Chapter 202
Similar ambushes to Xiao Yize’s ordeal occurred across the eastern line battlefield.
To eliminate Tiger-Chasing’s young talents, the Eastern Wilderness deployed Gathering Qi cultivators vastly outnumbering them.
The four most prominent figures—Shen Yue, Li Qingwan, Qiu Ran, and Yang Lingrui—received special attention.
Shen Yue’s sheer power ensured that without Condensing Essence cultivators intervening, those who challenged him either died or fled.
Li Qingwan survived two sieges, remaining undefeated through battlefield advantages inherent to martial arts cultivators and her disciplined troops.
Qiu Ran needed no explanation—the Purple Thundercloud appeared countless times over the northern front of the eastern line, each projection marking the deaths of multiple full-level cultivators.
Yet among the four, Yang Lingrui suffered the fiercest pursuit.
His "yellow wind ghost" had become a psychological plague upon Eastern Wilderness forces, driving their desperate resolve to eradicate him.
More Eastern Wilderness cultivators hunted him than any other target.
