Qingling Mountain, a vast mountain range located in the Tianhua Domain, also serves as a passageway to the Earth’s Mortal World.
And at this moment, Zhu Fei was standing with Tang Mengyun and Pan Tingting at a transmission array on the peak of Qingling Mountain.
It had been two months since Zhu Fei had established the Yue Dan Pavilion.
In these two months, Zhu Fei had gathered the Sect Leaders of the Five Great Sects to set up a Level 6 isolating grand array at this location, preventing Cultivators from the Kunlun Xuan Realm from easily reaching the Earth’s Mortal World.
At the same time, Qingling Mountain had also been declared a forbidden zone by Zhu Fei and the leaders of the Five Great Sects.
Unless special circumstances arose or permission was granted by Zhu Fei and the Five Great Sects, anyone daring to trespass would be immediately executed without mercy!
"Mengyun, Tingting, I will soon open the transmission array’s prohibition. During the process, we may be separated. We will proceed as we previously planned. If nothing goes awry, we will convene in Lan City. Are you both prepared?"
At that time, Zhu Fei looked at the two women and asked with a smile.
This trip to the Earth’s Mortal World for Zhu Fei was intended to take his women and friends away, and then to completely resolve his affairs related to the Earth’s Mortal World.
From that point on, he would remain in the Kunlun Xuan Realm, until he ascended to another Cultivation plane.
The reason he had not brought Yun Duo with them was that she had already gone to West Kunlun to prepare for the inheritance of their bloodline.
As for Ye Haitang, he had left her at the Yue Dan Pavilion to deal with and oversee Sect matters.
"Yes, we are ready, Zhu Fei. Let’s go."
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s question, both Tang Mengyun and Pan Tingting nodded and responded to Zhu Fei with a smile.
"Good." Zhu Fei didn’t hesitate any longer. As he formed Dharma Seals with his hands, he threw out several top-grade spirit stones that instantly fell into the slots of the transmission array.
With Zhu Fei activating the transmission array, the figures of the three were soon enveloped by the light of the array.
In just a few breaths, the three had completely vanished from their original spot.
In the Himalayas, by the side of a steep cliff,
over a dozen black-clad Fusang ninjas were besieging five young men and women.
Among the young group, one clad in a white robe and wielding a precious sword exuded a sharp gaze; his sword Qi roared with each strike, blocking most of the attackers’ offenses.
It was thanks to his presence that everyone was able to hold on stubbornly until now.
"Blood Evil, to think you would be so heartless and mad to willingly join the Fusang Sakura Group to fight against us."
The young man fended off a combined attack from six ninjas, suddenly turning to a middle-aged man in a blood-red robe behind the Fusang ninjas, and spoke in anger.
"Heh heh, Wen Lei, spare me your nonsense. If you’re smart, hand over the information you have. Maybe then I’ll consider giving you a quick end. Otherwise, I will make you wish for death that you cannot have!"
The middle-aged man called Blood Evil by Wen Lei suddenly showed a pair of fierce eyes, venomously speaking.
"Wen Lei, don’t bother with such people. Take your wife and the Sky Scorpion and go! We’ll hold them off temporarily. Just remember to avenge us later."
A man, whose body was enshrouded by thunder and lightning and who stood tall, was shouting at Wen Lei while blocking attacks from two ninjas.
If Zhu Fei had been there, he would have recognized the man at a glance. It was none other than Lei Ying, the person who had been responsible for taking him to the Sky Shadow branch when he was in the Mortal World!
Including the remaining four, they were all acquaintances of Zhu Fei’s, namely Wen Lei, Sky Scorpion Princess, the assassin Cold Kill, and Wen Lei’s partner, Huang Su Yan.
Previously, they had stolen some important information from a base belonging to the Sakura Group in Fusang while on a mission.
Later, during their return, they were unfortunately discovered by top ninjas of the Sakura Group, leading to a relentless pursuit that had brought them to the Himalayas.
"Su Yan sister, be careful!"
Just then, Sky Scorpion Princess, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly let out a shriek.
A top ninja appeared out of nowhere right behind Huang Su Yan.
He held a katana engraved with mysterious runes, his face bearing a terrifying, ferocious smile, and he furiously slashed down toward Huang Su Yan’s back!
Wen Lei saw his partner in crisis and his teeth clenched in desperation.
He wanted to rescue her, but he was simply too far away from Huang Su Yan, and within that moment, neither he nor the others could intervene to save her.
It seemed that Huang Su Yan could not escape her fate and was about to fall to the katana of the top ninja.
At this moment, Sky Scorpion Princess, seated in her wheelchair, suddenly exhibited an unnatural blush on her pale face.
Then, she coughed up a mouthful of blood, and a surge of intense telekinetic force suddenly enveloped Huang Su Yan.
There was a "boom" as the top ninja’s katana struck Huang Su Yan’s back, and inexplicably, ripples undulated through the emptiness of space.
In the next moment, a wave of invisible telekinetic force swirled around Huang Su Yan, flinging the top ninja high into the air!
Huang Su Yan’s first reaction after realizing she had narrowly escaped death was not to continue pursuing the top ninja but to rush to the Sky Scorpion Princess’s side instead.
At that time, Sky Scorpion Princess, after casting the intense spike of telekinetic power, had her gaze become extremely dim, and a nearly visible aura of death wrapped around her.
Huang Su Yan knew that Sky Scorpion’s life force had already been extremely frail.
If it hadn’t been for Zhu Fei’s help in extending her life two years ago, and later, their fortuitous acquisition of some Spiritual Medicine that could replenish Primordial Qi, enabling Sky Scorpion to delay the extinguishing of her life force, the Sky Scorpion Princess would have probably already perished by now.
And Sky Scorpion herself, perhaps sensing her time was near, had secretly followed them and partaken in this mission without anyone else knowing.
In fact, it was proven that Sky Scorpion’s existence had indeed been a great help.
If it weren’t for her telekinesis shielding them from Blood Evil and the others’ searches along the way, they probably would never have managed to flee to the Himalayas.
But now, in order to save Huang Su Yan, Sky Scorpion had nearly exhausted her last bit of life force, leaving Huang Su Yan in agony and steeped in guilt.
"Cough, cough... Su Yan sister, I... I fear I can’t go back with you all," Sky Scorpion looked up to the sky laboriously and continued to murmur softly, "I enjoyed the time spent with all of you. If possible, I hope you can all be well."
She continued, "If you get the chance to see Brother Fei in the future, then... then please give him my regards, tell him that... in fact, I missed him a little..."
After speaking, Sky Scorpion’s hands slowly fell limp, and the light in her eyes gradually faded to the color of dying embers.
