Among the twenty or so cultivators under the control of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, there was a young lady with an impressive figure. Despite her slightly unkempt appearance, one would find it hard to look away from her. She was a familiar face from the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, the leader of the Bewitching Devil Faction, Hu Yaoyao!
Back then, when Hu Yaoyao was brought to the Terpsichore Guild headquarters, she had received the heritage of the predecessors, and in just a few months, her cultivation had already reached Saint 9-dan pinnacle, just a step away from Introspective Convalescence realm.
With such strength, he would have been able to rule over an entire region on the Master Teacher Continent. However, in the Master Teacher Continent, he did not stand out at all. The surrounding cold air caused him to shiver uncontrollably, and his face turned a little pale. While he was not injured, he seemed to be a little dispirited.
The cultivation of those around her was not too high either. Just the dozen of them were at Saint 9-dan, and the rest were at Introspective Convalescence realm. As such, they were completely helpless before the three Sempiternal realm Otherworldly Demons.
Zhang Xuan wasn't in a hurry even though he saw a familiar face. He sealed the space around him and quietly followed behind them.
Three Sempiternal realm primary stage Otherworldly Demon Kings were nothing to him. He could kill them easily, but he was curious to see what the other party was up to.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a smooth ice rink appeared in front of him.
"Move faster!"
Then, he saw a few more groups of people being escorted over. In total, there were more than a hundred humans from various professions.
In the middle of the ice rink, there was a circular altar, surrounded by all kinds of array flags.
An Otherworldly Demon dressed in black armor was standing by the side, instructing three of his tribesmen to inscribe formation runes.
"Bring these people here!"
After he was done, the black-armored Otherworldly Demon waved his hand.
Everyone was brought over and lined up in a circle around the altar. Only now did Zhang Xuan realize that everyone's meridians were connected by a thin thread, sealing all of their cultivation bases.
"Could this be a sacrifice?"
Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
He had seen this altar several times in the past. The Kings of the Qingtian royal family had used it as an offering to the Spirit God to obtain some sort of unique power. Back then, they had used an artifact to do so, but this time, they had captured these master teachers and other occupations. Could it be that they were intending to use them as an offering?
But … what was the purpose of the sacrifice?
Could it be that he was looking for the exit of this world of ice and snow?
"If it's just the exit, there's no need to go to such lengths!" Zhang Xuan frowned.
After traversing the forest world and desert world, Zhang Xuan had gained some experience in finding the exit. As long as he could find the core, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to find the exit.
There was no need to pay the price of so many lives!
The main reason why the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had entered the Temple of Confucius was to obtain the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn. If they were to massacre the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe before they had even found the location of the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, it would be unwise for them to do so.
"Let's save him first …"
Since he had seen it, there was no way he would allow such a thing to happen. Not to mention, Hu Yaoyao was one of them.
Scanning his surroundings, he noted that there were thirteen Sempiternal realm Otherworldly Demons, twenty Intuitive Impulse realm Otherworldly Demons, and less than fifty Otherworldly Demons in total. There was no need for him to fear these Otherworldly Demons, and he should be able to kill them easily. The strongest Otherworldly Demon, the black-armored Otherworldly Demon, was only at Sempiternal realm advanced stage, a far cry from reaching consummation.
"The thin thread that is sealing everyone's cultivation should be a Great Sage artifact. If we were to attack it recklessly and trigger it, there's a good chance that Hu Yaoyao and the others will be killed on the spot!"
Zhang Xuan said with a deep frown.
Even without using the five saint beasts, he would be able to slay these Otherworldly Demons easily with his fighting prowess. However, if he were to make a mistake, not only would he be unable to save the others, he might even put the others in danger. He couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake.
"It's going to take a lot of effort to break through the spatial barrier, so we can't afford to be careless. We have to make sure that everything is in place!"
The black-armored Otherworldly Demon instructed.
The Otherworldly Demons swiftly moved one treasure after another over and placed them on the altar.
Zhang Xuan took a look around and saw rare spirit stones, the blood of saint beasts, unique inscriptions, and all kinds of spirit pills … In any case, there were many treasures here, almost a tenth of his wealth.
"Break through the spatial barrier? Could it be that they are able to enter the Temple of Confucius directly? "
The black-armored Otherworldly Demon was speaking in the language of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, so Zhang Xuan was able to understand it.
Even for the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, these resources were not something that they could afford to waste. If they could find the exit, why would they choose to use the altar instead? Their goal was definitely not as simple as entering the next world!
"Let's save them first!"
Zhang Xuan knew that he would have to fight the Otherworldly Demons if he wanted to learn more about the altar, but before that, he would have to save the others first.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan altered his appearance and walked behind an icy boulder. He discreetly removed the spatial seal around him, and with a flick of his wrist, he took out an ordinary Saint pinnacle sword.
It would be impossible for him to save the others, and it would be difficult for him to learn more about the secrets of the altar. Thus, the best course of action would be to capture them first, just like Hu Yaoyao and the others had done. After which, he would make use of this opportunity to decipher their spatial seals.
"Begin!"
Seeing that the black-armored Otherworldly Demon was setting up the altar with his back facing Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan knew that this was his opportunity. Thus, he immediately dashed forward.
His body morphed into a streak of lightning, and with his sword in hand, he thrust it toward the back of the black-armored Otherworldly Demon.
At the same time, Zhang Xuan drove his Aureate Body realm cultivation to its limits, making him look like a Buddha.
While this assault might have seemed impressive, Zhang Xuan had only suppressed his strength to that of an ordinary Aureate Body realm cultivator, and he did not use the Spatial Quintessence and Time Quintessence. Despite his incredible speed, it was still nothing in the eyes of a Sempiternal realm cultivator!
"There's still one more who managed to escape! Aureate Body realm pinnacle … "
Noticing Zhang Xuan's presence, the black-armored Otherworldly Demon harrumphed coldly. Without even turning around, he flicked his finger backward.
Ding!
A surge of aura collided with the tip of Zhang Xuan's sword, and the sword qi that Zhang Xuan had executed felt as if it had struck a steel plate. It met with an immense resistance, and it was unable to advance any further.
"Break!"
With a savage look on his face, Zhang Xuan bellowed furiously as he swung his sword downward.
Tzzzzz!
Dozens of streaks of sword qi converged together in the blink of an eye, forming a straight line that struck the black-armored Otherworldly Demon's sword qi.
Huala!
With the black-armored Otherworldly Demon's sword qi dissipated, Zhang Xuan continued dashing forward.
"Hmm? You do have some tricks up your sleeves! "
Seeing that the black-armored Otherworldly Demon's sword qi had actually been deflected by the black-armored Otherworldly Demon, he quickly turned around and pinched the tip of the sword between his fingers.
"To be able to escape from the eyes of so many people and launch a sneak attack on me, you're indeed not weak. However, since you're here, I'll make sure that you don't die here!"
With a light chuckle, the black-armored Otherworldly Demon thrust his palm downward.
Hula!
As if falling from the sky, the space around the altar began to ripple intensely.
