Chapter 62: Little Fairy

Chapter 62: Little Fairy Translator: Cinder Translations

---

Yan Gao and Yan Wu led their clansmen in pursuit of the wandering cultivators.

Yan Zhengping, on the other hand, led his clansmen to set up defenses and guarded closely around Elder Yan Tiangong.

Initially, Yan Zhengping wanted to personally pursue Ghost Three. However, due to his recently injured leg and Elder Yan's severe condition requiring protection, he decided against chasing Ghost Three.

At this moment, Guo Tao limped over. He too was heavily wounded from the recent battle but had managed to save his life.

He said, "Master, it seems like Ji Yin has managed to escape."

Yan Zhengping suddenly lifted his head, realizing he still needed to deal with Ji Yin.

Feeling somewhat annoyed, he knew the best option for the Yan family now was to swiftly relocate to the territory of the Nine Palaces Sect. However, such a mass migration would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Corpse Demon Sect.

For now, they could only try to conceal the Yan family's betrayal from the Corpse Demon Sect, buy time, and delay as much as possible for the Yan family's relocation.

As for waiting for the final batch of high-grade Rainbow Grass to mature and gain greater benefits, Yan Zhengping dared not hope for such extravagance anymore. His priority now was to save as many clan members as possible.

Yan Zhengping scanned Guo Tao's condition with his spiritual power. Guo Tao was severely injured and no longer suitable for pursuing Song Wen.

His gaze then swept over the remaining clan members who still had fighting capability on the wreckage.

Finally, his gaze fell on a young man with a seventh layer of Qi Refinement.

"Yan Feng, come here," Yan Zhengping said.

Yan Feng had been on the ship earlier during the inventory of the Rainbow Grass. He was familiar with Song Wen and had decent strength, making him suitable for chasing after Song Wen, who was only at the third layer of Qi Refinement.

Moreover, most of the Yan family's late Qi Refinement stage cultivators had already left with Yan Gao and Yan Wu. Currently, only Yan Feng remained capable of pursuing Song Wen.

After Yan Feng approached, Yan Zhengping instructed him, "Yan Feng, go and pursue Ji Yin. You must kill him before he escapes the swamp."

Yan Feng replied, "Yes, Master. But the swamp is vast. Which direction should I pursue?"

Yan Zhengping was momentarily uncertain; he hadn't paid attention to the direction Ji Yin fled.

Beside him, Guo Tao spoke up, "During the battle, I happened to pay close attention to Ji Yin. He should have gone southwest."

Yan Zhengping was surprised. "Southwest!"

The southwest direction was the closest exit from the swamp, only about two hundred miles away.

"It seems we have underestimated Ji Yin," Yan Zhengping said regretfully.

It had been over a quarter of an hour since Song Wen escaped. If Song Wen had used flight talismans continuously, he might have already fled a hundred miles away from here.

"Yan Feng, take several clansmen and pursue him immediately."

...

Meanwhile, on Song Wen's side.

After escaping the battlefield, he had been heading southwest.

With the aid of flight talismans, his speed was fast. Almost every time he climbed trees and leaped, he could cover over a hundred meters. If he exceeded this distance, his speed would noticeably decrease, slowing down his overall escape.

An hour later, the flight talisman expired.

Without hesitation, Song Wen activated another flight talisman. Without flight talismans in these swampy forests, his speed would drop by more than half.

Half an hour later, Song Wen had used up four flight talismans and finally managed to exit the swamp.

Upon stepping out of the swamp, Song Wen unexpectedly encountered someone.

Yan Yiwen!

Seeing Yan Yiwen appear ahead, Song Wen couldn't help but feel nervous. Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This woman had the strength of Qi Refinement seventh layer. In a direct confrontation, he was definitely no match for her.

However, what was fortunate was that when Ghost Three exposed the Yan family's collusion with the Nine Palaces Sect, Yan Yiwen was not present. There was a good chance she did not know that Song Wen was already aware of the Yan family's betrayal of the Corpse Demon Sect.

Song Wen even speculated that Yan Yiwen might not even know about the Yan family's betrayal of the Corpse Demon Sect at all. After all, she was still young and immature in character. It was very likely that the senior members of the Yan family had not informed her of such a secret.

Thinking this, Song Wen forced himself to remain calm, staring firmly at her, not daring to make any rash moves.

As Song Wen noticed Yan Yiwen, Yan Yiwen also saw the bedraggled fleeing figure of Song Wen.

Her eyes were full of disdain.

Just as Song Wen had guessed, she was unaware of the Yan family's betrayal of the Corpse Demon Sect, nor did she know that the Yan family's members were currently pursuing Song Wen.

While practicing cultivation within the clan today, she received a transmission from the Elder about criminals attacking the Yan family.

At that time, Yan Tiangong received an urgent message through a secret technique from Yan Zhengping, knowing that Ghost Three had gathered a group of quite capable wandering cultivators. Feeling old and severely weakened, Yan Tiangong was not confident in repelling them.

To preserve the Yan family's heritage, he informed the clan's most talented member, Yan Yiwen, and let her leave alone.

In case the Yan family was destroyed, it was also considered preserving a trace of bloodline for the Yan family, leaving a chance for a comeback.

Although Yan Yiwen was reluctant and intended to stay with the Yan family, intimidated by the majesty of Yan Tiangong within the clan, she ultimately had to yield and chose to flee alone.

After she left the swamp area, she found a dense forest to hide in. Unexpectedly, she ran into the fleeing Song Wen.

Yan Yiwen didn't think much about Song Wen's panicked appearance. She presumed that he was probably frightened by Ghost Three and his group, which led him to flee hastily to the edge of the swamp area.

Yan Yiwen glanced disdainfully at Song Wen a few times, then turned away and stopped paying attention to him. She held him in contempt.

Weak in strength and cowardly, truly a small and weak person.

However, she soon noticed that Song Wen's gaze was constantly fixed on her.

Yan Yiwen was accustomed to the attention of the opposite sex. Not only was she outstanding in talent, but her appearance and figure were also exceptionally outstanding.

In daily life, whether within the clan or when going out, she was always the focus of the opposite sex's attention.

She didn't feel disgusted by the attention of the opposite sex. On the contrary, she was somewhat complacent. This was the best proof of her own charm.

However, today, she was worried about the safety of her clan members. Regarding Song Wen's attention, she did not feel pleased. Instead, she felt annoyed.

She furrowed her brows, coldly rebuking him.

"Ji Yin, if you dare to look again, I will gouge out your eyes. Don't think just because you're on a mission for the sect, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

Facing Yan Yiwen's loud reprimand, Song Wen was initially stunned, but then secretly rejoiced. It seemed this foolish woman really knew nothing at all.

However, how did she manage to exude such dislike and inexplicable superiority?

Did she think he was interested in her?

Was this the so-called little fairy in the cultivation world?

Song Wen's thoughts were in turmoil, but his face showed no expression. He immediately appeared cautious and afraid.

"I dare not, I dare not. I'll leave right away."

Song Wen circumvented Yan Yiwen and rushed towards a distant mountain, quickly disappearing into the dense forest.

It was only after Song Wen had left for a while that Yan Yiwen suddenly reacted.

"Oh dear, I should have asked about the battle situation."

"But this person is weak in strength. Able to escape alive, he probably fled as soon as the battle started. He probably doesn't know the situation either, so asking would be pointless."

Yan Yiwen muttered to herself.
