Fairy Xuan Xueqi and Ye Fan were fleeing though the thick forests now.
Behind them, their pursuers were getting closer and closer.
Unlike their pursuers that could make haste as they used their swords to chop the floras that were blocking their way, Fairy Xuan Xueqi and Ye Fan were trying to shake them off.
Their plan was a little too successful and they had completely distracted their pursuers from the two maidens.
But still Fairy Xuan Xueqi had miscalculated the speed of their return.
With 2 golden celestials in their group and so many cultivators with them, even the Titan Wolverines had quickly retreated instead of forcing a fight with them.
Young Master Xi Wugui and Young Master Zheng Tianwu were quite appalled to find Elder Yan Daxia and all his proteges from the Lineart Sword Sect wiped out from the trial!
It seemed to them that someone else in the Aegean Alliance was also doing PK-ing as well.
Young Master Xi Wugui saw the tracks that were in the vicinity and he immediately said angrily, "Go after them quickly! They are not far off!"
They had only been away for a while and then the massacre had happened.
Young Master Zheng Tianwu from the Morjinn Martial Sect was also shouting angrily to his group, "How dare they start a massacre when we are around! This is too outrageous! I want them all to be dead!"
Elder Su Yiba who was also the highest level cultivator of the Morjinn Martial Sect and who was also a golden celestial began to say coldly, "Don't worry Young Master Tianwu, I will not spare them for this wickedness!"
As the two groups from the Divine Mist Peak and the Morjinn Martial Sect agreed angrily that they would rip this offender apart, they had forgotten that they were exactly what they had called the offender.
It was just that the tables were turned upon them.
The two groups wasted no time to pursue the tracks of their enemies; they were on an avenging pursuit now and anyone that dared to offend them would die the most horrible death!

It was not long before they saw two cultivators that were walking in the forest; they were actually Fairy Xuan Xueqi and Ye Fan.
When Young Master Xi Wugui, Young Master Zheng Tianwu and Elder Su Yiba chanced upon Fairy Xuan Xueqi, they were smiling immediately and they had halted from their pursuits.
Young Master Xi Wugui laughed softly, "So, who do we have here? It is none other than Fairy Xuan Xueqi and her protégé. Did you get lost from your group or they have all been killed?"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi gasped softly when she saw him and his group, "It is you?"
Ye Fan actually did not know whether to laugh or cry at her playacting.
He naturally knows that Fairy Xuan Xueqi was only pretending to chance upon them as she walked in the forest; it was because they know that they would not flee for much longer from their pursuers.
Ye Fan felt a little guilty because he was the one that had dragged down the speed of Fairy Xuan Xueqi and she had decided to change to another tactic because of him.
So he had suddenly said to her, "Protégé mistress, wait. I will only be putting you at risk due to my incompetencies… maybe you should go first instead while I delay them for you."
Fairy Xuan Xueqi turned to look at him with an upset look, "And leave you to die all by yourself? You are my only core protégé, do you think that I will leave you to die just like this?"
Ye Fan muttered weakly, "You can always find another core protégé…"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi had suddenly stepped on his foot and gave him an angry look, "What makes you think that I will have another core protégé in the future?"
Ye Fan blinked his eyes and were stunned by her words.
And for a while, they simply stared at each other while the clock began to tick urgently.
Fairy Xuan Xueqi was the first to break the silence, "What makes you think that I will leave you to die alone? If you are in trouble, I will also help to shoulder it with you."
Ye Fan was stunned again by her words.
It took him a while to regain his composure as he said, "Protégé mistress, why not…"
"I say no and I mean no." Fairy Xuan Xueqi interrupted him coldly.
Ye Fan laughed weakly, "I mean I have a plan. Do you want to listen to my plan?"
"A plan?" Fairy Xuan Xueqi asked curiously.
Ye Fan nodded, "That's right. Rather than continue to flee away from them and eventually get caught by them. Why don't we confront them?"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi was shocked, "Confront them?! Ye Fan, are you crazy? I can't beat them all at the same time."
Ye Fan smiled weakly, "I know. But why don't we pretend to be passersby instead?"
The beautiful eyes of Fairy Xuan Xueqi had suddenly shone brilliantly as she chuckled softly, "Why don't we pretend to be passersby instead? Although they may not believe us or will even try to harm us but it is better than being caught without an excuse."
Ye Fan slowly nodded, "That's right. It may be a gamble but at least, we can avoid their furies for the time being while we try to look for an opportunity…"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi immediately praised Ye Fan, interrupting him halfway, "Ye Fan, I didn't know that you are such a little good liar."
Ye Fan: …
And so they had turned back and pretended to walk casually in the forest until they were being stumbled upon by Young Master Xi Wugui, Young Master Zheng Tianwu, Elder Su Yiba and the rest of their group.
