North of Absolute Heaven Abyss, five Nascent Soul demons pursued True Man Lei Yan.
Given True Man Lei Yan's strength, coupled with the astonishing escape speed of Lightning Attribute cultivators, escaping should have taken no effort at all.
The Nascent Soul demons were naturally far faster than fourth-tier high-grade Flying Warships.
If he fled alone, every Golden Core Cultivator aboard the fourteen Flying Warships would die here.
True Man Lei Yan could only cast spell after spell to hinder the demons' pursuit and buy time for the Flying Warships.
However, the Flying Warships were ultimately too slow.
After fleeing more than ten thousand li to the northwest, they were entangled by the demons. Escape was no longer possible.
True Man Lei Yan smiled bitterly. "Fellow Daoists, I fear we must fight to the death here."
True Man Yun Jian drew the Taiyi Divine Sword. "I was prepared long ago. I've lived for more than eight hundred years; dying a few years early is no great matter."
True Man Xuan Tian also looked utterly composed as he took out a Yin-Yang Compass.
True Man Yunhe took out an Artifact Refining Cauldron engraved with a Bagua diagram.
True Man Han Shuang took out a feather fan. Both its feathers and handle were crystalline and translucent, and no one knew what material it had been refined from.
True Man Xuan Tian continued, "People like us have limited potential. There is nothing regrettable about dying in battle here.
But Junior Nephew Daoyuan and Junior Nephew Wujian are still so young. It would be far too tragic for them to die here.
Junior Nephew Daoyuan, you and Junior Nephew Wujian should leave.
If we are defeated, take Xuan Jiuxiao and Junior Nephew Feixue with you and flee Northern Abyss.
