"You little rascal, stop your nonsense! When it's your turn, I'll let you go." The Queen Mother of the West scolded, but focused her attention on the situation of the surrounding battlefield and ignored Wang Yao.
At this moment, Hui Shuo, Qin Su, Wu Ying, and the others were scattered around Wang Yao and the Queen Mother of the West, killing the demons who rushed out from among the demon plants and were about to pounce on the Queen Mother of the West and Wang Yao one by one.
"You lot, come here and hide behind your great-aunt. If the sky falls, your great-aunt will hold it up. Why are you showing off?" Wang Yao shouted at the group.
After hearing Wang Yao's words, the group looked at each other, wanting to retreat, but they were surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it wasn't necessarily safe for the Queen Mother of the West to be behind them. After hesitating for a long time, they finally stayed in their original positions, protecting the Queen Mother of the West and Wang Yao from the demons' attack.
"Damn it, how dare you disobey my orders? Are you trying to rebel? Hui Shuo, if you keep fighting like this, believe me, I'll send you away right now! And Wu Ying, Qin Su, believe me..."
Seeing this, Wang Yao became even angrier and roared at the top of his lungs.
"Stop arguing, let's go!" Wang Yao was cursing merrily when, unexpectedly, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly grabbed him and headed straight for the battlefield.
"...Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Is the Decapitation Demon Lord here? Let me go right now, grandma! How could I possibly be a match for the Decapitation Demon Lord? Aren't you openly murdering your commander? The Heavenly Emperor won't let you off the hook if he finds out..."
When Wang Yao saw the Queen Mother of the West leading him into the battlefield, he thought that the Decapitated Demon Lord had appeared and that the Queen Mother of the West wanted him to go up and fight. He was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. Wang Yao had seen the power of the Decapitated Demon Lord before. He was like a light bulb, running around everywhere and appearing and disappearing like a ghost.
If Wang Yao were to face the Decapitation Demon Lord, he would likely lose his life before even seeing where the opponent was.
"Don't worry, Xia Geng hasn't arrived yet..." Xi Wangmu comforted Wang Yao as she walked forward.
"No... she didn't come... then you..." Wang Yao was a little confused. Didn't the Queen Mother of the West just say that she wouldn't participate in the war? How could she change her mind so suddenly?
"...Whether Xia Geng comes out or not is not important. We must hurry up and get on our way. How can we fight the Demon City if we don't hurry?" the Queen Mother of the West continued.
"On the way..." Wang Yao calmed down and looked around. He found that the Queen Mother of the West was leading him to travel rapidly through the battlefield. It seemed that the previous attack by the demons had blocked the path indicated by the navigation bead. Now, after the fierce battle between the two sides, the path was gradually cleared again.
"But... what about them?" Wang Yao looked around blankly at the fairies, ghosts, and divine soldiers who were engaged in fierce battle.
"I didn't invite them in. Since they're here, let's have a fight. Otherwise, they'll have come for nothing... Freeze!" The Queen Mother of the West said casually, then pointed to the side. A fierce demon flapping its wings and pouncing on her suddenly froze in place.
"Isn't this irresponsible? If we just leave, what will happen to them after they finish their battle? Your daughter doesn't have a navigation bead to guide her, so we can't just let them continue to mess around in this Eight Gates Killing Formation, can we?" Wang Yao said anxiously.
"So we need to hurry! Once we take down the Demon City, they'll be free..."
As she spoke, the Queen Mother of the West flicked her fingers, immobilizing all the demons who rushed at her. Those who were unlucky enough to be attacked were immediately killed by their rivals who saw an opportunity to take advantage.
Since the Queen Mother of the West was going to leave, she must have clearly seen the way. Sure enough, there were no demons blocking her way. But with the entire battlefield spread out, it was not so easy for the Queen Mother of the West and Wang Yao to pass through the battlefield unimpeded and leave without their clothes touching them.
Demons kept rushing towards the Queen Mother of the West and Wang Yao from both sides.
The old woman was only concerned with her own actions, completely ignoring the demon who was lunging at Wang Yao. One of the demonic warriors pounced on Wang Yao, its ugly face almost touching his own.
The old woman pretended not to see it, and Wang Yao had no choice but to use "Yu Jin" to kill the demon.
"Hey, it's not good to be so selfish as an immortal. Your immobilization spell is really useful, why can't you use it on me?" Wang Yao asked angrily.
"You little brat, you know how to be selfish? You have your own methods, why do you need my help? Are you the selfish one or am I the selfish one?" The Queen Mother of the West retorted righteously.
Oh dear! I didn't expect this old woman to be in the right? Wang Yao wanted to explain to the Queen Mother of the West that he, Wang Yao, had no intention of breaking the formation at all. He was dragged into the formation entirely by the old woman's coercion, so the old woman had an obligation to protect his safety, not that he was being selfish.
But the demons that kept attacking him were too much for him to handle, and for a moment he couldn't speak.
Those demons who came to their deaths could be easily killed with a single strike of the golden sword. However, those with slightly higher cultivation levels could not be killed with just one or two strikes of the golden sword. Unbeknownst to him, several demons with considerable cultivation levels had gathered around Wang Yao, leaving him struggling to defend himself and gradually putting him in grave danger.
He wanted to stop and have a proper exchange with the old woman, but she walked very fast and showed no intention of stopping. Helpless, he could only take out the red thread and start making up his own words one by one.
The spiritual energy consumption of "Controlling Gold" is so low that it is negligible, but the consumption of "Dong La Xi Che" is much higher than that of the Five Elements Escape Technique. Of course, Wang Yao was unwilling to use it easily, but he had no choice. He was being dragged around by the old woman, and if he wanted to ensure his safety, he could only do it this way.
Otherwise, if he were really chopped into a pile of minced meat by those demon cubs, the old woman would definitely throw him on the ground and run away as fast as she could.
