Accompanied by Jiang the Witch and the Tai Yin Suming Sword, various disruptions occurred in the Niwan Palace, and the will of the Heavenly Dao indeed struggled to fend them off.
Thus, Chen Guanshui’s movents correspondingly beca stiff and slow.
"It worked!" Elder Xu was invigorated and hurriedly whispered to Xu Yinglian, "Changgeng’s state has obviously deteriorated, it seems he has been exhausted by our tactics, and his True Yuan is now depleted!"
Xu Yinglian felt sothing was amiss because, in her impression, her senior brother’s True Yuan wouldn’t deplete so quickly.
Could it be because of the Five Elents Divine Light, causing such massive consumption?
As doubts arose in her mind, she heard Elder Xu ask again:
"Should we make so appropriate preparations?"
Appropriate preparations? Xu Yinglian was montarily stunned but quickly reacted.
If senior brother’s Ascension was interrupted, the next mont would be a scramble by the three factions. If the Kunlun side of the Xu Family had excessively consud True Yuan, how could they compete with Shushan and Penglai?
It would be better to conserve strength, allowing Shushan and Penglai to consu more True Yuan, making subsequent battles much easier.
"Wouldn’t using this thod be sowhat dishonorable?" Xu Yinglian asked, frowning.
Elder Xu was speechless upon hearing this. Young lady, this is not just your personal affair; this is a matter of grave importance involving both Kunlun and the Xu Family of Southern Heaven!
Changgeng is not only the only Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal in the world, but also a saint with imnse rit protecting him, making him one of the greatest in the world. If they are unable to bring Changgeng back, and instead let Penglai and Shushan take him to be their son-in-law, it would be tantamount to forcibly seizing the future fortune of Kunlun and the Xu Family.
Such an outco is absolutely unacceptable for the Xu Family of Southern Heaven.
As she hesitated whether to bypass Xu Yinglian and order everyone to conserve their strength, planning to slowly explain to this naive girl, she saw that the Penglai cultivators’ offensive had obviously slowed down.
"Ying Lian, look!" Elder Xu hastily said, "Penglai has already started to pull back!"
Xu Yinglian looked carefully and imdiately felt enraged, turning her head to glare at Shi Liuli.
Shi Liuli simply ignored her, looking indifferently into the distance at Chen Guanshui.
The reason she ordered Penglai to slow down was partly due to personal considerations, but mainly because Penglai lacked powerful offensive capabilities and was more focused on containnt and defense. Thus, even if they slowed down to so extent, it would not greatly impact the overall situation.
Seeing Penglai’s lack of decorum, Xu Yinglian was finally shaken.
Though usually proud and disdaining to use such petty ans, the matter now was related not only to her but also to the future fortune of Kunlun and the Xu Family... emotions could no longer lead her actions, and she needed to weigh and judge carefully.
"We’ll pull back too!" She quickly ca to a decision.
The distance to the Heavenly Do was still great, so even if they pulled back temporarily, they could fully engage again if the situation worsened.
But if the True Yuan was almost exhausted, there would be no ti to recover once the senior brother’s Ascension was interrupted.
So Kunlun also started to conserve their strength, leaving only the Peak Masters of Shushan still attacking.
Sword Dao Techniques do not affect the Five Elents, thus they had no effect on the Five Elents Divine Light, so everyone used Flying Swords to attack. However, the suppression effect of the Five Elents Divine Light on the material of the Flying Swords caused great damage to their spirituality with each use. Consequently, although the True Yuan consumption was not severe, the damage was heartbreakingly substantial.
Seeing the other two factions pulling back, their anger soared, and soone approached An Zhisu, whispering:
"We can’t fight like this anymore; both Kunlun and Penglai have started to conserve their strength. If we continue to attack, we will only end up dressing for others."
An Zhisu, still struggling with the Sun True Obscure Sword, responded without thinking:
"Then what should we do?"
"Simple, we just pull back too."
With all three factions pulling back, the offensive imdiately slowed down, instead providing an opportunity for the will of the Heavenly Dao to further suppress the two rebellious consciousnesses within.
Jiang Lian, despite not knowing what was happening outside, was a great Heavenly Demon adept at cunning sches and could guess the general situation, feeling furious.
"Fools undeserving of consultation! At the face of a great enemy, you still manage to infight; truly unreliable!"
"Sword, we have to hurry down the Ren and Du ridians, or we’ll soon be encircled." She said to the Suming Sword.
"The Ren and Du ridians have long been blocked," said the Suming Sword.
"No problem," Jiang the Witch laughed heartily, "I’ll pretend to break through the Twelve Standard ridians, luring the Heavenly Dao’s will to block us, and you seize the chance to move through the Eight Extraordinary ridians, forcing the Heavenly Dao’s will to pull back again, I’ll forcefully rush through the Ren and Du ridians."
"Why don’t we switch? You go through the Eight Extraordinary ridians as a distraction, and I make a strong push through the Ren and Du ridians?" The Suming Sword coldly huffed, "I am the Sword Master’s Life-bound Sword Artifact, the area near the spine is where I’m most familiar."
"If you had the capability to make a strong push, you should have awakened my husband before I even arrived," Jiang the Witch said disdainfully.
The two argued for a few monts, neither willing to give in, causing the situation to co to a standstill.
anwhile, the group including Long Hu was moving within the Mortal Realm, needing to be cautious about concealing their presence, thus flying slower than usual.
They sneaked through the Divine Land Continent, entering the East Sea domain, only then did they begin to move swiftly amidst the clouds and fog.
"Father, when you et Long Long later, please don’t scare him," Long Hu carefully advised, "Otherwise, if you scare him away, it won’t be good. Restrain your killing aura for now."
"Alright, alright." Ying Long hurriedly withdrew his murderous aura, revealing a majestic smile.
Alas, initially wanting to mistaken him for soone else upon eting and directly kill him now seems impossible... Even if I show a hint of killing intent, my good daughter will lecture !
"That kid is pretty clever; he definitely won’t run off," Hu Li chuckled beside them, "Besides, running away in front of Long Hu, how could he bear it?"
"Hmph," Ying Long remarked disdainfully, "If he had any sense of responsibility, he wouldn’t have left the Eastern Emperor Realm in the first place."
"That kid is, after all, from the Human Race," Hu Li said, pausing for a mont, to remind, "Though it’s unclear which divine skill he used to disguise his lineage, it’s now certain he is of the Human Race, so it’s naturally impossible for him to stay long in the Eastern Emperor Realm."
"Since he is from the Human Race, he shouldn’t have co to the Eastern Emperor Realm initially, or used flowery words to deceive my daughter out of the Heaven-nding Stone!" Ying Long angrily retorted.
"If I rember correctly, it seed you were the one who asked him to go to the Eastern Emperor Realm?" Mad Dragon suddenly spoke.
"I only asked him to save my daughter, not give my daughter to him!" Ying Long couldn’t help but roar, "Had I known he was such a heartless and unscrupulous person, I would have spat fire and killed him in the Demon Locking Tower back then!"
"Father, don’t be angry," Long Hu hurried to diate, "When you really et, let’s first hear what Long Long has to say— I believe he is not a scum, perhaps he had no choice but to take such a desperate asure for the sake of nding the heavens."
Listening to his daughter still defending Long Long, Ying Long’s heart ached with every beat, but he could only maintain a forced smile and said:
"Good daughter, don’t worry, your father isn’t soone with a violent temper. He’s still willing to listen to that kid’s explanation."
If the explanation is good, I’ll leave him intact; if not, I’ll ensure his soul disperses!
A group of Demon Race cultivators approached the edge of the Southeast Heaven Pillar and soon noticed the grand spectacle of a magical competition ahead.
"Everyone hold on, let check it out first," Hu Li said.
"What’s there to check?" Mad Dragon laughed heartily, "With our two ancestors here, we can just crush through."
"Better to be cautious," Ying Long said gravely, "That kid seems deceitful. If we alarm him and let him escape, it would be bad. Hu Li, you go scout and find out first."
Hu Li then perford the Celestial Fox Illusion Technique and quietly snuck over.
A mont later, she returned and said:
"The cultivators present belong to three sects: Kunlun, Shushan, and Penglai, they’re almost all of the Nascent Soul Realm."
"They seem to be besieging soone, the person is protecting themselves with the Five Elents Divine Light, but it can be confird that they are not from the Peacock Clan and are currently ascending."
"Ascending?" Mad Dragon asked with interest, "So, these people are trying to prevent soone from ascending? How interesting, if the ascension succeeds, aren’t these humans afraid of being slaughtered to the last?"
"If not from the Peacock Clan, why would they have the Five Elents Divine Light?" Ying Long also pondered.
"Father, father," Long Hu suddenly said, "Could that person be Long Long?"
"What do you an?" Ying Long was imdiately taken aback.
"Look, if Long Long succeeded in nding the heavens, wouldn’t he gain rit and ascend?" Long Hu thought aloud, "Then those sects deprived of Heaven-nding Stone fragnts, like Kunlun, Shushan, and Penglai, coming to stop Long Long’s ascension wouldn’t be unusual, would it?"
It was already confird among the Demon Race cultivators that Long Long went to the Eastern Emperor Realm with the intention of seizing the Heaven-nding Stone fragnts.
Kunlun’s Changgeng, Shushan’s Qing Heng, and Penglai’s Jingyun simultaneously betraying their sects was also information Hu Li had gathered. Plus, being directly under the Heavenly Leak, an ordinary cultivator couldn’t possibly travel thousands of miles here to undergo tribulation and Feather Transformation, nor could they invite the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Sect to besiege them, so the answer wasn’t difficult to figure out:
This person must have imnsely benefited from nding the heavens, thus ascending in such a remote location directly under the Heavenly Leak. As for the three Pure Ones from the Orthodox Sect besieging simultaneously, it clearly showed they were exasperated to the extre, with no intention of leaving a way out.
Thinking of this, Long Hu hurriedly urged Ying Long:
"Father, quick, help Long Long, don’t let him be hard by these humans!"
"Wait," Ying Long, naturally reluctant, quickly found an excuse, "Good daughter, if that bastard truly ascends, won’t you never see him again?"
"Ah, this." Long Hu imdiately beca conflicted.
She didn’t want Long Long to die, but she also didn’t want him to ascend and leave, suddenly becoming so anxious that tears welled up— this way, father would surely find a way to help.
Sure enough, Ying Long imdiately beca flustered and quickly said:
"Don’t worry, good daughter, father is here, he definitely won’t let him ascend successfully, and of course, won’t let these people kill Long Long. So please, don’t cry, alright?"
