Chapter 158
After a moment of silence, the other old man spoke,
"Anyone who wants to join this old master should come behind me."Many cultivators hesitated for a moment as their gaze moved between the three masters, before almost half of the dozens of surviving cultivators walked over to the side of this old man.
The man stroked his beard and nodded faintly.The other old man also cleared his throat and spoke, "if you trust this old man, then come along with me."
This time, there was no hesitation as the remaining people flocked over to the side of this second man, leaving only seven others standing; five males and two females.
"Good. Since you all believe in this old me, then this old me will not let you down and will lead you to safety." The second old man nodded with appreciation.
Long Feng was among the seven others who didn't move and Hua Liuli naturally remained with him. He frowned upon seeing the current situation. He could understand that the group was to be broken into three so as to reduce the risk of being recaptured, but this was too much.
Everyone else had gone to the sides of the two old spirit level masters, but as for the other young lady, only seven people remained on her side.
He could guess why though. This was the yin ghosts forest, where out of ten people, only one might survive. Not to mention that they were currently trapped in the center of the forest. Out of a hundred imperial level masters, perhaps all of them would perish here. These people naturally wanted to follow behind a strong master who could possibly protect them to some extent.
The young lady surnamed Lan currently wasn't in an encouraging situation. She was severely injured in the previous battle after fighting two spirit rank Yin ghosts and had her injuries worsened by the final counterattack and explosion of the spirit level yin ghost. She was currently only able to unleash the strength of a rank three or four spirit level cultivator. It was obvious from her fluctuating aura.
In her current state, any of these two old men could easily defeat her, not to mention other unfathomable existences within the forest. Forget protecting a group of people, she was unable to protect herself!
In this circumstance, those two old men were far more reliable. Even though being among a large group of people like this would make then to be a pretty conspicuous target for the yin ghosts, it was better than risking their lives with a weaker person.
Even these seven people who remained, they mainly didn't join the other two groups because they were afraid that their group would be hunted down by the yin soldier. In this case, being part of a smaller group was safer, though the risk of death was far higher.
The young lady hesitated slightly before speaking. "You can come with me if you wish".
Personally, she preferred to be alone and not part of a group, especially when everyone else would be relying on her to protect them. If she was alone, she could use some secret formations given to her by her seniors in the clan before she left. She would use the formations to conceal herself and wait for the masters of the four regions to arrive which would be in a few days at most.
But now, she could only accept these seven people.
There not too much. Hopefully, they shouldn't be too much of a burden.The seven people slowly walked over and stood behind the lady. Long Feng also stood behind her. In his opinion, joining a large group in such a dangerous place like the yin ghost forest was simply the recipe for seeking disaster. They would be an obvious target and would easily be spotted and hunted down by a powerful Yin ghost.
