Although they had escaped thousands of meters away, they did not dare to stay for even a moment, for fear that the demons would catch up with them.

They flew for three days and three nights and were exhausted, so they stopped to rest for a while.

"The city lord and the others will definitely come back alive, right..." a female cultivator said in a low voice with red eyes.

Hearing her words, everyone paused and no one spoke for a long time.

That was a demon in the Spirit Severing stage. City Lord Nie might not have the confidence that he could defeat him, so he asked them to flee quickly and stayed behind to hold him back, buying them time to escape.

Just when everyone was immersed in sadness, Jiang Yi, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He felt something approaching.

So he looked in that direction, and then found that the things approaching were indeed demons, and there were quite a few of them. The highest level among them was in the Nascent Soul stage, and the others were all in the Golden Core or Foundation Establishment stage.

So he quickly stood up from the ground, drew out his sword, and warned everyone, "The demons are coming!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly gathered their emotions and stood up to fight.

Now they were feeling sad and angry because Nie Zhenting and the others had to fight against the Spirit Severing Stage demons in order to buy them time to escape, so these demons just became their targets for venting their anger.

For a moment, countless swords flashed by, and the light emitted by the magic was shining...

After killing all the demons, they didn't dare to stay any longer and hurried on their way.

Now that there are many dangers outside, they have to go back quickly, otherwise if they encounter a demon in the first out-of-body stage, they will not be able to deal with it.

Fortunately, although they encountered many demons along the way, they did not encounter any demons above the Nascent Soul stage, and everyone arrived at Xingyue City safely.

There were twelve of them when they went there, but only seven came back.

Except for Nie Zhenting's three out-of-body stage cultivators who stayed behind to deal with the distraction stage demons, the other two Nascent Soul stage cultivators died while fighting the demons.

When the monk in charge of guarding the city gate saw them, he hurriedly opened the ban and let them in. Seeing how tired they looked, he couldn't help but become worried.

"What happened to you, Taoist Lords?"

These are all powerful warriors in the Nascent Soul stage, why are they like this?

The monk was only responsible for guarding the city gate, so he had no idea where Yang Anping and the others had gone. He just thought that they had gone out to kill the demons.

A month ago, the higher-ups said that the number of demons outside the city had increased. In order to protect everyone's safety, the city gates were temporarily closed and no one was allowed to leave the city.

He felt that perhaps for this reason, the two city lords led a group of powerful warriors above the Nascent Soul stage to go out and hunt monsters in order to ensure the safety of the surrounding area.

But why did so many people come back? Why didn't the two city lords come back? Could it be that they...

No, it definitely won’t happen. Their city lord is so powerful. The city lord of Tianqi City is even a powerful man in the late out-of-body stage. He is now the most powerful cultivator in the entire Lingyuan world. How could anything happen to them!

The monk comforted himself in his heart.

"Nothing." Jiang Yi didn't say much to him, he just said to him: "Don't let anyone leave Xingyue City, it's not safe outside now."

Upon hearing this, the monk agreed repeatedly, "As you command, Daojun. In fact, the city lord has already issued an order earlier, asking everyone not to leave the city."

Jiang Yizhao nodded to him, and then left with everyone else.

Now they have a lot of important things to deal with, so there is no time to waste.

Among the seven people who returned, five were from Tianqi City. From Xingyue City, only Jiang Yi and Yang Anping returned alive.

Because they were worried about encountering powerful demons on the road, for safety reasons, the cultivators from Tianqi City followed Jiang Yi and his companions to Xingyue City. They did not separate from Jiang Yi and his companions and return to the city alone. There was a teleportation array between the two cities, so they could come to Xingyue City and return to Tianqi City through the teleportation array.

"We will go back to Tianqi City first. If there is anything or you need help, you can contact us then." The cultivators from Tianqi City said to Jiang Yi and Yang Anping.

They are now in a hurry to go back, after all, there are many things waiting for them to deal with.

Including the Nascent Soul cultivator who stayed behind, there were still six Nascent Soul cultivators left in Tianqi City, and there were only two Nascent Soul cultivators left in Xingyue City, so they naturally needed more care.

But that's not right. They have a divine beast in Xingyue City, which is a legendary dragon. Its cultivation is said to be comparable to that of their city lord, so maybe their Tianqi City will have to rely on their Xingyue City.

People in both cities knew about Lilia's existence. After all, Lilia had lived here for five hundred years. When she followed Yang Anping and others to kill demons, she often changed into her original form, so everyone naturally knew her.

Everyone accepted her identity well. After all, she was kind-hearted, friendly, and helped the human race eliminate the evil demons. Everyone was grateful to her, so how could they not like her?

What's more, her strength is very powerful, which is also a good thing for them. The more powerful people there are, the more secure they will be.

It was precisely because they knew Lilia that when they went to the sealed land, many people wondered why they didn't bring Lilia along. It was only from Jiang that they learned that it was because Lilia was in seclusion practicing.

Now that I think about it, if Lilia hadn't been in seclusion, perhaps with her there, she and Nie Zhenting and the others would have been able to defeat the demon in the God Transformation Stage, and Nie Zhenting and the others would not have died.

But everyone also knew that this could not be blamed on Lilia. After all, she was in seclusion and had no idea about this matter. What's more, their human race owed her a lot of favors, and now they might only be able to count on her protection. After all, the strongest among them was only at the Nascent Soul stage.
