Ji Yuan Battles a Golden Core Cultivator! [Monthly Votes, Please]

"They've made their move!"

The moment spiritual energy rippled, Divine Eagle High Person and Flame Python True Person opened their eyes in the Demon Grotto. Both looked outside in alarm.

But when they sensed the astonishing phenomenon that had frozen three hundred li of the Fallen Star River, they were more than a little shaken.

Flame Python True Person's face went pale.

Divine Eagle High Person, meanwhile, seemed to have made up his mind.

The two had different ideas.

Divine Eagle High Person sent a voice transmission to the remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators. "Retreat through the backup entrance. We'll hold this place."

"Are we... running?"

Fire True Person instinctively recalled the pressure Icefire Old Man had put on him earlier. It had made him feel the threat of death.

Especially that slap. For a moment, he had practically seen his master beckoning to him.

"Running?"

Divine Eagle High Person laughed. "Of course we're running. Should we stay here and wait to die?"

Hearing that, Flame Python True Person laughed awkwardly. "I was joking."

Divine Eagle High Person did not dwell on the pointless question. He sensed the tremendous booms outside the Formation and the trembling, as though an Earth Dragon Turnover were underway.

"Just as the rumors say, Icefire Old Man knows nothing about Formations. All he can do is break them with brute force."

Divine Eagle High Person analyzed the situation.

"Our Formation spreads his attacks across every part of it. Even if he wants to break through, it'll take him at least the time it takes an incense stick to burn. That should be long enough for Dark Venerable to arrive.

"When Dark Venerable faces him head-on, we'll support him from the flanks. This time, we'll kill Icefire Old Man for certain."

"What? We have to support him?"
