The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 444 Clan Chief Huo's Pursuit!

That would be beyond their ability to withstand.

Song Wanning also knew the seriousness of the situation and quickened her pace of escape.

It wasn't until much later that they found a place to rest for a while.

Baili Shang emptied the contents of his storage ring and gave most of the supplies to Song Wanning.

Then he took out a jade slip.

The jade slip is a communication jade slip of the Huo family, on which disciples can communicate freely.

The bounty posters for the two were displayed prominently on a scrolling screen, visible to anyone who opened the jade slip.

The two men's expressions hardened. They looked at the messages sent by everyone, checked them again, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they confirmed that the scarred man had not yet reported their location.

"This jade slip can help us avoid some trouble, but I'm worried that if the scarred man dies, it will alert Chief Huo to come and hunt him down personally."

Chief Huo must hate them deeply, and once he gets the news, he will definitely come to hunt them down, at which point they will be in danger.

Baili Shang held the jade slip, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Song Wanning frowned. "Right now, we'd better get to the Demon God's Tomb as soon as possible to increase our strength."

Only in this way will they have a greater chance of dealing with Chief Huo.

"Ah."

Baili Shang nodded, and after resting for a while, the two set off again under the cover of night.

……

Huo family.

Chief Huo is dealing with a very troublesome matter. It started when a disciple of the Huo family got into a conflict with a disciple of the Yun family and even killed him.

Unfortunately, that person was a direct descendant of the Yun family, and was seen by many eyewitnesses, which led to the exposure of the matter.

Now the Yun family is demanding an explanation from them, which is giving him a headache.

He absolutely had to protect his disciple, otherwise word would spread that the Huo family was afraid of the Yun family...

The Huo family disciples would also harbor resentment, feeling that he was useless as the clan leader.

But how to protect him is another problem, since he's unwilling to pay a large amount of compensation.

So things came to a standstill for the time being.

A few days ago, he originally planned to personally hunt down Song Wanning and the others, but it was only because of the visit of the Yun family elders that he had to issue a bounty and let his disciples handle the matter.

There is still no news of the two, and no one knows where they have gone.

Just then, a disciple knocked on the door, his tone quite urgent.

"Chieftain, Chieftain, something terrible has happened!"

"What happened?"

Chief Huo, with a stern face, waved his hand and the gate opened silently.

The disciple rushed in immediately, shouting, "It's—it's Elder Huo Yuan! He—he's fallen!"

"What? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Chief Huo stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with surprise.

How could he suddenly fall from grace?

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and his heart sank.

Could Huo Yuan have gone to hunt down Song Wanning and the others?
"This disciple is not mistaken. Elder Huo Yuan just returned yesterday. Upon hearing that someone had injured the young master, he left without stopping. However, when I was cleaning the ancestral hall today, I was shocked to find that the elder's soul lamp had been extinguished..."

He doesn't reply to messages I send him.

The disciple's eyes were filled with anxiety. If he had really perished, it would have been a great loss to the Huo family, since Elder Huo Yuan was likely to advance to the Integration Stage and become a pillar of the Huo family.

"Damn it!" What else could Chief Huo not understand after hearing this?

He shattered all the furniture in the room with a single palm strike, his eyes filled with ferocity.

"How dare you kill an elder of my clan! I will make sure you never leave alive!"

After saying that, he flashed and disappeared from the room.

Upon seeing this, the disciple left the house and quickly spread the news throughout the entire Huo family, including Huo family members living outside the family.

"Hiss, the clan leader has repeatedly emphasized that we only need to find out their location and must not take action ourselves. Why did Elder Huo Yuan go by himself?"

"Who would have thought that the other party could even kill Elder Huo Yuan?"

"Too arrogant! He's just a peasant from the Four Regions, yet he dares to kill a member of my Huo family!"

"Everyone, follow me! We must find them and kill them all! Avenge Elder Huo Yuan!!"

"Avenge Elder Huo Yuan!!"

……

The Huo family patriarch was unaware of the reactions of the Huo family disciples. Relying on the location provided by the communication jade slip, he suddenly appeared in a mountain cave.

His divine sense quickly spread out, but he couldn't find Song Wanning and the other person, nor could he see Huo Yuan's corpse, and he didn't even find any signs of a fight.

This is not the primary crime scene.

Chief Huo sneered, "Trying to escape? Ha!"

He put the jade slip away and immediately gave chase in the possible direction.

Meanwhile, Song Wanning and her companion had already pushed the speed of their flying magic weapon to its limit, but it still wasn't enough.

Initially, they intended to use the jade slip as a tool to observe the Huo family, but then they realized that Huo Yuan's death would soon be discovered, and the jade slip would become their death warrant.

Even if they discarded the jade slip, they were still too close to them. Given Chief Huo's speed, he would surely discover them very soon.

Baili Shang looked solemn. They were almost at the Demon God's Tomb, and they couldn't afford to fail at this crucial moment.

He continuously threw top-grade spirit stones into the flying magic weapon, maintaining its fastest speed to fly forward.

Fortunately, Chief Huo was unable to pinpoint their exact direction, which bought them considerable time to escape.

It wasn't until three days later that the two were stopped by Chief Huo.

"You've made me look so hard to find you."

The anger in Chief Huo's heart reignited the moment he saw the two. With both old and new grudges, these two had no choice but to die.

"Why is Chief Huo dragging us ordinary people into this instead of going to catch the culprit?"

Song Wanning glanced at Baili Shang, ready to run away at any moment.

The Demon God's Tomb is very close. As long as they hold out until they reach it, the restrictions alone will be enough to keep Chief Huo out, and then they will be safe.

Baili Shang silently returned a glance. Although the two had only known each other for a short time, there was an unspoken understanding between them.

They can both understand what the other person means.

Clan Chief Huo ignored their subtle sparring and coldly asked, "Where is that scoundrel Huo Jinchuan hiding? If you can tell me, I can leave you with a whole corpse."

Although he didn't believe it at first, Chief Huo still suspected that the two were colluding with Huo Jinchuan.

Upon hearing this, Song Wanning frowned. Since she wasn't in the secret realm, she couldn't monitor the intruders' situation in real time.

Otherwise, this would be a good opportunity to drag Huo Jinchuan down with him.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, the Three Lives Mirror stirred.

When Song Wanning looked at it, she found it was a map with three red dots on it.

One is in the Eastern Region, one is in the Central Region, and the other is even in the territory of the Demon Clan.

Song Wanning's heart sank. Xiao Heyun was dead. She thought there were only two invaders left, but she didn't expect there to be one survivor among the demons!
