Chapter 330: Young Hero Chu Is Truly A Good Person

Boom!

The battle between the two mountain sheep was like a collision of two blazing mountains, causing the molten rock in the ground to shake. Chu Liang retreated rapidly, afraid of being caught in the crossfire of these two bad-tempered mountain sheep.

After retreating some distance away, he noticed a beam of swordlight nearby. Someone was evading the mountain sheep in the same direction as him.

Whoosh.

There was a flash of light as the swordlight stopped in front of Chu Liang. The person standing on the sword was the young lady with a waist-length ponytail—Li Shiyi of the Endless Sword Sect.

Upon seeing Chu Liang, Li Shiyi uttered, "Huh?"

She furrowed her brows and blinked her dark brown eyes nervously.

Chu Liang responded with a greeting. "Miss Li."

Li Shiyi stared at Chu Liang for a moment before asking weakly, "Are we going to fight?"

"Ha." Chu Liang couldn't help but laugh. Then he shrugged. "I don't think it's necessary. We haven't even seen the Phoenix Sheep's Fruit of Life yet. There's nothing to fight over."

"That's good then."

Li Shiyi's tense shoulders relaxed immediately, clearly feeling relieved.

The young lady had left home with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, but she had become much more apprehensive after seeing Luo Xiaoyong and Feng Chaoyang fight at the slightest disagreement. She was now very afraid that she would encounter someone who would suddenly hit her.

Boom!

The two mountain sheep collided repeatedly. It seemed they weren't intended to stop until one of them fell.

"They are so fierce..." Li Shiyi muttered.

Not really knowing what to say, Chu Liang just nodded. "Indeed."

Then suddenly, there was a loud buzzing sound, and a cloud of fire emerged in the distant sky.

It was another massive flock of inferno phoenixes! And there were even more of them this time!

Chu Liang's pupils dilated in alarm. "Run!"

The incoming flock of inferno phoenixes even caused the two mountain sheep to stop fighting. There were simply too many inferno phoenixes, forcing the huge mountain sheep to retreat!

Swoosh, swoosh.

Two beam swordlights, one white and the other pink, shot up. Chu Liang's flying sword rushed out at full speed, gliding across the sky like a streak of lightning! However, Li Shiyi's sword-riding speed was pretty similar to Chu Liang's; she was right behind him!

Chu Liang was dumbfounded. It seemed this young lady was more capable than her young age suggested.

The power of this large flock of inferno phoenixes had reached a terrifying level. If they were to catch up with him, Chu Liang would very likely become one of the few core disciples of the Four Great Immortal Sects to die in the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm.

That's right. The death rate in the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm was very low, but it wasn't zero!

A paradise in the mortal realm? Take it as if I'm on a vacation?

Chu Liang thought of his teacher's words while he was being chased, and he shed glistening teardrops that looked like ice crystals.

The massive flock of inferno phoenixes seemed to extend across half of the sky. Chu Liang was about to be surrounded.

He gritted his teeth and reluctantly took out a pill from his chest pocket. It was the Essence-Concealing Pill!

Alchemists had ceased production of this rare pill for many years. Every pill he consumed was one he could never replace. There were only three left of the pills Chu Liang had found in that gourd.

The Essence-Concealing Pill was definitely a great thing, especially when he needed to take action in secret. It was the perfect tool for taking action in stealth. Nonetheless, he had no choice but to take an Essence-Concealing Pill at this moment.

Chu Liang swallowed the Essence-Concealing Pill, concealing all of his qi and, of course, his surging draconic aura.

The clouds of fire in the sky suddenly came to a halt. The inferno phoenixes stirred restlessly in unease. The aura of their enemy—the being their genetic memory told them they had to kill—had suddenly disappeared, leaving only a residual trace of his qi. It wasn't enough to help them track down the enemy.

Chu Liang seized this opportunity to flee swiftly. The effect of the Essence-Concealing Pill only lasted for a quarter of an hour, so he had to find a safe place to hide within this time.

While he was flying, he swept his divine sense over the peak of a high mountain and sensed the auras of three people.

Hmm?

Chu Liang was a little surprised and immediately turned back there.

Upon landing, he found Feng Chaoyang, Luo Xiaoyong, and Li Shiyi, the disciples of the other three immortal sects, just as he'd expected. They were gathered on the mountain peak, standing apart and across from each other.

When Li Shiyi saw Chu Liang, she smiled. "Young Hero Chu, it seems you're fine. That's great!"

"It was a fluke that I managed to escape," Chu Liang said, returning the smile. "What are you three doing here?"

"It's because of what just happened. Something strange has happened in the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm. All the inferno phoenixes have gathered together..." Li Shiyi explained. "So, all we can do is hide here for now."

"Hide?"

Chu Liang was puzzled. What was there to conceal them on this bare mountain peak?

So, he asked, "Won't the inferno phoenixes come here?"

"You didn't know?" Luo Xiaoyong looked at Chu Liang with an astonished expression. "The peak of this mountain, the central mountain, is the only safe spot in the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm."

"A safe spot?" Chu Liang uttered, blinking in surprise.

There's such a thing?
