Chapter 611: Double Escape

Chapter 611: Double Escape

“What is that?”

“It’s Wind Tide Spirit Technique, similar to Demon Power.”

“That direction seems to be where Helong Hall’s birthday banquet is. What happened?”

Seeing the distant fireworks spiraling and the thick black smoke, the gathered cultivators were greatly astonished, thinking it looked like disaster had arrived. They hurriedly channeled their spirit energy to build defensive arrays, worried that this fiery blaze was getting too close to the residences of the common people.

However, they were overly cautious; the fiery winds hadn’t gone crazy enough to swirl within dozens of miles.

“Why so sudden? Could it be a conflict between the Refining Demon Sect and Helong Hall?”

Zhou Jianhu approached, resting his chin in thought as he gazed into the distance.

“Senior Brother Zhou, it seems there’s my Senior Brother in that whirlwind.”

“Your Senior Brother? Lin Nuo?”

“Yes, he’s inside! Look, over there!”

Su Kexin leaped up, excitedly pointing at the fiery whirlwind like a curious little girl discovering something new, eager to share with others.

“Where?”

“There!”

“Which… where…?”

Zhou Jianhu felt a bit awkward; in that whirlwind filled with dark shadows, there were likely many people being swept up, but he couldn’t spot Lin Nuo. At that distance, it was all just shadows.

“Right there! Do you see it? Inside that whirlwind.”

“I still can’t see it, Su Junior Sister…”

Zhou Jianhu sighed in defeat. They’d been looking for a while, where could Lin Nuo possibly be?

Besides, why would Lin Nuo go there, and still be in that fiery whirlwind?

That’s just ridiculous!

“Did you all see that? My Senior Brother Lin Nuo is there!”

Su Kexin went off to share her discovery with other cultivators. Many had seen Lin Nuo before, but in that fiery whirlwind with so many dark shadows swept together, where was his figure?

Perhaps Su Kexin was seeing things; in any case, no one else spotted him.

“Su Junior Sister, we really can’t see… how can you be sure that’s your Senior Brother Lin Nuo?”

“I’m very close with Senior Brother; I can tell at a glance. Didn’t you see?”

Su Kexin thought these people were missing out. Her Senior Brother was so dashing, weaving through the fierce fire whirlwind, and yet they failed to notice.

But this also showed how close she was to her Senior Brother; she was the only one able to see him amid the fiery whirlwind.

Feeling proud, how could she not be his good partner?

Su Kexin didn’t know why Lin Nuo appeared in the fiery whirlwind, but she felt she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing; she had to take action.

Surely, while everyone else was on high alert, only her Senior Brother would bravely charge to the front lines, extinguishing the arrogance of the Black Path Helong Hall and smashing their wicked plans.

As his good partner, she should fight alongside him.

However, she’d previously promised Zhou Jianhu not to act recklessly, and rushing in now wouldn’t be good.

Ah, what to do? She just wanted to fight side by side with her Senior Brother!

Su Kexin fretted; had she known she’d see her Senior Brother, she would have just stayed behind herself without promising Zhou Jianhu anything.

At that moment, the fiery whirlwinds inside the Mu residence were showing great ferocity, as if entangled by hellish flames.

Lin Nuo flew through the air, the flames scorching hot, making his body feel fiery.

Although he had encountered such fiery baptism in a previous life, at that time, he was pursued by a host of experts throwing big moves at him, trapped in a storm of fire—a spectacular scene truly befitting his villainous image.

Now, however, he was being blown up into the sky along with a bunch of little minions.

And this was because of his own disciple blowing him up!

If Ling Meng discovered his true identity, it would be utterly embarrassing.

Fortunately, she couldn’t notice; his disguise technique was extremely strong, and once he disguised himself, Lin Nuo would disappear, leaving only Ni Daye in the world.

The force of the wind tide grew larger, spreading out in all directions, while Mu Yiting and Mu Feng were still caught in the midst of it.

However, they were in just the right spot; the wind tide seemed to sweep through the whole residence, yet the barrier here restricted it, as if their spirit energy was neutralizing each other, leaving a gap for them.

But as the wind tide rapidly strengthened, that gap would surely vanish.

Lin Nuo truly had a sharp mind; they came here, the wind tide intensified, restraining the movements of those in the residence, and then the barrier resisted the wind tide, leaving an escape route for them!

In the current situation, they had to run, or the consequences would be dire.

“Dad, let’s rush out!”

“Yiting, and the son-in-law.”

“He’s capable; don’t worry about him, let’s focus on our own safety.”

Mu Yiting urged Mu Feng to leave the scene quickly. It was a fight between the Refining Demon Sect and Helong Hall, with bombardments occurring everywhere and screams loudly echoing.

Mu Sheng’s illusionists kept disrupting Ling Meng’s consciousness, affecting her spellcasting, causing the ground wind tide to weaken.

But other demon disciples joined in, quickly aiding Ling Meng in battle. The illusionists had limited spirit energy and began to feel overwhelmed after several exchanges.

“My lord, this won’t do; at this rate, we won’t gain the advantage.”

“Then let’s withdraw. Have your controlled people block them; we’ll leave.”

“Understood.”

As the ground wind tide weakened, those swept into the air began to fall. Lin Nuo tumbled down, and aside from feeling a bit dizzy, he was fine.

Upon landing, he saw the scene had turned into chaos, resembling a desolate wasteland after a disaster—truly horrific.

Lin Nuo encountered the previous illusionist, Li Yu, who was casting spells at him.

“Get up there and hold the line!”

Li Yu shouted angrily, as others under the illusion rushed forward to form a human wall. However, Lin Nuo felt a ringing in his head but quickly snapped back to reality.

“Get lost.”

Lin Nuo threw a punch right at Li Yu’s face, sending him flying several meters. He had initially intended to interact as a puppet, but if you want me to take the hit? Alright, I’m done playing nice—screw you!

That punch was quite fierce, and Li Yu’s face became swollen, blood gushing from his nose.

He wondered if it was his lack of spirit energy that was hindering him from disrupting this kid’s consciousness?

With no choice, he had to endure the pain, clutching his nose and fleeing with the rest.

Mu Sheng led the retreat; a large number of people were downed, and those who weren’t had mostly fled, making the place unrecognizable.

The surrounding soldiers, taking advantage of the ground wind tide calming a bit, hurried over; the magical formation surrounding the residence also failed, causing the demon disciples to retreat to their original positions.

“Ling Meng, to prevent ambush, let’s hurry up and leave.”

“Father, my master.”

“Your master, what about him?”

“He’s right here.”

Ling Meng was about to point in Lin Nuo’s direction, but in the end, Lin Nuo had vanished.

“He was just there, how come…?”

“Where’s he? Are you seeing things? Let’s go, Helong Hall is crafty; we don’t know what tricks they’ll pull next.”

Ling Yuan rushed to take Ling Meng away; after the plan was exposed, things turned unfavorable, and with Mu Sheng running off, he must have gone to find reinforcements.

At this point, Lin Nuo squatted beside a large rock, one hand effortlessly moving the stone.

“Not dead, what a tough life.”

Lin Nuo checked; Mu Yuanfeng was still alive.
