Little Fairy
Yan Gao and Yan Wu led their clansmen to hunt down the Rogue Cultivator.
Yan Zhengping led his clansmen to set up defenses and guarded the ancestor Yan Tiangong.
Yan Zhengping originally intended to personally pursue and kill Ghost Three, but firstly, he had broken a leg in the recent battle and was unable to move easily, and secondly, his ancestor was seriously injured and needed someone to guard him, so he did not go after Ghost Three.
At this moment, Guo Tao limped over. He had also been seriously injured in the battle just now, but he had managed to survive.
He said, "Master, it seems that the brat Extreme Yin has escaped."
Yan Zhengping suddenly raised his head, only then remembering that there was still Extreme Yin who needed to be killed.
He couldn't help but become a little irritable. In fact, the best way out for the Yan Family right now was for the entire clan to relocate to the territory of the Nine Palaces Sect as soon as possible.
However, the hasty migration of the entire clan would certainly cause a great commotion and would inevitably attract the attention of the Corpse Demon Sect.
The only option now is to try to cover up the secret of the Yan Family's betrayal of the Corpse Demon Sect, buy time, and buy precious time for the Yan Family to relocate.
As for waiting for the last batch of high-quality Seven-Colored Grass to mature and reap greater profits, Yan Zhengping no longer dares to hope for that.
All he wants now is to save as many of his people as possible.
Yan Zhengping used his mental power to scan Guo Tao's condition. Guo Tao was seriously injured and was no longer suitable to pursue Song Wen.
Yan Zhengping's gaze swept across the wreckage, scrutinizing the clansmen who were still capable of fighting.
Finally, his gaze fell upon a young man at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
"Yan Feng, come here," Yan Zhengping said.
When Yan Feng came over to take stock of the Seven-Colored Grass in the morning, he was on the boat. He knew Song Wen, and he was quite strong, so it would be easy for him to chase down Song Wen, who was only at the Qi Refining Third Layer.
Moreover, most of the Yan Family members who were still capable of fighting in the Late Qi Refinement had already been taken away by Yan Gao and Yan Wu. At present, the task of hunting down Song Wen could only be entrusted to Yan Feng.
After Yan Feng approached, Yan Zhengping said.
"Yan Feng, go after Extreme Yin. You must kill him before he escapes the swamp."
Yan Feng said, "Yes, patriarch. However, the swamp is so vast, which direction should I pursue them in?"
Yan Zhengping was also somewhat bewildered upon hearing this, as he had not noticed the direction in which Song Wen had fled.
Guo Tao, who was standing nearby, said, "During the battle, I was distracted by Extreme Yin; he must have headed southwest."
Yan Zhengping was startled upon hearing this, "Southwest direction!"
The southwest direction is the closest to the swamp, only about two hundred li away.
"It seems we underestimated the Extreme Yin," Yan Zhengping said with a hint of regret.
More than two quarters of an hour had passed since Song Wen left. If Song Wen had continued to use Flying Talisman to escape without paying the price, he would have already traveled more than a hundred miles.
"Yan Feng, take a few more clansmen and go after them immediately."
On the other hand, let's look at Song Wen's side.
After leaving the battlefield, he fled in a southwest direction.
With the help of the Flying Talisman, he was very fast. Almost every time he climbed a tree and jumped, he could leap a distance of 100 meters. Beyond this distance, his forward speed would decrease significantly, which would actually reduce his overall escape speed.
The Flying Talisman became ineffective after fifteen minutes.
Without hesitation, Song Wen activated a new Flying Talisman. Without Flying Talisman, his escape speed in this swampy forest would decrease by more than 50%.
Half an hour later, Song Wen used up four Flying Talisman and finally got out of the swamp.
As soon as he stepped out of the swamp, Song Wen saw an unexpected person.
Yan Yiwen!
Upon seeing Yan Yiwen appear ahead, Song Wen couldn't help but feel nervous.
This woman possesses the strength of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer of Qi Refining; in a direct confrontation, I would definitely be no match for her.
Fortunately, Yan Yiwen was not present when Ghost Three announced the Yan Family's collusion with the Nine Palaces Sect. It is highly likely that she was unaware that Song Wen already knew the secret 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. After all, she was still young and immature, and the higher-ups in the Yan Family were unlikely to tell her such a secret.
Thinking of this, Song Wen pretended to be calm, staring intently at the other party, not daring to make any rash moves.
When Song Wen noticed Yan Yiwen also saw Song Wen fleeing in a disheveled state.
Her eyes were full of disdain.
Just as Song Wen guessed, she was unaware that the Yan Family had betrayed the Corpse Demon Sect, nor was she aware that the Yan Family was hunting down Song Wen.
While she was practicing asceticism within the clan today, she received a message from the ancestor that thugs were attacking the Yan Family.
At that time, Yan Tiangong received an urgent message from Yan Zhengping transmitted back to the clan through Secret Method. He learned that Ghost Three had gathered a group of powerful rogue Rogue Cultivator. Yan Tiangong felt that he was old and his strength was severely weakened, and he was not confident that he could defeat the opponent.
In order to preserve the Yan Family's legacy, he informed Yan Yiwen, the most talented member of the clan, and asked Yan Yiwen to leave alone.
Even if the Yan Family is wiped out, it can be considered that a trace of the Yan Family bloodline has been preserved, leaving them a chance to make a comeback.
Although Yan Yiwen was unwilling and wanted to live and die with the Yan Family, she was intimidated by Yan Tiangong's authority within the clan and could only submit in the end, choosing to escape alone.
After she left the swamp, she hid in a dense forest, only to unexpectedly run into Song Wen, who was on the run.
Yan Yiwen didn't think much of Song Wen's disheveled escape. In her opinion, Song Wen was probably frightened by Ghost Three and his gang, which is why he fled to the edge of the swamp in a panic.
Yan Yiwen glanced at Song Wen with disdain a few times, then turned her head away, no longer paying attention to Song Wen. She held Song Wen in very low regard.
With little strength and a cowardly heart, he is truly a petty and weakling.
However, she soon noticed that Song Wen's gaze remained fixed on her.
Yan Yiwen was already used to the attention she received from the opposite sex. Not only was she exceptionally talented in cultivation, but she also possessed an extraordinary appearance and figure.
On ordinary days, whether within the clan or when she goes out, she is always the focus of attention for men.
She wasn't disgusted by the attention she received from men; on the contrary, she was somewhat pleased with it, which was the best proof of her own charm.
However, today, she was worried about the safety of her people, and she felt no joy at Song Wen's concern; on the contrary, she felt annoyed.
She raised an eyebrow and rebuked in a cold voice.
"Extreme Yin, if you dare look again, I'll gouge out your eyes. Don't think that just because you're on a sect mission, I won't dare do anything to you."
Faced with Yan Yiwen's loud rebuke, Song Wen was first taken aback, then secretly delighted, thinking that this silly woman really didn't know anything.
But what's with that sense of disgust and inexplicable superiority she exudes?
Does he think I'm interested in her?
Could this be a fairy from the Cultivation World?!
Song Wen's mind was racing, but he didn't show it on his face. He immediately adopted a timid and hesitant demeanor.
"No, no, I'll leave right away."
Song Wen bypassed Yan Yiwen and sped towards a distant mountain, disappearing into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
It wasn't until a short while after Song Wen left that Yan Yiwen suddenly realized what was happening.
"Oh dear, I should ask how the battle is going?"
"However, this person's strength is weak. The fact that he managed to escape alive means that he fled as soon as the battle began, and he probably doesn't know anything about the situation. Asking him would be pointless."
Yan Yiwen said to herself.
