“Hold on a little longer, Old Mr. Giuvali, I can sense Master is ahead. Things will be fine once we find him,” Feenix reassured.
“Okay!” Misho nodded and began sprinting again.
Behind them were a dozen similarly dressed cultivators chasing after them.
“Stop! Who are you people?” Suddenly, Catina appeared before Misho’s group, stopping them in their tracks.
When they saw Catina blocking their path, they ceased their steps. All of them grimaced upon realizing Catina was exuding an aura only a Seventh Level Tribulator cultivator could possess.
Misho was the most powerful among them, and virtual-novel.net was only a Sixth Level Tribulator cultivator. Additionally, virtual-novel.net was injured. Even if his group worked together, it was unlikely they could defeat Catina.
Hamish stepped forward and asked politely, “May I know why you’re stopping us?”
Catina swept virtual-novel.net gaze past the group and realized they were all weak and wounded. In other words, they wouldn’t pose a threat to her, and virtual-novel.net relaxed.
“Ahead is my territory. None of you are allowed to go forward.”
“Enemies are pursuing us, and we must continue our journey to survive. No matter what’s in your territory, we don’t desire it or wish to snatch it away from you,” said Hamish humbly.
“No. Leave here at once or face the consequences.” Catina didn’t believe him.
At that moment, Hamish felt somewhat awkward. Cloud was enraged by virtual-novel.net words. “How can you be so bossy? We’re…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish his sentence, Catina waved virtual-novel.net hand, sending virtual-novel.net flying away. His life wasn’t in danger because virtual-novel.net didn’t wish to kill anyone.
When Catina attacked, Feenix widened virtual-novel.net eyes in surprise. “Fox Queen?”
Catina turned to Feenix in slight confusion, frowning. “Who are you? Why do you know me?”
“It’s me, Feenix!” As Feenix spoke, flames engulfed virtual-novel.net body, and virtual-novel.net let out a phoenix cry.
Catina looked at Feenix in disbelief and astonishment. “Feenix? How… Did you end up like this?”
“It’s a long story…” Feenix sighed. “I didn’t expect your strength to rise so quickly after so many years. I remember you were the weakest among the kings and archons way back when.”
“It’s all thanks to you. If you hadn’t defended me back then and granted me many resources, perhaps I’d still be struggling and subjected to humiliation.” A wave of solemnity washed over Catina’s face as virtual-novel.net journeyed back in memory.
Feenix looked even more despondent when virtual-novel.net heard that. “In the past, you kings and archons were nothing before me, but now you can kill me in the blink of an eye.”
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Feenix knew Catina. After all, they wouldn’t have been able to get through a Seventh Level Tribulator cultivator, not to mention they were still being chased after.
At that moment, the enemies had caught up with Hanish’s group. Among them was a bald man with tattoos on his left arm.
He sneered, “There’s nowhere for you to run now. Why not give up now?”
Misho and the others all grimaced as they stared at their foes. Feenix also frowned grimly.
“What’s going on?” asked Catina.
“These guys are from Bulrush Sect. When we discovered a celestial ore mine earlier, we were targeted by them. Due to their superior numbers and strength, they killed a few of us and pursued us here,” Feenix answered.
