Before approaching the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations, Ye Lan used an invisibility talisman to hide herself and He Luoluo, so their quiet approach went unnoticed by anyone.

Although the invisibility talisman failed with Da Bai last time, Ye Lan still had an inexplicable trust in the old man, and that's why he wasn't discovered this time.

He led He Luoluo to hide in a large tree not far away. The two of them stood on the thick trunk, and the dense leaves in front of them blocked their view. Although he knew that cultivators relied on their divine sense to detect spiritual energy fluctuations, as a human who had lived in modern society for twenty years, the dense leaves gave Ye Lan a greater sense of security than an invisibility talisman.

Ye Lan quietly parted some branches, revealing a crowd not far away. He estimated that there were about thirty people surrounding Jiang Ning and his group, nine of whom were dressed in black and the rest in white.

"Those people in white are from the Heavenly Sword Sect. They're the ones who chased after me and Senior Sister Wen," He Luoluo whispered in Ye Lan's ear. Ye Lan nodded in understanding.

Jiang Ning was facing him at this moment, wearing a disguise mask. He had seen Jiang Ning use it once before. At this moment, Jiang Ning was holding his usual Qingyun Sword and holding a gray-brown wolf cub in his arms. This wolf cub was probably the Tianlang Beast that He Luoluo mentioned. Jiang Nan stood behind him, the two of them back to back, to prevent others from attacking.

Senior Sister Wen Yu was slumped on the ground, using her longsword for support to keep herself from falling. There was still some blood on the corner of her mouth, indicating that she had suffered serious injuries.

A young man stood in front of Jiang Ning. Ye Lan couldn't see his face, but from his back, she could tell that he was tall and slender and must be good-looking. Ye Lan guessed that this person was Shen Feng, the young sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect. However, judging from the aura between the two of them, Ye Lan found it hard to believe that they would have a romantic relationship as described in the book.

In addition, Ye Lan hadn't read this part before transmigrating into the book. He had only read the beginning and the synopsis and couldn't guess which sect the other group of men in black belonged to. If they were powerful figures, his chances of escaping by rushing in to save them now would be slim. Putting aside their cultivation level, the fact that they were carrying Senior Sister Wen and He Luoluo, both injured, would make it difficult for them to shake off the group.

"Young hero, if you give me this Heavenly Wolf Beast, I can guarantee your safe departure and even help you resolve other troubles," Shen Feng said softly, his gentle and clean-cut demeanor making him seem very persuasive.

But in reality, Shen Feng was cursing inwardly. Wen Yu had escaped for so long by relying on the family's treasures. Now that they had caught him, he wanted to get rid of Wen Yu without anyone noticing and then steal the treasures and the Heavenly Wolf Beast. But he ran into these two people halfway and ruined his plans. There was also a group of annoying people following behind. Once he got the Heavenly Wolf Beast, he would kill all of them.

"Hmph! It's not certain who will defeat whom!" The leader of the men in black let out a cold laugh.

This person is named Bai Ye, the eldest disciple of the Blackwater Sect. The Heavenly Wolf Beast is also their target this time. They have been searching for more than half a year without being able to find a lone Heavenly Wolf Beast. This time they are so lucky that they happened to encounter an unclaimed cub while chasing their enemies. How could they possibly let it go?

Jiang Ning hugged the Sirius beast closer, as if he had taken Shen Feng's words seriously. He said, "Okay, but why should I believe you?"

He glanced around at the men in black, chuckled, and continued, "Unless you help me take care of them first."

If someone treats him like a fool and tries to fool him, then he doesn't mind treating the other person like a fool in return.

"Hmph! You're asking for death!" Upon hearing this, Bai Ye and the others immediately attacked. These two clearly didn't take them seriously, discussing how to deal with them right in front of the parties involved. They channeled their spiritual energy and launched an attack, their target being Jiang Ning.

While fighting, Jiang Ning and his companion also had to keep an eye on Senior Sister Wen to prevent the Heavenly Sword Sect from launching a sneak attack.

"Help me get rid of them, or I'll kill the Sky Wolf Beast!" Jiang Ning threatened Shen Feng, his hand gripping the Sky Wolf Beast's neck. With just a slight squeeze, the cub would be dead.

Sirius beasts only give birth to one cub every hundred years. They are very powerful and are social animals. It's hard to say when they will catch a lone Sirius beast again. Unlike Senior Sister Wen, he is not kind-hearted. Therefore, this threat is very effective for Shen Feng.

"Damn it." Shen Feng didn't hesitate. He looked at the Sky Wolf Beast struggling cautiously in Jiang Ning's hands and went straight to meet the Blackwater Sect people. The Heavenly Sword Sect people followed closely behind, and the scene instantly turned into a chaotic battle.

He Luoluo looked anxious from the tree, her hand unconsciously tugging at Ye Lan's sleeve: "Save Senior Sister."

"Okay, don't worry." Ye Lan found the right opportunity to go in and fight head-on, as there were no other plans at this point.

Just as Ye Lan was about to make a move, an unexpected event occurred. Several people arrived from a distance on their swords and rushed into the battlefield without even stopping to look.

"Ah, it's Senior Brother Song!" He Luolu was so excited she almost couldn't stop herself from speaking.

"Muyun." Senior Sister Wen couldn't help but shed tears, thinking she would never see Senior Brother Song again.

The newcomers were none other than Song Muyun and Su Bo, a group of six. All six of them possessed cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul stage, with Senior Brother Song even reaching the Out-of-Body stage. He had shared the burden with Jiang Ning by fighting Bai Ye, and with the addition of these six, their chances of escaping safely increased even further.

Seeing the situation was not good, the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect turned to attack Wen Yu. Ye Lan no longer hid and joined the battle. He rushed towards the cultivator who had ambushed Senior Sister Wen and used his sword energy to cut the flaming whip in the man's hand. This man had a fire spirit root, and with the whip on fire, Senior Sister Wen's life would be over in one lash.

"Wen Yu!" Senior Brother Song was even angrier when he saw Wen Yu being ambushed, and he directly used his sword to cut down one of the Nascent Soul cultivators who was helping Bai Ye.

They spent so much time escaping from the black hole, only to receive a sense that Wen Yu was in grave danger. Following the direction of the sense, they found them. If he had arrived any later, his Daoist partner would probably only be a corpse!

The blood splattered directly onto Ye Lan's face. He suppressed his discomfort and kept telling himself to treat it as a game.

With three Nascent Soul stage cultivators and six Nascent Soul stage cultivators on their side, the situation instantly reversed.

But the situation didn't improve for long. It seemed that the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Blackwater Sect had reached some kind of agreement and turned their attention to the Green Mountain Sect, joining forces to deal with them.

Jiang Ning's opponent has changed to Shen Feng. Shen Feng had clearly suppressed his cultivation before entering the Cloud Cave, and now he is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He is not at a disadvantage against Jiang Ning. In addition, Jiang Ning also has to protect the Heavenly Wolf Beast, so he is starting to struggle.

Just as everyone was locked in fierce fighting, a riot broke out in the distant woods, and everyone heard terrifying roars.

"Run! There's a high-level magical beast!"

Ye Lan suddenly received a warning from Xiao Bai in his mind. It was the first time he had heard Xiao Bai's voice so urgent. Without thinking, he helped Senior Sister Wen up and shouted to Jiang Ning to hurry up and leave. But before he could finish these actions, a riot broke out in the distant forest.

"Roar!"

Countless magical beasts rushed towards them, some running on the ground, others flying in the sky.

"Oh no, He Luoluo!"

Ye Lan was shocked. He had almost forgotten about this person. When he looked in He Luoluo's direction again, he broke out in a cold sweat. Where was He Luoluo in the tree?
