The grass in the autumn was still soft, and when his feet stepped on the fertile soil of the forest, there was not a single sound. Coupled with the fact that there were no more noisy frogs by the river, this part of the world was deathly still.
"Lord … please … please save us!"
The staccato sound of a woman begging for help caused the air to be in a state of panic, disturbing the tranquility.
Chang Lou raised her head and saw a man and a woman rushing over.
The man and woman were probably hiding from the chase. The man and woman were handsome and beautiful. They were a perfect couple. However, they looked a bit embarrassed from the running away.
White bones could be seen from a wound on the man's chest, and even from the bloody hole in his chest, one could see what was behind him.
The woman was a little better. Apart from her clothes, which were covered in dust and colorful grass, her long hair and clothes were a little messy. Her breathing was a little hurried due to her fatigue, and her body was almost perfectly fine.
Their attire was all the same. There was a Taiji eight trigrams embroidered on the side of their green robes, and there was even a longsword drawn into the sky above their chests. It seemed that they were of the same sect.
"Enmity killing of the sect?" Chang Lou was secretly surprised. If the disciples from other sects weren't after treasures, then it meant that there were grudges between the sects.
This woman only had the strength of the first level of the Innate realm, and the heavily injured man was only at the fifth level of the Body Refinement Realm.
There was a lot of trouble with the sect, and they would just call people over when they were fighting. In his previous life, he had often encountered this kind of trouble, and it was not normal for him to find it annoying.
"This year, the age of a woman is only 17 or 18, her aptitude is not bad! He didn't look like a bad person, but who did he offend? However, looking at how they openly wandered around this Blood Flag Mountain wearing the clothes that had the sect's symbol on it, they should be an existence that could do whatever they wanted here. They would not hesitate to offend their sect and kill them even if they wanted to.
Chang Lou held onto the grilled fish, at a loss as to whether he should help them or not. If he did not help, his heart would not be able to bear it. If he did, who knew what great trouble would make him feel uncomfortable later on?
"Ugh!" My fish are all burnt! "
While thinking, Chang Lou suddenly smelled a burnt smell. Looking down, he saw that the fish had been stuffed into the fire and turned into charcoal.
"Sixty, this young man is still young. I'm afraid … he won't be a match for that thief. Let's just escape in that direction!" Don't involve him! "
The woman could clearly see that Chang Lou threw herself onto Yu Di and knew that this youngster who was even younger than her was going to stand by and watch without doing anything. Thinking of the other party's ruthlessness, she did not want that villain to harm this youngster again.
"En!" The man clutched his chest, made a difficult sound of acknowledgement, and turned to leave, crisp and swift.
The woman also turned around and left without the slightest bit of delay.
Chang Lou was a bit curious. "Are they trying to provoke me or do they not want to bring harm to others?"
They watched in silence as they walked slowly toward the river. The flowing river was calm now, as calm as their expressions were.
"They seem to be hiding underwater?" Cultivators could sense the surrounding area with their soul force. The stronger the strength, the stronger the perception of the soul. Generally speaking, even someone like him, who was at the pinnacle of the Congenital Realm, could only sense the area with a radius of thirty meters.
Those with strong abilities or those who cultivated hidden martial skills could isolate their own aura. Even if they were to stand in front of others, they wouldn't be able to sense their presence. It was truly astonishing.
Water can to a certain extent isolate people's primordial spirit recognition (abbreviation: spiritual sense). Chang Lou was at the third level of the Innate realm, so his soul was relatively strong. Right now, the range of his perception was around one hundred and sixty meters, but once he reached the third level of the Innate realm, his soul could only sense a thirty meter radius around him. This was one of the main reasons why underwater demon beasts were usually harder to kill than land demon beasts.
"The pursuers are here!"
Chang Lou's spiritual sense detected a person sneaking out of the forest. This person's spiritual sense was reserved, so he only noticed it when he was five feet away from the building.
He was not tall, but he was sturdy. On the right side of his face, there was a pockmark. His eyes were sunken, his nose was hooked, and his eyebrows were as black as ink. His moving ears were shaking non-stop, making him look like a demon.
He had long since noticed the building where they were lighting a fire to roast fish. He sized up the building and the Demon Punisher Master who was lying there trembling in his dreams before striding over with a plain saber in his hand.
"This kid is already at the third level of the Innate realm at such a young age. He's even roasted fish. It seems like he's a genius of some great sect. The one lying on the ground should be his guard. This kind of pretty boy would take that woman in, hmph! "Today's luck is really good. To be able to rob women and plunder money so early in the morning, it seems that I have to pay my respects to Martial Ancestor in the future. This is really good luck!"
"Young master, have you seen anyone before?"
As a veteran in the martial arts world, he knew that these proud, rooster like geniuses liked strangers the most.
"I've never seen it before!" Chang Lou rejected the idea flatly. "Did you see it or not? What can you do to me?"
This uncle should be in the Innate realm as well. It was impossible for an Innate realm expert to not be able to catch a body refining fifth level cultivator.
"Oh!" I've never seen it before! Then we will have to bother young master! "
The big man turned around and left without asking anymore. He looked like a person who had run into a wall and walked on the wrong path.
"Humph!" Those two really did come here! Otherwise, if I hadn't said whether someone was a man or a woman, I would've just denied it. It must be somewhere nearby! Since you want to protect the flower, then let's just treat it as spending dirt! "
The big man turned his head and glanced back, as if he was afraid of being cheated.
When Chang Lou saw him turn around, he glanced at the big man's dirty clothes in annoyance, pinched the tip of his nose and urged him to walk away.
"Hurry up and go!" I still want to roast some more fish, you stink so much, go away, don't disturb my appetite! "
However, the big man turned his head around, picked his nose and said respectfully to Chang Lou, "Young Master, I have something to ask you!"
Ugh! Chang Lou retched twice before waving his hand, "Hurry up and leave! Don't come over and bother laozi! "
"Young master, I will leave after I ask!" It won't take up too much of your time! "
Seeing that Chang Lou had been hit by his "disgusting attack", the big man pressed forward step by step. The hand holding Pu Dao in his right hand had already secretly exerted strength, ready to chop off Chang Lou's head at any time.
Chang Lou didn't notice at all that he was still retreating while waving him off.
"Everyone says, 'Even if you die from a peony flower, you can still be a ghost.' Young Master didn't even smell the fragrance of the flowers and you think it's a good thing that you died?"
The big man suddenly asked Chang Lou. His expression was serious, and Chang Lou couldn't help but be stunned.
"Go ask hell to slowly think about it! After death you will have plenty of time! "
The big man took advantage of the moment Chang Lou's mind went blank and suddenly brandished his blade. The long blade reflected the sunlight and gave off a cold glow. It was a viper dragon that wanted to take one's life.
