Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 88

Looking at Zhu Long, who was also suppressed by Dong Puti, Yan Chutian, whose face was covered in faint blood, forced a smile. With this, he finally obtained the Thousand Year Essence Flame.

However, due to his recklessness, Dong Puti, who had knocked Zhu Long unconscious, immediately shouted, "Let's go! These two people were merely Lu Yang's vanguard. Lu Yang will be here soon, so we should leave as soon as possible! "

Dong Puti's words were like a bucket of water that instantly woke Yan Chutian up. At this moment, how could he not know that he was careless? If he was a little slower and let Lu Yang come, then they would absolutely not be able to escape today.

After all, Lu Yang was in the Elixir Realm, which was the higher realm of the two!

In the blink of an eye, the two of them shot out and retreated through the tunnel they came from. Both of them were extremely fast, and while retreating, many of the surrounding disciples were confused and had no idea what was happening.

However, even though the two were so fast, when they were halfway back, Dong Puti's pretty face suddenly changed. He stopped Yan Chutian and urgently whispered, "Lu Yang is here!"

Yan Chutian opened his spirit eyes and turned his head. Sure enough, there were some figures rushing from the tunnel ahead. The red-robed youth who led them had a powerful aura that had surpassed the scope of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He could only be in the Elixir Realm!

Therefore, if he was not Lu Yang whom Dong Puti spoke of, who else was he?

However, the more urgent the situation was, Yan Chutian increasingly told himself to calm down. He knew that Lu Yang should not know about the fight between them and his subordinates. This is an opportunity.

Hence, Yan Chutian hurriedly whispered, "Pretend to be an ordinary cultivation disciple. He doesn't know what just happened."

Dong Puti was intelligent and immediately understood Yan Chutian's thoughts. He could not help but praise the calm thoughts of the man in front of him. He really thought of a solution when he was still panicking.

Therefore, he forced himself to calm down, and walked slowly beside Yan Chutian. In an instant, the two of them changed from their original appearance of fleeing anxiously to the scene back from cultivating. If this scene was seen by others, they would be so shocked that it gaped.

At the same time, Lu Yang led a number of people and passed through the two at an extremely fast speed. Right now, Yan Chutian and Dong Puti were extremely nervous, as success or failure would be determined right now.

Fortunately, Lu Yang did not seem to notice them when he passed by with a few people, causing the two of them to secretly sigh in relief. However, after a few sighs of relief, the fast-moving Lu Yang actually looked back at them with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

This gaze made the two of them feel as if their hearts were in their throats and their bodies were stiffening. They were ready to flee at any moment. Do not see how they moved forward slowly, they could explode at a speed that would leave many stages of Spirit Transformation Peak in the dust.

Fortunately, the situation that both of them were worried about did not happen. Although Lu Yang turned his head, he hesitated for a while before finally leaving, disappearing into the depths of the Fire Cave with the people behind him.

At the same time, Yan Chutian and Dong Puti had a relieved smile on their faces as they faced towards Lu Yang disappearing. The two looked at each other and then shot at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding.

When the two of them were about to leave the Fire Cave, Lu Yang finally saw the miserable state of Zhu Long and Zhu Feng. Both fainted!

Right then and there, without even waking them up to ask, he could guess what might have happened. Therefore, he recalled the two people he had met on the street that had left him confused.

It was only fitting that he felt a familiar burning aura from the two of them. Wasn't that the Thousand Year Essence Fire that he had been searching for with great difficulty?

But now that everything had become like this, there was nothing he could do, because according to his estimation, the two of them had escaped from the Fire Cave. And once they came out of the Fire Cave, there would be sect rules and many pairs of eyes watching him. How could he dare to casually approach another disciple?

However, Lu Yang would remember this. Since they dared to make him suffer, he would make them pay double in the future!

…

"Oh .. We're finally out!"

Dong Puti, who had escaped from the Fire Cave, could not help but cry. His previously depressed emotions were finally released. Leaving the Fire Cave meant that the competition could not happen again. This was the rule of the Tianji Sect, and even the Sacred Disciples were unable to break it. Otherwise, how could a low-level disciple be safe from a high-level disciple?

At the same time, Yan Chutian let out a sigh of relief. After leaving the Fire Cave, the Thousand Year Essence Flame was something that truly belonged to him. Even if Lu Yang appeared before him, he would not be able to fight against him.

Now that he had obtained the Thousand Year Essence Flame, he could begin to cultivate the Mysterious Scriptures!

Thinking of this, he could not help but faintly smile. He was very happy with the Mysterious Scripture. After all, this was a mysterious spirit art that was in demand by countless geniuses and even the strongest cultivators in the Heaven Realm. He was very curious about what strength he had.

"Don't celebrate too early. Even though Lu Yang had yet to see our true faces, he would eventually find out that it was we who stole the thousand-year-old essence fire through the traces left behind by Zhu Long and Zhu Feng."

"At that time, even if he doesn't do anything to us openly, he will definitely do something secretly."

At this point, Dong Puti could only mutter to himself. He pursed his lips and said, "I really don't know if I should help you or not. If Lu Yang recognized me and sent some people to stop me during the Sacred Disciple Selection, it would be very bad."

"The position of the Sacred Disciple is related to whether I can step into the Elixir realm as quickly as possible. This is very important!"

Hearing Dong Puti's whisper, Yan Chutian was not worried at all. He smiled faintly and said, "At most, my older sister and I will cooperate with you during the Sacred Disciple Selection. This way, you don't have to worry. "

"You also want to participate in the Sacred Disciple Selection ?!"

Dong Puti was shocked. He found it hard to accept that a new disciple would participate in the Sacred Disciple Selection this quickly. However, after thinking about it carefully, he did not say anything as Yan Chutian's strength had indeed reached the level to participate.

"Even .. even if there's you and your sister, there's only the three of us. However, that Lu Yang had many people under him. Moreover, he was conspiring with the other Holy Disciple, Qin Yi. Who knows, there might be two groups of people standing in our way."

"By the way, what is the power of your sister? Is he a monster like you, or …"

"Hehe .. My older sister is naturally stronger than me. Moreover, during the Selection of the Sacred Disciple, that would-be Holy Disciple would not be much in my eyes ..."
