Chapter 1282 - 1279: Escape
Xiao Xue and Lin Chuan rushed towards the snow mountain, and at this moment, the disciples in the valley saw them and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Did you see that? That damn witch finally stopped killing people, haha, we have a chance to survive."
"The witch's abilities are simply too formidable, even our Sect Leader is no match for her, let alone us."
"Let's go, hurry and hide. If this witch comes back or suddenly changes her mind, we'll be in deep trouble."
"Yes, yes, let's hide for now, and once we've recovered our strength, we'll seek revenge against those two."
For a moment, the disciples saw Xiao Xue and Lin Chuan leave, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. In their view, Xiao Xue and Lin Chuan didn't intend to kill them at all.
In fact, Xiao Xue and Lin Chuan had no intention of letting them go. Xiao Xue and Lin Chuan knew very well that if they softened their hearts, they would be doomed.
The Shushan Sect's power is quite strong, even in the mundane world, many outer sect disciples hold high positions.
Therefore, Xiao Xue and Lin Chuan decided not to let anyone leave here.
In no time, the two reached the foot of the snow peak. The snow peak was very high, and more importantly, there was a lot of snow on the summit.
Xiao Xue took a deep breath and then demonstrated her space superpower. As the space ability unfolded, a strong force began to shake the mountain, and as the vibration power continued to strengthen, the snow layers on the mountain began to fall. Soon, the snow piles grew bigger and bigger, and finally, the entire mountain's snow started to collapse.
Indeed, this is the legendary avalanche. To Lin Chuan, this was the first time seeing an avalanche.
Large amounts of snow rushed down rapidly, and as the avalanche occurred, stones and trees on the mountain were all swept down by the snow tide.
To the avalanche, everything it passes over is merely fleeting clouds.
The momentum of the avalanche was huge. The disciples of the Shushan Sect saw the snow tide rushing toward them and were stunned. At this moment, faced with such powerful natural forces, no matter how strong the Shushan Sect was, they were powerless.
"It's over, we're doomed. Facing such an avalanche, we can't survive."
"Stop standing there, hurry and escape. If not, we'll be buried alive by the snow pile."
"Escape? Where to? This valley is only so big, and such a powerful avalanche is enough to fill the entire valley."
These disciples were right. The valley's area was not very big, only the size of one or two counties. With such a powerful avalanche, they had no chance of survival.
At this time, Xiao Xue took Lin Chuan and long activated teleportation; in a few flashes, they reached the boundary of the restriction and outside.
Half an hour later, the raging snow tide filled the entire valley. Xiao Xue looked at the ground covered with snow heaps several meters high and silently sighed. In such circumstances, most of the Shushan Sect's people were likely dead. Even if some weren't, they wouldn't be many.
Xiao Xue smiled slightly: "Now the situation is resolved, and the Shushan Sect will disappear from the martial world. Should we go back now?"
Lin Chuan thought about it and then gazed at the surrounding snow scenery, expressing awe: "The Sect Leader of Shushan is done for, and the disciples suffered heavily. It's impossible for them to rise again."
Speaking of this, Lin Chuan suddenly continued: "Why not scrutinize the area. It's said the Shushan Sect has over ten thousand disciples. Though the avalanche is fierce, it can't have buried all ten thousand people. Even if buried, not all would necessarily die."
Xiao Xue smiled: "Within this space restriction, I put a little ban of my own. Without my help, they can't come out. Hehe, those left inside only have two outcomes: either they die of old age or starving."
Lin Chuan nodded quietly and then hastened away from there with Xiao Xue.
…
Coming out from inside, Lin Chuan felt a chill. Indeed, the weather inside the Shushan Sect and outside was very different; inside was like spring, while outside the weather was exceedingly cold.
After Lin Chuan and Xiao Xue left, only a few minutes had passed when a man in black stealthily revealed his head. The man possessed super vision, capable of seeing through anything, including space restrictions.
"This is bad; the Shushan Sect is finished. I never expected such a strong young person like Xiao Xue." The man in black glimpsed the avalanche inside, shaking with fear, "I must report this to the Palace Master immediately; otherwise, our Bright Moon Palace will end up like the Shushan Sect."
With that thought, the man in black quickly left.
Hours later, at Bright Moon Palace, Shangguan Mingyue listened to the man in black's words, becoming remarkably frightened.
One must know, Shushan Sect was considered the top Ancient Martial force today, and even Bright Moon Palace was not their match.
Once, Shangguan Mingyue had fought with Shushan Sect's Sect Leader Zhu Qiu. They were evenly matched within a hundred moves, but after a hundred moves, Shangguan Mingyue lost to Zhu Qiu.
During that duel, Shangguan Mingyue realized Zhu Qiu hadn't exerted his full strength, while she'd used her utmost ability. Even employing her trump card in the end.
From then on, Shangguan Mingyue knew she was far from being Zhu Qiu's match. If Zhu Qiu hadn't shown her some face, she might have been defeated within twenty moves.
If even Zhu Qiu fell to Xiao Xue, who according to rumors defeated him, then it seems Shangguan Mingyue is no match for Xiao Xue either.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Mingyue's face turned deathly pale!
"What do you suggest we do?" asked Shangguan Mingyue worriedly, "Years ago, we snatched Lin Chuan's girlfriend. Will Lin Chuan spare us? Shushan Sect was exterminated despite having space restrictions, not to mention our Bright Moon Palace is particularly conspicuous."
The man in black sighed softly: "Palace Master, I think fighting Xiao Xue and Lin Chuan is a losing battle, and besides, engaging in a life-or-death fight with them would not benefit us at all. We shouldn't fight unless absolutely necessary."
Seeing her subordinate's reasoning, Shangguan Mingyue couldn't help but contemplate inwardly: "Alright, I decide to surrender to Lin Chuan. I just wonder if they bear a grudge and will forgive us."
The man in black hesitated slightly, then faintly smiled: "Palace Master, if you don't try, how will you know if they'll respond?"
Shangguan Mingyue carefully considered and mused: "Alright, have Murong Feng come over; I need to talk to her."
If Shangguan Mingyue were to request Lin Chuan's forgiveness, the success rate might be less than ten percent, after all, the decision power rests with Lin Chuan and Xiao Xue.
Meanwhile, Lin Chuan and Xiao Xue journeyed through day and night and finally arrived at Qingcheng City, where they reached Qingcheng Town where resides Mu Qiu, Lan Feng, and others.
At this moment, the two of them are drinking wine while eating meat, among them, Mu Qiu said: "Lin Chuan really doesn't give us face; he and Xiao Xue rushed to the Shushan Sect without informing us. We are also experts, although not as strong as them, we at least have some fighting power, don't we?"
Lan Feng chuckled: "Mu Qiu, stop boasting. If your combat ability were strong, why were you chased away at the start? Moreover, the Shushan Sect's power is well known; any inner sect disciple could chase us around. I've heard that the Shushan Sect alone has nearly ten thousand disciples. If we went, we might survive three or five minutes, possibly even be instantly slain."
Mu Qiu nodded quietly: "Yes, in the eyes of Xiao Xue and Lin Chuan, our capability would only hold them back. If we went, they would have to protect us. Therefore, Lin Chuan made the right decision. Haha, truth be told, if they were defeated, they could escape, but we couldn't. If we tried to flee, we wouldn't run fast enough."
Mu Qiu knew a bit about Lin Chuan's Tai Chi Steps; those steps were extremely fast, not claiming world-leading speed but not far from it either.
Lan Feng thought carefully, asking: "What if they got captured, what then?"
Mu Qiu laughed: "Xiao Xue's combat ability isn't ordinary at all. I believe they'll come back. They definitely will."
Lan Feng wanted to say something, but suddenly Lin Chuan's voice came from outside: "What's the matter, Lan Feng, don't you trust me and Xiao Xue?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, both stood up immediately.
"Lin Chuan, did you truly eliminate the Shushan Sect?" Lan Feng was excited yet still doubting this occurrence. Everyone knows the Shushan Sect was the top Ancient Martial Sect in the martial arts world, with influence strong enough to stand against a small state.
Lin Chuan nodded: "Indeed, we wiped out the Shushan Sect. Haha, aren't you especially happy?"
"Impossible! Lin Chuan, did you really eliminate the Shushan Sect?" Both shouted in disbelief at his words.
Lin Chuan laughed: "Of course, though the one who destroyed the Shushan Sect wasn't me but Xiao Xue. I merely assisted."
At once, both turned their eyes towards Xiao Xue!
