"Chase him!"

  "We absolutely ot let that thief Lin escape!"

  The crowd shouted fervently, like worker bees drawn to ar, relentlessly pursuing their target.

  Lin Hao had been fleeing for four or five hours, his spiritual energy nearly depleted, with the pursuers hot on his heels, leaving him no editate and recover his energy.

  With a pained expression, he pulled out a bottle of pills from his ste bag.

  These were a gift from his master, a Holy Spirit Pill that only a cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage could refine.

  Not only could this pill heal injuries, but it was also exceptional at rest spiritual energy!

  He uncorked the bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it with a grimace, rest eighty pert of his spiritual energy.

  You bastards, don't think you catch me!

  He ughed arrogantly and immediately increased his speed, breaking away from the chase like a gust of wind.

  ...

  Phew~

  Lin Hao exhaled a long breath.

  After fleeing all night, even with the Holy Spirit Pill rest his energy, his body was utterly exhausted.

  Fortunately, by dawn, he had pletely shaken off his pursuers and found a pce to hide aemporarily.

  He estimated that there were probably over a thousand people who had e to hunt him down this time.

  Just as he was catg his breath, he saw a dense crowd of figures heading his way.

  Damn it!

  Will this never end?

  Lin Hao cursed and had no choice but to flee once more.

  Staying in one pce would eventually lead to discovery.

  The thought of being besieged by a thousand cultivators made his scalp tingle; he dared not be pt.

  "The demon spapeared!"

  "Quick, chase him! This time we 't let him escape again!"

  "Today, no matter what, we must execute the demon spawn here!"

  As he fled, Lin Hao gnced bad reized many familiar faces.

  The Peach Blossom Bde Immortal, Su Mu from Wuji Sword Pace, and Wang Ben and Wang Shihan.

  Huh!

  That white-robed swordsman looks somewhat familiar?

  Lin Hao furrowed his brows, trying to recall, and finally remembered.

  That guy is a prodigy from the Heavenly Sword Sect!

  Damn!

  Even the genius sword cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Sect has e to hunt me down.

  These bastards really think highly of me!

  Too bad they're all brainless fools, unaware that we're all just pawns, aren't we?

  As Lin Hao ran, he observed his surroundings.

  Sihe little fox mentiohat the Demon was making a move, there were indeed many human cultivatathered now.

  The Demon should be making their move, right?

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel troubled, feeling like a deer caught between wolves in front and tigers behind, a situation of near-certaih!

  "Shiha assured, this time we not only have the numbers but also the assistance ies from various sects. We will surely capture and kill Lin Hao in one fell swoop."

  The disciples from various sects shared Wang Ben's se, believing that they would definitely capture Lin Hao this time.

  So, in their eagero cim the first merit, they charged forward bravely!

  "Shihan, just watch. I will take Lin Hao's head to avehe insult to your honor."

  Hearing Wang Ben say this, Wang Shihan's face ged dramatically. Does this bastard have no brains?

  He just had t up the most sensitive topic!

  Her hatred for Wang Ben now far exceeded that for Lin Hao.

  As the cultivators, fueled by adrenaline, pursued Lin Hao, the bright sky suddenly turned overcast.

  Lightning fshed, thunder roared, and a torrential downpour arrived in an instant.

  Boom!

  Boom!

  Boom!

  Many cultivators looked up at the sky, utterly puzzled. How did the weather ge so suddenly?

  Something's wrong! The white-robed swordsman from the Heavenly Sword Sect, with eyes as cold as stars, fshed a hint of seriousness.

  "It's not just the weather ging."

  "It's the Demon causing trouble!"

  He looked coldly at the sky, his eyes seemingly able to see through everything.

  Four Floons were stirring up a storm.

  It seems there are Demon members lying in ambush here!

  Sure enough, tless demos charged out from the forest!

  These demos were all first-tier and sed-tier, initially thtened by human cultivators to e out.

  But now, they unched a desperate attack, and their numbers kept increasing!

  "Demos, all demos!"

  "Damn it, we've been ambushed!"

  "It's that bastard Lin Hao who led us here!"

  "That sdrel is indeed a spy for the Demon !"

  The cultivators' expressions ged drastically, defending against the demos' assault while cursing Lin Hao's shamelessness.

  They could only think that all of this was Lin Hao's doing.

  Otherwise, why would the Demon gather here?

  However, just as their suspis formed, they were immediately proven wrong.

  "A bunch of foolish humans, chasing after a young brat without realizing they've walked into a trap. Truly, the heavens favor us!" the old white tiger roared triumphantly.

  With over a thousae human disciples surrounded and attacked, the old white tiger felt immensely satisfied, eager to feast on these cultivators to avenge his son's death!

  "Sons, transform into your true forms and devour these damned human cultivators alive!"

  At the old white tiger's and, the demos transformed into their true Demon s, r as they charged at the human cultivators.

  Hiss!

  Roar!

  Tens of thousands, stretg endlessly!

  Seeing the dense mass of the Demon closing in, fear appeared on the faces of the disciples from various sects.

  How many demons are there?

  Ten thousand?

  Twenty thousand?

  ...

  Or a huhousand?

  The horde of demons charged in, like a releide!

  The disciples from various sects pahey did not fear the demons, but they did not want to be overwhelmed by the beast tide.

  Moreover, among the beast tide were third-tier demos, equivalent to humans at the Golden Elixir stage, while they were only at the Foundatioablishment stage. How could they resist?

  Snap!

  Someone pulled out a life-saving talisman, spiritual energy flowing from their fiips, activating it.

  Fear is tagious, and more disciples took out their talismans.

  Activating the talisman would disqualify them from the petition, but not doing so could meah.

  The disciples made their decision!

  Dozens of life-saving talismans were activated.

  In no time, a dozen guardian elders arrived.

  Seeing the beast tide, their faces froze.

  Damn Demon , ung a sneak attack!

  Who leaked information to the Demon ?

  Without an insider, no one believed the Demon would ambush the path ahead of the cultivators!

  But now was clearly not the time to pohis; they quickly joihe battle.

  Any dey, and those third-tier demos would kill many more disciples.

  Among the disciples, there were cowards, but there were also brave ones!

  "Damn Demon , do you think ambushing us here will defeat us?"

  "Whether this is Lin the demon's doing or not, the most important thing now is to sy the demons!"

  "Everyone, fight with all yht to sy the demons!"

  Su Mu, the prodigy from Wuji Sword Pace, unleashed several sword energies from beh his feet, cutting down swathes of first-tier demos like mowing grass.

  "You little bastard, prepare to die!"

  Nearly a hundred demons were sin in an instant, and the old white tiger roared in fury, transf into a six-zhang-long white tiger, ready to poun Su Mu.

  "Your oppo is me."

  A cold voice rang out.

  The old white tiger felt a sense of danger, instinctively turning to see a white-robed swordsman, holding a broad sword, charging towards him.

  Though the oppo was only at the Foundatioablishment stage, he gave the third-tier demo a sense of danger!
