Chapter 1329: A Chance Encounter

After the nine people reached an agreement, they immediately scattered in all directions and began to search.

Inside the crevice.

Biyan'er carefully concealed her aura and looked toward the outside through the crevice.

The nine people were constantly searching within this area.

They were searching too thoroughly.

To call it digging three feet into the ground was not an exaggeration at all; it was even a bit of an understatement.

Wherever they passed, trees were snapped, weeds were reduced to ash, and even the earth was carved into gullies several zhang deep.

After just a short moment of searching, large swaths of the mountain forest had collapsed, and the ground level had dropped by several zhang.

The nine people split into nine directions, their search range constantly expanding outward.

The direction one of them was searching in happened to point toward the crevice where she was hiding.

Seeing this.

Biyan'er could not help but knit her smooth brows.

Seeing that person getting closer and closer to the crevice where she was located, her brows tightened continuously, and her heartbeat almost stopped.

Finally, the scene she least wanted to see appeared after all.

"Huh?"

Just when that person was about thirty zhang away from the crevice, they finally discovered this crack.

They let out a sound of surprise and suspicion, frowning as they looked toward the crevice.

Inside the dark crevice, Biyan'er hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

"Don't come over, please don't come over!"

She prayed continuously in her heart.

However...

Reality rarely follows one's wishes.

That person did not ignore this crevice because of her prayers.

After sizing up the crevice for a moment, they lifted their foot and approached it.

Seeing this, Biyan'er sighed inwardly.

With a flip of her palm, a bead appeared in the center of her hand.

This bead was a gift from Tianyu; its power was not trivial, enough to threaten the life of a Dongxu Initial Stage Cultivator.

Watching that figure walk closer and closer, Biyan'er gripped the bead in her hand tighter and tighter.

Finally.

That person walked to the front of the crevice and lifted a foot, preparing to step inside.

Seeing that things had finally developed to an irredeemable point, the hesitation on Biyan'er's face instantly turned into a fierce expression.

She prepared to throw the bead in her hand.

This bead was her final resort.

If she were willing, she could completely kill the person before her with this bead, but afterward...

She would have no strength left to resist and would fall into the hands of the others.

This was not the result she wanted.

Therefore...

This bead should be used to kill the enemy, but even more so, it should be used for her own suicide.

She wanted to slay this person while simultaneously perishing in the same strike.

Just as she wore a look of determination and was about to throw the bead.

An arm suddenly reached out from behind her and tightly wrapped around her waist.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Before she could even react, she was pulled back rapidly by that arm.

The next moment.

She came to her senses.

Subconsciously, she was about to activate the bead in her hand to perish together with the person in the shadows.

Just then, the person behind her suddenly leaned to her ear, "Fairy, do not panic, it is I, Tianyu."

This voice, accompanied by a warm breath, traveled into her ear.

Hearing this familiar voice, her heart stirred, and she immediately withdrew the power she was using to trigger the bead.

She let Tianyu carry her as they fled toward the depths of the crevice.

Not long after.

The two arrived at the end of the crevice.

The crevice was narrow at the very outside, spacious in the middle, and gradually narrowed from the middle to the depths.

At the very deepest point, it could barely squeeze in two people.

At this moment, the two were pressed tightly together.

What made Biyan'er even more bashful was that Tianyu's clothes were currently in tatters.

His trousers were fine, at least they were still functional.

The clothing on his upper body was almost completely destroyed, with only a few strips of cloth hanging on him.

She could even clearly feel the other's body heat.

Biyan'er knew Tianyu had done this to save her, so she did not get angry and sent a voice transmission to Wang Jianqiang, "Daoist Friend Tianyu, why are you here?"

Wang Jianqiang's voice was grave as he sent a voice transmission in reply, "Not long after Fairy entered the water pool, violent power fluctuations suddenly appeared within it, attracting many powerful experts."

"The moment the power fluctuations appeared in the water pool, Daoist Friend Ye judged that danger would descend and told me to flee with him."

"I was worried that Fairy might meet with an accident, so I did not leave; when Daoist Friend Ye saw that I insisted on staying, he fled on his own."

"Afterward, some Cultivators rushed to the edge of the water pool. I originally did not want to let them approach the pool, but those people were too strong. I had no power to resist them at all and was wounded by just a single strike."

"Fortunately, those Cultivators were wary of one another and none wanted to move far from the water pool, which is how I managed to escape."

"Since then, I have been unable to stop worrying about Fairy, so I have been lingering in the surrounding area."

"Not long ago, I suddenly ran into the person who had wounded me at the edge of the water pool. To avoid him, I hid in this crevice. I never expected it to be such a coincidence that I would run into you, Fairy."

"I was just worrying about Fairy's situation; it is good that you are safe."

Hearing the words from Tianyu that contained a clear sense of joy, a look of being moved flashed across Biyan'er's face.

Immediately following, her brows furrowed once more.

Ye Lingyun fled in advance?

Although she knew very well that Ye Lingyun staying behind would not be of any help and would instead become a burden, his act of fleeing in advance was rational and correct.

But for some reason, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

Yet this Tianyu, whom she had only just met, was so loyal and righteous...

Just at this moment.

A burst of footsteps suddenly entered her ears. Her expression startled, and she immediately came back to her senses, "That person has come in; we will be discovered by him sooner or later."

"I have not yet used the Disposable Magic Treasure you gave me. With this treasure, we can kill this person."

"However, I am already at the end of my rope and have not a shred of power left. From here on, if we want to escape, we must rely on you."

Originally, Biyan'er had already lost hope of escaping.

But the appearance of Tianyu had brought her a glimmer of hope once again.

It was true that Tianyu only had the cultivation of the Dongxu Initial Stage, but these few pursuers were all heavily wounded, with their combat strength remaining at only about fifty percent.

In front of these people, although Tianyu's hope of escaping was small, it was not entirely without a chance.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, one can try!

"Bi Xianzi, do not be impulsive."

"We do not need to take risks; we only need to hide here, and he will not be able to discover us."

Wang Jianqiang hurriedly sent a voice transmission to stop her.

As he spoke, he seemed afraid that Biyan'er might make some move; in his excessive urgency, the arm he had wrapped around Biyan'er subconsciously tightened.

Biyan'er's heart trembled, and a shy voice entered Wang Jianqiang's ears, "Daoist Friend Tianyu, your palm."

Wang Jianqiang was startled, as if he had only just realized that the palm he had originally placed on Biyan'er's abdomen had moved higher in his excitement.

He hurriedly let go and said with a face full of apology, "I am sorry, Bi Xianzi, I did not do it on purpose."

As he spoke, he moved to pull his arm away.

However, the space here was too cramped; the two of them were jammed in here almost seamlessly, and his arm failed to move even after trying several times.

Seeing this, Biyan'er shook her head with a blushing face, "It~it is fine."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to change the subject, "It is so cramped here, and the crevice is a straight path; as long as the opponent keeps walking in, he will definitely be able to discover us..."

Speaking to this point, her expression shifted, "Does Daoist Friend Tianyu perhaps have a way to conceal our figures and evade the other party's eyes and perception?"
