Escape

Eighteen Banner Flag, shimmering with black light, flew out from the desert floor, swelled in the wind, and transformed into eighteen Black Giant Banner, each a hundred feet tall.

Each of the Black Giant Banner banners had a large number of hideous ghost faces on its surface. These ghost faces seemed to be alive, emitting mournful Ghost Wail.

"A complete set of Spirit Treasure!"

Shen Long frowned deeply.

The eighteen Black Giant Banner emitted large amounts of Black Yin Qi, each shooting out a beam of black light as they flew into the sky.

A chilling wind blew, accompanied by the constant wails and howls of ghosts, and numerous hideous Ghost Shadow could be seen.

Mo Wuya flicked his sleeve, and a flying sword shimmering with azure light shot out, its Spiritual Qi astonishing.

He made a sword gesture, and the light of his Cyan Flying Sword surged, unleashing thousands of massive cyan Sword Qi that swept out in all directions.

With a deafening roar, huge bursts of blue light shot into the sky.

A sudden gust of wind arose, and a group of cultivators flew out from the desert floor, including five Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators, led by Bian Shang.

He sat atop the Golden Giant Beast, his expression icy.

"It seems you were the ones who wiped out the Black Rhino Tribe. No wonder Bian Jing and the others didn't encounter you; you took a detour. Unfortunately, you made a mistake."

Bian Shang's tone was icy.

The Golden Giant Beast is his Life-Bound Spirit Beast, the Golden Qilin Beast, which has grown to the fifth rank. This beast is Mutant Spirit Beast, and its eyes can see things thousands of miles away.

Under normal circumstances, the range of Divine Sense probing for a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation is no more than five hundred miles. Cultivating Divine Sense Cultivation Method, taking elixirs, or wearing rare treasures to increase Divine Sense are exceptions.

The Golden Qilin Beast is only at the early stage of the fifth rank, yet its eyes can see things a thousand miles away—this is the advantage of Mutant Spirit Beast.

To be honest, this Divine Ability is somewhat useless. It can be useful for treasure hunting or exploration, but it doesn't directly help in combat.

There hasn't been a major war in the Heaven Origin Realm for tens of thousands of years. The Heaven Origin Race is the only dominant force in the Heaven Origin Realm, Bian Shang also feels that the Golden Qilin Beast's mutated Divine Ability is rather useless.

He never expected that it was through this Divine Ability that the Golden Qilin Beast discovered Huang Ziqi and the others.

Instead of alerting the enemy, Bian Shang rushed to an important stronghold as quickly as possible, used Large Communication Array to notify other tribesmen, mobilize troops, and lay an ambush in the Endless Sand Sea.

"Do it, kill them."

"A portly Red-Robed Elder said in a deep voice."

Yin Yan, in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation, was born into the Black Rhino Tribe.

He was fighting the cultivators from the Green Plum Realm on the front lines when someone unexpectedly wiped out his clansmen from the Black Rhinoceros Mountain Range Black Rhinoceros Mountain Range, many of whom were his relatives.

Yin Yan made a hand seal, and a large amount of crimson flames surged in the void, instantly transforming into tens of thousands of fire blades, each over ten feet long.

Spirit Transformation cultivator can manipulate the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a certain area to attack enemies. The higher the cultivation level and the deeper the Law Power, the larger the range of control they can exert.

Giant fire blades ripped through the sky, heading straight for Shen Long and his companions.

The Fairy Xuanbing reacted quickly, immediately Hand Seals, and several White Ice Sword, each over ten feet long, appeared to meet the incoming Crimson Fire Blade.

A series of booming explosions rang out, and huge clusters of crimson flames lit up the sky, accompanied by rolling shockwaves.

In addition to the five Spirit Transformation cultivators, the Heaven Origin Race also mobilized more than four hundred Nascent Soul Cultivator.

According to their plan, they would use the great formation to wipe out Shen Long and his group, but Shen Long unexpectedly warned them, which disrupted their plans.

The Heaven Origin Race cultivators launched their attacks on Mo Wuya and his group.

The dense spells blotted out the sky, revealing numerous magical Spirit Treasure; the sheer scale of the attack was terrifying.

"Retreat immediately!"

Huang Ziqi spoke urgently, summoning Banner Flag that shimmered with yellow light and casting a spell into it.

The Yellow Banner Flag suddenly lit up with a blinding yellow light, transforming into a giant Yellow Tornado that rushed forward.

At the same time, the cyan flying boat sped back along the route it had come from.

"It's too late to run now."

A voluptuous woman in a yellow dress sneered, flicking her sleeve and sending a spray of shimmering yellow sand flying out.

The Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure Earth-Guard Divine Sand!

The Yellow Gravel scattered, forming a huge Yellow Sand Screen that covered an area of tens of thousands of miles.

A loud explosion came from within the Yellow Sand Screen, but the Yellow Sand Screen remained completely still.

A short while later, the Yellow Sand Screen tore open into a huge crater, and an enormous cyan sword light swept out.

Hundreds of Human Race cultivators flew out of the huge crater and flew in different directions.

The Yellow Sand Screen dissipated, revealing the figures of the Heaven Origin Race cultivators.

"Chase them! We absolutely cannot let them reunite."

Bian Shang gave the order, urging the Golden Qilin Beast to pursue Mo Wuya.

The Heaven Origin Race cultivators scattered and pursued the Human Race cultivators.

Golden Peach Ridge, Green Plum Hall.

Lin Xiang and Qin Yue sat in the main seats, while Xu Qingyun and two men with similar features sat to the side, talking about something.

"What's going on! It's been so long, and Fellow Daoist Mo and the others still haven't arrived? Could something have happened to them?!"

A tall, thin man in a gold shirt frowned and said.

"Daoist Xu is overthinking it. We don't even know Fellow Daoist Mo's location or whereabouts, let alone the Heaven Origin Race. They're probably just traveling a long way and got delayed on the way."

Qin Yue disagreed.

"Brother Mingchen's concerns are not unfounded. I am worried that their hideout is in a dangerous place in the Heaven Origin Realm, and they will suffer heavy losses just to escape from there."

Lin Xiang frowned and said.

"They lack the treasures to break through realms, preventing them from moving freely. They also likely don't have many World-Breaking Talisman, which means they can't send anyone to scout the Heaven Origin Realm first. It's possible they're trapped in a dangerous place. How about this? Fellow Daoist Xu, please make the trip to the Gan Yang Realm and inquire about Fellow Daoist Mo and the others' situation."

Xu Mingchen suggested.

"I agree with my brother's opinion."

"It was said by a portly man in a blue robe."

"Brothers Mingchen and Mingguang are right. Fellow Daoist Xu, please make another trip to the Gan Yang Realm!"

Lin Xiang said.

"Alright! I'll make another trip to the Gan Yang Realm. Keep an eye out for news about Fellow Daoist Mo and the others."

Xu Qingyun agreed and got up to leave.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have simply had them come from our Green Plum Realm. Then we wouldn't have had to wait this long."

Xu Mingguang frowned and said.

"No, if we do that, and the cultivators from the Gan Yang Realm are captured or killed, they might reveal the location of the Spatial Node leading to the Heaven Origin Realm. If that happens, the Heaven Origin Realm could mobilize experts to the Green Plum Realm to block or destroy that Spatial Node, cutting off our retreat."

Qin Yue said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Apart from us Spirit Transformation cultivators, the people below are unaware. This is the safest approach. Let's wait and see!"

Lin Xiang said.

······

Heaven Origin Mountain Range, Heaven Origin Garden.

Yin Shi, Yin Qing, and Yin Hao were sitting around a blue tea table, talking about something.

"What! The Gan Yang Realm! It really was them."

Yin Qing frowned and said.

"Fellow Daoist Bian killed Fairy Xuanbing and severely injured Huang Ziqi, but Mo Wuya's Divine Ability are stronger, and he also possesses Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure. He severely injured Yin Yan and Madam Shan."

Yin Hao said with a gloomy face.

"Immediately dispatch top experts to the west to wipe them out. We absolutely cannot let them escape."

Yin Shi suggested.

The order was quickly relayed, and a large number of Heaven Origin Race experts rushed to the western part of the Heaven Origin Realm to besiege the cultivators of the Gan Yang Realm.
