Chapter 64 Exposes Their Despicable Nature on the Spot (Revised)
Aerial combat is obviously not the work of military reclamation corps members. Except for the Purple Demons, the Fine Demon Clan is basically incapable of engaging in aerial combat.
A few minutes later, Lingzhou arrived at the scene of the duel.
The high priest was stunned at first glance!
Five young men and women were seen riding on the backs of large birds, directing a flock of birds to attack Ah Chen and his group.
Judging from the style of the robes worn by these young men and women, they were clearly not local residents.
They all exuded powerful auras, indicating they were all at least at the Tongtian Realm, and each possessed an extremely powerful magic weapon.
The appearance of five such powerful figures at once caused the High Priest's heart to sink – an invasion from another world!
As the leader of the Demon Clan, who spent years conquering and plundering other worlds, the High Priest had anticipated this day ever since the invasion of the alien beasts began.
They first sent out strange beasts to probe the situation, but now that they've discovered the overall strength of the Dust Continent isn't strong, they've sent human cultivators instead.
However, now is not the time to think about these things. Ah Chen and his group have been forced into a retreat. If the enemy hadn't deliberately avoided killing them, they would probably have suffered casualties by now.
Upon seeing these creatures riding large birds attacking her brother, Xi'er didn't hesitate and charged out like a cannonball.
She immediately unleashed her strongest killing move – Annihilation of All Heavens!
The five young people who fought against Achen and his group were the elite youths sent by the Cangluan family.
After the spatial passage was opened, the nine family heads joined forces to unleash their strongest attack, fully believing that they had already killed the most powerful being on the other side.
Then they confidently sent their elite disciples into the spatial passage.
To ensure fairness, each family sent ten members.
Although everyone's interests were aligned, there was also strong competition within the family. After discussing it, the ten disciples decided to split into two groups and go hunting separately.
In their eyes, this was a barren, low-level continent, and with their cultivation level, even if there were only five of them, they could roam freely.
The Cangluan family is skilled at communicating with birds, so their members prefer to use birds for transportation when traveling.
After entering the country, this group rode large birds through the air and happened to encounter Achen's group, who were exterminating exotic beasts and birds.
Unfortunately, these strange beasts and birds were all survivors sent by the Azure Phoenix Clan in the early stages, and that's how the two sides started fighting.
At this moment, Achen, Nie Xiaoxiao, and Long Batian were sitting on the back of the fathead fish, while Mina used a tornado to carry Matt.
The five people were originally dealing with more than a dozen seventh-tier birds. Based on their previous hunting experience, they first took down the bird king.
Without their king, the flock fell into chaos and was on the verge of being torn apart and wiped out one by one.
Then five guys riding large birds rushed out. Each of them rode a different bird, but they were all obviously extremely fast birds of prey.
Unfortunately, these five guys were all at the Tongtian Realm or higher, and they also had various magical treasures. For a time, Ah Chen and his group were at a disadvantage.
The nearest 105th Military Reclamation Regiment only has two Purple Demons in total.
This is because in recent years, the environment has improved and resources have become relatively abundant, giving rise to more Purple Demons. If it were ten years ago, with so many military reclamation regiments, one Purple Demon wouldn't be enough for each regiment.
Ah Chen and his group's idea was to lure these guys riding big birds as far away from the 105th Military Reclamation Regiment as possible, so that they wouldn't cause trouble for the regiment.
Therefore, they initially guided the battle in the opposite direction of their base, so much so that the military reclamation corps did not even realize that a battle was taking place there.
Seeing his side in a steady retreat, Ah Chen secretly took out a teleportation array, intending to call Matt and Mina to escape together.
Then he looked up and saw his sister rushing towards him.
Qilu and Wuyi had long been familiar with their master's decisiveness. Seeing her rush out, they immediately used their invincible abilities to protect her firmly.
At the same time, the high priest unleashed his strongest attack spell without hesitation.
The person he attacked was a young man riding a seventh-tier eagle owl. With the high priest's shrewd eye, he could tell at a glance that the young man was the backbone of the five.
The tactic of capturing the leader to capture the thief is always effective. Since Xi'er has those two protecting her, the High Priest naturally dares to fight without restraint.
The five members of the Cangluan family did not initially notice the approaching spirit boat.
Because Xi'er was carrying a top-grade spirit boat, and in order not to attract too much attention, she had an invisibility talisman affixed to the outside of her spirit boat.
These elite disciples might have been able to sense it during their leisure time, but since they were busy fighting at the moment, they naturally ignored it.
The young man in the lead, Song Zhiyuan, was waving the Soul-Capturing Golden Bell in his hand, intending to bewitch the fathead fish and cause its mount to make a mistake.
Then he felt a chill run down his spine. Driven by the instincts of a high-level cultivator, he immediately activated the life-saving Xuan Tong cauldron that his grandfather had given him.
The next second, a loud "thud!" rang out, and he, protected by the black bronze cauldron, was almost deafened by the sound.
This attack was launched by the high priest.
Just when Song Zhiyuan thought the attack was over, an aura of annihilation silently passed through the Xuan Tong Cauldron and seeped into his back.
Song Zhiyuan swayed, feeling a bone-chilling cold throughout his body. He couldn't help but tremble, and the Soul-Capturing Golden Bell slipped from his hand.
At the same time, his four companions also sensed the same bone-chilling cold as him, even though they had all activated their life-saving magical artifacts.
The five young men and women turned around at the same time and saw the handsome middle-aged man who had just rushed into the battle and the girl who exuded a holy aura.
Even though they had seen many beautiful women since childhood, they couldn't help but be captivated by the beauty of the girl in front of them at first sight.
Soft, bright silver curly hair cascaded over her shoulders, and beneath her slightly heroic eyebrows were a pair of bright, clear, sea-blue eyes, as bright and clear as the stars on a summer night.
Her skin was fair with a rosy glow, a healthy kind of beauty, with a delicate nose and rosy lips.
Although she wears no makeup, she surpasses countless beautiful girls with exquisite makeup.
At this moment, she was filled with anger, yet she was still so beautiful that it took one's breath away.
Among the five young people, there were three men and two women. The two girls couldn't help but secretly admire her: There is such an extraordinary beauty in the world!
When I'm around her, all I can feel is envy and jealousy.
What's more, there were three young men, and all six of them practically had their eyes glued to her.
The five men immediately made a decision: a truce!
While supporting himself with the life-saving bronze cauldron, Song Zhiyuan, the leader, shouted, "Everyone! Can we call a truce and hear me out first?"
"Why should we? You can fight whenever you want and call a truce whenever you want? Is it because you think you can't beat us now that we've brought reinforcements?" Xi'er retorted, dissatisfied.
"No, no, no! Actually, we are from the Cangluan family in the Upper Realm of Yunyuan. Our purpose in coming here is to select young elites for our family."
We were just testing their skills; we didn't mean any harm.
"After all, we had many opportunities to kill them, but we didn't. You can ask them if you don't believe me!" Song Zhiyuan said.
Xi'er turned her head to look at her brother, and A-Chen nodded to her, meaning that the other party had not lied.
Song Zhiyuan and his group initially wanted to subdue Achen and his group with their strength so that they could then logically propose taking them to the new world.
In this way, one can stand in a superior position and bestow favors upon the weak as the strong.
However, during the battle, they also discovered that Ah Chen and his group were all highly skilled and had considerable combat power.
Once we bring them all back, we'll have completed more than half of our mission.
Once Xi'er and the others joined the battle, Song Zhiyuan immediately realized that they could no longer subdue them by force.
He was able to become the backbone of the five-person team because he was smart enough.
Therefore, he decisively decided to cease hostilities to avoid a mutually destructive conflict.
"So, from which spatial rift did you sneak in?" Xi'er asked, glaring at him.
"To be honest, Miss, we came from that part of the seabed."
Although you have a master here who is skilled at repairing spatial rifts, we can tear space apart at any time if we want to.
The spiritual energy on your continent is too thin. Young talents like you are just wasting your time staying here.
Why not come with us to Yunyuan to film? You're sure to have a better future there!
Our patriarch treats young talents with the utmost favor. After you go there, you will be able to obtain more cultivation resources.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't miss it!" Song Zhiyuan said.
His voice was very infectious, and his expression was very sincere. Anyone who heard him would feel that he was doing it all for your own good.
Do you think of us as uncultured bumpkins who have never seen the world?
If you're only here to select talent, why did you send so many strange beasts to harm our people?
Moreover, they start fighting right away, and only when they can't win do they say it's for talent selection.
I can tell you're treating this place like your own backyard, letting the strange beasts in first.
On the one hand, it depletes our combat power; on the other hand, it forces us to kill weak beasts, thereby selecting high-quality beasts to become your contracted battle pets.
After releasing the strange beasts, we'll send you so-called elite family members here to subdue us with force.
Then they can justifiably plunder our resources, take away our best talents, and in the end, make us grateful.
"Because your area is rich in resources, we poor, remote villages can follow you and live a life of luxury!"
Xi'er's words made Song Zhiyuan blush, and at the same time he couldn't help but admire the intelligence of the girl in front of him.
She lives on such a barren continent, so why is she more noble and dignified than the young elites raised by these great families?
Although they felt a little ashamed, Song Zhiyuan and his colleagues were already used to this high-and-mighty way of selecting outstanding talents from lower-level interfaces.
After their true colors were exposed, he simply stopped pretending.
"Little girl, don't think you can be so arrogant just because you're a little more talented!"
To tell you the truth, since we've already chosen you, your only options are to obediently come with us or die.
Even if you manage to escape from the five of us today, there will be others eyeing you.
At least 85 people have come to your lower realm this time, and most of them are no less powerful than us, but their methods are more cruel than ours.
So think it over carefully: are you going to come with us obediently, or wait to be crippled by those people and then taken back tied up?
"Heh! You've finally decided to reveal your true nature?"
You people are clearly plunderers, yet you insist on pretending to be doing it for our own good!
"This hypocritical behavior is utterly disgusting!" Xi'er sneered.
Enraged by her attitude, Song Zhiyuan decided to use his most powerful offensive magic weapon—the Ice-Sealing Fan.
This magical artifact, once activated by injecting spiritual power, can instantly freeze everything within a radius of a hundred feet.
He had patiently persuaded Xi'er before, actually to lull them into a false sense of security so that he could activate the magic weapon when they were off guard.
However, when he poured in most of his spiritual power and was about to successfully activate the magic weapon, he found that his spiritual power was becoming sluggish.
He was also in a daze, a state that was very wrong, but he was powerless to stop the infusion of spiritual energy.
His companions reacted even worse, each one of them losing their minds.
Two young women started pointing at each other and hurling insults, almost coming to blows.
The other two men went even further, embracing each other and gazing deeply into each other's eyes, almost kissing passionately in front of everyone.
Seeing this, Ah Chen quickly reached out and covered Xi'er's eyes: "Don't look! This is not suitable for children!"
"You brat, what do you mean by 'not suitable for children'? I'm already over sixteen this year!"
"If this were in the mortal realm of the Misty Heaven, I'd be married and have children by now!" Xi'er said discontentedly.
It turns out that Fusheng and Ruomeng, who had been recuperating in a coma in the space, were awakened by the huge fluctuations of spiritual energy that Xi'er sensed when she encountered danger at the bottom of the sea.
However, seeing that they had just woken up, Xi'er refused to let them out, so they could only continue to recuperate.
But this time, they saw the situation outside from inside the space, so they secretly communicated with Xi'er, asking her to stall for time while the two of them quietly created an illusion.
The high priests and the others did not let their guard down, keeping a close eye on Song Zhiyuan's little tricks, preparing to use the feedback talisman made by Achen to send his attack back before he could launch it.
At the last moment, Song Zhiyuan barely managed to cut his palm with a sharp blade, using the pain to awaken his remaining consciousness and launch the attack.
However, due to the short time available, the power of the magical artifact could not be fully unleashed, and the area of the ice seal reached a radius of ten zhang.
As a result, the attack from the magical artifact was reflected back to him, freezing all five of them, along with the large bird they were riding.
Looking at the frozen enemy, Xi'er couldn't help but complain, "Hmph! What a waste of all the feedback talismans my brother drew!"
