Monarch of Time

Sounds of bones being chewed and gnawed on resounded in the silent forest, accompanied by the young man's terrified screams as he suddenly lost the bottom half of his body.

Barely a moment later, a green wisp of smoke left the young man's body, and without any hesitation, it flew in the distance as far away from the forest as possible!

Although he clearly knew that it was dangerous, the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul cultivator had still abandoned his body in the end, and flew away using his Nascent Soul alone.

In practically an instant, a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul cultivator had been forced to abandon his body and survive solely with his soul.

Hua Ping and the other 2 cultivators at the peak of rank 3 were left dumbfounded as they stared at the scene in front of them, not knowing what to do next.

They had clearly pushed Xie Xingyi to an inch of her life, expending a lot of their qi as well as their trump cards in the process, and yet someone else was coming here in the last moment to steal their spoils?

The hungry Death Eater however didn't give the 3 young men any time to think over their options, as it jumped forward, this time heading straight for Hua Ping.

A look of hate appeared on his face as Hua Ping stared at the gigantic monster that was moving towards him as well as the white-robed young woman that was sitting on its back, before he shouted in a decisive tone

''Retreat!''

Without waiting for a response from the other 2 people in his group, the purple-robed Hua Ping immediately turned around and fled directly, as he headed for the entrance of the forest.

The other 2 young men in his group had unwilling looks on their faces, but in the end, they still chose to retreat as well while undisguised looks of hate and killing intent were plastered on their faces.

Although they didn't want to retreat and would rather fight the gigantic black beast to the death, they had already expended more than 70 percent of their qi while they were chasing after and trapping Xie Xingyi.

At the same time, the enormous 'magic beast' seemed to be even stronger than what they had originally estimated, able to kill a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage expert almost instantly!

Watching these people leave with hateful looks in their eyes, Liu Mei didn't chase after them, and instead, she stopped the hungry Death Eater right in its tracks.

She could feel the hunger coming from the beast's soul as it was ready to devour the 3 remaining peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts, but she still used her soul sense to suppress the Death Eater's hunger before she turned her attention towards Xie Xingyi.

Liu Mei then stood up from her sitting position, as she slowly floated towards Xie Xingyi's direction.

The gorgeous young woman in green robes had a mesmerizing smile on her face as she looked at the white-robed young woman that was standing in front of her, before she bowed slightly with some difficulty. Then, taking out a small, golden token from her green robes that were stained with mud and blood, she handed it to Liu Mei before she said with that same smile on her face

''This is the Holy sect's token. I hope that you won't make it too difficult for me.''

As she handed the Holy sect's token to Liu Mei, Xie Xingyi closed her eyes and waited for death to come.

Although she knew that the 4 men from earlier would most likely not have the guts to r.a.p.e her considering that this was the Holy sect's test and the sect was most likely monitoring the test, she still didn't want those people to obtain the token from her. This was even more so for the purple-robed Hua Ping whom she found utterly detestable.

As for Liu Mei, it didn't matter if she did it to obtain the Holy sect's token from her, in the end, she still nearly killed one of those people while forcing the other 3 of them to retreat.

Of course, Xie Xingyi wasn't naive enough to think that whoever took the Holy sect's token from her would allow her to live.

Taking the golden token in her hands Liu Mei examined it carefully before she actually placed it back in Xie Xingyi's own hands barely a moment later.

Then, with an equally mesmerizing smile on her face that could capture the hearts of both men and women alike, she lifted her white veil and looked at Xie Xingyi before she asked in a curious voice

''Are you related to madam Xie Rong?''

A stunned expression appeared on Xie Xingyi's face when she heard this question, while at the same time she involuntarily opened her previously closed eyes.

Seeing how Liu Mei had not taken the Holy sect's token from her and had instead asked her this question, caused tempestuous waves to rise in Xie Xingyi's heart.

At the same time, as she opened her eyes, Xie Xingyi was stunned when her eyes took in Liu Mei's peerlessly beautiful face, but suppressing the shock in her heart, she nodded her head in response before she asked in a tone that was obviously unable to hide her disbelief

''Do you know my elder sister?''

''Sister?''

This time it was Liu Mei's turn to be shocked when she heard Xie Xingyi addressing Xie Rong as her sister. After taking a more careful look at Xie Xingyi's facial features, Liu Mei actually nodded her head lightly.

Indeed, her blonde hair and her bright emerald eyes as well as her facial features, despite being different at the same time, they still greatly resembled Xie Rong's.

Although Liu Mei had originally guessed that Xie Xingyi just happened to be from the same 'Xie family' as Xie Rong, after a few moments of thought, she realized that it was very likely for the 2 of them to truly be blood-related sisters in the end.

After all, Xie Rong was a beauty as well.

Even if she paled ever-so-slightly in comparison to Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi, she was definitely a stunning beauty in her own right.

Finally, a few moments later, Liu Mei had a serious expression on her face as she seemed to have made up her mind as she kept staring at Xie Xingyi.

Knowing that she didn't have too much time until the effects of the 'Blood Ignition pill' wore off, which would place both her and Xie Xingyi in a passive position if they ended up in danger, Liu Mei closed her eyes for a moment, before she suddenly opened them again barely a moment later and said seriously

''Let's find a place to hide for now.

Otherwise, if any peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators find us, we will definitely be in a lot of trouble.''

Although she was stunned for a second, Xie Xingyi didn't refuse and simply nodded her head in response, before she saw Liu Mei holding her right arm and soaring in the sky, until they both sat on the enormous black beast's back.

The reason why she didn't refuse was because, not only did Liu Mei seem to know her elder sister somehow, but she also didn't seem to want to take her Holy sect's token from her.

If Liu Mei really wanted to kill her, she would have no way to resist even if she went all out.

At the same time, Xie Xingyi didn't feel any hostile intentions from the peerlessly beautiful young woman in front of her either, finally lowering her final mental barrier and allowing Liu Mei to take her along with her.

15 minutes later, Liu Mei found a small, isolated cave inside the forest, covered by many tall trees and bushes.

Then, under Xie Xingyi's shocked eyes, she had the Death Eater spit out the complete corpses of the old man in black robes, the snake-eyed man, and the old woman in red armor, before she allowed the enormous undead monster to disappear.

A huge black hole that was exuding large amounts of death qi slowly appeared on the ground, before the gigantic Death Eater entered inside it and disappeared in front of Liu Mei and Xie XIngyi.

Without any hesitation, Liu Mei then threw the 3 corpses inside the cave, before she and Xie Xingyi also entered inside.

...

At the same time that Liu Mei and Xie XIngyi had hidden themselves inside the cave, Shun Long had already arrived at the north of the city, staring at the colossal fight that was taking place between the golden-robed young man, 'Senior brother Qiong' and his group that was fighting against the black-robed young woman's group.

The moment that Shun Long arrived at the scene, he could feel 3 pairs of eyes that were suddenly focused in his direction, like 3 hungry magic beasts that were staring at a defenseless beast that had suddenly stepped into their territory.
