Chapter 220 Escaping for Their Lives
"Brother Mo, why bother taking action? You've already captured all the Silverfrost cultivators. Why would we need to go through the trouble of seeking our own deaths?"
Luo Sifan was polite in his words, but his eyes darted past the Dan Tower cultivators and lingered on the intricate patterns of the passageway.
He appeared relaxed, which naturally aroused Mo Cuishan's suspicions.
"How did you two get into the Immortal Tomb? What did you see during your day inside?"
Mo Cuishan raised the hand containing the Swallowing Seal three inches higher and sternly questioned Luo Sifan.
After interrogating the captured Silverfrost cultivator, Mo Cuishan knew everything about Luo Sifan and his companion's origins and whereabouts.
"Want to know? Go see for yourself!"
Luo Sifan shrugged, moved aside from blocking the gap in the Broken Dragon Stone, and gestured for Mo Cuishan and the others to go in.
"We'll come in, of course. But we'll have to deal with you two first!"
Mo Cuishan sneered and turned his palm over.
The small Devouring Seal shone in the air, and the Devouring Demon Shadow, which Luo Sifan was all too familiar with, leaped out of the void.
Despite his caution, Mo Cuishan, facing Luo Sifan and his companion, actually urged Tunli to unleash his strongest attack.
The powerful demon's aura pressed down on her, and Lin Qianxiu wanted to draw her spear, but her soul was frozen and she was unable to move.
"Fuck!"
Tun Li's ferocious and ugly appearance disgusted Lin Qianxiu so much that she closed her eyes, only regretting that Luo Sifan had stopped her from making the first move.
Luo Sifan seemed startled and covered her face with her hands. In an instant, Tunli's huge mouth covered Luo Sifan's upper body.
Mo Cuishan struck successfully, and a smile immediately appeared on his lips.
Under the illusion of the demonic body that devoured him, it was likely that he would suffer soul injury and physical damage. Luo Sifan was arrogant and ignorant, and he brought it all upon himself.
One breath passed, two breaths passed...
Zhu Ling's expression suddenly changed, and she urged Mo Cuishan behind her:
"Senior Brother Mo! Stop playing around and quickly retrieve Tunli!"
"You think I don't want to?!"
Mo Cuishan's face turned pale. He turned his head irritably and glared at Zhu Ling. The Swallowing Seal was hanging in his palm. He couldn't remove it or move it. It was very strange.
The demonic figure, still holding Luo Sifan's upper body, remained motionless, as if frozen in place.
"Go! Take them both down!"
Unable to shake off the Devouring Seal in his palm, Mo Cuishan simply gave an order to the cultivators of the Pill Tower.
The narrow passageway was filled with swirling spiritual energy, and five cultivators, led by Mo Cuishan, attacked together.
The demonic shadow of Devouring Departure blocked the attack solidly, and all kinds of spiritual energy, like mud oxen entering the sea, swallowed up the spiritual energy launched by Mo Cuishan and others with soft popping sounds.
Luo Sifan and his companion were leisurely, their clothes barely fluttering.
"Senior Brother Mo! How are we supposed to fight like this?!"
Zhu Ling exhausted all his strength but to no avail. He complained about Mount Mo Cui, saying that the Tunli Seal was in his hands, but why was Tunli helping an outsider?
"How should I know!"
Mo Cuishan was at the forefront, but he was trapped in the illusion of swallowing away like he was stuck in a quagmire. Every move he made required a thousand times more spiritual energy and physical strength. He was caught in a dilemma and let out a frustrated roar.
Seeing that things were not going well, the two Pill Tower cultivators who were at the back fought and retreated, their moves perfunctory, for fear of being caught up in the Devouring Demon Shadow.
"Since we're already here, why not stay?"
Luo Sifan's voice suddenly rang out, and the Devouring Demon Shadow surged, instantly engulfing the entire passageway.
At Mount Mocui, Zhu Ling and five other Dan Tower cultivators vanished in a flash, their faces filled with astonishment as they were swept into Tun Li's body.
With a clang, the Devouring Seal fell to the ground.
The enormous Devouring Demon Shadow in the passageway also disappeared into the Devouring Seal, leaving the passage empty and deserted.
"He's awake! Let's go!"
Luo Sifan snapped Lin Qianxiu out of her reverie with a shout, then stepped forward and took the Devouring Seal from the ground into his hand.
Lin Qianxiu opened her eyes upon hearing the sound, but there was nothing in front of her except for Luo Sifan's back.
The terrifying feeling of the demon still lingered in her soul. No matter how strong Lin Qianxiu's illusion of waking from a nightmare was, she knew that it was Luo Sifan who was up to his tricks again.
Biting her lip resentfully, Lin Qianxiu followed, glancing sideways at Luo Sifan who was strolling ahead:
"Where did you take him, you rascal?"
Luo Sifan looked at Lin Qianxiu, about to find the right words to explain, when both of their expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they exclaimed in unison:
"not good!"
An overwhelming and eerie energy surged forth instantly, sweeping across the area where the two were, hurtling forward with lightning speed.
The two saw that each other's hair stood on end, and a hoarse, cracking sound echoed faintly from all around them.
The rocks beneath their feet remained calm and still, as if the strange noises were merely their hallucinations.
"Oops!"
Luo Sifan smoothed the messy hair on his head, his gaze passing through the stone walls of the passageway and landing on a certain spot in the mountain.
Lin Qianxiu's soul level was a notch lower than his, but she also clearly sensed the terrifying change in the distance.
"Hurry up and leave!"
Unaware of what was going on, Lin Qianxiu reacted even faster than Luo Sifan. With her long hair flowing, she grabbed Luo Sifan and dashed out of the tomb passage.
While she was still in the air, she had already seized the spear and unleashed a burst of spiritual light over ten feet long, sweeping away the dozen or so Dan Tower cultivators who had rushed in bewildered in front of the tunnel entrance.
The group of cultivators assumed that Mo Cuishan and the other four had encountered an accident in the passageway, and hurriedly went forward to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, what swept out from the tunnel exit was Lin Qianxiu's deadly spear light.
Seeing that these cultivators were unable to dodge in time, their faces paling and screaming in agony, unable to escape the power of Lin Qianxiu's spear, Luo Sifan's compassion was stirred again.
The Devouring Seal flashed and then disappeared, completely consuming all the cultivators from the Pill Tower.
"Lin Xiaozhi!"
Lin Qianxiu finally understood and angrily cursed.
Escaping was the priority, and although she was angry, she didn't loosen her grip on Luo Sifan's hand at all.
As the spear's light receded, Lin Qianxiu flashed forward, attacking the Silver Frost cultivator who was bound to the ground.
Those guarding the Pill Tower who were watching over the group of Silver Frost cultivators witnessed Lin Qianxiu display her divine power. As her spear swept across the area, more than a dozen of her senior brothers and sisters vanished without a trace.
Those who remained there, being of the lowest cultivation level, dared not challenge the ferocious Lin Qianxiu. Everyone fled in all directions, no longer caring about the Silver Frost prisoners on the ground.
Duan Xiaoyun took the lead and jumped up, her bound hands behind her back, jumping and shouting with joy:
"Miss Qianxiu! Lin Xiaozhi!"
Apart from Xiao Keding and a few of his subordinates, whose faces were grim, the remaining Silver Frost cultivators cheered along with Duan Xiaoyun.
"Quickly, untie them and get out of here immediately!"
Lin Qianxiu flung Luo Sifan away, and the two split up, their figures flashing incessantly as they cut the ropes binding all the Silver Frost prisoners.
"Take out your array symbols! Teleport immediately!"
Lin Qianxiu had no time to explain, her shouts continuing. She gripped the array talisman tightly in her hand, activating the array patterns on it.
Luo Sifan's actions were a little slow, and under his stern urging, the person he rescued also hurriedly took out the array talisman and activated it.
Outside the Immortal Tomb, Lu Qingshan and the others were also alarmed by the great change, and the teleportation array was running at full capacity.
One after another, the array symbols that lit up in the hands of dozens of cultivators disappeared into the void, teleporting the cultivators out of this place.
Xiao Keding and the others held the array talismans, but did not immediately light them up as Lin Qianxiu suggested.
"Lin Qianxiu! What exactly happened in the tomb?"
Xiao Keding, relying on his status, sternly questioned Lin Qianxiu, who was about to disappear into the void.
"Want to know? Go see for yourself! I don't have time for you!"
Seeing that Luo Sifan and the others had already lit up the array symbols, Lin Qianxiu's expression relaxed slightly. She tossed a sentence to Xiao Keding and her figure immediately disappeared into the void.
