Sha Jin and Hugo, along with six other leaders, had long been leading their soldiers, ready to strike.

Everyone watched as the two sides fought fiercely, locked in a stalemate. They then quietly moved their troops to the Tianhuo Mercenaries' logistics camp, waiting for orders.

At this moment, receiving Yang Fei's command, Sha Jin and his group immediately launched an assault on the Tianhuo Mercenaries' logistics camp.

Yang Fei and Nuannuan did not participate in the battle.

Yang Fei watched as Sha Jin's group easily captured the Tianhuo Mercenaries' logistics camp, grinning from ear to ear.

Yang Fei knew that after this battle, the so-called Tianhuo Mercenaries were finished.

The main force being annihilated, even if small groups remained, they couldn't stir up any great trouble.

Nuannuan, however, seemed sorrowful. After praying for Yang Xiao, she stood up and softly said,

"Uncle, let's go. I don't want to stay here anymore."

Yang Fei knew that Nuannuan was also from the Wu Clan.

Watching her clansmen being massacred, it was hard on her. He nodded to express his agreement.

The two didn't say goodbye to Sha Jin and Hugo, gathered their belongings, left the battlefield, and headed out of the Great Desert.

The two moved with care to avoid any retreating soldiers. After walking over ten kilometers, Nuannuan suddenly frowned and stopped, appearing somewhat panicked.

Yang Fei immediately noticed Nuannuan's unusual behavior, stopped, and supported her shoulder.

"What's wrong? You look really bad."

Nuannuan looked around nervously, as if she had discovered something terrifying. Her face turned pale as she murmured.

"They're here, they're finally here."

Yang Fei surveyed the surroundings. Apart from the retreating soldiers visible in the distance, he didn't see anyone or sense any powerful presence.

Nuannuan suddenly pushed Yang Fei urgently.

"Uncle, go quickly. If I find Dan Dan at the Ancestral Altar, I'll definitely save him. You can't handle this, just go!"

Ever since Yang Fei met Nuannuan, this cheeky girl was always fearless.

Even when Yang Xiao broke her limbs, she remained optimistic and cheerful.

Yang Fei had never seen Nuannuan so panicked before, and he frowned deeply.

"Nuannuan, if you still consider me a friend, please tell me what's going on. Who's coming?"

"A Witch King is coming. Uncle, the Witch King is the most terrifying master among the Wu Clan, second only to the Sect Hierarch. You can't defeat him, go quickly."

Yang Fei snorted, "No matter how powerful someone is, they can't scare me into running. How do you know a Witch King is coming?"

Nuannuan took a deep breath, "I have a feeling, I know there must be a Witch King nearby, you won't understand."

"The stronger the Witch King, the greater his pressure. You're not part of the Wu Clan, you can't sense the Witch King's presence."

"But I already feel it. The Sect Leaders of the Twelve Branches are all Witch King level masters, though I don't know which Branch Leader is here."

Yang Fei somewhat understood, and laughed lightly.

"I get it, but if we leave, we leave together. How can I leave you behind? Uncle isn't someone who abandons others."

Nuannuan sighed.

"Uncle, I've been targeted by them. I'll distract them, I hope you can do something for me."

Yang Fei saw the resolute look in Nuannuan's eyes and shook his head.

"We'll leave together, don't worry. Even if the Witch King is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, I have ways to deal with him."

Yang Fei said this while fiddling with the heavy sniper on his back, coldly stating,

"With this heavy sniper, I'll slaughter Buddhas if they stop me, Gods if they block me."

Nuannuan was speechless. This guy seemed smart, but at this moment, he turned into a fool.

Martial Arts Masters' speed and reactions are ten times, even a hundred times beyond ordinary humans.

And Martial Arts Masters beyond the True Martial Realm are unimaginably powerful, ordinary bullets are almost ineffective against them.

Yang Fei isn't unaware of these truths, how could he not grasp it now?

In a rush, Nuannuan tugged at Yang Fei's hand, urging him to leave quickly.

"Uncle, don't dawdle. When the Witch King appears, you won't be able to leave."

Saying this, Nuannuan threw the backpack from her back to Yang Fei.

"I'm asking you to do only one thing. Please take the Dreamlike Golden Butterfly in this backpack to the person named Wu Lao on Holy Peak, she will tell you what to do, remember."

Saying this, the little girl's eyes reddened, she suddenly pecked Yang Fei on the cheek, reluctant to part.

"Uncle, I've been very happy being with you, thank you."

Yang Fei was bewildered and confused.

"Nuannuan, what trick are you up to? Weren't you going to the Holy Peak with me to find Dan Dan?"

Nuannuan shook her head repeatedly, "Uncle, there's no time for more talk."

"Dan Dan must have been taken to Holy Peak, if you want to save him, go there."

"I've left a map in the backpack, follow the arrow to find the Holy Peak and the Ancestral Altar."

Hesitating, Yang Fei watched as Nuannuan's face changed, she suddenly drew a dagger, pointing it at her throat.

"Uncle, if you don't leave, Nuannuan will have to die before you, go, I sense the Witch King heading this way."

Seeing the little girl's determination, Yang Fei sighed.

"Alright, I promise you, we'll meet at Holy Peak."

He said this and, without further delay, took large strides westward.

Nuannuan watched Yang Fei's departing figure, tears finally rolled down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry, Uncle, I can't drag you down anymore, hoping you'll find your friend soon, may everyday be happy and joyful."

Saying this, she suddenly turned and dashed eastward, in the exact opposite direction of Yang Fei.

Nuannuan sprinted about five kilometers, feeling a heavy pressure weighing upon her, the sense of foreboding intensified.

It was at this moment that a raspy yet authoritative voice emerged from the nine o'clock direction, seven to eight hundred meters away.

"Nuannuan, where are you going? Come over here!"

Nuannuan looked up and saw an elderly man with an ancient face wearing a white headscarf, calmly watching her.

Startled, she slowly raised her head, forcing a smile.

"Grandpa Gonggong, why are you here? Such a coincidence!"

Grandpa Gonggong let out a long sigh, somewhat helplessly.

"What's coincidental about it, I came here on purpose to find you, Nuannuan, you've caused big trouble this time, all the Wu Clan people view you as a great enemy."

Nuannuan scoffed dismissively.

"I don't see it as my fault, the ones truly wrong are you in the Twelve Branches."

Gonggong sighed again, "The clan is full of wise men, whether right or wrong is not for you, a child, to worry about. Come back with me?"
