Following the crisp sound was an even more violent tremor of the ground, and a faint rumbling sound of the earth's crust cracking could be heard deep underground.

Having barely adjusted to the ground tremors, the birds and beasts that had temporarily returned to the mountains and forests under the cover of night were startled once again.

In their panic, the birds lost their bearings and collided with each other, causing many to fall from the sky with broken wings.

The same is true for the beasts on the ground.

Even though there was a sheer cliff in front of them, they were so terrified that they jumped off in droves without hesitation.

"The earth's crust is cracking at an accelerated rate; we don't have much time left." Ji Chenhai clenched his fists, stood up, and looked towards the direction of Chengdu.

"Why haven't my brother and Xiao Chen brought Mother and the others here yet?" Ji Fengxiao's childish voice was filled with anxiety.

Wuying and Wuhen looked at the ground beneath their feet, which was already cracked and stones were constantly being shaken off the edge, with great concern. They said, "Your Highness, why don't you, the Princess, and Lord Ji go first? I'll wait for them here by myself."

He worried that such violent crustal movement would crack and damage the teleportation array.

They should leave as soon as possible, otherwise, if the teleportation array is destroyed, they will all be destroyed along with this world.

"They're here!"

"They're here!"

Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao spoke in unison, and took the lead in riding their flying swords towards the night sky in the direction of Chengdu.

Ji Chenhai, Zhao Qinglian, Wuying, Wuhen, Xique, and others followed suit.

The group greeted them for about two miles and sure enough, they saw Ji Fengming, Hei Xiao, Zu Shou, and other soldiers from the military camp who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage approaching.

Each of their flying swords had three to four people standing on it;

The ancestral beast carried more than twenty of them on its back!

Everyone was struggling to fly, swaying precariously, but they could feel the changes on the ground and were holding on with all their might.

"Mother-in-law, Fengming, Black Owl..."

"Mother, brother, Brother Xiao Chen!"

Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao went to meet them, preparing to receive them from behind Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao.

Ji Fengming stopped them, saying urgently, "Go quickly to the back to meet the soldiers in the camp. They've been riding day and night, and several horses have already died. The remaining horses probably won't last much longer."

"All the brothers from the military camp have arrived," Wuying and Wuhen asked happily.

“No,” Black Owl shook his head, looking very dejected. “Only two thousand people with cultivation levels at the ninth or tenth level of Qi Condensation came. The others voluntarily chose to stay and go back to be with their families and friends.”

"They said there's only one teleportation array, and it certainly can't handle too many people. They chose to give the chance of survival to their brothers who have better aptitude." Wu Shang's eyes were red and still slightly swollen, clearly from crying.

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiye, Wuying, Wuhen, and Ji Fengyao all felt a pang of pain in their hearts.

That's just how the world is.

Sometimes, kind people are truly kind, and malicious people are truly malicious.

But in this world, kindness always outweighs evil, and beauty always outweighs ugliness.

Therefore, it is also worthy of being cherished and loved.

"My dear wife, you take them to the teleportation array first. I'll have Ghost Face gather those demonic beasts to pick up the soldiers behind us," Shang Xiye said firmly, squeezing Ji Fengyao's hand tightly.

Although he didn't want to be separated from the little bandit for even a moment during this time, he also had responsibilities and duties to shoulder.

"Okay, you guys need to hurry!"

Ji Fengyao understood perfectly and let go of his hand without hesitation or hindering his departure.
