Yun Yao and Bai Wuchen fought the High Priest with all their might for hundreds of moves.
Fifteen minutes later, the three of them went from the entrance of the Demon Cave to the depths of the forest. The battlefield had shifted nearly a thousand meters away.
Wherever the three of them went, they left behind a thousand-meter-long ditch. The grass and trees nearby were all twisted into pieces.
Yun Yao and Bai Wuchen were the elite geniuses of the Sky Pillar Sect and had extraordinary strength.
However, the High Priest of the Demon Clan was a powerhouse that gave the elders a headache. How could the two of them be a match for him?
After hundreds of moves, Yun Yao and Bai Wuchen had suffered serious injuries.
Their bodies were covered with crisscrossing wounds. Blood gushed out and dyed their white robes red. It was a ghastly sight.
Not only that, the two of them had used up a lot of their True Essence. Their faces were very pale, and their combat power had weakened rapidly. They only had 50% of their strength left.
However, the High Priest was unscathed. His attacks were still violent and strange. It seemed that he had an endless supply of True Essence.
He stepped on the ground barefoot and waved the Black Snake Whip in his hands. He shot out black sword Qi that covered the sky and attacked Yun Yao and Bai Wuchen respectively.
The two of them were forced to retreat. They could only block with their swords.
After a series of clanking sounds, Yun Yao and Bai Wuchen were sent flying and fell into the forest.
The High Priest ignored Bai Wuchen and chased after Yun Yao with a sneer on his face.
"Hehehe … Chick, you must be Yun Yao, the chief disciple of the Sky Pillar Sect, right?
Hehe, the number one genius of the Tianchen Region and the future successor of the Sect Master! If I capture you, the Sky Pillar Sect will exchange some important treasures with me, right? "
As he spoke, he waved the Black Snake Whip again and shot out hundreds of black cold stars toward Yun Yao.
Although Yun Yao's injuries were very serious, she was surrounded by hundreds of cold stars and had nowhere to run.
However, she still refused to give up. She shouted angrily with a cold face, "You damn demon! Even if I die here, I will never let the Sect be threatened by you!"
With an angry roar, she used the last of her strength to slash out forty-nine sword rays.
"Ding ding dang dang dang!"
The sword aura collided with the many black cold stars, producing a crisp sound of collision. A violent and raging force burst forth, creating a hurricane in the forest.
However, she was already an arrow at the end of its flight and her attack power was limited. She could not block the High Priestess' attack at all.
The forty-nine sword auras were all destroyed, but more than half of the black cold stars were still flying towards her.
She was about to be turned into a sieve by the dense rain of black cold stars. She would either be seriously injured and unconscious, or be killed on the spot.
At this critical moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed from the side, followed by a voice full of worry.
"Eldest Senior Sister, be careful!"
Without a doubt, the person who rushed over to save her was Bai Wuchen.
Although Bai Wuchen was severely injured, he still used the Arcanum Treasure Pagoda.
Under his control, the Xuan Ji Pagoda grew to the height of a person. It shone with a dazzling golden light that enveloped him.
"Swoosh!"
With the protection of the Arcanum Treasure Pagoda, he rushed to Yun Yao in an instant and helped Yun Yao block dozens of black cold stars.
"Bam, bam, bam, bam!"
Dozens of black cold stars hit the Arcanum Treasure Pagoda, causing the golden light shield to tremble and ripple.
However, the golden light shield was not damaged. It actually blocked the High Priestess' attack.
"Eldest Senior Sister, let's go!"
In the next moment, Bai Wuchen rushed to Yun Yao's side. The Arcanum Treasure Pagoda's golden light shield also enveloped her.
Before the High Priestess could react, Bai Wuchen used a secret technique to control the Arcanum Treasure Pagoda and flew out of the forest.
The golden light shield protected him and Yun Yao as they flew high into the sky. Like a shooting star, they streaked across the sky and flew into the distance.
The Arcanum Treasure Pagoda's speed was extremely fast. In just a few breaths, it disappeared into the horizon.
The High Priestess did not chase after them. After all, he had not reached Ethereal Cultivation. He could not form wings with his Ethereal Force to fly in the sky.
He stood in the forest and looked up at the sky. When he saw the Arcanum Treasure Pagoda carrying Yun Yao and Bai Wuchen away, his eyes flashed with hatred.
"Damn it! I can't believe I let them escape! "
"The next time I see them, I'll definitely kill you!"
The High Priestess muttered in a cold voice. Then, she put away the Black Snake Whip and walked toward the entrance of the Demon Cave.
…
With the Arcanum Treasure Pagoda protecting Yun Yao and Bai Wuchen, they flew across the dark sky and landed on a mountain peak.
In the forest on the mountain peak, a gigantic Spirit Crane and a ferocious Silver Moon Wolf were crouching.
"Swoosh!"
In a flash of golden light, the two of them landed on the grassland on the mountain peak.
Bai Wuchen's face was pale. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Although the Arcanum Treasure Pagoda was a powerful treasure, it consumed a lot of his spiritual consciousness and Ethereal Force to control it.
He quickly put away the Arcanum Treasure Pagoda and leaned against a tree to catch his breath. He took out a pill and put it into his mouth to recover his strength.
Yun Yao also didn't care about treating the injuries on her body. After taking a healing pill, she looked around worriedly.
"Where's Junior Brother Tianxing? Why didn't he escape? "
Bai Wuchen was startled. He looked around, but he didn't see Ji Tianxing anywhere.
He frowned and tried to recall. Then, he said in a low voice, "I remember now. When we were fighting with the High Priestess, Ji Tianxing seemed to be fighting with the Demonic Woman."
"With his strength, there's no way he can defeat the Demonic Woman! Now, he must have been killed by the Demonic Woman. Even if he's not dead, he must have been captured! "
Upon hearing this, Yun Yao frowned. Her eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.
"No! We came here to carry out the mission together. We have to go back together. "
"We can't leave him behind. We have to go back and save him!"
As she spoke, Yun Yao picked up her sword and was about to go down the mountain to save Ji Tianxing.
Bai Wuchen pulled her back and said seriously, "Eldest Senior Sister, don't be rash!"
"You have personally experienced how powerful the High Priest of the Demon Race is. We used the power of the Arcanum Treasure Pagoda to escape from her clutches. "
"If you go back to save Ji Tianxing now, won't you be walking right into a trap?"
Seeing that Yun Yao was silent, he said in a low voice, "Eldest Senior Sister, you know how important this mission is to our sect. We have to put the mission first!"
"Ji Tianxing is most likely dead now. What's the point of you going back? Let's get out of here quickly and report back to the sect! "
As he said this, he thought to himself, 'Eldest Senior Sister and I are both elite geniuses in the sect. No matter who dies, it'll be a big loss to the sect.
Ji Tianxing is just an outer disciple. If he dies, so be it. He's not worth our lives to save! '
However, Yun Yao took out the crystal ball containing Ji Ling's soul from her jade ring and handed it to Bai Wuchen.
"Junior Brother Bai, take Ji Ling's soul and report back to the sect leader immediately. I'll go save Junior Brother Tianxing alone."
Seeing that Bai Wuchen was frowning and wanted to persuade her again, she continued, "Junior Brother Bai, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind!"
"Give me the Arcanum Treasure Pagoda. I'll go save him!"
Then, without waiting for Bai Wuchen's agreement, she snatched the pagoda from him and rushed to the entrance of the Devil's Cave.
Bai Wuchen watched her figure disappear into the forest. His face was very ugly, and his eyes flashed with hatred.
"Damn Ji Tianxing! What did you do to deserve Eldest Senior Sister sacrificing herself to save you? "
After stopping for a while, he put away the crystal ball and rode back to the Sky Pillar Sect on his Silvermoon Wolf.
