No one knows why Boss Mei is so fixated on Lin Jingting.

However, judging from the fact that Lin Jingting was only a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was assumed that he possessed limited treasures, so surprisingly no one was willing to get involved in their battle.

Reminded by Lin Zhao, who had already launched an attack on Tao Anbo's opponent, Tao Anbo freed up his hands and darted to Lin Jingting's side, grabbing his collar and rushing towards the exit.

Seeing this, Elder Mei urged his demonic blade to give chase. At the same time, just as Lin Zhao had expected, the other four elders of the Mei family abandoned Lin and his wife and gave chase as well.

Li Jueyin instantly reached the exit and called out, "Junior Brother Tao!"

Tao Anbo threw Lin Jingting directly at Li Jueyin. Unexpectedly, the five elders of the Mei family instantly combined their strength to form a strange magic array, which then bombarded Lin Jingting, who was still in the air.

Such a powerful offensive could only be stopped if five Mahayana Dao Venerables of the same cultivation level formed a magic array to resist it. However, not only have the Dao Venerables in front of us not specifically trained in offensive battle formations, but even if they had, it would probably be too late to form a formation on the spot.

Lin Zhao exclaimed in surprise: "Jingting!"

However, Lin Jingting suddenly disappeared in mid-air. In the void where he had been, a storage bracelet suddenly appeared.

The powerful attack of the Five Elders of Meishan struck the bracelet, which shattered into several pieces with a crack, revealing a storage ring inside. Lin Zhao pounced forward and caught the ring.

This storage space can hold a lot of things, including spiritual herbs and plants stored in special jade boxes, but it cannot hold spiritual beasts or living creatures. Cultivators who enter it will die within moments.

No one would be stupid enough to crawl into that thing.

Lin Jingting wouldn't be so foolish as to jump headfirst into this storage ring in a panic, would she?

However, this storage ring only appeared because the Five Elders of Meishan's magic array destroyed the spatial bracelet, so it must have been inside the bracelet before. This interlocking ring completely neutralized the combined killing move of the Five Elders of Meishan, a well-calculated plan that doesn't seem like a hasty decision!

Lin Zhao caught the storage ring and shouted to the other cultivators, "Let's go!"

Tao Anbo was the first to respond, rushing out of the "gap." Li Jueyin looked at Lin Zhao with suspicion, but said nothing and left as well. Li Yun had already left under Li Jueyin's orders when the restriction was broken.

Lin Zhao wasn't really sure if his son was in the ring. After all, he didn't know how Hua Nian had managed to protect Lin Jingting for so long. But he didn't have time to think about it now. If they stayed here any longer, they might not even be able to get out.

Moreover, so many cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage were trapped in the gaps due to their battle; they couldn't let Lin Jingting cause so many deaths. Even if he wasn't entirely a good person, they couldn't allow such a thing to happen.

The Five Elders of Meishan tracked after Lin Zhao, who had obtained the storage ring, and quickly formed an encirclement. However, this situation was soon broken by Li Jueyin and Tao Anbo, who surrounded them from both sides.

Lin Zhao shouted, "Let's get out of here first."

But he had a good plan. If the five demons were allowed to leave like that, the task assigned by the upper realm would not be completed, and the extradition would be in vain. Others could wait, but Boss Mei could not. He immediately threw out several demonic talismans with lightning speed, instantly sealing off all of Lin Zhao's escape routes.

He intended to kill Lin Zhao with a single blow to avoid interfering with the five brothers' affairs, but unexpectedly, the valley shook, and the exit of the crevice also shook violently.

This is a sign that the exit from the gap is about to close.

All the cultivators were shocked: although they had all chosen to leave the rift ahead of time based on the principle of safety, the fact that the long-standing thirty-day deadline had actually been brought forward by several days was still hard for them to believe.

Because of the battle among the Venerables at the exit, a large number of cultivators were still trapped inside the rift. Now that the exit of the rift has changed, the cultivators who are still lingering inside are naturally anxious and all of them turn into streaks of light and rush outwards without regard for anything else.

Tao Anbo had already tried his best to lure the two Mei brothers into a battle in the high sky, so as to avoid harming innocent people, since many of those who were escaping from the gap were his descendants.

Seeing this, Li Jueyin was about to do the same, but then she saw that Lin Zhao was trapped on the ground by Boss Mei with a bunch of demonic talismans. It looked like the talismans were about to explode when Boss Mei activated them, and Lin Zhao was on the verge of death. She was horrified.

Just then, a woman's voice came from the exit of the gap: "Oh, everyone's here, it's quite lively!"

The sound attracted everyone's attention, including those who were engaged in fierce battle. Even those who didn't have time to turn around and look would spare a bit of their spiritual sense to investigate.

The investigation revealed a surprising discovery: emerging from the crevice was Hua Nian, a notorious female demon infamous across all three clans.

She had walked out leisurely, which would have been fine, but she happened to be carrying someone on her arm. The person was face down, slumped over like a sack, and seemed to have lost consciousness, but you could still tell that he was tall.

His robes, his figure... all looked strangely familiar to the people engaged in fierce battle.

Then everyone saw Hua Nian throw the person she was holding onto the ground. Seeing that the person was lying on the ground with their face buried in the dirt, she seemingly kindly kicked them, causing them to turn over, which revealed Lin Jingting's handsome, demonic face.

Seeing that everyone was looking in their direction, but none of their gazes or spiritual senses were on her, as they were all focused on Lin Jingting, who was lying unconscious on the ground, Chu Nian coughed lightly.

She said with a smile, "Whose brat is this! I ran into him. I saw that his cultivation level wasn't high and his bone age wasn't old, but he had quite a few treasures. I'm a kind old man, and I was afraid that someone would kill him and steal his treasures, so I took his treasures to save his life!"

The two sides were originally fighting for Lin Jingting. Now that they discovered Lin Jingting wasn't with Lin Zhao at all, the Five Elders of Meishan immediately shifted their attention to Chu Nian and Lin Jingting lying next to her.

The Lin family couple and Tao Anbo and others were finally able to stop their offensive and defensive maneuvers.

Upon hearing Chu Nian's words, Tao Anbo immediately flew into a rage and spat out, "Pah! Hua Nian, have you no shame? How can you talk about seizing a Nascent Soul cultivator's treasure in such a high-sounding way?"

Chu Nian chuckled and said, "You flatter me! You guys were having quite a lively fight just now, why have you stopped? To be honest, ever since I started cultivating, I've been so busy fighting with others that I rarely have the chance to watch others fight. Don't stop, keep going!"

Mei Laoda's demonic blade hummed and transformed into a flash, already attacking Lin Jingting who was lying on the ground.
