A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 164

Chapter 162 Enough talk, let’s go!

“Come with me quickly, Nascent Soul cultivators will be chasing us soon,”

Gan Rushuang spoke first.

Her words startled Han Li.

He forcibly suppressed the hundreds of wind blades that were about to be unleashed:

“What do you mean?”

“Han Li, I don’t care why you’re here, I don’t care what your intentions are, now, leave with me immediately, I’m betraying the Hidden Moon Sect,”

the woman said urgently.

“Betray the Hidden Moon Sect?”

What’s going on?

Han Li, who had concealed his cultivation and only displayed the peak of Qi Refining level, was full of suspicion.

“Let’s go quickly.”

As Gan Rushuang spoke, she had already headed down the mountain.

Along the way, she didn’t secretly send any cryptic messages or signals, nor did she make any other small moves. She didn’t even make a move. She really seemed to be in a hurry to run for her life.

And because of this, Han Li didn’t rush to kill her.

What kind of trouble could a mere late-stage Core Formation cultivator cause in front of him?

“Are you really going to betray the Hidden Moon Sect? Why?”

Han Li, who was walking briskly, suddenly became interested.

“The sect is already trying to sell me for a good price, how could I just sit here and wait to die?”

“No matter what, you are a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and a late-stage Core Formation cultivator with the potential to condense a Nascent Soul. The Hidden Moon Sect shouldn’t be pushing you out, right?”

Han Li raised an eyebrow.

Gan Rushuang’s face fell upon hearing this.

She had always believed that the Grand Elder wouldn’t push her out for the sake of the sect’s inheritance.

But she had ultimately overestimated the value of Core Formation cultivators in front of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Perhaps it was because her master was injured and couldn’t recall the Grand Elder who was fighting the Mulan people on the front lines before he passed away, and because he thought highly of her, he bestowed some of his cultivation upon her, helping her advance from the mid-stage Core Formation to the late-stage Core Formation, thus incurring the Grand Elder’s wrath.

Or perhaps, the Grand Elder received an irresistible huge benefit from the Wei family of the Transformation Intent Sect, and thus used her as a bargaining chip.

Regardless, it’s an undeniable fact that she was abandoned by the two Nascent Soul stage leaders of the Hidden Moon Sect.

“You didn’t tell any third party our little secret, did you?”

Han Li suddenly interjected.

This was crucial.

If Gan Rushuang had already revealed the secrets of the Crimson Forbidden Land and the ancient teleportation array to others, then killing her now would be pointless.

“So, you infiltrated the Hidden Moon Sect this time for me? I guess you wanted to scheme against me, trick me into leaving the Hidden Moon Sect, and then kill me to silence me, right?”

“Uh…!” He

couldn’t answer that.

Because that was indeed one of his plans.

For a moment, he didn’t want to waste any more words, thinking of simply killing her and leaving quickly, ending it all.

If he were at the Core Formation stage, he certainly wouldn’t hesitate.

Now, at his Nascent Soul stage, he was bold and skilled enough not to mind letting her say a few more words before she died.

After all, the initiative was in his hands.

“Looks like I guessed right.”

Gan Rushuang was inwardly annoyed, and also thought to herself that this little guy was overestimating himself.

Over a hundred years had passed, and her cultivation had risen from the early stage of Core Formation to the late stage. Even if this kid had luckily reached Core Formation, even if he had advanced further to the mid-stage, how could he possibly be her match?

In her eyes, this former junior, apart from his decent concealment technique and some unique skills, was still mediocre in other aspects.

To think he could ambush her was utterly foolish

. In short, at this moment, both of them were extremely confident.

They both firmly believed that they were the ones in control and in control.

“Don’t worry, I haven’t told anyone your two secrets. I’m not like some people who can be so ruthless,”

Gan Rushuang said.

Han Li didn’t feel embarrassed at all, but he was still somewhat doubtful.

“Ahem, to be able to forcefully push a Nascent Soul seed out, how come your Hidden Moon Sect is exactly like Yellow Maple Valley back then?”

Intending to divert attention from the awkward topic, Gan Rushuang was surprisingly calm.

Just as he uttered his sarcastic remark, two powerful Nascent Soul level divine senses suddenly swept over from the summit of Linglong Mountain.

Gan Rushuang seemed to sense something, her whole body jolted, and then… her face paled:

“Oh no! They’ve noticed!”

“But that’s not right, I clearly removed the surveillance devices from my body and left silently, how could they have discovered my secret escape?”

“How could this be?”

Where did she go wrong?

Beforehand, she had checked every inch of her body.

And in the past three years, she hadn’t been idle. For example, she had deliberately used a certain secret technique of the Pure Maiden Reincarnation Art to complete an incomplete “reincarnation” in advance, clearing away all the restrictions attached to the foreign energy on her body.

Just now, she used a secret technique to transfer the two divine sense imprints that the Grand Elder had personally planted on her body two years ago to the maidservant who had been placed by her side to monitor her. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to knock the maidservant   unconscious .

Furthermore, she even changed all the clothes and jewelry she always wore,

giving them to the maidservant as a precaution.   Therefore, logically, her whereabouts shouldn’t be exposed for a while.   So why was she still noticed?   ”Quick, two Nascent Soul cultivators are catching up!”

Gan Rushuang fled towards the mountain gate, glancing back anxiously.

It was over.

Not only was she trapped, but the secret she had been guarding was about to be intercepted by the Grand Elder.

Damn it.

Sure enough, just as she began her rapid escape, the sect’s protective array reacted instantly.

A massive light screen rose, enveloping the entire Linglong Mountain.

Various restrictions flickered with spiritual light, clearly indicating a serious attack.

Furthermore, the Grand Elder’s telepathic message followed immediately, resounding in the ears of all the high-level cultivators within the mountain gate:

“Seize Gan Rushuang! She stole our sect’s most precious treasure and is preparing to defect!”

“A clever preemptive strike.”

Gan Rushuang was only at the Core Formation stage; her divine sense hadn’t reached the Nascent Soul level, so she couldn’t hear the Grand Elder’s telepathic message to his disciples. But Han Li had intercepted every single word of this message.

With this telepathic message, no matter what Gan Rushuang said afterward, the entire sect would instinctively believe the Grand Elder.

The man on the mountaintop’s move effectively cut off all escape routes for the woman beside him.

“Interesting, is your situation really that bad?”

Han Li laughed.

“You can still laugh?”

Gan Rushuang, unable to escape before the great formation rose, bit her lip until it turned white.

Her resentment was practically written on her face.

Dozens of miles away, on the summit of Linglong Mountain, two figures quickly arrived, exuding a strong sense of oppression from afar:

“Gan Rushuang, you have disappointed me greatly. Do you deserve my master’s cultivation?”

The woman beside him was speechless.

Because at this moment, anything she said would be futile.

She simply patted her storage bag, took out a token and several array flags, then planted the flags at the edge of the mountain-protecting array, and activated the token again:

“Rise!”

The next moment, another light screen rose, intertwining with the Hidden Moon Sect’s mountain-protecting array, melting away to create a passage large enough for one person to escape.

Upon seeing the passage, Han Li assumed Gan Rushuang would flee.

However, to his surprise, she said,

“Go, get out of here quickly. I’ll buy you some time. Don’t let the Grand Elder and the others catch you.”

With that, she tossed out a formation control token and stepped forward, blocking the path of the approaching figures from the Hidden Moon Sect.

“Huh?”

Han Li was stunned.

“This isn’t some kind of backup plan you prepared for yourself, is it?”

“What else?”

“If I leave, what will you do? Stay behind to cover my retreat and buy me time?”

“If I stay, I’ll just be used as a furnace; I won’t die. If you stay, you’ll definitely die. If even you get caught, I’ll have no chance in this life. But if you survive and help me, I might still have a tiny chance to turn things around.”

Whether it was the secrets she had been hiding or this escape attempt, it was enough to put her in a desperate situation.

The only hope no longer lay with her, but with this ill-intentioned fellow who had infiltrated the Hidden Moon Sect:

“Enough talk, let’s go.”

“Am I worthy of your trust?”

“What else can I do without a sliver of hope? Almost everyone I know is gone. You, little one, have become the person I know best.”

For a moment, Han Li fell silent.

But he wasn’t idle.

“Although I don’t quite understand your feelings, I think we can leave together.”

With that, he no longer concealed his cultivation, a powerful aura emanating from him.

This caused Gan Rushuang beside him to stumble, then stare in disbelief. That majestic aura, as high and mighty as the sun, made the woman tremble:

“Yuan… Nascent Soul stage?!”

“You’re not even a Core Formation stage?”

How could that be?

Impossible. From

Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul in just over a hundred years?

Absolutely impossible.

“Snap.”

He clasped his hands together, hundreds of wind blades gathering in his palms, rapidly compressing, compressing, and compressing again! Finally, he threw them out.

“Crescent Moon… Slash!”

A single strike.

Space was cleaved into countless gaps; even the once-stable spatial barrier of the human realm seemed unable to withstand this power. The

still-forming protective mountain array, struck by a wind blade that expanded to a hundred feet, unleashed its energy, causing countless wind blades to explode and scatter, instantly splitting the array in two!

This scene terrified all the cultivators of the Hidden Moon Sect, causing them to halt in their tracks.

“Let’s go.”

He grabbed the slender waist of the stiffening Granny Gan, activated his Wind Escape Technique, and soared into the sky, disappearing into the distance.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Hidden Moon Sect, seeing this, looked extremely grim:

“Chase!”

If they let someone take Gan Rushuang away, where would their Hidden Moon Sect’s face be?

If Gan Rushuang escaped, how could she explain to Wei Lichen?

Were they to give herself to that guy as compensation?
