Chapter 1363 — Chapter 1363 Stuck In A Loop

1363 Stuck in a Loop

During their journey to the Eastern Stronghold, they encountered many magical beasts in their path. However, since many people were traveling together, it made things somewhat manageable. With that being said, there were still many casualties.

The journey from the Southern Stronghold to the Eastern Stronghold took a little over a month with barely any time to rest.

"We should be safe for a while now." Tian Yang sighed after setting up their tent again.

Hearing no response, he looked at Huang Xiao Li, who was silently gazing at the barrier in the sky.

"How much longer do we have to keep running? This isn't that much different from our encounter with the Flying Leviathan" she mumbled in a dazed voice.

"Are we caught in some kind of loop where we are constantly running away from entities that we cannot even imagine fighting?"

"Unfortunately, this is simply how life for weaklings like us works."

"Is there truly nothing we can do?" she sighed.

"We can only continue to improve ourselves until the day that we no longer have to run arrives."

"We will probably be long dead before that happens."

"While that is very likely, we won't know until we reach that point."

Huang Xiao Li asked with a slight smile on her face, "How are you able to remain calm and positive all the time? What is your secret?"

He shook his head, "There is no secret. I just find it pointless trying to worry about such things."

"The fact you can do that is impressive enough, but that's also what I love about you."

Time continued to pass.

One week Two weeks One month Two months Three months

It has been five months since the Desolate Continent became isolated from the rest of the world, and news of its situation had already spread throughout the Divine Heavens.

"Damn it! That reckless idiot hasn't returned to the sect for half a year, but his life jade slip is still working, so he's obviously not dead! That idiot must have gone to the Desolate Continent!" Elder Sun kicked her table in frustration.

"If you are that worried about him, why don't you go there and save him?" Someone suggested.

"That isn't possible as long as that barrier is around the Desolated Continent. In the first place, this isn't a situation that can be handled by a single individual!"

"If you complain to your family"

"Don't bring them up! I left them for a reason, and I won't go back no matter what!"bender

"Whatever you say."

Despite her words, Elder Sun was already contemplating asking her family for help.

Meanwhile, Tian Yang and Huang Xiao Li traversed nearly the entire Desolate Continent during the past five months, moving from city to city whenever the Colossal got close.

Tian Yang's cultivation continued to progress and eventually reached fifth-level Spirit Lord while Huang Xiao Li surpassed Spirit Grandmaster and entered the realm of Spirit Lord, quickly catching up to Tian Yang.

After spending so much time sealed within the Desolate Continent, they have long stopped wondering when the barrier will be removed and focused on improving their new lifestyle and increasing their chances of survival.

"Our supply of Appearance Reforming Pills will be running out very soon" Huang Xiao Li warned Tian Yang.

Not only did they have to run from the Colossal, they also had to avoid the Gold and Money Bandits. Even with their current situation, the lawless nature refused to stop. In fact, it even got worse.

They tried to travel without their disguises a month into their confinement, but they were immediately recognized by the bandits, forcing them to continue relying on disguises.

They started using the Appearance Reforming Pills sparingly and purchased any they could find, but that wasn't enough to keep them from running out of supply.

"Even my makeup has run out" she sighed.

lightsvl m "We are already traveling separately from the group, so there's really nothing else we can do." Tian Yang shook his head.

"Why are these damn bandits so persistent anyway?!" Huang Xiao Li stomped the ground in anger.

"Considering how nobody can enter the land and people are lying left and right, they are probably running out of people to bully." Tian Yang said.

"Also, the fact that we've killed several of their members most likely has something to do with it."

"That's called self-defense!"

"Murder is still murder."

"I swear that if we get out of here alive, I will come back in the future to eradicate every last one of them!" Huang Xiao Li bellowed.

"Oh? I'd love to see how you plan on doing that."

A foreign voice suddenly responded to her threat.

"Who's there?!" Tian Yang and Huang Xiao Li immediately went into a combative stance.

In response, over twenty people emerged from the shadow, surrounding them.

'How did I not notice this many people around us?! That's impossible!' Tian Yang was shocked.

"Are you bastards from Gold and Money Bandits?!" Huang Xiao Li glared at them with killing intent.

"We're not just from the Gold and Money Banditswe are the gang." The voice resounded, and it came from a middle-aged man, who was emitting the prowess of a Spirit King.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"I am the leader is what it means." The man laughed.

Tian Yang gritted his teeth as he tried to find a way out of their predicament. However, their opponents had a Spirit King on their side, who could easily kill both of them by himself.

There was simply no way to escape.

"How did you find us?" Tian Yang asked.

"It wasn't difficult. In fact, we could've located you whenever we wanted during these last few months. The only reason we didn't was simply because there were bigger fishes out there to hunt."

"..."

"What do you want from us?" Tian Yang asked.

A cold grin appeared on the leader's face as he spoke, "Just one thingyour life."

After a pause, he corrected himself, "Actually, that would be two things since there are two of you."
