"Little girl, can you still hold on?"

At the edge of Boundless Forest, Lin City asked in a low voice.

Zhu Ziyang nodded his head, a trace of exhaustion showing on his charming face. With a resolute look, he said, "It's fine. Little thief, let's hurry up and go. We can't stop now."

"Take another Origin Recovery Pill!" Lin Cheng took out another porcelain bottle from his storage pouch and handed it over to Bamboo Fork.

He could tell that Bamboo Fork was already extremely exhausted.

For cultivators, the place where they killed Xu Zian was very close to the edge of Boundless Forest, but for them, it was a pretty long journey.

Cultivators could fly in the air and travel thousands of miles in a day. Moreover, they didn't have to worry about being attacked by beasts at all. Even normal demon beasts wouldn't easily provoke human cultivators.

However, Lin City and Bamboo Gou walked with great difficulty. Not only did they have to guard against the attacks of ferocious beasts, they also had to avoid the demonic beasts' territory in advance.

As a result, both their mental and physical energy consumption was enormous.

Besides, the bamboo shoot had not fully recovered.

Lin City blocked Xu Zian for her, but he knew that Bamboo Hill didn't immediately recover. She only started to circulate her mystical arts after seeing him kill Xu Zian.

He knew that Zhu Ziyang was worried about him, but it also made it easier for her to recover. All this time, the elemental energy that Zhu Ziya had just recovered was almost used up.

Ah!

Bamboo Fork suddenly cried out softly, her pretty face turning red. "Little thief, you …"

It was Lin Cheng who watched her consume the Origin Recovering Pill and then picked her up and carried her on his back.

"Don't say anything, just focus on recovering."

Lin Cheng said in a deep voice, "We need to leave Boundless Forest as soon as possible. The Myriad Sword Sect's cultivators will come chasing us at any time."

Zhu Zi's pretty face was burning. She was extremely embarrassed. However, to her surprise, she did not fight against him. Instead, she let out a charming snort and said no more.

Lin Cheng grinned and silently smiled. He knew that this girl was very thin-skinned and he couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. However, he couldn't care less about that at this moment.

Besides, Lin Cheng enjoyed the fragrance of the soft jade pressing against his back.

After more than two hours, the two of them finally arrived at the outermost region of the Boundless Forest. However, the city didn't dare to relax in the slightest, because it knew that compared to the dense forest, the outermost regions were much more dangerous.

Almost all of the experts in the Eastern Region Academy had been assigned to search the area. Once they were discovered, it would not be so easy to get rid of them. It would be a fierce battle.

The most terrifying thing was that the result of not fighting for too long would certainly attract the cultivators from the Myriad Sword Sect, and that would be a road of death.

Therefore, Lin City had to be extremely vigilant.

"Little thief, quickly put me down!"

Suddenly, Bamboo Shoot's bashful voice was heard.

Lin Cheng chuckled, "How's your recovery going?"

Lying on Lin City's back, Bamboo's pretty face was burning. He bit his lips and said, "I've already recovered. Hurry up and put me down."

In order to ensure that she was able to channel her Yuan Power and absorb the Yuan Recovery Pill's medicinal power without being disturbed, Lin Cheng used both of his hands to use his Yuan Power to hold her body tightly, causing her to be unable to come down even if she wanted to.

Knowing that Zhu Zi's face was thin, Lin Cheng stopped teasing her and quickly put her down. Looking at her blushing face, he couldn't help but feel slightly enchanting, causing him to feel slightly absent-minded.

"What are you looking at!"

Lin Cheng's burning gaze made her a little shy, and Bamboo Hill couldn't help but give him a white eye as he spoke in a displeased tone.

Lin Cheng chuckled, but didn't say anything.

Bamboo stick bared his teeth, "Stop laughing!"

Although she looked fierce, her face was red with shyness, and her eyes were full of shyness.

"Good!" Good! I don't laugh... "Haha …" Lin Cheng couldn't help but laugh once again. This little girl usually had a ferocious and unruly appearance, but unexpectedly, she had this kind of shy attitude.

However, Lin City had to admit that even though the girl was only a young girl, she had a bit of charm now. Especially her pair of moving eyes, it really made one unable to shift their gaze away from her.

When this girl grew up, she would probably become a beauty who would bring calamity to her country!

Lin Cheng muttered under his breath.

"What are you talking about?"

Zhu Ziyang snorted.

Lin Cheng shook his head as he laughed, "It's nothing much, I'm just thinking about how to leave this place safely."

Zhu Ziyang naturally did not believe him, but hearing him mention the escape route, he became more spirited, "Yongan City is definitely not possible. Not only are there heavy soldiers guarding it, but there are also people from the Eastern Region Academy patrolling the road from here to Yongan City. Occasionally, cultivators would fly past."

Lin City immediately knew that this girl had indeed been to Yongan City before, but she did not leave alone. Instead, she had returned.

"Then, if we don't go to Yongan city and change our direction midway, can we leave this place?" Lin Cheng asked.

"We can only rely on luck."

Zhu Ziyang said, "If there are only people patrolling the East Region Academy, then even if we run into them, we might be able to get away. Moreover, the area is so large that as long as we don't go to the cities or relay stations, we'll have a chance to leave."

Lin City immediately asked: "Then why didn't you leave before?"

Bamboo stick blushed and snorted, "I'm afraid that after a certain thief gets beaten to death, there won't even be a corpse!"

Lin Cheng laughed.

This girl had returned for him.

Just as she said, from Wuya Forest to Yongan City, the closest distance was over a hundred miles. Within such a vast area, there were large areas of forests and even rivers. It wouldn't be difficult for them to leave.

However, Zhu Zifu did not leave alone. Naturally, she was not so foolish as to come back and throw away her life. Or perhaps, she thought that she would be able to sweep through the entire East Region Academy alone.

She had come back for herself.

A warm feeling flowed quietly through his heart. Lin Cheng had a gentle smile on his face as he looked at the bamboo shoot up in the air.

Just as he was about to look at her, Lin City's complexion suddenly changed.

"Girl, be careful!"

Lin Cheng whispered as he pulled down the bamboo behind a large tree.

Swish!

The next moment, Lin Cheng pulled out his dagger without waiting for Bamboo Gou to speak. He stepped on the clouds and his figure suddenly expanded. He then launched the "Scorching Sun Saber" toward a thick bush in front of him.

Ah!

Lin Cheng's sharp sword slashed out, and a low cry of alarm suddenly sounded out from within the dense grass. In the next moment, three figures abruptly leaped out, appearing extremely miserable.

"Pfft!"

With a slash of the sword, the dense grass was instantly shortened by a large amount. There was even a tree that was as thick as an adult's thigh!

At this moment, the sword in Lin Cheng's hand was two to three meters away from the grass and trees!

Just the sharp killing intent on the short sword was able to create such a shocking effect. Even Bamboo Gou Zi couldn't help but stare blankly.

"Please show mercy, Young Master!"

When the three saw this scene, they were so scared that their souls left their bodies and they hurriedly opened their mouths to beg for forgiveness.

Lin Cheng was slightly startled when he heard that, and he asked in a surprised tone, "It's you guys? Why are you two here? "

He really didn't expect that the three people who had been scared to the point of begging for mercy were the three students from the East Region Academy that he had met earlier. In other words, the three long blade martial artists that separated only after he had walked together with them until he had met the male companion of the Myriad Sword Sect, Xu Zian.

When the three warriors with long blades saw Lin Cheng, they were also surprised. Their faces immediately lit up, but then they suddenly thought of something and their faces simultaneously changed. They subconsciously took two steps back.

"You three, you came to hunt me down?"

Seeing the reaction of the three warriors, Lin Cheng immediately went on guard. He raised the short sword in his hand and prepared to attack at any moment.

Upon seeing this, the other three hastily waved their hands, "No, no, no, senior, please do not misunderstand. We are not hunting you, we were forced to hide here …"

Lin Cheng frowned slightly as he looked at them suspiciously.

The martial artist with the long blade swallowed his saliva with difficulty and braced himself to say: "Senior, the three of us are just little martial artists at the Pulse Wheel Realm, and in the eyes of senior, we are nothing more than a few ants. Please be magnanimous, and spare us once."

Lin Cheng furrowed his brows, he faintly felt that something was amiss. However, he maintained his composure and merely replied in a low voice, "Why should I let you off? Give me a reason."

The sabre martial artist quickly said, "Before, we were fortunate enough to follow Senior to the outskirts of Boundless Forest, and it was much safer. However, after Senior left, the three of us did not dare to easily return to the depths of the forest. On one hand, our strength is low, and on the other, we are worried that we will be punished when we return …"

"Yes, yes, yes. What senior Zhou said is right. Senior, if the three of us were to return to the depths of the forest, I'm afraid that we would be killed on the way by the beasts."

Another warrior quickly added, "Because we are worried about being punished, we can only choose to escape. Please spare us, Senior."

"Are you running away?"

Lin Cheng was a little taken aback. "Aren't you afraid that the elders from the Eastern Region Academy will punish you after they return to the academy?"

The long-saber martial artist gave a wry smile. "If we didn't run, we wouldn't even be able to keep our lives. How would we be able to care about being punished?" What's more … We do not plan on returning to the Eastern Region Academy either. "

Lin City suddenly realized something. No wonder he felt something was off. So the three of them were not here to kill him. Instead, they were here to escape as well!

"Then why are you two hiding here?" Zhu Zifu suddenly asked.

"Ugh …"

The three of them could not help but be speechless. They looked at each other and felt a little awkward.

Finally, it was the long blade martial artist who said, "The strength of the three of us are weak. The outside area is filled with powerful martial artists, so the three of us don't dare to leave. We can only hide for a distance before continuing our journey …"

He embarrassedly said, "I just didn't expect to meet Senior here."
