Chapter 357 The Demonic Cultivators Escape
The original intention of picking flowers was to sincerely present "Family Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily", exclusively published by Cola Novels!
While the three Nascent Soul cultivators were locked in a fierce battle, Zhang Lingyu was not idle either.
In addition to all the Zhao Kingdom cultivators stationed in Thousand-Ren Valley, two of the four Golden Core cultivators remaining in Tianliu City also led their subordinates to flank from the left.
The purpose is to eliminate as many demonic cultivators as possible, so as to reduce the pressure in the future.
"Despite being outnumbered, these Zhao cultivators suddenly mobilized all of them. Have they gone mad?"
Seeing the various spirit boats and treasure ships rapidly approaching from the horizon, the demonic cultivators and many demon kings of Chu were incredulous. In the past few months, Zhao had been almost entirely on the defensive, and it was rare for them to take the initiative to attack.
"Could it be that half of Wu Kingdom has fallen, and the north is eager to send them to provide support?" a Golden Core cultivator from the Demon Moon Palace said in a deep voice.
"Unlikely... Even if they were in a hurry, they wouldn't attack so recklessly."
A Golden Core cultivator from the Bloodflame Sect shook his head and said, "They dare to act so recklessly; someone must be coming to their aid..."
As soon as they finished speaking, the demonic cultivators used their divine senses to powerfully sweep over the Zhao Kingdom's Golden Core cultivators outside the great formation, and found that there were no unfamiliar faces among them.
'Perhaps it's hiding nearby and hasn't come out yet...'
Just as everyone took to the air in turn, preparing to advance and meet the enemy, a serpentine head as large as a mountain suddenly approached and asked, "These Zhao brats are unusual. They seem quite calm, so they must have some kind of backing. Could those two Nascent Soul cultivators be following behind them?"
The owner of this head was none other than the White Refining Demon King, who became the temporary leader of the demon kings after the Blood Fiend Demon Emperor left.
Seeing the Zhao Kingdom cultivators approaching with overwhelming force, it sensed something was wrong and immediately revealed its true form to prepare for battle. However, it still needed to ask a few questions first.
"How could that be? Senior Xuanyou is incredibly powerful. Before he went into seclusion to heal his injuries, he said that Bai Yan and Kui Lin were seriously injured and would not be able to participate in the battle for a short time!" one of the Golden Core cultivators affirmed.
"Are you that sure?"
The White Refining Demon King persisted, saying, "Those two Nascent Soul cultivators are only seriously injured, far from being on their last legs. Even if they are seriously injured, they are still beyond our ability to contend with. I think you should bring out your own Nascent Soul cultivators first."
"Your Majesty, my True Lord instructed us before he left that we should not send messages to him unless those two personally appear. Those two have not yet shown themselves. If we call out now and disturb my True Lord's healing, can you bear the blame?"
"Furthermore, we just used the magic weapon that the True Lord gave us to investigate, and there are no Nascent Soul cultivators following behind this group of Zhao Kingdom cultivators."
"If Your Majesty is still worried, why not summon the Blood Fiend Demon Emperor to oversee the situation? He's been holed up in the Myriad Spirits Mountains for quite some time; it's time he came out and stretched his legs, wasn't it?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a Golden Core cultivator from the Youquan Sect mocked him.
Their own ancestor risked his life and was seriously injured here for the sake of the overall situation. Now they have to be called out to uphold justice for such a small matter. Doesn't that make them seem completely useless?
The Chu Kingdom was seething with anger at the Blood Fiend Emperor's indifference... Now that they had the chance, they decided to give him a good thrashing.
Furthermore, what if Bai Yan and Kui Lin come in person?
By pooling everyone's strength to activate the grand formation, it should be enough to hold out for a while, and there shouldn't be any problem holding out until Elder Xuanyou arrives...
"snort!"
"I have said everything I needed to say. If those two Nascent Soul cultivators show themselves, our demon race will immediately retreat to the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range. You'd better watch yourselves!"
Seeing that his words were ignored, the White Refining Demon King was furious. If it weren't for the great demon emperors above him, he would have dug out the golden cores of these demon cultivators and eaten them as snacks.
Having said that, the enormous body soared into the sky, leading several demon kings to lead the charge and meet the enemy.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, what Bai Lian said makes sense. The Zhao Kingdom's aggressive approach is highly unusual. It would be safest to ask Senior Xuan You to come out of seclusion and take charge. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility," the Blood Flame Sect Golden Core cultivator advised.
"Well... since you've said so, I, Wang, will naturally comply." Seeing that this Blood Flame Sect demonic cultivator in the late Golden Core stage had spoken, the demonic cultivator surnamed Wang had no choice but to take out the jade talisman.
He intended to crush it in one swift motion, but unexpectedly, a jade talisman in his sleeve shattered into powder first.
Not only him, but all the Golden Core demon cultivators present were the same.
"This...this is..."
The cultivators were stunned by this sudden turn of events. They knew that once the jade talisman responded, all the demonic cultivators would have to immediately drop everything and withdraw from the Zhao Kingdom, returning to the Chu Kingdom via the Wanling Mountains.
This condition depends on two things: first, the situation in the south must be completely beyond saving; second, the nascent soul must crush itself when it senses its impending demise.
The jade talisman is in the hands of the Mysterious Old Man, and only he can use it.
"Ancestor...something has happened."
Just moments ago, the confident Golden Core cultivator from Youquan Sect suddenly lost all his vitality, feeling dizzy and lightheaded. If it weren't for the person beside him supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago.
"Our ancestor was clearly in seclusion healing his injuries, how could something have suddenly happened to him? Even we don't know where he was in seclusion."
The Golden Elixir was also a source of doubt for everyone. The Elder Xuanyou had not told anyone about his secluded cultivation location, so there was no possibility of a leak. Who could possibly have found that place?
"No need to think about it anymore. Right now, there are only two people who can threaten your life, besides Bai Yan and Kui Lin, who else could it be!"
The Golden Core cultivator from the Blood Flame Sect said in a deep voice, "They must have found the senior's secluded cultivation location through some means, and they must be fighting the Ancestor right now. The Ancestor knows he can't defeat him, which is why he ordered us to retreat!"
"As for how it was found, since the incident in Xuanwu County could happen, what's so strange about this?"
With just these one sentence, everyone suddenly realized the truth.
If they could even figure out that thirteen Golden Core cultivators were colluding with them, what difficulty would it be for them to figure out where a Nascent Soul cultivator was in seclusion to heal?
How could it collapse so quickly... there was still room for improvement.
The Golden Core cultivators of the Bloodflame Sect felt a bitter taste in their mouths. According to their original plan, even if they suffered a defeat, they could retreat to Qinglin Mountain to continue dealing with the Zhao Kingdom. But now, there was no room for maneuver at all.
Both the previous and this defeat were due to that cultivator who was secretly skilled in divination.
The demonic cultivators hated this person intensely!
His mind worked quickly, and he immediately sent a message: "True Lord Xuanyou has ordered that all Golden Core cultivators of the Chu Kingdom immediately abandon the great formation, withdraw from Yanxing County, and return to the Chu Kingdom via the Wanling Mountains!"
"As for the remaining Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, those of you who can escape should flee to the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain Range. If you can't escape, scatter to various corners of Yanxing County and save yourselves!"
This last sentence, though seemingly cold and indifferent, was in fact a helpless act.
With the Zhao Kingdom's imposing presence, even those at the Golden Core stage might not be able to escape, let alone the lower-level cultivators below.
With the Demon King and the beast tide still blocking their way, there's still a chance. But once the two Nascent Soul cultivators return from besieging Elder Xuanyou, there will be no chance at all.
"As long as we Golden Core cultivators don't perish, there's always room for the situation to turn around..."
As for whether the remaining low-level demonic cultivators will live or die, and whether they can save their lives on their own, only heaven knows.
Having said that, he leaped into the air, recklessly activating his magical artifact, and headed towards Qinglin Mountain...
As soon as one person takes the lead, the other Golden Core demon cultivators will immediately follow. If they don't leave now, it will really be too late.
A little slower were several Golden Core cultivators from the Youquan Sect. Their ancestor was engaged in a bloody battle and was in mortal danger. Shouldn't the disciples go and save him?
The thought had barely formed when I immediately put it out.
His ancestor was someone who had one foot in the late Nascent Soul stage, and even he was in danger of dying, so what use was the Golden Core?
"Let's go, let's go! We can't let our ancestor's good intentions go to waste. He risked his life to ensure our safety!"
"Yeah, yeah, let's go!"
"Ancestor, rest assured, we will surely restore the glory of the Youquan Sect upon our return!"
After a series of mental suggestions, the group took off without hesitation, following behind their fellow practitioners.
This series of changes happened too quickly. From the time the cultivators were instructed to retreat to the time their own Golden Core cultivators disappeared without a trace, only a few dozen breaths passed. The Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators of the Chu Kingdom had no time to react.
By the time they realized what was happening, everyone had already left.
The cultivators turned pale. Those who reacted quickly followed without hesitation, while some ruthless individuals charged towards the Zhao Kingdom cultivators with a death wish, thinking that since they were going to die, they should at least take a few with them.
Some of them sat slumped on the ground, waiting to be killed.
As the magical artifacts and spells of the Zhao Kingdom cultivators arrived, they roared hysterically, venting their inner resentment.
"Shinmen, you can't just abandon us like this!"
"Damn old bastards, since we can't leave, we curse you to leave too. Just wait to be killed by the Golden Core cultivators of Zhao."
After venting their resentment, they were attacked by countless magical artifacts and spells, their flesh and blood blasted into pieces and scattered all over the field.
"These demon bastards are quite fast. Everyone, give chase at full speed! You must stop them! Even if you can't stop them all, you must at least stop and kill a few!"
On Zhao's side, the leader was True Man Fu Yan. When he saw all the Golden Core cultivators fleeing without hesitation, he knew that Bai Yan and the other two had started fighting.
Knowing he was no match for the enemy, the old man Xuanyou notified the Golden Elixir cultivators of the Chu Kingdom to flee.
Otherwise, how could their originally prepared demeanor have turned into this chaotic scene of fleeing in panic?
"Sigh... plans can't keep up with changes!" Zhang Lingyu sighed as he watched the increasingly dim light on the distant horizon.
The plan was perfect, but unfortunately, the group of Golden Core demon cultivators noticed it too quickly and fled at almost any cost to survive, which was quite troublesome.
In addition, having been intercepted by the demon kings at the front, it seems impossible to stop those big fish now.
Fortunately, the mass exodus of the Golden Core demon cultivators alerted the demon kings, who abandoned their pursuit and instead controlled their demon beasts to retreat towards the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range.
"Damn human cultivators, they are indeed incredibly cunning!"
The most frustrated one was the White Refined Demon King. Just now it said that it saw the situation was not good and wanted to lead the demon kings to retreat first... Who would have thought that the other side would run away faster than it did.
Not only did they run away, but they also used them as shields before leaving!
"What was that saying again? Getting sold out and still stupidly paying for spirit stones..."
Thinking of this, it became furious, roared to the sky, and recited an ancient proverb of the cultivators.
"A mere scoundrel like him, I cannot conspire with him!"
