C538 So It Was Not
The air around him froze.
In the next moment, he waved his hand and withdrew the formation, revealing himself.
Although they had long predicted that Chu Yan would make his move at the very last moment, both Hua Muyan and Qin Shishi secretly heaved a sigh of relief the moment he appeared.
In fact, they were worried that something might happen.
But from the looks of it, Chu Yan did indeed have a plan.
After exiting the short ruins, Chu Yan leapt onto the roof of a five story building not far away, and then looked into the distance.
Moments later, nine beams of light shot up from all over the ruins of Tianhan City.
Chu Yan's eyes focused and he instantly remembered these few positions. Then, like a meteor falling from high above, it crashed onto the ground and shook the earth until it split open. Dust flew everywhere as waves spread in all directions.
In the next moment, he moved as fast as lightning towards the nearest pillar of light.
...
Xu Shi held the Twin Blades Stinger in her hands as she stumbled and ran through the ruins.
In her arms was one of the nine jade plates that would make her famous.
Because of her running, the wound on her waist was torn open again. At the same time, fresh blood seeped out of it and dyed her red dress red, forcing her to stop and take the pill.
Looking around vigilantly, Xu Shi found a corner with a lee of wind and quietly squatted down. She then took out a porcelain bottle from the storage bag.
At this moment, she did not care about how many pills were in there. She immediately removed the stopper and poured a large mouthful into her mouth.
After a while, as the pain in her waist lessened, her face became a little better.
Breathing deeply, Xu Shi took out the jade medallion from her bosom, unconsciously revealing a smile on her face.
She didn't know about the others, but at least she had this jade plate in her hand from the beginning.
When the first pillar of light lit up and it was confirmed that she was holding one of the nine jade plates, Xu Shi swore that she would never let anyone else take it away from her.
An expert at the Large Success of Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage, in the ruins of Tianhan City, was not very prominent, and with her own strength, he was not considered the best amongst the disciples of the same level. However, with his ruthlessness and fighting prowess, she was still able to beat many of the robbers in a row and had kept his jade tablet up till now.
"As long as you can endure for two more hours and no one finds me, then I will definitely be one of the nine." When Xu Shi thought of this, her eyes were filled with determination.
Having persisted for so long, she definitely did not want to fail at the very last moment.
But it was her wishful thinking.
Just as she made her decision, Xu Shi suddenly felt a chill behind her back.
This feeling was as if something terrifying was firmly staring at her.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Shi felt all the hair on her body standing up and her scalp tingling.
She quickly turned around and looked ahead warily.
Suddenly, she saw a young disciple of the initial stage of the 1st level of Pulse Condensation Stage standing on a wall with her hands behind his back, looking at his indifferently.
Even though her opponent's cultivation level was lower than hers by one level, at the moment she was being stared at, Xu Shi felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, her body and soul engulfed and annihilated by endless darkness.
A cold chill seeped out of her bones and the blood in her entire body seemed to solidify. In just a short moment, cold sweat had actually soaked through her dress.
What was even more terrifying was that Xu Shi discovered that a wave of despair had already pervaded her heart. With just a single glance from the other party, she actually did not have any thoughts of resisting.
"He … He's going to take away my jade tablet!"
At this moment, Xu Shi's heart was filled with despair and unwillingness.
At this moment, Xu Shi saw the disappointment in her opponent's eyes and shook her head, "It's actually not."
"Hmm?" Xu Shi couldn't help but be stunned.
The other party seemed to be — searching for someone?
With that said, Xu Shi saw him fall from the wall and walk towards her.
Xu Shi's body involuntarily tensed up as she retreated a few steps.
This male disciple stopped not more than ten meters away from her, and then used a polite tone that Xu Shi had not expected to use to ask: "May I ask Senior Sister if you have seen Mei Yunpeng?
Xu Shi burst out into laughter at that.
But soon, she realized that it wasn't appropriate for her to smile at this moment.
But at the same time, Xu Shi's heart gave birth to a faint sense of anticipation.
The other party didn't seem to know that he had a jade plate?
However, in the next moment, Xu Shi's heart sank once again, "Senior Sister, I need to quickly answer my question. Otherwise, the guy who came to steal your jade token will come over. I just saw at least three people looking for you."
Hearing this, Xu Shi felt goosebumps all over her body.
Her eyes revealed dense fear as she looked at Chu Yan: "You, you know I do …"
"Or do you think?" The other laughed, "They will be here in about three to four minutes, so Senior Sister, tell me quickly if you see Mei Yunpeng or not, I am also in a hurry."
"I … I've seen it before." Xu Shi pointed in a direction, "Roughly four hours ago, I met Mei Yunpeng over there. However, after so long, whether he was still there or not, I don't know.
After she finished speaking, Xu Shi couldn't help but ask, "You know I have a jade plate, so why didn't you take it?"
"I only need one. Senior Sister, you can do it again. If you can persevere to the end, I'll leave first. I wish you good luck."
The male disciple smiled, turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
Looking at the other's back, Xu Shi suddenly had a strange feeling that she had never experienced before.
This feeling was like a strand of spring rain landing on a calm lake. Although it was barely discernible, it still made people's heartstrings twitch.
Finally, Xu Shi couldn't help but ask after his back, "Junior brother, what's your name?"
"Chu Yan." The other party's voice came from afar, and in the next moment, he disappeared from Xu Shi's line of sight.
"Chu Yan?" Xu Shi was startled at first, then exclaimed out loud, her gaze looking straight at the direction Chu Yan left in, "He's the Chu Yan who defeated the outer sect disciples while still in the 1st level of Pulse Condensation Stage?"
He didn't expect that since the other party had already advanced to the outer sect, it was normal for such a powerful disciple to stand in front of her and not be able to resist. Xu Shi's mood improved greatly with this thought.
But very quickly, she remembered the words Chu Yan had just reminded her.
"Damn it, I have to leave this place first!"
With that, she looked around, and quickly ran in the direction Chu Yan had just left in.
