“We need to go down the mountain to take refuge,” Sun Muqing said.
Jiang Lingxuan said, "It's too late for us to go to the back mountain to take refuge now. After all, going to the back mountain would mean crossing the battlefield, which is too risky. So we might as well leave the mountain gate and find a safe place at the foot of the mountain."
Upon hearing Jiang Lingxuan's explanation, Bai Muxue suddenly understood.
“That’s definitely a good idea,” Bai Muxue nodded in agreement.
Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan didn't say anything more and went down the mountain with Bai Muxue.
Just then, another earth-shattering explosion rang out in the sky.
Sun Muqing, Jiang Lingxuan, and Bai Muxue turned around and saw what looked like a bright green sun in the sky!
The sunlight actually suppressed the blood-red light that filled the sky from the Blood Spirit Child!
"That is..."
Bai Muxue sensed a familiar aura from that emerald green sun.
The next moment, the voice of Xiong Wanling, the Grand Elder of the Divine Wood Sect, resounded throughout the entire sky: "Elder Lin is dead! Elder Lin burned his source energy to withstand Xue Lingzi's attack, and Elder Lin died and his Dao vanished!"
Bai Muxue staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Elder Lin is dead? How is that possible? Why would Elder Lin burn his source energy? Even if he wanted to contribute his power to the Divine Wood Sect, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths!" Bai Muxue murmured to herself.
Sun Muqing said, "Never mind that, run!"
“Yes, yes, let’s leave here first!” Jiang Lingxuan also said.
Bai Muxue said angrily, "What's wrong with you two! Your master is dead, and you're not even a little sad? Are you even human? I misjudged you!"
Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed.
"Why are you even more excited than us?"
"Now is not the time to talk. Let's go down the mountain first, and we'll explain it to you slowly once we're down there."
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing spoke one after the other.
Suppressing her anger, Bai Muxue fled down the mountain with Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing.
At this moment, chaos reigned throughout Mount Qingmu. The sect leader of the Divine Wood Sect, Qingmu Zhenren, and the Grand Elder Xiong Wanling, among others, were completely unaware that Sun Muqing, Bai Muxue, and Jiang Lingxuan were running further and further away, heading down the mountain.
"I never expected Elder Lin to burn his own essence. Although his sacrifice blocked Blood Spirit Child's attack and severely injured him, creating an excellent opportunity for us, Elder Lin really didn't need to sacrifice himself so rashly!" Master Qingmu said with great sorrow.
Elder Xiong Wanling said, "Sect Master, now is not the time for sentimentality! Elder Lin sacrificed himself by burning his own essence to create this opportunity for us. If we don't seize this opportunity to kill Xue Lingzi, then we will truly be letting Elder Lin down!"
"Yes, Sect Master, we must seize this opportunity!"
"Killing Blood Spirit Child is to avenge Elder Lin!"
The elders of the Shenmu Sect all shouted, filled with righteous indignation, and the sect leaders and elders of other sects were also infected by this passionate emotion.
"Elder Lin was actually willing to sacrifice himself; this is truly the act of a hero!"
"Elder Lin is our role model!"
"Blood Spirit Child will surely die here today, and we must avenge Elder Lin!"
The sect leaders and elders of all the major sects present shouted, and they all began to use their full strength without holding back!
Ling Tianxing and Sun Shaoling exchanged a glance, both of them showing a look of dejection.
"I never expected Elder Lin to die by burning his own life essence," Sun Shaoling said.
"It's a pity the alchemy competition was abruptly terminated; we haven't had a chance to compete with Elder Lin yet," Ling Tianxing sighed.
“I admit that my alchemy skills are inferior to Elder Lin’s, and I humbly admit defeat,” Sun Shaoling said.
Ling Tianxing also said, "Me too!"
All the elders and protectors of the Shenmu Sect, together with the sect leaders and elders of various other sects, united as one to once again besiege Xue Lingzi.
The aura of the Blood Spirit began to decline, and the blood-red light that filled the sky began to subside.
This means that Blood Spirit is about to give up!
While the ninth level of the Saint Realm is powerful, it is not invincible.
If the sect leader of the Divine Wood Sect, Master Qingmu, along with so many Transcendent Realm and Divine Travel Realm warriors, couldn't defeat him, they would truly become a laughingstock!
At the foot of Mount Aoki.
Sun Muqing, Jiang Lingxuan, and Bai Muxue have all arrived here, far away from that battlefield.
However, the sounds coming from above Mount Aoki were still clearly audible and visible.
Bai Muxue looked at Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan and asked, "Now can you tell me the reason?"
Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan looked at each other, unsure whether they should tell Bai Muxue the truth.
Just then, the air in front of the three women rippled, and Ye Feng stepped out from it.
Ye Feng's current appearance is no longer that of Lin Bifeng, the third elder of the Shenmu Sect, but his original appearance.
Upon seeing Ye Feng appear, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan both smiled, while Bai Muxue stared in shock!
"Mr. Ye... no, Elder Lin?"
Bai Muxue looked at Ye Feng in surprise.
Elder Lin already burned his life essence and perished on the spot in the battle with Blood Spirit Child, so how come he is here now?
What on earth is going on?!
Bai Muxue finally understood why Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan weren't sad at all.
Because Elder Lin didn't die at all!
"How come she's here?" Ye Feng asked, glancing at Bai Muxue.
"That's a long story," Sun Muqing said.
Jiang Lingxuan gave a concise explanation, and Ye Feng smiled and nodded, saying to Bai Muxue, "Thank you for taking care of Muqing and Lingxuan for me."
"No, no, no, I wasn't really that helpful," Bai Muxue quickly shook her head and said.
Then Bai Muxue looked at Ye Feng curiously and asked, "Elder Lin, weren't you already..."
"I'm already dead, aren't I?" Night Wind asked with a smile.
Bai Muxue nodded shyly.
Night Wind continued, "I merely faked my death to escape."
"Fake death to escape? Why did you..."
"Because I was never the real Lin Bifeng, the Third Elder of the Shenmu Sect. Lin Bifeng is long dead, and I killed him with my own hands. I was just impersonating him to enter the Shenmu Sect and get what I wanted."
"I've already achieved my goal, so I originally planned to leave the Divine Wood Sect with Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan. Just then, Xue Lingzi launched a major attack, so I faked my death to escape. Do you understand now?"
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, Bai Muxue was so shocked that her mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg!
