You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"Senior Sister Qin, you're awake?" Chen Huai'an heard Qin Muyao's voice, which sounded like heavenly music.

The biggest burden in this battle was Qin Muyao. He had to protect Qin Muyao, which made it inconvenient when running away. But now that Qin Muyao has awakened, he is much safer when facing the pursuit of the Yin Sha Sect disciples.

Chen Huai'an witnessed Qin Muyao kill several Yin Sha Sect disciples with just a few sword flashes.

If Qin Muyao were to make a move, the Yin Sha Sect disciples who were chasing him would be practically courting death.

Without much hesitation, Chen Huai'an quickly put Qin Muyao down, and the vine armor in front of her disappeared as well.

Qin Muyao stood there gracefully, and Chen Huai'an felt extremely at ease.

While waiting, Chen Huai'an quickly absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit stones in his hand to restore his mana. Even with Qin Muyao as a powerful backer, he dared not let his guard down. After all, the enemy outnumbered them, and if he could protect himself once a fight broke out, he would not distract Qin Muyao. Once Qin Muyao defeated the enemy, he would return to rescue her.

Several dark figures, as agile as monkeys, arrived in front of Chen Huai'an and his group in just a few leaps.

"Qin Muyao, why aren't you running away?"

Qin Muyao smiled calmly: "They're just a bunch of ants who can't stand the light of day. What's there to be arrogant about?"

After taking Chen Huai'an's top-grade healing pills, her injuries improved. Although there were experts at the Foundation Establishment stage among the opposing group, she was no match for them, but surviving was not a problem.

What she lacks most right now is time. As long as she has some time to recover from her injuries and regain her inner power, killing these Yin Sha Sect disciples will be as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs.

Even though they are both at the Foundation Establishment stage, their strengths can vary drastically.

Qin Muyao was being hunted down by the disciples of the Yin Sha Sect, but she did not send a message to report to the sect in order to hone herself, because only in desperate situations can one break through.

Originally, Qin Muyao would have met with misfortune because of her arrogance, but she met Chen Huai'an, who protected her and bought her time to recover.

In fact, Qin Muyao had already awakened when Chen Huai'an encountered the pack of wolves, but because of her serious injuries, she did not rush to help Chen Huai'an. At the same time, she also wanted to see how much potential Chen Huai'an had for growth.

She was forced to reveal herself only when the disciples of the Yin Sha Sect suddenly appeared. The Yin Sha Sect had dispatched a group of disciples with cultivation levels above the Qi Refining Realm to hunt her down, and the leaders were several disciples at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If it were just one or two Foundation Establishment disciples, he wouldn't be afraid at all; he would chase them down until they questioned their existence. However, this time, several Foundation Establishment experts had come, and she was also injured, which is why he was running around like a headless chicken.

"The other side has a Foundation Establishment realm expert. I'll handle this one. You just need to hold on for a little while, and I'll come to help you after I finish this battle." Qin Muyao's voice rang in Chen Huai'an's mind.

"Senior Sister Qin, don't worry. My strength has recovered a bit. I can still hold my own against ordinary early-stage Qi Refining cultivators." Chen Huai'an was a little excited at the thought of fighting alongside Foundation Establishment experts.

Chen Huai'an had fought against the disciples of the Yin Sha Sect before, and he was quite confident in this battle.

Chen Huai'an was worried about experts in the late stage of Qi Refining and those in the Foundation Establishment stage. He still had a chance against experts in the late stage of Qi Refining, but if he faced an expert in the Foundation Establishment stage, he would have no chance at all.

With Qin Muyao to hold off the experts, he only needs to go all out and fight.

Qin Muyao did not make a move immediately. She was waiting and secretly accumulating strength. After all, she was injured, and the slower she acted, the more advantageous it would be for her.

"You two go deal with that kid, he's already at his last gasp. The rest of you, come with me to deal with Qin Muyao. Let's attack together and finish this quickly." The black-clad man at the Foundation Establishment stage, who was in the lead, naturally saw through the key point and immediately gave the order to attack.

They were acutely aware of Qin Muyao's power, having suffered heavy losses as a result. Therefore, whenever they encountered Qin Muyao, they would go all out, even if she was already at her last gasp, they would still use their strongest teams to surround and kill her.

Several of the strongest men in black dealt with Qin Muyao, while Qin Muyao only left two men at the early stage of Qi Refining to deal with him, which made Chen Huai'an secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Huai'an couldn't get involved in Qin Muyao's battle at all; all he had to do now was figure out how to survive the pursuit of the two Yin Sha Sect disciples.

Chen Huai'an had the strength and resources to confront the other party head-on, but he did not do so.

If you stand out too much, you will be hunted down by the disciples of the Yin Sha Sect, and you will face endless pursuit.

Knowing when to conceal one's talents can be a lifesaver.

"Kid, trying to escape? Die!" Chen Huai'an acted unpredictably, turning to flee. The two Yin Sha Sect disciples immediately shouted and charged towards Chen Huai'an.

Chen Huai'an didn't care about any of that; saving his life was the priority. As for comforting Qin Muyao, that was not something a menial disciple like him could interfere with. Instantly, he unleashed the Wood Release technique.

"This kid has some skill; he executed the Wood Release technique so smoothly. We can't be careless and let him get away." One of the men in black looked on with suspicion.

If they hadn't placed a tracking mark on Chen Huai'an, he could have easily shaken them off with the escape techniques he's displaying.

The two pursued him relentlessly, like leeches. Chen Huai'an realized that they must have left a tracking mark on him. To get rid of this trouble, he had to run away as fast as he could and get away from Qin Muyao and the others' battle. Only then could he fight back with all his might.

Chen Huai'an didn't take the two cultivators at the early stage of Qi Refining seriously.

"Is this guy a dog? How can he run so fast?" The three chased and fled, covering more than ten miles in the blink of an eye. They didn't even manage to hurt Chen Huai'an, let alone touch a single hair on his head. Where did this monster come from?

They had witnessed Chen Huai'an fighting a pack of Gale Wolves; logically, he should have been at his last gasp.

"Kid, run! Go ahead and run! Why aren't you running anymore?" Suddenly, Chen Huai'an stopped. Two men in black quickly caught up, one of them looking at Chen Huai'an with a mocking expression.

"Who are you people? I have no grudge against you, why are you chasing me?" Chen Huai'an glared at the other party, feigning anger.

"Why are we chasing you? Because you deserve to die." One of the men in black, without saying a word, thrust a long spear directly at Chen Huai'an.

Chen Huai'an dared not be negligent and quickly summoned his bone shield magic weapon to defend. This was not a spiritual weapon, but a magic weapon. This bastard was truly despicable. He wanted to hide his strength and trick the other party, seriously injuring one person so that things would be easier afterward. But the other party did not fall for his trick at all and attacked with all his might. He had no choice but to desperately block.

"Die!" Another man in black shouted, and then used a shuttle-shaped magic weapon to stab at Chen Huai'an.

Now, Chen Huai'an was attacked from both sides, and his situation was extremely critical.

Chen Huai'an summoned a bone shield to block one of the attackers' frontal attacks. His wood-elemental magic surged, and a vine armor appeared on his back. Then, he unleashed his flaming sword technique, attacking one of the attackers.

Chen Huai'an's bone shield blocked the insidious shuttle-shaped magical artifact. He turned his body, and with a flick of his flying sword, he blocked the opponent's spear and sword thrusts at him.
