The rumbling sound was enough to make one's heart tremble as it cleansed the world.
The dark and cold light that was shot out tore through the void like a spider web, stirring up the atmosphere of heaven and earth. Wherever the arrow passed, people would be sent flying.
Boom! The ground of the Spirit Mountain cracked, and the mountainous Yao-Sealing Tower moved thousands of meters away. The golden glow on the tower dimmed, and cracks appeared in the center of the tower. A hole appeared in the crack. It was pierced by the God-Killing Arrow.
Inside the tower, the illusion of the vast starry sky disappeared, and so did the shooting stars. The Yao-Sealing Tower revealed its true internal structure.
The rotating sword light spun in the belly of the huge tower. Lord White glanced coldly at the hole in the tower, and then disappeared in a flash, surrounded by the swirling sword light.
Outside, many people stared at the hole in the Yao-Sealing Tower.
"Block it!" Jin Luo roared.
Blue Eye immediately led a group of monk soldiers to fight their way out. Just as they reached the entrance of the cave, they saw flashing sword lights rushing out. The majestic sword lights drowned the crowd that was rushing over, bringing with it a wave of chaotic screams. Amid the swift and fierce sword lights, blood splattered everywhere.
The flying swords were like clouds. As soon as they came out of the hole, they flew up.
Suddenly, a person came out of the sword cloud. Blue-eye, who was almost a sieve, fell to the ground.
The sword cloud hovered in the air and suddenly dispersed. An extremely handsome man landed lightly on the top of the Yao-Sealing Tower with a woman on his shoulder in his arms. He looked at the chaotic battle with cold eyes and then looked at the sleeping woman on his shoulder with tenderness.
Wu Zhang, Fire Lord, and Yin Erlang looked up at the top of the tower with ecstasy in their eyes.
The Palace Masters of the Ten Elements Palace all looked over with relief and surprise. Li Hua, who had blood on the corner of her mouth, paid special attention to Master White's every move toward the woman in his arms. She bit her lip, her heart full of bitterness.
Jin Luo, who was held up by the Five Elements Formation, looked at the top of the tower in horror.
Jin Man, who had grabbed the God-Killing Arrow, looked at the man on the top of the tower, the man who looked down on the world with a complicated expression.
Yan Xiu asked in a hoarse voice, "That's Master White and Lord Demon?"
"Yes!" Jin Man sighed and nodded slightly.
"Magic Breaker Bow, kill!" Jin Luo roared.
At least a hundred thousand monk soldiers who were fighting in the surroundings found the time to take out their Spell Breaking Bows. Amidst a series of banging noises, streams of light shot out like rain.
Above the Suppressing Demon Tower, the sword cloud rapidly expanded and rotated, protecting the people at the top of the tower. In the violent roar, transparent flying swords were constantly blown into invisible flames, but the Meteor Arrows couldn't penetrate the core under the layers of powerful resistance.
The Meteor Arrows were sent flying back, while the monk soldiers who caught them screamed in pain.
The invisible flames hidden on the meteor arrows returned and suddenly burned on their bodies. They couldn't get rid of the burning fire.
In an instant, almost all of the more than a hundred thousand monk soldiers who were shooting were hit. Cries of distress could be heard everywhere, it was a ghastly sight.
Over a hundred thousand people were crippled in the blink of an eye. Yan Xiu sucked in a breath of cold air.
The sword cloud that was facing Jin Luo suddenly opened up, revealing Lord White who was standing at the top of the tower. Lord White's calm voice rang out, "Get out of the way!"
The Five Elements Palace Master, who had trapped the giant Buddha shadow with the Five Elements Grand Formation, quickly withdrew his hand and dodged.
Jin Luo, who met Lord White's gaze, trembled with fear. Now that he was free, he immediately turned around and ran without another word.
The sword cloud gathered at the top of the pagoda instantly flew out like a flying dragon and chased after them. The monk soldiers who tried to stop them were killed by the sword radiance that shot out from the sword cloud. There was no one who could stop them. The main reason was that they were too dense and too nimble. One could imagine how intelligent they were to be able to control so many flying swords at the same time.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was about to catch up to him, the massive Buddha silhouette shot out a palm strike.
The sword cloud suddenly collapsed into a formless sea of flames. A red and blue luster appeared, splitting into Yin and Yang. In an instant, the huge Buddha shadow that was protecting Jinluo was refined.
Holding onto the Demon Lord with one arm, Lord White flashed through the sea of fire. He casually gathered fire into a sword, catching Jin Luo off guard. With a single slash, he severed Jin Luo's head. The speed of his hand was so fast that Jin Luo, who was entangled in the sea of fire, didn't even have time to react.
Jin Luo only knew that in the sea of fire, the other party had suddenly appeared beside him and brushed past him before he lost consciousness.
"Let's go!" Lord White's calm voice echoed through the heavens and earth. The sea of fire instantly surged and disappeared into his body. Wielding his sword with one hand, he carried the woman who was lying on his shoulder and around his neck and soared into the sky, never looking back.
He had killed Jin Luo in a single move. Who else on Mount Numinous would dare to challenge him? No one dared to block his path.
Wu Chang, True Sovereign Fire, and Yin Erlang laughed heartily. Everyone from the Ten Elements Palace quickly called out to their own disciples and quickly took to the skies to give chase.
The group quickly disappeared into the sky. As for the rest of the battle, Lord White and the others didn't seem to be interested in it at all. They didn't even look back.
Yan Xiu and Jin Man exchanged glances. They had basically come here to save this Lord White. Yet, after being saved, he didn't even bother to say a word of courtesy and just left like that.
Yan Xiu quickly took out the Star Bell and reported the situation to Miao Yi.
The battle was still ongoing, but with the support of Long Xin's army, the situation was already becoming one-sided.
Seeing that the situation was turning for the worse, many of the monk soldiers began to flee.
The battle was too chaotic, and there was no way to stop everyone from fleeing. At least a few million people had already escaped …
Silently waiting in the Astral Wilderness, Miao Yi used his Heaven's Eye to observe the movements of the enemy forces on both sides. When he received Yan Xiu's message and found out that Lord White had already escaped with the Demon Lord, he felt an indescribable mix of emotions.
Truth be told, he had always been hesitant about whether or not to save Lord White. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but some of the things that Lord White had done made him apprehensive. He wasn't sure if he was overthinking things. Putting aside his own thoughts, even the two smart people he had come into contact with, Xiahou Tuo and Yang Qing, had their doubts about some of Lord White's actions.
From the very beginning, saving Lord White wasn't the main goal of his plan to attack Mount Numinous. Instead, he wanted to lure the forces of the Green Tribe and the Buddha Tribe back so that it would be easier for him to make a move on Lord Guang. Even if he saved Lord White, it was only in passing.
Miao Yi sensed that Lord White seemed to have noticed his reluctance as well. Thus, he sent the forces of the Ten Elements Palace to meet up with Yan Xiu and the others.
However, what truly made him decide to make a move was the Sorcerer's sudden message from the Star Bell.
The Sorcerer's warning seemed to have a deeper meaning.
The secret of a small world might not be a big deal, but the safety of the people living there was very real. The Sorcerer, whom he hadn't contacted for so many years, suddenly sent him a message. Miao Yi vaguely sensed that there was another meaning behind the Sorcerer's message. If he didn't do it, then he would have to bear the consequences!
Miao Yi guessed that he would meet with Lord White soon. When they met again, he didn't know if they would be friends or foes. He didn't know if he had saved a great threat!
Miao Yi's Third Eye stared at the dragon chariot in the depths of the starry sky. With his enhanced vision, he could directly see through the window and into the dragon chariot. Miao Yi guessed that the other two should know about this as well.
Inside the dragon chariot, there was only silence. The Green Tribe and the Buddha Tribe indeed knew about this. They knew that Jin Luo was killed by Lord White in a single move. This undoubtedly meant that Lord White's strength hadn't been depleted at all after being trapped in the Demon Sealing Pagoda for so many years.
The two of them were expressionless. No one could tell what they were feeling at the moment.
Even Shangguan Qing, Defeating Armies, and the others were confused, let alone the two of them.
Even though Defeating Armies's words were reasonable, when he learned that Lord White had escaped, the pressure he felt was still lingering. The words that Lord White had said all those years ago still rang clearly in his ears. He said that he would come back to settle the score with them sooner or later!
Inside the small room, Zhan Ruyi, who was eavesdropping on the conversation outside, had a thoughtful look on her face. She was a little curious. She had heard too many legends about Lord White. She didn't know what kind of person he was to make these people so afraid of him. She could clearly feel that the atmosphere outside had become oppressive as soon as the news of Lord White's escape spread.
"There's no need to guard the Eight Directions Temple anymore. Tell them to find a way to meet up here." Lord Buddha instructed Jin Chi, then said to Lord Buddha, "I'll go back and make the arrangements."
"Alright!" Lord Qing nodded. Lord Buddha led the others back to his dragon chariot.
Now that there were no outsiders, Lord Qing swept his gaze across the others and said, "Defeating Armies, stay here for a moment."
Shangguan Qing and the others knew what he meant, and took the initiative to leave.
Defeating Armies looked at him, wondering what he had to say.
"Come with me." Lord Qing called out and led Defeating Armies into the inner room. Logically speaking, this was not a place other men could enter.
Silver Frost and White Snow, who were behind the bead curtain, were also a little confused. They didn't know why Lord Qing had brought Defeating Armies in. It was so inappropriate.
"Ruyi." Lord Qing called out, gesturing for Zhan Ruyi to stand up. He pointed at Defeating Armies and said, "Although I'm dissatisfied with Defeating Armies, Defeating Armies is the person I trust the most. Do you understand?"
The others didn't know why he suddenly said this. Defeating Armies's lips twitched.
Lord Qing then pointed at Zhan Ruyi and said to Defeating Armies, "I know you're dissatisfied with her, but for no other reason than to give me face, my own flesh and blood." He pointed at Zhan Ruyi's bulging abdomen. "Today, I entrust her to you!" He casually took out a jade archive and handed it to Defeating Armies. "This is a star chart that leads to an unknown galaxy. There's a habitable planet there. It's a backup plan that I've prepared for myself in my early years. I've already killed all those who knew about it. It's very safe there. Take Ruyi there and hide for now! "
The moment he said this, everyone in the room was moved.
Defeating Armies, who received the jade archive with both hands, was even more shocked. "Your Majesty, the outcome of the battle hasn't been decided yet. Why are you so depressed?"
Lord Qing waved his hand and said, "It's not that I'm depressed. It's better to be prepared. If things go well, then so be it. If things go badly … I'll entrust my beloved concubine and flesh and blood to you. I've left sufficient cultivation resources there, enough for you to use for the rest of your lives. If I'm not around, help me take good care of them. Of course, if everything goes well, I'll naturally bring you back. "
Zhan Ruyi lowered his head slightly. Silver Frost and White Snow, on the other hand, were bewildered. Was the situation so bad that His Majesty had to make arrangements for his funeral?
