Chapter 4002
"Will do!"
The thousand of Five Poison Sect disciples called out in acknowledgement, taking off in Veron's direction.
In any other situation, Veron would have long left the Five Poison Sect disciples in the dust. Yet the spell she had
just cast, 'Ivory phoenix piercing the sun' had taken up a huge portion of her internal energy. Thus, her flying
speed had been affected as well.
Just then, in mid-air.
Veron bit her lip, flying ahead with all her might. The Carters and the Hidden Hero Sect must be desperate for
news by now, she had to get there to meet them.
She had thought it all through, she would meet up with Chester and his men, then return to the Five Poison Sect.
Yet Veron could feel the waves of energy radiating from behind her. From how it sounded, it was clear that there
were a good number of people going after her.
Veron turned her head slightly to look backwards, what she saw flooded her senses with panic.
Mid-air behind her were a few thousand Five Poison Sect disciples, hot on her heels.
At the sight, Veron tried to double her speed. Yet she had used up too much internal energy, and there was
nothing she could do.
Just then, the few thousand Five Poison Sect disciples spotted Veron as well. They whooped with glee.

"You thought you could get away with a sneak attack on our Sect Master?" 2
"Stop running, come on, you're not getting away this time..."
The roars and cries were endless. All these Five Poison Sect disciples were nothing but
smug. Capturing Veron was an act that would bring great glory to them. They could hardly
wait to get to her.
None of these disciples would have dared to behave with such insolence in the past. But
now Veron's internal energy had taken a huge blow, and they had nothing to fear.
Veron pretended to not hear them at all, soaring forward with all her might, she kept her
expression neutral despite the climbing panic in her heart.
She'd finally escaped, through trouble and turmoil. There was no way she was going to be
captured and sent back, or the rest of her life would be spent in agony.
It seemed that fortune was not favoring Veron, and neither was the weather. The skies had
still been considerably clear before, and now it was abruptly covered in thick fog.
Veron had never been too familiar with the layout of the Five Poison Sect. In the thick,
opaque fog, she had pretty much lost her way.
Veron could hardly bear to care anymore. She charged forward with all her might.
After flying for another few minutes, Veron was close to being drained of strength.
Drenched in sweat, she landed on a mountaintop she came upon to take a break, as well
as to better see her surroundings.
Gasp!
As her vision sharpened, Veron could not help her sharp intake of air. Her heart fell to her
stomach.
Oh boy, she was well and properly lost this time.
All she could see was endless mountains. Every single one of them pierced through the
heavens, looming big and tall. With the overwhelmingly thick fog, it was near impossible
to see her way.
Veron could do nothing but stare, her mind drawing a blank.
Just then, the shuffling of footsteps rang behind her once again. She saw that the Five
Poison Sect disciples had caught up once again.
God, were these people hard to shake.
At the sound of the footsteps, Veron did not hesitate. Instead she spotted the closest
mountain trail to her, and took off in its direction.
"She's still trying to escape?"

"Hurry up, she can't get very far anyways."
The Five Poison Sect disciples were absolutely furious. They roared as they picked their steps up, charging in
Veron's direction.
Veron had already been worn out from the journey before. The fog around her made it impossible to tell north
from south, and the few thousand Five Poison Sect members following close behind made it worse.
Under these circumstances, Veron had no choice but to run blindly. Eventually, she had been chased to the side
of a cliff.
This was bad!
Upon reaching the cliff's edge, Veron realized how high up she was. She trembled, halting her steps. Her face
shuttered with hopelessness. 1
There was nowhere to go now/
How could this happen? Was this... was this fate? Was she going to die here today?
As her heart ruminated with thoughts, Veron's eyes darkened.
Ha ha...
Just then, the few thousand Five Poison Sect disciples from behind had caught up. They took one look at the
scene before them and laughed victoriously.
