Running through the rainbow crown tree forest, Qing Yi and Chu Yang soon found themselves reaching the end of the forest as a large river appeared in front of both of them, a large open terrain spreading out in front of them.
The river itself ran straight through the Pure Heart Island and ran from a small body of water at the centre of the island out into the Pure Heart Lake.
"Let's go-"
"We should follow the river back towards the shore along the edge of the rainbow crown tree forest! Going onto the other side without any cover would easily reveal our position…" Just before Qing Yi could make his way over the river and keep going straight, Chu Yang stopped her.
When it came to experience with escaping from someone with a stronger cultivation realm than himself, Chu Yang was far more experienced than Qing Yi and he knew through personal experience that crossing the river and going straight through such an open terrain with no places to hide, was a terrible idea…
"True…" Looking over the mostly open land with no places to hide for them on the other side of the river, Qing Yi quickly agreed with what Chu Yang said and stopped herself from jumping over the river and instead decided to listen to Chu Yang.
Whoosh~
With Chu Yang now leading the way instead of Qing Yi, both of them began proceeding forward more smoothly as they made their way towards the shore of the Pure Heart Island.
The more important thing was that now with Chu Yang having recovered from the shock of suddenly being dragged to run away with Qing Yi, he could help make sure they didn't leave any too obvious traces behind while escaping.
After all, Qing Yi had no experience when it came to escaping from someone… Compared to Chu Yang who had once spent weeks escaping from the Black Rose Sect's people!
In the end, Chu Yang even began throwing out several fake clues to the person following them.
Some clues suggesting they escaped towards the other side of the river and some to suggest they had made their way back into the rainbow crown tree forest towards the battlefield of the blue spiders and the Ghost Howl Sect.
With all of this in mind, Chu Yang hoped that the person following them would be slowed down and if possible, completely shake him off their tail as he went in the direction one of his fake clues pointed out…
"…"
Qing Yi didn't understand much of what Chu Yang was doing as they were escaping. Only silently observing from the side as he stopped for a few seconds to break a few branches on the ground leading deeper inside the rainbow crown tree forest or rip off a small part of his clothes before placing it on the ground on the other side of the river.
All of this was new to her, so Qing Yi just decided to just obediently do whatever Chu Yang said while escaping!
…
"What in the world is this!?"
At the same time, the Core Formation Realm Expert following closely behind them had just arrived by the river before following after Chu Yang and Qing Yi. Only to curse loudly the next moment when he discovered he had followed a wrong lead.
"When did they grow experienced in hiding their escape path…?"
Gritting his teeth as he returned to where he had been a moment ago. Only to discover several more leads than he had before, the Core Formation Expert from the Ghost Howl Sect was not happy in the slightest as he realized most of the leads were likely to be fake.
"Hah… At least I know that those two will be trying to find a way off the Pure Heart Island now that they offended the Ghost Howl Sect..." With this in mind, the Core Formation Expert of the Ghost Howl Sect chose to ignore the different clues left behind by Chu Yang and instead trusted in his prediction.
Whoosh!
Utilizing his movement technique to its peak, the Core Formation Expert of the Ghost Howl Sect let out a scary smile as he disappeared back into the rainbow crown tree forest.
No matter what, he could not return to his young mater without bringing the two troublemakers back with him…
…
"Looks like we escaped…"
Having made their way to the shore of the Pure Heart Island without encountering the Core Formation Realm Expert along the way, Chu Yang came to a stop as he told Qing Yi with a smile on his face while looking back towards the direction they had just come from.
"Are you sure…?" Not sure that they had escaped yet, Qing Yi glanced in the same direction as Chu Yang, just that instead of having a confident smile on her face like Chu Yang, Qing Yi was still on edge as she asked him.
"Yeah, if he had still been after us at this point in time, he would have already caught up with us!"
Hearing Chu Yang say this in a confident tone, Qing Yi began relaxing a bit before turning to look out on the calm Pure Heart Lake.
"Now we just need to get back and get a ship back to the Pure Heart City before making our way back to the sect… I wonder if anything happened while we were gone…"
"I don't think much will have changed, but I'm curious how far our new junior brother has managed to progress over the past week or so…"
Splash~
As Qing Yi and Chu Yang were taking a short moment to relax before continuing their journey towards the area on Pure Heart Island where the boats were located, a large splashing sound could be heard coming from behind them.
Followed by the large splash, both Qing Yi and Chu Yang witnessed for the first time what the demon beasts lurking in the depths of the Pure Heart Lake looked like, as a giant fish like creature the size of a small building burst out from the surface of the water before flying towards both of them.
Bang!
Before Chu Yang and Qing Yi even had time to get out of the way of the giant fish demon beast that had suddenly been sent flying landed just a few meters beside them.
"Wha-"
Whoosh
Qing Yi barely manged to get a sound out from her mouth as the giant fish demon beast was grabbed by an enormous tentacle that appeared out of nowhere, as it coiled around the fish demon beast before dragging it back into the Pure Heart Lake.𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Roar!
Splash!
"…"
The entire process only took a little over five seconds and both Qing Yi and Chu Yang had no idea what they just witnessed… But one thing was for certain, both of them had started to understand why nobody dared to swim across the Pure Heart Lake to reach the Pure Heart Island.
Other than that, the giant roaring fish demon beast the size of a small house that they had just seen being ruthlessly thrown on shore before being dragged back down underwater, was at the Core Formation Realm…
It was not like the giant fish demon beast didn't fight back during the process, it was simply because the tentacle that coiled around it was way too powerful for it to resist, as it could only roar pitifully while being dragged back into the Pure Heart Lake…
"Let's move a bit further away from the shore…"
"Yes… Let's do that…"
Coming to a tactic understanding, Qing Yi and Chu Yang both decided to move further away from the shore of the Pure Heart Lake, they did not want to find out what kind of underwater demon beast that tentacle from earlier belonged to…
It would be far easier to deal with the Core Formation Realm Expert of the Ghost Howl Sect compared to whatever horror that tentacle was a part of…
At the same time, it also made both of them think, just how strong were the demon beasts hidden beneath the surface of the Pure Heart Lake?
The giant fish demon beast was at the Core Formation Realm, the demon beast that the tentacle belonged to would surely be stronger be a lot. Maybe it had reached the Peak of the Core Formation Realm? Or maybe, it had even reached the Nascent Soul Realm…?
Thinking about this, both Chu Yang and Qing Yi could not help but shiver as they unconsciously began moving further and further away from the shore of the Pure Heart Island.
At this point in time, both Qing Yi and Chu Yang wanted nothing more than to leave the Pure Heart Island as quickly as possible and make their way back to the Flying Sword Sect.
At least the Flying Sword Sect did not have such a terrifying lake that contained all sorts of scary demon beasts! The demon beasts inside the Pure heart Lake are probably stronger than the River Sect that are supposedly in control of it!
