Chapter 1369: A Storm Approached
Without needing Elder Ma to say anything, Xiao Chen naturally understood that teor Trail City required reinforcents.
"All of you, withdraw. There is no need to defend Maple Leaf Lake anymore. Flee as far as you can, ideally, all the way to Supre Sky City," Xiao Chen said calmly and decisively.
"Why?"
Elder Ma and the others gave Xiao Chen strange looks. They could not understand why Xiao Chen did not want them to defend but retreat entirely, instead.
"Don't ask why. Elder Ma, lead the group and leave quickly."
As Xiao Chen looked directly at Elder Ma, he burst forth with invisible might. While Xiao Chen's tone was calm, it gave off a pressure that could not be quantified or resisted. After about three seconds, Elder Ma helplessly made his decision.
"Since the Azure Dragon King ordered it, we will quickly make our retreat."
With Elder Ma's call, although the disciples guarding Maple Leaf Lake were confused and dissatisfied, they still left due to the lack of choice.
The main reason was still Xiao Chen's reputation. It was sufficient for these people to obey his orders. Even if his orders were sowhat strange, no one objected.
After a while, Maple Leaf Lake emptied out, leaving only Yue Bingyun and Mo Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I just knew that the two of you would not be willing to go. Promise this: if we really run into danger, please retreat imdiately. Promise this, and I'll bring you to teor Trail City. If not, I will not bring you."
Yue Bingyun and Mo Chen exchanged glances as if they were discussing sothing.
Soon, Mo Chen smiled and said in a soft voice, "Big Brother Xiao Chen, don't worry. Elder Sister Bingyun and I are not stubborn people. We will absolutely not hold you back or cause trouble. At the crucial mont, we will definitely be able to take care of ourselves."
"Don't say that and don't ever think like that, either. Knowing you is my—Xiao Chen's—greatest fortune. No matter where, you will never be a burden for , Xiao Chen, ever!"
After Xiao Chen said that, he stretched out his hand, and the Formation Spirit of Maple Leaf Lake broke out of the water and turned into a large bird radiating spiritual light.
Then, the three soared into the air and landed on the back of the big bird. The big bird let out a sharp cry as it carried the three quickly towards teor Trail City.

At the sa ti, at the node where Xiao Bai was within the ninth layer of formations, everyone showed fear in their hearts. They all stared—tongue-tied—at the fiery light soaring through the sky, lighting the night sky up brighter than day.
"Young Miss, teor Trail City requires reinforcents," Yuan Xu said with a sowhat grave expression. The war was going smoothly. Unexpectedly, teor Trail City ended up in peril.
Xiao Bai already changed a lot long ago. She nodded and said, "You and Kong Yuan will accompany . The others will guard the place, preventing any sneak attacks from the Deity Dao Union."
After Xiao Bai said that, she gently waved the formation plate in her hand. A strong wind gathered, and a ferocious tiger Formation Spirit with two wings appeared.
The three of them rode the tiger and flew towards teor Trail City.
Similar scenes happened at the other nodes. An Junxi, Shui Lingling, and the others rode on Formation Spirits and rushed to teor Trail City in the shortest ti possible.
Hundreds of Formation Spirits flickered with light, breaking air as they appeared like beams of light shooting over.
These lights were like fire, resplendent like stars.
All sorts of Formation Spirits cried out—bird calls and ferocious roars resounded in the sky for one million kiloters around. The cries of the Formation Spirits rang out endlessly.

At the inner hall of the Supre Sky Sect, Ying Zongtian and the other Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors looked at the sand table in front with extrely grave expressions.
They could see every single movent of the battlefield on the sand table. Not only the formation at the well-fortified teor Trail City but even the vast city was mostly destroyed.
The fla shooting into the sky looked exceptionally piercing.
The allied armies of the four races of the Deity Dao Union gathered in the broken city, killing all the disciples on the Supre Sky Sect's side and chasing them down.
However, the main force was the Deity Race.
Occasionally, a divine golden light fell like a star from the sky. These were the "Respected Deities" of the Deity Race, terd the Three Thousand Respected Deities. Each of these Respected Deities possessed the strength of a Martial Emperor. Furthermore, the Deity Race sent one-third of them.
These one thousand Martial-Emperor-level existences worked together and attacked. The formation in teor Trail City imdiately broke, plunging the city into despair.
No one thought that the Deity Race would use their trump card in this battle. Unexpectedly, after numbing everyone to this possibility, the Deity Race suddenly made their move more than half a month later.
"This is truly unexpected. Now, all paths of retreat have been sealed off. If we had made preparations to retreat before this, the situation would not be as frantic as it is now." The Thunder and Lightning Palace's Vice Palace Master sighed, shaking his head.
There were many Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors in the inner hall. However, even with their strength, they could not go and reinforce teor Trail City because they too had their own opponents.
The Minor Heavenly Martial Emperors were responsible for defending the nodes, while the Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors were responsible for the enemy's sudden attacks. These were two different battlefields. They were independent but affected each other.
"We have to think of a way to rescue the Martial Emperors trapped in teor Trail City. Otherwise, we will lose all of our formations." A Fiend Race Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor analyzed calmly.
Most of the Minor Heavenly Martial Emperors on the Supre Sky Sect's side were gathered in teor Trail City. If they were surrounded and killed, then the sixth layer of formations and the third layer of formations would not have any Martial Emperors defending them.
If they lost all the camps in the periphery, just Supre Sky City alone would not be able to bring out the might of the Worldly Mountain River Great Sun Formation. With all the Minor Heavenly Martial Emperors dead, the situation would deteriorate.
The entire Supre Sky Sect would imdiately be in danger. When all the Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors thought about this, they all trembled in fear and felt sowhat flustered.
"This is really frustrating. If we go over, the three Holy Masters and their people will block us. We can only watch as this happens."
"The Deity Race is truly deranged; they even used their trump card. They are pushing us into a corner. Are they not afraid of both sides ending up hurt?!"
"How hateful! If the Thunder Sovereign were still around, how could the Deity Race be so arrogant?!"
"Brother Supre Sky, what should we do? You decide!"
The Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors here all looked over, turning to this Pri who could defeat the Heaven Punishing Corpse God by half a move.
Ying Zongtian looked at the various scenes on the sand table, remaining silent for a while. After that, he said, "Let's go. I don't care whether the Three Holy Masters block us or not; we cannot sit by idly while we watch our brothers die. Everyone, charge in with ."
After saying that, the Fiend Race's Peacock King said, "Brother Kong, please let Brother Spirit Fox know."
The Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors present, as well as the Sovereign Martial Emperors, who were stronger than Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors, all felt the determination in Ying Zongtian's tone.
This mont was still far from the final battle. If they went out to battle now, the rhythm would fall into the hands of the Deity Dao Union. It would turn extrely disadvantageous to them.
However, due to the opponent's move, Ying Zongtian still decided to fight!
"We will listen to Brother Supre Sky. Those three Holy Masters are taking benefits from outsiders; this old man has long been upset with them for that."
"Exactly. Before the Thunder Sovereign left, he clearly passed the Martial God dallion to Brother Supre Sky. No matter how one looks at it, Brother Supre Sky is the rightful inheritor of the Martial God Palace, yet these people still remain unconvinced of it."
"Let's go and kill to our heart's content."
Often, the attitude of the central pillar of the group would affect the morale of the entire group. If Ying Zongtian were to give up or choose to protect himself, ignoring the people at teor Trail City, the morale would drop significantly.
"Whoosh!"
In re instants, the many major characters in the inner hall tore space open and headed to teor Trail City at lightning speed through the void.

Far away in the distance, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch, and the three Holy Masters imdiately sensed the fluctuations.
Like the Supre Sky Sect's side, the Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors and Sovereign Martial Emperors gathered at the Deity Dao Union.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign smiled faintly and said unhurriedly, "It is indeed as I expected. Ying Zongtian could not hold himself back in the end. Holy Masters, I'll leave blocking them to you three."
The Phoenix's Passion Palace's Vermilion Bird Holy Master nodded and replied, "Of course. Since the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign even used the Respected Deities, we will naturally not hold anything back. With the three of us making a move, we guarantee that Ying Zongtian will be blocked. You three Pris will not need to make a move."
Based on the Vermilion Bird Holy Master's tone, it seed like they intended to use the trump cards of the Three Holy Lands, the Holy Beast Totems.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign nodded in satisfaction as he watched the Three Holy Masters lead most of the Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors away, disappearing from this place.
"Deity Sovereign, what about the Xiao Chen variable? What should we do?" one of the Ghost Race Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors asked as he pointed at the image of Xiao Chen in water screen in front.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign smiled coldly and countered, "How is he a variable? If I really want to kill him, all it will take is a finger, and I can squish him to death at any ti. However, I only fear that Ying Zongtian would kill the Divine Son in the sa way. The only problematic thing is the convening token in that brat's hands.
"However, that is not a problem. I have my own ways to deal with that group of Martial Emperors and Pris from the oceanic world."
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's expression appeared calm as though he was sure of victory, inspiring great confidence in everyone present.
The sudden attack by one thousand Deity Race Martial Emperors caused most of teor Trail City to fall. The true final decisive battle seed to have started early due to this sudden attack.
Rain clouds stirred; a storm approached!
