Chapter 779 - 724: Deadly Escape

Chapter 779: Chapter 724: Deadly Escape

After making the decision, the group all changed into inconspicuous black clothes, and Ge Yuchan took out the Concealing Jade Talismans she used and divided them among everyone.

With too many people, Ge Yuchan’s Jade Talismans were not enough, so Jiang Yuebai directly split into two White Vine Avatars and made several Divine Concealment Turtle Breath Talismans on the spot.

Compared to the Divine Concealment Talisman in her hand, the Divine Concealment Turtle Breath Talismans were slightly inferior, unable to evade Divinity Transformation level detection. However, with the Divinity Transformation True Demons in the demon cloud above not yet making a move, they only needed to be cautious and avoid drawing the demons’ attention, and they should be able to break out.

The team was led by Jiang Yuebai at the front, with Lu Nanzhi covering the rear, Shen Huaxi in the middle responsible for healing while keeping an eye on changes in the surroundings, and the others scattered to either side.

Tang Weimian hadn’t yet verified the Demon Detection Array completely; as the team had to depart, she had to give up temporarily, silently deciding that if she survived this time, she must learn the "Divine Soul Birth Thought Technique" to simultaneously calculate the Great Array while being on alert during travel.

Once everyone was ready, Li Shen Zhi gritted his teeth and withdrew the Great Array, closely following Jiang Yuebai.

On the outskirts of the ruins, demon fog spread, enveloping the world in darkness, with eerie shrieks echoing within. The boiling demon fog not far away sensed the group in the ruins, and amid the swirling mist, dozens of demon fog transformed instantly into ferocious starving wolves, pouncing towards the group.

Jiang Yuebai unfurled the Taihe Umbrella and swept it horizontally, turning the entire umbrella into countless snow-white feathers that merged into a white phoenix, which screeched and charged forward, instantly shredding the group of demon clan starving wolves to pieces.

The Primordial Magnetic Ruler was cast, continuing to spin above everyone’s heads, centering around Jiang Yuebai and expanding into the Lifeless Sand Realm, protecting everyone’s surroundings.

"Go!"

Jiang Yuebai leaped into the air, speeding along low to the ground, moving against the fleeing crowd, and the surrounding demon clan army, charging towards the northeast side of the forest beneath the slope.

The group hurriedly concealed their tracks, like a swift gale, diving into underground fissures, stepping through the Fiery Fire Grass clusters, silently weaving through the demon clan army.

Everyone was tense, with senses sharply attuned, one hand holding their Magic Treasure, and the other ready to cast a spell, prepared for any encounter combat.

However, Jiang Yuebai was keen, always leading the group to avoid places of fierce combat in advance, reducing the risk of exposure due to fighting.

Along the way, battle fires raged, and Jiang Yuebai saw fleeing cultivators fighting as units within their sects and families.

Amidst the flying sand and stones, the flash of blades and swords, and more than a dozen Divinity Transformation True Demons pressing from above, many Nascent Soul Cultivators struggled to unleash their full powers, being besieged by numerous demon clans.

Under the overwhelming numbers, even those Nascent Soul Cultivators with some strength began to be worn down, gradually losing ground.

Next, humanity was showcased vividly at this moment.

Jiang Yuebai saw someone decisively abandon a pleading companion to escape, knowing that by working together, they all had a chance to survive.

Others deliberately led demons towards other sects and families, causing them to be besieged from all sides, eventually dying tragically.

Jiang Yuebai was also unaware of the situation among Golden Core Stage cultivators or Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators at this moment.

Among the Nascent Soul Cultivators, the initial count reached nearly ten thousand, but after the first round of contention, fewer than four thousand Nascent Soul Cultivators remained, while the demon army numbered at least twenty or thirty thousand.

If someone could gather all the human clan Nascent Soul Cultivators and coordinate them uniformly, it might be possible to counter-kill this demon clan group.

Unfortunately, with everything happening so suddenly, everyone was scattered like loose sand, only to be devoured separately by the demon clan.

"Senior Sister Jiang, look over there!"

Shen Huaxi alerted, prompting Jiang Yuebai to look towards the forest below, where the forest fires suddenly converged at one point, soaring straight into the sky.

The Vermilion Bird spread its wings, spewing flames, directly igniting the demon cloud concealing the Divinity Transformation True Demons.

Meteoric rain of fire fell rapidly to the ground, accompanied by the demon clan’s piercing cries, and a massive crack was swiftly burned into the demon clan’s encirclement.

Regrettably, the gap was not in the northeast direction where Jiang Yuebai’s group intended to go.

All those engaged in bloody battle paused briefly, looking towards the forest depths, where a male cultivator clad in dark red attire, surrounded by Southern Bright Fire, like a Fire God descending to the world, with Vermilion Bird Copper Rings spinning around him, transformed countless small Vermilion Birds from flames and attacked the demons perpetually surging under his feet.

That was Ye Tianlang of the Red Sun Sect!

Five Nascent Soul Stage demon clan war generals leaped from the ground, transforming into varying fierce beasts, roaring as they charged.

Fearlessly, Ye Tianlang immediately engaged them in combat.

Simultaneously, on another side, Pei Shengyue in yellow stepped into mid-air, drawing a long bow and launching an arrow that shattered stars.

Countless star lights dragged long tails and indiscriminately bombarded the ground under Pei Shengyue’s feet, causing vast areas within a ten-mile radius to explode in dazzling golden light.

When the golden light faded, the forest was devastated, leaving no grass alive, creating a vast vacuum zone, where nearly a thousand demons perished while only a few Primordial Demon Generals barely survived.

Cackles!

The eerie laughter echoed from above, as two beams of blood light emerged from the demon cloud ablaze with Southern Bright Fire, rushing towards Ye Tianlang and Pei Shengyue with surging demonic qi.

Both promptly summoned their respective Acquired Spiritual Treasures, unfolded their domains, and confronted the Divinity Transformation True Demons.

Everywhere, each world’s prodigies revealed their trump cards, fiercely counter-attacking, but those cultivators with powerful Spiritual Treasures were targeted by the Divinity Transformation True Demons above, singled out and slain.

Roar!!

Dragon howls shook the heavens and earth, and Jiang Yuebai saw ahead two enormous dragons, one blue and the other red, rising into the air, battling with Primordial Demon Generals.

The Mystic Turtle’s luminescence soared into the sky, unfolding suddenly, transforming into a colossal turtle shell luminescence, covering the Luanshi Slope ahead and the two gigantic dragons, as a group rapidly cleared the demons within the Great Array.

"Could it be Junior Brother Xie’s True Martial Immortal Sect and Five Mountains Immortal Sect people at the front?"

Fang Yuxing anxiously asked Jiang Yuebai, seeing the Mystic Turtle luminescence and the two dragons.

"It should be!"

Jiang Yuebai had barely spoken when an imposing beam of blood light rushed past above them, heading directly towards the Mystic Turtle Array.

The blood light crashed into the array, with waves of force oscillating wildly, yet the entire array was as firm as a true Mystic Turtle Shell, impenetrable.

"Great array!"

Li Shen Zhi praised, his eyes gleaming!

That Divinity Transformation True Demon’s fury flared, surging demon fog boiling around him, consistently crashing into the Mystic Turtle Array, with shock waves sweeping across the land, inadvertently injuring surrounding demons, scattering them.

Yet no matter how the Divinity Transformation True Demon attacked, he couldn’t breach the Mystic Turtle Array.

Then, another Divinity Transformation True Demon descended from above, the two demons exchanging glances, fanning out to either side, their blood-red eyes within the demon fog sneering monstrously, as numerous Demon Octopuses suddenly emerged from the ground around the array, continuously and densely assaulted the array barrier.

A batch was eradicated, and another followed, with the Demon Octopuses dying prolifically, their bodies releasing accelerating Muddy Qi, gradually corroding the array barrier.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai halted, recalling the scene during the city defense in the Heavenly Spear Realm with Uncle Fuyi, where demons used the incessant Demon Octopuses to break the array in similar fashion.

Though time-consuming, it was effective!

Could this really not be the Mahayana Immortal Monarch’s trial, but the demon clan led by Shen Mingjing?

Jiang Yuebai pondered briefly, addressing the group behind her, "Xie Jingshan is likely ahead, should we go lend them a hand?"

Upon Jiang Yuebai’s inquiry, everyone was somewhat taken aback.

Fang Yuxing immediately said, "Isn’t going to help Junior Brother Xie the right thing to do?"

"Yeah, what’s there to hesitate about?" questioned Yuu Qiuqi.

Shen Huaxi nodded, and Lu Nanzhi at the back also nodded at Jiang Yuebai, as did the others, bewildered by why Jiang Yuebai would ask, feeling it was only necessary to proceed.

Shen Huaxi said, "The direction we’re heading is heavily guarded; if we can gain assistance from Junior Brother Xie’s group and Five Mountains Immortal Sect, our chances of victory would be significantly higher."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuebai felt a surge of warmth, and she turned to lead the group swiftly towards the Mystic Turtle Array!
