The flying demon struggled to climb out of the sand dune, looking around but unable to see any immortal cultivator.
"Hey! You big oaf? Can't you see right? I'm right here!" Chu Wanwan shouted, then urged Feng Que directly westward. Although she didn't know where the wall was, she knew it was to the west, so flying westward was always the right thing to do.
Upon seeing Chu Wanwan's figure, the flying demon roared and gave chase. It was incredibly fast, but Feng Que was no slouch either, and for a moment, the two engaged in a chase in the air.
Feng Que's level was significantly lower than that of the flying demons, so its speed was slightly inferior. However, Chu Wanwan was wealthy and powerful, and she occasionally threw out some talismans and magic treasures, which were able to hold off the flying demons. Therefore, the two sides were still at roughly the same speed.
The chase went on for an unknown amount of time, until Chu Wanwan had used up all her talismans and magical artifacts, but she still hadn't seen the city walls. Chu Wanwan inwardly cursed her bad luck; her talismans and magical artifacts were exhausted, and the flying demons were still relentlessly pursuing her.
It seems she has no choice but to retreat into her spatial dimension. As for the flying demon that might fly to the Immortal Realm's barrier and cause trouble, she is powerless to stop it.
At this moment, the flying demon had caught up with Chu Wanwan. It opened its massive maw and spewed a cloud of poisonous mist towards her. Chu Wanwan's heart tightened, and she spurred Feng Que to narrowly dodge the attack. However, a few drops of the poisonous mist still landed on her skin.
"Ah! It hurts!" Chu Wanwan cried out in pain, her face contorting into a grimace. The poisonous mist, like sulfuric acid, corroded Chu Wanwan's skin, instantly leaving several charred patches on her arm. Enduring the pain, Chu Wanwan continued to direct Feng Que westward.
She desperately wanted to escape into her spatial dimension and end it all, but this place was too close to the camp. If this guy couldn't catch her, he would definitely go berserk, and if he attacked the camp, it would be disastrous.
So Chu Wanwan gritted her teeth and tried to lure the flying demons further away.
Seeing that the poisonous mist had failed to bring Chu Wanwan down, the flying demon roared again and accelerated its pursuit. The distance between them was constantly closing, and Chu Wanwan could even clearly see the flying demon's ferocious face and sharp claws.
Just as Chu Wanwan was at her wit's end and preparing to hide in her spatial dimension, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from afar. Immediately afterward, a dark light flashed, striking the flying demon directly. The flying demon screamed and plummeted from the sky.
Chu Wanwan looked over in surprise and discovered that the dark light was actually a black longsword. The owner of the longsword was dressed in black robes and had a cold and stern face; it was none other than Si Mingye.
"Si Mingye?" Chu Wanwan exclaimed in surprise, she didn't expect to meet him here.
Si Mingye did not respond to her. Instead, he coldly watched the falling flying demon and, after making sure it could no longer pose a threat, turned to look at Chu Wanwan.
"Are you alright?" His voice was cold, yet it revealed a hint of concern.
Chu Wanwan shook her head. "I'm fine. Luckily you arrived in time, otherwise this sixth-tier demon would have been a huge threat!"
"Silly girl! From now on, if you can't beat someone, just hide in the space. Don't worry about too much. You're only five years old. Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Si Mingye frowned slightly as he looked at her wounds corroded by the poisonous mist.
Chu Wanwan looked at Si Mingye, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She knew that although Si Mingye always had a cold face and seemed unapproachable to others, he was very kind to her!
"I understand, I'll be careful from now on." Chu Wanwan nodded obediently, then asked, "How did you end up here?"
"Knowing you were due to come to the outer realm, I came looking for you! On my way here, I happened to encounter a Azure Dragon leading members of the Immortal Sect fleeing to the outer realm battlefield. I helped them out! I learned of your whereabouts from them and then rushed here!"
Si Mingye looked at Chu Wanwan and explained. Although his tone was still indifferent, his concern was self-evident.
Chu Wanwan was even more moved after hearing this. She knew that Si Mingye must have been worried about her safety, which was why he had specially come to the outer realm to find her. This kindness warmed her heart immensely.
"Thank you, Si Mingye," Chu Wanwan said sincerely. "You always take such good care of me; I don't know how to repay you."
Si Mingye looked at her, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, "You don't need to repay me. As long as you're alright, I'll be at ease."
The two exchanged a smile, their gratitude and affection unspoken.
"By the way, have you seen another group of immortal cultivators? Some of them are warriors from the outer battlefields, and some are cultivators who came from the Third Heaven for training. They are followed by a demon like this!"
Chu Wanwan pointed at the demon that had fallen to the ground and was now lifeless.
Si Mingye was so powerful that she was jealous. It would be difficult for her to survive under this demon's attack, but Si Mingye only used one move, and the demon was dead.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy...
“I haven’t encountered it!” Si Mingye shook his head and said.
"I wonder how those people are doing! Brother Mingye, do you want to come back to the camp with me, or go to the outer battlefield?"
Although it wouldn't be a pity if Chu Chenxi and the others died, there were still many soldiers guarding the outer realms in that team, and she sincerely didn't want anything to happen to them.
“I am a rogue cultivator in the Sixth Heaven. My main purpose in coming here is to find you, so there is no need to go to the outer battlefield. I will follow you and protect your safety during your time outside the outer realm.”
Si Mingye said calmly.
“Since you’ve decided to come with me, let’s go back to the camp first. Maybe we’ll find some news about other cultivators there,” Chu Wanwan suggested.
Si Mingye nodded without objection. "Okay, let's go."
The two quickly returned to the camp, where they could see a giant flying monster locked in fierce combat with a figure in the sky. The camp below was in complete disarray.
Everywhere there were immortal cultivators whose bodies were corroded by venom, a horrific sight.
Chu Wanwan's heart sank. She recognized the figure battling the flying demon as General Liu.
General Liu was suspended in mid-air, his armor already mottled from the venom, but he still fought tenaciously against the demons, guarding the last line of defense for the camp.
