Chapter 134: Hiding on the island, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge

A biting chill rose from the soles of his feet, quickly spreading throughout his body. Lei Yi's heart suddenly tightened. This restraining force, with undisguised malice, locked him firmly, clearly coming with preparation.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Young Master Murong sneered and waved the folding fan in his hand. The monks behind him immediately took out their magic weapons. The colorful lights intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable net, covering Lei Yi and others.

"Protect the young master!" Guard Luo roared, and his burly body blocked Lei Yi. He swung the long sword in his hand into an impenetrable barrier, blocking all incoming attacks.

"Let's go!" Lei Yi grabbed Dongfang Liuli's hand and ran away without hesitation. He knew that with their current strength, a head-on fight would only lead to death. Only by finding a breakthrough would they have a chance to escape.

The three fought and retreated, Dongfang Liuli's whip technique light and agile, each move fierce, clearing many obstacles for Lei Yi. However, the enemy was outnumbered and they gradually fell behind.

"Lei Yi, look!" Dongfang Liuli suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.

Lei Yi looked in the direction Dongfang Liuli pointed, and saw a blue sea appear before his eyes. Where the sea and the sky met, a lush island was looming.

"That's... our chance!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Lei Yi's eyes. As long as they could reach the island and take advantage of the terrain, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

However, just as they were about to break out of the encirclement, a sharp sword energy descended from the sky and struck Lei Yi in the back.

"Young master, be careful!" Guard Luo was horrified and turned around without thinking, blocking the fatal blow with his body.

"Puchi!" The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was heard. Guard Luo groaned, blood spurted out of his mouth, and his strong body fell to the ground weakly like a kite with a broken string.

"Uncle Luo!" Lei Yi's eyes were bloodshot and he was heartbroken. However, he had no time to care about anything else. He could only suppress the grief in his heart and continue to run forward while pulling Dongfang Liuli.

"Don't worry about me! Go away!" Guard Luo roared with his last bit of strength. He knew that he could not survive. If he could exchange his life for the safety of Master Lei, he would die without regrets.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli gradually disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, leaving Guard Luo lying alone in a pool of blood. His eyes gradually dimmed, but a smile of relief lingered on his lips. He knew that he had finally completed his mission and protected Master Lei's safety.

"Chase! Don't let them run away!" Young Master Murong's voice came from a distance, with undisguised murderous intent.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli tried their best and finally reached the beach.

"Hurry, get on the boat!" A small boat appeared on the shore at some point. Lei Yi didn't have time to think about it. He pulled Dongfang Liuli onto the boat, untied the rope, and rowed desperately.

The boat slowly sailed away from the coast, heading towards the unknown island. Lei Yi looked back and saw the figures of the righteous people on the coast getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.

"We are safe..." Dongfang Liuli breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she could finish her words, Lei Yi's expression suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice:

"It's not over yet..." The boat cut through the blue waves, leaving a white trail on the sea surface, heading towards the lush island. Lei Yi put away the oars, wiped the sweat from his face, and looked at the island getting closer and closer, but his heart did not relax at all.

This is only a temporary respite, the pursuers will soon catch up, he must seize the time and make full preparations.

The island is not big, but it has rich vegetation and strangely shaped reefs. For Lei Yi, it is a natural barrier and an excellent place to set traps.

"Liuli, help me cut these vines. Use sharp tools." Lei Yi took the tools from the boat and began to arrange them in an orderly manner.

Dongfang Liuli looked at his busy figure with concern and asked softly, "You haven't slept for a whole day and night. Take a rest before doing this."

"It's too late," Lei Yi shook his head, his tone firm, "They will catch up soon, we must race against time."

Dongfang Liuli knew his character and stopped trying to dissuade him. She silently picked up the tools and helped him set the trap.

They cut down trees, sharpened wooden stakes, wove vines into nets, and used the terrain to set up boulders, traps and other mechanisms, turning the entire island into a maze full of dangers.

The setting sun dyed the sky blood red, and also reflected the busy figures of the two people.

"Here it comes!" Lei Yi's eyes flashed, and he keenly noticed the movement on the sea in the distance.

The boat carrying the righteous people appeared in sight, heading towards the island, led by the aggressive leader of the righteous alliance.

"Search! Dig three feet into the ground to find them!" the leader of the righteous alliance roared, his voice echoing on the sea.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli hid in a secluded cave, the entrance obscured by dense vines, making it difficult to be discovered. They held their breath, listening to the footsteps and shouts coming from outside, their hearts beating violently.

"Will they find us?" Dongfang Liuli asked in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

"No," Lei Yi held her hand and gave her strength, "Believe me, I won't let them hurt you."

The righteous people launched a carpet search on the island, however, they fell into traps again and again and were injured by the mechanisms, but they still could not find any trace of Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli.

"Alliance leader, we've searched the entire island and found no trace," a disciple reported, a hint of doubt in his tone. "Could it be... we've made a mistake?"

"Impossible!" the Righteous Alliance leader shouted angrily, "Lei Yi is very cunning, he must be hiding, keep searching!"

At this moment, the Wind Sword Hero, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Alliance Leader, I found some strange traces..."

The Wind Sword Warrior pushed aside the dense undergrowth, revealing a row of sharp wooden stakes stained with fresh blood. He squatted down, carefully observing his surroundings, his brow furrowed.

"These traps are very cleverly designed, not the work of evildoers," said the Wind Sword Hero, standing up. "Also, I found some residual medicinal powder near the traps. They are precious herbs used to treat internal injuries, and definitely not something evil people would use."

Upon hearing this, the Righteous Alliance Leader's face darkened and he said impatiently, "Master Feng Jian, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting my judgment?"

"Master, please understand. I dare not," said the Wind Sword Hero, bowing. "I just think this matter is suspicious. Perhaps there is something else hidden. We should find out the truth instead of just chasing after them."

"The truth? The evidence is irrefutable. What truth do we need to find out?" The Righteous Alliance leader snorted coldly. "Lei Yi colluded with the Demon Cult and murdered his fellow disciples. His crimes are unforgivable! Today, I will bring him to justice!"

As the Righteous Path leader finished speaking, a sudden scream was heard from not far away. It turned out that several Righteous Path disciples had accidentally triggered a trap set by Lei Yi and were bound by vines that suddenly appeared and hung from a tree.

"Waste!" The leader of the righteous alliance was furious. He was about to order the search to continue when he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from deep within the island.

The voice was low and suppressed, as if it came from an ancient giant beast, with a heart-pounding sense of oppression that made everyone shudder.

"What's that sound?" a disciple asked in horror.

"I don't know..." Another disciple said palely, his voice trembling, "It seems... it came from that direction..."

Everyone's eyes turned to the direction where the sound came from. There was a dense forest shrouded in thick fog. It was eerie and terrifying, as if some unknown danger was lurking.

The Righteous Alliance leader hesitated. Although he was arrogant, he was not a reckless person. The sudden noise made him realize that this island was not as simple as it seemed.

"Alliance leader, do we still need to move forward?" asked a disciple.

The leader of the righteous alliance did not answer. He stared at the dense forest shrouded in mist, his heart filled with uneasiness.

At this moment, Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli were hiding behind a huge rock, closely watching the movements outside.

"It seems we are safe for now," Dongfang Liuli breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she was about to stand up, her face suddenly changed, she groaned, and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Lei Yi hurriedly supported her and asked anxiously.

Dongfang Liuli's face was pale, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She bit her lip, pointed at her ankle, and said in a trembling voice: "I...I think I twisted my ankle..."

Lei Yi's heart sank. He knew that in this situation, every minute and every second was extremely precious. They had to leave here as soon as possible. However, Dongfang Liuli was injured, and he couldn't abandon her...

"Don't worry, I will take you away from here." Lei Yi took a deep breath, carried Dongfang Liuli on his back, and said firmly, "Hold on to me!"

After saying this, he carried Dongfang Liuli on his back and walked towards the deeper and more secluded part of the island. There was a hidden cave there, which was their last hope...
