"Where do you think you're going to escape to?"

Although the Supreme Evil Sacred King was confronting the Manju Sacred King, he had been observing the surrounding situation. When he discovered that Mingye had actually escaped the encirclement, he immediately lost his composure.

"Your opponent is me!"

The Manju Sacred King naturally wouldn't let the Supreme Evil Sacred King capture Mingye. He waved his hand, creating a large number of red petals that wrapped around the Supreme Evil Sacred King.

Boom! Crash!

Mountains and rivers collapsed, the sky and earth were turned upside down, and the battle between two Saint Level Peak experts could completely destroy the surrounding forests for miles around with just the aftershocks.

Mingye narrowly avoided the energy attack launched by the Supreme Evil Sacred King and fled frantically toward the imperial capital.

In the distance, she saw a ghostly purple army approaching from the sky. It was the Maha Legion stationed in the Manju Imperial Capital, one of the most powerful battle formations of the Manju Imperial Court. She was overjoyed.

But then, a sudden change occurred.

A giant white net suddenly rose from the jungle below, instantly enveloping Mingye. Mingye cried out in alarm and took out the spatial talisman Chen Mu had given her, trying to escape, but found that the surrounding space had been frozen, making it impossible to teleport.

"Hahaha! Fool, do you really think you can escape from a battle formation so easily? We've been waiting here for you to walk right into our trap!"

A tall man burst out of the jungle with a loud laugh, throwing a vicious punch at Mingye, who was struggling in the giant net.

Mingye dared not be careless. He clasped his hands together, and his body radiated seven-colored divine light to block the man's punch.

Boom! Mingye took a step back. Although she was not injured, the protective divine light was shattered, and the white net binding her took the opportunity to extend countless fine lines that pierced into her flesh, quickly rendering her powerless to resist.

"So strong!"

Mingye was shocked; he hadn't expected another Saint Level expert to arrive.

" Ye Feng, how dare you!"

When the Manju Sacred King saw that Mingye had been captured, she was both shocked and furious. She wanted to rescue her, but then she was entangled by the Supreme Evil Sacred King.

Like Ye Feng Qin Yue is a loyal follower of the Supreme Evil Sacred King. He has followed the Supreme Evil Sacred King for many years and possesses the strength of the Saint Level Early Stage.

Despite their youthful appearance, they are all ancient monsters who have lived for nearly ten thousand years and rarely show themselves before. It's unexpected that they have all come this time.

Whoosh~ Swoosh~~!

The Maha Legion finally arrived. Although they were only one legion, they had more than 4,000 men and their overall combat strength was even stronger than the Blood Slaughter and Utter Evil Legions brought by the Supreme Evil Sacred King.

Knowing he was no match for the Maha Legion, Ye Feng immediately led his men to join the Blood Slaughter Legion.

The creature spewing forth the giant white web was a peculiar race with the lower half of a spider and the upper half of a human.

They are the Spider Devil Race, not among the top in the Netherworld, but still a first-rate powerful race. Their Spiderweb Legion is best at imprisoning and capturing, making them one of the most hated legions by cultivators skilled in speed.

This Spiderweb Legion only had a little over two hundred people, but they were all cultivators at the Core Formation Realm or above. Although they couldn't fight against Saint Level cultivators, they could easily restrain them for a moment.

The Maha Legion relentlessly pursued the Spiderweb Legion in an attempt to rescue Mingye, but they were not far from the Blood Slaughter and Utter Evil Legions. Soon, all three legions of the Extreme Evil Imperial Court converged, leaving the Maha Legion helpless.

" Extreme Evil! Release my daughter, or none of you will leave here today!"

The Manju Sacred King was no longer gentle and graceful; her violent domain power transformed into countless red blades, frantically attacking the Supreme Evil Sacred King.

Although the power of a domain has absolute suppressive power against cultivators below the Saint Level, one will not easily expand the range of the domain when fighting against cultivators of the same Saint Level. This is because the larger the area covered by the domain, the weaker its power becomes. Once the domain is broken by the enemy, one will suffer a backlash, which is not worth the loss.

The arrival of the Maha Legion gradually balanced the situation on the battlefield. Although the Extreme Evil Army is not at a disadvantage at the moment, other legions from the Manju Imperial Capital are encircling them. If some more time passes, the Extreme Evil Army may be dragged down and killed here.

"Retreat! The entire army must retreat!"

Having achieved his objective, the Supreme Evil Sacred King immediately ordered his men to retreat.

In order to cross the border reconnaissance and defense line silently, the Supreme Evil Sacred King brought only his core elite troops this time. If these people die here, even if the Extreme Evil Imperial Court is powerful, it cannot bear such a loss.

Boom boom boom!

The two unparalleled experts clashed violently in mid-air, causing the wind and clouds to surge and the mountains and rivers to shatter. This space itself seemed unable to withstand such power and was on the verge of collapse.

The Supreme Evil Sacred King was, after all, more powerful than the Manju Sacred King. While resisting the Manju Sacred King's attack, he still had the strength to protect his subordinates as they retreated.

If things continue like this, they might actually be able to escape unscathed.

Just as the Manju Sacred King was extremely anxious, a silver-white robot flew over and stopped in front of the Supreme Evil Sacred King.

Buzz!

A three-dimensional image was projected into the Talisman Puppet's eyes, and Chen Mu's voice came from within it.

" Supreme Evil Sacred King, you've been so busy seizing the Netherworld Pearl, do you even know what state your palace is in right now?"

A magnificent, golden palace appeared in the 3D scene, but it was now surrounded by countless powerful cultivators. The palace was engulfed in flames and in complete disarray, and the defenders were engaged in a fierce battle.

"Damn it! It's Asura."

The expression on the face of the Supreme Evil Sacred King finally changed. He never expected that while he was like a mantis stalking a cicada, he would be ambushed from behind by a bird unaware of its prey.

"Impossible! My movements this time were extremely secretive, how could anyone know I wasn't in the palace?"

Chen Mu didn't bother answering the question posed by the Supreme Evil Sacred King. He simply stated his conditions. "Release Mingye immediately, and we won't stop you from leaving. Otherwise, everyone you brought today will be executed!"

The Supreme Evil Sacred King was immediately caught in a dilemma. If he were alone, he could return to the palace to provide reinforcements in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

However, if they were to bring their own army, it would take at least half a day for them to leave the territory of the Manju Imperial Court, provided that the Manju Sacred King did everything he could to stop them.

His palace guards definitely couldn't hold out for that long; now he had to choose one of the two options.

On one side is his long-established stronghold, and on the other are his loyal and powerful subordinates. Losing either side would be a huge loss for him.

"You want me to give up the Netherworld Pearl? Dream on!"

He was not an indecisive person after all, and made a decision in a short time.

With a wave of his hand, Mingye, which Ye Feng was holding, instantly flew into his hand.

"Everyone, scatter and escape! As many as you can get away!"

I promise you, if any one of you dies here, I will avenge you.

After speaking, he waved his hand, repelling the approaching Manju Sacred King. Then, a dark spatial tunnel materialized behind him, and he stepped into it, leaving the battlefield.

"Kill them all! Don't let a single one escape!"

After giving his orders, the Manju Sacred King did not linger. He opened a spatial tunnel and chased after the Supreme Evil Sacred King.
