Just as Liu Changxu and the other Foundation Establishment inner sect disciples retreated, Wu Changge and the Azure Cloud Sect's other two Golden Core cultivators engaged the two third-tier Golden-Winged Eagles.
For a time, spell light flashed incessantly high in the sky, accompanied by the thunderous booms of their battle.
In truth, the Azure Cloud Sect cultivators, Liu Changxu included, were not afraid of the flock of Golden-Winged Eagles they were about to face. They were confident they could defeat them. However, they were in Demon Territory, where reinforcements could easily be drawn in. Escaping would become much harder then.
Sure enough, the thunderous roar of the Spell Arts exchanged between the Golden Core cultivators and the third-tier Golden-Winged Eagles carried far.
Before long, it drew large numbers of demon beasts toward them, particularly third-tier demon beasts and great flocks of second-tier demon beasts flying their way.
Using the Spirit Ear Technique to investigate, Liu Changxu discovered fierce fighting several hundred li away as well. Clearly, the other teams had also engaged demon beasts.
Seeing this, everyone brought out their flying spirit artifacts and sped south.
After Xu Youxiang brought out an upper-grade second-tier flying boat, Liu Changxu and three others immediately jumped aboard.
Xu Youxiang hurriedly steered the flying boat southward in flight. If they did not hurry and the demon beasts surrounded them, they would die and their cultivation would come to nothing.
Among all the inner sect disciples, Li Tiancheng's top-grade spirit artifact flying boat was naturally the fastest. Carrying Jiang Yuruo and Xiao Wanli, it soon vanished from everyone's sight.
Liu Changxu was speechless at the three's behavior. Breaking away from the main group at a time like this was extremely dangerous.
Though all three were individually powerful, they clearly lacked experience fighting on a battlefield.
