Will You Send Us Home?

In despair, the only way he could think of to resist was to self-destruct his Golden Core.

However, just as the dark magic sphere was about to strike the Golden Core cultivator, and he was about to self-destruct his Golden Core, a Law Technique with a very special aura broke through the air and struck the dark magic sphere with a bang!

The magic orb shattered under the attack of this Law Technique, as if it were not as powerful as it had seemed before, but rather quite fragile.

Upon this unexpected turn of events, everyone present who was of sound mind turned to look in the direction from which the Law Technique had been launched.

"Friend Daoist Lin!"

"Friend Daoist Lin!"

Upon seeing that it was none other than Lin Xiao, the fellow Daoist from the Lingxian Sect of the Pusi Kingdom whom they had encountered not long ago, the cultivators exclaimed with delight.

When the Grand Preceptor saw his magic orb shatter instantly, and that the newcomer seemed to be a fellow cultivator, his face suddenly darkened.

His dark eyes stared at Lin Xiao with a gloomy expression.

This person had no protection whatsoever, and his Law Technique was incredibly powerful, seemingly unaffected by the Execution Stone!

Could it be that these cultivators actually comprehended the Origin Qi so quickly...?

But Annihilation Immortal is clearly...

The Imperial Advisor was thinking rapidly in his mind while keeping a close eye on Lin Xiao, who was walking forward step by step.

Lin Xiao did not rush into battle.

He looked around and saw that the ten cultivators and Yuan Jinsheng in the pit were still alive, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he discovered that there were actually mortals here!

And there were ten of them!

The ten mortal women were all lying unconscious on the ten altars.

What surprised him most was that he actually saw the soul of the former king of Huanyou Nation in the pit where Yuan Jinsheng was!

Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

What's going on?

Wasn't this person already dead on the ground...?

However, before he could think further, the Grand Preceptor within the great formation suddenly chuckled:

"I had intended to sacrifice you all this time, but... well, I'll spare you this time. We'll meet again another day..."

Before he finished speaking, his figure began to become transparent and dissipate.

"Oh no, he's trying to escape!"

After a long and arduous search, they finally found the culprit, the Imperial Advisor, and no one wanted to let him escape.

Immediately, all nine men rushed towards him.

But in the end, it was all just a pipe dream.

The imperial advisor had apparently vanished from the central cavern.

Lin Xiao's attention was not on the vanished imperial advisor at this moment.

He flashed to Yuan Jinsheng's side, intending to pull Yuan Jinsheng out so he could treat his injuries.

Without treatment, Yuan Jinsheng's life will likely end soon in this Execution Stone mine.

But when he reached out and gently lifted him, he couldn't move Yuan Jinsheng even an inch!

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Yuan Jinsheng had actually been controlled by the great formation.

With time running out, he didn't bother to find the array's core and directly unleashed Law Technique to bombard the area around the array, completely shattering the nascent formation.

As the great formation was completely destroyed, the Essence Blood and essence that had spread from each of the sacrifices within the formation into the air rapidly retreated and returned to their respective bodies.

Lin Xiao then pulled Yuan Jinsheng out of the pit.

Unable to find the Imperial Preceptor anywhere, the cultivators had no choice but to bind the Execution Cultivator on the ground.

As for the ten mortal women on the altar, because they were mortals, they were not as severely affected by the Execution Stone as the cultivators, and their condition was much better than Yuan Jinsheng's.

A Nascent Soul Cultivator spoke up:

"The Imperial Advisor has already escaped, and the rest have been captured. We shouldn't stay here any longer; let's get out of here quickly."

No cultivator would want to stay in this place for long.

No one objected.

Lin Xiao was originally worried about how to transport the ten unconscious mortal women out, but when he turned around and saw the sacks thrown in the corner, he was about to pick them up, pack them up, and then transport them out.

Turning his head, he saw a cultivator raise his hand and wave it twice.

This awakened all the unconscious Execution Cultivator on the ground and the mortal women lying on the altar.

Lin Xiao:...

Having been a cultivator for too short a time, I still can't fully embody the identity.

Once everyone was awake, a Nascent Soul Cultivator stepped forward. Without explaining, he simply told them to get up and leave immediately, or they would have to stay and wait to die.

As for the Execution Cultivator, they had already been tied up in a string and were being dragged along by the other cultivators.

The mortal women who had just woken up were unaware of their surroundings or the people in front of them, and were momentarily confused.

Only the prettiest girl among them, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, after a brief moment of disorientation upon waking, exclaimed in surprise when she saw Yuan Jinsheng being supported by Lin Xiao:

"Father!"

While calling out, she—or rather, he—staggered toward Yuan Jinsheng.

Looking at Yuan Jinsheng, who had fallen into a coma with his eyes closed, Shen Yingzi looked at Lin Xiao with red eyes and asked in a flustered tone:

"What's wrong with my dad? What happened to him?"

Lin Xiao glanced at the cave behind him and saw that the mortal women had all come out. He then switched from supporting Yuan Jinsheng to carrying him on his back, and said to Shen Yingzi:

"We shouldn't stay here any longer; let's go outside and talk."

With that, he turned and walked away, carrying Yuan Jinsheng on his back.

In order to get out of this oppressive place as soon as possible, the three Nascent Soul Cultivator used their Spiritual Power to push the mortals and Execution Cultivator from behind.

Anyway, things here are pretty much over, and we'll be leaving soon, so there's no need to worry about consuming Spiritual Power.

Even if the spell is absorbed by the Execution Stone, the significant loss of Law Technique power is not a concern.

The group rushed back to the ground.

It was already past midnight.

The moon is almost setting.

Nine ordinary women huddled together, not daring to even breathe as they looked at the extraordinary group of people before them.

They had no idea where they were or what their fate would be.

As soon as Yuan Jinsheng came out, a cultivator who knew him well took him over to heal his injuries and regulate his breathing, with Shen Yingzi attending to him.

The dozen or so Execution Cultivator were taken back to the Alliance Army by two Nascent Soul Cultivator and ten Golden Core cultivators who had not gone down into the cave but remained outside to guard it.

The rest of the group rested there for a while, and then took the nine mortal women to a nearby city.

Lin Xiao turned his head and saw the nine mortal women huddled together.

They were dressed in thin clothes and shivered in the cold wind at dawn.

So he went over and set up a small protective array around them to keep them warm, and also said a few words of comfort to them:

"Don't be afraid. In a moment, tell us where you're from, and we'll take you back."

The nine women felt their fear lessened somewhat as they saw his handsome face, his age being similar to theirs, and his gentle and kind manner of speaking.

A woman with a rather cheerful appearance mustered her courage and asked:

"I... I live in Linxi City, Qianzhong County. Will you... really take us back?"
