Immortal Zhilan stared in disbelief at the immortal soldier battle formation retreating in disarray through the passage ahead.
She had originally held some objections to the Heavenly Dao Tablet's "using a sledgehammer to crack a nut" approach. After all, the immortal armor worn by the immortal soldier battle formation was extremely precious. They had deployed several hundred sets at once; with the four of them cooperating, encircling and suppressing even a Celestial Immortal would have been more than enough.
What difficulty could there be in dealing with a Mechanical Fiend at the True Immortal Realm?
Thus, the instant Immortal Zhilan was attacked and confirmed the opponent's true strength, she made her decision and sent eighty-one immortal soldiers in formation to support that fellow Daoist.
She raised a hand to stop her junior sister, though it was not because she wanted her junior sister to avoid danger.
She simply was not in good condition and could not claim the first merit herself, so she did not want her sister to snatch it either.

She had never expected it.
One enormous sphere of light after another appeared within the range of her Immortal Sense. Then, right before her eyes, the fiend's figure charged into the spheres of light.
A True Immortal had died just like that?!
Seeing that things were wrong, the eighty-one immortal soldiers immediately retreated once the spheres of light weakened slightly. They activated their battle formation with what little immortal power remained and fled at high speed, utterly bedraggled.
Then, the phantom of a colossal beast suddenly appeared behind them.
Immortal Zhilan had never seen a Pillar-Class Blade Beast.
Yet at that moment, a trace of instinctive terror rose within her heart.
That terrifying beast charged forward!
Under Immortal Zhilan's Immortal Sense, as well as the Immortal Sense
