-Chu Yuechan's location-

She seems to be sustaining some injuries but not life-threatening. There's 2 bloodied flood dragon by her side and it seems that they're not the one who injured her.

Compared to the injury Chu Yuechan's sustained, they're having it worst with how bloody they look... But it's not that fatal since profound beasts are known to have better defenses and life force than human practitioners.

They are silver colored flood dragon. With one in front and the other in the back, they circled around Chu Yuechan at the center.

Both gigantic silver dragons that rose in the air were over a hundred meters long. Their cultivation base is at the 10th level of but they're still not at the peak just yet.

If they're given more time then they could reach the peak but they're currently just at the lower stage of the 10th level at the moment.

They appear to be protecting Chu Yuechan.

The one who attacked her appears to be the group of cultivators that are currently encircling them.

There are 10 profound practitioners in total and the strongest of them all is at the 4th level. The second and third strongest is at the 3rd level and 2nd level respectively.

As for the rest, they are mostly Half-step into the or at the 1st stage throne.

Although Chu Yuechan has already broken through to the 3rd level herself. Being attacked by multiple of them at the same time is not something she could withstand...

If it's just 2v1 or 3v1 she could still manage but there's 10 of them attacking her at the same time. Even fighting against the 4th level throne is doable and she could even win since she has been trained by Issei.

The 10 of them are currently trying their best to break the crimson barrier that's currently protecting Chu Yuechan and the 2 flood dragons but they can't even put a scratch into this barrier... Issei's protective charm is not something these weaklings could put a scratch into much less breaking them...

Only those at the could break his current barrier but that's something impossible to happen since they're currently in the lower realm and there is not a single Divine Realm cultivator in this lower plane.

"Damn! Just what is this fucking barrier!? Why can't we break it!" The one at the 4th level throne cursed out loud feeling impatient since they can't get their hands on Chu Yuechan.

They thought they're quite lucky after finding out that the famous Chu Yuechan from the is traveling alone. After a bit of chase, they managed to cornered here into this ...

The is a land that was left to grow wild. From afar, the entire wasteland was overrun with dry withered grass, rocks lined the rugged terrain. Spanning nine hundred and fifty kilometers long and eight hundred kilometers wide, countless profound beasts roam the wasteland, and these profound beasts were mostly wild and ferocious. It is one of the three most dangerous areas within the . The number of profound beasts that reside within it is at least a hundred times more than the . It is heaven for profound beasts and hell for practitioners.

Along with its reputation, its dense population of profound beasts attracts large numbers of practitioners and treasure hunters. However, every year, the deaths of practitioners within the area number more than a hundred thousand. Hence, from this, the place was named .

But when they thought they will have it easy since they have the bigger number, these 2 flood Dragon suddenly came out from the nearby lake and for some unknown reason started defending Chu Yuechan herself... Even Chu Yuechan is confused at first but she soon accepted it feeling confused yet grateful at them both.

Her pursuers at first become taken by surprise seeing that Chu Yuechan is already at the 3rd level throne but thankfully they already took proper precaution so they're not too worried. But this blasted 2 flood Dragon just had to get in their way!

"Elder brother! We don't have much time left! I think the charm she just used also has some sort of signal usability that she sent back to her sect!" The 2nd strongest shouted at the 1st one. He can sense there's some sort of concentrated profound energy that launches itself to the sky the moment Chu Yuechan used her charm.

"I know that! But the arrow has been shot and we can't recall it back! If we leave just now then our Xiao sect will surely meet its end!" The 1st one responded angrily and he also increased the intensity of his attacks to the barrier but to no avail...

Indeed, these group of people is from the Xiao Sect...

They are feeling like they're sleeping on pins and needles ever since that day their sect member offended the and that unknown woman...

They're feeling insecure if the would suddenly change their mind and decided to launch an attack on their Xiao sect?... They didn't know just who is that mysterious woman in the realm is but she must be related to the in some way...

But most importantly, the Sect Master, Grand Elder, and Grand Sect Master of the Xiao sect can't accept that one of their direct descendants is killed just like that... They need to find justice for the fallen Xiao Kuangyun!

The Sect Master, Grand Elder, and Grand Sect Master are blood-related. Sect Master Xiao Juetian is the son of the Grand Sect Master Xiao Wuqing and Grand Elder Xiao Wuying is Wuqing's little brother.

Xiao Kuangyun being the Sect Master Xiao Juetian son, that means that Xiao Kuangyun is also the Grand Elder and Grand Sect Master grandson and grand-nephew respectively...

The 3 of them are extremely doting of their direct descendant and Xiao Kuangyun being the youngest of all 4 siblings, made him more doted than the others especially when he's the son from his legal wife... But the most important reason is because they are just too arrogant to just accept defeat just like that...

So they need to strike first or it will be all too late when the time has come... Their plan was to kidnap one from the and used her as a bargaining chip.

They could blackmail their sect with any of the sect members since it is well known that the has a strong camaraderie with each other. But to play it safe they decided to aim one of the higher-ups from their sect such as Chu Yuechan here...

After confirming that she's really alone for a couple of days of discreetly following her behind the dark... They finally decided to ambush her only to ultimately fail since they never thought that she's already at the 3rd level throne which in turn made them become more determined than
