Chapter 563: Die or Escape
Luo Li curled her lips slightly. It seemed that she had made the right bet.
After a while, the flames began to gradually dim, and Xie Shiyuan and the others fell to the ground with lingering fear, looking a little disheveled and suffering some minor injuries.
The situation is similar for the other descenders. The most unlucky one among them is probably Li Sha. He is almost like a beggar now. The burns on his body alone are very serious, not to mention the internal injuries.
The flames around them had not yet completely gone out, so they gathered together back to back, waiting for the flames to completely go out.
The people in Tianyu Palace were in an even worse situation. Ji Fusheng was seriously injured, and there were only about thirty other high-level spiritual masters left, and they all suffered serious injuries.
Finally, the flames died down, the dust settled, and the surroundings were filled with scorched earth and lingering heat, as if even the air was trembling.
The once invincible Lihuo Qilin disappeared, leaving behind a messy secret room and more than forty people in a miserable state.
Luo Li stood there, her clothes were a little messy, but her eyes were unusually bright, as if she could see through all illusions.
Xie Shiyuan, Wen Xingyan, and the other two looked around. Though their faces hadn't fully regained their color, their eyes had a hint of resilience. They exchanged a glance, and without further words, the tacit understanding of living and dying together was deeply engraved in their hearts.
Li Sha looked a little embarrassed. He stood up with difficulty. His clothes were tattered and his face was covered with black ash and bloodstains. However, he kept his back straight so as not to let anyone see the severity of his injuries.
After all, he knew that there was more than one person present who wanted him dead. If he died and his body was injured, Xie Shiyuan would probably get rid of him first when he returned to the gods.
Xie Shiyuan walked over quickly and looked at Luo Li with a frown, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Luo Li shook her head and said with a smile, "Sister, are you hurt?"
Xie Shiyuan patted his chest. His face had turned rosy after taking the pill. "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury."
Luo Li nodded, then looked at Wen Xingyan and the other two. They shook their heads at her, "We're not injured either."
Sang Yu and the others were all slightly injured and took the pills with lingering fear.
They all looked confused, not understanding why Lihuo Qilin didn't kill him.
When he had the upper hand, he left...
Sang Yu asked doubtfully, "Could it be that something more important happened, so Lihuo Qilin left?"
"Perhaps," Wen Xingyan said slowly, his voice remarkably clear in the silence, "as Sang Yu said, this area hides a crisis more pressing than our own."
He speculated, "Perhaps the Lihuo Qilin also sensed some kind of call, or some kind of threat to the secret realm, and left in a hurry."
Xuan Mu crossed his arms. "No matter what the situation is, it's a good thing for us. At least he's not targeting us anymore."
After Ji Fusheng took the pill, his face still didn't look very good. He forced himself to stand up and looked at the people he brought with him, only these few people were left. His face was so dark that it was almost unbearable to look at.
His voice was deep, filled with anger and anxiety, and even a little trembling and panting due to his injuries. "I'm afraid it's Luo Li! Could it be that she found that thing?!"
Li Sha stood aside, trying his best to regulate his breathing, and every breath was accompanied by unspeakable pain in his chest.
The wounds caused by the Lihuo Qilin were difficult to heal, and with the elixirs he had available, he could only recover little by little.
He clenched his teeth, not letting any pain leak out, but his deep eyes flickered with a complex light - a desire for life and a covetousness for the thing that Ji Fusheng mentioned.
That's Chaos Jade! It's actually on this lowly continent.
He took two more pills, which barely allowed him to walk normally. He stood up and looked around. "We came here for that thing. What do you think?"
Sang Yu and the others looked unhappy. They came here with a mission, and no matter how reluctant they were, they had to go on, otherwise it would bring disaster to the family.
Li Sha obviously knew this, so he dared to be so unscrupulous.
Di Chen pressed his forehead and said, "Now that the teleportation array has been destroyed, it won't be easy to return the same way. I think we should all rest for a while before continuing inside."
Ji Fusheng wanted to say something else, but was forced back by Di Chen's gaze.
Di Chen smiled slightly, "Palace Master Ji, look at the people you brought with you. The remaining people are just Spirit Emperors. You, a Divine King, have been seriously injured. You should at least care about your subordinates."
Xuan Mu glanced at Ji Fusheng and sneered mercilessly, "So this is how Palace Master Ji treats his men. No wonder he managed to lead so many men to desert in the face of danger."
Ji Fusheng clenched his fists, not daring to refute, and could only swallow his anger.
Those traitors! How dare they betray Tianyu Palace! When he gets out, he won't let any of them go!
He turned and looked at the remaining men who were cowering behind with timid expressions. He was furious, but tried hard to control himself.
Finally, he said in a cold voice, "Let's do as the Holy Son said. Everyone should rest here for a few hours and set off again after your injuries have healed."
As if stimulated by what Xuan Mu said, he said calmly, "If you don't have enough pills, come to me and get some!"
The remaining people from Tianyu Palace looked at each other and whispered, "Yes, thank you, Palace Master!"
Luo Li raised her eyebrows and said, Ji Fusheng, it’s too late to be a good person now.
However, she did not expect that even at this point, these descenders were still willing to follow Ji Fusheng in. It seemed that the gods who arranged for them to come down had a very high status, otherwise they would not be able to suppress so many forces.
Everyone had different expressions and rested on the spot.
Luo Li sat next to Xie Shiyuan, looking at the big hole created by the Lihuo Qilin, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
———
At this time, beside the coast of the Beiming Sea.
Nearly two hundred people fell out of the teleportation array. Looking at the familiar blue sky, everyone was about to cry with joy, "Oh my God! We made it out alive!"
The others also had expressions of having survived a disaster. The Qilin's strength was too terrifying, and they had no power to fight back at all. Ji Fusheng couldn't blame them.
There are dozens of people here who have obtained the Divine King's Weapons. The moment they come out alive, they can't wait to summon their own Divine King's Weapons.
However, they found that they could not summon it!
Their faces suddenly changed, confused and panicked. "Why is the Divine King Artifact missing?! We clearly signed a contract!"
At this moment, hundreds of people suddenly rushed out from the village near the coast and surrounded the group of people from Tianyu Palace.
Looking at this group of miserable people, the elder of Cang Yanhai sneered and waved his hand, "Tie them up."
