Chapter 1053 Leaving Yaochi City
Mo Yizhou also nodded, "That's right. No matter what, we have to be on guard against the likes of the You Clan and the Mu Family."
Luo Li nodded and said, "The Saint Lord of Yaochi said that he would tell the trial participants about the invasion of the Demon God Temple the day after tomorrow. After this matter is over, we should set off to return to the city."
"good!"
One day later——
The central square of Yaochi City.
The Holy Lord of Yao Chi stood on the high platform, looking at the trial participants below.
The Holy Lord of Yao Chi was dressed in white with fluttering sleeves, and his eyes were filled with solemnity.
She looked around at everyone, her voice cold and dignified, "Fellow trial-takers, although the Demon God Temple's invasion of the Yaochi Secret Realm has been repelled, the reasons behind this are worth pondering."
In the square, everyone held their breath and listened quietly.
After saying this, Yao Chi Saint Lord suddenly changed the subject, "But no matter what, it was our negligence that caused you all to encounter this kind of thing at the Immortal Conference held in my Yao Chi Holy Land."
She sighed softly, "Although no one was killed, no matter what, as the Holy Lord of Yaochi Holy Land, I must give you an explanation."
She paused, her tone slowing down slightly, "Although this trial was interrupted due to an accident, everyone has performed excellently, and Yao Chi will naturally give you corresponding rewards."
When everyone heard this, they looked happy and bowed to express their gratitude.
The Holy Lord of Yao Chi nodded slightly, his eyes vaguely swept in the direction of Luo Li, and then turned and left.
After the Holy Lord left, the trial participants in the square dispersed in groups of three or four, talking among themselves.
Luo Li folded her arms and looked at the scattered crowd, "Let's go."
Xuan Mu looked up at the sky and said softly, "Yes, it's time for us to leave."
Luo Li nodded: "Let's go, pack up, and set off tomorrow. We can't return to the city."
As the sun sets, everyone's figures become slender.
The next morning, Yaochi City was shrouded in mist, and the holy mountain in the distance was looming.
Luo Li and her group packed up and said goodbye to Fu Yu who came to see them off at the city gate.
Fu Yu, no longer displaying his usual arrogance, solemnly handed Luo Li a jade slip. "Luo Li, the Holy Lord asked me to pass this on to you. If you need anything, crush the slip, and Yao Chi Holy Land will do its utmost to help you."
Luo Li took the jade slip and felt the immense soul power contained within it. She nodded slightly and said, "Thank the Holy Lord for me."
Fu Yu lowered his voice and said, "The Tianji Pavilion predicted last night that the Demon God Temple would make some moves in the southern border of the Northern Continent in the near future. You must be careful on your way back."
Bei Mingyu frowned when he heard this. "Southern Territory? Isn't that right in the direction of the city?"
A sharp glint flashed across Song Wanbai's gentle eyes. "It seems this journey may not be peaceful."
Lan Xiaoxiao summoned her contracted beast and patted his head. "Who cares if they're from the Demon God Temple? If they dare to come, I'll beat them to a pulp!"
Everyone smiled at each other and jumped onto the back of the monster.
"Goodbye." Luo Li bowed to Fu Yu, and the Ice Phoenix flapped its wings and took off, disappearing into the clouds in an instant.
Fu Yu watched their figures disappear into the clouds before turning around and returning to Yaochi City.
High in the sky, the wind is cold.
About a day later, they were approaching the territory of the city.
Luo Li stood on the back of the Ice Phoenix, her clothes fluttering, and her eyes looked into the distance calmly.
Xuan Mu stood beside her and whispered, "What do you think of the Tianji Pavilion prophecy that Fu Yu just mentioned?"
Luo Li stroked the jade slip with her fingertips and said calmly, "The Demon God Palace is treacherous. Since the Heavenly Secret Pavilion predicted that they would make a move in the southern border, it's probably not just a coincidence."
Mu Ze folded his arms and snorted coldly: "If they really dare to come, it will be a good opportunity to test my newly realized soul skills."
Song Wanbai frowned slightly and said gently, "It's better to be cautious. The Demon God Palace's invasion of Yaochi City this time clearly has great intentions, but we still don't understand their true intentions. Now that they're targeting the southern border, I'm afraid there's something else behind it."
Lan Xiaoxiao patted the contracted beast beneath her and said with a grin, "What are you afraid of? If an enemy comes, we'll fight him; if a flood comes, we'll block it with earth! Besides—"
She blinked, "With A-Li here, we won't suffer any loss!"
Luo Li looked at her helplessly and was about to speak when her expression suddenly froze and her gaze suddenly turned to the distance.
Xuan Mu followed her gaze and frowned slightly: "That is...?"
In the distant clouds, I saw several dark shadows approaching rapidly, and a cold aura was faintly revealed.
Bei Mingyu's eyes sharpened, his hand already on the hilt of the sword: "You actually came."
The shadows approached, revealing to be several people from the Demon God Temple dressed in black robes. The man in the lead had a sinister expression, a sneer on his lips. "Where are you going, everyone?"
Luo Li's eyes were cold, and she didn't answer. She just moved her fingertips slightly, and a ray of cold light quietly condensed.
Lan Xiaoxiao curled her lips: "So much nonsense, if you want to fight, then fight!"
The black-robed man smiled sinisterly: "Originally, the elder ordered me to torture you, but since you are in a hurry to leave, I will give you a ride!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, and a dark demonic energy transformed into a giant palm, slapping down at everyone fiercely!
"boom--!"
The Ice Phoenix let out a long cry and flapped its wings. The biting cold air instantly condensed into an ice wall to block the attack.
At the same time, Mu Ze's sword flashed like thunder, heading straight for the black-robed man's face!
The battle is about to begin!
Luo Li's figure flashed, and she stood in the air, with soul power surging in her palms. She said coldly: "The dog from the Demon God Temple is really haunting."
The black-robed man dodged Yue Hanchuan's sword and said with a sinister grin, "Luo Li, do you think you can escape unscathed this time? If you ruin the Demon God Temple's plans, you'll end up in a state of suffering!"
Luo Li's lips curled slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Try?"
Before she finished speaking, she flicked her fingertips, and a dazzling light golden blade tore through the sky and slashed straight down!
At the same time, dozens of great overlord monsters suddenly appeared, and dozens of great overlord soul skills were instantly blasted out.
The black-robed man's pupils suddenly shrank as he hastily summoned a bone shield. The moment the light blade, spirit skill, and bone shield collided, a sharp, shattering sound echoed through the sky.
"Puff--" The man in black robe spat out a mouthful of black blood and staggered back three steps.
He stared at the spider-web-like cracks on the shield and said in a sharp voice, "This is impossible!"
Song Wanbai shook his head, "It seems that the Demon God Temple is not very well informed."
The only people who escaped back this time were the elder who only saw Luo Li and the others, and some others who were scattered in Yao Chi City. They really didn't know that Luo Li won by "group fighting".
"Asshole!" The black-robed man suddenly crushed the bone whistle around his neck, "Come out!"
The sea of clouds surged violently, and dozens of black-robed men appeared stepping on bone birds.
What was even more terrifying was that a jet-black coffin appeared behind them, and the lid of the coffin was slowly sliding open, revealing a pale woman with long jet-black hair and closed eyes inside.
