"You four bastards! Stop right there!" the members of the Meishan Sect and the Wuyi Sect shouted in anger.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yifan and his companions looked back and saw the people from the Meishan Sect and the Wuyi Sect; they immediately realized they were in great trouble. They had enmity with them, and if caught, they were certainly doomed.
Thus, without a second thought, they quickly employed their qinggong to flee.
But as it happened, the people from the Meishan Sect and the Wuyi Sect also knew qinggong; facing the attack of so many, Lin Yifan and his companions couldn't run away.
Since they couldn't run, they had no choice but to enter the Misty Forest and look for an opportunity to act.
The enemy was too powerful, each sect's members could easily wipe them out; they mustn't confront them head-on.
Seeing Lin Yifan and his four-man team escape into the Misty Forest, the members of the Meishan Sect and the Wuyi Sect followed in pursuit.
The people from the Capital City's Ma Family, however, hesitated outside the Misty Forest, uncertain of what to do.
"Young Master, should we go in?" a Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouse inquired.
"Now that we've come this far, why not seek revenge? We must take back what belongs to us," Ma Gebi said with unwavering determination in his eyes.
Having said this, he took the lead and charged into the forest.
Meanwhile, the other organizations, sects, and clans hidden in the shadows stayed outside the Misty Forest, waiting to see if there might be any spoils to claim.
After leading the people from the Meishan Sect and Wuyi Sect into the Misty Forest, Lin Yifan and his companions began to enact their plan to trap these relentless cultivators using the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng.
They sent Li Dafeng out as bait to lure the enemy into pursuit; the others concealed their presence, hiding in the dark recesses of the Misty Forest.
Worried that the people from the Meishan Sect, the Wuyi Sect, and the Capital City's Ma Family wouldn't catch up, Li Dafeng intentionally slowed down to let them catch up.
Only when he felt the danger drawing nearer step by step did he make a quick move to the Endless Abyss.
After a while, when he reached the Endless Abyss, he immediately employed his qinggong and flew a short distance away, luring the pursuing cultivators to follow him. Then he took a sharp turn and flew back into the Misty Forest quickly.
He did not know how wide the Endless Abyss was, and if there were no objects in front of him to step on, his current qinggong skills would not allow him to reach the opposite cliff; so for the sake of his own life, he had to fly back.
The cultivators who were wildly chasing him, like cars reaching their speed limit, couldn't stop in time and fell into the Endless Abyss; only the Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouses just barely managed to return to the edge of the cliff.
However, as soon as these Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouses flew back, they were blocked by Li Dafeng, who stood on the edge of the cliff, and Lin Yifan, Lin Yanping, and Li Xiaofeng, who were hidden in the shadows; in the end, they too fell into the Endless Abyss.
The members of the Meishan Sect and the Wuyi Sect were almost entirely wiped out; and the subsequent forces from the Capital City's Ma Family, upon hearing continuous screams of terror ahead, halted their approach.
They didn't know what had happened, only that there must be a valley ahead because they could hear the echoes.
"What happened?" the people from the Capital City's Ma Family frowned, sensing an uneasy feeling.
"Young Master! Should we retreat?" a guard at the early stage of the Divinity Transformation First Realm inquired.
"What's there to fear? Perhaps those are the screams of those four bastards. We can't retreat; continue moving forward!" Ma Gebi ordered fearlessly.
The young master's order couldn't be defied by the guards; thus, they had to grimly proceed.
On the other side, after slaughtering the remaining forces of the Meishan Sect and the Wuyi Sect that lingered on the cliff's edge, Lin Yifan and his companions turned back along the path. But at that moment, they detected another group approaching their location.
After sensing the auras of this wave of troops, they discovered that the highest realm among them was at the Divine Transformation First Realm Early Stage, and they had the power to annihilate them.
"Young Master! There's no noise ahead; we should retreat," suggested the guards.
The further they advanced, the more their hearts tightened with fear, not knowing what dangers awaited them ahead.
"No noise means that the Meishan Sect and the Wuyi Sect people have won. We must go and give those four bastards' corpses a few more stabs, to quell the hatred in our hearts," Ma Gebi insisted on moving forward against the advice.
However, what he didn't know was that his voice had betrayed him.
Upon hearing Ma Gebi's voice, Lin Yifan and his party grew even more fearless.
"Since you folks from the Capital City Ma Family are seeking death, then don't blame us for being ruthless."
So the next moment, Lin Yifan and his party drew their weapons and waited in the utterly dark Misty Forest to carry out an ambush.
"Shi shi shi!"
In an instant, four cultivators from the Capital City Ma Family side had died, putting them at an instant disadvantage.
"Young Master! It's an assassination! Run!" Two guards at the Divine Transformation First Realm Early Stage immediately pulled Ma Gebi to start retreating.
As for Ma Gebi himself, he was dumbfounded and afraid; he had just experienced four of his guards inexplicably dying by his side, not knowing what had happened.
"Could it be that it's not those four bastards who are dead but the people from the Meishan Sect and Wuyi Sect?"
At this thought, he was completely shocked; he then yelled, "Run faster! Run fas..."
But before he could finish his sentence, a pure white sword mercilessly thrust into his body, causing him to lose his life instantly and die completely.
"Young Master! Young Master!" The two guards at the Divine Transformation First Realm Early Stage called out twice and finding no sign of life in Ma Gebi, they immediately dropped his body and fled on their own.
The enemy was hidden and they were exposed, placing them at a great disadvantage; therefore, they needed to leave the Misty Forest quickly.
However, how could Lin Yifan and his party give them the chance to escape? They split into two groups to chase down the two guards at the Divine Transformation First Realm Early Stage.
"Shi! Shi!"
The next moment, two crisp sounds rang out, and the two guards at the Divine Transformation First Realm Early Stage who were fleeing died instantly, devoid of any signs of life.
After dealing with the people from the Capital City Ma Family, Lin Yifan and his group collected themselves and left the Misty Forest.
At that time, the various factions hidden in the shadows were shocked; they had thought those emerging would be from the Meishan Sect, the Wuyi Sect, and the Capital City Ma Family, but instead, it turned out to be these four mysterious cultivators, truly formidable.
"Just what happened in the Misty Forest just now?" all the cultivators hiding in the dark pondered this question.
Without a doubt, the people from the Meishan Sect, the Wuyi Sect, and the Capital City Ma Family were all dead; otherwise, these four cultivators would not have emerged so easily.
Elsewhere, just as Lin Yifan had stepped out of the Misty Forest, a thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng squeezed out the opening of a silk pouch it was carried in.
At that moment, the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng popped its head out and shouted loudly, "Help! Help! I've been captured by these four traffickers, come and save me! Come and save me!"
It had heard the sounds of pursuit from within the silk pouch and thought Lin Yifan and his group were facing grave danger; so it desperately wrenched open the pouch to seize the opportunity to escape.
