"Is there no one else in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion? Why did they send you all to die? "
Lu Chen said calmly, "You are just a projection. It is enough to kill you."
The Blood Demon General's scarlet eyes revealed a cold light. He said indifferently, "Originally, I was a little worried about what kind of people the Heavenly Saber Pavilion would send. It looks like I was worrying for nothing. Coincidentally, the ceremony requires some nourishment. Since you all delivered yourselves to me, I will not stand on ceremony."
"Boom!"
Right after the Blood Demon General spoke, a red light soared into the sky from his body. A horrifying killing Qi surged towards the crowd like a flood.
His eyes were filled with a scene of purgatory. Countless aggrieved spirits cried out miserably. A horrifying illusion appeared before the crowd. In this strange space, it was hard to distinguish what was real from what was fake.
"Huang Dang!" Everyone drew their sabers at the same time. An orderly sound reverberated in the air. With a 'shua' sound, the illusion instantly vanished.
In the forest, after Yun Kexin killed the Wolf King, the remaining demonic wolves were defeated. Under the attacks of the crowd, they fled in all directions.
Zhang Lie and Mu Heng started to clean up the battlefield, extracting the Demonic Cores of the demonic wolves. Xiao Chen continued to be on guard, preventing any more Demons from launching sneak attacks.
"Boom!"
Just at this moment, a scarlet light soared into the sky under the bright red moon in the distant sky.
A horrifying aura spread out from afar. Zhang Lie and Mu Heng, who were cleaning up the battlefield, felt a chill and could not help but tremble.
Mu Heng stopped what he was doing and looked at the scarlet light under the full moon. He muttered, "What is this? What a horrifying aura. Who is it?"
Actually, everyone had a guess in their hearts. However, they did not dare to confirm it. They could not help but look at Yun Kexin.
When Yun Kexin saw that scarlet light, a grave expression appeared on her calm face.
When she felt everyone's gaze, she turned around and said slowly, "Your mission is already complete. If you have a Divine Flame Talisman, you may leave now. If you do not, I can give you one."
When Zhang Lie and Mu Heng heard this, they were stunned. Doubt filled their faces; they did not understand what was going on. "Senior Sister Yun, didn't you say we were going to meet up with the other teams through the forest?"
"Indeed, we are almost at our destination. Why are we not leaving?"
Yun Kexin's unexpected words caught the two of them off guard. They could not understand what was going on. The plan was to walk out of the forest, but why was the mission completed before they even got out?
When Xiao Chen heard Yun Kexin suddenly say that the mission was completed, he was somewhat stunned. However, when he looked at the top of the mountain, he saw the red light soaring into the sky and the aura filling the entire space.
After a while, Xiao Chen understood the crux of the matter. He looked at the sky with a calm face and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Xiao Chen slowly got up and said to Mu Heng and Zhang Lie, "Go out. After all, each of you has collected ten Demon Cores. You have already completed half of the task. A hundred Medial Grade Spirit Stones is guaranteed. There is also a large number of Demonic Cores. You have already gained quite a lot."
After a pause, Xiao Chen continued, "There is an even more important harvest. After such an intense battle, Zhang Lie, after you go out and cultivate bitterly, your cultivation should be able to reach peak Inferior Grade Martial Saint. That should not be a problem."
Xiao Chen looked at Mu Heng and said, "There is also Mu Heng. Although your cultivation realm will not increase by leaps and bounds, your strength will probably increase even more than Zhang Lie's."
Zhang Lie thought for a long time. At this moment, he more or less understood the crux of the matter. He revealed a complicated expression and said, "Ye Chen, that is not what I meant. Gao Xiang and the others …"
Xiao Chen's calm gaze suddenly gave off a sharp light. He said, "Experiential training is filled with danger in the first place. Don't think about it anymore. Let's go!"
Mu Heng looked deeply at the calm Yun Kexin and did not say anything. He took out the Divine Flame Talisman from his bosom. After a while, his body slowly turned into a ball of fiery light and disappeared from this space.
Zhang Lie was shocked by the sudden look in Xiao Chen's eyes. He did not say anything more and took out the Divine Flame Talisman as well. Then, he turned into a ball of fiery light and slowly disappeared from this space.
After the two of them left, the atmosphere between Xiao Chen and Yun Kexin slowly turned strange. Neither of them spoke; the forest was extremely quiet.
"Rumble …!"
Suddenly, the entire earth began to shake. No, it wasn't the entire earth that was shaking, it was the entire space that was shaking.
Trees collapsed one after another. Countless Demonic Beasts ran around in panic. The entire forest instantly turned chaotic.
However, the atmosphere between the two of them was still incredibly quiet. The surrounding chaos did not affect the two of them at all.
After a long time, Yun Kexin sighed gently and said, "Are you still not leaving? If you do not have a Divine Flame Talisman, I can give you one. "
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "There is no need. Can I ask you a few questions?"
Yun Kexin's calm face did not change at all. She nodded and said, "I knew you would blame me. I also know what you want to ask. I can tell you the answer.
That's right, from the very start, the Elders' Assembly did not intend for you people to complete the mission. The ones who completed the mission were Lu Chen's group.
The main mission of our ten teams was to attract the Blood Demon General's attention, so that he would send out all the Blood Demons from the palace. This would allow Lu Chen and the others to use the Aura Concealing Talisman to sneak into the palace. Then, they would be able to focus on fighting the Blood Demon General. "
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "I guessed that. You misunderstood me. I do not blame you. I just wanted to ask you, how confident are Lu Chen and the others in killing the Blood Demon General?"
Based on what Yun Kexin said, Xiao Chen had already guessed most of it. To put it simply, the Elders' Assembly wanted to use them as cannon fodder, to attract the firepower and create an opportunity for Lu Chen and the others.
Zhang Lie could not understand why the Elders' Assembly did not make it clear in advance. Instead, they sent the others to die for no reason. That was why he was dissatisfied when he found out the answer.
However, Xiao Chen did not dwell on this problem. It was a very simple logic. If the Elders' Assembly had told them in advance, not even half of them would have participated in the mission.
Out of a hundred people, less than half would participate in the mission. No one would be stupid enough to volunteer to be cannon fodder.
Similarly, this matter could not be blamed on Yun Kexin. At the very least, she was not the one who initiated the mission. As a team leader, she had already done her duty.
Every time there was a battle, Yun Kexin would charge to the frontlines. When someone got injured, she would distribute Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills to everyone. She did her best to ensure everyone's safety.
That was why Xiao Chen used his strong Mental Energy to calm Zhang Lie down when his emotions were fluctuating.
The strong preyed on the weak. Without sufficient strength, one was just a chess piece in the eyes of those in power. If one was strong enough to become a core disciple, they would naturally give one a Divine Flame Talisman to ensure one's safety.
Xiao Chen did not blame anyone, nor did he resent anyone. This matter only allowed him to see the nature of this world more clearly.
Without sufficient strength, every step he took was filled with danger. So he had to become stronger, stronger, and stronger. Only then would he be able to grasp his own fate in his own hands.
Right now, Xiao Chen was only concerned about whether Lu Chen and the others could kill the Blood Demon General. If they could kill him easily, then there would be no need for him to worry about the mission that Liu Tianyu gave him. He could just leave this place.
If there was not a high chance of success, he would still make a trip. At the very least, he had to use the Heaven-Splitting Saber Technique that Liu Tianyu had hidden in the Lunar Shadow Saber before leaving.
When Yun Kexin saw Xiao Chen being so calm, she was somewhat surprised. She muttered to herself for a while before saying, "There is a sixty percent chance of success. Among Lu Chen's group, there are seven people who have grasped the Blood Demon Body Disintegration Technique. They can burn their lifeforce and instantly increase their combat prowess.
"These seven people did not intend to leave this place alive in the first place. They are the deathsworn soldiers of the Divine Saber Camp. In a situation where there are no losses, they can increase their combat prowess by up to ten times."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was startled. Liu Ruyue was among the ten. If Liu Ruyue was among the seven, he could not just sit by and do nothing.
"Sorry, I have to go first." The silver warship flew out from Xiao Chen's right eye. Xiao Chen quickly leaped onto it. Before he left, he seemed to have thought of something. He said, "Actually, you don't have to blame yourself. You have already done very well."
Right after he spoke, Xiao Chen piloted the silver warship and sped through the air towards the palace at the top of the cliff. It was like lightning, disappearing in a flash.
Yun Kexin watched as Xiao Chen left. A faint smile appeared on her delicate face. She shook the Roaming Dragon Saber in her hand and muttered to herself, "Interesting. What is so urgent that he is even abandoning his Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon?"
--- In the forest, Murong Chong looked at the red light soaring into the sky. He slowly stopped and thought for a long time.
"Senior Brother Murong, why did you stop?" one of the team members asked, feeling confused.
Murong Chong did not reply. He turned around and walked over to a severely injured core disciple. Then, he slowly placed the Divine Flame Talisman on his chest.
After that, under the astonished gazes of the others, that person slowly turned into a clump of flames and disappeared from this space.
After doing all this, Murong Chong took out another Divine Flame Talisman. He said, "You all stay here. There is no need to advance any further. I only have one Divine Flame Talisman left. I'll leave it to you to make your own arrangements."
Murong Chong gently pushed off the ground. After he finished speaking, he soared into the sky. His body moved through the air, creating intense sonic booms. He quickly flew towards the palace in front.
"Senior Brother Murong, don't go!" When the group of people saw Murong Chong leave behind a Divine Flame Talisman and leave, they could not help but cry out in panic.
For them to be able to travel so far with only three deaths, it could be said that it was all because of Murong Chong's ability. When Murong Chong left, everyone immediately panicked.
The same scene happened in the other teams in the forest. When the core disciples who were leading the teams saw the red light soaring into the sky, they all stopped.
However, what these people did was very different from what Murong Chong and Yun Kexin did. They directly used their Divine Flame Talismans and left this space, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded core disciples.
A strong wind blew past Xiao Chen's ears. His hair fluttered in the wind and his clothes fluttered continuously.
