Running Off With The Sect Senior Sister Chapter 66

“Yun Shayi, don’t just worry about Luo Yi! She doesn’t need it. Look at me!” Luo Er shouted.
The giant behind her, for some unknown reason, kept chasing her. Its broad feet tore out from the hard ice, sending ice shards flying, accompanied by gushing fresh blood.
The giant used all its limbs, frantically smashing at Luo Er from both sides, the sound deafening.
“Damn it!” Luo Er was very fast, but someone was faster than her.
The giant python transformed into an afterimage and flashed past, rushing straight for Luo Er’s face.
“Luo Er, dodge,” Yun Shayi said.
At the same time, an overwhelming chill spread, and the surrounding temperature dropped even lower. With Yun Shayi at the center, her Flowing Fireflies appeared, and the entire sky dimmed.
Luo Tangtang looked at the faint blue light flickering in Yun Shayi’s eyes, her expression a little complicated. Unknowingly, she had become so powerful.
“Go.” Flowing Fireflies transformed into sharp blades, instantly rushing towards the giant python and that strange person. Screams echoed one after another.
The cold energy entered their bloodstreams through their wounds. Soon, two huge ice sculptures appeared.
“Let’s go, quickly.” Yun Shayi’s face was a little pale. “We need to leave immediately.”
“Okay.” Luo Tangtang hurried to support Yun Shayi. Luo Er, her small face also pale, ran to their side.
Please, Main God, if I can get back safely, I’ll definitely cultivate properly. Luo Er shivered uncontrollably as she looked at the giant python, its cavernous, blood-red mouth still open.
The traces Yun Shayi left would inevitably be exposed.
“Go that way,” Luo Tangtang said, looking at Yun Shayi.
Yun Shayi looked troubled. “Left, I suppose.”
“Mm, let’s go right,” Luo Er said.
Yun Shayi and Luo Tangtang both stared at her.
“What are you looking at me for?” Luo Er felt a tightness in her chest and rolled her eyes fiercely. “I still want to live! You two don’t even care if I live or die.”
“Then… then let’s go right.” Yun Shayi seemed a little guilty, her gaze evasive as she touched her nose.
Luo Tangtang also said little and quickly led them to the right.
The wind whistled past their ears as the surrounding scenery changed. Before long, they walked out of the swamp and into a tall mountain that looked as if it had been riddled with holes like a sieve.
The tall mountain’s grayish-brown surface was exposed. More unsettling was that the entire mountain was hollowed out, riddled with densely packed holes.
“How do we navigate this?” They were all a bit stunned.
“Why don’t we just pick a cave and go in?” Luo Er asked tentatively.
“I don’t think so.” Yun Shayi frowned. “I have a good feeling about that mountain peak next to it.”
She pointed to a small earthen hill nearby.
“Are you sure?” Luo Er’s mouth twitched. “That small earthen hill isn’t big. Compared to this tall mountain next to it, it’s just a tiny mound.”
Will there be magic artifacts in there?
“I feel like it’s beckoning to me,” Yun Shayi said with a straight face.
“Then let’s go over there!” Luo Tangtang said.
“You just spoil her,” Luo Er muttered.
Besides, these so-called fortuitous encounters aren’t very useful to them anyway, because there aren’t any real ones. The Main God hadn’t given them any special advantages when they arrived.
Thinking of this, Luo Er’s expression turned somewhat mournful.
The small mound truly lived up to its name—there was nothing there. Only the scenery was pleasant, with winding paths leading to secluded spots that held their own unique charm.
“Clang.” A loud noise came from the neighboring mountain.
Luo Er glanced at the two people beside her.
“Screech.” The sound of fighting.
Soon, it was accompanied by the roars of wild beasts.
But on their side, it was completely silent.
“Should we… should we turn back?” Yun Shayi asked.
“No need,” Luo Er said decisively.
“Danger doesn’t necessarily mean a good fortuitous encounter. Truly good fortuitous encounters and great luck come from breaking through oneself in favorable circumstances.”
“But…” Yun Shayi started to speak.
“You have to believe in yourself,” Luo Er interrupted, her face completely serious. “You’re a favored child of the heavens, you know.”
“…”
“Ahem, we don’t need to go looking for danger over every little thing. Right, Yun Shayi?” Luo Er coughed a few times, catching her breath.
“Right,” Yun Shayi said, suppressing a laugh.
Actually, she was just saying it for fun. Going back now would be troublesome and unrewarding.
“Alright then, let’s just wander around this little mound and enjoy the scenery.” Luo Er immediately grinned, her eyes crinkling. She ran ahead cheerfully, then turned back to Luo Tangtang.
A moment of silence.
Luo Er’s smile froze on her lips.
Luo Tangtang and Yun Shayi both had somewhat complicated expressions.
Luo Er stiffened. A cave…
Damn it! I knew the Main God favored Yun Shayi, but I didn’t expect it to be this unprincipled, this shameless!
Seeing the two large, crookedly written words above the cave entrance—”Fortuitous Encounter”—Luo Tangtang looked rather embarrassed.
Yun Shayi, however, looked thoughtful. After a moment, she turned to Luo Tangtang and said seriously, “Senior Sister, although this might sound a bit far-fetched…”
She paused, her expression even more serious. “But I feel like there’s a power, as if by fate, attracting me.”
Luo Er, at the side, slowly turned her head, complaining inwardly.
No, it’s not far-fetched at all. She really does have that kind of aura.
“Let’s go in and see!” Luo Tangtang pursed her lips.
The cave wasn’t dark. Night-luminescent pearls embedded in the walls made it as bright as day. They walked on fragrant grass, the air as warm as a spring breeze. It felt less like they were exploring a mystic realm and more like they were heading to a grand banquet.
‘The Main God’s helper. My tone is a bit disdainful.’
‘But the Main God is really good to Yun Shayi. First you, and now these fortuitous encounters, tsk tsk,’ Luo Er lamented.
“‘Me?’” A trace of confusion flashed in Luo Tangtang’s eyes.
Just as she was about to ask, Yun Shayi suddenly stopped.
They seemed to have reached the center of the cave. In the very middle, there was a lamp with a cluster of Netherworld Azure Flames floating above it.
Faint blue… flames! Luo Tangtang’s heart leaped, and her pupils contracted.
How could it be this! The pain in her heart almost suffocated her. Her scalp tingled as if it were being pulled, her thoughts pried open and drifting from her mind. She saw that chaotic scene, saw the mangled, bloody person collapsing in her arms, Netherworld Azure Flames dancing on their body.
“This is…” A trace of confusion flickered across Yun Shayi’s face. She stepped forward and slowly reached out her hand, only to be roughly grabbed the next moment.
“Senior Sister?” Yun Shayi’s mind cleared, but a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. “What’s wrong?”
Luo Tangtang was breathing rapidly. She took a deep, suppressive breath and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s very dangerous.”
“But I can feel it bears me no ill will,” Yun Shayi argued.
Ever since she stepped into this cave, she had felt a tremor in her soul. She had this persistent feeling, an understanding that this flame was meant to be hers.
“I said no!” Luo Tangtang roared.
“Luo Yi!” Luo Er quickly grabbed Luo Tangtang, somewhat exasperated.
‘What are you doing? Interfering with the destiny of the world’s protagonist? Are you crazy? What were you thinking?’
“No, I can’t, I really can’t.” Luo Tangtang didn’t look at Luo Er, her whole body trembling. She gripped Yun Shayi’s wrist tightly, almost helpless.
“Senior Sister, what’s wrong with you?” Yun Shayi was somewhat anxious.
She held Luo Tangtang’s hand with both of hers; it was ice-cold, without a trace of warmth.
“I… I.” Luo Tangtang opened her mouth, wanting to tell Yun Shayi that the Netherworld Azure Flame was very dangerous, that it had killed her, that Yun Shayi couldn’t go near it, that she had to stay far away. But the words caught in her throat; she couldn’t get them out.
What’s wrong? Why can’t I say it? Why?
Luo Tangtang suddenly doubled over, her hand desperately clutching her own throat as she began to cough violently.
Why can’t I make a sound? Why?
Her coughing grew more intense. Luo Tangtang gripped her throat fiercely, her smooth fingertips leaving bloody scratches.
“Senior Sister, let go!” Yun Shayi hurriedly tried to pull Luo Tangtang’s hand away. “What on earth is wrong with you?”
Luo Er, at the side, was also growing anxious.
Luo Tangtang straightened up, gripping Yun Shayi tightly.
Can’t. Can’t touch it.
“Quick… go.” Luo Tangtang’s lips felt as heavy as lead. She forced the words out, the taste of blood filling her throat.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a series of cracks and snaps—the sound of bones breaking.
All the bones in Luo Tangtang’s body shattered.
“Senior Sister!” Yun Shayi roared. “How could this happen?”
“Number One, don’t, don’t be like this!” Luo Er blurted out, choosing her words poorly.
“You’ll suffer terribly if this continues! Don’t try to stop it! Don’t go against the Lord!”
“Yun… Yun Shayi, quickly!” Luo Er’s eyes were filled with panic. Faint sounds of bones knocking together came from Luo Tangtang’s wrists.
“Go absorb the Netherworld Azure Flame! That’s the only way to save her! Go!” Luo Er forcefully pushed Yun Shayi.
Yun Shayi, her mind solely on Luo Tangtang, was unexpectedly pushed to the ground. Panic and helplessness filled her face as she mechanically climbed to her feet. Her mind was blank. Yun Shayi mechanically got up from the floor, her gaze fixed on Luo Tangtang and the stand where the flame was.
The Netherworld Azure Flame grew excited by her approach. Yun Shayi stretched out her hand, and the flame leaped into her palm. Then, it suddenly transformed into a torrent of fire, engulfing her.
Almost instantly, Luo Tangtang’s figure became obscured by the flames as she rushed towards Yun Shayi.
Luo Er tightly gripped Luo Tangtang. “She (Yun Shayi) won’t die!” Luo Er roared angrily, her eyes bloodshot, her whole being somewhat frantic.
She really wanted to pry open Luo Tangtang’s skull to see what on earth was going on in there!
“It’s one thing if it’s your usual recklessness with trivial matters!”
“I know.” Luo Tangtang still ignored her, wanting to get closer to Yun Shayi.
“You know nothing!” Luo Er truly became agitated.
The immense energy contained within the Netherworld Azure Flame spread throughout the cave. As the temperature rose, the cave suddenly began to shake violently.
