Outside the cave, Yin Hongluan and Ming Nine Netherworlds led six generals of the Chaos Star Domain in a fierce battle against Dark Owl, Yan Yu, and the six Half-Saints from Heavenly Saint City.
The battle raged fiercely, neither side able to break free of the other.
Yin Hongluan held a clear advantage. Although Dark Owl was likewise powerful,
he could not withstand Yin Hongluan's fierce, overbearing attacks, and the might of her domain surpassed his.
Overall, the Chaos Star Domain's forces held something of an advantage on this battlefield.
Yet none of them felt the slightest joy.
They had already sensed the aura of Heavenly Saint City's third Saint Level expert inside the cave.
They knew Gu Chenfeng was fighting a Saint Level mighty figure.
No one knew how long he could hold out.
Worried about Gu Chenfeng's safety, Yin Hongluan tried several times to shake off Dark Owl and charge into the cave.
But Dark Owl had also seen through her intentions.
Though weaker than her, he fought with all his strength to block her. Even after sustaining injuries, he refused to let her enter the cave.
Once Mingluo killed Gu Chenfeng and the others, it would be three against two, leaving their opponents no chance of victory.
Ming Nine Netherworlds also realized that things were going badly and could not help secretly transmitting his voice to Yin Hongluan.
"Fellow Daoist Yin, if this continues, not only will we fail to save the Heavenly Demon King, but we'll be in danger ourselves.
"Why don't... we retreat first and discuss a long-term plan?"
Seeing Yin Hongluan hesitate, Ming Nine Netherworlds immediately tried another approach.
"It wouldn't be hard for the two of us to escape, but Chen Feng probably can't hold out much longer. Have him retreat with us.
