Chapter 4024 Lure Away
Upon seeing this, the others joined in and helped those who were already putting out the fire. On the other side, Fire Phoenix had escaped with Feng Jiu. It had flown a very long distance with just one dive. However, as one of its wings was injured, it could only fly for a short period of time. If it were to fly for a longer period of time, its speed would naturally slow down. “Put me down.” Feng Jiu took a breath and said. The Blue Lotus was repairing her internal injuries, however, as the Blue Lotus was a little weak, the speed of repairing her internal injuries was not that fast. “Master, he is still chasing us. If we stop now, he will definitely catch up to us.” Fire Phoenix said anxiously and didn’t stop but continued flying. Feng Jiu was short of breath, she felt that she couldn’t muster up any strength at all. She was held by Fire Phoenix and swayed in midair, her arms and legs hung down weakly as the wind blew across her cheeks and hair.....
“Your wings are injured. If you continue to fly, you will be overtaken anyway. Go down to the dense forest below, we will be shielded a little with the trees covering us.” She said with some effort. She tried to see if she could go into space. However, with that thought and the sudden movement of spirit energy, her forehead broke out in cold sweat. “Can Master not enter space?” Fire Phoenix asked. “After that blow, I’m lucky to be alive.” Feng Jiu smiled bitterly and said: “Now, don’t talk about entering space, I can’t even mobilise my spirit energy.” When Fire Phoenix heard this, it asked anxiously: “Then what shall we do? If we can’t hide in space, we will be discovered by him sooner or later even if we go down there.”
“Don’t worry. I will be fine after some rest. As long as you let me rest for a while, the Blue Lotus in my body will automatically heal the injuries in my body. As long as I can rest for a while, I can take you into space to hide.” She was panting slightly, and as she spoke, the wounds on her body tugged slightly causing her face to pale. Upon hearing this, Fire Phoenix took her down to the dense forest below. Once they arrived down below, Fire Phoenix said: “Master, rest here. I will lure him away.” “Wait.”
Feng Jiu held its feet and said: “Don’t go. Let Cloud Devouring and the others go.” Its wing was injured, if it were to go alone, she was afraid that it would not be able to escape. Fire Phoenix paused for a moment and glanced at its injured wing, then said: “It’s fine Master, I can go. Let Cloud Devouring and the others come out to protect you. Only if I lure that person away alone will he chase after me. Only this way can I help Master buy more time…”
“But your injuries…”
“That person is catching up, there’s no time!”
Fire Phoenix said and pushed Feng Jiu’s hand away, then it flew through the forest for a while until it was some distance away from Feng Jiu before it flew into the sky to attract the attention of the Sect Master. “Fire Phoenix!” Feng Jiu shouted. In her anxiousness, a mouthful of blood spurted out. She panted as she leaned against the tree, and called Cloud Devouring and Old White with her mind.
“Master!”
Three contract beasts came out. In addition to Cloud Devouring, the female beast that had been cultivating and advancing also came out. Old White came closer to Feng Jiu and asked anxiously: “Master, how are you? Is it serious?”
“Master!”
The two Cloud Devouring beasts called out anxiously when they saw Feng Jiu’s pale face.
Feng Jiu took a few slow breaths, then she said in a weak voice: “The two of you, go and help Fire Phoenix. It may not be able to escape that man’s pursuit as it is injured. Go and help, quickly!”
