After assigning the tasks, Elder Huayue decisively took flight, transforming into a streak of light and chasing after Su Chun's escape route.
As for Su Chun, she knew that the demonic cultivators would react immediately, so she changed her clothes while fleeing, switching back to casual clothes and no longer wearing the Xuan Yue Sect disciple's robes.
She didn't keep running away. Instead, when she passed a lake, she went straight in and used multiple methods to isolate herself from the aura.
With the flying speed of a Core Formation cultivator, there's no way she could escape. The smartest thing to do is to find a place to hide.
Sure enough, not long after, the Hehuan Sect experts who had followed Su Chun's lingering aura all stopped above the lake.
"Elder, Su Huaimeng's aura disappeared here."
Several elders of the Hehuan Sect used their divine sense to scan the area.
After searching back and forth several times, Elder Huayue and the others exchanged glances, turned their gaze to the lake below, and then simultaneously released their divine senses to search deep into the lake.
Fortunately, Su Chun possessed a Divine Protection Talisman that could block the divine sense of cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.
Su Chun didn't dare to breathe loudly. She could clearly feel several powerful divine senses sweeping over her.
"No? This person is definitely not Su Huaimeng; someone must be impersonating her."
Elder Huayue's expression turned serious.
"It's definitely not Su Huaimeng. That girl doesn't have that ability. Let's go back first, lest something else happens over there. If the ancestors blame us, we can't bear the consequences."
Since they can't find her or track her scent, it's equivalent to completely losing control over Su Chun, so there's no point in continuing the search.
"Okay, let's go back first."
As they spoke, the group left the area together.
Su Chun heard their conversation clearly. After confirming that they had flown away, Su Chun prepared to come out of the lake.
But as she prepared to remove the spell that concealed her aura, a dangerous aura descended from the sky, instantly freezing her in place.
Because those Core Formation cultivators from the Hehuan Sect suddenly returned.
"Is this a trick? That makes sense. Core Formation cultivators can communicate using their divine sense, why do they need to shout like that? Luckily, I didn't go out immediately."
Su Chun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect did not stop there, but instead unleashed a barrage of attacks on the lake.
Elder Huayue raised his hand and grabbed at the lake. The water in the lake was drawn together by a force and gradually gathered into a huge water sphere.
The woman was trying to drain the lake in search of Su Chun's whereabouts.
It's not that they suspect Su Chun is hiding in the lake, but rather that Su Chun's disappearance was too sudden. Most likely, she's hiding, and less likely, she used some powerful magic weapon to completely conceal her presence.
"What? Does this mean they've identified me as being in the lake? Are they going to drain the lake to find me?"
Su Chun felt the lake water being slowly drained away, and her expression grew increasingly grim.
Finally, the lake was drained, turning into a giant water sphere that floated in the air.
The former lake has turned into a large pit, with a large number of fish jumping on the mud because they have lost water.
The elders of the Hehuan Sect once again carefully used their divine senses to investigate, leaving no suspicious point unchecked.
Unfortunately, they still couldn't find Su Chun.
"Elder, there is no such person. It seems that the person impersonating Su Huaimeng has already escaped."
Elder Huayue's face was extremely grim. She had a bad feeling that the person who escaped had probably taken some great treasure from Lingyuan Blessed Land.
"Hmph! Go back and investigate this thoroughly to see what's going on."
Elder Huayue casually waved his hand, dispelling the spell, and the water sphere immediately fell down.
The water sphere crashed into the lake like a giant rock, crushing the fish in the lake into a bloody mist under the immense pressure.
Su Chun herself was also greatly shocked and was almost crushed to death by the water ball. Her blood surged and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Fortunately, the lake was already stained red with the blood of the fish, so the blood that spilled from Su Chun's mouth went unnoticed.
Hua Yue and the others have truly left this time, and they haven't returned.
But Su Chun still didn't leave, remaining in the water for nearly three hours before finally surfacing, dragging her heavily injured body, and fleeing into the distance.
"Damn it, I finally broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and before I even had a chance to experience it, I was almost crushed to death by this woman's casual strike. I need to find a place to heal quickly; it will probably take me another ten days to half a month to recover."
Let's take another look at Hua Yue and the others who have returned to Lingyuan Blessed Land.
They soon learned that a great treasure had recently appeared in Lingyuan Blessed Land, but it had suddenly disappeared.
Then, recalling the person who impersonated Su Huaimeng and left Lingyuan Blessed Land, Hua Yue and the others immediately connected the two.
Fortunately, these Nascent Soul elders did not blame them, after all, who would have thought that there were outsiders in this Lingyuan Blessed Land?
"What? There are outsiders inside Lingyuan Blessed Land?"
Upon receiving this news, Lou Miaoyin frowned, then seemed to have thought of something and quickly notified the sect to have someone check Ding Yuqin's soul fire.
To Lou Miaoyin's dismay, Ding Yuqin's soul fire, which had been extinguished, flared up again, even more intensely than before, indicating that Ding Yuqin was still alive.
She quickly informed the higher-ups of the Hehuan Sect of this news.
"Ding Yuqin? Isn't that the one who escaped from me back then, the one at the peak of the Core Formation stage?"
A man from the Hehuan Sect, dressed in red brocade robes and with delicate, feminine features, asked a question with some surprise.
"Yes, Senior Brother Qianqing, I originally intended to give her to you for your stamina cultivation, but I didn't expect her to have so many ways to protect herself that she escaped. Then, six years ago, she suddenly possessed the body of a girl named Su Chun and returned to the Xuan Yue Sect. In order to cut off Qu Xinyao's wings, I took advantage of the opening of the Lingyuan Blessed Land and attacked her just before it was about to close, leaving her in the Lingyuan Blessed Land to fend for herself..."
Lou Miaoyin gave an explanation.
"I see. She's incredibly lucky. Although she escaped, she was severely injured. I didn't expect her to be able to possess my body and desire my senior sister. It seems that the person who impersonated Su Huaimeng is this Su Chun."
The Fairy of Desire fell into deep thought.
"Let's ignore her for now; she's no threat. Our priority is to take complete control of Lingyuan Blessed Land."
Now that the cultivation world in Yue Kingdom is under the control of the demonic path, Su Chun has no future in Yue Kingdom.
As for Su Chun, after leaving the Lingyuan Mountains, Su Chun found an inconspicuous deserted mountain to hide in.
As soon as she entered, Su Chun coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Elder Huayue's attack nearly cost her her life.
She quickly sat down to meditate and regulate her breathing, then she had to leave the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom.
She learned from Su Huaimeng's memories that two of the seven factions in Yue Kingdom rebelled, while the other five fled to the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.
The Tiannan Continent is currently controlled by four major factions: the Demonic Path, the Righteous Path, the Heavenly Path Alliance, and the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, forming a four-way balance of power.
The righteous and the demonic paths are enemies of each other, while the Nine Kingdoms Alliance mainly deals with external enemies, because there is a Mulan Grassland next to the Tiannan Continent, and the Mulan Grassland has always wanted to seize the territory of the Tiannan Continent.
Therefore, the safest place right now should be the Heavenly Alliance.
The Heavenly Alliance is far removed from conflict and borders the Boundless Sea, but it is the weakest in overall strength, and both the righteous and demonic paths want to annex it.
Chapter 44 First Arrival in the Stream Kingdom
Two weeks later...
While Su Chun was hiding in the desolate mountains to heal her injuries, she saw a fiery red sword aura slice through a mountainside, creating a rectangular opening, as easily as cutting tofu.
"Alas... I've finally recovered, but where should I go next? I definitely can't go back to the Xuan Yue Sect. Now that the Yue Kingdom has been occupied by the demonic path, and Lou Miaoyin wants to kill me, I'm afraid there's no place for me in the Yue Kingdom anymore."
"Forget it, let's go home first, see how things are there, and then make a decision."
Su Chun strolled out of the cave and looked into the distance, muttering to herself.
After thinking for a while, she decided to go back to Qingniu Town first.
She found a nearby ordinary town, changed into a blue dress, and then rode her magical artifact to fly towards Qingniu Town.
Along the way, the towns of ordinary people were not greatly affected by the invasion of the demonic path, as the struggles of the cultivation world never affected ordinary people.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Su Chun's flight speed was many times faster than that of the Qi Refining stage.
The Lingyuan Mountains are located in Cangzhou, which is quite close to Jingzhou, where Qingniu Town is located. So Su Chun only took one day to return to Qingniu Town.
Six years have passed. Su Chun was only twelve years old when she left home, and now she is eighteen years old and has become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator at seventeen or eighteen years old is quite fast in the cultivation world.
Su Chun felt like she was returning home in glory.
However, upon returning to the village, Su Chun discovered that her old, dilapidated courtyard had been transformed into a grand mansion.
It is evident that the jewelry left behind by Su Chun was later discovered by her family and then sold for a large sum of money.
Su Chun used her divine sense to scan the situation at home from a distance. She saw her parents, as well as her two younger brothers and sister.
Seeing that life at home was countless times better than before, Su Chun finally felt completely relieved.
"Ah! That's enough. It's better not to meet. After all, I'm in a lot of trouble right now. If it affects my family, that would be bad."
Su Chun watched her home from afar for nearly half an hour before setting off for Yuanwu Kingdom, which was next to Yue Kingdom, and then from Yuanwu Kingdom she would enter the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
The reason for choosing the Heavenly Alliance was a decision made after careful consideration.
First of all, Su Chun is not a warmonger; he only wants to cultivate diligently and strive to one day form the Core Formation or even the Nascent Soul.
The righteous and demonic paths have been at war with each other for a long time, making it a place of great trouble. The Nine Kingdoms Alliance also faces enemies from outside the Tiannan Continent, which is quite troublesome.
Although the Heavenly Alliance is coveted by both the righteous and demonic paths, it is precisely because of this that it is the safest.
However, given Su Chun's current cultivation level, finding a sect or force within the Heavenly Dao Alliance should be quite easy.
Leaving home again, Su Chun didn't experience much emotional fluctuation; all she felt was longing for the future.
A few days later, at the Heavenly Alliance, in the Xi Kingdom.
A figure dressed in a light blue dress descended from the sky and landed outside a town in the Xi Kingdom.
"Ah! We've finally entered the territory of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Let's go into the city and learn about the situation of the Heavenly Dao Alliance."
Ding Yuqin had never been to the Heavenly Alliance and knew nothing about it, so Su Chun also knew nothing about this place.
Now, Su Chun has grown into a graceful young woman. With her entry into the Foundation Establishment stage, her temperament has become extraordinary. Naturally, her entry into the mortal city has attracted the attention of passersby.
Su Chun still lacks awareness of her own charm.
Feeling the gazes of passersby in the city, Su Chun couldn't help but touch her face.
