Ling Zhenfei has now figured out the matter of the Heart-pursuing Item.
Moreover, his strength is already at the verge of reaching the Chasing Heart Realm Mid-Stage.
His strength poses absolutely no problem, regardless of any Heart-pursuing Item.
The Dragon Tooth Dagger, as if it had eyes, directly blocked the flying sword coming from behind.
Ling Zhenfei continued to carry Ru Meng and walked on without turning back when suddenly a figure appeared behind him, attacking him with a treasured sword.
Ling Zhenfei could tell that the first sword and the second sword did not come from the same person.
The second sword was from Xia Mingcheng, while the first sword belonged to Blood Son.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked; he didn't expect that even at this time, Xia Mingcheng and Blood Son were still unwilling to let him go.
Ling Zhenfei quickly dodged while commanding the Dragon Tooth Dagger to block.
The Dragon Tooth Dagger was in perfect sync with Ling Zhenfei, and although he was battle-hardened, facing such powerful cultivators as Xia Mingcheng and Blood Son was still very stressful.
At this moment, the animals were closing in, and Ling Zhenfei blocked Xia Mingcheng's sword.
Ling Zhenfei knew that no matter how powerful Xia Mingcheng was, he couldn't avoid dodging.
Sure enough, both Xia Mingcheng and Blood Son started dodging, ceasing their attack on Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei, stepping on Northern Spiritual Energy, flew up into the air using the trees, landing right on top of the Lightning Bird.
At this moment, Ru Meng was in Ling Zhenfei's hands, without a single struggle.
Ling Zhenfei placed Ru Meng down gently, and Ru Meng looked at Ling Zhenfei with a puzzled expression yet showed no emotion.
Ling Zhenfei felt heartbroken, but now was not the time for heartache because there was another thorny issue — several flying monsters were coming at the Lightning Bird like a tsunami.
Ling Zhenfei was quite shocked, but the Lightning Bird managed a few leaps and dodged the aerial birds.
After a wave of animal tsunami, the entire forest seemed to change, making the path ahead even more challenging as many branches were broken.
And this animal tsunami altered not only the forest but also the cultivators; many died under the iron hooves of the beastly flood.
Even though those cultivators were powerful, they were still trampled into pulp under the iron hooves of tens of thousands of animals.
After an animal storm, many sects found fewer cultivators, some bodies could be found, but many were missing entirely.
The people just disappeared; who knows where the tsunami of animals carried them.
Riding on the Lightning Bird, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but feel sentimental, having escaped the foreign races, he never thought the animal flood would take so many lives unjustly.
Holding Ru Meng, Ling Zhenfei said, "Ru Meng, do you remember me? I am Ling Zhenfei."
Ru Meng shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
Ling Zhenfei felt very upset; it seemed Ru Meng had forgotten everything.
Ling Zhenfei started checking Ru Meng's pulse, and after feeling it, he realized that Ru Meng's brain nerves had been damaged by someone, seemingly by some poison.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Ru Meng, don't worry, I will find a way to cure your illness."
Ru Meng showed no expression, making it unclear if she was sad or happy.
Ling Zhenfei was very angry; Blood Son was truly too wicked to do such a thing to Ru Meng.
While Ling Zhenfei was lost in thought, he suddenly sensed a surge of Northern Spiritual Energy coming towards the Lightning Bird.
Ling Zhenfei was very shocked and quickly punched out a surge of Northern Spiritual Energy with his right hand.
However, just after throwing the punch, he suddenly felt multiple streams of Northern Spiritual Energy sealing off all routes for the Lightning Bird.
Moreover, several powerful arrows were shot towards the Lightning Bird.
The Lightning Bird naturally sensed the threat and executed a series of extreme evasive maneuvers.
But there emerged a problem, Ru Meng on the Lightning Bird had no Northern Spiritual Energy, making it difficult for her to sit steadily.
The high-difficulty evasion of the Lightning Bird involved flips in the air, from which Ru Meng couldn't hold on and fell down.
Ling Zhenfei was startled, quickly flying down to catch Ru Meng.
Ling Zhenfei realized that he was likely going to fall to the ground.
The Lightning Bird had taken heavy fire and had no time to rescue Ling Zhenfei and Ru Meng again, leaving Ling Zhenfei to fall to the ground with Ru Meng in his arms.
Once on the ground, Ling Zhenfei was surrounded.
Those surrounding Ling Zhenfei were Blood Son, Xia Mingcheng, and others.
Ling Zhenfei, however, was not panicked; although he hadn't figured out how to counter Blood Son's Bloody Evil Technique, it was not easy for Blood Son to kill him either.
Ling Zhenfei released Ru Meng and said to Blood Son, "Aren't you ashamed, ganging up on me?"
Blood Son appeared very angry, saying to Ru Meng, "Ru Meng, come back with me quickly."
But Ru Meng seemed dazed, as if she heard nothing.
Ling Zhenfei could see that back at Xianling Mountain, although Ru Meng was under Blood Son's control, she still responded when Blood Son spoke to her.
But now, Ru Meng showed no response at all, like a walking corpse.
Ling Zhenfei was furious and said, "What did you do to Ru Meng?"
Blood Son said, "Ling Zhenfei, I don't care what I did to Ru Meng, it all happened because of you. You should feel guilty."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Are you insane? You made Ru Meng like this, and you're blaming me."
Blood Son said, "That's right, it is all your fault, everything was caused by you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "In all my life, this is the first time I've heard such logic — it's like you murdered someone and then blamed me for it."
Blood Son said, "Anyway, you're going to die today, so I'll let you die knowing why."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Go ahead, I'm very curious about how despicable you really are."
Blood Son asked, "Let me ask you, did you take Ru Meng's virginity?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "What do you mean by 'take'? It was mutual love; Ru Meng gave herself to me to thwart your conspiracy."
Blood Son raged, "You're lying; I have been betrothed to Ru Meng since childhood, and you dare to lie about taking her virginity."
Ling Zhenfei almost laughed at this and said, "Childhood sweethearts, eh? And you dare speak of it. How many people did you kill for your Bloody Evil Technique? Don't think Ru Meng didn't know.
You taught Ru Meng the Cultivation Technique for what reason, don't think people don't know. Because you coveted Ru Meng's Pure Yin Body, you taught her techniques to better complement your Bloody Evil Technique.
