Chapter 308: Dead End
Although the spiritual boat beneath Ren Yuning was damaged, it was still a magical item and moved quite swiftly, with an automatic repair function.
As they passed through Wind Bell Canyon, the two pursuers behind them likely wouldn’t catch up.
Now, they could only wait until they left the canyon to take action again.
The spiritual boat created a series of whooshing sounds as it sped along.
These sounds echoed through the canyon, blending into a clear and melodious wind chime sound.
Ji Yang on the spiritual boat felt quite amazed and carefully examined the rock walls on either side. He soon realized that the sound came from a certain plant; whenever the wind blew, the plant swayed and produced the pleasing sound.
It seemed this was the unique feature of Wind Bell Canyon.
While Ji Yang leisurely took in the surroundings, Ren Yuning had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, focusing solely on piloting the spiritual boat through the canyon.
Before long, the exit came into view.
“Feng Yu, the exit is right ahead! Hold on tight; I’m going to speed up!” Ren Yuning reminded him.
Ji Yang nodded, about to respond, when his gaze shifted to the sides of the exit.
Unbeknownst to him, two figures were already waiting there.
These two wore the same clothing as the ones chasing them, clearly indicating they were part of the same group and at similar cultivation levels.
This made for a total of four cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Stage, and their strength could not be underestimated.
Ren Yuning also spotted the two waiting at the exit, her expression changing. If they rushed out like this, she and Ji Yang would likely be intercepted before they even reached the door.
Especially now that the spiritual boat was damaged, its defensive formations were severely weakened, making a forceful breakthrough impossible.
Though the boat could repair itself, this process would not be quick.
However, Ren Yuning quickly came up with a solution: since they had nowhere to escape, they would go up!
Having flown low just to appreciate the Wind Bell Canyon’s view, she hadn’t gone too high, and with the two pursuers behind and the tall rock walls beside them, they had refrained from ascending.
But now, the space above offered an excellent escape route.
Ren Yuning once again manipulated the spiritual boat, transforming it from a level flight into a blade that soared into the clouds.
Ji Yang sensed Ren Yuning’s intention and firmly anchored his feet on the deck of the spiritual boat, preventing himself from being thrown off by inertia.
However, Ji Yang felt that the situation might not be as simple as it appeared.
Indeed, Ji Yang’s suspicion proved correct!
Just as the spiritual boat ascended, trying to break free from the canyon, an invisible formation suddenly blocked their way.
Upon closer inspection, they saw that enemy formations had already been set up in advance on the rock walls above the canyon.
It seemed this was why the pursuers behind had not rushed to attack; they had already anticipated this and prepared a trap ahead. Now, there was nowhere to escape.
The spiritual boat halted abruptly mid-air, and the four cultivators quickly surrounded them.
Seeing there was no way out, a look of seriousness crossed Ren Yuning’s face.
At this moment, Ji Yang began to assess the strength of the four individuals.
Aside from the earlier cultivator at the Early Stage of Spirit Transformation and the one at the Mid Spirit Transformation realm, the two new arrivals were also quite powerful, with one being a cultivator at the Late Spirit Transformation realm!
It seemed that the four of them had come specifically to target Ren Yuning, and she had unexpectedly fallen into this disaster.
At this moment, Ji Yang was weighing whether to abandon Ren Yuning and escape on his own or to act recklessly, taking her away first and then continuing with the previous plan.
Although Ren Yuning had valuable items on her, it didn’t seem worth it to fight against four cultivators of the same level for merely these possessions.
As for leaving Ren Yuning behind and fleeing, it was unlikely that the four would let him go easily.
They had worked hard to corner Ren Yuning, so they certainly wanted to contain the situation here and wouldn’t allow him to escape.
After a moment of indecision, Ji Yang decided to observe for a while.
Ren Yuning surely had some skills and escape methods, after all, she was the Holy Maiden of the demonic path!
The four of them, after blocking Ji Yang and Ren Yuning, did not rush to close in but maintained a cautious distance, clearly having their own concerns.
After all, those who would intercept someone, knowing Ren Yuning’s identity, were not naive.
“Miss Ren, I suggest you surrender,” said the cultivator at the Late Spirit Transformation realm, stepping forward.
“We only seek wealth, and if you are willing to give up, we won’t harm you!”
Ren Yuning let out a cold snort and did not respond.
Though she hadn’t spent much time outside her sect, being from the Demonic Sect, she surely knew these tricks.
Seeing the four blocking her from all sides but not advancing, Ren Yuning understood what they were worried about.
Just as she was escaping, she had attempted to send a Transmission, but it was clearly futile; they had set up formations in advance to intercept her messages.
Now with only a cultivator at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul, Feng Yu, by her side, it was evident that they couldn’t win; they could only flee!
Thinking this, Ren Yuning whispered, and Ji Yang heard her low voice:
“Feng Yu, when I make my move, you must hold on to me! Remember, remember!”
Hearing the Transmission, Ji Yang’s expression changed, and he nodded repeatedly.
Indeed, Ren Yuning was about to use her life-saving abilities.
He couldn’t wait to see what power she would unleash!
At the same time, the four cultivators also keenly sensed Ren Yuning’s quiet Transmission. The leader among them, the Late Spirit Transformation realm cultivator, changed his expression slightly and then no longer hesitated. He turned to his companions and said:
“Let’s all attack together! Even if she has magical tools, can she really take out all four of us?”
“Agreed!” the other three replied in unison, and they all launched their attacks!
On the spiritual boat, Ren Yuning maintained a calm demeanor, showing no signs of panic in the face of the combined assault from the four.
As the four moved in to strike, Ren Yuning had something new in her hand.
It was a dim, yellow oil lamp.
The lamp’s surface was ancient and dull, with the wick flickering uncertainly, as if the dying flames were about to extinguish.
Upon seeing this item, the others instantly recognized it as an Ancient magical tool!
Though they didn’t know its specific powers, Ren Yuning’s producing it meant it was certainly not an ordinary item.
Feeling an urgency, they hastened their attacks!
As Ren Yuning infused her magic into the oil lamp, its yellow light suddenly grew very bright, causing waves of energy to ripple through the surrounding space. Then she shouted:
“Junior Brother! Hurry!”
Ji Yang froze for a moment, but when he saw Ren Yuning’s figure flicker as if she was about to vanish, he quickly stepped forward to grab her.
If Ren Yuning escaped, not only would he not get anything, but he’d also have to stay and fight against the four!
Ji Yang definitely wouldn’t allow that to happen!
As Ji Yang caught her sleeve, the attacks from the four arrived, and the already damaged spiritual boat was instantly shattered into numerous pieces!
