Several returning invaders from beyond the borders saw the group and let out a series of sinister laughs. The High Priest had already arrived in person, so they no longer needed to fear these maggots of the alliance!

At this moment, Mo Shuwan and the others did not take the extraterrestrial invaders rushing towards them seriously. They stood frozen in place, staring intently at the old men standing in the darkness.

"Strike first! The best defense is a good offense!"

After more than a month of conditioning, and having consumed some herbs that were tens of thousands of years old, everyone is in very good condition now, and together they are capable of fighting.

Yun Chen gripped his sword tightly. The dark power that was slowly surging around him seemed to be attracted and immediately drifted towards him. However, before the dark power could cover the sword, one of the old men standing in the darkness stretched out his hand. The next moment, the dark power that had separated from the 'main force' slowly retreated back into the 'main force'.

Seeing this, everyone's hearts sank. They knew all too well how troublesome the extraterrestrial invaders were. Without using the power of darkness, there was simply no way to eliminate them in a short time.

It's a long story. Only a little over three minutes had passed between the discovery of the dark power and the appearance of the extraterrestrial invaders. The only good news for everyone was that the elders seemed unable to leave the range of the dark power.

But the dark forces are still slowly enveloping the palace, and sooner or later they will fall into their hands.

Seeing that Wang Jiabing and the others were already locked in battle with the invaders from beyond the realm, Mo Shuwan frowned and immediately took out a herb from her storage bag. This herb was naturally one of the tens of thousands of years old plants that had been discovered in the ancient ruins. She did not know the specific effects of the herb, but as long as these herbs could quickly replenish her lost life force, that would be enough.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Shuwan suddenly pulled back the bowstring. The dark power that had been suppressed by the old man suddenly surged toward her uncontrollably. The old man seemed not to have expected such an accident and was stunned for a moment. It was this moment of stunned silence that resulted in a black arrow appearing on Mo Shuwan's empty bowstring.

The next moment, the black arrow, which appeared to have no energy fluctuations, rushed towards them. The old men frowned and once again summoned dark power. The dark power barely condensed into a huge vortex, but this vortex could not stop the arrow.

The arrow broke through the vortex with unstoppable force and appeared right in front of the old men.

"snort!"

Several elders worked together to block the arrow, but the moment they stopped it, the power contained within the arrow suddenly exploded. The terrifying dark power instantly tore some of the extraterrestrial invaders following behind to pieces. The elders had not expected the arrow to be so powerful and suffered some minor injuries.

Mo Shuwan, who clearly saw this scene, frowned, knowing that continuing the fight would not do them any good.

"We need to find a way to break down the wall; our only option now is to escape."

Mo Shuwan nodded. "I know. Help me buy some time."

As the dark forces infiltrated, the elders approached step by step, forcing Wen Zuo and his group to continuously move the battlefield back. However, the dark forces were also closing in from behind, leaving them with nowhere to retreat.

Yun Chen had somehow ended up next to Mo Shuwan, saying, "I'll try my best to take advantage of your mistakes."

Mo Shuwan immediately understood his meaning and no longer hesitated. She adjusted her direction to face the wall, which looked dilapidated, and pulled the bowstring without hesitation. Yun Chen, who was already prepared, immediately captured some of the dark power that had been captured, and the longsword gradually turned black.

The method he figured out on his own didn't cause any damage to his body, so he wasn't concerned about how much dark power covered his longsword. As soon as he saw that it was covered, he immediately turned around and swung his sword at the invaders from beyond the realm in the darkness. Although he didn't cause any substantial damage to them, he managed to slow them down a little.

Mo Shuwan, however, was different. Her goal was to break through the wall in one blow, so she naturally compressed the dark power she had gathered. Even though the invisible sense of crisis was preventing her from destroying the wall, she did not stop at all.

"Fuck your grandpa! Wasn't it you, you bastard, who ambushed me just now? Huh? And you dare not say anything! I'll beat you to death!"

"You maggots of the alliance deserve to die!"

"The High Priest has already arrived and will soon enter the ancient ruins. At that time, you can forget about—uh…"

Looking at the corpse slumped on the ground, Cheng Hua snorted coldly and spat, "You talk too much."

However, from his few words, they had learned a little about the situation. They had originally thought that these old men were the high priests mentioned by the invaders from outside the region, but now it seemed that they had only come in to scout ahead, and the real high priest had not yet appeared.

Wen Zuo weaved through the crowd, occasionally lending a helping hand to his companions in danger. Apart from Mo Shuwan, his task was the most demanding. He not only had to deal with the extraterrestrial invaders who were entangled with him, but also had to keep an eye on the safety of dozens of companions so that he could rescue them as soon as possible.

At this moment, Mo Shuwan had already shot more than a dozen arrows at the wall. Each arrow caused the palace to shake violently. The old men who were about to make a move frowned, as if they had some concerns, and then retreated completely into the darkness.

Their purpose in coming here was to explore the ancient ruins and gradually turn them into their own territory. They had only just entered the outermost part of the ancient ruins, and they couldn't let these Alliance maggots ruin their plans.
