This time, the Wang Family had suffered crippling losses. Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingling, Ye Haitang, and Purple Moon Fairy had all been injured, with Ye Haitang's injuries the most severe. Even Wang Tianwen's physical body had been destroyed.
Skythunder Hermit had activated a Fifth Order Talisman and exterminated a large number of Ghosts. The seven Heavenly Ghost Banners had been damaged, their grades falling to ordinary Magic Treasures. This was only natural. After all, the Heavenly Ghost Banners had relied on absorbing hundreds of thousands of Ghosts to ascend into Spirit Treasures. After one battle, most of those hundreds of thousands of Ghosts had been killed or wounded. It was no wonder that the seven Heavenly Ghost Banners had been damaged and fallen in grade.
If the Ghosts had not blocked a considerable amount of the damage, they would not merely have been gravely injured—they would have perished.
By then, most of the Wang Family clansmen had already retreated. Two Core Formation Stage guest elders had died beneath the Fifth Order Talisman. They were precisely the guest elders Fairy Cailian had divined. In the unseen workings of fate, Heaven had already decreed it.
"The enemies may very well come back for another strike. We can't stay on Azure Lotus Island. Retreat, quickly."
Wang Qingshan spoke in a deep voice. He had killed a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of his own, and although he had broken out of the formation, his injuries were far from light. He needed to find a place to recuperate.
More troublesome was that the spirituality of the Azure Glass Sword had been damaged. Fortunately, he possessed the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire. By nourishing the Azure Glass Sword with it, the Azure Lotus Sword would recover somewhat faster.
