Lin Bai grasped the ring in his hand, but before he had time to investigate, Situ Yuntian and his group had already charged forward.

Situ Yuntian looked at Lin Bai coldly, snorting, as a massive surge of spiritual power rolled off him, immediately blasting toward Lin Bai's body.

Szzz—

Lin Bai's eyes flashed with astonishment as the Qingmu Divine Thunder within him gathered uncontrollably, transforming into a shield of lightning before him. All of a sudden, he heard a thunderous boom as a punch shattered the lightning shield and simultaneously sent Lin Bai flying.

Pu chi!

Spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, Lin Bai was flung away, his face showing an expression of incredulous shock.

"That was close! Luckily, the Qingmu Divine Thunder blocked most of the force..." Lin Bai's eyes flickered, realizing he was no match for Situ Yuntian, and using the momentum, he flew away, turning into a streak of light headed out of the mountain range.

Situ Yuntian naturally wouldn't let Lin Bai escape so easily. Along with the other four, despite their injuries, they quickly pursued Lin Bai, transforming into a streak of light, disappearing into the mountain range.

Lin Bai's expression was solemn, not daring to let his guard down even slightly.

In an instant, Lin Bai reached the edge of the mountain range, where a large number of Martial Artists of the Eastern Courtyard were stationed.

Seeing Lin Bai rushing toward them, these martial artists from the Eastern Courtyard also showed a hint of astonishment on their faces.

Situ Yuntian urgently shouted, "Stop him!"

The martial artists on the edge of the mountain range, upon hearing Situ Yuntian's voice, were taken aback: "This voice sounds like Senior Brother Situ's!"

"Senior Brother Situ is chasing this person!"

"Why?"

"Stop him!"

"He's from the Southern Yard!"

"Stop him!"

Immediately, the martial artists from the Eastern Courtyard snapped out of it and drew their weapons, attacking Lin Bai. Among them, a few even had cultivation of the seventh or eighth level of the Life-and-Death Realm, incredibly powerful in strength.

For a moment, fist techniques, sword aura, and blade techniques roared toward Lin Bai.

Lin Bai's eyes flashed, gripping the Demonic Sword tightly in his hand. He immediately unleashed a sword strike, and a heaven-reaching sword aura, like the dawn tearing through the heavens, slashed through the dozen or so Eastern Courtyard martial artists in front of him with unstoppable force.

"Seeking Dragon!"

Simultaneously, an exclamation escaped Lin Bai's mouth.

"What a powerful sword!"

"Quick, dodge!"

"Everyone, dodge!"

Under Lin Bai's sword strike, the martial artists from the Eastern Courtyard cried out in shock.

With one sword strike, three of the weaker martial artists were killed on the spot, and the rest, even those at the eighth level of the Life-and-Death Realm, were forced back by Lin Bai's sword strike.

Lin Bai carved out a breach and quickly leaped out.

"Damn it!" Situ Yuntian cursed, not slowing his pace, as he continued to chase after Lin Bai.

The four Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm martial artists following Situ Yuntian said, "Senior Brother Situ, we paid a heavy price dealing with that monster. Now we are all seriously injured. If we continue the pursuit, encountering the saints from other monasteries could be dangerous for us."

Situ Yuntian said coldly, "I can't care about so much. The treasure we secured at such a heavy price was actually snatched away, and I can't swallow this anger!"

"Moreover, that ring is highly likely to be the Ruyi ring, and I must obtain it!" Situ Yuntian gritted his teeth and said.

"The Ruyi ring?" The other four said with some confusion.

Situ Yuntian said coldly, "The Ruyi ring is one of the treasures within the Demon Sect, a quasi-king level spiritual tool. After injecting spiritual power, it can have a teleportation effect. How could I let go of such a treasure?"

Situ Yuntian roared angrily.

As he spoke, Situ Yuntian took out several Elixir Pills from the Storage Bag and swallowed them, continuing to chase Lin Bai.

Upon hearing Situ Yuntian's words, the other four also realized the value of the ring, and naturally unwilling to miss it, they gritted their teeth, took out their Elixir Pills, swallowed them immediately, and followed Situ Yuntian to chase after Lin Bai.

Swoosh—

After breaking through the encirclement of the mountain range, Lin Bai did not pause at all, racing forward at full speed.

In the midst of speeding, Lin Bai occasionally glanced back, seeing Situ Yuntian leading those four Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm martial artists relentlessly chasing, clearly having no intention of letting Lin Bai go.

"It seems they don't plan on letting me go easily." Lin Bai took out a Heaven Elixir from the Storage Bag; after swallowing it, the spiritual power within him immediately recovered, and he continued to speed forward.

In the Divine Demon Secret Realm, Lin Bai charged around heedlessly, having no idea where to go. He only wanted to escape Situ Yuntian's pursuit!

As Lin Bai raced, he also found many martial artists.

Only now, these martial artists were all heading in one direction.

"Why are there so many martial artists heading in one direction?"

"Could it be something has happened?"

Lin Bai looked around in surprise, discovering many martial artists rushing in this one direction.

Lin Bai was somewhat puzzled, but his eyes flashed as he said, "No matter why these martial artists are heading in one direction, with so many gathering, it might give me a chance to escape Situ Yuntian's pursuit in the chaos!"

After a brief thought, Lin Bai turned into a streak of light, heading straight forward, swiftly blending into the mass of martial artists, disappearing from sight.

Lin Bai also followed these martial artists, heading in this direction.

About half a day later, the vast mass of martial artists gathering from all directions stopped before a broken city.

Lin Bai happened to be among them.

"This place is..."

Lin Bai looked up to see a city in front of him, its earth-yellow city walls showing mottled traces of time, filled with a thick aura of death, with sword and knife marks visible all over the walls.

Slightly surprised, Lin Bai noticed that the martial artists were all outside the city walls, not stepping inside.

"Could this be...the City of the Living Dead that Master Fang mentioned?" Lin Bai said in utter surprise.

Roar, roar, roar—

At this moment, low growls emanated from within the city.

The sound was identical to the noise he heard from the demon corpse before.

At this moment, voices from the surrounding martial artists started echoing.

"There are so many demon corpses in this city!"

"I wonder if they still have Storage Bags on them!"

"There must be a lot of treasures in this city!"

"Charge!"

"Go inside and seek treasures!"

Immediately, some martial artists couldn't hold back and rushed toward the city, crossing the city gate and entering it.

Lin Bai was still hesitating, but at this moment, when he looked back, he saw Situ Yuntian and the other four Great Perfection Life-and-Death Realm warriors of the Eastern Courtyard had already caught up behind him.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Situ Yuntian found Lin Bai and immediately roared.

"I can't worry about so much now, let's get inside first!" Lin Bai gritted his teeth and dashed toward the city!
