473: Chapter 488 So many people bullying one person, isn't that a bit much!

An old family connection?

Regarding this divination result, the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family was filled with doubt.

He didn't know who this person in the divination was, why they would save him, or even if they existed.

But given the current situation, he couldn't afford to hesitate.

Time to gamble!

He steeled his heart, but his face remained as calm as a deep well as he looked indifferently at the group from the Tianshui Luo Family.

“Since Fellow Daoist Luo insists on this, then... excuse me.”

Before the words had even finished, the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family struck a desperate pose. Under the wary eyes of the Luo family members, his figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky towards the top of the canyon!

“Not good, he's trying to escape!”

One of the Luo family members snapped back to their senses and shouted a warning.

“Run? Can he run?!”

Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party didn't panic at all. He sneered and waved his hand.

“Chase him!”

Dozens of streaks of light lit up simultaneously, chasing after the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family!

Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party took the lead, releasing the pressure of his Late Golden Core Stage without reservation, pressing down on the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family like a great mountain.

The Luo family Cultivators behind him split into three groups: one flanking from the left, one from the right, and one in hot pursuit.

They coordinated perfectly, clearly having come prepared.

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family gritted his teeth and madly circulated his mana, pushing his speed to its absolute limit.

He knew he couldn't stop. Once he was surrounded by these dozens of people, as a Heavenly Secret Master who wasn't skilled in combat, he would surely die.

Even though he was also at the Late Golden Core Stage, the Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party chasing him was also at the Late Golden Core Stage, with a deeper cultivation base and a faster flight speed.

The distance was closing bit by bit.

“Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family, you can't escape!”

Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party's voice came from behind, unhurried and calm, like a cat playing with a mouse.

“Where do you think you can escape to? Both ends of this canyon are blocked by my Luo family. There is no path to heaven and no door into the earth!”

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family didn't answer, only flying forward with all his might.

“Why bother?”

Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party sighed, his tone carrying a hint of regret.

“My Luo family only wants to ask for your help; we don't want your life.

As long as you cooperate, things will go smoothly for everyone.

If you insist on making things unpleasant, then don't blame the Tianshui Luo Family for being unreasonable.”

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family still didn't answer. He knew Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party was trying to influence him with words.

Once he stopped, what awaited him would surely be inhumane torture.

“Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit.”

Seeing that the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family still went his own way, Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party's voice finally turned cold.

“Then don't blame me for being impolite.”

He raised his hand, and a pillar of green light shot out from his palm, heading straight for the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family's back!

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family sensed the danger and jerked his body to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

The pillar of light grazed his robes and slammed into the cliff face ahead, exploding into a deep pit several yards wide.

Flying stones splashed out, hitting the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family and causing a burning pain.

But he didn't dare stop, nor did he even dare to look back.

He could only fly desperately toward the direction indicated by the divination.

“The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family, you can't escape!”

The Luo family Cultivators flanking from the left had already caught up. Their leader was a fierce-looking man at the Mid-stage Golden Core.

He raised his hand and summoned a Flying Sword. The sword light flashed like a bolt of silk, aiming straight for the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family's neck!

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family dodged in a panic. The Flying Sword grazed his shoulder, leaving a mist of blood.

He let out a muffled groan, his figure stumbling as his speed suddenly slowed.

The Luo family Cultivators on the right took the opportunity to close the distance. Their leader was a woman with a cold expression, also at the Mid-stage Golden Core.

She raised her hand and threw out several Talismans, which transformed into fireballs, ice blades, and lightning, raining down on the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family!

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family gritted his teeth. A Small Bronze Shield flew out of his sleeve, expanding in size to block his front.

The fireballs, ice blades, and lightning slammed into the shield, exploding in bursts of light.

The small shield trembled violently, fine cracks appearing on its surface, but it ultimately managed to withstand the wave of attacks.

However, his speed slowed down even further.

Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party behind him had already caught up to within a hundred feet.

“I told you, you can't escape.”

Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party raised his hand and fired another pillar of green light.

This time, the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family couldn't dodge in time, and his left leg was grazed by the light.

His left leg instantly lost all feeling. His body tilted, nearly falling from the sky.

He bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of Essence Blood beneath him. His flight speed suddenly accelerated, just barely avoiding the next few attacks from Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party.

But this was just drinking poison to quench thirst. Using Essence Blood to boost flight consumed one's Origin.

If this continued, he wouldn't last much longer.

“This guy really can run.”

Beside Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party, a Luo family Cultivator joked.

“Hmph, this place has long been sealed off by my Tianshui Luo Family. He has no path to heaven and no door into the earth. Cooperating with my Luo family is his only chance; otherwise, he'll just be another corpse in this Secret Realm!”

“Haha, Uncle is right. We've blocked both the front and the back. Where can he run?”

The Luo family Cultivators chattered among themselves, their tones relaxed as if this were just a game of cat and mouse.

They weren't in a hurry to catch him, just following unhurriedly and occasionally firing a Spell to force the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family into a frantic dodge.

They were wearing him down. Once his mana was exhausted, he would be like a turtle in a jar.

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family naturally knew this.

But he had no choice. He could only bury his head and run toward the direction indicated by the divination.

That direction was getting closer and closer.

He could already see the place shrouded in mist.

But there was nothing there, only a patch of gray mist and a few protruding rocks.

No one was there.

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family's heart sank.

Did the divination... lie to him?

“Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family, what are you still struggling for?”

Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party's voice rang out again, tinged with impatience.

“You can't escape. Accept your fate.”

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family didn't speak, only staring intently at the mist.

A little closer... just a little closer...

Maybe that person was there, and he just hadn't noticed...

“Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless.”

Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party's patience had finally run out.

He raised his hand, and a Green Longsword flew out from his sleeve, its blade vibrating with a buzzing sound.

The longsword split from one into two, two into four, and four into eight. In an instant, it transformed into dozens of sword shadows, dense and blotting out the sky.

“Go!”

Dozens of sword shadows poured down on the Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family like a torrential rain!

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family's expression changed drastically as he desperately activated the small shield, which was already covered in cracks.

But after blocking several sword shadows, the small shield finally reached its limit and shattered with a bang.

Another sword shadow passed through the fragments, heading straight for his chest!

He barely managed to twist his body. The sword shadow grazed his ribs, bringing forth a spray of blood.

Another sword shadow slashed across his back, tearing his protective spiritual light to shreds. Yet another sword shadow struck his right shoulder, blood gushing out.

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family fell from the sky, slamming heavily onto the ground and rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.

He leaned against a mountain wall, gasping for breath.

By now, his left leg, right shoulder, back, and ribs were all injured. Blood soaked his robes, staining the soil beneath him a dark red.

His mana was nearly depleted, and his consciousness was beginning to blur.

The Luo family Cultivators descended from the sky, surrounding him.

Leader of the Tianshui Luo Family hunting party walked at the front, looking down at him with a smug smile on his face.

“I told you, you can't escape.”

The Heavenly Diviner of the Zhuge Family did not speak. He stared fixedly at the mist-shrouded area, his eyes filled with despair.

That person... where on earth are they?

Was the divination... really a lie?!

He closed his eyes, screaming in his heart.

Just come out already!

Then, he heard a voice.

“Isn't it a bit much for so many people to bully one person?”
