As for why we didn't venture deep into the Fengshen Mountains in one go, it's mainly because the further we went, the more dangerous it became.

They not only have to face the pursuit of evil cultivators, but also deal with the dangers of the Wind God Mountain Range itself, such as the hunting mystical beasts.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, I don't want to go any further to avoid encountering powerful and difficult-to-handle mythical beasts.

But now that those evil cultivators are closing in, there's no other choice but to risk going deeper...

Upon hearing Si Ruyin's words, the group all stood up and followed her into the depths of the Fengshen Mountain Range.

Taking advantage of the twilight, the group of five concealed their tracks and quickly traversed the sea of ​​trees.

At first, everything went smoothly. Just like before, they managed to escape before the evil cultivators could catch up.

However, sometimes when people are down on their luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems...

The five concealed their tracks and headed deeper into the sea of ​​trees.

Suddenly, a chilling hissing sound came from a nearby tree.

Qianrou, who was at the back of the group, seemed to have seen something, and her expression suddenly changed.

She hurriedly shouted to Si Ruyin, who was clearing the way ahead.

"Be careful, senior sister!"

At the very moment she spoke, Si Ruyin, who had already sensed the danger, immediately activated her defensive magic weapon.

A golden light curtain instantly rose around him.

Almost at the same time, a thick, long shadow slammed heavily onto it.

With a loud bang, Si Ruyin, who was enveloped in golden light, was sent flying.

"Sister Ruyin!"

This sudden turn of events startled the others.

When they looked closely, their faces turned pale.

"Damn it, I actually ran into something like this..."

What came into view was a large, thick, brown snake, its tongue flicking menacingly at them.

It was a hundred feet long, and it coiled around the nearby trees.

Because of their dark scales, they almost blend into the tree to which they are attached, making them difficult to see.

The profound energy emanating from him was clearly at the peak of the Life and Death Realm of a human cultivator!

Clearly, they had accidentally wandered into each other's territory.

The current situation is undoubtedly treating them as prey.

Si Ruyin reacted the fastest and hurriedly shouted to the others.

"Don't stand there, I'll hold it off, you guys get out of here!"

After all, among those present, she had the highest cultivation level and possessed the highest-grade magic weapon.

Apart from her, no one could stop this mystical beast.

As soon as she finished speaking, golden light burst forth from her body, coiling around the giant snake in front of her.

The large brown snake was equally resolute, its massive tail lashing out like a whip.

In an instant, a fierce battle broke out between the person and the snake on the scene.

Seeing this, Qianrou and the others knew they couldn't help much, so they all obediently fled deeper into the area.

……

Dozens of miles behind them were Ascension Sect cultivators searching for their whereabouts.

They also noticed the strange phenomenon in the distance and realized that someone must be fighting with the mystical beast.

Immediately, one of the elders of the Ascension Sect shouted at the people searching around them.

"Come with me, those little guys might have run into a mystical beast!"

While it cannot be 100% certain, the possibility is not small in the remote Fengshen Mountains.

Immediately, the group of six changed direction and sped towards the location where the Xuan Qi fluctuations had appeared.

The elder of the Ascension Sect was particularly clever; he sped up and led the two of them directly around the location where the battle had broken out.

It completely surrounded the surrounding area from both the front and back.

In this way, we can minimize the chances of any fish slipping through the net.

This method proved to be effective...

Just then, Si Ruyin was preparing to escape the attack of the brown snake and reunite with Qian Rou and the others ahead.

However, they discovered that they hadn't gone very far before turning back the way they came.

Seeing this, Si Ruyin frowned and asked.

"Xiaorou, why are you back?"

At this moment, Qianrou pointed behind her with a grim expression.

"Senior sister, it seems we're... surrounded."

Just as she said, Si Ruyin glanced around.

They then discovered that several cultivators at the Life and Death Realm, led by an extraordinary expert, had surrounded them.

These weren't even ordinary extraordinary cultivators; they were high-level extraordinary powerhouses who completely crushed them!

The large brown snake that had attacked them seemed to have sensed the danger as well.

It immediately suppressed its aggressive intent and tried to slink away, but unfortunately...

"Hmph, did I give you permission to move?"

An elder of the Ascension Sect, who had come from the depths of the forest, let out a soft hum.

Then he raised his hand, and several black flying swords suddenly shot out from the surrounding area, leaving black streaks in the air.

In an instant, the brown serpent, whose strength was comparable to the peak of the Life and Death Realm, was directly cut into several pieces by the sharp blade...

The elder of the Ascension Sect, who had accomplished all of this, was completely unconcerned, as if he had just swatted an ant.

His gaze was now fixed on Si Ruyin and the others, and he counted them.

"One, two... five, not bad, not bad, it seems they're all here."

Beneath the mask on his face, a slight smirk played on his lips as he spoke with a mocking tone.

"You little girls, aren't you pretty good runners? Keep running!"

At this moment, Si Ruyin and the others were surrounded by five cultivators at the Life and Death Realm and one extraordinary cultivator, so they were indeed doomed to not be able to escape.

In an instant, Qian Rou and the others instinctively moved closer to Si Ruyin.

Despite being on the brink of life and death, Si Ruyin remained calm and spoke coldly to the elder of the Ascension Sect in front of her.

"I don't care who you are. If you dare to kill us, the Ancient Holy Land will definitely investigate to the end and fight to the death."

Because they knew very little, Si Ruyin and the others didn't even know that these people in front of them were members of the Ascension Sect.

They assumed it was some evil cultivation group in the vicinity, and that they wanted to use the ancient holy land to suppress it.

Unfortunately, this naturally won't have any effect.

The elder of the Ascension Sect sneered, "A fight to the death? How laughable! I'm afraid you won't have the chance to see that!"

After saying that, he gave a cold laugh to the people around him.

"Prepare to take them down."

"These few beauties, if we bring them back, could certainly help relieve everyone's boredom!"

Upon hearing this, several cultivators from the Ascension Sect around him also revealed wicked smiles.

"Thank you so much, Elder!"

Seeing this, Si Ruyin and the others looked grim.

At this moment, the best outcome for them is probably to commit suicide on the spot.

Therefore, Si Ruyin clenched her fists, her heart heavy.

"Junior brother, Master... I'm sorry."

As she spoke, she was already preparing to take action.

But the elder of the Ascension Sect on the other side clearly noticed this and immediately shouted.

"They're trying to commit suicide! Stop them!"

Upon hearing this, the group immediately prepared to attack.

Just then, a sharp shout came from nearby.

"So many high-level cultivators bullying a few girls, don't they feel ashamed?"

Upon hearing this mocking voice, the elder of the Ascension Sect immediately looked in the direction of the sound and said sternly.

"Who goes there? How dare you spout such nonsense!"

"Who am I? You are not worthy to know."

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Everyone looked over, and Si Ruyin and Qian Rou's eyes lit up when they saw the newcomer.

"Junior brother?!"
