Chapter 965 - 302: The City Falls, Secret Exposed (Part 6)

The crisp sound of space breaking echoed in the void.

Chu Xiangyu furrowed her elegant brows slightly, emitting an invisible force from her body to protect the surrounding space from being affected by the raging void storm.

Watching as everyone had already launched their attacks, with various earth-shattering techniques hitting the shadow of Ba Xia, causing the thin light shield to flicker repeatedly, Chu Xiangyu looked toward Shen Chongzhen with some doubt.

"Besides the Dao Seal Jade Carvings, does your Shen Family have any other treasures?"

In her opinion, just two Dao Seal Jade Carvings alone wouldn’t warrant so many Nascent Soul True Monarchs to join forces in attacking the Shen Family.

Especially seeing the shadow of Ba Xia withstand the joint bombardment of more than twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs, among whom were top-ranking experts like Sikong Jinghong from the Cyan Moon Dao Sect and Yue Shanwang from the Daqu Secret Realm.

This strange giant turtle shadow possesses such terrifying defensive capabilities, enough to rival some Grand Arrays from the Dao Source Secret Realms.

The Shen Family is merely a native noble family from Yangnao Land, having risen for only a few hundred years. How could they possess such a level of sect-protecting artifact?

Shen Chongzhen shook his head in bewilderment.

"Chongzhen does not know, not even what this giant turtle shadow is, Chongzhen has never seen it before..."

He looked sincerely at Chu Xiangyu, showing no sign of lying.

As Chu Xiangyu looked at him and was about to speak, the second joint attack by the crowd already hit the shadow of Ba Xia!

The devastating storm of energy completely shattered the surrounding mountains and earth!

Countless terrifying magma and underground dark rivers erupted, and as the scorching magma met the river water, it instantly agitated a massive cloud of steam!

Yangnao Land’s Dao Source was already nearly depleted, and the whole small world was gradually collapsing from the perimeter.

Now, Yunzhui County where Yunshui City is located suffered full-force attacks from more than twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs!

All at once, the collapse speed of Yangnao Land increased significantly!

Within the space protected by Chu Xiangyu, Shen Chongzhen gazed afar, witnessing everything within sight slowly crumbling, while the distant raging sea surged towards them!

The vast Yangnao Land now seems to be left with only about a thousand miles surrounding Yunshui City, the rest having been swallowed by the endless sea.

"The Shen Family’s sect-protecting artifact is unmanned and inflexible; I’m afraid it won’t withstand the joint attack of more than twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs."

Chu Xiangyu spoke solemnly as the crowd’s third attack fell again.

The flicker rate of the shadow of Ba Xia accelerated noticeably, and visibly, the shadow had become quite blurred.

This spectacle boosted the confidence of those involved, driving them to attack continuously with full power.

Seeing this, Shen Chongzhen felt anxious!

He desperately wished for Chu Xiangyu to step in and save his family.

But he also knew clearly in his heart that the Ice God Palace would never recklessly offend so many forces present for the sake of the Shen Family.

The Ice God Palace only descended upon Yangnao Land with three Nascent Soul True Monarchs; if they intervened, it would mean directly opposing the more than twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Facing a joint effort from over twenty individuals, not to mention saving Shen Family members, even their own survival would be precarious.

As he watched the trembling and teetering shadow of Ba Xia, all he could do was endure his heart bleeding with pain.

"Do you know which forces these people are from?"

Silently clenching his fists, Shen Chongzhen’s voice trembled as he spoke.

Beside him, Zhou Xuan looked at him, her lips moved slightly, and she could only sigh and nod.

She understood Shen Chongzhen’s mood at the moment.

If not for his Sword Heart being strong enough, with clarity and transparency.

Given his commitment to his family, witnessing his family in such peril without being able to help them, he would’ve long been driven mad like Shen Chongming.

"They are all very powerful..."

"Especially the forces of Cyan Moon Dao Sect, Daqu Secret Realm, and Cangming Mountain, none are weaker than our Ice God Palace..."

Zhou Xuan spoke softly.

"I know." Shen Chongzhen seemed to mumble, "If the Shen Family is destroyed today, I won’t let go of these forces for the rest of my life!"

As he said this, he turned to Zhou Xuan, his face showing apology: "When the time comes..."

Facing his gaze, Zhou Xuan’s expression was complex, but she then smiled faintly and shook her head, "If you want revenge, I will follow you."

Before them, Chu Xiangyu heard this and could only sigh inwardly.

She was already regretting.

Regretting accepting the Shen Family’s two Dao Seal Jade Carvings and agreeing to have her precious disciple marry Shen Chongzhen.

But the karma was already tied, and to backtrack now was impossible.

To have his disciple bear the blood feud along with Shen Chongzhen, one can only imagine the hardships to come in his remaining years.

Yet, as Shen Chongzhen had guessed.

She couldn’t let Ice God Palace suddenly take on so many enemies for the sake of the Shen Family.

While a myriad of thoughts crossed their minds, over twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs below had already unleashed over a dozen attacks together.

The Ba Xia’s silhouette was nearly vanished by now.

Those who had attacked also kept a cautious mind, beginning to retrieve various Spirit Pills and Treasure Medicines to replenish the spiritual power they had expended.

They were all aware that once the silhouette was broken, who the treasure blood would end up with depended on one’s own abilities.

No one present wanted to toil for nothing, only for others to reap the fruits of their labor.

"When that barrier is breached, I will do my best to rescue your Shen Family members."

"As for how many can be rescued, I cannot promise."

Chu Xiangyu spoke solemnly.

She now only hoped to rescue as many members of the Shen Family as possible, to somewhat lessen the hatred in Shen Chongzhen’s heart.

At least so he could peacefully stay in Ice God Palace to cultivate, and seek revenge after he grew stronger.

"Thank you, Master!"

Shen Chongzhen bowed with gratitude on his face.

He now realized that the reason these people had joined forces to attack the Shen Family was likely because they had their eyes on a certain treasure of the Shen Family.

With things reaching this point, losing the treasure didn’t matter as long as the people were safe. It was already a blessing.

These people coveted the Shen Family’s treasure, and Ice God Palace’s intervention to save lives did not infringe on their interests.

The attacks from below were somewhat withheld, allowing the precarious Ba Xia’s silhouette to endure for a couple more rounds.

When the Nascent Soul Sword Immortal named Sikong Jinghong from the Cyan Moon Dao Sect unleashed a terrifying sword aura, the Ba Xia’s silhouette, which had been resisting for a long time, finally could not hold on any longer!

Roar!

A resentful and mournful cry rang out, and the Ba Xia’s silhouette that protected the entire Yunshui City suddenly disappeared.

And the four people of Shen Wenan, who were hiding in the city, were now exposed under everyone’s divine sense!

Not only them, but even Shen Yuan from the Black Water Pavilion and the Five Elements Secret Realm entrance in the back mountain were also clearly seen by these Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

"Huh?"

"No wonder these ants were guarding and unwilling to leave, there’s actually a hidden secret realm in this city!"

"What a peculiar secret realm, like a newborn small world!"

"If I could refine this secret realm into my Dao Source Secret Realm, it might cause a transformation for my Cangkong Mountain’s Dao Source Secret Realm!"

"Opportunity, a great opportunity indeed!"

"A drop of treasure blood, a newly born complete secret realm..."

For a moment, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from various forces all had burning eyes, like a pack of ravenous wolves breaking into a farmhouse, discovering two pieces of tender and tempting feast.

Above the broken walls and ruins of Yunshui City, near the location of the Black Water Pavilion, Shen Wenan and the other three stood in the void, prepared for a desperate fight.

While the external cultivators who had breached the Ba Xia’s silhouette were contemplating whether to seize the Blood of Dominator or the Five Elements Secret Realm first, a resounding dragon roar suddenly echoed above their heads!

The next moment, a black dragon, thousands of feet long and emanating a fierce and evil aura, came roaring from afar!

"Pure-blooded Dragon Species!?"

"Why are these creatures coming to join the commotion?"

Seeing the black dragon, several people furrowed their brows.

"No, it’s not a Dragon Species, look there’s someone on the back of that black dragon!"

Someone with sharp eyes immediately noticed that there seemed to be three figures standing on the back of the black dragon soaring through the void.

"This aura... it’s actually him..."

"I knew such a formidable person wouldn’t fall so easily."

"It seems now, he has succeeded."

"Hehe... those folks from the Ancient Central State Domain and the Netherworld Domain who intervened back then are going to have headaches now."

Among the many Nascent Soul True Monarchs, some evidently recognized Xu Xiu on the back of the black dragon.

They also knew Xu Xiu’s character and anticipated that since Xu Xiu’s plans had succeeded this time, the Cangmin Sea Region would soon become lively.
