Chapter 785 - 730: Transmission Array

Chapter 785: Chapter 730: Transmission Array

Half an hour ago.

Shen Huaxi and his group successfully reached Luanshi Slope at the northeastern edge of this realm. To avoid alarming the enemy, they didn’t set up an array and hid in a rift valley created by a great battle outside Luanshi Slope.

Ge Yuchan emerged from the darkness, removed her black mask, and whispered to the group, "Roughly estimating, there are three thousand troops. No Divinity Transformation Stage True Demons were seen. There are ten Primordial Demon Generals, over a thousand Core Formation Stage Magic Demons, and the rest are Earth Demon Soldiers."

Shen Huaxi scanned the group. They numbered twenty; though all were at the Nascent Soul Stage, and more than capable to take down ten Primordial Demon Generals, they were outnumbered. Even a single move from each of the Demon Clan’s soldiers below could overwhelm them.

Before Jiang Yuebai returned, Shen Huaxi needed to clear a path for escape while ensuring everyone’s safety.

"Are you confident in infiltrating behind the enemy lines to investigate?" Shen Huaxi asked Ge Yuchan.

Ge Yuchan pondered seriously for a moment, "I can do it alone, but if there really is a Transmission Array in the rear and it’s damaged, I can’t repair it. But at most, I can take one more person."

Shen Huaxi nodded, having considered this point too, then turned to look at Li Shen Zhi, Muh Wushuang, and Tang Weimian.

Tang Weimian was still squatting alone in the corner, writing and calculating. She had been verifying something constantly during breaks along the way, which seemed very important to her.

Muh Wushuang had a fiery temperament, and the arrays he was proficient in were mostly lethal. Hence the most suitable person to accompany Ge Yuchan would be Li Shen Zhi.

Shen Huaxi’s gaze landed on Li Shen Zhi, who shuddered, "Why are you looking at me?!"

Ge Yuchan also looked towards Li Shen Zhi, who sighed and wiped his face, "Alright, alright, I’ll go, but let me say upfront, if there is a Transmission Array and I manage to fix it, I’ll be the first to run. Don’t blame me."

Hearing this, Jing Quan, who was eavesdropping from behind, brightened his eyes and hurriedly said, "I’ll go too."

Shen Huaxi’s face darkened, and Ge Yuchan outright refused, "I can’t take that many people. If you want to go, go by yourself."

Shen Huaxi ignored Jing Quan and said to Ge Yuchan, "You two must be careful. If you find a Transmission Array, release this firework. I believe Senior Sister Jiang will understand what it means from behind."

Ge Yuchan accepted the firework tube, looking worried. She feared that if they were discovered by the Demon Army, Li Shen Zhi might need to repair the Transmission Array. How long could she hold out alone?

Shen Huaxi noticed Ge Yuchan’s worry and smiled reassuringly, "Don’t worry. There’s nothing you two need to fear. Just focus on clearing the path for us, and we’ll distract all the Demon Army!"

"No way!"

Just as Shen Huaxi finished speaking, Jing Quan jumped out in objection. But before he could continue, Shen Huaxi suddenly flicked out a streak of blood light that shot straight into Jing Quan’s mouth.

"Cough, cough! What did you just feed me?!" Jing Quan clutched his throat, angrily questioning.

The others looked at Shen Huaxi in shock, seeing him calmly adjust his sleeves with a chilly demeanor that one couldn’t underestimate.

"You mess things up more than you help; in military matters, people like you are usually dealt with first!"

"This is my specially made Corrosive Heart-Piercing Poison. If you behave and follow orders, I’ll give you the antidote after we leave. If not, hmph~"

"You! You! You’ve gone too far!" Jing Quan was furious yet helpless.

The members of the Five Mountains Immortal Sect felt he deserved it, as he had repeatedly dragged them down along the way, always speaking negatively, irritating everyone.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, what should we do? The people of the Five Mountains Immortal Sect await your orders."

The seven male and female cultivators of the Five Mountains Immortal Sect all nodded. Along the way, it was often because of Shen Huaxi’s vigilance that they avoided the Demon Clan’s patrols, sparing them from hard battles.

Now that Ge Yuchan from the Heavenly Interence Sect was risking her life to traverse through the Demon Clan’s army to scout for a Transmission Array, they felt obliged to help.

The two male cultivators from the True Martial Immortal Sect, who had a good relationship with Xie Jingshan, also stood up, saying, "We shall fulfill our duty and follow your command."

The remaining male and female cultivators from the Jing Family of the True Martial Immortal Sect remained silent, having witnessed Jing Quan’s fate.

The True Martial Immortal Sect was counted among the Ten Great Powers and held a good reputation outside, but even the best of sects have a few bad apples.

Dao Lord Nangu held a high status in the True Martial Immortal Sect, but managing his clan was a challenge, and he couldn’t address every issue.

Shen Huaxi nodded gratefully to the cultivators from the Five Mountains Immortal Sect and the two from the True Martial Immortal Sect. "Indeed, I need your assistance. My plan is... to court death!"

The group sat together, watching as Shen Huaxi pointed at the Mountain and River Chessboard, explaining his plan bit by bit.

Tang Weimian, on the side, was focused on her calculations, looking at the results with disbelief.

"Did I miscalculate, or is there really a problem with this Demon Detection Array? No, no, no, it must be my mistake. If Junior Brother Xiaowu were here, he would surely see where I went wrong. Let me calculate it again..."

After resting, the group was preparing to set off when suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted in the rear. The surging blood wave swept in all directions, with even those miles away feeling its impact.

Luckily, Shen Huaxi promptly summoned his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Blood Demon Pearl. The Blood Demon Qi within the pearl was of the same source as the raging blood wave from afar, and in an instant, it was absorbed entirely by the Blood Demon Pearl.

This commotion, however, alarmed the Demon Clan’s army guarding Luanshi Slope. Ten Primordial Demon Generals immediately led countless Demon soldiers to charge forward.

"Junior Sister Ge, leave first!"

Ge Yuchan took Li Shen Zhi, and in the blink of an eye, the two disappeared into the crowd.

The seven cultivators from the Five Mountains Immortal Sect immediately spread out as per Shen Huaxi’s deployment, encircling the crowd, charging toward the Demon Clan’s army fearlessly and without hesitation.

*

Jiang Yuebai led a team to break through with great effort. Without any Divinity Transformation Stage True Demons to stop them, and with not many Primordial Demon Generals along the way, Lu Nanzhi could slay large swathes of Low-Level Demon Soldiers with a single Water Strike Three Thousand.

Many Sword Cultivators naturally spread out to the sides to protect everyone.

Jiang Yuebai also displayed generosity for once, laying down the Hundred Flowers Domain along the way to envelop everyone, speeding up their recovery of injuries and Spiritual Energy.

She also summoned the Netherworld Hundred Ghosts Painting, releasing a hundred ghosts to follow, cutting down Demon soldiers.

Due to the massive consumption of power, she had to consume all the Elixirs and Spirit Stones from her storage ring to barely support herself.

As the group got closer to the northeast, Jiang Yuebai extended her Divine Sense, hearing the sounds of battle, seeing firelight illuminate the sky, with rolling Demon Fog encircling Shen Huaxi’s group, who were fighting while retreating, trapped and finding it hard to break free.

Jiang Yuebai’s heart tightened. Not far away, Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan also noticed the dire situation and accelerated towards them.

Bang!

A brilliant firework exploded into the sky, leaving the Heavenly Interence Sect’s sect totem as a beacon in the night, stirring everyone’s spirits.

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes lit up, immediately realizing that this indicated there was a way out.

"The Transmission Array to the northeast is still intact. Hurry up, I’ll go ahead!"

Jiang Yuebai shouted aloud, then activated the Michen Seal, breaking through space to teleport.

Having fought intensely up to this point, she had consumed too much, and the Space Restriction’s power wasn’t enough to transport so many people.

As Jiang Yuebai teleported above Luanshi Slope, preparing to attack the Demon Clan’s army below to help Shen Huaxi and his group, she heard Shen Huaxi shout.

"Now, activate the array!"

As the words fell, a golden light shot into the sky from the Demon Clan’s army, instantaneously transforming into a gigantic Mystic Turtle Dharma, its feet pressing down heavily on the earth, with its turtle shell bearing down with weight.

The entire Demon Clan’s army, every last one, was trapped within the Mystic Turtle Array, unable to escape.

Ge Yuchan, in the ruins behind Luanshi Slope, held a dagger, utterly astonished.

She had prepared to fight to the last breath, never allowing the Demon Army to interfere with Li Shen Zhi’s efforts. Yet she hadn’t expected Shen Huaxi to truly succeed, capturing all of the Demon Army, allowing them to proceed without distraction.

But how would they, also trapped within the array, manage to break through now?
