Blackfire, Sir Wolf, Rufus Gale, and Colossal Elephant finally landed on the ground.
The four of them looked at each other, their faces filled with strong unwillingness and frustration.
“Don’t chase anymore, we can’t catch up.”
Rufus Gale shook his head and said with a grim expression.
“Who was that person just now?”
Blackfire’s voice was cold.
“I don’t know him! I’ve never seen him before!”
Sir Wolf replied.
“I’ve never seen him either!”
Colossal Elephant frowned.
“The opponent had the strength of a Great Vehicle expert, and his headless divine bird mount is no weakling either! But we don’t know him?”
Rufus Gale’s face showed a hint of confusion.
“Could he be some hidden expert?”
Blackfire’s eyes flickered.
The Hidden Cultivation Realm was vast!
It was a world created by a once-powerful being from outside the domain, far larger than the Mirror of Trials’ small worlds.
In this world, there could very well be a powerful hidden expert.
The seven visible strongest experts might not represent the full picture.
This world had existed for over ten thousand years, and no one could be sure what kind of powerful beings had been born in it.
And whether such beings were still alive.
“What do we do now? The four of us have been exposed, yet we didn’t capture Lady Scarlett!”
Sir Wolf growled, frustrated and unwilling to accept defeat.
The next moment, Rufus Gale narrowed his eyes and coldly snorted, “Right now, Lady Scarlett is severely injured, and that mysterious expert is with her. It seems like he cares a lot about her.
They’ll likely try to find a place to heal up.
That’s our opportunity!”
Upon hearing this, Blackfire’s eyes sharpened. “You mean…”
“Exactly! Right now, in the royal capital, the only ones left are the Guardian Fern Starfield and the current ruler of the Realm of Hidden Cultivation, Purple Sovereign.
Purple Sovereign is incredibly talented and has become the seventh strongest expert, but he’s still under a hundred years old and has just broken through to the Great Vehicle realm. His strength is still unstable.
His combat power isn’t stronger than any one of us four.
If the four of us work together, we have at least a 60% chance against Fern Starfield and Purple Sovereign.
So our top priority now is to head straight to the royal capital.
Before Scarlett and the mysterious expert get there, we’ll take out the Guardian and the ruler.
That’s the best course of action!”
Rufus Gale spoke coldly.
After he finished speaking, the others’ expressions changed several times, and then they all nodded slowly.
“That’s right! This is the best choice now!
We’ve already been exposed, and we’ve injured Lady Scarlett. There’s no turning back!”
“We must take advantage of the fact that there are only the Guardian and the ruler left in the royal capital, and deal with them!”
“Alright! Since we can’t use Lady Scarlett to threaten the Guardian, let’s just go directly for him!”
“Kill the Guardian, take the Stellar Path Mark! Then we’ll leave this Hidden Cultivation Realm and fly as high as we want!”
“I’ve been stuck in this world for centuries, I’m losing my mind!”
After some quick deliberation, the four of them made a decision.
Taking advantage of Scarlett’s severe injuries, with only two strongest experts in the royal capital, they hurriedly made their way there.
Four against two-the odds were in their favor!
Meanwhile, on the other side…
In the northwest of the Hidden Cultivation Realm, in an endless mountain range.
After completely shaking off the four great experts, Lachlan and Scarlett concealed their presence and dove deep into the mountains to hide.
The headless Phoenix, whose body had already surpassed its time of life, was once again returned to Lachlan’s wrist space.
At this moment, Scarlett sat weakly and painfully, looking utterly exhausted.
The mighty Lady Scarlett now appeared just as fragile as any other woman.
And Lachlan sat beside her, gazing at her severed left arm, his face filled with deep sympathy.
His starry eyes were tinged with red.
“Wifey, it’s alright! It’s alright…”
“I’ll definitely heal you!”
Lachlan comforted her.
“Wifey?”
Scarlett murmured to herself.
Was this how he called that “Miranda” woman?
From the two words that Lachlan had unconsciously spoken, Scarlett felt an overwhelming sense of love and tenderness.
“I’ve lost an arm, turned into a cripple, and you still want to chase after me?”
For some reason, Scarlett’s beautiful eyes fixed on Lachlan as she asked.
“Wifey, no matter what happens to you, I’ll do everything I can to restore you!
And losing an arm? I’ll make sure it grows back.
As long as I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Lachlan said in a low voice.
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Scarlett’s hand.
She instinctively pulled away, casting a look of resistance and embarrassment at him.
Lachlan gave a wry smile, realizing that “Miranda” hadn’t yet remembered him, and his sudden move to grab her hand was indeed a bit too forward.
Thinking this, he carefully placed his hands on Scarlett’s back and said, “Wifey, I’ll heal you now. Even if you don’t like me touching you, can you bear with it for a bit?”
Scarlett felt the warmth on her back and heard Lachlan’s sincere and humble request. For a moment, her heartstrings were touched.
“Mm…”
She softly responded, gradually lowering her defenses and resistance.
This man had come to her aid at her most desperate moment, saving her from Blackfire and the others.
If he truly meant no harm, what could she do to resist in her current state?
Perhaps it was she who had misjudged him.
But in Scarlett’s mind, she still didn’t believe that he could truly restore her severed arm.
