In the starry sky, thousands of monks and the hundreds of Diabolism survivors led by Dan Qing clashed fiercely.
Naturally, there were more than these hundreds of Diabolism survivors in the outside world, but they wouldn't gather together normally. They were scattered all over the place, and there were only these hundreds of people following Dan Qing in this starry sky.
Dan Qing, with a pair of huge hammers in his hands, took the lead and rushed into the crowd of monks. He waved his hammers and smashed the monks until they vomited blood. No one could stop him.
Dan Qing was in high spirits, and just as he was laughing loudly, someone beside him suddenly shouted, "Great General, the enemy's reinforcements are here!"
After waving his hammers and smashing the monks who couldn't escape in time, Dan Qing quickly looked around and saw tens of thousands of guards rushing towards him.
Although most of Qing Zhu's personal guards had gathered, there were still a few who were too far away to catch up with the troops. Compared to the huge base of the personal guards, there were tens of thousands of these soldiers who were unable to catch up with the troops. Since they couldn't catch up to the troops in time, the troops from the Buddha Realm met with resistance, and these scattered guards were naturally put to good use.
The guards rushed over, pulled out their formation, and took out their Dharma Breaking Bows. The general shouted for the monks who were fighting fiercely to retreat.
"Hold them back!" Dan Qing, who saw the clues, immediately shouted. Once these monks were allowed to retreat, the hundreds of them would become live targets. However, looking at his command, it seemed like he wanted to find a chance to rush into the guards and fight the tens of thousands of enemies with just a few hundred people.
It wasn't without reason that Dan Qing was so arrogant. Not to mention his own cultivation level, just the cultivation level of the people around him could be considered experts. At least, they were much stronger than the enemies. Moreover, the enemies didn't have too many people, so they still had a chance of winning if they fought.
Under his command, the monks who tried to escape to other places were killed. Only the people who tried to escape to the guards were spared, and they took the opportunity to approach under cover.
Seeing that Dan Qing and the others were mixed in with the monks who were fighting and retreating, the general of the guards could tell that Dan Qing and the others had extraordinary strength. Once they fought with the enemies, they would definitely be in big trouble. Although the monks were allies, as the general, he had to think for his brothers sometimes.
The commander gritted his teeth and decisively waved his hand to give the order, "Aim at the scoundrel and shoot!"
In an instant, streaks of light fell like rain. It didn't matter if there were any of their own people in the enemy camp, and it didn't matter if there were any accidental injuries.
"Ah …"
Screams could be heard from the chaotic crowd.
Zhang Tianxiao swiftly swung her shield to block, but a wave of light knocked the shield out of her hand. Zhang Tianxiao coughed up a mouthful of blood from the impact, and one of her thighs, which wasn't protected by her shield, was pierced through. Just as she watched the rain of arrows flying towards her, a figure flashed in front of her. It was Lan Hou, who was wielding his shield and standing in front of her.
The shield that Lan Hou had thrown at Zhang Tianxiao was knocked away as well, but it had helped Zhang Tianxiao block the fatal blow. However, the fact that he had thrown away the shield in his hand meant that he had no more defense in front of him. * Pu pu * * Blood spurted out from Lan Hou's body.
"Retreat!" Dan Qing madly roared and led the remaining people to retreat. They had no choice but to retreat, as the other side was too ruthless and would even kill their own people. Even if they tried to defend, it would be useless.
Zhang Tianxiao grabbed Lan Hou's arm and hurriedly dragged Lan Hou away before the second wave of arrows arrived.
Fortunately, the city guards knew that their cultivation levels were not as high as the enemy's and that they wouldn't be able to catch up even if they wanted to. Seeing that the enemy had retreated, they couldn't continue attacking the monks.
Zhang Tianxiao, who was dragging Lan Hou along, was flustered. Blood was gushing out of several holes on Lan Hou's body, and he was also coughing up blood. Zhang Tianxiao took out some Glorious Star immortal herbs and stuffed them into Lan Hou's mouth.
When they finally found a desolate planet to settle down on, Lan Hou, who was lying on the ground, grabbed Zhang Tianxiao's wrist and shook his head with blood flowing out of his mouth and nose, indicating that she didn't need to help him anymore.
Zhang Tianxiao, whose leg was also bleeding, was furious. She tugged at Lan Hou's clothes and said angrily, "Who asked you to save me?!"
Lan Hou used all his strength to say, "As long as you're alright …"
"I didn't ask you to save me, and I don't need you to save me …" Zhang Tianxiao pushed and shoved him like a madman.
"I … have returned … what I owe you …" Lan Hou, who was being shaken, managed to utter these words. Then, his head slowly tilted to one side, and there was no more movement.
Zhang Tianxiao quickly performed her arts to check on his body. Then, with a loud smack, she slapped Lan Hou's face. "You want to return the lives of my entire family with just one life? You're not allowed to die! "Then, she slapped him a few more times.
Lan Hou didn't react at all. Zhang Tianxiao, who was squatting at the side, felt a buzzing sound in her head. Her face turned pale, and she fell to the side. She stared at Lan Hou's face in a daze, and the scene of the two bowing to heaven and earth appeared in her mind …
Dan Qing walked over quickly and bent down to check on Lan Hou. He was also having a headache. These two were Yun Zhiqiu's subordinates. Yun Zhiqiu had asked him to take care of them. Now that one of them had died, it would be hard to explain to Yun Zhiqiu …
The battle on Spirited Mountain had ended, and a group of people were searching everywhere. Long Xin, Yan Xiu, and the Divine Lord of Six Paths met up at the Great Thunderclap Temple. After a discussion, they decided to give up on the time-consuming search. The main battle army needed people right now, and they were prepared to return as soon as possible.
They reported this idea to the higher-ups, and they were in agreement. As long as they could win on the main battle, the small group of survivors that had escaped wouldn't change anything. There was no need to waste time here. They would quickly clean up the battlefield, collect the spoils of war, and then return as soon as possible.
Everyone walked out of the main hall, and they saw Yun Feiyang rushing over. With a dejected expression, he reported to Yun Aotian, "Grandfather, Auntie … Auntie's husband died in battle!"
He wasn't much better off. Not only was he covered in blood, but he was also wounded. The disciples and disciples of the Buddhist Lord were not to be trifled with. Their cultivation techniques were no weaker than the Unparalleled Demonic Art.
Everyone looked at each other. Anyone from the Small World knew that Yun Zhiqiu doted on his younger sister, Yun Ruoshuang.
Yun Aotian pursed his lips and didn't say a word. So many people had died, and he couldn't afford to be special in front of everyone.
Everyone else, including Yan Xiu, wanted to go take a look. Yan Xiu had to report the situation. Even though he didn't know how many people had died in battle, the Empress' sister was no ordinary person, after all. It wouldn't be good for him to keep asking questions without knowing anything. To the others, Yun Zhiqiu's current status was far from ordinary. Just a single word from him could affect the interests of many people.
Long Xin didn't know much about the situation, but judging by the looks of everyone else, he knew that those who had died in battle were no ordinary people. Naturally, he didn't say anything. However, he secretly transmitted his voice to Yan Xiu to ask about it. When he heard that it was Yun Zhiqiu's most beloved sister, his expression turned solemn. As the Governor of the Right, he naturally knew how much influence Yun Zhiqiu had on Miao Yi. He quickly expressed that he wanted to go take a look, if not for anything else.
On the spacious field, many of the injured were being treated. Countless people lay on the ground, some with heavy injuries, some with light injuries.
When Miao Yi and Yun Feiyang found Yun Ruoshuang, many of the Yun family members were already gathered here. Chu Yuan's corpse lay quietly on the ground. Yun Ruoshuang didn't look sad or upset. She was kneeling beside Chu Yuan, staring at him with a blank expression. Her daughter, Chu Yunwushuang, was crying her heart out over her father's corpse.
Yun Xia, Yun Juan, and Yun Xiang were comforting Chu Yunwushuang, while the others stayed by Yun Ruoshuang's side. Yun Xia shook her head at Yun Aotian and the others, indicating that there was no need to say anything else. They had already said what they needed to say.
After a moment of silence, Yan Xiu walked out of the crowd. As he looked around, his gaze settled on Gu Sanzheng, Miao Yi's old friend, standing tall with his sword, his expression indifferent!
A group of people sat in front of Gu Sanzheng. Yan Xiu looked around and saw someone crying. It seemed to be Wu Menglan, so he walked over to take a look.
When they sensed Yan Xiu's arrival, the group stood up and bowed. "Milord!"
Yan Xiu's gaze fell on Wu Menglan, who was still kneeling on the ground, as well as the dead Zhao Fei. His gaze then fell on a headless female corpse. Seeing Tan Lao sitting at the side in a daze, Yan Xiu could roughly guess that the headless female corpse was Ye Xin.
Yan Xiu then looked at the others who had stood up. Gu Sanzheng's expression was cold, and he didn't seem to be hurt at all. He had vaguely heard about the love affair between Ye Xin, Tan Lao, and Gu Sanzheng. However, it had been too long. If he didn't see them, he probably wouldn't be able to recall it.
His gaze swept across Situ Wuwei and Tao Qingli, then finally fell on Luo Ping and Wen Fang. Wen Fang's complexion was deathly pale. She had lost an arm, and she was being supported by Luo Ping. Yan Xiu furrowed his brows as he recalled Wen Fang's other identity. Wen Fang had jokingly acknowledged Miao Yi as her older brother.
Seeing that these people were gathered together, they must have had dealings with each other in Purgatory. Yan Xiu could imagine that Miao Yi was probably the reason why these people were gathered together. However, Miao Yi had always been busy with important matters. He had always been in a life-and-death struggle with the other heroes, and he hadn't seen these people for a long time. Normally, it would be hard for him to associate them with him. Furthermore, Miao Yi had been concealing his identity for a long time, so there weren't many people from the Lesser Realm who could follow him around. From a certain perspective, Miao Yi didn't want to implicate these people. Or rather, he didn't want to give outsiders a chance to take advantage of him.
Back in the day, most of the people he had brought with him in the Sea of Constellations had been killed. Furthermore, these people probably didn't know Miao Yi's identity in the Celestial Court. Even if they tried to find out, it was a serious matter. However, Yan Xiu knew that Miao Yi had asked Yang Qing to take care of these people. For example, he wouldn't mistreat them in terms of cultivation resources.
Yan Xiu was overcome with emotion as he watched these people being either injured or dead. He decided to do something for these people. When he returned to Purgatory and reported about Yun Ruoshuang, he would mention these people to Miao Yi. As for whether Miao Yi would meet them or not, that was Miao Yi's business. It wasn't up to him to decide. However, Yan Xiu reckoned that Miao Yi no longer had a need to conceal his identity and would most likely meet them. This was all Yan Xiu could do to help.
"I will report this to the Sage King when I return!" Yan Xiu said in a hoarse and sinister voice. He then turned around and left, not mentioning that the Sage King was the Commanding Heavenly King of the Southern Army, who was also Niu Youde, who was currently vying with Qing and Buddha for supremacy. Purgatory had always kept this information under wraps, so Yan Xiu didn't know whether they knew or not. He rarely said anything when it wasn't up to him to make decisions. Besides, the war had yet to come to an end. They still didn't know what the final outcome would be, so there was no need for him to guarantee anything.
The others watched him leave. They all knew the difference between their current statuses and Yan Xiu's. They could tell just by looking at the kind of people Yan Xiu was interacting with now. Each and every one of them treated Yan Xiu with respect. Now, even Wen Fang was too embarrassed to mention anything about Big Brother.
