Chapter 97: The Powerhouse of the Wuji Sect (Fifth update, please add to your library!)

The white-haired cultivator surnamed Han, who had exchanged a blow with the Golden-Haired Sacred Ape, was blasted dozens of zhang away like a falling leaf, the Golden Light on his body flickering unsteadily as if it were about to vanish.

In contrast, the Golden-Haired Sacred Ape merely rolled once in mid-air before landing heavily on the ground.

"The Wuji Sect's 'Tiangang Body-Strengthening Art' is truly peerless! To think it could withstand a blow from a Four-tier demonic beast!"

Yu Lei took a deep breath; if it were him, even if he were given ten times the courage, he would not dare to exchange a blow with the Golden-Haired Sacred Ape before him.

"The Wuji Sect has always focused on Body Refining! But this is the first time I have seen such a powerful physical body!"

Zhuge Qing also praised continuously.

The cultivators of the Nanxuan Sect and the Beixuan Sect mostly relied on Magic Treasures, and their primary method of attack was also through Magic Treasures, but the Wuji Sect was different; most of their cultivators focused on Body Refining, and the sturdiness of their physical bodies had long since far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators.

"Go!"

As soon as he steadied his figure, the white-haired cultivator surnamed Han shouted to the remaining sect members; in the current situation, they had no chance of slaying the demonic ape.

Looking up and glaring fiercely at the group from the Nanxuan Sect in mid-air, the cultivator surnamed Han helplessly led the others and fled toward the depths of the great mountains.

"Young Sect Master..."

Seeing the other side abandon the Golden-Haired Sacred Ape and flee, Yu Lei immediately grew anxious, but before he could finish his sentence, Zhuge Qing's ethereal voice rang out!

"Pursue and kill the Wuji Sect cultivators with all your might, especially that white-haired cultivator; I suspect he is the renowned Han Liang of the Wuji Sect! Slaying this person is far more meaningful than slaying the demonic beast before us!"

Upon hearing the name Han Liang, all the Nanxuan Sect cultivators except for Zhang Nuo revealed expressions of shock. Han Liang was hailed as the most talented Body Refining practitioner of the Wuji Sect; it was rumored that when he was at Qi Refining Stage Nine, he could contend with Foundation Establishment Early Stage Body Refining cultivators without falling into a disadvantage!

In recent years, his cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds, vaulting him into a Foundation Establishment Mid-stage cultivator, and his Body Refining Technique had reached a state of perfection; even the Wuji Sect's Sect Leader, Xiao Zhengxing, held him in high regard and specifically passed down the 'Tiangang Body-Strengthening Art' that had been handed down in the Wuji Sect since ancient times.

It was precisely because she saw the Tiangang Body-Strengthening Art that Zhuge Qing concluded this person was Han Liang! If she could slay the Wuji Sect's number one genius, it would be a hundred times better than slaying the Golden-Haired Sacred Ape!

At Zhuge Qing's command, the Nanxuan Sect members one after another steered their Magic Treasures and pursued in the direction the Wuji Sect members had fled. After several streaks of light flashed across the sky, everyone disappeared without a trace.

On the open ground, only the Golden-Haired Sacred Ape remained, looking somewhat puzzled in the direction where everyone had vanished; after a long howl of "Aoo," it fled in the opposite direction.

The white-haired man was leading the remaining seven people as they sprinted across the ground; after sweeping his Divine Sense backward, he discovered the Nanxuan Sect group pursuing from mid-air.

"They are actually trying to kill us all! How truly sinister!"

He muttered to himself in his heart; the white-haired man had originally thought that by abandoning the Golden-Haired Sacred Ape, the cultivators in the sky would let them leave, but he had not expected the other side to abandon the Golden-Haired Sacred Ape and turn to hunt them down instead.

"Everyone split up! Do not engage the enemy; if any of you survive, meet at our pre-arranged location!"

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable for his side, the white-haired man made a decisive choice. After speaking, he was the first to pat the Storage Bag at his waist, and a white light shot out, transforming into a disc-shaped Flying Magic Tool after a few flickers in front of him.

While running, he leaped onto the Magic Treasure, and with a flash of white light, he sped away in one direction. The remaining people also brought out various Magic Treasures, and for a moment, all kinds of light rose from the ground, flying off in different directions in the blink of an eye!

Zhuge Qing, who had been pursuing from behind, could not help but knit her brows slightly at the sight; Han Liang was truly cunning to have the Wuji Sect members scatter and flee, as this would cause their pursuit to be spread too thin!

"Young Sect Master!"

Yu Lei, who was flying at the front with Zhuge Qing, urged her with an unsightly expression.

"Forget it! Let's stop the pursuit! In terms of flight speed, these Wuji Sect people are not a bit slower than us. If we keep chasing like this, I'm afraid there will be no conclusion for a while, and instead, it will cause our Spirit Power to be greatly depleted! The main task is what matters!"

Decisively stopping her figure, Zhuge Qing said with lingering unwillingness. However, this young girl had a very clear head; the purpose of their trip was to slay the two-headed snake and take the precious treasure it was guarding. If they spent their time and energy on hunting down the Wuji Sect cultivators, it would be a waste of talent!

"Why don't we go back and slay the 'Golden-Haired Sacred Ape' instead!"

Chu Budong said with some regret.

"Better not! Looking at the Golden-Haired Sacred Ape, its strength is not weak; with the power of our dozen or so people, I'm afraid it would take some effort. It is better to save our strength to slay the two-headed snake!"

Zhuge Qing did not adopt Chu Budong's suggestion either. Her gaze looked toward a small white dot in the distance, and she suddenly let out a long sigh. The small white dot was the direction in which Han Liang had flown away on his Magic Tool.

"If there is a chance, I really would like to spar with Han Liang!"

After muttering to herself, Zhuge Qing led the group and flew once again in the direction of the two-headed snake.

Zhang Nuo had been mixed in the group the whole time, and everything Zhuge Qing did was seen by him. One had to say that this woman was a natural commander, always decisive in her actions. It seemed that if he wanted to stay in the Nanxuan Sect for a long time, he would have to be extra careful with this Young Sect Master.

The group flew rapidly through the sky. Zhang Nuo deliberately distanced himself from Zhuge Qing and moved closer to Chu Budong; through their constant conversation, he also learned some things about Han Liang.

At a certain place in the Trial Ground, a white-haired man landed slowly on the ground. He turned his head to look in the direction he had come from, and seeing nothing unusual, he finally let out a long breath.

"Nanxuan Sect! Zhuge Qing! Seeing you now, you are indeed no mediocre person! There are still many days left in the Trial Ground! Do not give me, Han, a chance, or I will surely put you to death!"

This person was indeed Han Liang of the Wuji Sect. Seeing that the pursuers behind had not followed after the sect members scattered and fled, he concluded that the other side must have made the decision to give up on hunting him down.

However, the fact that the matter of slaying the 'Golden-Haired Sacred Ape' had been meddled with by others made this Wuji Sect genius somewhat angry!

After a cold smile on his face, Han Liang moved his figure, ducked into the dense forest, and disappeared!
