Many cultivators glared at Yan Jun with unfriendly expressions. If he had not made the decision on his own, those 200 odd fellow sect members might not have died!
Feeling guilty, Yan Jun coughed gently. "I didn't do it on purpose either. I merely wanted everyone to rest a little more."
Some cultivators could not hold it in and sneered, "Hmph! That's easy for you to say. More than 200 fellow sect members died here because of a single sentence from you! "
"That's because they weren't strong enough. If they're afraid of death, they shouldn't have followed us into the valley!"
"Senior Brother Yan, we're all from the same sect. How could you say something like that?!"
"Enough!"
Seeing that the atmosphere in the crowd was getting out of hand and that the quarrel was getting more and more intense, Uncle Liang shouted angrily, interrupting the quarrel.
Tang Yu was frustrated and frowned slightly, waving her hand. "Everyone, please be quiet. Just Now, I made the wrong decision."
Taking a deep breath of air, Tang Yu came beside Su Zimo and asked softly, "Fellow Daoist, what should we do next?"
"We can only continue on our way and find the Elixir Pool Sect ruins as soon as possible so that we can escape the threat of the demon beasts in the valley."
"Alright,"
Everyone continued forward at Tang Yu's command.
Before long, the fog ahead rumbled and an Azure Feathered Eagle flapped its wings a few thousand feet away. It sped over at an extremely fast speed and its eyes shone with a chilling killing intent!
An ancient remnant beast!
After sprinting through the valley for close to two hours, an ancient remnant beast finally appeared!
With the cover of the fog, the other Elixir Yang Sect cultivators could not see the Azure Feathered Eagle at all. However, Su Zimo had noticed it long ago with his sharp eyes.
"Condense!"
Su Zimo split out six flying swords and sped through the air, leaving behind streaks of sword qi that formed a hexagonal sword formation that shone brightly!
It was extremely difficult to kill an ancient remnant beast with just sword wielding alone.
In order to conserve spirit energy, Su Zimo did not use the Candlelight Sword Formation right away. Instead, he conjured a sword formation and pointed forward, causing it to tear through the air.
Many cultivators were confused when they saw Su Zimo attack all of a sudden.
However, not long after, the sorrowful cries of geese sounded from the depths of the fog ahead.
After a short while, the Sword Array flew back. Su Zimo's expression was normal, as if nothing had happened.
As the group ventured deeper into the valley, large groups of ancient living beings no longer appeared. However, ancient remnant species began to appear.
Most of the time, Su Zimo would have already killed the ancient remnant beasts before they could even get close.
As they continued to venture deeper, everyone was shocked but not in danger. However, their expressions became more and more serious.
The sky gradually darkened!
Everyone's field of vision narrowed again.
In the dark and empty valley, everyone's hearts became incomparably oppressed and uneasy as they smelled the thick smell of blood in the air.
The ruins of the Elixir Pool Sect had yet to be found.
This meant that they would have to travel through the night!
Not long after, night finally fell, and the surroundings were pitch-black.
Originally, they were able to see 30m away, yet now, this range had shrunk to 10m!
Unknowingly, the surroundings suddenly quieted down.
There were no chirps of birds, no roars of beasts, not even the screams and shouts of cultivators.
It was as if in an instant, all the demonic beasts had hidden themselves and disappeared without a trace!
It was like the calm before the storm.
It was eerily, eerily and terrifyingly silent!
Under Su Zimo's lead, the group continued forward and could even hear their own thumping hearts.
Everyone stepped on withered branches and leaves, letting out a rustling sound that was especially ear-piercing.
"W-What's going on?"
"Why are there no demonic beasts at all?"
Finally, someone could not withstand the pressure and panted slightly, asking with a trembling voice.
Tang Yu was a little afraid as well.
In this dark night, she could even smell the aura of death!
Right now, the only thing that could calm her down was the back view that was not broad but was tall like a mountain.
It was as though their hope would never be extinguished as long as that figure did not fall.
The darkness before them was filled with the unknown and danger.
However, Su Zimo's footsteps did not stop at all as he continued forward.
Suddenly, Su Zimo stopped in his tracks and his deep voice sounded. Although it was calm and composed, his words shocked everyone!
"Everyone, prepare for a fierce battle. The beast stampede is about to arrive!"
Beast stampede!
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat when they heard that.
Su Zimo narrowed his gaze and looked over with a cold glint in his eyes as he said slowly, "Furthermore … it's a beast stampede made up of ancient remnant beasts!"
"Ah!"
"What!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
A single ancient remnant beast was enough to give many cultivators a headache.
If it was a beast stampede made up of ancient remnant beasts that blanketed the skies and charged over, who in the ancient battlefield would be able to defend against it?
Which sect would be lucky enough to survive?
"Now, now, I, I, I go back. Is it too late?"
Finally, a cultivator could not withstand the pressure and asked with a quivering voice with a hint of sobbing.
A series of tremors could be felt from the ground, as though a massive army was galloping. Even if they could not see clearly, everyone could sense the ferocious aura coming from the front!
It was too late.
That person already knew the answer without Su Zimo's reply.
The situation that they were most worried about had finally arrived.
Furthermore, it was even scarier than they had imagined!
The ground quaked even more intensely!
Many cultivators clearly knew that there were countless remnant beasts charging over at this moment. However, the scariest thing was that they could not see anything at all under the shroud of the night fog!
Some cultivators could not take it any longer and collapsed to the ground in a slump as the ground quaked. Their minds broke down completely as they cried helplessly.
In the face of death, cultivators were no different from mortals – they were equally petty, powerless and had no dignity at all.
"What should we do?"
Tang Yu looked at Su Zimo and asked instinctively.
Su Zimo replied indifferently, "Of course, we have to welcome it."
Of course, we have to welcome it!
Although it was a few simple words, they revealed a fearless and condescending aura!
Everyone, including Tang Yu herself, was thinking about how to survive and escape. However, Su Zimo was thinking about going against the current!
Tang Yu's heart skipped a beat as she turned around and looked at Su Zimo's side profile.
Even though Su Zimo's side profile was a little blurry in the night, his eyes were still bright like two stars in the night sky that shone with a resplendent glow.
As though he sensed something, Su Zimo glanced sideways and asked with a faint smile, "Is there a way out?"
Tang Yu was stunned.
That's right, was there a way out?
When the beast stampede formed by the ancient remnant beasts surged over, they no longer had a way out.
Even if they turned around and fled now, they would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the ancient remnant beasts!
"Everyone, I know that all of you are in despair right now. However, this is a test – a test of life and death! There's only a single outcome for those who are fearful, cowardly and cowardly – death. "
Su Zimo's voice sounded with determination and strength. "Since we no longer have a way out, we can only charge forward with the sword in our hands …"
"Carve out a path of blood!"
