Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Boom Bom Boom!

Hearing the explosions behind him growing closer and closer with each passing second, Feng Chen decided that running along the border of the Burning Mountain Range was not a good option for him and would also end up implicating a lot of innocent mortals that were unlucky enough to live in a town or city near the border of their kingdom…

Whoosh!

With this in mind, Feng Chen immediately made his way into the Burning Mountain Range. Hoping that he would be able to shake off the red fruit flying after him and the two powerhouses fighting each other just behind the red fruit.

Bang!

Just as Feng Chen was about to rush into a cave entrance leading down underground and try and hide there, a large boulder flew over from behind him and landed directly in the centre of the cave entrance, causing it to come crashing down along with the cave behind it. Sealing off the entrance to whatever underground tunnel network might have been present below there in the past.

"Damnit!"

Not able to do anything other than curse loudly, Feng Chen did not dare stay around for too long before turning to run in another direction with no set location in mind, just trying to escape from the red fruit and terrifying experts following behind.

Even worse. Now that he was carrying the already unconscious Zu Fei, he had an even harder time moving through the dense foliage that covered the surroundings he currently found himself in. Not that he was going to question why a jungle had suddenly appeared below and in between the mountains of the Burning Mountain…

All he could do, was hope that the trees would at the very least help making it hard for that damnable red floating fruit to find him… If he was lucky, one of the powerhouses following behind him might even be able to grab hold of the red fruit and take their fight somewhere that did not involve him or Zu Fei…

However, this was far too much to hope for as a bright red light could soon be seen following him from above the treetops. Completely unaffected by the lack of visibility.

How would a fruit even see him in the first place…?

"Hah…" Sighing loudly upon realizing that he had forgotten the fact that the thing chasing him was a fruit and not a person caused Feng Chen to rethink his plans.

The fruit was obviously following him because of something, he just had to find out what and get rid of it if possible!

…

"Commander! Someone is approaching us from the south, they will show up in less than a minute! Estimated strength should at least be at the Domain Lord Realm!"

A short distance from where Feng Chen and Zu Fei were, a large ship was floating mid-air above the tall mountains of the Burning Mountain Range.

"Hm… Prepare for combat, I will go out and see who it is…" Inside the commander room of the floating ship, a middle-aged woman with a stern look etched onto her face and a scar running straight across it informed the captain who had just walked over and informed her about someone approaching them.

Glancing over in the direction of a large round table in the middle of the command room to get a grasp of the situation. The commander could not help but marvel at the wonder of the artifact that was the table in question.

The entire table was lit up as the light formed a three-dimensional map of the surrounding environment covering an extremely wide area around them, way more than what her divine sense would ever be able to cover!

And on that table, two large red dots were approaching towards their location.

Narrowing her eyes even further upon seeing the how large the red dots on the table were, the middle-aged woman frowned slightly as she knew very well that the bigger the dots were, the stronger the person would be…

At least that was all she knew about the weird artifact that was the result of countless formations being merged together into one.

"Looks like this will be more difficult than first expected… Captain, change of plans! Prepare to retreat! This is not something you will be able to deal with!"

"C-commander? Are you sure…?"

The captain could not help but ask in a confused voice. No matter what, he was also someone in the Domain Lord Realm… Just how strong were the two approaching them!? Thinking about this, the commander could not help but shiver as a sense of fear began to take root, but this fear soon dispersed when he looked over at his commander again.

"Yes, make sure that you are ready to retreat at any point in time and keep a distance! Remember that it's not only us here at the moment!" Saying this, the commander motioned over towards the large group of people moving around the command room.

"I understand…" Nodding his head, the captain did not say anything more as he began informing the rest of the crew about what was going on.

The commander on the other hand, did not say anything more upon seeing what the captain did and instead left the command room before leaving the floating ship that slowly began to move away. Leaving her floating mid-air as she looked towards the south. Waiting for the two approaching experts!

…

Back on the ground, Feng Chen had already noticed the flying ship in the distance through a few gaps in the treetops and even though he did not recognize the emblem on the side of the flying ship, Feng Chen knew very well that this might be the chance he was looking for!

If the expert that owned the flying ship saw the red fruit flying after him, Feng Chen was certain that the expert would go after it and prevent it from following him!

After all, the two powerhouses behind him very clearly wanted the red fruit, so it should be a precious spiritual herb of some sort!

Thinking this, Feng Chen used the last bit of his qi reserves to speed up even further as he dashed through the thick foliage while carrying the unconscious Zu Fei at a speed surpassing his past top speed. Maybe even comparable to a Domain Lord flying through the sky!
