Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Escape (Part 2)

Riding on the back of the Firebird, Lin Yun kept demanding that Bai Zhicheng turn around, but Bai Zhicheng had no intention of obeying his orders.

The thought of Lu Bingning and Lan Xi still back there sent a wave of panic through Lin Yun. He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then his vision went black as he fainted.

Cradling Lin Yun’s head on her lap, Mo Qingliu looked at the unconscious young man, tears finally streaming down her face. Before, Mo Qingliu had never felt her Cultivation was low. As the Little Princess of the Mo Family, she had always been protected wherever she went.

This incident, however, made Mo Qingliu realize her past laziness. Mo Qingshui had repeatedly told her to cultivate diligently, but Mo Qingliu had never once listened.

Mo Qingliu had a little secret of her own—one that even Mo Qingshui couldn’t explain.

Mo Qingliu didn’t understand it herself, but every time she cultivated, it felt incredibly easy. A goal Mo Qingshui expected her to reach in a month, she would often achieve in just two or three days.

Not even Mo Qingliu knew how to explain such a cultivation speed. Moreover, whenever she broke through to a new Realm, a mark would appear on her forehead. It felt very familiar, but Mo Qingliu could never figure out what this mark was for.

Holding Lin Yun, Mo Qingliu’s tears fell one by one. At that moment, she made a decision: from now on, she would cultivate with all her might. She never wanted to be a burden to Lin Yun, Sister Bingning, and Sister Lan Xi again.

Lin Yun was completely unconscious. Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Taiching Hall was thick with tension.

The moment Lin Yun was whisked away by Bai Zhicheng, the Taiqing Institute Director had decisively moved to strike and kill him. ’Such a person is too terrifying. If Lin Yun is allowed to mature, I’m afraid no one in the Eastern Domain will be able to stop him in the future.’

However, just as the Taiqing Institute Director made his move, Qin Feng’s master instantly intervened and blocked him.

Qin Feng’s master’s stance was firm. Since the upper echelons of Taiqing Academy had unanimously agreed not to interfere in this matter, the Taiqing Institute Director was not permitted to act now.

The Director had no ground to stand on. Besides, the other Supreme Elders also sided with Qin Feng’s master. Although the Main Seat Elders said nothing, their expressions clearly showed that they shared the same opinion.

With a cold snort, the Taiqing Institute Director finally sat back down on the main seat, forced to watch as Lin Yun made his escape.

Meanwhile, on the main plaza, the Flawless Palace disciples were no match for those of Taiqing Academy. The difference in numbers was simply too great. As for Wei Yunhang, who had gone completely mad, the ferocious look on his face grew more and more intense.

The look in his eyes as he stared at Lu Bingning and Lan Xi was filled with undisguised lust. In this, he seemed like a completely different person from the Wei Yunhang of before.

Honestly, when Wei Yunhang first laid eyes on Lu Bingning, Lan Xi, and Mo Qingliu, he had been truly stunned by their beauty. It was just that he hadn’t fallen out with Lin Yun yet, so he had concealed his desire well.

But now that he and Lin Yun had become mortal enemies, Wei Yunhang no longer needed to conceal his craving for the two women.

”Such beautiful women... Lin Yun is so damn lucky. We’ve never had such beautiful, alluring women show up at Taiqing Academy. Once I capture you two, I’m sure you’ll be able to satisfy me, hahaha.” Laughing ferociously, the desire Wei Yunhang felt for the two women finally erupted.

Looking at Wei Yunhang, the eyes of the two women held nothing but contempt. They would rather die than be captured by a man like him.

They exchanged a glance and nodded. Then, the two Long Rhombuses in their hands began to dance gracefully as they wielded them.

As if dancing, one red and one white Long Rhombus intertwined and lunged toward Wei Yunhang.

Seeing this, Wei Yunhang thrust his Longsword at the Long Rhombuses, but they weren’t damaged in the slightest. This was to be expected. The Long Rhombuses the Double Flower Saint had left for the two women were Treasure Artifacts, while Wei Yunhang’s Longsword was merely a Celestial Spirit Soldier. Even though it was a Top Grade Celestial Spirit Soldier, there was still a huge gap between it and a Treasure Artifact.

The Long Rhombuses spun faster and faster in their hands. Finally, the two weapons wrapped tightly around Wei Yunhang, sealing him inside like a cocoon.

”Get on the Firebirds!” This was a Martial Skill from the Double Flower Secret Technique. The two women knew this move wouldn’t hold Wei Yunhang for long, so they immediately shouted to the members of Flawless Palace.

Hearing the two women’s words, the Flawless Palace disciples leaped onto the backs of the Firebirds one by one, while the two women stayed behind to cover their retreat.

After killing more than ten Inner Sect Disciples from Taiqing Academy, the two women leaped through the air and landed on the back of a Firebird. Once everyone was aboard, He Yuntian prepared to order all the Firebirds to take flight.

Just then, Wei Yunhang, who had been trapped by the two women, shattered their Martial Skill with a single sword strike. His face now even more ferocious, he flew rapidly toward the Firebirds, shouting coldly.

”You cannot escape...”

Seeing this, before anyone else could speak, two Flawless Palace disciples left the Firebird without a second thought and charged toward Wei Yunhang. They knew full well they were no match for him; they were using their lives to buy everyone else time to escape.

Even a single moment would significantly increase their chances of escape.

”Get the hell out of my way!” Seeing the two men flying toward him, Wei Yunhang roared and unleashed two streams of Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi struck both men square in the chest, sending flesh and blood flying. Though not killed instantly, a crazed look appeared in their eyes. With their last ounce of strength, they latched onto Wei Yunhang’s body.

”You’re courting death.” He pierced one’s heart with his sword, then beheaded the other with another swing. In just a few moments, two Direct Disciples of Flawless Palace had died at Wei Yunhang’s hands.

However, in those few moments, the Firebird carrying Lu Bingning and the others had already flown a great distance. Looking at how far they were, Wei Yunhang knew he couldn’t catch them.

The Firebird was the exclusive mount of Flawless Palace and was exceptionally fast. A Celestial Spirit Realm Martial Artist stood no chance, and even the speed of a Spirit Realm Martial Artist was likely only on par with a Firebird’s.

”Damn it...!” Forced to watch Lin Yun escape, and then to watch Lu Bingning and Lan Xi escape as well, Wei Yunhang was filled with towering rage. He furiously slashed his sword down toward the main plaza below.

The immensely powerful Sword Qi left a gash more than ten meters long on the main plaza. Several Inner Sect Disciples were killed directly by Wei Yunhang’s strike.

Gazing up at the murderous Wei Yunhang in the sky, all the Taiqing Academy disciples stood frozen in place, trembling with fear. They had never seen him in such a state before.
