If no one saved him, he would fall into a bottomless abyss and shatter into pieces.

"Save me!" Lin Yifan barely squeezed out two words, sending a plea for help in Li Dafeng's direction.

But it was all too late. Even if Li Dafeng had a realization now, he couldn't save him anymore.

Because there was some distance between his location and Li Dafeng, and he was flying outward at a high speed, by the time Li Dafeng could employ his qinggong to chase after him, he had already exceeded the safe flying distance for Li Dafeng.

Hearing a loud bang not far away and then Lin Yifan's tragic plea, Li Dafeng realized that his actions had made a terrible mistake, and now, it was too late to regret it.

"Brother Lin!" he shouted, then attempted to use his qinggong to save Lin Yifan.

However, when he sensed that Lin Yifan was beyond his safe flying distance, he abruptly stopped. If he flew over now, he too would surely plunge into the bottomless abyss.

"Damn it! What was I thinking?" Li Dafeng was filled with frustration and regret.

Now, without Lin Yifan and the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, he didn't even know how to report back.

Just like him, the person in black who had attempted to kill Lin Yifan also regretted his action. He originally thought he could kill Lin Yifan, of the Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm, with one strike; yet Lin Yifan had managed to display a power nearly matching his own, preventing him from killing Lin Yifan instantly.

The huge recoil only occurs when the forces are nearly equal; if there is a significant disparity, the weaker force has no power to resist and will be killed instantly, without any chance to be blown away.

This is like hitting a branch with a wooden stick. If the branch is small, the stick can easily break it; but if the branch is about as thick as the stick, striking it hard will cause a significant rebound force, causing your hand to quiver.

The only bearer of the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng had plunged into the bottomless abyss, leading the foreign black-clad organization to consider the mission a complete failure, prompting them to withdraw immediately and no longer engage with these Central Plains cultivators.

Lin Yanping, not restrained by the enemy, ran over immediately to see if there was any trace of Lin Yifan in the abyss.

But she was too late; at that moment, the abyss was shrouded in fog, empty, without any human trace.

Facing this painful scene, Lin Yanping burst into tears, loudly questioning Li Dafeng standing next to her, "Why didn't you try to save him earlier?"

"I... I... I was entangled by the enemy and couldn't free myself to act," Li Dafeng guiltily answered.

All the mistakes were on him; had he intercepted that early-stage Divinity Transformation First Realm black-clad person who was pursuing Lin Yifan, Lin Yifan wouldn't have ended up severely injured and plunging into the bottomless abyss like this; thus, he felt very guilty.

"Entangled by the enemy? A mid-stage Divinity Transformation First Realm black-clad person was able to restrain you? Aren't you ashamed?" Lin Yanping accused loudly.

She didn't know why Li Dafeng hadn't tried to save Lin Yifan; perhaps he really couldn't free himself, or perhaps he didn't react in time, didn't hear, or had some other reason not to save Lin Yifan; therefore, she also couldn't firmly decide whether it was Li Dafeng's fault.

"Big brother! Even so, Brother Lin has been our close brother, who we've fought alongside for months. If not for the Buddha's sake, at least consider our bond! How could you just stand by and watch him die? Moreover, Brother Lin was carrying the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng we need. If you won't give Brother Lin face, at least show some respect for the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng!" Li Xiaofeng couldn't stand by any longer and came over to reproach his elder brother.

"Junior sister, junior brother, I really didn't mean not to help Brother Lin; if I could have freed myself earlier, I definitely would have saved him," Li Dafeng earnestly replied.

Now that the error had been made, he could only continue this lie, hoping to get past Lin Yanping and his younger brother.

"It's too late to say anything now; Mr. Lin has been severely injured and has fallen into an abyss; along with him, the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng hanging from his body also fell; now, tell me, what do we take back to explain to the Master?" Lin Yanping asked with a breaking voice.

The death of Lin Yifan caused her great pain; she had just begun to taste a bit of love when it was abruptly snatched away, a tragedy beyond measure.

"I... I... Ah!" Li Dafeng was at a loss for words, blaming himself for letting anger cloud his judgment just moments ago.

"Now that there are no external Cultivators or thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng left, it's time to settle the score for the betrayal and killing of our fellow disciples earlier."

Having said that, the alliance formed by several groups of people came over to attack Li Dafeng, Lin Yanping, and Li Xiaofeng.

Although they regretted Lin Yifan's death a bit; however, since a dead person cannot be brought back to life and the Blood Ginseng was also gone, they were left with no choice but to seek revenge.

In their grief, the three, Li Dafeng, felt the group of Cultivators attacking them again and chose to retreat.

Facing numerous enemies, they knew resisting would only disadvantage them.

Now the alliance didn't even have one-third of its original strength, so intercepting them proved somewhat challenging.

Feeling Li Dafeng and the others escaping to the side, the enraged group of alliance Cultivators vigorously pursued, not letting Li Dafeng and his companions leave the Jiminy Primitive Forest alive.

While a brutal killing resumed on one side, the external organization in black, who escaped the Misty Forest, was punishing the member whose blunder had sent Lin Yifan flying into the Early Stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.

The man whose blunder sent Lin Yifan flying into the Early Stage of the Divine Transformation Realm was at a loss for words, helpless and silent, and ultimately extended a finger for the leader to cut off.

If you make a mistake, you make a mistake; there's nothing to argue about, so accept the punishment as it is.

The external organization in black had harsh punishments, such as cutting off fingers or committing harakiri, which were terrifying to the extreme.

It was precisely because of such severe punishments that this organization dominated a region, unchallenged by others.

"Shh!"

The next moment, as the knife fell, a living finger dropped to the ground.

The man in black, responsible for the mishap, silently endured the pain, bore no resentment, and emitted no cry of agony, showing extreme fortitude.

In their group, any Cultivator who could not endure hardship would be ruthlessly eliminated; therefore, he could not cry out.

After the punishment, the organization in black disappeared into the deep forest, as if they had never been there.

Elsewhere, Lin Yifan, severely injured and having fallen into the Endless Abyss, recalled An Qi, who was severely injured and lying unconscious in the hospital.

The next moment, a tear slid from the corner of his eye as he spoke with deep remorse, "Darling! I'm sorry! I can't bring the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng back for you to use. Please forgive my incapability."
