Lights flickered within the transmission passage.
Batches of Dark Yuan Shen Race warriors teleported in. Ignoring their formations, each group charged after the retreating humans.

Lu Yang stood at the rear of the formation with Dirty Wine and the others. It was their first time seeing high-tier Celestials fight in such a manner.
