Qiu Changtian, along with Junior Sister Xu Yinglian and the unconscious burden Jian Qingnan, fought and retreated, withdrawing all the way from White Bone Divine Palace to return to the passage above.
Jiang Liyan and Wen Yang pursued them, closing in rapidly from behind, only to be repelled time and again by Qiu Changtian's Divine Thunder or Xu Yinglian's Bright Flame.
Wei Dongliu followed silently behind, using the Hiltless Locust Wood Sword to control the Flying Asura, who reluctantly dragged its feet.
Sometimes, when Xu Yinglian's Great Bright Fire went overboard and drove the two pursuers back, Wei Dongliu would send out the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu to force Xu Yinglian to stop her spells.
Then Qiu Changtian would take action to rescue her, driving the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu back.
After repeating this cycle three or four times, Qiu Changtian and his companions finally left the surface of Long Mountain and arrived back on the ground.
