He pointed at some scattered footprints and broken branches near the cliff. "Look, there are signs that people went down here!"
Of course, if you put on an act, you had to go all the way. Chun Xiaobai had brought Xiao Zhang along earlier to fake all these traces.
The disciples grew wildly excited at the sight and urged him on.
"Senior Brother, what are we waiting for? Let's get down there! If we wait any longer and those righteous-path weaklings get there first, there won't be any treasure left for us!"
But just as they eagerly prepared to set off, something suddenly changed!
An afterimage swept up behind them like a phantom and plunged into the crowd!
Wherever it passed, the disciples felt a chill at their necks, then their entire bodies stiffened!
"Enemy attack!"
Those who reacted quickly roared and tried to summon their War Puppets, but they no longer had a chance to climb into the puppets' heads!
Chun Xiaobai pushed Shrinking Land to Inches to its limit, darting through the crowd. Every time he flashed into view, he struck the acupoints of several disciples and froze them in place!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
After immobilizing forty disciples in succession, he instantly exhausted all the power in his body.
Without time to hesitate, he activated Rampage Mode with a thought!
Vrrm-!
A savage aura erupted from his body!
In the next instant, Chun Xiaobai's speed surged more than tenfold!
With a single swish, an impossibly swift afterimage threaded through the remaining crowd. Everyone froze in place-even Xiao Zhang, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, was caught in it.
"Whew!"
Chun Xiaobai let out a heavy breath and patted his chest, still shaken as he looked at the statues scattered before him.
*Thank goodness.
