Li Zizai rode the Spirit Deer Longevity, fleeing desperately through the mountain forests with a panicked expression. An unconscious, gray-haired old man in blue robes was also draped across her back.
Whoosh!
Clanging rang through the mountain forests, the ringing of swords deafening. Behind them, a Peachwood Sword was holding off a Yang Spirit Sword Cultivator.
