Hu Shu took a deep breath and broke the silence in the passage. "We can't stay here for a long time. Western Sect may catch up at any time. I have observed that there are several forked roads in the ruins passage. We can divide our forces into several paths., distract their attention, and then meet at the exit of the ruins." After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. However, just as they were preparing to take action, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the distance, and Western Sect seemed to be catching up.
Hu Shu glared and shouted in a low voice, "It's too late to divide the troops. Everyone, follow me and rush out!" After that, he unfolded Invincible Domain with all his strength, forming a solid shield to protect everyone. Domain Light played loudly, in sharp contrast with the dim light in the passage, which made people's eyes hurt. Hu Shu led everyone to rush forward, and the wind in the passage whistled in their ears, as if it was also cheering for their nervousness.
The figures of the Western Sect masters gradually became clear, their faces were ferocious, and the magic weapons in their hands shone with cold light. "Want to run away? It's not that easy!" The leader of the masters roared, and a black beam of light shot towards Hu Shu and the others..Hu Shu snorted coldly, and controlled Invincible Domain to rush forward. The light beam collided with the field, making a deafening roar. The entire passage trembled violently, and gravel fell down one after another, hitting everyone, causing a stinging pain.
Yin Wenjiao held Divine Artifact tightly, and the light emitted by Divine Artifact illuminated her slightly nervous face. She looked at Hu Shu's back, and a firm feeling surged in her heart. Faith, she must take Divine Artifact away safely with him. She used her magic power to inject part of the power into Divine Artifact, and Divine Artifact shined brighter, seeming to be helping them break out.
Jie Sect Disciples and Human Race soldiers were not afraid. They held weapons and stood ready. "Even if we risk our lives, we can't let Western Sect succeed!" a Jie Sect Disciple shouted, his voice full of determination. Everyone responded in unison, and their morale was boosted.
Hu Shu was resisting Western Sect's attacks while looking for opportunities to break out. He was keenly aware that although the Western Sect masters' attacks were fierce, there were some loopholes in their cooperation in this narrow passage. Hu Shu saw the opportunity and led the crowd towards the side where Western Sect's defense was weaker. With a wave of Treasure Sword in his hand, a sharp Sword Qi shot out, knocking back several Western Sect's in front.
Everyone took advantage of the situation and moved forward and started a close fight with the Western Sect. The space in the passage was narrow, and the casting of spells was restricted to a certain extent. There was more of a clanging sound of weapons intersecting. Hu Shu's figure was like electricity, and Treasure Sword danced in his hands like an airtight one. Wherever they went, Western Sect people retreated one after another. Yin Wenjiao, under the protection of Hu Shu, used the power of Divine Artifact to emit beams of light from time to time, disturbing the sight of the Western Sect people.
After a fierce fight, Hu Shu and others finally broke through the encirclement of the Western Sect and ran towards the exit of the ruins. The masters of the Western Sect were chasing after them, but Hu Shu and others were more familiar with the terrain of the ruins. They turned left and right in the intricate passages, gradually widening the distance from the Western Sect.
When Hu Shu and others finally saw the bright light at the exit of the ruins, they all felt the joy of surviving the disaster. They rushed out without hesitation, and the fresh air outside hit their faces, making people feel relaxed and happy. Hu Shu looked back at the ruins and made sure that Western Sect had not caught up, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone did not dare to stay and quickly returned to ZhaoGe City. Along the way, everyone was silent, partly because of exhaustion, and partly because they were thinking about how to deal with the Western Sect next. When they stepped into ZhaoGe City, the guards at the city gate cheered when they saw their safe return.
Returning to ZhaoGe City's meeting hall, Hu Shu and others sat together and began to discuss how to use Divine Artifact to improve Human Race Fortune. The candlelight in the hall swayed, projecting everyone's figures on the wall, making them look a little dignified.
Hu Shu was the first to speak, "This Divine Artifact is hard-won. We must make good use of it to improve Human Race's luck. I think we can use the power of Divine Artifact to create a more superior Cultivation Environment for our people." His voice was firm and powerful, and his eyes revealed his expectations for Future of the Human Race.
Yin Wenjiao nodded in agreement. "Yes, Divine Artifact contains powerful power. We can build Cultivation Formation in the city and introduce the power of Divine Artifact into the magic circle, so that the clansmen can get twice the result with half the effort when practicing." As she spoke, she gestured with her hands to show the general shape of the magic circle.
A Human Race elder frowned and said, "But, will this arouse the covetousness of other forces? Western Sect will definitely not give up. We must take precautions." There was concern in his eyes. After all, Western Sect's strength should not be underestimated.
Jie Sect Disciples also expressed their opinions. "We Interception Sect can send people to assist Human Race in guarding ZhaoGe City and jointly resist Western Sect's attacks." said a Jie Sect Disciple, his words full of loyalty.
Hu Shu glanced at Jie Sect Disciple gratefully and said, "Thank you all fellow Daoists Interception Sect for your support. We can also use the power of Divine Artifact to develop some new Cultivation Methods so that Human Race practitioners can improve their strength faster."
Everyone talked to each other and gradually formulated a series of detailed plans. They decided to build a large Cultivation Formation in the center of ZhaoGe City, with Yin Wenjiao responsible for guiding The power of Divine Artifact is injected into the magic circle. At the same time, the elders of Human Race and the masters of the Interception Sect will jointly study the new Cultivation Methods and teach it to the practitioners in the clan.
During the discussion, Hu Shu always remained vigilant. He knew that Western Sect might come back at any time, and they had to complete these plans in a short time. He looked out the window from time to time, as if he could see the figure of the Western Sect hidden in the darkness.
As the plan was gradually improved, everyone gradually became more relaxed. But they all knew that the days ahead would be full of challenges.
The night at ZhaoGe City was exceptionally quiet, and the moonlight shone on the city wall, giving off a cool light. Hu Shu stood alone on the tower, looking into the distance. He had a lot of thoughts in his heart. On the one hand, he was relieved to have successfully obtained Divine Artifact, and on the other hand, he was worried about the upcoming crisis.
Yin Wenjiao gently walked up the tower and came to Hu Shu. "Don't worry too much, we will definitely get through this difficulty." She said softly, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze.
Hu Shu turned his head, looked at Yin Wenjiao, and smiled slightly, "Well, with you by my side, I have confidence. But Western Sect is very powerful, so we must deal with it carefully."
The two stood quietly on the tower, the moonlight stretching their figures. At this time, ZhaoGe City seemed calm, but behind this calm, a storm was quietly brewing. Western Sect may strike again at any time. Whether Hu Shu and others can successfully implement the plan and improve Human Race Fortune, everything is still unknown.
