After returning to the Primeval Ancient Realm, Qin Feng quickly sensed the coordinates he had left behind, then headed toward the two girls.
Counting the time he had spent undergoing his tribulation and healing his injuries, more than a month had passed since he parted with them. The two girls had already traveled a long way.
But with Qin Feng's current cultivation as an Extreme Dao Supreme, catching up to them would take only a single stride.
As he drew near, Qin Feng suddenly heard the sounds of fighting. Up ahead, the Lunar Jade Rabbit was racing along with the girl from the An Lan Imperial Clan in tow.
Meanwhile, the Immortal Phoenix maiden was fighting alongside another young woman Qin Feng did not recognize. She had beautiful golden hair and a lovely face.
The two were working together to hold off pursuers from the Foreign Realm. Their leader had a pair of enormous crane wings spread behind his back, and a blood-red lion mount followed at his side.
He was trailing the girls at an unhurried pace.
The youth was exceptionally powerful. Their cultivation levels were similar, all in the Void Dao Realm, yet the strength they displayed was on entirely different levels.
Qin Feng reckoned that even if all three girls joined forces, they would be no match for this winged youth.
A large crowd surrounded the youth as well, all young experts from the Foreign Realm. By now, the two girls were struggling to fend them off.
Qin Feng frowned at the sight. How had these two girls been caught?
The Chaos Aura he had released should have concealed them extremely well. Even an Undying One would not have discovered them without a careful search. And who was that other golden-haired woman?
All three girls were wounded now, their auras unsteady. Clearly, they had been pursued for a long time.
An Extreme Dao Supreme was also accompanying the youth, concealed in the shadows. Qin Feng could have figured out the youth's identity with his backside.
He had worn through iron shoes searching in vain, only to find what he sought without lifting a finger!
"If you come any closer, I'll kill her." The Lunar Jade Rabbit, Yueling, pressed a dagger to the An Lan Imperial Clan girl's neck, even drawing a red line across it.
That move indeed made the pursuers hesitate, afraid of smashing the vase while striking the rat. Several stopped and looked toward the youth before them.
"Hmph. If you dare kill her, I guarantee I'll torture all three of you in the cruelest ways imaginable!
"I'll tear out your tendons and flay your skin, pull apart your bones and strip off your flesh, then feed you to my Blood Phoenix Lion mount." The youth snorted and delivered his vicious threat, showing no sign of being intimidated.
"Don't the three of you call yourselves the young Supremes of this realm? In that case, I'll fight all three of you alone. Come at me together."
"If it were truly a fair duel, we naturally wouldn't be afraid. But you call this a fair duel?
"The Immortal Kings of your realm are ganging up on ours, and your Undying Ones are using superior numbers against our True Immortals. You still have the nerve to talk?" the golden-haired girl said with a cold snort.
At the same time, she violently threw a punch, blasting an approaching Foreign Realm cultivator backward. He flew through the air and exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
That attack used no flashy spells or Precious Techniques, only pure strength. This girl was incredibly strong!
"Heh! Search your conscience. When I, He Wushuang, fought you and your elder brother, did I ever call for help?
"Didn't I defeat the two of you alone?
"How about this? I'll give the three of you a chance, so no one can say I bully women.
"If you release her, I'll give you two hours to escape. During those two hours, I absolutely won't pursue you," the crane-winged youth said, coming to a stop.
"Who knows whether you'll keep your word? Since when have people from the Foreign Realm ever honored their promises?" said Jiang Huang, the Immortal Phoenix maiden.
"I, He Wushuang, never go back on my word. Since I've spoken, no one here will pursue you. Certainly not for at least two hours. You can rest assured," He Wushuang said with a cold snort.
"Young master, they have an extremely concealed Formation on them. If we let them escape, we may not be able to track them," a cultivator in the Self-Slash realm said as he flew over.
Encountering these two girls had been something of an accident. Had they not leaped out to rescue someone themselves, the pursuers would never have discovered their whereabouts. They seemed to carry the handiwork of a Great Divine Ability User.
"Say no more. Even if they flee to the ends of the earth, I can still catch them."
"Sister Jiang Huang, what should we do? Should we release this girl?" the Lunar Jade Rabbit asked quietly.
For a moment, the Immortal Phoenix maiden was torn. This was an important captive their senior had entrusted to them. They absolutely could not hand her over so easily!
But if they refused, then under the present circumstances, they could only keep running for another day or two at most before they were caught.
"Little sisters, if there's no other way, you two should run. Don't worry about me. I was already doomed to die," the golden-haired woman said with a sigh.
"Sister Jin Ling, what are you saying? Big Brother Golden Horn is already dead. We absolutely won't let you die too," Jiang Huang said through gritted teeth.
No matter what, they had to stake everything on one last fight. Otherwise, they would be letting down Senior Qin, as well as all the worthy predecessors who had fallen in battle in the Primeval Ancient Realm.
"Yueling, if we reach the final moment, don't hesitate. Slit this girl's throat. If we have to die, we'll take someone down with us," Jiang Huang said.
The Lunar Jade Rabbit nodded resolutely, while the girl from the An Lan Clan was so furious she wanted to unleash a torrent of curses.
"He Wushuang, let the three of them go and have them release me. I'll ask my father to reward you generously."
"You're truly useless. A descendant of Ancient Ancestor An Lan, yet you let yourself be captured so easily," He Wushuang said with a cold snort.
He showed not the slightest consideration for this proud young lady of the Imperial Clan.
"What do you know? Even together, they're no match for me. They weren't the ones who captured me. It was the person behind them!
"He's a Supreme. You may be the greatest young genius of our realm, but you'd have no power to fight back against a Supreme either," the An Lan Imperial Clan girl said through clenched teeth.
This bastard was becoming more and more insolent. Ever since he had been bestowed the name Peerless and designated by the Immortal Kings as the leader of the younger generation, he had grown increasingly arrogant and overbearing.
"Hahaha! What's a Supreme worth? Give me five hundred years at most. Once I become a Supreme, I'll surely slay him!" He Wushuang said with a great laugh.
Just then, a silent Chaos Light Ray suddenly shot out, severely wounding the Extreme Dao Supreme guarding He Wushuang.
A large hand reached out of the void and seized the Extreme Dao Supreme by the throat, instantly draining every last drop of the essence of his flesh and blood.
Finally, a streak of purple true qi swept past, pulverizing over a hundred Foreign Realm pursuers in an instant.
"Brat, who did you just say you would kill? Say it again?"
