A Sudden Counterattack

Seeing that the Star Sword was about to catch up, Blood Shark gritted his teeth, and a dense aura of blood light emanated from his body. He opened his mouth, and all his fangs were aimed at the Star Sword.

Bai Yu wasn't idle either. She raised her hand and waved, sending a five-colored divine light sweeping towards the Star Sword.

The Eagle King didn't even turn its head, just kept flying, as if it didn't care at all about the attack from behind.

Blood Shark and Bai Yu's attempts to stop it were completely ineffective. Seeing the attack getting closer and closer, Blood Shark suddenly jumped off Eagle King's back and rushed into the sea. Since he couldn't stop it, he would split up and run away. He didn't believe that this attack could split into two.

"Bai Yu, you run too. This attack has locked onto me; I need to find a way to get rid of it," the Eagle King said coldly.

After a moment of silence, Bai Yu said, "Alright, Eagle King, be careful."

After Bai Yu also broke free, the Eagle King's speed increased even more, its wings flapping as if it were about to tear through space.

"Nine thousand li already! Faster, faster!"

In the sea, Blood Shark watched as the Starry Sky Greatsword chased after the Eagle King and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old man, don't die."

After muttering something to himself, he immediately turned around and headed towards the South Sea Gate where Tianji Island was located. He had already made some progress there, and he planned to expand his advantage there.

Bai Yu, however, quietly slipped back. Although she had just fled in a disheveled state, she needed to go back and check.

If those guys go to support other places, wouldn't that be an opportunity?

However, this trip was dangerous. If they hadn't left, she would have walked right into a trap, which is why she secretly went back.

Moreover, this time they have incited almost all the Demon Beast within a radius of 500,000 miles; how could they possibly stop without getting something in return!

On the other side, Ji Xing, the Nascent Soul Early Stage stage Grand Elder of the Yaoguang Immortal Sect Jixing, was directing a group of people to repair the gap in the formation.

As for Venerable Yaoguang and another Nascent Soul Realm expert, they are currently rushing towards the Tianxuan Island sea area without stopping.

Yaoqiong has emerged. This matter may be even more terrifying than the Demon Beast tide. They have no choice but to take it seriously. After all, the Demon Beast tide can be resisted by formations, but Yaoqiong is in the near sea!

Shen Ge was currently recuperating from his injuries. Although he hadn't suffered any major injuries, he was still quite badly hurt, especially since he had lost the Mountain and River Cauldron, a top-grade defensive Law Treasure, during the final melee, and had been ambushed by those Demon Beast three times.

Three hours later, Shen Ge opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air. After two days of recuperation, his injuries had finally healed.

Suddenly, Shen Ge's senses jolted wildly, and she was instantly sent flying.

"Escape!"

A whooshing sound echoed over several nearby deserted islands. After uttering those words, Shen Ge ran off without looking back.

Subsequently, more than a dozen figures scattered and fled from various parts of the deserted islands. Now everyone was a bit paranoid, and Shen Ge's loud shout did have some effect.

Shortly after they left, a beam of white light shot in through the not-yet-fully-repaired gap.

The white peacock, which blotted out the sky, opened its beak and spat out a beam of white light, which shot directly towards the three deserted islands.

Jixing flew into the air and glanced at the white light, but ultimately didn't go up to intercept it. Instead, he turned and left. Of course, he didn't fly very fast, as he still had to consider his reputation and stay behind to cover the retreat.

The white light struck the three deserted islands. There was no explosion as expected, but the three islands were wiped out as if they had never existed. Those on the islands who hadn't had time to escape were also wiped out.

Bai Yu watched Jixing depart, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not chase after it.

Although she could kill the other party, it would take a lot of effort, and now, if she stays here too long, she'll probably really get herself killed.

So she began to slaughter everyone here; almost all the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who hadn't left died here.

After an incense stick's time, Shen Ge stopped above a small island 20,000 miles away. Soon after, Zhang Lingyu also appeared there.

He gasped for breath, his face filled with lingering fear, and said, "Good heavens, that white peacock actually came back! Brother Shen, I have to say you're amazing, your intuition is incredible. If you hadn't shouted that, I probably would have been dead without even realizing it."

"Those people from the Yaoguang Immortal Sect are really something. They left such a huge mess here and just left one person to watch over it. Aren't they afraid that the Demon Beast will come back and kill that person?"

Shen Ge shook his head with a slightly grave expression and said, "Something's not right. Something's probably happened again."

Zhang Lingyu sighed, "Something has happened. That place is probably a dead zone now."

"Not there." Shen Ge shook his head and said, "Those two Nascent Soul from the Yaoguang Immortal Sect left in a hurry. I guess something happened near the sea, and it's a bigger problem than the Demon Beast tide. Otherwise, they wouldn't have abandoned this place and left in such a rush."

"Who cares?" Zhang Lingyu smiled nonchalantly. "If the sky falls, those Nascent Soul will hold it up. Why should we worry about that? Preserving our lives is the most important thing."

"However, if we're talking about places near the coast where problems could occur, it's probably only the Dead Sea in the Tianxuan Sea Area. I've heard that the things in there are very strange and difficult to kill."

Shen Ge frowned and thought about it, and guessed that it really was that place.

At this moment, a figure walked slowly over from the horizon. When the figure arrived above Shen Ge and Zhang Lingyu, the figure slowly lowered its gaze.

Shen Ge and Zhang Lingyu immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder Jixing."

Jixing's gaze lingered on Shen Ge for a moment before he nodded. "You're quite good. If it weren't for your reminder, the casualties would have been heavy."

"Thanks to Elder Liao Zan, and also thanks to your presence, otherwise even if we had been on guard, not many people would have escaped."

This wasn't just idle talk; it was indeed because of Jixing's presence. Otherwise, that white peacock probably wouldn't have let Shen Ge off so easily.

After all, Shen Ge had seriously injured that third-tier white peacock, so it would be unreasonable for the elders of this clan not to retaliate.

"Elder, what should we do now? That scruffy bird probably won't retreat easily." Zhang Lingyu asked with some worry. After all, their Sea Billow Island didn't have the sect-protecting formation of the Yaoguang Immortal Sect Nascent Soul Realm Demon Beast really attacked, the entire island would probably be slaughtered.

Jixing glanced behind him, sighed with a complicated expression, and said, "I can only hope it won't dare to chase after us, otherwise..."

Shen Ge also realized that Jixing was no match for the white peacock and didn't even want to fight it. If the white peacock chased after them, the rest of the island, except for Yaoguang Island, would probably be slaughtered.

"Something really happened at the Dead Sea. The problem is that even the Great Dao Venerables had to abandon this place and prioritize dealing with that place?" A look of horror flashed across Zhang Lingyu's face, but more than that, it was worry.

"Alright, let's go back first. If that scruffy bird really dares to chase us, I'm not made of clay. I can hold it off for a while."
