Chapter 374: The Death of Sect Leader Su Hong

Before daybreak on the second day, Ye Chen and his companions had partaken in a simple breakfast and set out on their journey. They had already known what had transpired in Immortal City—the Mitra Monk leading his people on a deadly march towards it. The city was in imminent danger, and they wished nothing more than to reach it as soon as they could.

But by noon, they had come in contact with the Zen Master's people. The Zen Master had come seeking battle, effectively stalling their progress. Ye Chen instantly understood their aim and said, "Their goal is to stop us from reaching Immortal City. We must find a way to elude them."

Despite realizing the intentions of the Zen Master and his followers, breaking away from their exertion wasn't easy. They were many in number, and despite previous battles that had reduced their troop by around three hundred, the remaining seven hundred were still a force to be reckoned with.
