"These two people have such high levels of cultivation." The face of the Witch Spirit Sect's sect master was filled with shock. However, the other party didn't seem to care about them at all. Even though they were hundreds of feet away, they still walked past them without even giving them a glance.
"Whooosh."
The sandstorm was too fast, like a huge net covering the sky.
"We can't escape anymore!"
A disciple said with a trembling heart. When he turned around to look, he saw that the sandstorm had already arrived. The entire world seemed to have been turned upside down. A fierce wind covered everyone in an instant.
Some of the disciples were already screaming. They had been cultivating in the sect and had never encountered such a scene before. They were instantly caught off guard.
"All of you, run!"
The two sect master s scolded loudly, their faces were filled with panic. Once someone was caught in this, the chance of survival was close to zero.
"Seniors, save me!"
Elder Luo and Chu Chen were still madly running when they heard this. Hearing these words, they looked at each other, then stopped and looked behind them.
He saw that the edge of the sandstorm had already enveloped the group. Although they were still running for their lives, their speed was still too slow. Before long, they would be engulfed by the sandstorm.
Chu Chen's heart was not that ruthless. If it was a normal day, he would conveniently save her.
But right now, he and Elder Luo could only worry about themselves and not have the energy to help other people. Thus, they could only look as if they did not see it at all.
Moreover, after experiencing so many things, Chu Chen had gradually realized just how terrifying a person's heart was. Sometimes, saving others with good intentions might not pay off.
Therefore, when a majority of warriors saw that someone was in danger, they would basically just stand there and watch, not taking the opportunity to plunder the place. It was already very merciful.
"We can only take care of ourselves. We don't have the energy to make a move, sorry!"
Chu Chen said coldly, rejecting the other party. He did not lie at all, and with his own strength, he truly did not have any strength left to help.
It wasn't a wise decision to attack when he didn't have the strength. It was to try to be brave, and he might even lose his life.
Elder Luo did not say a word. He agreed with Chu Chen because there were too many things that needed help in this world. If Chu Chen was a good person and if he hesitated, it would mean that it was not worth it for him to follow him.
And what he had his eyes on, was precisely Chu Chen's decisiveness. He knew very well what he had to do in the face of such a situation.
A lifesaving straw was right in front of their eyes, but they could not grab hold of it. Chu Chen refused to help, causing the faces of the disciples of the two sects to immediately turn pale white.
The two sect masters seemed to have thought of this outcome. After all, they did not know each other, and just now, Elder Luo and Chu Chen had directly went past them. It was clear that the other party had already decided not to interfere! And now, how could he change his mind with just a single sentence?
Both of them knew that if they had encountered such a situation, they would never have interfered.
However, now that death was in front of them, they knew that Chu Chen and Luo Yuan would not help them, and indicated that they would not help them. However, the two of them still placed their hopes on and.
"If you two are willing to help, I am willing to tell you two where a treasure is in exchange." The sect master s of the Sky Magi Sect gritted their teeth as they spoke.
At the side, the face of the Witch Spirit Sect's sect master changed. He suddenly looked at the sect master leader and asked, "You want to exchange for that item?"
"Don't tell me that without it, we still have a chance to live? I might as well trade it for my life, if I lose it, what use is there in taking that thing? " The sect master said quickly with a determined tone.
Hearing that, the face of the Witch Spirit Sect's sect master changed, but in the end, he still submitted!
What the sect master said was true, if they lost their lives, what use would there be for it? Now, they could only use this thing to exchange for it.
Treasure? Hearing this, a glint of light flashed across Chu Chen's eyes, but now, he didn't have time to ask any further questions, as the sandstorm had already begun to roll in.
However, something that could be exchanged in a life or death situation was surely extraordinary.
"Elder Luo, can we still avoid the sandstorm after taking them with you?"
Chu Chen had already made his decision, which was why he asked the Elder Luo.
Of course, if the Elder Luo said no, Chu Chen would have to give up. Even if it was a precious treasure, he would never risk his life to make a joke.
"You can try."
Elder Luo said in a bland voice, causing Chu Chen's expression to brighten. There was hope.
"Then let's do it."
Without needing Chu Chen to say anything, after the Elder Luo finished speaking, he took a glance at the sandstorm that was rolling in, took a step forward, and immediately arrived in front of the two sects.
With a shout, an incomparable amount of Yuan Power appeared. From his hands, a resplendent glow burst forth, like a cloud, from his palm towards the nine heavens. Then, it scattered down from the nine heavens, and a defensive barrier instantly appeared around everyone.
"Those who don't want to die, channel their Origin Energy into the defensive barrier."
Elder Luo shouted. Hearing that, the dozen or so people from the two sects were startled, they immediately took action, releasing all their spirit energy, forming a pillar of light, rushing towards the defensive barrier.
Suddenly, with a "hu chi" sound, just like dye, the elemental energy entered the barrier and dispersed. Following that, the barrier started to emit a brighter light.
Elder Luo didn't bring everyone to escape, but to use a defensive barrier to fend them off? Chu Chen's eyes revealed a strange look. He did not expect the Elder Luo to do this.
However, as his body moved, he immediately entered the defensive barrier. Yuan Power surged out and erupted from his hands. Immediately, a majestic aura started to pervade the air.
When the male and female disciples of the two sects felt this aura, their expressions changed slightly as they looked at him with a surprised gaze.
At this moment, observing Chu Chen from such a close distance, he realized that he wasn't that old, but was actually a young man with such dense spirit energy.
"So he's actually so young." The two sect masters were secretly shocked when they saw Chu Chen. The distance between them was too far previously, and with the addition of the sandstorm, they did not pay much attention to Chu Chen. It was only now that they could clearly see his face, which was much younger than they had imagined.
However, at this moment, the elemental energy that Chu Chen was releasing shocked the leaders of the two sects. They were extremely powerful. They were actually not any weaker than the two of them.
Their eyes moved slightly, the two of them looked at Elder Luo again. In terms of experts, this was a true expert.
With a wave of his hand, he set up such a huge defensive barrier. The elemental energy fluctuations on it were unusually vast, and it was probably at the peak of the Divine Martial Stage.
The two of them immediately revealed a deep reverence for the Elder Luo and Chu Chen.
"An elemental energy defensive barrier can block a sandstorm?"
Although the disciples of the two sects also released their Origin Energy, they were too weak and couldn't be of much use. At this moment, there were disciples that started to make sounds of doubt.
Naturally, they could not see through the strength of the Elder Luo, and thus, they were suspicious of him.
Chu Chen, who was at the side, secretly sneered. Since Elder Luo dared to choose this method, he must be confident, so he didn't even ask, and trusted Elder Luo.
This group of disciples still looked too shallow. Chu Chen only sneered, and didn't say anything. After all, he had grown up at this stage.
"Do you think I'd take my life as a joke? If anyone cannot be trusted, they can leave and deal with the sandstorm on their own. "
The group of people's expressions changed slightly as they looked at each other, not saying a word.
He did not intend to take action, which meant that he did not want to take the risk. It was because the sect master had used the trip as a treasure in exchange, that he was willing to take action.
From these actions alone, it could be seen that the Elder Luo and Chu Chen were sufficiently cautious, so how could they possibly take his life as a joke?
As for leaving, no one was willing. Their sect master s did not say a word, because as disciples, their cultivation was not high.2
At this moment, there were some people who wanted to leave but were unable to. That monstrous sandstorm rolled over and instantly enveloped the crowd. In front of their eyes, everything became dark, as if they had fallen into a space storm.
The sandstorm finally swept over in such a short amount of time. When it collided with the defensive barrier, it clearly trembled. Everyone could feel their bodies moving as if they were about to be blown away at any time.
