Boom!
Six hours later, their hiding place was exposed for the second time.
The outer wall of the ice cave was blown away by Xue Kuang's palm. Both sides finally met each other. Of course, they had nothing to say. One side sneered, the other side was silent. In this game of cat and mouse, the Devil World had the absolute advantage. The cultivators' only hope was that Yan Li could rush back in time with the Fire Leeches. Unfortunately, this hope was shattered.
The shadow of the Shadow Hall was well hidden, but it was also part of the encirclement.
Liumu Bingjian observed for a long time and sighed. He knew that it was impossible to break out of the encirclement with the remaining forces. However, one had to do their best and leave it to fate. If one did not try, there would be no such thing as a miracle in the world. This was Yan Li's style. She smiled secretly when she thought of this.
"I still believe that the person whose fate is intertwined with yours will bring us out of this hopeless situation." She looked at Ji Zhiyuan and sent him a silent message with her eyes.
Ji Zhiyuan smiled faintly. He was neither happy nor sad. Her usual indifference was gone because the knot in her heart was untied. Even in the face of a hopeless situation, she still showed extraordinary calmness. Because there was nothing to be afraid of. The road ahead was smooth. It was like looking back at the end.
"Kill!" Liang Youyu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he let out a roar.
Those who could still move followed suit. As if it was the last feast, they all used their best moves. Killing one was not a loss, killing two was a gain.
"Haha!" Seeing this, Barren Bite laughed loudly. The snowstorm stopped, and a dark space appeared, enveloping all the cultivators. "If I capture all of you and bring you to the arena, it will definitely be full. I'm really looking forward to it."
"Immortal State!"
The cultivators' hearts sank. Only then did they remember that the first prince of the Ghost King Palace was ranked much higher than Xue Kuang on the Heavenly Star List. He was a super expert who had been famous for many years.
The only one who could fight against him was Liumu Bingjian, but he was suppressed by the demonic miasma and had less than 10% of his cultivation. He was no match for him.
Xue Kuang looked at the crowd of cultivators who could not move but were still glaring at him angrily. He laughed coldly and said, "Are you still not satisfied? If you don't have the self-awareness of being a captive, there's no point in keeping you. Or are you still hoping for a miracle? I know a little worm slipped out to look for Fire Leeches. They are your only hope to escape the Devil World. "
Everyone was shocked. Xue Kuang knew about this. Either there was a spy among them, or Yan Li had already met him, and he was probably dead now.
Seeing the change in their expressions, Xue Kuang was even more pleased. He smiled slyly and said, "Even though I did not kill Yan Li, I have already sent a letter back to the Blood-clothed Tower. Do you think that he would be able to take the Fire Leech from my Senior Sister and escape unscathed by himself?"
Everyone's heart immediately sank to the bottom.
Liang Youyu looked over at Flowing Wood Bingjian and saw that the latter also had a look of disbelief on his face. He dejectedly withdrew his True Qi, thinking that since the other side had gone through so much trouble, it was unlikely that they would kill all of them. At this moment, lying dormant was the most important thing, so he gave Wen Ziqing and the others a meaningful look.
The demonic miasma became the best shackles.
After leaving the Frozen Mountains, the few who could fight lost their strength because of the sudden increase of the demonic miasma.
Barren Bite originally wanted to capture them and bring them back to Fengdu City and send them to the gladiator arena for the Ghost Clan to admire. Unfortunately, Xue Kuang insisted on bringing them directly back to Moon Shadow City to avoid any unforeseen events. This was something that Li Hongzhuang had repeatedly instructed him to do. Having failed once, he had become more cautious. After all, Fengdu City was not far from the Red Rock Canyon. If the cultivators were to launch a full-scale attack, it would be hard to say if the Ghost Clan would be able to withstand it.
On the same night that the Nine Great Cultivators were captured, tens of thousands of li away, a major event occurred in White Emperor City that shook the Three Realms. This event made Li Hongzhuang's plan meaningless. Even if they captured several times as many prisoners, it would not shake the reputation and status of the Nine Great Cultivators.
It was like this. The Heavenly Fire Hall led by Liu Xingfeng had secretly created a divine cannon. This was a weapon of mass destruction developed by the Divine Disciple of Heavenly Works Yu Shenji. It was said that one cannon was equivalent to the all-out attack of an expert of the Divine Domain. If the legend was true, a city like Red Rock would need only one cannon to blast it into ruins.
The one who had stolen the divine cannon was the Chief Sword God of Heavenly Sword Peak, Feng Jiu.
After receiving an attack from the Demon Lord, he had fled back to the Immortal World.
It was said that a special material was required to create a divine cannon. It was difficult to find a second one, so that divine cannon was unique.
The Demon Lord was furious. It was not an exaggeration to say that this was the catalyst for the third war between the righteous and demonic factions.
… …
Not even Yan Li knew of the massive upheaval taking place outside.
Under You Qi's directions, he rode his sword through the underground river to return to the Icebound Mountains as quickly as possible. But the two shattered holes in the ice cruelly told him that he had come too late.
The messy footprints on the ground made it impossible for You Qi to say any words of comfort.
However, Yan Li was not a person who needed comfort. He immediately made his decision. "After them!"
"Are you crazy?" You Qi asked in astonishment. "Putting aside the Xue Kuang, that Wildbite is a monster. With your strength alone, how can you rescue them? In my view, you should first return to the Immortal World and report the situation to the elders of your sect before making any other plans. "
"Do you think that if I escape to the Immortal World alone," Yan Li coldly said, "what good end will come to me?"
You Qi shook her head. "That's better than throwing away your life. Misunderstandings can always be resolved. Or you can go back and find more helpers before coming back to rescue them. It's much better than acting on impulse. "
"Go. Now that you're here, you should be able to escape the Demon World by yourself." Yan Li turned to leave.
You Qi frowned. Just as she was about to speak, Yan Li suddenly stopped in his tracks. A person had suddenly appeared in front of them.
Yan Li did not have much of an impression of this person. He only knew that he was one of the first seats of the Dao Court's Seven Big Dipper Palaces. He was a man of few words, and his eyes were as fierce as a wolf's. At this moment, he was staring at him like a wolf.
"Just you alone?" he asked.
"Where are the fire leeches?" Xiao Pojun asked.
Yan Li thought for a moment, then tossed a bottle to Xiao Pojun.
Xiao Pojun couldn't wait to swallow it. His face quickly turned red. He stared at Yan Li and sized him up. "I didn't expect you to really find the tears of the fire leeches."
"Where are they?" Yan Li asked.
"They were captured," Xiao Pojun said.
"Why are you unscathed?" Yan Li asked.
Xiao Pojun laughed coldly. "Since you're willing to give me the tears of the fire leeches, it means that you don't really suspect me. In order to repay your trust, I'll reluctantly answer your question. I had a falling out with them and left on my own. I didn't think that I would be able to escape. "
"You can choose to rescue them or go back to get reinforcements," Yan Li said.
"You're much better than those cowards," Xiao Pojun laughed murderously. "I can sense Xu Guang's location. Let's go, I'll take you there!"
