"Right now, we can't even take care of ourselves. We don't even have anyone who could escape. How could anyone come to help us? We are extremely fortunate to be able to obtain your assistance, "Yao Feng said without hesitation.
"If that's the case, then it's fate." Shen Luo's expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank.
As he spoke, he approached Bai Xiaoyun. Just as he was about to tell him about this, the heavy sound of the city gate closing came from behind him. All the people and cultivators who fled from Jianye had entered Sword Gate Pass.
Shen Luo knew that something was wrong. He subconsciously wanted to inform Bai Xiaoyun through telepathy.
However, after seeing that Bai Xiaoyun had entered the city, he did not notice anything amiss, and he began to hesitate. No matter who was hiding in the Sword Gate Pass, to be able to remain undetected in front of Bai Xiaoyun, a late-stage Grand Ascension cultivator, he was definitely not an ordinary cultivator.
If he rashly used telepathy, he might alert the enemy, so he had to be cautious.
After a moment of hesitation, he walked forward and called out to Bai Xiaoyun.
Bai Xiaoyun cast an inquiring look at him, and Yao Feng also looked over without batting an eyelid.
"Sword Gate Pass is sealed by a sword array, and Pavilion Lord Yao is guarding it. It's a safe place. Why don't we bring Xie Yuxin over?" Shen Luo asked Bai Xiaoyun without any uneasiness.
Back then, when Xie Yuxin betrayed the Bai Family, Bai Xiaoyun was greatly affected. It was after that incident that he went to the Life Transformation Temple. Shen Luo believed that if this incident reminded him that there was something strange about this place, he would definitely be able to tell.
Sure enough, Bai Xiaoyun only hesitated for a moment before he said, "Now that you mention it, I have the same idea."
"Xie Yuxin, do you have any friends or family who haven't arrived yet?" Yao Feng immediately came up and asked.
"Yes, we have some friends outside the city. They should be here later." Shen Luo nodded at Yao Feng.
"Since they are your friends, the more the better. The people of Sword Pavilion and Sword Gate Pass welcome them with open arms." Yao Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
At this moment, Lu Yong also heard their conversation and came over. He asked curiously, "Senior, aren't all of our people here? Why are there still others?"
When Shen Luo heard this, a strand of nameless flames of rage instantly sprang up from the bottom of his heart, and he cursed in his heart. You're an idiot who's unable to accomplish anything, yet capable of spoiling everything.
Bai Xiaoyun frowned when he saw this.
Although he didn't know what strange things Shen Luo had discovered, he believed that Shen Luo wouldn't shoot without thinking. Thus, he became even more cautious.
"Haha, looks like there are really smart people amongst all of you. Then there's no need for me to continue pretending. In any case, all of you are already turtles in a jar …" At this moment, Yao Feng suddenly laughed and spoke slowly.
When his voice rang out, his figure had already floated up into the air and slowly arrived above everyone's heads.
Seeing this, Shen Luo took a few steps back to put some distance between them.
Bai Xiaoyun did not say a word. He stood on the spot with his hands behind his back. On his wrist was a string of six golden Buddhist beads the size of cherries. They were respectively inscribed with the six Buddhist mantras of "Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Mi, Hum". Layers of golden ripples were rippling on the beads.
When the people of Jianye City saw this, they did not understand what was going on. They looked at each other and did not know what to do.
"Everyone, quickly retreat to the city gate!"
Shen Luo roared, and it was quite loud in the chaotic crowd.
However, other than the people of the Shen Clan who were at the back of the group and immediately moved to the city gate, only a portion of the Bai Clan followed and retreated. The rest of them were still standing on the spot in confusion.
"Today, after entering the Sword Gate Pass, no one can leave." At this moment, Yao Feng, who was hovering in the air, roared angrily again.
As soon as he finished speaking, red and black smoke surged out of his seven orifices, including his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. In an instant, his body was completely covered. When he reappeared, his appearance had changed drastically.
His entire body was as black as ink, and his entire body was covered in a large cloak. There was also a huge bamboo hat on his head, and his appearance was almost impossible to see.
The moment Shen Luo saw his appearance clearly, a hint of shock could not help but flash in his eyes. He cried out involuntarily,
He exclaimed, "Yao Feng … Yao Feng!"
As soon as this name was uttered, the cultivators of Jianye City were shocked. The rest of the people were also terrified. This name had brought them too much fear for hundreds of years.
"How is this possible? Bai Xiaotian clearly perished with it … "Shen Luo could not imagine that Yao Feng was still alive after Bai Xiaotian's self-destruction.
"It's Yao Feng, it's Yao Feng …"
The people who had witnessed the battle between Yao Feng and Bai Xiaotian completely recalled the tragic scene when Jianye City was breached. They instantly fell into a great panic.
At the same time, black smoke flowed out of the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose of the people who had gathered on both sides of the passageway. In an instant, it surrounded their bodies.
Their skin quickly shriveled, their eye sockets sunk, and their cheekbones protruded. It was as if all the water in their bodies had been sucked out in a few breaths, and they became dried corpses.
As soon as the dried corpses were formed, they exuded a strong murderous aura. They muttered indistinct words as they pounced toward the refugees of Jianye City.
Seeing this, the people of Jianye City were instantly scared out of their wits, and their faces turned pale.
"It's a Fiendish Demon. Help, run …" Someone shouted first, and immediately, hundreds of people rushed backward in an attempt to escape the city.
"Don't panic. All cultivators guard the surroundings and escort the people back to the city gate." Shen Luo focused his gaze and used the Yellow Court Scripture to circulate his Qi. He shouted loudly.
His voice was loud and clear, and it was frightening. It actually calmed the hearts of many people who were panicking.
Those cultivators reacted and moved forward to the two sides of the crowd, forming two discontinuous human walls. They protected all the people in the center and moved toward the city gate.
"Haha, panic, fear, the more frightened you are, the better …"
Yao Feng's body floated in the air, and he spread his arms. Wisps of black aura gathered around him and flowed into his loose robes. When the black aura flowed into him, he couldn't help but look up at the sky, as if he was intoxicated by the spring breeze.
Shen Luo couldn't tell the level of his cultivation, but the demonic aura surrounding him was enough to make him wary.
"Did my brother die in the hands of this bastard?" Bai Xiaoyun stared at Yao Feng and asked word by word.
"Bai Xiaotian sacrificed himself to kill him, but for some reason, he didn't succeed," Shen Luo said in a low voice with a serious expression.
"You are the younger brother of that bastard Bai Xiaotian from Jianye City. No wonder I felt a similar bloodline and aura on you. The two brothers of the same sect are both useless. You can both become lonely souls under my palm," Yao Feng sneered and said sarcastically.
