266: Fairy Liu, it's our turn now.
Roar!!!
Above the sky, the White Tiger’s fierce power erupted, and a golden red light burst forth!
Visibly, the light spewed by the White Tiger Vicious Beast swept across, and in an instant, countless green blood-lights sprayed out from the bloody dense forest, as if it were a red maple forest, sprouting new buds!
This seemingly vibrant color was actually paved by the last vestiges of countless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters!
"Go!"
Wan Tianchao looked at a vacuum in the distance, a trail of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
However, he didn't care at all. Even if he paid a considerable price for it, using the trump card given to him by the Mansion Lord, as long as he was alive, everything else was secondary.
Wan Tianchao led the retreat, followed by several Prodigies.
This terrifying scene made several Prodigies tremble in their hearts.
As soon as they retreated, the Saint of Thunder Abyss City and a few Prodigies were unlucky. They no longer had any hope of escaping and were directly swallowed by the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters surging from other directions.
The second layer of the Secret Realm was the territory of the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters!
Cultivators killed Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters to seize the True Spirit Dao Rhyme on them, while Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters could also kill Cultivators to seize the vitality on them, extending their own existence.
The great power of the Azure Dragon Clan, who left this Secret Realm back then, originally intended to leave an Opportunity for future Cultivators. Perhaps even he didn't know that all things in the world were fair!
What they gave, they would naturally receive; everything was relative!
...Shen Tianxing and the others didn't go around looking for the traces of those Saints.
Instead, they returned directly to Azure Nether Valley, setting a trap here!
In Azure Nether Valley, a large number of Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters had once again gathered, all of which he had summoned back.
Seeing Qi Yun and the others retreat in defeat, Shen Tianxing knew that the course of events would definitely follow the direction he had designed, and there was no need to pay attention to anything.
Apart from the seven Incarnations gathering information outside, he himself was waiting in full battle array in Azure Nether Valley.
Several days passed in a flash.
Liu Xianyun and Shen Tianxing suddenly opened their eyes from their meditation!
"They're here!"
"They're here!"
In the distant sky, figures were numerous, and the impassioned roars could be heard clearly even from thousands of miles away!
Looking out, Cultivators flashed across the sky like shooting stars, heading towards Azure Nether Valley.
"My Lord, have the Saints of those Inner Sea great powers arrived?"
Shen Tianxing nodded and smiled, "After waiting so many days, they've finally arrived. But it's pretty much as I expected; their trump cards are probably almost all used up now."
A time difference could reveal many problems!
If those Saints of the Inner Sea only thought about escaping, they would certainly reach Azure Nether Valley very quickly.
Otherwise, Shen Tianxing wouldn't have returned here so early to wait.
Over three to five days, these Saints obviously chose to continue their secret actions, which would only attract more Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters!
After a few days, to escape those desperate situations alive, they had no other choice but to play all their trump cards, save their lives, and flee!
"No way, those Saints wouldn't be that foolish, would they? Don't they suspect that there's something wrong here?"
Li Tongshen couldn't understand. The sudden large-scale appearance of Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters was clearly not right. Couldn't those Saints figure it out?
A careful thought would reveal the problem. In this way, as long as they chose to escape, they would surely be able to keep a few of their trump cards.
Shen Tianxing, however, shook his head and smiled, "You think that way because you already know there's something wrong!"
"The second layer of the Secret Realm has existed for so many years. Have you ever heard of anyone being able to command these Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters? No, right?"
"Even if you told them, these arrogant Saints wouldn't believe it!"
Having dealt with these habitually arrogant and conceited Saints many times, without exception, their limited vision and perspective restricted their imagination!
They habitually judged everything according to the records of their predecessors, and it would be a wonder if problems didn't arise!
Li Tongshen nodded slightly, unsure if he understood or not.
However, he couldn't refute what Shen Tianxing said.
"Alright, you two hide yourselves well. Fairy Liu, it's our turn next!"
Shen Tianxing instructed, stepped out from the peak, and headed towards Azure Nether Valley.
Liu Xianyun took a sip from her wine jar and instructed the two, "Do as he says; he won't be wrong."
The two left one after another, Li Tongshen and Liu Yueying's hearts swelled with excitement, they were looking forward to everything that would happen next... Outside Azure Nether Valley, hundreds of Cultivators gathered.
Qi Yun, Wan Tianchao, Zhu Zixi, Zhao Hao, Li Muyun, White Crane, and all the other Saints and Prodigies had arrived.
The rest of the Cultivators were mostly the top Cultivators of the Outer Sea!
The Young Lord of one city, the Saints of the Five Sects, including the Saints of the Two Islands, had all converged here by coincidence.
"Brother Qi Yun, it seems you've also encountered quite a few Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters. It's rare to see you all in such a sorry state!"
Zhu Zixi seemed to be complimenting Qi Yun, but in reality, there was a hint of mockery in his words.
The people of Qilin Mansion rarely cooperated with others, but every Cultivator among them was very powerful and usually looked down on Cultivators from other mansions.
Now, they ended up in the same predicament, being chased by Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters like stray dogs. Zhu Zixi secretly felt a sense of satisfaction.
Wan Tianchao and the others didn't mock him verbally, but they actually thought the same way in their hearts.
Qi Yun's expression was somewhat gloomy, with a hint of Evil Qi between his brows, "Zhu Zixi, you're not doing much better. I see that your Azure Dragon Mansion's Jade Dragon Prodigy hasn't returned. What? Did he get lost?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zixi's anger immediately flared up.
Shen Yulong was one of the Prodigies of the Azure Dragon Mansion, known as the Jade Dragon Prodigy. Unfortunately, his name sounded impressive, but his strength was actually a bit lacking. This time, he was besieged by Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters and had already perished!
Qi Yun's words were completely stabbing him in the heart. If he dared to mock him, Zhu Zixi wouldn't have an easy time either!
The two exchanged cold glances for a few moments, then stopped arguing.
White Crane stepped out from the side and said, "Everyone, I received news that Shen Tianxing has already entered Azure Nether Valley. This Azure Nether Valley is the only way to the Fierce Domain, and the passage is occupied by countless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters. He must be trapped inside."
"Now is a good Opportunity for us to enter Azure Nether Valley and deal with him!"
Deal with Shen Tianxing?
This was perhaps the only common topic among these Inner Sea Saints now!
"Indeed, we have also tracked Shen Tianxing's movements. It's a pity that Teng Mu, Liu Banhun, and Luo Tianhe haven't arrived. It seems they won't make it."
"In my opinion, why don't we few act together? Even if Fairy Liu is there, we still have a fighting chance!"
Everyone knew of Wan Tianchao's hatred for Shen Tianxing.
It was even more intense than Zhu Zixi's!
On this point, everyone had long reached a consensus, with nothing to hesitate about. Even Qi Yun did not object.
However, the only trouble was that several Saints felt somewhat lacking in confidence, because their trump cards had all been used once, or even completely depleted!
Was Fairy Liu really still easy to deal with?
...Azure Nether Valley!
Shen Tianxing and Liu Xianyun sat on a mountain peak, with Azure Nether Valley below. The two were waiting for those Saints to walk into their trap.
"It seems these high-and-mighty Saints and Prodigies have suffered greatly at the hands of the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters. Otherwise, with their personalities, they wouldn't be fleeing so miserably."
Liu Xianyun looked at Shen Tianxing, who was sitting beside her, admiring his handsome profile with a smile in her eyes.
Shen Tianxing chuckled, "Saints are also afraid of death. If they can't win, then all they can do is flee!"
This was the truth!
After all, even if the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters here were only supported by a trace of True Spirit, their power in life was unimaginable. Perhaps the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm was just the tip of the iceberg?
"Their lives are now in your hands. Having lost their trump cards, entering now is tantamount to suicide."
Before, Liu Xianyun's strength couldn't guarantee that she could keep all these Saints.
But now it was different. The trump cards in these Saints' hands were almost depleted, and Liu Xianyun was confident she could keep them all!
Just like in the Outer Sea before, letting Shen Tianxing harvest another wave fiercely.
"Talking about them is meaningless. Let's talk about you?"
Shen Tianxing looked at her and said with a grin, "We've known each other for so long, and you've never mentioned your family background. How about it, can you reveal it?"
Family background?
Upon hearing this, Liu Xianyun raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of teasing, "What? Do you want to meet my family? They might not be as easy to talk to as you imagine, you know."
Her family background was unique and one of the few in the Northern Wilderness, but she had never revealed it to anyone.
Shen Tianxing was the only one who had the right for her to willingly speak of it.
However, Liu Xianyun didn't want to say it now.
"Could it be that they can still stop what's between us?"
"Between us? You wish. I haven't agreed yet..."
Liu Xianyun's pretty face flushed slightly. She spoke reluctantly, but her heart was secretly delighted.
From the moment their Divine Souls merged on the desolate island, they were inseparable for this lifetime.
"What you say doesn't count. In this life, I'm afraid you won't escape my grasp."
Shen Tianxing looked at her, his gaze burning, as if he could see through her at a glance, making Liu Xianyun's pretty face blush and her eyes shy.
"They're here..."
Liu Xianyun didn't dare to continue the conversation with him and quickly pointed into the distance.
In the distance, figures like shooting stars chasing the moon flew over, each looking somewhat panicked.
"Shen Tianxing! Liu Xianyun! They are indeed here!"
"No, Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters infest Azure Nether Valley. Why aren't these two being attacked by the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters?"
Wan Tianchao, Qi Yun, Zhu Zixi, and the other Saints all stood in the air, with a hint of vigilance, not approaching.
Behind them were countless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, who would soon catch up. The Azure Nether Valley before them was their only way out.
"Time is running out. We must pass through Azure Nether Valley as quickly as possible, otherwise, with our path blocked ahead and pursuers behind, staying here means certain death!"
Qi Yun's brows were tightly furrowed. He only had one trump card left and was powerless to kill more Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters. Temporarily avoiding their sharp edge was the only thing he could do.
"Go!!!"
Hearing this, everyone could only choose to turn a blind eye. Killing Shen Tianxing could only wait for later.
Thinking of this, they prepared to pass through Azure Nether Valley first.
However, Shen Tianxing had waited here for so long precisely for them. How could he let them pass so easily?
"Everyone, long time no see. We meet again. Where are you rushing off to?"
"Why are you leaving without even saying hello?"
Shen Tianxing's voice suddenly came.
Upon hearing this, the Saints' expressions changed again.
This guy was clearly waiting for them here on purpose!
What on earth did he want to do?
"Shen Tianxing, we don't have time to waste with you. Move aside!"
Wan Tianchao's eyes held a murderous intent that was almost erupting!
They were already fleeing for their lives, and now Shen Tianxing was deliberately blocking their way. Once they were caught in a siege by Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, it would be difficult for them to escape again!
Shen Tianxing smiled. This was what they called the wheel of fortune!
However arrogant they were before, they now had to swallow all that arrogance as a price!
"Since you've come, why leave?"
"What do you think I've been waiting for you here for?"
"Shen Tianxing, don't force us!"
Qi Yun's face was filled with anger, a surge of fury in his chest about to burst out.
"There are endless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters coming from behind. Although I don't know what methods you used to be safe here, once we are entangled by the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, everyone will only perish together!"
The Prodigies of the other various forces also showed anxious expressions at this moment. They really couldn't wait any longer!
Shen Tianxing and Liu Xianyun were blocking the way. If they really wanted to fight, they weren't without a chance. Although their trump cards were almost exhausted, they were confident they could still kill Shen Tianxing!
They just needed to tie down the troublesome Liu Xianyun!
But doing so might lead to being surrounded by Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, and no one would be able to escape.
"Perish together? You can try. See if you can drag me to Hell with you!"
Shen Tianxing looked at them indifferently, showing no intention of moving a step.
This clearly meant he was going to fight them to the death!
"Do you really think we can't kill you? Even with Liu Xianyun, killing you is not impossible!"
Wan Tianchao's face was grim. He stretched out a hand, and dense flames swirled between his five fingers. His aura rapidly surged, like a volcano that had been dormant for countless years, about to unleash its hidden power!
"You really have no brains! Even now, haven't you noticed something is wrong?"
Shen Tianxing said leisurely, and then, the Devilish Qi from the depths of Azure Nether Valley behind him soared into the sky.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The earth shook, dust rolled, and countless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, some flying through the sky, some climbing the steep mountain walls on both sides, were rapidly approaching!
"Not good! The Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters in the deep valley have been alerted!"
Saint White Crane's expression changed, and he unconsciously took a step back.
Just by hearing the commotion, one knew that the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters rushing here were definitely not few!
They had already experienced it once and knew what it felt like to be besieged by endless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters. They didn't want to experience it again!
"What are you afraid of? If we're trapped, he can't escape either! At worst, we all die together!"
Wan Tianchao showed a fearless expression. He still had one trump card left, at least enough to protect himself!
Qi Yun and Zhu Zixi, however, changed their expressions at this moment!
"The Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters from behind have also arrived!!!"
Everyone looked back!
One by one, they immediately showed expressions as if they had seen a ghost!
In the distance, thick smoke rose, countless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters flew through the sky, climbing the high mountains and steep ridges on both sides, encircling them!
Three-legged Golden Toad, Six-armed Bear Ape, Three-headed Demonic Dog, Thunderfire Crow... Each body was shattered beyond recognition. Some had lost their heads, some had cracked bodies with thick green blood flowing from the terrifying cracks, some had countless fissures on their bodies...
But even so, these Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters could still barely survive by relying on a trace of True Spirit remaining deep within their Sea of Consciousness!
Driven by instinctive desire, all these creatures that had entered the Secret Realm were their food!
"Something's wrong! How can it be such a coincidence? We've encountered countless attacks from Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters these past few days, as if someone is controlling them. These Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters... seem to be trying to drive us into Azure Nether Valley!"
The more Qi Yun thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss. Until these overwhelming Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters surged from all directions, even the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters from the Fierce Domain appeared!
This proved that there must be something they didn't know!
He looked at Shen Tianxing again. Facing these endless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, he was calm, as if he had known this scene would happen all along!
Could it be... Qi Yun looked at Shen Tianxing's face, showing an incredulous expression, and his heart felt as if monstrous waves were crashing within him!
