It was too late.
Since Chen Jie had gone on a killing spree, how could he let them go?
"Let's scatter and run!"
The remaining eight knew that if they stayed together, they would only present an opportunity for Chen Jie. Someone immediately voiced this.
As the eight were about to break apart.
"Trying to escape?"
Chen Jie's gaze sharpened, and he moved his other hand behind his back, making a strange gesture.
"What's that smell?"
"It's so fragrant!"
The eight were stunned.
Chen Jie struck out with a palm strike like lightning, and immediately their attempts to flee slowed down.
One by one, their faces contorted with struggle, as if they were very reluctant to leave.
Bewildering Palm!
This was a new ability Chen Jie had developed.
Using his mental power, he unleashed a palm strike to momentarily control their minds.
At the instant Chen Jie unleashed this palm strike.
Shi Tou Feng's eyes snapped open.
She looked at Chen Jie with disbelief.
But Chen Jie did not notice her and continued to hack with his sword.
Swish, swish, swish...
In the blink of an eye, five elders were already slain.
Fang Shaohua's thoughts continuously echoed from the bronze sword: "So satisfying, so satisfying... Revenge feels amazing!"
"Enough! Chen Jie, you have no deep-seated hatred for our Shadow Sect. How about we reconcile and let this matter go, hmm?"
The effects of Chen Jie's Bewildering Palm seemed to have worn off, and the remaining three individuals regained their clarity.
The Grand Elder looked at Chen Jie with surprise and wanted to make peace.
"You set up an ambush here, weren't you trying to kill me? And you call this not a deep-seated hatred?"
Chen Jie retorted mockingly.
"We didn't know you were this strong. If we had known, we wouldn't have dared to oppose you, and we would have even invited you to be our Deputy Sect Master! Let's just forget about today's events. Our Shadow Sect is not your enemy!" said the Grand Elder.
"Tell me, who revealed my location to you?"
Chen Jie asked.
"No one revealed it," the Grand Elder blurted out.
Without a word, Chen Jie unleashed a powerful sword strike, cleaving another elder in half.
The Grand Elder let out a scream.
He cursed, "I'm telling you, stop killing people at the drop of a hat! It was Zhao Zilong! Zhao Zilong revealed your location to us!"
"Alright, then you can die."
Chen Jie smiled and attacked again with his sword.
"Ah! You're actually going to kill me! Do you really want to be irreconcilable with our Shadow Sect? Stop, quickly!"
The Grand Elder cried out.
He also used a sword, but against Chen Jie, he could barely parry.
Seeing the Tenth Elder standing far away, he shouted, "Tenth Elder, save me quickly! Let's escape together!"
Now that he was entangled with Chen Jie, he felt he could hold on for a while longer.
As long as the Tenth Elder used her whip to entangle him and pull him away from Chen Jie, there would still be a chance to escape.
"Okay, Tenth Elder, I'll save you right away."
The Tenth Elder nodded vigorously, suddenly swung her long whip, and with a crack, it struck the Grand Elder from a distance.
The Grand Elder's back was ripped open, with a pit about ten centimeters deep.
"You slut! You trash! How dare you attack me! Don't let me catch you, or I'll torture you to death! Everyone you know will die, ahhhh..."
The Grand Elder roared in uncontrollable rage.
However, the Tenth Elder ignored him, shouted to Chen Jie, "I've kept him here for you. I didn't intend to kill you earlier, so don't chase me. Goodbye!"
With that, she turned and fled at full speed.
The Grand Elder was clearly finished.
Chen Jie ended him with a sword strike but did not intend to let the Tenth Elder go.
Since these people wanted his life, he naturally wouldn't let them off the hook.
He immediately threw his sword forward, ran out of the canyon, leaped into the air, and then the sword descended from above, steadily carrying Chen Jie as he flew forward rapidly.
Riding a flying sword.
Initially, Chen Jie could only perform simple sword manipulation, but now he was close to the Foundation Establishment stage, and Fang Shaohua had become the spirit of the sword, so it was not difficult for Chen Jie to perform.
The Tenth Elder ran for more than ten kilometers before stopping, gasping for breath.
She thought she must have shaken him off by now, right?
But when she turned around, she was struck by lightning.
Chen Jie was indeed pursuing her, riding a flying sword.
This, this...
The Tenth Elder was both shocked and despairing.
Riding a flying sword, what kind of ability was this? Was he even human?
"Please, give me a chance to live. I'm willing to be your slave!"
With a thud, the Tenth Elder knelt on the ground and begged Chen Jie for mercy.
"Be my slave? You are not worthy!"
Chen Jie unleashed a sword strike, severing the Tenth Elder's head, and then picked up her long whip and left.
This long whip was very powerful and a good item.
From the beginning, Chen Jie had decided to take the long whip from the Tenth Elder.
Although he couldn't use it himself, he could give it to Lin Mengjiao.
Having done all this, Chen Jie hastily returned the way he came.
However, as he passed the previous canyon, Chen Jie's gaze unconsciously drifted to a distant rock.
He always felt that this rock was unusual.
But after examining it for a while, he found nothing amiss and had to leave again.
Before long, he found Sheng Guofu and the others.
"Chen Jie, you're finally back!" Lin Shuang said, relieved to see Chen Jie.
Chen Jie nodded, and Sheng Guofu quickly asked, "Chen Jie, what happened to that man in black?"
"He's dead."
"That's good. It seems someone wanted to use this opportunity to harm us! Chen Jie, do you know who they were?"
Sheng Guofu asked.
"This matter concerns me. They were all from the Shadow Sect."
Chen Jie did not tell Sheng Guofu about the Shadow Sect's collusion with Zhao Zilong.
"I see. Then Chen Jie, you must be careful."
Chen Jie said, "I suspect the Shadow Sect will not give up easily. This place is no longer suitable for you to stay. Why don't you leave directly?"
Sheng Guofu and the others discussed it. Since some people were already injured, leaving didn't matter much.
So he asked Lin Shuang, "Do you want to leave with us?"
"No, no, I want to stay," Lin Shuang quickly replied.
"Alright then, let's go."
Sheng Guofu said to the others.
Immediately, they began to depart.
Before long, only Chen Jie and Lin Shuang remained.
"What do we do now?" Lin Shuang asked Chen Jie.
Chen Jie said, "You should have left with Sheng Guofu and the others!"
"Heh heh, aren't you by my side?" Lin Shuang said casually.
Chen Jie remained silent and continued walking towards the place where he had disembarked earlier.
Lin Shuang didn't know why Chen Jie still wanted to come here, but she didn't say much, just followed behind him.
At this moment, the colorful clouds Chen Jie saw were even more intense than before.
