Chapter 1310
The prismatic light shining from the Interdimensional Phantasm began to fade away at Bai Yunfei’s command, leaving behind a small mirage-like squirrel in its place . Once all of the light was gone, the squirrel then disappeared into the Core World .
Everyone was back within the imprisoning array .
“People are coming!!”
Bai Yunfei had only just stored the Interdimensional Phantasm when Shen Pojun let out a warning growl .
He grew alert at once . Whirling around to the direction Shen Pojun was staring at, Bai Yunfei was bewildered to see a group of people coming at them!
“It’s Shangguan Xiongyan and Gu Jimie!! But…how did they get here?!”
He didn’t know why or even how these people were here . And why now of all times!
“How did they even get here?! Were…did they follow us?! But how?!”
There were too many questions and far too few answers for this situation! It also didn’t really matter now how they got here . They were here now and that was the most important part! At the time of their weakest hour, more enemies were somehow here!
Thank the heavens that they managed to kill Gu Lianhun . It frightened Bai Yunfei to think of what if this new group arrived while Gu Lianhun was still alive . They wouldn’t stand a chance! It was some consolation, but not enough to relieve Bai Yunfei . Shen Pojun and the Frostfeather Saint were definitely not in any state to continue fighting!
It would be extremely hard to win under these conditions!
That wasn’t even the worst part . Bai Yunfei felt Shangguan Xiongyan and Gu Jimie’s auras, but there was also a third aura that was even stronger than them!
There was another Saint!
“What…what do we do?!”
He felt an indescribable amount of panic begin to rise in his heart . Desperately, Bai Yunfei wracked his mind to think of something they could do .
“It’s Shangguan Xiongyan and Gu Jimie! How are they here?! And a third Saint! We can’t fight them! We must retreat!”
“Them?! And…a class nine soulbeast! This can’t be allowed, we must leave! Yunfei, take yourself into the Core World, we’ll carry the Core Stone and get rid of them!”
While Bai Yunfei was panicking, the voices of the Frostfeather Saint and Shen Pojun spoke into his mind . Their decisions were made far quicker than Bai Yunfei and were more decisive .
They both clearly knew their odds of winning in a battle were slim . Retreating was the correct choice here .
Bai Yunfei understood it as well . Ducking into the Core World and letting the Frostfeather Saint shake off the enemies was definitely the best choice . He nodded and began the preparations to bring everyone else into the Core World when…
……
On the other side, just moments before the Frostfeather Saint and Shen Pojun noticed them .
Shangguan Xiongyan was looking especially vicious at this moment . He had measured up the situation in front of him and realized now was the perfect opportunity to kill the enemies .
The Abyssal Snake Saint was in agreement with him . The pain was already receding from his eyes as he primed himself for battle .
“Teacher!!”
But it was Gu Jimie that was the only one that wasn’t ready . A loud wail of grief exploded out from him the moment he noticed the headless corpse of Gu Lianhun near Bai Yunfei .
The head was gone, but he recognized the person at once . That was his teacher!
Gu Jimie had previously been excited to see his teacher and was fully confident that he’d be alive when they arrived . He thought that he just needed to get there and they’d be able to coordinate with one another to easily kill Shen Pojun and the others . Then they could find the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance together and secure it for their side . With that, the Soul Refining School could flourish once again for a glorious comeback!
He just never imagined that in what should’ve been a touching reunion, he was reunited with the sight of his teacher’s corpse!
His teacher was dead!
Dead!!
“……”
Gu Jimie came to a standstill . The agony and grief he felt from the loss of his teacher abated and was immediately replaced by a wave of terror and panic!
Then he did something no one expected for him to do: He turned and ran!
It wasn’t a strategic retreat either, Gu Jimie was running as if he was being chased by his worst nightmare!
“You—” Shangguan Xiongyan whirled around, “Gu Jimie! What is the meaning of this!?”
“We have to run!!” Came the panicked reply, “We have to flee! Or else we’ll die!!”
“What?!”
Neither Shangguan Xiongyan nor the Abyssal Snake Saint understood what was going on—had Gu Jimie lost it after seeing the death of his teacher? Gu Lianhun was dead, yes, but the odds were in their favor . Killing Shen Pojun and the Frostfeather Saint wouldn’t be hard, why should they of all people run?
But as if to answer their questions, something strange caught the attention of Shangguan Xiongyan and the Abyssal Snake Saint . Their heads snapped back to where Bai Yunfei was with alarm . For a second, they remained still .
Then they turned tail and began to flee!
