Chapter 1055 - 1053: Reunion with an Old Acquaintance
The cultivators who were fleeing all had the strength of the True Lake Realm, and the spirit force fluctuations emanating from the leader were at the level of True Lake Level 6.
It was a squad of four, with quite respectable strength.
Yet, they were still being chased into a dead end because the Insect Race hunting them down was unexpectedly of the Divine Sea Realm.
The quartet was out to hunt the Insect Race, as were many such squads scattered across the Nine Provinces. Initially, everything went smoothly, and they delved deeper boldly, until they unexpectedly encountered an opponent they couldn't rival.
Now, among the four, one was grievously injured, held in the arms of a companion, covered in blood.
The other two were using their respective skills to fend off the attacks of the Insect Race from behind, one was a magic cultivator wielding considerable casting power, and the other seemed to be a Ghost Cultivator, but in such circumstances, their contributions were extremely limited.
The Ghost Cultivator sect excels at stealth and surprise attacks, but when forced into a head-on confrontation, their overall strength diminishes. For such a sect, if they miss, they retreat swiftly beyond a thousand miles.
Given the situation, if the Ghost Cultivator abandoned their companions and fled, there was a chance for survival, since he was the fastest. He didn't need to be faster than the Divine Sea Realm Insect Race, just faster than his three companions.
Yet, he clearly had no intention to escape alone, and matched the magic cultivator's efforts to desperately defend.
Such a task was originally meant for a physique cultivator, and there was one in the team initially, but he had already fallen heroically. With no alternative, the Ghost Cultivator had to step up.
Lu Ye suddenly found the Ghost Cultivator familiar, and upon closer inspection, was astonished.
How did this guy end up here? Wasn't he supposed to be over at Gushan City Pass?
