Chapter 29: Yao Ziyan
The sky was a tempestuous battlefield.
Dark clouds churned as streaks of lightning tore through the heavens, illuminating the gloom. Beneath this oppressive canopy, the beasts of the Nine Stars Mountains cowered in their dens, overwhelmed by an instinctual fear.
High above, a shadowy figure streaked across the sky, moving with such force that even the space around her seemed to fracture. Behind her, several figures pursued relentlessly, their intentions clear.
"Yao Ziyan! Escaping from five Pathseekers? I've wasted nearly a century of cultivation for this farce!"
"Give up, Yao Ziyan! The monster clans won't save you this time. Their days are numbered!"
"Surrender now, and I promise you a whole corpse!"
Their mocking jeers filled the air as they closed in.
