Chapter 88: Leaving the City

Chapter 88: Leaving the City

Under Yu Ding's carelessness, a piece of his scalp was bitten off, and he suddenly became enraged. However, he was entangled by the gray-robed cultivator and couldn't use his spiritual treasures or techniques.

In desperation, he let out a loud roar, and his palms turned golden as he delivered a double-fisted blow to the gray-robed cultivator's ears.

Boom!

A dull thud sounded.

The gray-robed cultivator's head was like a smashed watermelon, with juice splattering everywhere.

Yu Ding flung the gray-robed cultivator's limp body aside and was about to block the fleeing cultivators, but he didn't expect a red shadow to flash out from the gray-robed cultivator's headless corpse and pounce onto him.

A strange, eerie aura suddenly rose from his body.

"Get away!"

Yu Ding let out a loud shout, and a golden light burst forth from his body, weakening the eerie aura.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

Then, his clothes fluttered, and his body began to tremble, as if he was using some kind of secret technique.

Next, he slapped his hand onto his own body, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

As the blood spurted out, the red shadow was also forced out, fleeing into the distance.

Yu Ding, still in shock, took a pill and then slapped his storage bag to take out an Exorcism Talisman.

However, when he looked at the red shadow, he discovered that it had flashed into the body of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

This cultivator suddenly went berserk, biting anyone in sight.

Yu Ding swiftly appeared in front of the frenzied cultivator, punching out a golden light that exploded the cultivator's body into countless fragments.

Then, the red shadow flashed out from the cultivator's body.

"Die!"

Yu Ding gritted his teeth and struck out with the Exorcism Talisman, which transformed into a ball of light that enveloped the red shadow.

However, what made his face fall was that the Exorcism Talisman, which was usually effective against evil spirits, failed to kill the red shadow this time, only weakening it before it escaped.

In an instant, it burrowed into another cultivator's body.

...

As soon as the gray-robed cultivator went berserk, Chen Lin followed the other cultivators in rushing towards the city gate, preparing to escape.

Yu Ding himself also activated his spiritual treasures, chasing after the two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

From a distance, Chen Lin heard Yu Ding's angry roar and couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Was Luo Ziqing really that important, to the point where Qingyun Sect would mobilize such a large force, not caring about offending the Mountain Sect and other cultivators?

And what about the red shadow evil spirit that had already possessed the old man, making his life uncertain? Yet, the other side didn't care, only focusing on chasing them?

This was too unreasonable.

Not to mention that they still weren't sure if the killer was among them, even if they were certain, shouldn't there be a distinction between light and heavy, urgent and non-urgent?

Was Luo Ziqing's life more valuable than the old man's, who was also a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator of Qingyun Sect?

Chen Lin was truly at a loss, and could only guess that Luo Ziqing might have a close relationship with the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, perhaps being a relative or illegitimate child.

But this would make his escape even more difficult.

He glanced back and suddenly changed his expression.

There were two figures chasing after him, both with flying speeds that indicated they were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators!

How did Qingyun Sect, which only had one Foundation Establishment Stage, have so many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators? Chen Lin saw that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

The other cultivators didn't care, they were just afraid of the red shadow evil spirit, and if they were caught by Qingyun Sect, they would just stop and let themselves be searched.

But Chen Lin couldn't, he was the real killer!

Chen Lin continued to flee wildly, thinking anxiously about a plan, but felt that no method would be effective.

Although his puppet was comparable to a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, it couldn't match them in actual combat, and what's more, there were multiple pursuers. If Yu Ding came, one move would be enough to take him down.

The Thunderbolt Bead was also useless, using it would be equivalent to revealing his identity, and everyone would come after him.

What to do?

Chen Lin's heart sank further.

As he saw the pursuers getting closer, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly shouted, "No good, the evil spirit is catching up! Everyone, scatter and run!"

After shouting, he changed direction and darted into the small path amidst the wheat fields!

Those who were fleeing on the ground with Chen Lin were all mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and they had already been terrified by the ferocity of the red shadow.

Upon hearing Chen Lin's shout, everyone didn't even think about verifying the situation, and instinctively began to scatter in all directions, fleeing wildly towards different paths.
