Outside the Heavenly Palace, a massive army of demonic cultivators was pressing in.
Li Tuo faced the situation head-on, appearing calm on the surface but actually panicking terribly.
The opposing black flag is arrayed in formation.
The Demon Elder at the very front looked formidable, not to mention he was already at the peak of the Demon Emperor realm, while their side didn't even have a single one who could fight back.
It's all over, it's all over.
This is a death sentence, to be buried far from home.
Li Tuo's mental fortitude was poor; he lost the battle before it even began, already in terms of morale. Fortunately, there was Niu Niu. Though straightforward, he was brave.
With both sides holding their positions, a battle is imminent.
Niu Chuanchuan led his martial arts practitioners into the enemy ranks, and the two sides immediately clashed. The battlefield was a fierce battle of close combat. Niu Chuanchuan's figure was valiant and powerful, possessing an unstoppable momentum.
They managed to force the demonic cultivators to sound the order to retreat.
They actually won the defense this time! And the casualties were not heavy.
In just half an hour, Li Tuo experienced the highs and lows of life, from worry to fear to disbelief.
In just seven days
The demonic cultivators launched four attacks on the Heavenly Palace, but without exception, all of them were repelled by the martial cultivators led by Niu Chuanchuan. These battles went exceptionally smoothly, but Li Tuo's anxiety remained unabated.
He felt that these last few times had gone a little too smoothly.
His cautious nature led him to firmly refuse Niu Chuanchuan's offer to leave the Heavenly Palace and lead the martial arts cultivators to sweep through the demonic cultivators' territory.
"This matter is not urgent. His Majesty said that we should just guard the Heavenly Palace."
Li Tuo kept Shang Yanting's task firmly in mind. Even after winning several times, he dared not relax in the slightest. "You must tell everyone recently not to let their guard down. The battles lately have been too easy to win. Anything unexpected is bound to be a sign of trouble."
Tsk!
Niu Niu felt somewhat resentful upon hearing this.
The situation is clearly very favorable, so why not press the advantage and completely eliminate the demonic cultivators? If the dean hadn't repeatedly emphasized to him before leaving that he must follow Li Tuo's orders, he would have already led his men to attack.
I really don't understand why the Dean entrusted such an important position of leading the Heavenly Palace to him instead of himself, given that he is a cowardly and weak person who only dares to back down in a fight.
After winning several battles, Niu Niu became a little arrogant, but he could only obediently stay in the Heavenly Palace, feeling really stifled.
If it weren't for obeying Shang Yanting's every word, he would have loved to give even the demonic dog two big slits.
On the other side
After Shang Yanting took Jia Xitong away, he did not stay in the demonic cultivation territory, nor did he return to the martial cultivation territory. Instead, he took her directly into the deep sea between the two continents.
The deep sea is the perfect sanctuary for dragons.
He led Jia Xitong down to a very deep area of the sea.
All around was pitch black. Ugly-looking monsters lurked in the sea, drawn by the scent of blood, and circled around them, waiting for their chance to strike. The dragons' innate bloodline suppressed them, preventing them from getting any closer.
However, these were not the most dangerous things; what was far more dangerous was the demonic energy emanating from her body. The demonic energy in her wounds grew increasingly dense, corroding Jia Xitong's injuries and eroding her spiritual power, making her weaker and weaker.
Ordinary spiritual energy has no effect on these demonic energies. He brought Jia Xitong here to take a risk and absorb all of these demonic energies into his body.
Just in case, he put two Primordial Primordial Elixir pills in his mouth beforehand.
He made hand seals, gathering spiritual power within his body, while the long-dormant demonic energy surged wildly within him.
His black hair turned dark red, and a demonic mark appeared between his eyebrows.
Shang Yanting formed a hand seal, creating a unique space between the two. The demonic energy around Jia Xitong clung to her like a stubborn plaster; Shang Yanting's method was effective, but slow.
For seven whole days, the two remained motionless in the water.
It was during these seven days that Shang Yanting, in another distant world, saw once again the medicine-delivering boy who had suddenly appeared and disappeared.
Why did she have to reappear?
Wouldn't it be better for her to just leave far away?
In the stillness of the night, in the darkness of the world, Shang Yanting, the author of the original work, suddenly opened his eyes while cultivating. So many years had passed since she last left and never appeared again.
He had clearly forgotten her, so why did she reappear in his mind?
The eyes in the darkness were cold and gloomy because of betrayal.
He did have a brief crush on her before, but he mustn't let himself meet her again, or he will definitely kill her with his own hands!
Shang Yanting's heart was already ice-cold; he even felt ironic about the strange dream he had. A vast ocean, teeming with countless aquatic monsters—and yet, he was still healing that swindler.
He coldly watched as the magical beasts, seeing that the two hadn't moved for too long, tried to take advantage of the situation to attack them. In the instant the magical beasts charged, he transformed into a dragon in his dream.
The colossal body firmly protected the swindler, while its massive tail swung away the surrounding monsters that tried to charge. The dragon's innate bloodline of dominance forced these monsters into submission.
Shang Yanting once again denied it in his heart, thinking that he would never protect this liar like that.
Dreams are just dreams!
His gaze swept over the enormous dragon tail; the semi-circular scales were smooth and dark gold, containing both immense power and extraordinary beauty…
The dragon tail looked at him and frowned slightly. He knew his own body better than anyone; this was not his dragon tail!
...
In the sea, Shang Yanting was at a crucial moment absorbing demonic energy. He protected Jia Xitong while constantly driving away all the demonic beasts that were eyeing the area covetously.
At this time, the Heavenly Palace also faced its most critical moment.
The demonic cultivators, leading ten times more cultivators than before, surrounded the Heavenly Palace, a far cry from their previous small-scale skirmishes.
The story begins at the very beginning.
Bai Yu Zhenjun sought out the Demon Elder for a talk, offering to return to the demonic cultivators' camp in exchange for him going easy on the Heavenly Palace during the attack. He also promised that the martial cultivators would soon leave the demonic cultivators' territory, using the method Shang Yanting had taught him. In the end, the Demon Elder agreed.
The two worked together to deceive Wanzhi. But Wanzhi wasn't stupid; it eventually discovered the deception.
Wan Zhi was furious about this.
It directly threatens the Demon Elder; now, only one of the Heavenly Palace and the Demon Child can exist!
It's obvious which is more important to him.
So, the Demon Lord is getting serious!
Right under Wan Zhi's nose, the Demon Elder led thousands of demon cultivators with the strength of the Demon Sect to surround the Heavenly Palace.
These people were the greatest elites of the demonic cultivation realm, and with the addition of the Demon Elder at the Demon Emperor level, the Heavenly Palace, without Shang Yanting, was powerless to resist. They were forced into a series of defeats, and even Niu Chuanchuan was seriously injured.
Li Tuo had no other options left. He even rushed out with his sword to fight against these demonic cultivators, hoping for a miracle so that Yan Qing could return immediately to save him!
