A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 162 Enough talk, let's go!
"Come with me quickly, or Nascent Soul cultivators will be chasing us soon."

Gan Rushuang spoke first.

Han Li was taken aback by the words.

The hundreds of wind blades that almost slipped from his grasp were forcibly suppressed:

"What do you mean?"

"Han Li, I don't care why you're here, or what your intentions are. Now, leave with me immediately. I'm going to betray the Hidden Moon Sect."

The woman said urgently.

"Defected from the Hidden Moon Sect?"

what's the situation?
Han Li, who had concealed his cultivation level and only displayed the peak of Qi Refining, was filled with suspicion.

"Come on."

As Gan Rushuang spoke, she had already headed down the mountain.

Along the way, they didn't subtly send any messages or signals to anyone, nor did they make any other small moves. They didn't even attempt to attack. They truly seemed to be in a hurry to escape for their lives.

That's why Han Li didn't rush to cruelly destroy the flower.

What trouble could a mere late-stage Core Formation cultivator possibly cause in front of him?
"Do you really intend to betray the Hidden Moon Sect? Why?"

Han Li, who was walking at a brisk pace, suddenly became interested in this.

"The sects are all trying to sell me for a good price, how can I just sit here and wait to die?"

"Regardless of the circumstances, you are a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and one with the potential to condense a Nascent Soul. The Hidden Moon Sect should not be pushing you away, should they?"

Han Li raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, Gan Rushuang's face fell.

She also always believed that the Grand Elder would not push her out for the sake of the sect's inheritance.

However, she ultimately overestimated the value of Core Formation cultivators in the eyes of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Perhaps it was because her master was injured and did not have time to recall the Grand Elder who was fighting the Mulan people on the front line before he passed away. In addition, he had high hopes for her, so he imparted part of his cultivation to her, helping her to advance from the mid-stage of Core Formation to the late-stage of Core Formation. This made the Grand Elder resentful.

Or perhaps, the Grand Elder received an irresistible amount of benefits from the Wei family of the Huayi Sect, which is why he used her as a bargaining chip.

Regardless of the circumstances, it is an undeniable fact that she was abandoned by two high-ranking Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Hidden Moon Sect.

"You didn't tell any third party about our little secret, did you?"

Han Li suddenly interjected.

This is very important.

If Gan Rushuang has already revealed the secrets of the Crimson Forbidden Land and the ancient teleportation array to the others, then killing this woman now would be meaningless.

"So, you infiltrated the Hidden Moon Sect this time for me? I guess you want to scheme against me, trick me into leaving the Hidden Moon Sect, and then kill me to cover your tracks, right?"

"Well…!"

I can't accept this.

Because this was indeed one of his plans.

For a fleeting moment, he didn't want to waste any more words; he just wanted to kill the woman and leave as soon as possible to end it all.

If it were me at the Core Formation stage, I definitely wouldn't hesitate for a second.

Now that he has the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage, he is both skilled and daring, and wouldn't mind letting this woman say a few more words before she dies.

Anyway, the initiative is in his hands.

"Looks like I guessed right."

While feeling frustrated, Gan Rushuang also thought to herself that this little guy was overestimating himself.

Over a hundred years have passed, and her cultivation has advanced from the early stage of Core Formation to the late stage. Even if this kid next to her has luckily formed his Core, or even if he advances further to the mid-stage of Core Formation, how could he possibly be her match?

In her opinion, this former junior was nothing special except for his decent breath-concealing technique, which had some unique aspects.

To try and assassinate her is utterly presumptuous.

In short, both of them were extremely confident at that moment.

They all firmly believe that they are the ones in a dominant and proactive position.

"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone your two secrets. I'm not like some people who can be so ruthless."

Gan Rushuang said.

Han Li wasn't embarrassed at all; he was just skeptical.

"Ahem, how come your Hidden Moon Sect is exactly like Yellow Maple Valley back then, able to forcefully push out a Nascent Soul seed?"

Intending to divert attention from the awkward topic, Gan Rushuang was surprisingly calm.

Just as he made his sarcastic remark, two powerful Nascent Soul level divine senses suddenly swept over from the top of Linglong Mountain.

As if sensing something, Gan Rushuang suddenly shuddered, and then... her face turned pale:
"Oh no! They've noticed us!"

"That doesn't make sense. I clearly removed the surveillance devices from my body and left silently. How could they have discovered that I secretly escaped?"

"how come?"

What went wrong?
Beforehand, she had checked every inch of her body.

And she wasn't idle during these three years. For example, she deliberately used a secret technique of the Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique to complete an incomplete "reincarnation" in advance, clearing away all the restrictions attached to the foreign energy on her body.

Just now, she used her cultivation technique to transfer the two divine sense imprints that the Grand Elder had personally planted on her body two years ago to the maid who had been placed by her side to monitor her. Before leaving, she didn't forget to knock the maid unconscious.

In addition, she even changed all the clothes and jewelry she always wore close to her body.

It was given to the maid.

This is to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Therefore, in theory, her whereabouts should not be exposed in the short term.

But why was it still noticed?

"Hurry, two Nascent Soul cultivators are catching up!" Gan Rushuang said anxiously as she fled towards the mountain gate, glancing back at the pass.

It’s over.

Not only will he be unable to escape, but the secret he has been guarding will also be intercepted by the Grand Elder.

hateful.

Sure enough, just as she began her rapid escape without concealing her presence, the sect's protective array reacted instantly.

A huge light curtain rose up and enveloped the entire Linglong Mountain.

Various restrictions were flashing with spiritual light, clearly indicating that they were serious.

In addition, the Grand Elder's voice transmission followed immediately, resounding in the ears of all the high-level cultivators within the mountain gate:

“Capture Gan Rushuang; she stole the sect’s most precious treasure and is preparing to defect.”

"What a brilliant move to seize the initiative."

Gan Rushuang was only at the Core Formation stage, and her divine sense had not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, so she naturally could not hear the divine sense transmission from the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect to his disciples. However, Han Li intercepted every single word of this transmission.

With this telepathic message, no matter what Gan Rushuang said thereafter, the entire sect would instinctively believe the Grand Elder.

The man on the mountaintop's move effectively cut off all escape routes for the woman beside him.

"Interesting. Is your situation really that bad?"

Han Li smiled.

"You can still laugh?"

Gan Rushuang, who failed to escape before the great formation was raised, bit her lips until they turned white.

The resentment in his heart was almost written on his face.

Dozens of miles away, on the summit of Linglong Mountain, two figures quickly appeared, exuding a strong sense of oppression even from afar:
"Gan Rushuang, you have disappointed me greatly. Do you deserve the trust and guidance your master has given you?"

The woman beside him remained silent.

Because at this point, anything said would be pale and powerless.

She simply patted her storage bag and took out a token and several array flags, then planted the flags at the edge of the mountain-protecting array, and activated the token again:

"rise!"

The next moment, another light screen rose up and became entangled with the protective array of the Hidden Moon Sect, melting away to create a passage that allowed one person to escape.

Upon seeing the passage, Han Li assumed that Gan Rushuang would try to escape.

However, to his surprise:
"Go now, get out of here quickly. I'll buy you some time. Don't let the Grand Elder and the others catch you."

As he spoke, he tossed out the array control token and stepped forward, blocking the path of the people from the Hidden Moon Sect.

"Uh?"

Han Li was stunned.

"Is this some kind of backup plan you've prepared for yourself?"

"if not?"

"If I leave, what will you do? Are you going to stay behind to buy me time?"

“If I stay, I’ll just be someone’s furnace, I won’t die. If you stay, you’re sure to die. If you get caught too, I’ll have no chance at all in this life. But if you can survive and help me out, I might still have a tiny bit of a chance to turn things around.”

Whether it's the secrets she's been hiding or this escape, it's enough to put her in a desperate situation.

And her only hope no longer lay with herself, but rather with this ill-intentioned fellow who had infiltrated the Hidden Moon Sect:

"Stop talking nonsense and get going."

"Am I worthy of your trust?"

“What else can I do if I don’t hold onto any hope? Almost everyone I know is no longer in this world. You, little one, have become the person I know best.”

For a moment, Han Li fell silent.

But he did do something, not nothing.

"Although I don't quite understand your feelings, I think we can leave together."

As he spoke, he no longer concealed his cultivation level, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.

Gan Rushuang, standing beside him, stumbled, then stared in disbelief. That imposing aura, as high and mighty as the sun, made the woman tremble completely.
"Yuan... Nascent Soul stage?!"

"You're not even at the Core Formation stage?"

How can it be?

impossible.

In just over a hundred years, how did one progress from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Nascent Soul stage?
It is absolutely impossible.

"Snapped."

He clasped his hands together, gathering hundreds of wind blades in his palms, compressing them rapidly, compressing them again and again! Finally, he threw them out.

"The crescent moon... Slash!"

one strike.

Space was cut into countless gaps, and even the originally stable spatial barrier of the human realm seemed unable to withstand this force.

The mountain-protecting formation, which was not yet fully formed, was struck by a wind blade that had expanded to a hundred feet in size. As the energy was released, countless wind blades exploded and scattered, and the formation was immediately split in two!
This scene terrified all the cultivators of the Hidden Moon Sect, causing them to stop in their tracks.

"Let's go."

He grabbed Grandma Gan's slender waist, who had just stiffened, and with a burst of wind-escape technique, he soared into the sky and flew away.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Hidden Moon Sect looked extremely grim upon seeing this:
"Chase."

If they let someone take Gan Rushuang away, where will the Hidden Moon Sect put its face?

If Gan Rushuang escapes, how will she explain it to Wei Lichen?
Should I give myself to that guy?
　I didn't have enough time, so it's not well written. I'll adjust it in a bit. Here's the general situation.
