! Is that how you speak about the young patriarch after everything he's given you?!"

Xiang Shi shouted at the youth but he didn't respond, he just kept on running off in the distance.

The other three youth's also started to run away despite Xiang Shi's yelling.

Li Shen only looked on with a vicious grin on his face.

Now the reason was obvious why he wanted to kill Xiang Shi so badly before he died. Out of all the deplorable dogs' Xiao Fang had under his command, no one was more deplorable than this bastard Xiang Shi.

Even with the threat of a peak-tier rank 3 demonic beast, he still wanted to carry out Xiao Fang's orders to suck up to him.

Seeing him all alone now, Li Shen began to laugh hysterically.

As the wind from the rank 3 demonic beast descent increased in the forest, Li Shen wonder what would happen first. Whether he would be able to kill this fucker Xiang Shi and then be killed by this rank 3 demonic beast, or instead this rank 3 demonic beast would kill them both.

Any which way works for him as long as Xiang Shi was dead.

Li Shen was about to attack the lone Xiang Shi but was yet again stopped.

This time, it was due to the figure of a person falling from the rank 3 demonic beast's back.

Li Shen watched in surprise, as that person fell through the air before gently touching down on the ground as light as a feather. He was even more gobsmacked by the person's identity.

That person in question was a white-robed Longmin.

Li Shen could only stare with an open mouth, as Longmin greeted him with that familiar smile.

"Long time no see, senior brother," Longmin said while looking up at Li Shen, who was almost two heads taller than him.

    Upon hearing Longmin's greeting, Li Shen suddenly snapped out of his dazed state and immediately started to sweat uncontrollably.'Wh..what is this demon doing here?! How the hell did he find me?!'Li Shen started to retreat slowly, Longmin was the last person he wanted to see, he actually prefer to face that rank 3 demonic beast rather than him.Ever since his first interaction with Longmin, Li Shen felt a sense of vulnerability towards him. Right now as he faced him, he felt as he could hide nothing from his prying eyes, it's as if every one of his secrets were being forced out into the open for Longmin to see.Longmin saw Li Shen's facial expression, and he couldn't help but chuckle."Senior brother Shen, you have nothing to worry about, I don't have the hobby of taking things from someone by force."Longmin knew what Li Shen was worried about, but he really shouldn't be. Longmin was not the type of person to use his status to forcefully

    Looking at the motionless Xian Shi, Li Shen couldn't help but take in a cold breath of air. Xiang Shi was in the early Core Formation realm just like him. Even though he might have been slightly stronger if he had used his Mirror Aura, it wouldn't have been by much since his comprehension of it was little. If Longmin had made a move against him, his faith would have likely been the same as Xiang Shi. Though the only reason why Xiang Shi was so easily beaten without even putting up any resistance, was because his mind was in chaos. Li Shen saw the flashing black rune on Xiang Shi's forehead, as well as his chest which was still moving from his breathing. He then turn to Longmin who was already looking at him and asked, "What did you do to him?" Longmin only smiled and said, "He's currently stuck in an endless illusion of dying repeatedly." After Longmin said that, he turned around and leaped into the air, his feet suddenly making contact with a

    As the Sparrow move at high speeds through the air, everyone's gaze shifted from Li Shen, except for one person. Longwei was still looking at him curiously, while Li Shen himself was trying to ignore his gaze. After a while of staring, Longwei turned to Longmin and ask, "Little brother, who is this? And why are you bringing him with us?" Hearing his brother's question, Longmin immediately answered, "He's our new servant, and he'll be returning back to the clan with us." Li Shen who was calmly sitting next to Longmin, nearly choked on air as he heard that. He turned to Longmin ready to refuse, because who would want to become someone's servant? But before he could, Longmin turn to him with a smile and said, "Senior brother Shen, if I hadn't rescued you back there, you would have died at your fellow disciple's hands. So that means you owe me senior brother Shen. If you wa

One disciple said while shaking his head.Another disciple commented, "Her talent isn't less than Shen Long, and the fact that she was able to gain a treasure nearly at the same time as him should be enough evidence, but.." That disciple also shook his head before he continued in a sad tone, "...I did not expect her to get a defective treasure, what bad luck!"As the hundred or so disciples outside of the marker, b

Everyone watched as Ling Shui slowly opened his eyes and stood up. At a calm and leisurely pace, he walked out of the Ancient Treasure Palace’s barrier not even sparing a glance at anyone. The crowd of disciple’s part like the red sea as Ling Shui walked by them. Shen Long and Chenguang were some distance away looking at him, their eyes were flashing as several thoughts ran through their heads. All of a sudden, Shen Long dashed forward, even with the halberd on his shoulders he was like lightning in the night sky, abrupt and fast, extremely fast. In less than a second, he left a deep footprint where he was standing, before appearing in front of Ling Shui. None of the discip

In a matter of seconds, a five-meter large ice giant wearing armor appeared. On the giant's armor was an extremely detailed carving of a dragon that was roaring to the heavens. The helmet covered the ice giant's entire face, only leaving two slits for its glowing blue eyes to be seen. Casually held within its hand, was a massive broadsword that was easily the length of two adults, and its width was around two meters. With a loud bang, the giant let the broadsword fall to the ground. Immediately the terrifying weight of the sword was revealed as it cracked the ice-covered ground for several meters while kicking up a small cloud of debris. All and

Feeling the power it was giving off made them gulp at the thought of what would have happened if they had been caught up in it. They were several meters away from the edge of the Daoist magic spell but they could still feel a frigid aura wafting from it that made them shiver. “What type of Daoist magic is this?” A disciple asked with a pale face. Another disciple who was close by responded, “From the words young master Ling Shui spoke, this must be the spell he received from the Ancient Treasure Palace.” As soon as that disciple said those words, another disciple quip in a perplexed tone. “But didn’t young master just receive the spell? How can he use it with such profici

Isn’t he supposed to have a courtyard for himself somewhere else?”The servant still had to listen carefully to understand Long Wei’s slurred words, but he managed to and his face was covered in hesitation, before he slowly said, “Um.. honored guest, it was the second prince’s choice to have this arrangement.”With the frown still on his face, Long Wei asked again, “Why?”Hearing his question, the servant became even more hesitant and a little nervous as well. As a servant, he didn’t want to speak about the matters involving the second prince, but he didn’t want to offend this guest by not answering either.Just as the servant was wonderi

After sitting Li Fang poured himself a cup of tea while saying, “You guys weren’t the only ones that were improving over the past few years. And as for my concealment ability, well, Sying Mu and Yuyan is not the only one who had tapped into their Legendary Physique.”Soon after Li Fang finished saying that, Long Wei scowled at him and said, “How long were you listening to us?
