Noticing a figure leaving from the other side, the woman beside Tree Venerable showed a puzzled expression.
In a flash, she appeared behind the Shadow Race warriors, intending to stop Sea King from leaving.
Seeing this, Shadow Kill immediately swung the War Blade in his hand. Countless black shadow blades crisscrossed, cutting off the woman's path forward.
The battle erupted at that moment.
All the Shadow Race warriors roared and stepped forward. Their bodies turned into phantoms as they collectively charged at the Yellow Springs Merchant Guild gods ahead.
At the same time, Shadow Kill intercepted the female Divine Envoy of the Yellow Springs Merchant Guild. With a flicker of his body, he split into hundreds of black shadow clones that trapped her in place, trying to create an opportunity for Sea King to escape.
The female Divine Envoy was still focused on the departing Sea King. Though trapped, she showed no panic. She gently brushed her forehead with her left hand, and a purple phantom immediately emerged from the divine mark and shot toward Sea King.
Shadow Kill's heart lurched when he saw this, and he immediately tried to stop the purple phantom.
However, the instant the purple phantom touched the War Blade in Shadow Kill's hand, it passed straight through as if it had no physical form.
The female Divine Envoy gave Shadow Kill no further chance to interfere. With a wave of her hand, she scattered hundreds of tiny purple cords, pinning all of Shadow Kill's clones in place.
Unable to break free from the cords for the moment, Shadow Kill could only watch helplessly as the purple phantom flew toward Sea King in the distance. His eyes nearly split with fury.
"Stop struggling. The Yellow Springs Merchant Guild is no longer the Yellow Springs Merchant Guild
