The moon and stars still shone through the night, it was between 3 to 4 PM, the wind was passing through the trees making whistling noises, it was a typical cold night in the forest.
Near the dark abyss, orange light was illuminating a small part of the floor full of grass and stones, the cold wind came from the abyss made the fire dance in the night.
By the fire seated in some formless stones, there was a group of young man, one of them was using a wood stick to poke the firewood, as the others were making a meat barrier with their own bodies, but it wasn't enough, the cold wind brought by the abyss was strong enough to make the fire crackle.
Yue was on the nearest tree she could hide, she didn't know for sure how much time she spent here watching those guys fighting to make a single fire camp, she knew she had to do something and make those guys leave this spot. This sport was important because it was where that witch saw Shi's and Cuifen fall.
In Yue mind, she was praying for them to not know this exact location so if she could make them leave, she was buying time for them who she was assuming were live, it was weird for her to feel this way, one was a woman she wanted to evade at all costs, she didn't want her secret to be known by more people.
And the other was a man who peeked at her and her partner. Putting her right hand on her temple she thought about it for a second before knowing it was the right thing to do, even if the guy peep he still saved Cuifen and helped other people at the sect, and there was that stupid oath.
As Yue was confused by her own thoughts another silhouette appeared in the woods, her black and red robe gave her an aggressive look, by her side a giant guandao was being held by the slender white hands of her, like it was weightless.
Liang sharp eyes were penetrating as always, even carrying that giant weapon her steps were soundless, like a cat, her muscles were aching at the slight movement but it wasn't enough to stop the bold and relentless woman and seeing that the young group at the campsite was formed by low realm disciples she didn't gave them any face.
Walking forward without any intention of hiding her presence, suddenly a great wolf with bloody eyes phenomenon emerged from her back scaring shitless the young men, the one with the wooden stick was none than Yong himself who was given the task to look for Shi but was procrastinating due to anxiety.
Seeing the elegant woman clad in black and red robe exuding a heavy killing intent coming at their sluggish campsite it was obvious to them her intention, seeing it was just a woman even if her killing intent carried a lot of blood it was one person anyway, but when they saw the bloody wolf surging all their courage got away and the only thing on their mind was 'how to escape'.
Seeing the woman going aggressively at their campfire Yue was with her mouth hanging open, it was like someone heard her prays and sent someone to help her she jumped off the branch she was hiding and also shot forward in their direction.
As she walked she started to circulate her star energy and a white fish phenomenon surged at her back, he was swimming in the air like the night was his river. Liang shot a glance at Yue before nodding at her who replied with a gentle smile, she was fond of the brave elder, she is a great woman who treated her with gentleness and kept her secret.
The baldie face got white in fright and he started to run, his direction, however, was the forest, he wasn't insane to try his luck in the dark abyss. The group of core disciples seeing Yong running didn't even think before doing the same thing. But sadly for them, Yue was already at their backs and Liang was even faster and was almost caught with Yong.
The young bald man could feel the guandao blade cutting the wind as Liang cut from above, clenching his teeth it was like darkness took possession of his eyes and every part of it became black, when his eyes were fully colored by it his form started to disappear in the shadows and his presence was gone, evading the giant blade for a hair.
The disciples of the Evil Cloud sect didn't care about Yong's escape and just kept running, but Liang and Yue are stunned at the sight of the baldie becoming a shadow before disappear. None of the two women is an inexperienced fighter and with a blink of their eyes, they became alert again and shot in the direction of the enemy.
Liang who was further away stomped the floor she felt her muscles throb in pain, but she ignored it if she didn't push herself too much was okay. This fight was an easy one a bunch of core disciples was easy for the elder and the moon girl sword.
After capturing one of them alive before killing the rest Liang was about to interrogate him, but Yue said there was no need she knew what they are doing and why. The moon woman only didn't know how to start, how could she say that the little sister of Liang fell together with that guy on the dark abyss?
But sadly for her Liang was in a hurry and seeing the young woman to hesitate she cut her mumbling with a loud "Spit it out already Yue" as her eyes penetrate the round face of Yue. "Sigh…" sighing in distress Yue started to say it, there was no need for her to hide it since Liang was going to found it sooner or later.
"So… when I got here by following them. I saw that foxy woman from their sect standing by the border looking at the abyss, that baldie said to her he was following that guy tracks, and the woman suddenly said… they… fell on the abyss" at first she was about to stutter but decided to 'spit it' as Liang said then she said it very fast trying to end it sooner.
The young elegant woman trembled at the shock, her right hand was blocking her mouth and her face was pure white, like the moon, Yue could see the water surging in her eyes, and with a shook of her head, she then said "Ahn… Elder Liang I… don't think they are dead… that guy he, he, he has some weird techniques, last time he could fight me who is at the 5th realm being at the peak of the 3rd and he also fought Linghu from the storm clouds, besides that he saved Cuifen" she started to speak faster and faster as her hands were moving awkward in the air like she didn't know if she hugged the shocked woman or held her to not fall on the floor.
