Once reason prevailed, a question arose: could someone like Shi Chun suddenly flee in such a hurry over a mere trifle?
In the end, what they feared came to pass. The sudden clash was now unavoidable.
Naturally, the Extreme Fire Sect forces encircling them noticed Summer Path Mountain summoning its hidden sentries.
When just one post was called in, the Extreme Fire Sect could still hold back, trying to avoid discovery lest they beat the grass and startle the snake. But once reports of several posts being summoned reached them, Yin Tianlu and the others immediately realized their targets were about to run. Otherwise, they would never withdraw their sentries in an environment like this. Naturally, they could not stand idly by.
"Moooo..."
A deep, drawn-out howl rang through the night sky-the roar of a beast. The members of the Extreme Fire Sect were all demon cultivators.
This was also the signal to strike.
The Summer Path Mountain group gathered. Gu Liani had just ordered them to depart, and her fellow disciples had just taken out their Wind Scales, when the deep roar startled them into turning around as one.
Their eyes filled with shock and uncertainty, Gu Liani and the others immediately sensed trouble.
Figures were already flashing toward them from all sides. Some skimmed close to the ground; others hovered on Wind Scales. Advancing together above and below, they could intercept anyone on the ground and block anyone in the air. Soon, they surrounded the Summer Path Mountain group, who stood back-to-back on guard.
Once they saw that those surrounding them belonged to the Extreme Fire Sect, Gu Liani and the others were both shocked and furious.
To them, this scene was all too familiar-and the last time had not been long ago.
