Chapter 330: Young Hero Chu Is Truly A Good Person

After retreating some distance away, he noticed a beam of swordlight nearby. Someone was evading the mountain sheep in the same direction as him.

Whoosh.

There was a flash of light as the swordlight stopped in front of Chu Liang. The person standing on the sword was the young lady with a waist-length ponytail—Li Shiyi of the Endless Sword Sect.

Upon seeing Chu Liang, Li Shiyi uttered, "Huh?"

She furrowed her brows and blinked her dark brown eyes nervously.

Chu Liang responded with a greeting. "Miss Li."

Li Shiyi stared at Chu Liang for a moment before asking weakly, "Are we going to fight?"

"Ha." Chu Liang couldn't help but laugh. Then he shrugged. "I don't think it's necessary. We haven't even seen the Phoenix Sheep's Fruit of Life yet. There's nothing to fight over."

"That's good then."

Li Shiyi's tense shoulders relaxed immediately, clearly feeling relieved.

The young lady had left home with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, but she had become much more apprehensive after seeing Luo Xiaoyong and Feng Chaoyang fight at the slightest disagreement. She was now very afraid that she would encounter someone who would suddenly hit her.

Boom!

The two mountain sheep collided repeatedly. It seemed they weren't intended to stop until one of them fell.

"They are so fierce..." Li Shiyi muttered.

Not really knowing what to say, Chu Liang just nodded. "Indeed."

Then suddenly, there was a loud buzzing sound, and a cloud of fire emerged in the distant sky.

It was another massive flock of inferno phoenixes! And there were even more of them this time!

Chu Liang's pupils dilated in alarm. "Run!"

The incoming flock of inferno phoenixes even caused the two mountain sheep to stop fighting. There were simply too many inferno phoenixes, forcing the huge mountain sheep to retreat!

Swoosh, swoosh.

Two beam swordlights, one white and the other pink, shot up. Chu Liang's flying sword rushed out at full speed, gliding across the sky like a streak of lightning! However, Li Shiyi's sword-riding speed was pretty similar to Chu Liang's; she was right behind him!

Chu Liang was dumbfounded. It seemed this young lady was more capable than her young age suggested.

Li Shiyi was feeling very surprised too. Her sword-flying speed was considered unmatched in her generation at the Endless Sword Sect. Yet, this disciple of the Mount Shu Sect was so ahead of her that there could be another person flying between them...?

The Mount Shu Sect's swordsmanship had once been renowned throughout the nine provinces. Nonetheless, the Endless Sword Sect was now acknowledged as the mortal realm's holy land of swordsmanship! She couldn’t let her sect down!

So, Li Shiyi put in more effort to try and fly faster so that she could surpass Chu Liang, but Chu Liang still flew steadily ahead of her. They were quickly approaching a lofty volcano and proceeded to go around it.

Chu Liang made a sharp, low turn around the bend, instantly widening the gap by another ten zhang.

What a smooth drift! Li Shiyi thought.

She became even more astonished. She had never seen anyone use that technique before in her sect. Could it be that the disciples of the Mount Shu Sect all had such strong sword-flying skills?

It wasn't that the disciples of the Mount Shu Sect had particularly strong sword-flying skills. It was simply that the Endless Sword Sect didn't have the flying-sword races that the Mount Shu Sect had, so their disciples wouldn't think about these speed-enhancing tricks.

In the Endless Sword Sect's sword-flying style, cultivators had to improve the strength of their foundational qi and the quality of their swords if they wanted to increase their flying speed.

Of course, the Endless Sword Sect had observed the Mount Shu Sect's flying-sword races over the years. Nevertheless, in the eyes of this old and traditional sword sect, the techniques that the disciples of the Mount Shu Sect had used in those races were simply a bunch of crafty tricks. They thought those races were merely recreational events for entertainment.

Chu Liang and Li Shiyi had to maneuver around the mountain, but the cloud of fire didn't have to. Accompanied by whistling wind, the flock of inferno phoenixes rushed over with torrential momentum and pierced through the volcano, almost causing it to collapse!

Li Shiyi was startled by the sound of the crumbling volcano.

She looked back with her divine sense and exclaimed, "The inferno phoenixes weren't like this earlier. Why have they suddenly become so angry?"

Li Shiyi was panicking. Her breath became erratic, and her sword-flying speed suddenly dropped.

Sensing a threatening aura behind him, Chu Liang knew those inferno phoenixes were coming for him!

Normally, the inferno phoenixes would be in a similar state to the mountain sheep he'd encountered earlier—living in a carefree manner. Even if they fought with intruders, they wouldn't gather in a flock with such rage. However, Chu Liang's draconic aura had drawn them over to him.

Li Shiyi was only suffering now because she was following him. If she continued to flee with him, she might end up in even more danger. However, Chu Liang couldn't say that his presence had drawn these inferno phoenixes to them, as that would undoubtedly expose his weakness.

So, Chu Liang suddenly stopped and said righteously, "Miss Li, don't panic! I will draw away this maddened flock of inferno phoenixes. Let's split up and head in different directions!"

Chu Liang raised his hand and pointed at the flock of inferno phoenixes. He shot a beam of swordlight toward them, killing two inferno phoenixes!

A strange screech rang out from amid the flock, and Chu Liang immediately turned around to flee. The multitude of inferno phoenixes all flew toward him.

Li Shiyi followed his instructions and fled in the opposite direction, and as expected, none of the inferno phoenixes chased her. Nevertheless, she thought the flock of inferno phoenixes was only chasing Chu Liang because he had just provoked them.

In reality, that provocation didn't matter; the inferno phoenixes' target had always been him.

Unaware of that, the young lady was deeply moved by Chu Liang's altruistic act. She turned around and gazed at the sky, muttering to herself, "Young Hero Chu is truly a good person."

...

The sky was filled with fire clouds. Chu Liang often turned around and used his divine abilities, killing two inferno phoenixes each time. However, their numbers only seemed to increase.

The problem was that Chu Liang had been flying all over the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm in his effort to flee. The inferno phoenixes throughout the hidden realm were drawn to Chu Liang's draconic aura and flew toward him. His attempt to escape ended up being a monster-gathering exercise.

The power of this large flock of inferno phoenixes had reached a terrifying level. If they were to catch up with him, Chu Liang would very likely become one of the few core disciples of the Four Great Immortal Sects to die in the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm.

That's right. The death rate in the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm was very low, but it wasn't zero!

A paradise in the mortal realm? Take it as if I'm on a vacation?

Chu Liang thought of his teacher's words while he was being chased, and he shed glistening teardrops that looked like ice crystals.

The massive flock of inferno phoenixes seemed to extend across half of the sky. Chu Liang was about to be surrounded.

He gritted his teeth and reluctantly took out a pill from his chest pocket. It was the Essence-Concealing Pill!

Alchemists had ceased production of this rare pill for many years. Every pill he consumed was one he could never replace. There were only three left of the pills Chu Liang had found in that gourd.

The Essence-Concealing Pill was definitely a great thing, especially when he needed to take action in secret. It was the perfect tool for taking action in stealth. Nonetheless, he had no choice but to take an Essence-Concealing Pill at this moment.

Chu Liang swallowed the Essence-Concealing Pill, concealing all of his qi and, of course, his surging draconic aura.

The clouds of fire in the sky suddenly came to a halt. The inferno phoenixes stirred restlessly in unease. The aura of their enemy—the being their genetic memory told them they had to kill—had suddenly disappeared, leaving only a residual trace of his qi. It wasn't enough to help them track down the enemy.

Chu Liang seized this opportunity to flee swiftly. The effect of the Essence-Concealing Pill only lasted for a quarter of an hour, so he had to find a safe place to hide within this time.

While he was flying, he swept his divine sense over the peak of a high mountain and sensed the auras of three people.

Hmm?

Chu Liang was a little surprised and immediately turned back there.

Upon landing, he found Feng Chaoyang, Luo Xiaoyong, and Li Shiyi, the disciples of the other three immortal sects, just as he'd expected. They were gathered on the mountain peak, standing apart and across from each other.

When Li Shiyi saw Chu Liang, she smiled. "Young Hero Chu, it seems you're fine. That's great!"

"It was a fluke that I managed to escape," Chu Liang said, returning the smile. "What are you three doing here?"

"It's because of what just happened. Something strange has happened in the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm. All the inferno phoenixes have gathered together..." Li Shiyi explained. "So, all we can do is hide here for now."

"Hide?"

Chu Liang was puzzled. What was there to conceal them on this bare mountain peak?

So, he asked, "Won't the inferno phoenixes come here?"

"You didn't know?" Luo Xiaoyong looked at Chu Liang with an astonished expression. "The peak of this mountain, the central mountain, is the only safe spot in the Phoenix Sheep Hidden Realm."

"A safe spot?" Chu Liang uttered, blinking in surprise.

There's such a thing?
