Chapter 336: It's Good Just to Be Alive

"Keep up with the captain, don't fall behind!"

Shen Qiuyue shouted, brandishing her dueling sword.

With the cooperation of the four, they finally broke through the siege and rushed onto the shuttle that had been waiting for them.

"This truly was a narrow escape from death!"

Han Ruoxi collapsed into her seat, gasping heavily for breath.

"It's enough that we are still alive!"

Li Chang'an sat to the side, wiping the blood from his chain-sword.

"Captain, the footage from the laboratory has already—"

"Martial Uncle Qingguang, this disciple has done everything possible. Is our Liuyun Sect truly destined to perish like this!" Shen Biru, perched upon a bluestone, murmured to the void, her heart filled with unwilling resentment.

By then, they naturally would not notice the Xuan Sect, allowing Daoist Xuan and Li Haoran to make a clean, full retreat.

Not a trace of surprise showed on the faces of Grandmaster and Yan San'er, and I understood at once—the two of them had certainly known all along. Old veterans of the martial world indeed, they hardly needed my pointers.

The moment they came to a halt, Xiao Yiyun immediately deployed a defensive array to guard the surroundings. Now, after successive rounds of fierce slaughter, the three of them were exhausted in mind and spirit, their elemental energy deeply depleted; they were truly spent. Xiao Yiyun had been exerting the laws of the fire origin with all his might at the end, leaving him so weary he felt a profound urge to sink into slumber.

Qin Wuyang drew out two falling-treasure gold coins and placed them upon the round table. The two glittering, winged coins instantly caught the eyes of Bixiao and Qiongxiao, yet they merely spared them a glance. At this moment, they were consumed with anxiety over Zhao Gongming's plight, and for the time being, paid little heed to the gold.

"Uncle Bai, do you need our help?" Chang Qing was ever simple and honest; though the momentum of those strange insects was terrifying, leaving someone else to fight a lone battle while fleeing for his own life felt somewhat improper, even if the one left behind was no ordinary mortal.

After entering the Shuilan Realm in disguise, Li Yu naturally made his way toward the nearest city, spotting from afar a vast citadel stretching over thousands of miles, wherein the shadow of the military division could indeed be seen.

Wu Zhen, her hair styled in two braids and clad in soft silk trousers, sat by the dressing table and removed her earrings.

Chang Shan and Daoist Jianye were no fools; they could naturally deduce that Ao Changgong had discovered Chang Shan in Ling'ao City and conceived a murderous intent toward him, which led to the subsequent ambush.

"Damn it, if you don't let me go save them today, you'll regret it for the rest of your lives! White Wolf, will you step aside or not? If you don't, our brotherhood ends here." Anxious to save them, Lin Yu could not have foreseen that just after escaping Li City, someone would immediately kidnap Hu Gang and the others; he had to go rescue them.

Bing Qing had clearly sensed it early on as well. A touch of solemnity appeared in her beautiful eyes as she diverted a portion of her attention to suppress the abnormal stirrings in her mind, while the magic sword before her pressed the attack with even greater urgency.

She was gambling—gambling that Guo Qifeng would want this cup, and at the same time probing, probing to find Guo Qifeng's bottom line.
