218: Chapter 218: Is the Hidden Official Going Out of the City to Rescue People?

Although the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery had only sent her Clone this time, it had condensed more than half of her Lunar Soul essence, making it even stronger than an average Cultivator in the Ascension Realm.

However, she had never expected that the sword strike delivered by Great Sword Immortal Zuo You would be so terrifyingly powerful!

Previously, when the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery heard that Great Sword Immortal Zuo You had escaped from the hands of Bai Ying, Wu Yue, Niu Dao, and Qie Yun, she had been somewhat disdainful of their combat prowess.

But at this very moment, after truly receiving a full-power strike from Great Sword Immortal Zuo You, the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery finally understood that Bai Ying and the others had not been exaggerating!

This sword strike had directly shattered nearly one-tenth of the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery's Lunar Soul.

This was the first time she had suffered such a severe injury since she had refined half of the Lunar Soul from one of the three bright moons of the Wilderness World into her natal object!

That was why the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery had left without the slightest hesitation.

If this Clone of hers were to truly die here, her true body's cultivation would be greatly damaged, and it was even possible for her realm to fall.

Following the departure of the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery, a large gap immediately appeared in the encirclement originally formed by the five Throne-level Great Demons.

Seeing this scene, Liu Cha's expression instantly darkened.

"That old thing, the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery, would have been better off not sending her Clone at all!" Bai Ying could not help but curse loudly.

She did not say another word, directly steering the white bone throne beneath her feet, attempting to fill the hole left by the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery.

The two Throne-level Great Demons, Yang Zhi and Wu Yue, also instantly tightened the encirclement.

"Go quickly!" Great Sword Immortal Zuo You said expressionlessly.

Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei gritted his teeth, knowing that if he did not leave now, it would be too late.

"Take care of yourself; I, Nalan Shaowei, will always remember this matter!"

After saying this, he no longer hesitated and flew toward the Great Wall of Sword Qi at his fastest speed.

Sure enough, the remaining four Wilderness Demon Clan members knew they could not stop Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei, so they all surrounded Great Sword Immortal Zuo You.

This Sword Immortal Zuo You, who was not born with a sword embryo but had suppressed countless natural sword embryos of the Central Divine Continent so that they could not even lift their heads, narrowed his eyes.

He gripped the long sword in his hand tightly, his expression remaining indifferent.

Gradually, the Sword Qi within a hundred-mile radius began to boil, whipping up gusts of wind as it converged toward Great Sword Immortal Zuo You!

Standing on her white bone throne, Bai Ying could no longer hold back and was about to make a move.

The Great Demon Wu Yue also raised that thunderous long spear again, preparing to throw it.

Yang Zhi retracted the cylinder, reverted to her true form, and captured the water from a great river tens of miles away, suspending it before her.

Liu Cha frowned, but he was not in a hurry to draw his sword.

He really wanted to see just how high the sword skills of this Disciple of the Literary Saint truly were.

...

Meanwhile, on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, many Sword Cultivators were also gazing toward the further south of the Wilderness World.

The massive commotion caused by the great battle even slightly affected the Sword Qi of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Inside the thatched cottage of the Grand Sword Immortal Chen Qingdu, several Great Sword Immortals of the Great Wall of Sword Qi were standing.

"Grand Sword Immortal, let me leave the city to support Great Sword Immortal Zuo You and Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei; otherwise, the two of them are very likely to be in danger!"

Dong Sangeng, who had once infiltrated the Wilderness World during his Golden Core Stage and returned a hundred years later with the head of an Ascension Realm Great Demon, said this with a tightly furrowed brow.

However, the Grand Sword Immortal, sitting on a stool, only spoke in a flat tone: "When those two wanted to engage in Sword Inquiry earlier, why didn't you stop them?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Sangeng, Great Sword Immortal Qi Tingji, and Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi all fell somewhat silent.

"In any case, we cannot fail to save Great Sword Immortal Zuo You and Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei!" The only female Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal Lu Zhi, could not help but raise her willow-leaf eyebrows.

Grand Sword Immortal Chen Qingdu then said in a deep voice: "This time, those Throne-level Great Demons from the Wilderness World came so quickly; it is obvious that they had planned this beforehand."

"This time, Great Sword Immortal Zuo You and Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei drawing them out will also allow our Great Wall of Sword Qi to make preparations in advance."

"With the sword skills of Great Sword Immortal Zuo You and Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei, aside from Liu Cha being somewhat difficult to deal with, the others are not much trouble."

"The two of them should be able to hold out for a while, so do not be anxious yet."

Just at this moment, the Hidden Official narrowed their eyes, shook their head adorned with two pigtails, and said with a smile:

"Grand Sword Immortal, why not let me make a move? It just so happens that my hands have been itching lately."

As Xiao Ying said this with a smile, he revealed two sharp little canine teeth.

The thatched cottage fell into contemplation; it seemed Grand Sword Immortal Chen Qingdu was considering the feasibility of this matter, and the other Great Sword Immortals naturally did not speak.

In the situation where A Liang was not at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, this Hidden Official leaving the city to support Great Sword Immortal Zuo You and Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei was indeed the best decision.

Grand Sword Immortal Chen Qingdu absolutely could not leave the Great Wall of Sword Qi himself, and although Dong Sangeng's sword skills were a notch higher than Xiao Ying's, he could not easily draw his sword either.

Therefore, this Hidden Official was actually the best choice.

However, just at this moment, an urgent voice suddenly came from outside the thatched cottage: "No!"

As this voice fell, the figures of Yang Simu and Ruan Xiu walked into the thatched cottage.

The Great Wall of Sword Qi had always had a rule: only the Peak Great Sword Immortals could participate in the discussions on the city walls of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Back in the day, when A Liang broke this rule, he was frightened into instant sobriety by a single soft "Good" from Grand Sword Immortal Chen Qingdu, and from then on, he became the Grand Sword Immortal's little cotton-padded jacket.

The various Great Sword Immortals inside the cottage had naturally noticed that Yang Simu and Ruan Xiu were eavesdropping outside the door just now.

But Yang Simu was, after all, the only Disciple of the Grand Sword Immortal, and he had also unified the four sword lineages of the human world; in the future, he would surely be the pillar of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Since the Grand Sword Immortal himself did not speak, the others naturally would not say anything more.

However, now that Yang Simu had barged in directly, that was a major taboo!

At this moment, the several Great Sword Immortals inside the cottage frowned and looked at him.

Yang Simu certainly knew about this rule of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

However, the person currently surrounded by several Throne-level Great Demons in the Wilderness World was none other than Sword Immortal Zuo You, who had once lent him one-tenth of his Sword Qi, and who was also Qi Jingchun's Senior Brother; he could not just turn a blind eye.

Therefore, he had brazenly eavesdropped outside the cottage just now, wanting to see what plan the Grand Sword Immortal would have.

However, when he heard that Hidden Official voluntarily offer to leave the city to save Great Sword Immortal Zuo You.

Yang Simu's heart could not help but tremble violently, and he almost shouted out: "No!"

He knew very well that if Xiao Ying left the city at this time, it was highly likely that he would not be going to save Great Sword Immortal Zuo You, but rather to join forces to surround and kill him!

Killing a Great Sword Immortal of the Great Wall of Sword Qi provided much more confidence for defecting to the Wilderness World than merely seriously injuring one.

Therefore, no matter what, Yang Simu absolutely could not let Xiao Ying leave the city at this time.

Dong Sangeng looked at Yang Simu and frowned, saying: "Yang Simu, Great Sword Immortal Zuo You and Great Sword Immortal Nalan Shaowei are in a critical situation right now; stop causing trouble."

"Neither the Grand Sword Immortal nor I can leave the city, or else it is very likely we will give Tuoyue Mountain an opportunity."

"Apart from the two of us, the Hidden Official currently has the highest sword skills in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, so letting him go is the most appropriate choice."

"Do you have any doubts?"

Xiao Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Yang Simu with a smile.

The other Great Sword Immortals inside the cottage also looked at him, their expressions slightly puzzled.
