He paused for a moment, his smile slowly fading, replaced by a terrible expression.
“Since you refuse to listen to common sense and are forced to drink the penalty cup, then don’t blame me for being impolite. Attack!”
As soon as he finished speaking, several Holy Purity Sect disciples behind him attacked David and Yun Yao simultaneously.
Yun Yao’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly drew his sword to defend himself.
But his wounds had not healed; how could he possibly match these people?
After only a few steps, he was forced to retreat repeatedly, facing looming danger.
David stood up, wanting to lend a helping hand, but suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell.
The injury he suffered was too severe for him to be able to continue fighting.
Seeing that Yun Yao was about to give up, a determined look flashed in David’s eyes. He gritted his teeth, forced himself to gather his spiritual power, and prepared to fight to the death.
Just then—
“boom!”
With a loud bang, the cave entrance suddenly exploded!
Gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.
Several Sacred Purity Sect disciples were thrown backwards by the shockwave, falling heavily onto the ground and spitting out blood.
Qingxu’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly took a few steps back, watching the cave entrance vigilantly.
A black figure slowly emerged from the cloud of smoke and dust.
She was a woman dressed in black, with a cold and beautiful face, skin as white as snow, and eyes as deep as the night sky.
He exuded a faint ghost-like aura, noble and mysterious, as if he had come from another world.
It was Yunxi.
Yunxi slowly walked into the cave, her gaze coldly sweeping across Qingxu and the Qing Sacred Sect disciples.
Qingxu felt a chill run down his spine under the woman’s gaze and subconsciously took a step back.
“Who are you?!”
Yunxi didn’t answer, but just raised his right hand, and black magical energy slowly condensed in his palm.
Qingxu’s expression changed drastically. He could feel that the woman’s aura was unfathomable, far beyond what he could face.
“Retreat! Retreat now!”
He shouted angrily and turned around to escape.
The Divine Purity Sect disciples, without caring about their injuries, scrambled and crawled after him as they fled the cave.
Yunxi did not chase them. He just stood there, watching them flee into the distance, then turned to David.
David leaned against the stone wall, looking at him weakly, a bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“I owe you again I owe you once more”
Yunxi looked at him, a complicated expression flashing across her eyes.
“Your injury is very serious.”
David nodded, without denying it.
Yunxi walked to his side, raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder, and pure ghost energy slowly flowed into his body.
David felt a warm current flow into his meridians, repairing the damaged areas.
His skin color gradually returned to normal.
After a while, Yunxi withdrew his hand and said calmly, “I can only help stabilize your injury. It will take time for you to fully recover.”
David nodded, looking at him gratefully: “Thank you.”
Yunxi shook his head and looked at Yun Yao.
Even though her body was covered in wounds and her clothes were in tatters, Yun Yao still stood straight in front of David, watching Yun Xi warily.
A glimmer of approval flashed in Yunxi’s eyes, and she said softly, “He is indeed a loyal person.”
He paused, then looked at David: “What are you going to do next?”
David was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “I want to return to Yunxian City.”
“Cloud Immortal City?” Yunxi frowned slightly. “What kind of place is that?”
David said, “It’s a city on the edge of the Fourteenth Heaven. My friends are there who can protect me and help me heal. I can’t rest and recover quietly in the Holy Land of Light.”
Yunxi nodded. “Then how are you going to return? People from the Divine Hall and Divine Purity Sect are looking for you. They probably won’t let you go just like that.”
David looked at Yun Yao.
Yun Yao quickly said, “Young Master, I know a way. Although it is a bit dangerous, this way can help us avoid the pursuit of the Divine Hall and Pure Saint Sect and reach the city where the teleportation array is located.”
David nodded, then looked at Yun Xi.
Yunxi understood what he meant and said calmly, “I can accompany you for a while.”
David looked at him and said solemnly, “Thank you. I will remember this kindness.”
Yunxi shook his head and said no more.
Three figures left the cave and disappeared into the vast forest.
