Return to the City

In the Spirit Stone Mine, Chen Mobai and the other seven watched all the Qi Cultivation Cultivator leave before bidding each other farewell.

If the Teleportation Array becomes unusable, then they will have no choice but to use the last resort to escape.

Everyone left separately, and in the end, it all came down to who was lucky.

After saying goodbye, the remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivator transformed into streaks of spiritual light and disappeared into the sky.

One ran towards the Xiao Kingdom, another headed towards the Hong Kingdom of Six Armor Mountain, while Weng Chuanyou and Yue Tianheng chose the Shuang Country under the jurisdiction of the Blowing Snow Palace.

Another one actually headed directly towards the heart of the Yan Kingdom.

It seems that they believe the most dangerous place is the safest place.

"Junior Brother Chen, which way do I get there?"

In the end, only Xi Yisheng and Chen Mobai remained, with the former asking the latter a question.

"Head towards Rolling Thunder Mountain."

That meant facing Ji Dingjin's army head-on. Xi Yisheng looked puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He waved his hand and transformed into Sword Light, heading towards the Shuang Country.

After everyone had disappeared, Chen Mobai looked at the now empty Spirit Stone Mine and sighed softly.

The Lesser Teleportation Talisman is Talisman for single-person use. He could only bless the other Divine Wood Sect disciples so that they could overcome the tribulations and return to the Divine Wood Sect safely.

He took out an unopened jar of wine from his storage bag, slapped it open, and the seal looked as if it had been slashed by a sharp sword.

After taking a large gulp, Chen Mobai turned around and prepared to leave.

A beam of earth-yellow spiritual light descended from the sky like a meteorite, crashing heavily towards him.

Amidst a deafening roar.

The entire Spirit Stone Mine seemed unable to withstand the impact and began to shake violently.

Chen Mobai retreated into the air, standing above the Misty Cloud Qi, looking down at the dust that filled the sky.

A tall figure clad in full armor appeared in his eyes.

It was Ji Dingjin.

"Oh, so you're the only one left, you coward."

Ji Dingjin looked up and glanced around, finding the place deserted and without a soul in sight, and frowned.

"You arrived quickly. It seems this Spirit Stone Mine is indeed very important to your Mountain Shaking Peak."

As Chen Mobai spoke, he raised the wine jar in his hand, took another sip, and then sat down on the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk, seemingly wanting to chat with Ji Dingjin.

"Staying alive is the most important thing for us."

Ji Dingjin clenched his fist, and an invisible, surging force of fist energy burst through the air.

But then an Bronze Mirror appeared, blocking Chen Mobai's path.

Ji Dingjin's terrifying fist force, capable of shattering a small mountain, was completely neutralized after merely shaking this Third Tier Magic Tool.

"You showed great courage by staying behind alone to cover the retreat of the Divine Wood Sect, but if I were you, I would be the first to run away."

Seeing that Chen Mobai was the only one in front of him, Ji Dingjin thought that Chen Mobai should take the initiative to cover the rear, considering his identity and status.

Although he admired him greatly, as an opponent, Ji Dingjin had to kill this genius, who was most likely to Core Formation in the future of the Divine Wood Sect, right here.

"If Nan Shidao doesn't make a move, you probably can't kill me on your own."

Although the person in front of him was Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of physical cultivation, Chen Mobai was still confident that he could escape from him. After all, the Lesser Teleportation Talisman was a spatial technique that Foundation Establishment Cultivator could not stop.

"How arrogant! I admit you have amazing talent and Third Tier Magic Tool, but if I were to risk my life, I could still drag you down with Yellow Springs. Moreover, as long as I can hold you off until my army of cultivators from the Mountain Shaking Peak arrives, I can use the Grand Array and our numerical advantage to trap you to death."

Ji Dingjin began to use persuasive words, but Chen Mobai had plenty of cards up his sleeve. He simply smiled at them and even picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp.

Such a wild and unrestrained attitude, as well as his fearless attitude towards death, made Ji Dingjin sigh inwardly, wondering why this boy was not a disciple of their Mountain Shaking Peak.

"Ji Zhenshi is about to die, and you still have the mood to surround and kill me here?"

But Chen Mobai's next words made Ji Dingjin shout angrily.

"Even if Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang take action, so what? You have no idea how terrifying the Void Body is. Moreover, after the Southern Ancestor of Six Armor Mountain broke through Rolling Thunder Mountain, he has already rushed to the Mountain Shaking Peak. Your Divine Wood Sect's conspiracy will never succeed."

"Go to the Mountain Shaking Peak? I think he'll just run straight back to Six Armor Mountain."

Although Chen Mobai's words were still sarcastic, he was actually worried about his two disciples.

I never expected that Nan Shidao would be able to break through Rolling Thunder Mountain. Fu Zongjue have been able to stop him.

Or perhaps some unforeseen event occurred that he was unaware of.

However, now is not the time to think about these things.

Chen Mobai finished the last sip of wine in his hand, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then laughed loudly as he threw the empty wine jar at Ji Dingjin.

With a loud "bang," the wine jar was crushed by Ji Dingjin's palm. Then, the Foundation Establishment Perfection Body Cultivator at the Mountain Shaking Peak widened his eyes, his whole body swelled up, and streams of black and red spiritual energy surged and rushed him into the air at an extremely fast speed.

Chen Mobai looked up at his opponent who was right in front of him, his eyes widened, and two invisible and formless Spiritual Sense Mind Blade burst forth instantly, slashing into Ji Dingjin's Sea of Consciousness the moment they met.

Although the latter is a cultivator who has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, he is weak in Spiritual Sense because he focuses on physical strength.

It is precisely for this reason that Ji Dingjin has never been able to take the crucial step of Core Formation.

The Spirit Controlling Slash entered his Sea of Consciousness like two fine needles piercing his forehead, causing Ji Dingjin to frown.

Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Mobai reached out and pulled out the Flying Sparrow Hairpin from her hair bun.

With his Fire Spirit Body, Azure Sun Fire Seed, Sun Ascension Technique, and this Second Grade high-grade flying sword that best unleashed the Crimson Flame Sword Art, Chen Mobai unleashed his strongest sword Sword Light at this stage.

Although Ji Dingjin's Spiritual Sense was his weakness, his cultivation level was still high, and he forcefully suppressed the two Spiritual Sense Mind Blade that had slashed into his Sea of Consciousness with his vast Spiritual Sense.

Then, facing the dazzling Sword Light that had already descended before him, he glared angrily and exhaled a surge of powerful energy.

A pitch-black vortex appeared out of thin air before the Sword Light, swallowing and absorbing Chen Mobai's Sword Light like Black Hole. Then it burst out in mid-air not far away, fell to the ground, and cut out a deep trench hundreds of meters long.

Amidst the howling air currents, Chen Mobai saw Ji Dingjin transfer his Sword Light and then draw a Black Mace as thick as an arm from the void, carrying a terrifying force capable of shattering refined iron, which slammed heavily towards him.

The Crimson Cloud Mist Silk transformed into wisps of air, carrying Chen Mobai backward while gradually dissipating Ji Dingjin's attack power.

However, the defensive power of this Magic Artifact was still insufficient in front of Foundation Establishment Perfection Body Cultivator, and it immediately exploded into a sky full of clouds and mist.

Chen Mobai could only activate the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror by his ear. A golden divine light fell from the mirror and transformed into a spherical shield, protecting him from all angles.

The Black Mace struck the Mystic Yang Divine Light Shield, producing an extremely muffled sound.

However, the power of Third Tier Magic Tool was still beyond Ji Dingjin's ability to break through.

Although Chen Mobai was knocked back more than ten meters, he only experienced a slight ringing in his ears and was not injured.

After a tentative exchange of blows, Chen Mobai estimated his own strength.

Against a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, relying on Third Tier Magic Tool might allow for a surprising victory, but against Foundation Establishment like Ji Dingjin, who has extensive combat experience, there is virtually no chance of winning.

"Was the one who just redirected my Sword Light the famous ' Void Body ' of your Mountain Shaking Peak?"

Although Chen Mobai had considered that his Sword Light might not be able to break through Ji Dingjin's defense, he did not expect it to be broken so easily.

It should be noted that even Mu Hanxiong was able to withstand the attack only by relying on his layered armor.

But Ji Dingjin's methods just now gave Chen Mobai a chill down his spine.

It's not because the Void Body's abilities are strange.

Instead, he remembered the Underworld Great Formation he had encountered at Lone Soul Ridge.

Their abilities are very similar.

Could there be some connection between them? But one is Corpse Cultivator, and the other is the sect's signature technique of a Eastern Wasteland Great Sect. There shouldn't be any connection between the two.

"Today, you will die here."

Ji Dingjin did not answer Chen Mobai's question directly; instead, he drew a Black Mace from thin air.

This time, Chen Mobai assessed the situation. When the Black Mace appeared, a pitch-black vortex appeared in mid-air, exactly the same as when the Underworld Great Formation was activated.

Just then, Escape Light appeared not far away, flying towards this place.

Chen Mobai activated his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye and naturally saw the other Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the Mountain Shaking Peak.

Following them were several flying boats, clearly the arrival of the cultivator army from the Yan Kingdom.

It's time to leave.

However, we still had to say some polite words so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Divine Wood Sect.

"We didn't have enough fun today, so let's call it a draw. We'll have a proper match another day if we have the chance."

In reality, Chen Mobai had already exhausted all his means. His last trump card was to use the Flame Explosion Technique to detonate the power of the Azure Sun Fire Seed in one go and unleash the Sword Light.

However, all that hard work of condensing the Fire Seed over the years would be wasted in one fell swoop, and he certainly wouldn't do that.

"Although I really want to fight you one-on-one and experience the fighting spirit that hasn't been ignited in a long time, the interests of the sect are paramount, so I can only let you die under the siege of our Battle Formation."

Ji Dingjin's words were tinged with regret. Chen Mobai was the most talented Sword Cultivator he had ever seen in his life, and his luck was astonishing; he even possessed Third Tier Magic Tool.

Given time, it will surely achieve amazing results.

But since he's his opponent, Ji Dingjin has no choice but to keep him here today.

Even if it means letting the rest of the Divine Wood Sect members escape, this young man must be killed.

"There will be another chance. See you next time, and I'll show you what I'm capable of when I give it my all."

Facing the cultivators from the Mountain Shaking Peak who were beginning to form Battle Formation and surround him from afar, Chen Mobai remained fearless. Just when Ji Dingjin thought he had lost his mind, he saw him take out a silver Talisman.

Is it Third Grade- or Fourth Grade Talisman? Is he going to fight to the death?

Ji Dingjin's heart tightened. It was possible for someone who possessed Third Tier Magic Tool to also have a Fourth Grade Talisman.

His Void Body cultivation is not yet complete, and he could very well lose his life on the spot if faced with the power of a Fourth Grade Talisman.

Just as Ji Dingjin was retreating rapidly, Chen Mobai activated the Lesser Teleportation Talisman in his hand.

A silver light, as bright as a veil, appeared and instantly enveloped his entire body. Then, his figure slowly blurred and eventually turned into countless particles of light, disappearing without a trace!

"Heaven Escaping Talisman! This is impossible! How could he possibly possess such Talisman!"

Ji Dingjin was stunned by what he saw.

In his knowledge, only Fourth Grade Heaven Escaping Talisman could instantly teleport and take away a person.

However, no one in the entire Eastern Wasteland could refine such Talisman. Even the Core Formation Ancestors who possessed them treasured them as a trump card for self-preservation.

Could this person have received the inheritance of some reclusive sect?

The thought suddenly popped into Ji Dingjin's mind, and his expression changed drastically. But since Chen Mobai had left, he could only stomp his feet and order the Yan Kingdom cultivators who had surrounded him to disperse and hunt down the remaining Divine Wood Sect disciples.

We'll recover as much of the lost Spirit Stone ore as possible, and even if we can't recover it all, we'll kill them all to vent our anger.

Amidst the shimmering silver light.

Chen Mobai experienced a feeling Taiyi from the teleportation of Turtle Treasure. Compared to Turtle Treasure's ease and comfort, this Lesser Teleportation Talisman made him feel a bit dizzy.

Even though I've tried it twice before, I still don't quite get used to it.

He opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by darkness. With a flick of his Sword One, he created a passageway through the sealed-off, desolate Wild Mountain cave.

Once outside, Chen Mobai looked towards Rolling Thunder Mountain. With his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye activated, even from a great distance, he could vaguely see strands of indescribable, pitch-black flames that stung his eyes.

This pitch-black flame instilled in him an instinctive fear, as if once he came into contact with it, his foundation would crumble and his Spiritual Sense would dissipate.

Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not fly towards Rolling Thunder Mountain.

He returned to the Wild Mountain, resealed the cave entrance, and then took out his phone.

He decided to return to the Immortal Sect to hide for a while.

In any case, the key to the current battle lies with the three Core Formation elders of the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Light Cliff. If they can kill Ji Zhenshi Nan Shidao, then they will naturally achieve a great victory.

His mere early-stage Foundation Establishment level meant he couldn't play a significant role on this kind of battlefield.

Moreover, he held Ji Dingjin back in the Yan Kingdom for a period of time, giving the other cultivators of the sect time to escape, which was already more than enough.

When the time is almost right, we'll come back here and see how it goes.

If the Divine Wood Sect wins a great victory, he will say that he covered the retreat of his disciples and fought a great battle with Ji Dingjin. He barely escaped with his life, but was seriously injured and had to recuperate for a period of time before he could return to the sect.

If we lose...

Chen Mobai clenched his fist; he had developed some affection for the Divine Wood Sect.

He made up his mind that when he achieved great success in his cultivation, he would definitely kill Ji Zhenshi Nan Shidao to avenge the two patriarchs and his deceased fellow disciples.

After achieving mental clarity, Chen Mobai pressed the [Return to City] button.
