Chapter 617: Chapter 262: Picking Peaches?

After speaking, Qin Fang turned around decisively.

"Junior Brother?"

Senior Brother Zhuang and the others were startled.

’...He’s leaving just like that?’

Qin Fang sent a Transmission: "They came prepared and are far stronger than us. All fifteen of them are in the Guizhen Realm. We’ll definitely lose a direct fight. Let’s retreat for now. I have a plan."

Hearing Qin Fang’s words, the four of them immediately quieted down. They glanced at the disciples from the Three Sects, then, without another word, followed Qin Fang and shot into the sky.

This reaction, however, left the members of the Three Sects a little stunned.

Someone sent a Transmission: "We’re just letting them leave?"

Young Master Lin’s brow furrowed. Before he could speak, a sinister voice interjected, "Though that kid’s Cultivation is only at the Divine Illumination Realm, his Profound Nether Nature has an extremely high Level. For him to leave so decisively, he must have realized the situation is against them, but he definitely won’t let this go. If you ask me... we should keep them here."

Young Master Lin was just about to speak.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light shot straight for him.

His pupils shrank abruptly. The next moment, Sword Gang surged from his body, coalescing into a point of Sword Aura as he raised his hand and thrust it forward.

With a loud BANG, a deafening roar echoed out.

The two streams of True Gang collided in mid-air and annihilated each other. Instantly, a shower of Ice Crystals and sharp Golden Light filled the area... Nearby rocks were shattered, and trees and plants were snapped in two.

Young Master Lin’s expression turned grim as he looked up into the sky.

Qin Fang glanced back, his voice cold. "I gave you what you wanted. Push your luck, and people will die."

He then cast a cool glance toward the members of the Shadowless Sect and Fuling Hidden Dragon Hall.

This caused the disciples of both sects to scowl.

But when they saw the large patch of black Ice Crystals from the collision and glanced at the frozen Elephant Demon, they hesitated for a moment.

Taking advantage of their hesitation, Qin Fang had already turned and flown far away with his senior brothers and sister.

...Moreover, he wasn’t flying straight toward the entrance, but laterally.

After flying a certain distance, he looked back. Once he confirmed no one was following, Qin Fang stopped and said, "Senior Brother, you and the others should leave now."

Senior Brother Zhuang and the others didn’t look pleased. Hearing this, they asked in surprise, "Junior Brother?"

Qin Fang said calmly, "Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I’ll be blunt... The Three Sects have teamed up. They know that the Grotto Heaven Master’s Treasure appears after a True Blood. Moving together makes us too big of a target. I need to act alone."

His words made the senior brothers and sister tense up slightly.

They opened their mouths to say something, but then stopped...

Then, a look of resignation appeared on their faces...

...Clearly, they were being seen as a burden.

Although they were all Guizhen Realm Martial Artists, they were only considered average among those in the Guizhen Realm.

Everyone here was a Returning True Martial Artist... They really didn’t stand out among them.

’At best, we’re slightly above average, maybe?’

...But that was meaningless.

Just like before, when the Three Sects were pressuring them, if they hadn’t held back and a fight had broken out... at least two or three of the four of them would have likely died.

But Qin Fang was different...

In terms of pure Cultivation, he hadn’t even reached Guizhen.

But in terms of actual combat ability, he was far stronger than them.

All of his various Leaf Skills were at the Perfection stage.

Most importantly, there was his Profound Nether Nature... He could kill five True Returning Great Demons all by himself, and with ease.

His combat power was in a league of its own.

’...In that situation just now, if he hadn’t been worried about us being there, Junior Brother probably wouldn’t have chosen to leave right away.’

So, although Qin Fang’s "desperate times call for desperate measures" was hard to hear...

...they had to admit...

’...it seems we really are holding him back, aren’t we?’

After a long moment of conflicted expressions, Senior Brother Zhuang finally sighed softly. "Alright then, Junior Brother Qin, you must be careful... We’ll head out first and inform the Sect of the general situation here."

Seeing his senior brothers agree, Qin Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

’To be honest, I didn’t want to be so blunt either. It’s a bit hurtful, after all.’

But the situation was what it was.

In the current circumstances, his senior brothers and sister really couldn’t do much.

Especially now that they had started encountering True Blood Great Demons.

In a few hours, other True Blood Great Demons might appear near them...

He was planning to have some "fun" with the Three Sects now...

He simply didn’t have the energy to spare to look after his senior brothers and sister.

The fact that they were willing to listen to his advice and leave was a great relief to Qin Fang.

Finally, he looked at Senior Sister Ji and said earnestly, "Senior Sister, thank you for what you did just now... Is your injury okay?"

’...If Senior Sister hadn’t saved me just now, I’d be seriously injured at the very least.’

’...The power of that Elephant Demon’s kick was immense.’

Senior Sister Ji clutched her shoulder and gave a wry smile. "Junior Brother, your Profound Nether Nature is truly amazing... But it’s fine. You’ve already absorbed the True Gang, so there’s no residue left. I’ll just need to rest a bit."

"If we stay, we’ll indeed become your weakness, Junior Brother... But you need to be careful too, Junior Brother... There are many of them, and they’re all at least in the Guizhen Realm. You can’t underestimate them. Don’t take any risks unless you’re absolutely certain."

Senior Sister Ji urged.

Qin Fang nodded. "I understand. Senior Brothers and Sister, hurry. If you run into another True Blood Great Demon on the way, don’t get entangled with it... The exit shouldn’t be too far from here. Just leave directly."

When they were heading deeper in, they had to stop and observe from time to time, so their flying speed wasn’t that fast.

But on the way back, they were flying at top speed the entire time.

So they really weren’t too far from the exit.

"Don’t worry about that. At worst, we still have our Guizhen Cultivation. It’s not like we can’t even manage to escape."

Senior Brother Zhuang said.

After exchanging a few more words, they said that upon leaving, they would report everything that had happened here to the Sect Leader and their master.

With that, the four of them turned and flew off into the sky.

After watching the four of them leave, Qin Fang let out a soft breath.
