Chapter 910 - 772: Heart Vomit Sword
A group of high-level Demon Path leaders were not afraid of the large numbers of each team, as those forces were just like that, unable to stop them.
They only feared the unknown circumstances, not knowing what suddenly caused such a commotion, worrying that someone might be deliberately targeting them.
Gui Cang Sect Master paced back and forth and said, "What exactly is happening? Haven't you two figured out the situation yet?"
Lianshan Sect Master and Tianyi Sect Leader either remained silent or shook their heads, and the atmosphere in the cave was somewhat oppressive.
Just then, another figure flashed in. It was none other than Su Mian, looking a bit frail.
Seeing the three sects gathered, she hesitated for a moment about whether she should reveal new information and thus moved to a corner to secretly inform her sect's leader.
The leader, upon receiving her signal, immediately relayed a message to Tianyi Sect Leader, who then exclaimed, "I'll go out and check personally."
Su Mian and the masked leader promptly followed.
The sharp-eyed Lianshan Sect Master and Gui Cang Sect Master quickly perceived something.
Gui Cang Sect Master, dressed in a white robe, let out a cold snort, "At a time like this, if we don't act in unison, neither of us will fare well."
Upon hearing this, Tianyi Sect Leader and his group stopped, hesitated slightly, then turned to Su Mian and asked, "Speak, what's going on?"
Su Mian truthfully revealed, "The situation outside might be related to Shi Chun. He holds some tokens and is hiding in the Extreme Abyss for safety. The Heavenly Court Team lost the advantage of Dongguo Shou and wants to avoid other teams' sharpness; thus, they're all heading to the Extreme Abyss, most likely under Shi Chun's suggestion. The critical point is that the Heavenly Court Team has gradually found a path map of the Extreme Abyss, allowing them to enter safely, which is likely provided by Shi Chun."
Upon hearing this, the group inside pondered briefly. Lianshan Sect Master gravely asked, "How did Shi Chun acquire a safe path map of the Extreme Abyss? Oh, 'Desolate Broken Blade' is in your possession; Shi Chun must be from your line, right?"
Tianyi Sect Leader slightly shook his head, "This guy has remarkable abilities. I wish he were ours, but unfortunately, he is not. If he were ours, would he be able to create such a crisis for Tianyi?"
Saying this made the other two Sect Masters consider likewise.
Gui Cang Sect Master was also confused, "Then where did he get the safe path map?"
Tianyi Sect Leader turned to Su Mian, eyes behind the mask examining her intensely, and Su Mian quickly shook her head, indicating it wasn't from her.
Then everyone, one after another, analyzed the situation but still couldn't uncover the truth.
From outside, the sound of fighting emerged again. The female Gui Cang Sect Master decisively said, "Regardless of what happened, we can't stay here. If people manage to block us in, even if just one person escapes, it would be a big problem."
Lianshan Sect Master asked, "Are we leaving the Demon Altar behind?"
"Focus on the present first. You can take the opportunity if you want," Gui Cang Sect Master mocked coldly, fearing for her identity to be exposed, eager to escape, and thus instructed her faction, "Remember, if you encounter teams from the Five Battle Teams, better suffer injuries than expose your capabilities, just barely enough to escape."
"Understood." Her followers responded successively.
As soon as the decision was made, the others hesitated briefly before also gathering their people and evacuating.
A group of Demon Path forces entrenched here was surprisingly driven away by a bunch of small soldiers.
With their strength, they encountered no accidents during the retreat and quickly slipped out of the Extreme Abyss.
Oddly enough, not long after their departure, the command center of the Four Great Royal Court Teams, realizing something was wrong, also successively issued orders for their forces to withdraw from the Extreme Abyss.
No choice, realizing they were manipulated by Manxi, a massive number of troops continuing in the unfamiliar terrain of Extreme Abyss would easily fall into a trap.
Even if they withdrew, the situation still developed according to Manxi's plan.
Abandoning the assault on the Heavenly Court forces, the Four Great Royal Courts wouldn't just sit idle but quickly set up mutual targeting arrangements...
In this desolate, smoke-filled area, dead silent, animal bones scattered across the ground.
A group of cloaked, masked men descended from the sky into the poison smoke, among them was a white-robed woman, one of the high-level Demon Path leaders.
Gui Cang Sect Master glanced around, saying, "Chances of others arriving in this place now are slim."
Implying they should temporarily hide here, but for safety, she still waved her sleeve to signal, "Go check it out."
Immediately, three people's eyes glowed red, activating Demon Eye vision, searching in three directions. Anyone active here couldn't escape their eyes.
One person headed westward, encountering a vast canyon where the fog intensified. He floated inside, swiftly flying to scout, stopping abruptly at a steep section, his red gaze fixated on a crack in the cliff.
For no other reason, he sensed human Qi lingering at the crack, with none around, indicating someone might be hiding inside.
He didn't rashly act, quickly took out a Mother-child Talisman to send a message.
His flying noise was also heard by the hidden person inside the crack, who swiftly poked outside to observe—it was none other than the secretly alarmed Han Bao.
Unfortunately, the place Han Bao deemed safe was also analyzed by the Demon Path leaders as relatively safe.
After exchanging glances, Han Bao quickly surveyed the surroundings, spotting no others, he immediately lunged forward to capture the opponent.
His presence in this location couldn't be leaked.
Daring to strike first was due to his confidence. On this Battle of Great Pardon's battlefield, apart from the top-tier individuals, he didn't consider his strength inferior to anyone else.
The masked men who came to investigate did not engage him, instead they swiftly leaped up and flew out of the canyon.
Han Bao also hurriedly chased out, but as soon as he exited the canyon, he immediately stopped, because he saw a group of people flying towards him.
Some wore strange iron masks, some wore silver masks, others were covered with white gauze, just the imposing aura of their arrival was unusual.
"Han Bao..." the masked Su Mian exclaimed in surprise.
Tianyi Sect Leader turned his head and asked, "Who?"
A group of high-level Demon Path members did not recognize Han Bao.
Su Mian explained, "He's the one Xuanji Token Master brought to protect his daughter Mulan Qingqing."
Tianyi Sect Leader made a sound of understanding, his gaze returned to Han Bao, eyes already showing malice, "A disciple of Han Jia Bu."
Seeing that someone over there recognized him and mentioned Mulan Qingqing, and feeling that the aura of these people didn't seem like they were here to fight, he suddenly felt something was amiss.
There were many people, and silencing them seemed impossible. He knew his main duty, suddenly flashed back, intending to take Mulan Qingqing from the mountain cave and leave quickly.
However, he had seen the people he shouldn't have, and the group from the Demon Path wouldn't spare him.
No need for command, a masked person beside Tianyi Sect Leader struck out a palm in the air.
Fortunately, Han Bao at the crucial moment displayed the 'Mad Demon Transformation,' enveloped in the mad demon's virtual shadow, which urgently protected him.
Yet, that attacking palm power was concentrated and did not disperse, its power immense.
With a boom, just as he was about to leap into the canyon, Han Bao was struck into a virtual shadow, shot across to the opposite side of the canyon, crashing to the ground, bouncing up again.
Blood seeping from his nostrils, he stared in shock at the aggressor, shouting solemnly, "Heavenly Immortal Realm, who are you, daring to intrude upon the Battle of Great Pardon battlefield?"
He was well aware that against similar realm cultivation, it would be difficult for empty-handed palm power to send him, who had displayed Mad Demon Transformation, flying.
His answer came only in the form of a swiftly approaching figure, the masked person struck again, Han Bao knew he couldn't escape from the Heavenly Immortal expert, he summoned a pair of hammers out of thin air, swinging them angrily.
The masked person opened five claws, five streams of Demonic Qi resembling Flying Dragons shot out, entangling the heavy hammers and wrapping around Han Bao's entire body, making escape impossible.
The virtual shadow of Mad Demon Transformation upon contact with Demonic Qi instantly changed color, as if absorbing some violent material, its color quickly turned red, the virtual shadow gradually materialized, as if red hair began to grow, its form truly resembling an awakened mad demon.
The demonic qi released by the masked person was quickly absorbed by Han Bao's mad demon virtual shadow, it could be seen that Han Bao's resistance strength seemed to rise rapidly, the heavy hammers under counter-pressure.
However, Han Bao was shocked, saying, "You are of the Demon Path?"
He didn't know where he went wrong, how he kept attracting the Demon Path, he was clearly cautious this time.
The masked person sneered coldly, "Haven't seen Han Jia Bu's Mad Demon Transformation in action in years, they all say Mad Demon Transformation can counter Demon Skill, today let you see how my 'Heart Vomit Sword' counters your Han Family's Mad Demon Transformation..."
As the words fell, suddenly opened his mouth, a flash of blood light emitted from it, hitting the mad demon virtual shadow and disappearing in a wave.
Ding dong, the sound was small, like the clear sound of water drops in a dark ravine.
Han Bao's eyes widened, at his heart's position, a blood flower was rapidly spreading.
His body's mad demon virtual shadow quickly disappeared.
The masked person flicked his sleeve, hands behind back, watching Han Bao swaying unsteadily to the ground, stumbling a few steps, unable to stabilize, tilting and falling to the ground, staring, body twitching, blood seeping from mouth and nose, face full of pain and distress, unwilling to die unseeing.
Seemingly unwilling to believe this was his final fate.
Afterwards, another blood light shot out from the wound on Han Bao's chest, rapidly rolling into a red pill and flashing into the masked person's mouth, the masked person gulped it down.
The group on the other side of the canyon witnessed this, Tianyi Sect Leader said, "Since he's here to protect Mulan Jin's daughter, he's here, could it be..."
No need to say more, immediately someone flew into the canyon, intruded into the crevasse cave, where they found a Magic Artifact maintaining cleanliness, naturally, they also found the unconscious Mulan Qingqing within.
Soon, Mulan Qingqing was carried out.
Su Mian saw this and immediately said, "That's right, it's Mulan Jin's daughter, Mulan Qingqing."
Lianshan Sect Master laughed heartily, "How unexpected! To actually catch the daughter of an old nemesis. Forget it, if you take it seriously, Mulan Jin can even kill his own wife, don't expect to use his daughter to threaten him, just deal with her directly. Also don't let him know who did it, otherwise he will certainly take revenge extensively, let him not find out, let him be forever entangled in pain, that's what makes it enjoyable."
Tianyi Sect Leader nodded upon hearing this, indicating approval.
Thus, the person who held Mulan Qingqing immediately prepared to twist her neck, but the always silent Gui Cang Sect Master urgently shouted out, "Hold on!"
The crowd turned to look upon hearing, not knowing his intention.
Gui Cang Sect Master pondered for a while, then explained, "Do you really want to give up the Demon Altar? Rather let the people from Four Great Royal Courts find this girl, maybe they can use her to force out the Heavenly Court team in Extreme Abyss."
All the people upon hearing had thoughtful expressions.
