"How... how could this be... that demonic cultivator is helping him??"
The elderly man surnamed Wei and Chen Shaorong looked shocked and incredulous.
I thought that at the last moment, with the talisman and the spirit sword striking down, Lin Xiuyuan would surely perish on the spot.
However, at the critical moment, several refined corpses jumped out and directly blocked the numerous top-level talismans and spirit swords, saving Lin Xiuyuan from the killing calamity!
This left people confused about whether those reanimated corpses originally intended to break through the gap, or whether their master was intentionally controlling them...
This immediately enraged the two old men surnamed Wei, making them tremble with rage. They felt dizzy and their heads were buzzing. The old man surnamed Wei roared repeatedly, saying, "Damn it, how could this be? He must be colluding with the demonic cultivators... It must be, it must be. There's no way it could be such a coincidence!"
With those few refined corpses blocking their way, they had completely missed their chance to kill Lin Xiuyuan.
As the two sides clashed, a new round of major offensives began, creating a gap in the battlefield...
They've already missed their chance!
At this moment, several Golden Sea Sect disciples near Lin Xiuyuan looked at the scene with surprise and some hesitation.
On the one hand, although Chen Xue did not say it explicitly, her meaning was very clear: she valued Lin Xiuyuan highly, and their relationship seemed to be quite special.
But on the other hand, the person who just made the move was Chen Shaorong... who is also a senior martial uncle!
For a moment, they didn't know whether to help Chen Shaorong take down Lin Xiuyuan or to help Lin Xiuyuan.
At this moment.
After repelling the attacks of numerous demonic cultivators, Chen Xue was still somewhat overwhelmed. After a few moments of recuperation, she immediately flashed to Chen Shaorong's side, her face as cold as frost, and said in an icy tone, "Don't force me to take action. If you do such a thing again, I will really kill you here."
Hua Yunshang and Liu Yuan, who were standing to the side, also turned their gazes over after taking a breath, their brows furrowing slightly.
Although it's unclear what exactly happened between the two, there are signs of conflict, so they can't let things continue like this.
"Fellow Daoists, we must prioritize the greater good right now. We need to unite to resist the demonic cultivators. We'll be leaving the secret realm soon, so let's not let small things cause us to lose sight of the bigger picture!"
“Yes, if we start fighting amongst ourselves, the demonic cultivators will take advantage of the situation and we’ll all die here. We can deal with anything else once we’re out of the secret realm. Right now, we need to unite and fight against the demonic cultivators!”
Hua Yunshang and Liu Yuan frowned and spoke with solemn expressions.
Chen Xue naturally understood this as well, otherwise she would have already taken action by now. Therefore, she was just staring coldly at Chen Shaorong.
Chen Shaorong's expression was indifferent, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, but in the end he could only nod and say, "Don't worry, since the opportunity has already been missed, I won't force it."
The opportunity had already been missed, and Chen Shaorong understood that there was no turning back.
If this continues, it might force Chen Xue to kill someone!
For a moment, Chen Shaorong was extremely unwilling, his face was extremely gloomy. The killing plan was clearly in place, but at the critical moment, it was ruined by those few refining corpses.
It's a pity that he had already used the talisman on the cultivator from the Kuncang Sect to rescue him earlier; otherwise, if he had saved it for this moment, he would have definitely been able to kill Lin Xiuyuan.
It's truly infuriating!!
"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you seize this opportunity to capture Wei Xian? With a major battle imminent, he dares to launch a sneak attack, disrupting our morale. Kill him on the spot!"
After Chen Xue narrowed her eyes and intimidated Chen Shaorong, she turned and gave an order.
Originally, being in a secret location, there was no excuse to attack the old man surnamed Wei, but now that he has delivered himself to their doorstep, when else would they take the opportunity to kill him?
Upon hearing this, the Golden Sea Sect cultivators near Lin Xiuyuan immediately stopped hesitating and attacked the old man surnamed Wei.
Just as Lin Xiuyuan was about to make a move, he heard Chen Xue transmit her voice into his ear, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lin, the formation is almost complete. You can either deal with this person or leave him for them to deal with. Then you should retreat back to the valley and wait for the teleportation!"
They had gained enough time. After holding off the next wave of attacks, they would begin to retreat into the valley and prepare to teleport away from this place.
Lin Xiuyuan was already wounded, covered in blood, and weak. It would be best for him to leave the front line as soon as possible and enter the valley.
Lin Xiuyuan nodded silently, without saying a word, his gaze cold and menacing as he stared intently at the old man surnamed Wei.
At this moment, several disciples of the Golden Sea Sect had already activated their spiritual swords and pressed down horizontally. They were either experts at the eleventh or twelfth level of Qi Refining.
Although they had all sustained some injuries during the demonic cultivators' attacks, their combined attack now unleashed a terrifying killing intent that descended upon the old man surnamed Wei.
Lin Xiuyuan's killing intent had already reached its peak, so he did not choose to leave immediately. Instead, he took out a stack of top-tier talismans and activated them.
In an instant, streaks of brilliant golden light lit up the sky, instantly forming seven or eight golden swords that slashed down with a deafening roar, creating a deadly attack on several disciples of the Golden Sea Sect.
The old man surnamed Wei was not particularly strong in combat, and now, facing such a deadly attack, he had no chance to struggle at all.
He was immediately forced to retreat, the sword flashes leaving numerous wounds on his body, from which blood flowed freely!
The old man surnamed Wei was filled with resentment, despair and hatred intertwined on his face, making him look ferocious as he roared repeatedly:
"Ah, why? You were already in dire straits... If it weren't for those few reanimated corpses, you would have been dead for sure. Ah, heaven is truly blind!"
The old man surnamed Wei roared in grief, then pointed at Lin Xiuyuan with a crazed expression, saying, "He must be colluding with demonic cultivators, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? You've targeted the wrong person! He must be involved with demonic cultivators, we must take him down quickly..."
The disciples of the Golden Sea Sect remained expressionless. Although they had been standing next to Lin Xiuyuan and had seen some of the signs, they still had some doubts.
But since Uncle Chen personally gave the order, and even she had no objections, what objections could they possibly have?
Under the onslaught of the group, the old man surnamed Wei gradually descended into despair amidst his madness. The power of various talismans intertwined to suppress him, and Huo Yun continuously spewed out raging flames.
Under such multiple attacks, he couldn't even use his prized stealth technique to escape.
He could only face death in madness and despair.
