C13 Sunset Valley
C13 Sunset Valley
Chu Yan could see at this moment, that this seven-colored light was actually a huge fan, and on the fan, there were two people.
One of them was a white-clothed woman who looked to be in her twenties. The other one was a little girl with chignon hair who looked to be about seven or eight years old.
Seeing that, Chu Yan struggled, wanting to get up from the ground.
The two of them didn't seem that old, but they could actually fly in the air. This was something only legendary immortals could do!
It was impossible for such a person to be an assassin sent by Chu Xing.
After the fan landed on the ground, the little girl jumped down and looked around.
The bloody scene did not seem to have any effect on her.
"Senior sister, there is indeed a fluctuation of spiritual energy. It seems that you sensed it right. A fight just happened here." A moment later, the little girl turned around and looked at the woman in white.
The white-clothed woman shook her head. "It's not a battle between cultivators, but just the spiritual energy fluctuations produced by the True Essence Charm. Let's go."
"Oh." The little girl nodded and was about to jump back onto the fan when her eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed at a spot not far away and shouted, "Senior sister, someone is still alive there!"
Without waiting for the white-clothed female owner to react, the little girl had already skipped over. A moment later, her surprised voice was heard again, "Senior Sister, there's another one here, but this one … Senior Sister, come here and take a look. "
Chu Yan was currently not even ten meters away from the little girl.
Every muscle in his body moved as if he was in pain from being torn apart. The injuries from the two attacks were much greater than he had imagined.
Fortunately, it was him. If it was another cultivator, they would have already died.
At this moment, Chu Yan saw the little girl squat down and curiously sized up the unconscious Xiao Pei. He wanted to get up, but she was unable to do so.
Regardless of whether it was the little girl or the white-clothed woman, when they first discovered him alive, they only glanced at him once before no longer paying attention to him.
At this moment, the two of them had their attention on Xiao Pei.
"This is …" After the white clothed female walked closer, and looked where the little girl was pointing at, she immediately realised that not far from Xiao Pei's face, there were a few pieces of emerald green grass, swaying in the wind.
However, the few strands of grass actually made her feel traces of spirit energy being emitted.
The white-robed woman waved her hand and all of the grass was sucked into her hand.
After carefully sizing up the area, the white-clothed woman reached out her hand and wiped the wound on Xiao Pei's forehead once more. She then placed it under her nose to smell it, and her face immediately revealed a serious expression.
The little girl raised her head and looked at the girl in white excitedly, "Senior Sister, isn't it, isn't it?"
Although he did not know what the two of them were discussing, at this moment, Chu Yan was certain of one thing. These two "immortals" seemed to be very interested in Xiao Pei.
"Save her... "Please save her …" A flash of hope appeared in Chu Yan's eyes as he said this with great difficulty.
He was heavily injured, and the sound he made was like a low hum. After a while, the little girl finally noticed Chu Yan.
But when she looked at Chu Yan, the little girl's eyes clearly became indifferent: "You know her?"
"She is my maid. Please save her." Chu Yan said with his hoarse voice.
The little girl acknowledged him but did not say anything else.
The lady in white had a serious expression, Chu Yan only saw her turn her wrist, and a jade plate suddenly appeared in her hand.
This method caused Chu Yan to have an eye-opener, but at the same time, he noticed that there were two triangles carved at the bottom of the jade plate.
The cuffs of these two women were also inlaid with the same pattern.
The white clothed female was stained with a drop of Xiao Pei's blood, and smeared it on the jade plate. After a moment, the jade plate shone with a faint white light.
The woman in white couldn't help but be moved. The little girl glanced at it and immediately covered her mouth. Her eyes flashed with surprise and joy. "It's really —"
"Body of Woodflower." The lady in white nodded.
Taking a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, she summoned the colorful fan and placed Xiao Pei on it.
"I never thought that I would actually be able to see the body of the Wooden Flower. If we didn't discover it, we might have been covered in dust from now on. If I bring her back, Master will definitely take her in as his disciple." The woman in white said.
Chu Yan could not understand what it meant to have the body of a wooden flower, but at the moment, he was certain that there was something on Xiao Pei that the deities valued! The deity was even willing to take her as a disciple!
This thing seemed to be her blood.
"Senior sister, what should we do with this person? He's going to die soon." The little girl said, pointing to Chu Yan on the ground, she asked, "How about we kill him, the news about the Wooden Body must not be spread out."
These words startled Chu Yan.
The little girl looked young, but he didn't want to provoke her. She actually wanted to kill him.
"No." The lady in white shook her head decisively. "This is not the territory of our Sunset Valley. If we start killing as we please, it will be disadvantageous for us if anyone discovers any traces of us. In any case, looking at this person's injuries, it will at most take half a day for him to die.
"Sunset Valley." Chu Yan memorized the name and the patterns on the sleeves of the two women.
It was already a miracle that he was able to hold on until now due to his injuries and excessive blood loss. Although he did not know when Xiao Pei would be taken away by the other party, or perhaps he would never be able to see them again, at least the other party was now safe, was valued by the deities, and might be able to do something in the future. Furthermore, he himself knew the origins of these two women, so when he put down the thought in his mind at this moment, Chu Yan immediately felt a strong sense of exhaustion.
"Clean this place up."
"Hmm?"
"Anything that can help people identify them, destroy it on the spot. This way, even if someone knows that the Wooden Flower Body is gone, they won't be able to find any clues corresponding to the identity based on the clothes these people are wearing and the things they carry with them."
"Senior apprentice-sister, you're so powerful."
"Hurry up and do it, don't leave any traces behind."
"Senior Sister, if you use the sacred art, it will be very fast."
"When you use your sacred art, spiritual energy will fluctuate. Have you forgotten how we discovered this place? Furthermore, as long as there are traces of a sacred art being used, there will definitely be people who will be able to discover that it's the sacred art of the Sunset Valley.
"But our Sunset Valley isn't in the northern region …"
"It's because we're not in the northern region that we can't afford to leave any evidence behind. This trip to the northern region could already be considered trespassing into the territory of other sects. If we're discovered, it would be difficult for me to escape."
...
The two women seemed to believe that Chu Yan would definitely die if he was severely injured, so they did not intentionally lower their voices.
In the midst of the two girls' conversation, Chu Yan felt his body being flipped over. Vaguely, he saw that fan floating up into the air and disappearing, and after an unknown amount of time, he heard the sound of muffled thunder, and a cool feeling fell on his body. It seemed to be raining.
Gradually, Chu Yan didn't know anything and fainted.
And at the same time, his blood fell onto the echo loop.
The surface of the echo loop once again emitted that strange purple light.
