1200: 301_6 1200: 301_6 Beside them, Duo Duo, who was very perceptive, hastily took over the care of Immortal Bi Yue.
Cao Zhen glanced at the two of them and finally nodded his head.
Indeed, if it was for the sake of sending the two away, only to let the Silver Light Wings be snatched by others, didn’t that mean their prolonged battle was all for naught?
The main reason was that it was his disciple Duo Duo who took over Immortal Bi Yue, and not Li Ke; otherwise, he might have really needed to consider whether or not it was time to head back.
Although Bi Yue and Ling Xi were injured, with Li Ke and Duo Duo, as well as Zhu Peng there, their safety should still be ensured.
Moreover, there were people from the Dragon Chant Sect.
Cao Zhen turned his head to look at Yu Long, and just as he thought to persuade Yu Long and his group to also return and protect Immortal Bi Yue, he found there was no need to speak; Yu Long had already started walking back.
For him, the safety of Immortal Bi Yue was naturally more important than the Silver Light Wings, which might not even be obtained.
Not to mention the friendship between sect members, even if he truly wanted to contest for the Silver Light Wings, he now dared not disregard Bi Yue.
If upon returning to the Dragon Chant Sect others found out that he ignored an injured Bi Yue to contest for treasures, Bi Yue’s admirers could skin him alive!
Seeing Yu Long and his group also leaving, Cao Zhen felt relieved and then turned to head towards the front.
All around, the influential figures watching Cao Zhen turn back towards them stepped aside to make way, the man before them, although the only one among them with a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core, is now the only existence at the limit of the Golden Core Stage!
The previous three at the limit of the Golden Core Stage were either injured or dead, and now Cao Zhen was the only strongest one left.
Cao Zhen did not move forward directly but instead sought the bodies of Young Master Qu Wu, Zhui Hun Demon, and Bloodbath Demon.
He searched their bodies for a while and took their Qiankun Bags, not even having the time to see what was inside, and continued moving forward.
They were the ones who killed these people, and although it was clear to everyone that these three Qiankun Bags must contain numerous treasures, not a single one dared to contest for them.
Now, seeing Cao Zhen flying towards them so quickly, each and every one of them had complicated thoughts.
Logically, with Cao Zhen’s strength far surpassing the others, it was very possible that the best Silver Light Wings would end up in Cao Zhen’s hands.
And now, with Cao Zhen’s side, Immortal Bi Yue among others injured and others escorting the two injured away, only Cao Zhen was left alone.
They should seize the opportunity to join hands and attack Cao Zhen.
But at this moment, not a single one of them made a move.
None of them dared to assure that after they took action, Cao Zhen wouldn’t retaliate by desperately attacking one or two of them.
What’s more, the terrifying scene of the Zhui Hun Demon’s self-destruction was still vividly in their minds.
It was the first time they had witnessed the terror of a Golden Core Stage Limit self-destructing; it was likely that apart from them, no one in the Eastern Province had ever seen a Golden Core Stage Limit self-destruct.
After all, at the Golden Core Period Limit, during the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, that was the strongest existence.
Even if faced with many more opponents, a Golden Core Period Limit could kill their way out of an encirclement and escape.
It was because here the remnants of the Sect Tribulation hindered the speed of flight, making escape slower, thus making one a target for Divine Skills attacks, that he resorted to self-destruction because he knew he couldn’t escape.
Similarly, if Cao Zhen found himself being besieged and overpowered later on, what if he self-destructed?
Who among them could withstand the terror of a Golden Core Stage Limit’s self-destruction?
For a time, no one wanted to take the initiative to attack Cao Zhen, or maybe they had the idea, but with no one leading, no one made a move.
Among the crowd, the only remaining expert from the Five Sounds Sect who was still persisting furrowed his brows; Immortal Bi Yue was actually injured – they needed to find Immortal Bi Yue to help them cross the Sect Tribulation.
It looked like Immortal Bi Yue was seriously injured.
If by the time came Immortal Bi Yue hadn’t recovered, that would be troublesome.
However, if Immortal Bi Yue did recover, given her relationship with Cao Zhen, could they not re-invite this Cao Zhen?
By then, having one more at the Golden Core Period Limit would increase the Five Sounds Sect’s chances of withstanding the Sect Tribulation!
Cao Zhen slowly advanced, and in the void, Thunderbolt Flames, Frost, fierce winds… various Heavenly Tribulations kept falling.
As he continued forward, he increasingly felt greater pressure.
After two hours, those who could still fly in the sky were only him.
And after four hours, even Cao Zhen could no longer withstand the terror of the continuous pressure falling from all around, and he landed on the earth.
The moment he landed on the ground, the pressure suddenly lightened.
Previously, the mountain where they saw the Silver Light Wings fall was not very far away, and he had already flown half the distance.
But when he landed on the ground and started moving forward again, he had not walked for long before the pressure in the air around suddenly surged violently again.
Those following behind him also stopped one after another, not venturing further.
“I can’t go on; I’ve reached my limit.”
“I can only go this far.”
Many sighed and stopped in their tracks, yet some still refused to accept this, continuing to step forward.
“I…
I don’t believe it; this is just pressure, the pressure from the remnants of the Sect Tribulation, I still can’t contend with it!” A man in white, whose clothes were still spotless despite reaching this point, took steps forward.
But as soon as he lifted his leg, his body suddenly trembled and he swayed to the side, falling to the ground.
From a distance, the assembly of masters who could not advance nonetheless did not leave the area, and watching the man in white fall, they shook their heads and sighed, “That’s Young Master Bai Shi, an existence at Perfect Completion Golden Core; even he couldn’t hold on.”
“Indeed, look at those who have stopped; they’re all top Perfect Completion Golden Core existences.”
“Those who are still advancing now are either at the Golden Core Period Limit or close to it.”
“Just how much longer can they hold on?”
One day later, to everyone’s surprise, those approaching the Golden Core Period Limit also halted in their steps.
Among them, some tried to push forward, but the result was spitting blood and falling down.
Only Cao Zhen alone continued to slowly move forward.
