In the middle of the snowy ground, two humanoid forms stand out with their appearance. One of them was a colossal grasshopper with giant sickles on it. The other one was a huge humanoid pig. Its sharp pair of tusks protruded out of its mouth as its eyes were bloodshot.
They were demonic beasts that governed the mountain range and became the strongest predator in their own respective territory. However, the two of them were gazing towards a sole human who was hovering in the air with no care of their presence.
That human wore a bamboo hat and a bamboo staff on his hand. Pure white robe donned on him with long sleeves that had the design of fluttering leaves. A stalk of grass could be seen on his mouth and his eyes were sharp.
'I guess it was too optimistic to think they wouldn't find us that fast.'Watching everything that had unfolded from far distance and hid himself with a spell, Rein frowned as he felt the flow of magic power within. It was weak and too little. Making him unable to be of help for Leng Zhian.'A chance, huh.'Before Leng Zhian simply rushed in and helped the two demonic beasts, he told Rein about how it would be a good chance to deal with Da Gulong if with two helpers. They couldn't detect any nearby immortals beside Da Gulong as well, causing Rein to be more convinced with the reckless idea. "Tsk."Clicking his tongue, Da Gulong tried to create a distance as he saw that the situation was a little unfavorable for him. With a single thought, he called his other Celestial Weapon and made it dealt with the demonic grasshopper.Soon, the blue crystal sword hummed out loud as it flew in the air. Its instinct screamed at him with chills crawling under its exoskeleton, the demonic grasshopper turned its head to the incoming sword. The same sword that killed a demonic beast on its rank.It immediately stopped to pursue Da Gulong and crossed its arms. When the tip of the Celestial Weapon and its sickle-like arms met, a powerful shock The Saga of the Unbroken 469. The Death of The Swordmaster of Qilan
"You really are reckless."When Leng Zhian trod back to where Rein was eating for him, the latter immediately expressed his dissatisfaction at how Leng Zhian just jumped in out of nowhere. After all, surviving alone in the higher realm with no strong companion and he was at his weakest state was a hurdle of its own even without being chased by immortals."All's well at the end." remarked Leng Zhian while he clutched onto a large gash on his waist. The Lingqi in him slowly healed the wound while another healing racial ability helped as well. Yet, the remnants of Da Gulong's energy still wreaked havoc on it and made it harder for his flesh to regenerate. It was an unwritten rule that when an immortal joined a faction, they would give a flicker of their divine lamp into an item called the Soul Lantern. The soul lantern was an item that could only be lit up with a divine flame.As long as this divine flame kept burning inside the Soul Lantern, it would indicate that cultivator was still alive. When it was fluttering chaotically or became weaker, then it means the cultivator was in life threatening trouble.Thus, a building with the purpose to store those Soul Lanterns was created. The servants there would have the task to clean and maintain the Soul Lantern as it could affect the lifespans of the cultivator if it wasn't handled carefully. But their main reason was to look out foThe Saga of the Unbroken 471. Soul Lantern
As the bird chirped amidst the dense forest and brought a calming orchestra of nature, a bloody scene was conducted right under one of the endless trees. With a knife in his hand, a young man skinned and chopped off the limbs of a deer while lying down on the ground motionlessly. Its heartbeat had stopped a moment ago as an arrow could be seen on its chest.Nevertheless, he was always on his guard on this calm morning and the slightest breeze on the swaying branches wouldn't escape his observant gaze. The minute the bushes nearby would rustle for a little, he would throw out a knife in speed much faster than naked eyes.

"We got company."The second Leng Zhian uttered that sentence, a long spear flew in the air and aimed at him. The wind parted ways in the spear path as buzzing noise coming out from the blade. Shrieking loudly as if it was seeking blood.Though the strength behind the spear wasn't something trivial, Leng Zhian easily fend it off and swatted it away. The energy infused one the spear also couldn't leave the slightest dent on Leng Zhian's blade. Giving a huge surprise to the person who tried to ambush them."A trifling Earth Foundation realm cultivator?" "We are being pursued."With a calm tone, Leng Zhian gazed at their backs. There was no sense of urgency contained in his words. As if he was talking about the weather."Is it the little girl from before?"Still trying to connect his magic circuits with Hong Ming's essence as they move, Rein asked in curiosity. Magic circles appeared right beside his ankles, boosting his speed to keep up with Leng Zhian's."It seems so. And there are a lot of them. None of them are in the Immortal Establishment realm." As time passed, more and more body parts littered on the ground and blood dyed the earth in blackish red. Yet, the expression on the kids didn't waver even for a second. Their eyes resolute and their weapons pointed to their enemy.Leng Zhian himself noticed how his little opponents focused on avoiding him with all they had. Although their speed couldn't catch up to his, their sheer numbers would take some time to get rid of. Not to mention, they were skilled enough to survive or block his wide range technique.'Well, my technique was a common one in the lower realm. Against these kinds of mobs with high calibre, it wouldn't be easy.'~"They are buying time to get their master to notice us."~Rein's voicThe Saga of the Unbroken 474. Unstoppable
