Beside a stream in the woods.
The Magical Beast Carriage carrying Chu Zhou was surrounded by a group of black-clad men.
Several Dou Shi were attacking Luo Lin together. Though their cultivation was several stars below hers, their numbers gave them the advantage.
As time passed, Luo Lin was driven steadily back. Gaps were already appearing in her defense, and she struggled to keep up.
"Tell us where Chu Zhou is, and we'll give you a quick death." A burly, middle-aged man among the attackers stood on a rock with his arms folded, looking down at Luo Lin with lust and cruelty in his eyes.

"A False Realm Pill. It briefly brings her up to the level of a One-Star Great Dou Master." The burly man's gaze turned cold. Dou Qi surged from his body and condensed into Dou Qi Armor over his skin.

"I gave you a chance, but you refused to appreciate it. Then..."
Whoosh!
