However, despite this, the group still disguised themselves before leaving the city, since their combined fighting strength was probably not enough to defeat the old Spirit King alone.
After leaving the imperial city of the Luo Qing Dynasty and walking for ten miles without seeing anyone chasing after them, Dongfang Mian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Watch out, someone's coming," Yan Lin suddenly said, looking into the distance.
A powerful pressure swept over them, and Dongfang Mian and the others immediately coughed up blood.
This is it!
The oppressive aura of a Spirit Emperor!
Dongfang Mian thought that at most it would be that old man from the Spirit King chasing after her and her group. Even if they couldn't beat him, they could use the wood attribute skill "Entanglement" to trap him for a while and escape should not be a problem.
Unexpectedly, the Baili family thought so highly of them that they actually sent a Spirit Emperor-level expert to hunt them down. This was a family head-level expert.
Accompanied by the oppressive aura, several figures appeared before them: Baili Xuan, Baili Tian, the Spirit King elder, and an unfamiliar middle-aged man. The Spirit Emperor's oppressive aura emanated from this man.
“Father, it’s them,” Baili Tian said, pointing to Dongfang Mian.
"I never expected that the dignified head of the Baili family would personally take action against us little brats," Dongfang Mian sneered.
"Little guy? Heh, you can casually take out several hundred million spirit stones, so you must have a high status in the Dongfang family. If you get away, it won't be of any benefit to our Baili family," said the Baili family head.
"Father, stop wasting time talking to them and just kill them all," Baili Xuan and Baili Tian urged.
The head of the Baili family looked at Dongfang Mian with curiosity. If he could push his two children to this point and leave them alone, they would surely become a great scourge in the future.
Although this place was far from the imperial city and desolate, in order to avoid being seen by passersby, the head of the Baili family still decided to take action directly.
With a casual strike, Dongfang Mian instantly felt suffocated, unable to mobilize her spiritual energy. Once again, she felt death so close to her.
"Take out the token I gave you," Yan Lin said beside him.
"What?" Dongfang Mian was puzzled. What use was that token at this time? Could it possibly block the Spirit Emperor's attack?
"Hurry up!" Yan Lin urged.
Dongfang Mian didn't have time to think much and quickly took out the token and stuffed it into Yan Lin's hand.
In the blink of an eye, the enormous hand that the Baili family head had unleashed was about to cover the heads of the group when Yan Lin instantly summoned his token and muttered something under his breath.
boom!
A loud bang rang out, and Dongfang Mian was instantly blinded. The sudden appearance of a huge light blinded her eyes, and then she could no longer hear anything. Everything went black, and she was plunged into endless darkness.
Waking up in the darkness again, Dongfang Mian opened her eyes wide and found that she could vaguely see the scenery around her.
"You're finally awake," came Aju's voice in my ear.
"Where are we? When will my eyes recover?" Dongfang Mian asked.
"Recover, recover what?" Aju asked, puzzled, then suddenly realized, "Oh, you've probably been unconscious for too long, and your eyes are covered in eye discharge. There's water over there, go wash your face and it should be fine."
Dongfang Mian was utterly speechless.
He groped his way over and washed his face. As his mind cleared, his vision also became clear.
No longer dwelling on the eye boogers, Dongfang Mian looked around. It seemed they were in a cave. "Where's Yan Lin?"
