Daoist Ying was not rescued; she fell from the heavens. The Python Demon's poison was more potent than she had imagined.
Initially, she intended to fly to the Yan Sect's mountain gate for help, but hadn't even covered a tenth of the journey before the poison attacked and she plummeted down. If not for her fortune of encountering a group of Yan Sect cultivators passing by, she would have become food for monsters.
This group of Yan Sect cultivators was somewhat unclear about the situation; they hadn't seen the white-headed vulture. In the group, there was only one Golden Core Cultivator, who was still at the early stage, and the others were Foundation Establishment disciples. If not for the vulture witnessing Daoist Ying's fall, even rushing to a strong killing wouldn't be difficult.
Ultimately, they were afraid of trouble and departed, leaving this group to take a trip to Ghost Gate, yet unaware of it.
