"No one is allowed to escape from the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou today!" the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect stated coldly. "Anyone who dares to flee from the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou will be killed without mercy!"
The experts of the Wuji Divine Sect nodded in agreement and pursued Xu Fei and the others. Now that the Wuji Divine Sect had made their move, they would not easily back down, nor would they allow anyone else to act presumptuously today.
Meanwhile, within the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou, many strong individuals resisted fiercely. The older generation of cultivators, in particular, unleashed their lifelong ultimate techniques, hoping to allow their juniors to escape the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou, thus perhaps giving them a chance for survival.
The Wuji Divine Sect had been preparing for their action against the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou, which was why they were in such disarray and caught off guard, even unsure how to respond.
"You are pushing your luck too far! If I can leave alive today, I will surely make the Wuji Divine Sect pay the price!"
The ancestor of the Shen family's gaze was cold and icy. He never expected the Wuji Divine Sect to act in such a manner, completely disregarding their eighteen gates of Jiuzhou and even intending to annihilate them.
Faced with such a decision, how could the ancestor of the Shen family concede? He was determined to make them pay.
A short while later, a rumbling sound suddenly echoed from within the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou, and the formation of the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou was instantly activated. This guardian formation was enacted by their ancestors and possessed no small amount of power.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect sneered, "I already knew before coming that the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou had a guardian formation, but so what? I already have a method to break it!"
The ancestor of the Shen family's expression turned ashen. He could naturally sense that the Wuji Divine Sect had come prepared and would not easily give up. He never imagined they would be so thorough, even having a way to break their guardian formation.
Not far from the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou, Xu Fei and the others had escaped and were preparing to seek external aid from the Assassin Dynasty. Unfortunately, a group of experts pursued them from behind; these were naturally people from the Wuji Divine Sect.
"Tsk, tsk, the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou are about to be destroyed. How can you escape the grasp of the Wuji Divine Sect!" the white-haired elder said coldly, casting his gaze towards Xu Fei and the others.
"If the Assassin Dynasty learns of this, the Wuji Divine Sect will face endless disaster!"
Xu Fei retorted, "For everything the Wuji Divine Sect has done now, the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou will surely repay them tenfold in the future!"
"You have quite the nerve!"
The white-haired elder burst into laughter. In his eyes, Xu Fei was merely an ordinary disciple, yet he dared to utter such arrogant words. He would not let someone like this live.
"Don't waste your breath on him. Find an opportunity to break through!"
Sister Zhao's voice rang out. She knew very well that the situation was critical. If they failed, the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou would undoubtedly face great disaster, and no one would be able to stop it.
Xu Fei nodded slightly, but unfortunately, the vicinity was filled with experts from the Wuji Divine Sect, making it impossible for them to break through. These elders were incredibly powerful, no less so than them.
"I'll cover the rear. You go to the Assassin Dynasty!"
Tu Wenhai's voice sounded, his gaze filled with determination. Countless experts had met their demise within the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou. Resentment had ignited in his heart. As long as Xu Fei and the others could leave, the message would surely be delivered to the Assassin Dynasty.
"No, the few of you are not enough!"
Sister Zhao shook her head slightly. "Xu Fei, you break through alone. We will hold them off. This way, there might be a sliver of hope!"
"But..."
Xu Fei frowned. He knew very well that if Sister Zhao and the others did this, their lives would likely be in danger.
"Is there a better option now?"
Sister Zhao's voice sounded, her expression grave. She was very aware of the current situation.
Xu Fei gritted his teeth and tearfully broke through to the outside, feeling immense helplessness and a surge of resentment. If he could survive today, he would surely make the Wuji Divine Sect pay the price they deserved in the future.
"Stop them! Absolutely no one must be allowed to escape. This is the Sect Master's dying order!" the white-haired elder's voice was cold, carrying an aura of unbridled power.
The numerous experts did not hesitate and all moved to intercept Xu Fei. Sister Zhao, however, resisted fiercely, her eyes glinting with cold light. "Today, I'd like to see who fears death. Come at me if you dare!"
"Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! You think you can stop us with just you?"
The white-haired elders roared with laughter, their eyes showing a faint cold light. They looked down on Sister Zhao with disdain. If the Sect Master of the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou were here, they might have shown some apprehension, but a mere young girl was not something they would take seriously.
In the blink of an eye, Sister Zhao was in peril, and Xu Fei felt utter despair. He even hated himself for not cultivating diligently in the past, otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a predicament, unable to do anything while others sought to destroy the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou.
"Hurry and leave, don't mind me!"
Sister Zhao's roar sounded. Although filled with reluctance, as long as Xu Fei could break through, the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou still had hope, and she would never let such hope be extinguished.
"Ignorant of heaven and earth, today will also be your death day!"
The white-haired elder sneered and attacked Sister Zhao again. With just one palm, he could likely kill Sister Zhao instantly.
Boom...
Everyone thought Sister Zhao was about to perish, but to their surprise, the white-haired elder was violently thrown back, smashing heavily against a stone wall nearby, dying on the spot.
The many experts of the Wuji Divine Sect looked on, bewildered as to what had happened. This person was a peak Saint, and he had died just like that, leaving them in disbelief.
These people were merely disciples of the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou; they shouldn't have peak Saints, but it seemed that was not the case now.
"The aura of the Assassin Dynasty! Could it be that someone from the Assassin Dynasty has arrived!"
The numerous experts of the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou were instantly terrified. If this were true, it would be no joke. After all, the Assassin Dynasty killed without leaving a trace. If the Assassin Dynasty acted, they would be in great trouble.
At the same time, the experts of the Wuji Divine Sect all collapsed to the ground, appearing to be on the verge of death, with some even exploding and dying.
Xu Fei and the others were astonished, not knowing what was happening. Sister Zhao, however, looked up into the void. "Is that you? Lu Fan?"
In the blink of an eye, Lu Fan appeared before everyone, his expression even more stern. "The Wuji Divine Sect truly knows no fear, actually daring to make a move against the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou!"
Upon seeing Lu Fan's figure, Xu Fei and the others were overjoyed and deeply excited. Lu Fan's appearance meant that the eighteen gates of Jiuzhou had a chance for a turnaround.
