Chapter 680: Chapter 352: Rout and Pursuit (Extra for 200 Monthly Votes)_3

“I am Lin Qingxue, a disciple of Heixuan Hall, and I have come to this place to avoid being hunted down by Sanyuan Palace.”

The lady in white, who was none other than Lin Qingxue, said indifferently, “I originally thought that this was Green Flame Palace territory, where Sanyuan Palace wouldn’t dare to venture.

But unexpectedly, Sanyuan Palace dares to provoke even the Green Flame Palace, and moreover…”

At this point, she didn’t continue further, but Lu Yun and Yuan Yao could both discern the implied meaning in her words.

“Given the circumstances, let’s flee for our lives separately, but please do not follow us any longer, or suffer the consequences.”

Lu Yun obviously would not believe her based on just a few words.

Besides, even if what she said was the truth, how would that change things? Heixuan Hall and the Green Flame Palace had quite a strained relationship in the past.

Lin Qingxue glanced at Lu Yun with her beautiful eyes, remained silent for a brief moment, then said lightly, “I have not been following you.”

After speaking, she directly passed by Lu Yun and the others, heading deeper into the Youyuan mountain range.

“Junior Brother Lu, you truly have a heart of stone,” Chang Xiaorui teased with a smile. “This woman seems to be severely injured, yet you could bear to let her go off alone.”

Yuan Yao’s beautiful eyes also turned towards Lu Yun, and she smiled, “No wonder Junior Brother Lu advances so quickly in his cultivation, perhaps your unity of heart and devotion to the path are inseparable!”

“This person is not simple; even though she is seriously injured, she gives me an extremely strong sense of crisis.”

Lu Yun explained briefly before saying to the two women behind him, “It’s not suitable to stay here for long, we too must leave quickly.”

Seeing Lu Yun speak in such a manner, Yuan Yao and Chang Xiaorui also realized they hadn’t completely escaped danger yet, and they no longer had the interest to tease Lu Yun, hastily following in his footsteps and disappearing into the vast snowy forest.

No sooner had they left than a group of about ten Sanyuan Palace disciples caught up, with the three at the front all being of Unity Realm, and even the weakest among the others being at the eighth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.

These individuals were clearly genius disciples of the Sanyuan Palace.

“Judging by the traces here, at least four people have passed through this area. Could it be that aside from Lin Qingxue, there are other remnants from Heixuan Hall?” One of the young men, dressed in a red robe with flames and at the second level of the Unity Realm, said with an uncertain tone as he examined the residual traces at the scene.

Another said, “Regardless of their numbers, we must capture Lin Qingxue. The Elder has commanded that under no circumstances should we allow Lin Qingxue to escape.”

This individual was also of Unity Realm, but slightly less powerful than the red-robed youth, at the first level of the Unity Realm.

The red-robed youth said, “However, the Youyuan mountain range is so vast, and with the heavy snow falling now, soon all traces will be covered by the snow, making it very difficult for us to catch up with them.”

He then turned to the black-robed youth who had not yet spoken and said, “Brother Huang, you are the strongest among us, make a decision, and we will follow your lead.”

The black-robed youth nodded slightly and then said slowly, “The Youyuan mountain range leads to the Tianhan Absolute Territory, and they cannot possibly go to Tianhan Absolute Territory, nor can they stay in Youyuan mountain range forever; so there is only one place they can go to…”

“Brother Huang, I understand now, they must be heading to Qiyun Prefecture.”

“Correct, as of now, Beihan Prefecture is completely under our control, and Shanhan Dao Prefecture has almost been invaded, practically making it our territory in Sanyuan Palace. Lin Qingxue and the others definitely won’t go there, so under these circumstances, their only option is to head for Qiyun Prefecture.”

The black-robed youth said indifferently.

However, he was unaware that the current situation at Shanhan Dao Prefecture had already changed drastically.
