Su Sui and Her Companions in Peril

"Senior sister, you can't go on like this. You should run away by yourself. Don't worry about us," a weak-sounding female voice said.

"Yes, senior sister, you should run by yourself. We'll only hold you back if we follow you."

Su Sui's face darkened, and he shouted, "You want me to abandon you and run away? Go and see which senior sister of our Spirit Moon Sect can do that!"

"But..."

"No buts!" Su Sui said decisively, "If we're going to run, we'll run together; if we're going to stay, we'll stay together. At worst, we'll fight to the death. Don't forget our master's Cultivation Method; even if we die, we're not without a chance to be resurrected!"

"Alright then." Lu Xiu, supporting Zhang Fengge, sighed softly and then said no more.

They have been hunted by the people of Ten Thousand Insect Valley for more than three months and are now at their last gasp.

As for the reason they were being hunted down, it was naturally because of the Snow Emperor Butterfly Eggs they had obtained in the Water Flowers and Mirror Moon Secret Realm outside the Desolate City.

It's unclear how the people of Ten Thousand Insect Valley found out about this, which is why they were subjected to this pursuit.

Originally, they thought that after shaking off the Snow Emperor Butterfly Egg, the pursuers would give up. But it turns out that they still pursued them relentlessly after obtaining the item.

This sudden attack caught them completely off guard, who had been somewhat relaxed. If Su Sui hadn't fought desperately, the three of them might not have been able to escape until now.

"I just received replies from Martial Uncle Jin Ling and Martial Uncle Chu He. They're nearby and on their way. You two hold on tight, I don't want to be scolded by Master later."

"Senior Sister, but the enemy has five Nascent Soul Late Stage and three Nascent Soul Middle Stage, plus a large swarm of insects. Even if Uncle-Master Jin Ling and the others arrive, I'm afraid it will be too late..."

Under Su Sui's stern gaze, Lu Xiu stopped her worried words. Yes, her junior sister wasn't doing well right now; she couldn't afford to dampen her spirits further, otherwise...

"It seems like the Chaos and Separation Plains are not far ahead. I heard it's a bit chaotic here. You two be careful. Maybe we won't need Uncle Jin Ling and the others to come and rescue us."

Su Sui decided to use one wolf to devour another, since almost none of the cultivators on this Chaos and Separation Plains were kind-hearted, so she felt no guilt whatsoever in doing so.

At this moment, sensing the approaching presence behind them, Su Sui's expression turned somewhat cold. "They're coming. Let's go."

On the Chaos and Separation Plains, in a low mountain valley, Lü Yang, who was studying formations, suddenly looked up at the sky and saw three streaks of light flying directly towards him.

His expression changed slightly. Without even thinking, he didn't return to his cave abode and instead flew away from there.

Lü Yang, who had been in this Chaos and Separation Plains place for so long, was well aware of the chaos. Using others to do one's dirty work was a common occurrence, and he had even done it himself a few times. He still remembered the location of the residences of those ruthless people here.

Those three streaks of light were clearly being chased. They were heading towards him because they wanted him to hold off their pursuers so that they could escape.

"Better to die for a fellow Daoist than for myself"—this kind of person is the most despicable. I'm just sitting at home, but someone always manages to bring trouble upon me.

"Fellow Daoists, stop chasing. I advise you to change direction immediately, or don't blame me," Lü Yang transmitted his voice.

Su Sui knew what he meant. They were being hunted down, and if that person only needed to do something slightly to stop them, the consequences would be unbearable for the three of them.

Just as Su Sui was about to tell his two junior sisters to move to another location, Lu Xiu suddenly called out to the person in front, "Is this Uncle-Master Lü Yang? We are Shen Ge's disciples. Please, Uncle-Master, save us!"

Years ago, Lu Xiu was Shen Ge's maid. She had met Lü Yang a few times and had a good impression of her master, her good friend.

Sure enough, the person in front slowed down. After the three of them got closer, Lü Yang carefully examined them and, after searching his memory, finally managed to match the appearances of two of them.

The one with the chilling aura was Shen Ge's disciple whom she had raised since childhood. He had heard Shen Ge mention her a few times and had also seen some videos of her when she was a child.

The woman with the slightly round face was the maid Shen Ge had rescued before. At that time, she seemed to be only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. Unexpectedly, she had already become Nascent Soul when they met again. This was truly a bit frustrating.

As for the last one, Lü Yang didn't recognize him, but he knew who it was. On the way here, he had heard Zhang Lingyu mention that his daughter had become Shen Ge's disciple.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle," Lu Xiu said, leading the other two men in a greeting.

"Alright, time is of the essence. We can talk about anything on the way. Now, follow me."

In the blink of an eye, several figures transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the horizon.

"No, what happened to the three of you? You're being chased! Where are your Spirit Moon Sect's seniors? Where's Shen Ge?"

Lu Xiu felt her senior sister Su Sui's gaze. She knew what her senior sister meant, so she spoke up and explained some things.

"I see." Lü Yang nodded slightly, and said with some emotion, "Brother Shen's experiences are truly rich and varied."

"Who is chasing you? What faction are they from? How many people are there?" Lü Yang pressed on, as this was the most pressing matter at hand.

"They are from the Ten Thousand Insect Valley, eight people in total, five in the Nascent Soul Late Stage and three in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and they also have a large swarm of insects," Lu Xiu replied.

"People from the Ten Thousand Insect Valley?" Lü Yang pondered for a moment. He knew about the Ten Thousand Insect Valley. He had once traded a poisonous insect with the people of the Ten Thousand Insect Valley in order to kill some Devil Cultivator. He still remembered the scene of those Devil Cultivator being turned into pus after touching the poisonous insect. The toxicity was simply domineering. It could melt a Golden Core cultivator into pus without giving them any time to react.

"Looks like they're going to be tough to deal with." Lü Yang shook his head, then changed direction. He had originally planned to lure these people to the Withered Wood, but now it seemed that guy might not be able to handle them and he would have to find someone else.

Perfect timing! Thousand-Eyed Bodhi is an expert at dealing with insects, so this will be a good opportunity to give him some fun.

After all, that guy loves bugs the most, so he should be secretly happy to have been given so many bugs this time, even if it's not considered a reward.

Having made up their minds, the group immediately sped up their pace.

During this time, Lü Yang activated his True Sun Fire and said, "There is a strange insect called the Soul-Chasing Insect in the Ten Thousand Insect Valley. That thing is extremely sensitive to scent. The reason you haven't been able to get rid of them for so long is because of this insect. In a moment, I will use the True Sun Fire to cover up a certain scent on your bodies. Although it will be a bit burning, please bear with it."

"Master Uncle, thank you for your help." Lu Xiu thanked him, then asked with some concern, "But will Junior Sister be alright after coming into contact with your True Sun Fire?"

"There will definitely be some impact, but there's nothing we can do. We can only think of another way to treat her injury once she's safe."
