"Damn it!" Chi Yao roared, breaking through a defensive formation. Several spells struck her, but left no trace.
She transformed into her human form, her eyes filled with rage. Wherever she looked, poisonous fog billowed and spells disturbed the air.
Some cultivators, caught off guard, lost their footing and crashed to the ground, heavily injured.
After all, falling from a height of ten thousand feet, even a cultivator with a strong physique couldn't withstand such a fall. Cultivators are, after all, just cultivators; their bodies, though tempered by magic power and impervious to swords and spears, are still flesh. It's just that the magic power protects them, reducing some of the damage.
Chi Yao transformed her hands into twin-headed snakes, retaliating against the besieging cultivators. Her movements were extremely fast, difficult for ordinary cultivators to follow. However, the cultivators of the Supreme Divinity Palace were experienced, forming formations in groups of three or two to protect each other, so Chi Yao didn't have it so easy.
Because she had been severely injured earlier, cracks were still visible on Chi Yao's body. At this moment, her strength had greatly diminished, and even the Lamp Lighting cultivators, whom she usually didn't care about, could trap her.
"If I hadn't been severely injured by that person, would you lowly things dare to stop me?" Chi Yao roared, her movements becoming even more swift. She felt three auras approaching behind her, and their strength was considerable. If she continued to be delayed by these cultivators, more and more cultivators would come to besiege her, and by then, even if she had more tricks up her sleeve, it would be useless.
Moreover, that terrifying cultivator… Chi Yao felt a sense of panic when she thought of what had happened before.
At that time, she sensed that her painstakingly managed nest was being invaded, so she rushed back. In the cave, she saw the two sneaking thieves and was about to send them to their doom when golden light flashed and a huge divine figure appeared.
"She has something to attend to," Su Mu said.
Bai Jing transformed into her human form, covered in wounds. She touched the sword mark on her face and looked at Jiang Wen with a hint of grievance: "This servant has suffered all kinds of grievances for you, my lord."
After speaking, she left without looking back, leaving Bai Jing to barely parry the cultivators' attacks.
"Naturally, it's to deal with these monsters," Li Yunshang said with a happy expression, reaching out to rub A Meng's head. "It's been many days since we last met, A Meng, you've grown taller."
Its white fur was stained with blood, and its limbs were injured by various flying swords and spells. The demon body gradually felt weak, and before it could resist for long, it saw several ropes binding it.
"Alright then, since Senior Brother Su has spoken, I'll give you face, fellow Daoist," Lü Shiming said with a smile. "Don't blame me for being suspicious, disciples of the Discipline Hall can't survive to this day without a bit of suspicion."
"This demon is named Bai Jing, and she is a spy we planted beside Chi Yao," Li Yunshang landed and stood beside Jiang Wen, explaining. A Meng's eyes lit up and she pounced into Li Yunshang's arms.
"What are you doing?! You actually want to save this demon!" A Meng said dissatisfied. "If you can't give a reason, don't blame my Supreme Divinity Palace for not showing you any mercy."
"Who!" A Meng said, annoyed.
"…Alright, this servant knows how to get to Yunze, but if you get lost in Yunze, don't blame this servant," Bai Jing said with a charming smile to Jiang Wen after a moment of silence.
"I believe you," Jiang Wen said.
"That's right, Bai Jing roughly knows where the snake demon is going. Letting her lead us into Yunze will allow us to find the snake demon's whereabouts."
"I can understand," Jiang Wen nodded in response, then came to Bai Jing and released her bonds.
Her demon power was suppressed, making it difficult to use even a fraction of her demon arts. She was forcibly torn into two pieces by that divine being, and the pain was indescribable.
"Let's leave it at that, I'll watch over everything."
Determined not to delay any longer, Chi Yao scolded Bai Jing, who was standing to the side: "You stupid fox, aren't you going to protect me! Are you just going to stand there fighting with people, ignoring your master?"
After she said this, the surrounding disciples of the Supreme Divinity Palace all looked at Jiang Wen. Their gazes were full of curiosity, making Jiang Wen feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. He quickly explained: "Cough, what nonsense are you talking about? I just didn't expect Chi Yao to escape so decisively, without showing you any affection."
Hearing this, Bai Jing felt anger rise in her chest. But thinking of the plan Jiang Wen had arranged, she endured her anger and came to Chi Yao's side.
Chi Yao forcibly broke through two formations, then looked at Bai Jing, who was being besieged behind her, and instructed: "Bitch, delay them longer. If you still want to return to your homeland in the future, don't cause me any trouble. When I activate the Burning Heaven Formation and refine this Su City, I will naturally let you live."
"Stop, this demon must not be killed," Jiang Wen arrived in time. He stood beside Bai Jing and looked at A Meng. "Jiang Wen, the master of the Quiet Void Temple, greets you, fellow Daoist."
"What a demoness, she's going to be captured now," A Meng, wearing a bamboo hat, smiled at Bai Jing, holding a short sword, ready to step forward and seal the demon fox's vital points. But just as she was about to strike, a flying sword knocked her away.
"Is she trustworthy?" Lü Shiming asked again.
"Yes," Bai Jing lowered her head, using the remaining strength she had. She took the lead and rushed forward, while Chi Yao stood behind her, looking down with contempt. When she saw that many cultivators were besieging Bai Jing, she found a breakthrough with fewer people and broke through.
"It doesn't matter, we still have a backup plan," Li Yunshang stood up at the right time and said.
"Bai Jing and I are close friends, and we have made an oath. If you don't trust her, then hand her over to me. If there is any mistake, I, Jiang Wen, am willing to guarantee it with my life," Jiang Wen said solemnly.
"Sister Yun! Why are you here!" A Meng shouted happily.
"Hurry up and follow me to break the formation," Chi Yao said coldly.
If she didn't have so many life-saving methods, she would probably be dead there now.
"Where is Miss Lu?"
"Backup plan?" Lü Shiming looked at Bai Jing.
"Affection? Are you talking about affection between demons?" Bai Jing sneered. "If Chi Yao wasn't so strong, she would have been eaten by other monsters long ago. Talking about affection with demons is too ridiculous."
"Just lead the way, leave the rest to us," Jiang Wen exchanged glances with the others, then responded to Bai Jing. He took out a few healing pills and let Bai Jing take them.
"That's because I…" A Meng was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lü Shiming.
"Now is not the time for chatting, that snake demon has already run into the Yunze Mountain," Lü Shiming looked at Li Yunshang, with no emotion in his eyes. He just nodded to her, then looked at Jiang Wen and Su Mu.
"I can also vouch for her, you can't not believe me, right?" Li Yunshang stood in front to protect him. "Palace Master Jiang has saved my life many times, I trust his character."
"Yunze is very dangerous, too many people will easily cause trouble," Su Mu looked at Lü Shiming. "Lü Shiming, A Meng and I will go, the other disciples of the Discipline Hall will go to Su City to maintain order. If you find any remaining demons, don't show any mercy."
"Yes!" The disciples responded, helping the injured disciples and flying towards Su City.
The remaining people looked at each other and said nothing more. They each used their escape techniques and flew towards the vast sea of clouds.
