When the disciples of the Corpse-controlling Sect arrived at the Alchemy Room, each of them looked ashen-faced.
Their master in the Completely Realm was ruthlessly slaughtered, his corpse crushed into meat paste, and the Alchemy Room was looted clean. All the good elixirs were stolen, and those that were left were burned to ashes by the raging fire.
"Shameless thieves, you’re nothing but scoundrels!" Someone shouted angrily.
It’s no wonder they were cursing because those three thieves went too far; stealing elixirs was one thing, but they also burned down the Alchemy Room, committing such villainous deeds, how could one not be enraged.
"Senior Brother, you died so horribly. I will definitely catch the culprits and avenge you!"
At this moment, an elder master in the Earth Penetration Realm arrived. Seeing his senior brother reduced to meat scraps, his hair stood on end with rage, ready to pursue the culprits; just then, a disciple ran over in a panic—
"Uncle Wang, the Medicinal Herb Garden has also been robbed, please go have a look!"
Wang Qiufeng jumped up, riding his Flying Sword at top speed towards the Medicinal Herb Garden.
The disciples quickly followed, charging towards the Medicinal Herb Garden. Upon seeing the devastation there, Wang Qiufeng fell headfirst from his Flying Sword, hitting the ground and almost dying from the impact.
"Uncle, please stay calm, don’t hurt yourself!" The disciples hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Wang Qiufeng shook his head and climbed up, nearly spitting blood from anger. The large Medicinal Herb Garden was thoroughly looted, not even a sapling was left!
"There seem to be words on the ground!" Suddenly someone exclaimed.
Wang Qiufeng’s face turned cold as he quickly looked over, seeing it written—
"Old folks of the Corpse-controlling Sect, your fruits are quite good. I recently ran out of money, so I casually picked a few baskets, should be able to sell for a couple bucks a pound. Thanks for your contribution; I’ll give you a visit next time I’m free."
This shameless thief dared to call the spirit essence in their Medicinal Herb Garden fruits!
Wang Qiufeng was already hot-tempered, now even more furious, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, cursing to the heavens: "You opportunistic scoundrel, thief, I will definitely tear you to pieces!"
"Uncle, please stay calm, stay calm." A foolish disciple comforted him, quickly handing Wang Qiufeng a handkerchief.
"Calm my ass!" Wang Qiufeng threw the handkerchief aside, shouting: "Send the order to deploy all available forces, seal off the area within thirty miles, hunt down this shameless thief, the murderer!"
"Yes, Uncle Wang!" The disciples received the order and went off.
Chen Nan was naturally unaware of Wang Qiufeng’s fury, for they had already moved more than two miles away.
But just then, with a "whoosh," a Light Arrow shot into the sky, exploding like fireworks. Infused with the Taoist Skill of cultivators, it could be seen by everyone within tens of miles.
Black Feathered Chicken’s expression changed, exclaiming: "Not good, the old folks from Corpse-controlling Sect have noticed the situation, and they’re signaling the surrounding disciples to encircle us."
Chen Nan frowned and asked, "What should we do now?"
"We can only grit our teeth and charge forward, but there’s one thing to keep in mind, don’t expose our identities, otherwise the consequences will be dire," Black Feathered Chicken warned.
Chen Nan nodded, the two men and a chicken sped forward, quickly charging towards the Eastern direction.
After avoiding five waves of pursuing enemies, when they encountered the sixth wave, the three bandits stopped.
"Damn, the front is completely blocked by them, it’s really not easy to escape," Black Feathered Chicken said.
Chen Nan sensed the enemy’s formation, chuckled and said: "The enemy’s weakest force is in the Dongnan direction, Dead Chicken, you go and draw them away, Qingqing and I will seize the opportunity to escape."
Black Feathered Chicken glared: "Hell, why me, Chicken Lord?"
"Simple, among the three of us, only your flight speed is the fastest, you drawing away the enemy is most suitable," Chen Nan said, "Chicken Brother, you wouldn’t want me, who can’t fly, or Qingqing, a girl, to take the risk, right?"
Black Feathered Chicken was speechless.
After cursing a couple of times, it didn’t hesitate and said: "Then you two be quick, there are too many people, Chicken Lord can’t delay for long."
Chen Nan nodded and said: "No problem."
Black Feathered Chicken, donning its Golden Armor, gave a loud cry, charging at the disciples of the Corpse-controlling Sect: "You petty thieves, all meet your end!"
Seeing the target appear, all the Corpse-controlling Sect disciples rushed towards Black Feathered Chicken.
Black Feathered Chicken’s Golden Armor was forged when it possessed Heavenly Realm cultivation, its defensive power was extremely strong, the Flying Swords of these Corpse-controlling Sect disciples couldn’t hurt it at all.
This Dead Chicken zigzagged agilely through the Gun Forest Sword Rain.
Meanwhile, Chen Nan and Su Qingqing seized the moment and charged towards the area with the fewest people. Su Qingqing was a bit worried and said: "Dummy, Little Black Chicken won’t get hurt, right?"
Chen Nan shook his head and said: "Rest assured, it’s tougher than any weapon, these people can’t hurt it."
As expected, not long after, Black Feathered Chicken managed to escape and followed behind.
"Next, let’s escape north!" Chen Nan glanced at Black Feathered Chicken and said.
Su Qingqing was taken aback: "Aren’t we going east? Why go north?"
Chen Nan laughed and said: "Normally, you only read textbooks, not studying military strategies, so you don’t understand? They’ve already spotted us, knew we were heading east, now the east must be completely blocked, going there would be walking into a trap."
Su Qingqing scratched her head: "Is it Art of War or Thirty-Six Stratagems?"
"Kiss me, I’ll tell you." Chen Nan laughed.
Su Qingqing rolled her eyes: "If you don’t tell me, I’ll throw you off the Lotus Platform."
"If you dare, go ahead." Chen Nan looked fearless.
Black Feathered Chicken couldn’t help but curse: "Damn it, at a time , you’re still flirting, hurry up, or Chicken Lord will peck you both."
The three bandits flew north, about ten miles later, Chen Nan thought they had escaped the pursuit of Corpse-controlling Sect, but then, a figure blocked the way. It was a white-haired elder, with blood stains on his lips, it was Wang Qiufeng who had been enraged to the point of spitting blood in the Medicinal Herb Garden.
"You three small thieves, I knew it, you were either going south or north!" Wang Qiufeng sneered: "But I didn’t expect, with your cultivation, you could kill my senior brother!"
"Blocking us means nothing, with just you here, your death will be more miserable than your senior brother’s."
Chen Nan appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was unsettled because his Inner Strength was severely depleted earlier and hadn’t fully recovered yet. He whispered to Black Feathered Chicken: "Dead Chicken, you first use the Gravity Field to entangle him, buy me some time, I need to activate the All Character Secret to trigger Four Times Strength."
