Although Nangong Lie and the others were fleeing for their lives and refused to relax for even a moment, their whereabouts were still firmly grasped by Sikong Tiancai and the others even though they had already escaped the Wood World and the forest that reaped their lives.
The Soul Race had stayed in this sealed land for a long time, and countless demonic beasts had become their soul slaves. In order to find a way to escape the sealed land, they had set up soul slaves in practically every place. They would immediately be aware of the slightest disturbance.
These soul slaves had made a great contribution during this chase. There would often be some soul slaves that would suddenly appear and fearlessly attack Nangong Lie's group. Although they did not cause any harm, they greatly delayed everyone's escape speed. Moreover, through the soul slaves, Ku Er's group could clearly sense the location of Nangong Lie's group.
"Soul Shackles!"
A deep voice rang out and dense Soul Force instantly spread out, enveloping a radius of five miles and forming a sturdy cage.
Nangong Lie's expression changed slightly when he heard the voice and sensed the descent of Soul Force. He couldn't help but stop running.
Everyone else also stopped when Nangong Lie stopped. Long Boming was injured and exhausted, so Nangong Lie was the strongest person in the group.
Nangong Lie's group was finally caught after being repeatedly delayed by the soul slaves. Adding on the fact that they had to carry some weaker or injured people, Nangong Lie's group was finally caught.
Turning his head around, Nangong Lie narrowed his eyes as he looked into the distance. Very quickly, a group of black figures appeared in his line of sight. As they rapidly approached, the black figures came to an abrupt halt. Without a doubt, it was Sikong Tiancai's group.
"Where's Lu Xuan?" Zhao Ying couldn't help but ask when she didn't see the disciple she was proud of.
Sikong Tiancai held the small section of the Tree of Life and gently patted it on his palm. He raised his brow and said, "Dead."
"I don't believe it!" Chen Xiaohan shouted.
Sikong Tiancai sneered, "What does it have to do with me whether you believe it or not? On the other hand, are you guys not going to run anymore? "
Zhao Ying glared at Sikong Tiancai and said word by word, "You will suffer the wrath of the Jiuhua Alliance!"
Sikong Tiancai couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Do you think I'm afraid? Since I'm going to annihilate all of you here, I have no intention of developing a peaceful relationship with the Jiuhua Alliance. My aunt died at Ye Wuheng's hands. It's time to settle this debt!"
Sikong Xin died at Ye Wuheng's hands. Sikong Xin was the younger sister of the current head of the Sikong Family, Sikong Qing. She was Sikong Tiancai's aunt. Because of this, the Jiuhua Alliance and the Sikong Family became mortal enemies. However, the two fifth-rank sects wouldn't go to war so easily. This dragged on for twenty years. In the end, the Sikong Family couldn't take it anymore and took this opportunity to launch an attack.
At Sikong Tiancai's command, the crowd spread out and surrounded Zhao Ying, Nangong Lie, and the others. They clearly intended to kill them all. The Jiuhua Alliance's allied forces seemed to have a lot of people, but many of them were severely injured. There were also a few returnee disciples who couldn't do anything. Only Nangong Lie was strong enough. These people weren't a match for the Sikong Family.
"Third brother, find a chance to escape. With your strength, it's not impossible. The Nangong Family needs you now. You must at least inform the head of the Sikong Family. Otherwise, the Nangong Family will be annihilated. "Nangong Yang transmitted his voice to Nangong Lie.
Nangong Lie felt bitter in his heart. "If Sikong Tiancai dares to bring people to attack us in this sealed area, I'm afraid the Sikong Family has already surrounded the Nangong Family. It doesn't matter if we inform them or not."
"If that's the case, then third brother, you must leave safely. As long as there are still people alive, the Nangong Family will be able to rise again." Nangong Yang's eyes flashed fiercely. "Even if it costs me my life, I will help you escape!"
It wasn't just the Nangong Clan, the other powers were also silently communicating with each other, making arrangements for their deaths. At this moment, they no longer had any thoughts of escaping, they only hoped that some of the stronger or more talented disciples would be able to leave safely.
"Madam, don't worry. Although I'm slightly injured, I can still fight. I'm grateful that the Alliance Leader thinks highly of me. I've also cultivated some of the Jiuhua Alliance's secret techniques. Later, I will do my best to fend off these bandits. Madam, you can leave in peace, "Long Boming said in a deep voice. A seventh-layer Grand Void Realm expert who was prepared to die, and one who had cultivated a top-notch secret technique, was definitely terrifying.
"I won't leave. When Xuan 'er was killed, I already lost my business. If it weren't for Bing' er, I wouldn't have lived for so many years," Zhao Ying said calmly. "It wasn't easy for me to find another Xuan 'er. Although he wasn't my child, he was better than my child. Now that he died for me, I must avenge him! If Wuhen still had feelings for me, I'm sure that my death here will make her want to avenge him more than if I leave alive. "
Long Boming was shocked. He had been in the Jiuhua Alliance for a long time, so he knew how Ye Wuhen felt about Zhao Ying. Although Ye Wuhen had never mentioned it, he knew that Zhao Ying had always been in Ye Wuhen's heart. Especially after what happened in the past, Ye Wuhen felt extremely guilty towards Zhao Ying. If Zhao Ying really died here, Ye Wuhen would definitely use all the forces of the Jiuhua Alliance to avenge Zhao Ying.
Long Boming was about to persuade her again, but Sikong Tiancai had already shouted, "Kill! Kill them all! "
"Kill!" The Jiuhua Alliance's allied forces were also bloodshot. This was a battle to the death!
He Ridi led the strong cultivators of the Myriad Shark Island and charged forward without a care for their own safety. The Myriad Shark Island was founded by pirates, and they relied on blood and loyalty. Even if they all died here, He Ridi would never back down. He believed that He Ridi would avenge him.
Nangong Yang also led the Nangong family to launch a fierce attack, but Nangong Lie, the strongest of the Nangong family, turned around and retreated.
Nangong Lie didn't want to run. His name had the word "Lie" in it, and his character was as fierce as his name. If he could, he would rather make the same choice as Lu Xuan, and fight Sikong Tiancai and the others alone.
But in the end, Nangong Yang convinced him. He didn't know what the Nangong family's situation was. Although the Nangong family had been keeping a low profile for years and had accumulated a lot of resources, they still didn't have much chance of winning against the Sikong family of the Holy Temple of Eight Directions. If the Nangong family was wiped out, he had to live and rebuild the Nangong family. For the greater good, he had to run.
According to Long Boming, Zhao Ying should have made the same choice as Nangong Lie. But she didn't run. She didn't have the same heavy responsibility as Nangong Lie, and if she ran, she wouldn't be of much help to the Jiuhua Alliance. Maybe it would just make Ye Wuhen happy. In that case, why not fight to her heart's content? Even if she died, she would have the face to see Lu Xuan in the afterlife and tell him that her master wasn't a coward.
Seeing Zhao Ying rush forward with a long sword in her hand, Long Boming had no choice but to follow. "Fine, since my lady is ready to die, I'll follow her and kill to my heart's content. I'll show the Sikong family the strength of the Jiuhua Alliance!"
"Stop him! Don't let him escape!" Sikong Tiancai pointed at Nangong Lie and shouted. Nangong Lie was a man with skills and strength. They couldn't let him go so easily. Weeds had to be cut by the roots. Not a single survivor of the Nangong family could be left alive.
The Sikong family and the Illusionary God Sect were well aware of Nangong Lie's strength. Now that he was determined to escape, it wouldn't be easy to stop him. In an instant, three experts rushed toward Nangong Lie. They were Dong Ruyi, Ku Er, and a sixth level Great Void Stage expert from the Sikong family.
A Seven-star Soul Emperor and two sixth level Great Void Stage experts immediately formed a triangular formation, blocking all of Nangong Lie's escape routes from Lu Xuan. It could be said that they viewed Nangong Lie with great importance.
Even so, Zuo Cen was still a little worried. Now that the Illusionary God Sect and the Sikong family were on the same boat, he naturally didn't want Nangong Lie to escape. Unfortunately, He Ridi had already rushed over. After all, He Ridi was also a seventh level Great Void Stage expert. If Zuo Cen didn't stop him, the Illusionary God Sect would suffer great losses. Zuo Cen had no choice but to target He Ridi.
As for Long Boming, it was two experts from the Soul Tribe and Sikong Tiancai.
Although they had left the forest where they could borrow strength, the Tree of Life was still in Sikong Tiancai's hands. He was different from Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan learned a variety of things, but Sikong Tiancai cultivated a wood-based cultivation method. Even if he left the forest, as long as he had the Tree of Life in his hands, his strength would still be greatly enhanced. It was just like how Nangong Lie could unleash more power than Lu Xuan once the Li Fire Essence was in his hands.
Although the two experts from the Soul Tribe couldn't be compared to Ku Er, they were still Six-star Soul Emperors. Facing the attacks of the two Six-star Soul Emperors, the injured Long Boming felt like his hands were tied. He couldn't even protect himself, let alone protect Zhao Ying.
"You're Lu Xuan's master?" Sikong Tiancai smirked coldly as he glared at Zhao Ying. Sikong Tiancai had always been pissed off at having Lu Xuan slip away right under his nose, and he had always wanted to vent his frustrations. He suddenly felt that Zhao Ying, who was standing before him, seemed like a pretty good target to vent his frustrations on.
Judging from Lu Xuan's appearance, he seemed to be a loyal fool. If he knew that Sikong Tiancai killed his master, he would probably go crazy. That might be more satisfying than killing him with his own hands. Hahaha!
"Bing 'er was injured by you, and Lu Xuan died by your hands. They are both my disciples. As their master, I will avenge them." Zhao Ying calmly said, "I'm no match for you, but I believe that if I die at your hands, there will definitely be someone who will avenge me. In that case, even Bing 'er and Lu Xuan's deaths will be avenged."
Zhao Ying knew very well that it would be difficult for her to avenge Lu Xuan with her own strength, but Ye Wuheng had the strength to do so. Even if the Sikong family went to war with the Jiuhua Alliance, Ye Wuheng would kill Sikong Tiancai first.
