He said to Tian Zhen sinisterly, "Idiot Tian, did you already know that these dark creatures would ambush us? You didn't tell us on purpose. I didn't expect you to be so sinister and cunning. We're all cultivators in the same team, but you deliberately caused us to suffer such great losses. "
Xia Qing directly put a big hat on Tian Zhen's head, not giving him a chance to defend himself. Moreover, he had his reasons for saying this. Originally, it was the dark creatures that caused the losses in the team. However, with Xia Qing's words, the other cultivators would put the blame on Tian Zhen. Moreover, the Nine Palace Sect's cultivators were the least injured in the team.
Tian Zhen didn't expect Xia Qing to be so vicious. He couldn't admit that he knew that the dark creatures would attack them. He pretended to be angry and said, "Xia Qing, what are your intentions? Our Nine Palace Sect has been on guard all this time. That's why we suffered the least damage when the dark creatures attacked. Your Great Spirit Palace has let down your guard and now you're putting the blame on us. Do you want to fight? If so, go ahead. Our Nine Palace Sect is ready to accompany you anytime. "
The other cultivators also blushed and looked at the Nine Palace Sect's experts with shame. Just now, they did think that the Nine Palace Sect's experts deliberately didn't tell them, causing such a great loss. However, after hearing Tian Zhen's words, they were relieved. They had indeed let down their guard. This was their fault. How could they put the blame on the Nine Palace Sect?
"There's still the threat of the dark creatures. We should work together to get through this. How can we exhaust ourselves?" An expert tried to mediate.
The other experts chimed in as well. Seeing such a scene, Tian Zhen also heaved a sigh of relief. It was really dangerous just now. Xia Qing almost transferred the hatred to him. Fortunately, Tian Zhen was also an experienced schemer. That was why he managed to avoid this calamity by a hair's breadth. However, his face didn't show the slightest trace of joy.
He snorted coldly at everyone, expressing his dissatisfaction with their actions just now. The cultivators also sneered and looked embarrassed.
Xia Qing also snorted when he saw that his scheme was easily resolved by Tian Zhen. He didn't catch the fox and got himself into trouble. He was furious.
Countless dark creatures continuously attacked the cultivators. Although they were only at the pinnacle of Extreme Ancestor Realm, they were still able to do so. However, his battle prowess far exceeded that of a sixfold Extreme Ancestor, and was comparable to a sevenfold Extreme Ancestor. Moreover, there were simply too many of them.
Under the siege of so many dark creatures, the experts were also having a hard time. More and more experts were injured, making it harder and harder for them to resist the dark creatures.
Moreover, Lin Tian sensed that the attacks of these dark creatures contained traces of a combined array formation, which increased the power of these dark creatures' attacks by several levels compared to their scattered attacks.
How could these dark creatures possess such intelligence?! Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes was commanding these dark creatures? Lin Tian thought to himself.
When Lin Tian thought of this, he became even more vigilant. His mental strength was raised to the maximum as he constantly scanned his surroundings.
The spiritual power in his hands surged, and a terrifying fist wind shot out from Lin Tian's hands. One by one, the dark creatures near Lin Tian were smashed into dust. The experts of Nine Hall Sect looked at Lin Tian in surprise, and their hearts were also in turmoil. They originally wanted to take care of Lin Tian, which was why they invited Lin Tian to join them. However, Lin Tian's strength was simply too powerful.
He killed the dark creatures as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs. Even Tian Zhen couldn't do this. Lin Tian only had the strength of an eightfold Extreme Ancestor, but his battle prowess was actually stronger than Tian Zhen, who had the strength of a ninefold Extreme Ancestor.
With Lin Tian's impressive performance, the pressure on Nine Hall Sect to resist the dark creatures was much less than the other experts.
Suddenly, a huge pressure came, and the surrounding dark destructive power increased by a lot. The experts' breathing stagnated, and they hurriedly circulated their spiritual power to dissolve the pressure.
After circulating the spiritual energy in their bodies for a few cycles, the terrifying pressure was finally relieved.
Lin Tian's eyes were also fixed on a huge dark figure in the distance.
"The mastermind behind the scenes has finally appeared!" Lin Tian's lips curled into a smile. He had waited for so long, and finally, the mastermind couldn't hold back and surfaced.
Lin Tian sensed that this dark destructive creature should have the strength of a ninefold Extreme Ancestor. This strength wasn't enough to make Lin Tian retreat.
When Lin Tian saw this dark destructive creature, he was secretly shocked. It wasn't the strength of this dark destructive creature, but the intelligence of this dark destructive creature.
This trap should have been set by this dark destructive creature. It might have discovered Lin Tian and the others when they started to follow the monsters, but it forcefully led them into their hinterland before making its move.
Moreover, this dark destructive creature wasn't at ease, and it used countless dark creatures to test the strength of Lin Tian and the others. This also had the effect of exhausting the strength of Lin Tian and the others. Now that it felt certain that Lin Tian and the others would be defeated, it was ready to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"What a good plan!" Lin Tian praised. Most cultivators probably didn't have such a cunning mind!
"But you didn't expect that my strength isn't eightfold Extreme Ancestor." Lin Tian smiled faintly.
If it weren't for someone like Lin Tian, this team would've been eaten by this dark destructive creature. However, Lin Tian's combat strength was beyond the dark destructive creature's calculations.
Xia Qing's mind was in chaos when he saw this dark destructive creature. He wasn't thinking about the mission. Now, he was only thinking about how to save his own life.
A huge saber appeared in Xia Qing's hand. He shouted and poured all his spiritual power into the saber.
"Li Fire Saber!"
The saber in Xia Qing's hand suddenly exploded with a blue light, and a huge saber shadow appeared behind the cultivators. The huge saber shadow directly cut across the sky, blocking the cultivators' path of retreat.
Then, the Great Spirit Palace cultivators killed a bloody path through the dark creatures and fled into the distance.
"Xia Qing, you're despicable and shameless!"
"Xia Qing, if I can get out of here alive, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death."
.....
When the experts saw this scene, how could they not know what Xia Qing was thinking? He wanted them to cover the retreat and create an opportunity for the Great Spirit Palace cultivators to escape.
Tian Zhen saw that Xia Qing was actually so decisive and had sold them out completely. He also felt bitter in his heart. Even an experienced cultivator like him had fallen into Xia Qing's trap.
The other experts' faces were ashen as they gritted their teeth and cursed at Xia Qing. They blurted out all kinds of nasty words, cursing his relatives and his eighteen generations of ancestors.
