Chapter 2927
“Eldest Miss, the Land of the Far North is incredibly vast and seemingly endless. Finding someone here is quite a challenge, isn’t it?”
One of the Protectors spoke up!
“Protector Cang, let’s split up into three groups to search for them. Even if they try to escape, they won’t get very far,”
Linglong commanded decisively.
“Once we locate them, we must ensure we capture all of them. If we can’t manage that, then we must at least catch the child who knows how to reach the fire!”
“Eldest Miss, wait… this isn’t wise. If you act alone and encounter danger, the Demon Ancestor will hold us accountable,”
Protector Cang expressed his concern.
“Hmph! A handful of mere cultivators? There’s no need to be afraid. Even with the Demon Whip in our possession, what harm can they do?”
Linglong scoffed, her strength surging to the peak of the ninth rank in the Combined Body realm!
All she needed was an opportunity, and if she could find it, she would break through to the Transmigration Realm!
Once she navigated the treacherous challenges of the Transmigration Realm, she could ascend to become a half-step Demon Immortal!
This chance could be linked to Kai, the one who could access the fire!
Linglong’s gaze burned with determination!
“Of course, Eldest Miss is exceptionally talented; she has nothing to fear from a few insignificant human cultivators…”
Protector Cang hurriedly praised.
“Then let’s split up! If we allow these individuals to escape, we’ll all face the consequences if the master finds out!”
With that, Linglong took a powerful leap, vanishing into the snowy expanse!
The two guardians exchanged glances before heading off in different directions to begin their search!
Meanwhile, Kai and his companions were desperately trying to flee!
Since Kai had warned them about the strength of the pursuing demon cultivators, they understood the danger!
After running for some time, Kai halted, a frown marring his features.
“Mr. Chen, what’s the matter?”
Wajang inquired.
“We can’t just keep running like this. The enemy is powerful and is closing in on us from all sides!”
“Someone needs to stay behind to hold them off and buy time for the rest of us!”
Kai stated firmly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, silence fell over the group. Everyone understood that the person who stayed behind would likely not survive!
The tile jar glanced at Kai and then gritted his teeth, saying, “Mr. Chen, I’m willing to hold back the demon cultivators chasing us. You all need to escape quickly…”
Kai looked at Wajang and shook his head, “You can’t do that. Your strength isn’t enough; they’ll take you down with one blow!”
“We can’t hold them off for long!”
“I’ll stay, but I need a few more strong people to assist me.”
“Gao Qijie, Wajang, you take Ruyan and head west. Move quickly…”
After giving his orders, Kai scanned the faces of Old Sun, Old Kong, Zuo Qing, and Ji Yun, recognizing them as the strongest among them!
With Gao Qijie, Liu Ruyan, the tile jar, and others, if a real battle broke out, the aftermath could easily wipe them out!
“I won’t leave! I’m staying with you, Kai…”
Liu Ruyan refused to budge!
“Even if you stay, your presence won’t help and will only distract me. The weaker ones need to escape right away!”
“Those willing to assist me can stay, but let me be clear: if we don’t cooperate now, we’ll all end up as meals for those demon cultivators!”
Kai declared sternly.
“Brother Kai, I’m staying. Not only did you save my life, but it’s also my duty as a human cultivator to stand against these demon threats,”
Old Sun stepped forward, declaring his intention to stay!
Seeing this, Ji Yun also stepped up to remain!
Noticing that others were willing to stay, Old Kong and Zuo Qing exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, indicating they would also remain!
After all, strength lies in numbers, and they were among the mightiest in this group!
