As soon as the voice transmission talisman lit up, Huo Zhaojing’s voice came from inside, ” &Quot; you found the Zhong gang sect disciples? ”

“Replying to eldest senior brother.” Upon hearing this, the four of them quickly replied respectfully, ” eldest senior brother is right. We found the Mei family’s convoy on the path of Mount Mei. The disciples of the Zhong gang sect will escort them, and the blood carriage will be right beside the carriage.”

Huo Zhaojing was satisfied,”very good!” I’ll need about two hours to get there. You guys continue to follow the carriage, and if there’s anything wrong with the direction, report to me at any time.”

“Keep your distance and don’t act rashly.”

The four of them agreed.

The light from the voice transmission talisman quickly went out.

At this time, they realized that the convoy had started to speed up. They immediately accelerated and followed closely behind. However, according to Huo Zhaojing’s instructions, they did not dare to get too close and always maintained a distance that they thought was relatively safe.

???

Half an hour later.

The Mei family had suffered heavy casualties in the previous attack. In addition, they had the three-headed pterolycus and the netherworld wood with them. Even though Mei keqiu personally took over the whip from the hands of her tribesmen and repeatedly whipped the ghost, the ghost still let out a series of painful roars. Its speed was limited, and it was unable to shake off the pursuers.

“Branch master, they’re still behind us!” Jin sumian said anxiously.

PEI Ling nodded slightly. It had already been an hour. They had been following behind but did not dare to attack them directly …

If his guess was correct, the disciples of the sky religion students who followed him this time should not be strong.

Most likely, their strength was similar to Dou Wan and the other two.

He didn’t dare to charge up, but he was unwilling to leave. There should be strong reinforcements chasing after him!

For example, the eldest senior brother of the spring altar that the female cultivator from the heaven born sect had mentioned, Huo Zhaojing!

At the thought of this, PEI Ling quickly said to Jin sumian, ” “You guys continue forward!”

Jin sumian was startled. Before she could react, she saw a flash of blood light. She activated the blood ghost escape technique and PEI Ling had already fled.

Yu Xue Zhao continued to follow the convoy. He was extremely dissatisfied. His dog owner had asked him to protect Jin Su Mian and the other two, but he couldn’t sleep again. Most importantly, the three of them didn’t even take the initiative to kowtow to him and thank him!

Behind them, the four people from the heaven born sect saw PEI Ling walk out of the blood carriage. After saying a few words to the female cultivator beside him, he glanced at them and his figure instantly disappeared. They immediately felt that something was wrong.

Just as they were about to retreat, they saw a dream-like bloody figure appear near them almost instantly. In the blink of an eye, PEI Ling was expressionless and did not hide his killing intent. He unsheathed his long saber and was already blocking behind them!

The four people’s faces changed at the same time. What a fast speed!

Without any hesitation, they ran in four different directions.

At this time, PEI Ling had already activated the [ spirit eye technique ]. He immediately saw that the aura of these four people was very similar to the aura of the three disciples of the heaven born sect. There was no mistake, these four were all disciples of the heaven born sect!

Whoosh!

He circulated the blood ghost evasion technique once again and caught up to one of them. The nine souls saber in PEI Ling’s hand immediately slashed down!

Pfft!

The head flew off, and before the corpse could land on the ground, PEI Ling used the cold essence fire to burn the corpse to ashes.

Immediately after, he went to chase after a second person …

In a short while, the remaining three people from the natural born sect were also killed by PEI Ling.

He didn’t guess wrong. This time, the disciples of the heaven’s born sect who caught up were slightly weaker than Dou Wan and the other two. He easily dealt with the four of them.

After keeping the four people’s storage bags, PEI Ling did not have time to clean up the scene and immediately caught up with the convoy.

When she saw PEI Ling return, Jin sumian immediately asked, ” “Branch head, what’s the situation?”

“They’re indeed the disciples of the heaven born sect, but I’ve already dealt with them. However, they definitely still have reinforcements!” PEI Ling said in a deep voice, ” we’ve been delayed for so long just now. Reinforcements will most likely catch up soon! &Quot;

Jin sumian furrowed her brows. They needed to transport the three-headed pterolycus Wolf and the netherworld wood. These two items could not be placed in the storage bag.

Moreover, their flying magic tools couldn’t contain these two items.

His current speed was already at its peak. If the people of the heavenly born sect were to catch up, it would definitely be another fierce battle.

At that time, if the shockwaves of the battle damaged the item that needed to be escorted, the mission would also be a failure!

“Branch head, what should we do now?” Jin sumian asked,

PEI Ling pondered for a moment. &Quot; there are two ways. One is to set up a formation on the spot and wait for Tian Sheng’s teachings to come over. Then, we’ll get rid of all the pursuers and get it done once and for all! &Quot;

“The second is to go back!”

There were a total of three paths that could be taken by cultivators below the core formation stage from the profound Reed market to the Mei clan.

The path they had chosen was in the middle of the three paths.

The left side was the habitat of the core formation realm ghosts, and the right side was a dangerous place filled with miasma. Only core formation realm cultivators dared to set foot in these two places.

However, when he was looking at the map earlier, PEI Ling noticed that although the three roads were separated by these two places, they were not completely impassable.

The traces of their fight in the water had been wiped away.

It was unlikely that the heaven born sect would be able to determine their location so quickly.

In that case, it would not be sending four people whose strength was not as good as Dou Wan’s group of three to go first, but a strong reinforcement would directly chase after them!

Therefore, the reason why the other party had caught up with the convoy so quickly was most likely because they had split into three groups and pursued them separately!

Their strong reinforcements also randomly chose a path to search. If they went the wrong way and their accomplices reported it, they would wait for an opportunity to change paths.

In reality, the reason why Pei Ling had chosen the Mei Mountain Trail when he set off was to make it easier for him to change his route if anything happened!

At this moment, he was recalling the map while analyzing, ” with our current position, if the natural born sect’s reinforcements have already received the news, they will be chasing us. Or we can change our path from the yin Wind Gap a hundred li ahead and block our way.”

“Or, we can go back to Kun Lu city square from our original path and chase them from behind.”

“Based on the distance we’ve covered, it’ll take at least a day to catch up to us.”

“So if there’s no extraordinary reason, the people of the heavenly born sect must be waiting for us at the yin Wind Gap!”

“In this case, it’s safer for us to go back.”

Jin sumian didn’t hesitate and nodded,”Yes. Branch head, I’ll go inform the carriage team!”

After all, she was a disciple of the jiansang branch. As the branch head, it was only right for PEI Ling to listen to the branch head’s arrangements.

At this moment, the carriage covered in mist galloped across the mountain range.

Huo Zhaojing held a glass cup in his hand and was sipping on the spirit wine in the rapidly flying wind. Suddenly, his face sank!

He could feel that the four junior brothers and sisters who had discovered the whereabouts of the Zhong gang sect disciples had already died!

“Crack.”

The glass cup was instantly crushed into powder.

Huo Zhaojing’s face was gloomy, but his heart was very calm.

He felt the true Qi in his body stir, as if it was ready to start circulating on its own at any time. Huo Zhaojing closed his eyes and forcefully suppressed the illusion that he was about to break through.
