Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

"If you can’t win, just run for your life!"

Li An suddenly spoke.

The group dispersed and fled, so that he would have the opportunity to kill this person alone.

What he was worried about was revealing his true cultivation level in front of others.

"His target is you, you go--"

At the same time, Li An secretly communicated with Li Nianxue. As long as she left, the gray-clad man would definitely chase after her.

Li Nianxue nodded. Although she didn’t know Li An’s intentions, she trusted him completely and flew straight into the void.

The turbulence in the void fluctuated, but at this moment she couldn’t care about that.

"You can’t escape!"

Sure enough, the gray-clad man chased after Li Nianxue to kill her.

"Senior Sister!"

An Li anxiously shouted and threw the fairy carpet to the others, saying, "You go first--"

He turned around to rescue Li Nianxue.

"..." Li An saw him follow as well, feeling somewhat helpless, but couldn’t care much and told the others, "We will escape separately."

After saying that, he proactively stepped into the void, turning towards the direction of Li Nianxue.

The turbulence in the void fluctuated continuously, but those fluctuations were all related to the power of time, so the higher one’s cultivation in the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, the longer they could endure the turbulence. Li An, being a Forbidden Profound Immortal, could naturally hold on for a while.

The gray-clad man was closing in on Li Nianxue, but An Li behind him couldn’t quite keep up with his speed.

Li An’s speed burst forth, using the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill to conceal himself. Like a ghost, he silently approached, ready to strike.

He only needed one blow--

But at that moment, Li An suddenly glanced in a certain direction, frowned, and then retreated decisively.

--Someone had arrived.

Li Nianxue was already cornered, facing life and death, when a blue Immortal Light suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the five-colored Celestial Saber.

"Who?!"

The gray-clad man shouted coldly, and from the void, a graceful young man appeared, speaking with cold arrogance, "You dare draw a blade against my fiancée?"

This person was none other than the Saint Child of the Celestial Pearl Sacred Land, Dao Qian.

The gray-clad man was shocked, not expecting the other to actually have arrived.

...

Li An escaped the void at great speed.

He had sensed Dao Qian’s arrival, so Li Nianxue was unlikely to be in any more danger, but if he stayed to kill, he would be potentially exposed in front of the Celestial Pearl Sacred Land, which was very inappropriate.

He turned back and found Li Qingran and the others, who were stumbling through the void with a flying carpet. Li An appeared, calling out, and pretending to struggle clumsily in the void, Li Qingran and the others guided the flying carpet to pick him up.

"Let’s go, we need to catch up quickly!"

Li Qingran spoke, their target also being towards Li Nianxue.

Despite being in danger, not one of the young members of the Dao Sect retreated.

Li An rushed along with them and soon saw a treasure ship sailing towards them. Li Nianxue and An Li stood at the bow, waving urgently upon seeing them.

Before long, they boarded the treasure ship of the Celestial Pearl Sacred Land.

The treasure ship sailed smoothly, without the swaying and turbulence of the flying carpet. Seeing that Li Nianxue and An Li were safe, Li Qingran and the others couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Unfortunately, that person had some skill and managed to escape."

Dao Qian stood beside Li Nianxue, smiling slightly, "I apologize for frightening you fellow Daoists. But now that you travel with me, no one in this secret realm will dare touch you."

Li Qingran and the others all expressed their gratitude.

Li An glanced around, noting that not all the people from the Celestial Pearl Sacred Land were on this treasure ship, only about twenty were beside Dao Qian, including Tan Qingxue, who sat inside the cabin, speaking with an elderly man who was likely the guardian sent by the Celestial Pearl Sacred Land.

"Young Master Dao Qian, where are you heading next?" Li Nianxue asked. "You’ve already saved us, and we wouldn’t want to impose on you further."

Dao Qian smiled, "Nianxue, you’re too polite."

"I am acquainted with Ye Cauldron of the Treasure Cauldron Palace. I obtained a piece of information from him. Near White Rock Star, there seems to be an unexploited essence of time, and I’m preparing to go there."

"Shall we go together? That gray-clad man might still be lurking in the dark. Leaving now would be dangerous. Besides, is there really any distinction between us?"

Li Nianxue did not immediately respond. After pondering for a moment, she casually strolled around the treasure ship, seemingly gazing at the star realm, but as she passed by Li An, she secretly communicated what Dao Qian had said and asked Li An what to do.

Faced with danger, Li An had instructed her to run, and she did so, narrowly escaping death by Dao Qian’s rescue. Yet, she still trusted Li An the most, with no doubt or rift in her heart.

"Let’s first go and see," Li An, unfamiliar with this secret realm, agreed it was good to explore since Dao Qian had a lead.

Li Nianxue didn’t stay by his side long, evidently afraid of causing him trouble.

"Nianxue, come over and talk to me."

At this time, Tan Qingxue emerged from the cabin and called out to Li Nianxue.

Li Nianxue maintained a calm expression and walked over.

...

The treasure ship continued its journey.

They drew closer to a star emitting radiant light, its surfaces seemingly constructed entirely of gray-white rocks. It should indeed be the White Rock Star mentioned by Dao Qian.

Upon arrival, the power in the void swayed the treasure ship, rendering it unstable, clearly indicating the foreboding nature of the place ahead.
