Chapter 973 Escape to the Suburbs
Chapter 973 Escape to the Suburbs
Naturally, Lu Chen listened to every word of the conversation between the few people.
Those arrogant words, those contemptuous tone, every word was like an icy arrow shot at him.
However, Lu Chen knew in his heart that this was not the time to act on impulse.
With the opponent's strength in the late Earthly Immortal Realm, he dared to openly insult a strong man in the early Profound Immortal Realm. There must be an extremely powerful force supporting him behind the scenes.
This not only made Lu Chen feel difficult, but also made him more cautious.
"It seems that these people are not ordinary." Lu Chen thought to himself, "If I easily conflict with them, I'm afraid it will cause greater trouble."
At this moment, the woman in his arms trembled slightly, obviously she also felt the current tense atmosphere.
Lu Chen patted her back gently, giving her a little comfort.
Time seemed to stand still, and the air around became extremely heavy.
Suddenly, Lu Chen's eyes focused, as if he had made some decision.
Then, without any hesitation, Lu Chen said nothing, and disappeared from the spot with the woman in his arms.
His movements were so fast that the four people only saw a blurry afterimage and then lost their target.
"Damn it, the old guy blames you. If it weren't for you being so nagging, how would they have had the chance to escape?"
Upon seeing this, the young monk in white became furious. He turned to look at one of the old men and roared with spit flying.
"Go after him, why are you still standing there? You must find him for me no matter what!"
Another young monk in a grey robe gave the order in a hasty voice, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
As the young monks were giving orders, the old man who was being blamed had a gloomy expression.
At this time, another old man saw what was happening in front of him, his eyes fixed, and he quickly reached his hand into his wide sleeves.
After a brief exploration, he quickly took out an exquisite flying magic weapon.
This magic weapon shines with strange light, as if it contains endless mysteries and power.
Its surface is covered with a faint halo, making the entire magic weapon look like a mysterious relic from ancient times.
The halo flows slowly, sometimes appearing a faint blue, sometimes turning into lavender, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere that makes people fall in love with it.
Then, the old man began to quickly make hand gestures with his hands, and rays of spiritual light flew out from his fingertips and sank into the flying magic weapon.
As the magic formula was continuously injected, the flying magic weapon began to vibrate slightly and rose into the sky at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, a low humming sound was heard.
However, the old man's actions did not stop because the flying magic weapon took off.
He reached into his arms again and this time took out a small and exquisite tracking charm.
This tracking talisman has complex and delicate rune patterns drawn on it, and it is obvious that it is not an ordinary tracking talisman.
The old man tapped the tracking charm with his finger and whispered an obscure spell.
In an instant, the tracking symbol seemed to be ignited, emitting a dazzling light.
The light pointed straight to the direction where Lu Chen disappeared, like a bright lamp illuminating the dark road ahead.
A gleam of brilliance flashed in the old man's eyes, and he seemed to have locked onto the target's location.
"Don't worry, sir. It won't be that easy for them to escape."
The old man smiled coldly, then called on a few people to board the flying magic weapon.
Immediately afterwards, the flying magic weapon turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the direction where Lu Chen left.
All this happened in just a few breaths.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the monks who were watching from all sides left one after another.
About hundreds of breaths later, after continuous teleportation, Lu Chen already appeared several miles north of the Never-Setting Sun Immortal City.
His original intention was to take the woman in his arms to a safe place.
Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. Lu Chen saw that she was seriously injured and had to find a place to recuperate as soon as possible, otherwise it would be easy to leave a root of illness.
There was no other choice, so Lu Chen had to take her with him and land in a dense forest.
The environment here is quiet and peaceful, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Lu Chen carefully put down the woman in his arms, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming with his spiritual sense that there were no other cultivators around.
"Are you okay?" Lu Chen asked in a low voice, looking at the woman with concern.
Yunxi nodded when she heard this, with a complicated look in her eyes, because from childhood to adulthood, no man had ever been so close to her.
For a moment, her heart was beating like a deer, and she didn't know what to do.
After a moment's pause, he said gratefully:
"Thank you...if it weren't for you, I might have died."
Seeing this, Lu Chen shook his head slightly and said:
"Now is not the time to talk about this. You should calm down first. I will protect you. We must find a safer place as soon as possible."
After saying this, he once again took a look at his surroundings, thinking about his next plan of action.
He knew that although he had temporarily escaped from the pursuers, it did not mean that the danger was over. Those people might not give up easily and would catch up with him soon.
In order to ensure the woman's safety, Lu Chen looked solemn and raised his arm without hesitation.
In an instant, a strange and mysterious light appeared in his palm, which was as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky.
The next moment, a jaw-dropping scene occurred! Lu Chen threw out dozens of small and exquisite formation flags at lightning speed, like a fairy scattering flowers.
These flags drew graceful arcs in the air and landed accurately around the woman.
The moment the flag touched the ground, it was as if a fuse had been lit, instantly emitting bursts of dazzling light.
These spiritual lights intertwined and merged with each other, forming a huge translucent energy shield in the blink of an eye.
This energy shield was like an indestructible shield, protecting the woman tightly inside.
Yunxi, who was standing by, saw this scene and knew that time was running out, so she didn't dare to delay even a bit.
She immediately closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and began to use all her practiced skills to heal her injuries.
As the technique was practiced, the immortal energy around her quickly gathered towards her, and circles of soft light gradually emerged around her body.
These rays are as warm and gentle as the spring sun and seem to be full of magical healing powers.
They slowly seeped into Yunxi's body like a trickle of water, nourishing and repairing her injured meridians and internal organs.
However, suddenly, without any warning, a streak of light swooped down from the sky like a meteor.
The speed of this stream of light was so fast that people had no time to react.
Then, it suddenly stopped when it was above Lu Chen's head, and turned into a talisman in an instant.
The talisman just floated there in mid-air, emitting a faint but extremely firm light.
Lu Chen took a closer look and his heart sank suddenly, because he recognized at a glance that this talisman was actually a tracking talisman.
There is no doubt that his whereabouts have been exposed at this moment, and he has been firmly locked onto by the other party.
Almost at the same moment, a flying magic weapon carrying four people hurriedly arrived. With their sharp eyes, they quickly locked onto Lu Chen's position.
Immediately afterwards, the four figures jumped off the flying magic weapons one after another and landed steadily not far from Lu Chen, looking at him with great pride.
The young monk in white looked at Lu Chen and the woman who was healing, then sneered:
"Boy, your speed is pretty good, but do you think you can escape?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately rolled his eyes at the other person, without any fear on his face.
I thought to myself: Before, there were too many people in the fairy city, so it was difficult for me to take action. Now we are in the wilderness, I don’t care about your background, I will kill you first.
Even if those two old men have the cultivation base of the early stage of Xuanxian Realm, with my immortal essence comparable to that of the early stage of Xuanxian Realm, I can still fight them.
"Boy, what are you laughing at? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Seeing Lu Chen's fearless look, the gray-robed monk immediately scolded him in a low voice...
