Yan Yu was still in a daze, but Yan Yan was already dragging him and running at full speed. Fan Ting hesitated for a moment, then also led his men to retreat towards the Roland Mountains.
"Quick, quick, follow them!" Fang He shouted urgently. Although the Roland Mountains were fraught with danger, it was at least a glimmer of hope. If they stayed in Wuji City, once that demon broke through the formation, they would all perish! Su Dan Novel Network
Lu Yuan and others looked at the people emerging in shock, as if they had seen ghosts, retreating towards the Roland Mountains. Some were confused, weren't these people supposed to be sacrifices? Why were they back?
"Dad." The Zhang siblings rushed to help their father, who was lying on the ground.
"Quick, follow them, hide in the Roland Mountains," the Zhang family head said anxiously. Xiao Qin was cunning and would not have everyone retreat to the Roland Mountains for no reason, unless something dangerous was forcing her to do so!
"Trying to leave, is it that easy..." Lu Yuan realized and immediately moved to stop them. These people were sacrifices, sacrifices to liberate their lord, how could they be allowed to escape!
The man in grey clothes reached out and grabbed Zhang Yin, who was trying to escape. Zhang Sheng took the opportunity to blend into the chaotic crowd and headed towards the Roland Mountains, while Xiao Man blocked Lu Yuan, buying time for others.
Ze Fang looked back and saw Xiao Man not following, and became anxious: "Idiot, Xiao Qin hasn't caught up yet, we can't leave Xiao Qin alone. The demon of the Five Poisons Sect has become a Nascent Soul stage expert now, go help her!"
Rebirth was stunned and casually handed Ze Fang to Poison Lady, then turned and rushed towards Xiao Man, feeling extremely shocked. How could a Nascent Soul stage expert be here? To know that Nascent Soul stage experts were considered top-tier existences on this Cang Xuan Continent!
Xiao Man's path was blocked by Lu Yuan, and the old city lord was also blocked. The old city lord, regardless of the consequences, went to hit Lu Yuan, his belly full of anger!
Xiao Man grabbed the old city lord by the collar and changed direction, running away.
The old city lord's eyes rolled back from being choked by his clothes, but he still reminded Xiao Man: "Idiot boy, you're running in the wrong direction, the Roland Mountains are that way."
Xiao Man ran without looking back, dragging the old city lord along. Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the man in grey: "I'll go catch Qi Hong and Yan Yu, you go catch Yan Ze and Xiao Qin."
The man in grey nodded and quickly chased after Xiao Man and the others. Rebirth returned just in time to meet Lu Yuan. Without a word, he drew his sword and stabbed. Lu Yuan gritted his teeth in hatred. Qi Hong was very important to them. If he escaped into the Roland Mountains, it would be difficult to catch him.
"Get lost."
"Die!" Rebirth was naturally hot-tempered and hated the Five Poisons Sect to the extreme. He wanted the Five Poisons Sect to pay blood for Zhou Yan's death.
"Get out of the way!"
"Let's go, to the Roland Mountains!" Xi Wen appeared, grabbed Rebirth, and ran towards the Roland Mountains.
"No, Xiao Qin is still in the city."
"Our master told all of us to enter the Roland Mountains." Xi Wen, without further ado, dragged Rebirth towards the Roland Mountains, "Our master said she has a way."
Rebirth showed confusion but did not hesitate, immediately following Xi Wen towards the Roland Mountains to retreat. Lu Yuan, however, pursued relentlessly. No matter what, he had to capture Qi Hong.
At this moment, the ground trembled, and everyone almost fell to the ground. Xi Wen's expression changed greatly, wishing he had two more legs. If they were caught by the person who emerged, ten lives wouldn't be enough for them to die.
Rebirth looked back. Indeed, a man descended from the sky, emanating an aura of killing intent. Even from this distance, he could feel the man's terrifying aura, making his legs tremble uncontrollably, wishing he could kneel and submit.
"Is this a Nascent Soul expert?" Rebirth sighed.
"Stop sighing, hurry up," Xi Wen was anxious, not just because Xiao Man didn't want any of them to be harmed, but he didn't want it either.
Zang Xu emerged from the secret realm, his cold eyes full of hatred. He scanned below, found the person he was looking for, and quickly headed in Xiao Man's direction.
"Oh no!" The old city lord looked at the rapidly approaching person, terrified, "Xiao Qin, that, that looks like..."
"The sect master of the Five Poisons Sect, Zang Xu, he is now a Nascent Soul stage expert." Xiao Man was extremely fast, dragging the old city lord to the barrier of the Land of No Return and placing the old city lord in front of the barrier, "Quickly open the barrier."
The old city lord hesitated. The barrier of the Land of No Return could not be opened casually.
"Hurry up, or we'll both die here!"
Seeing the two reach the barrier of the Land of No Return, Zang Xu immediately understood their plan. How could he let Xiao Man enter the Land of No Return? He immediately launched an attack.
The old city lord shivered all over when he saw the attack coming from behind. He immediately opened the barrier of the Land of No Return, and at the last moment, the two entered the Land of No Return, while the attack struck the barrier, causing it to shake.
The old city lord's heart trembled, fearing that the barrier could not withstand the opponent's attack and would shatter. If that happened, all the lawless individuals from the Land of No Return would enter Wuji City, which would be a huge blow to Wuji City.
"Will the barrier be able to withstand the attack?"
"No," Xiao Man said calmly, "You know, this barrier was set up by a Soul Transformation stage expert. A Nascent Soul stage cultivator cannot break it."
Zang Xu stood in front of the barrier, looking at Xiao Man inside the barrier, both angry and vexed. He slammed his fists against the barrier again and again, but the barrier remained steady and unmoving.
"Xiao Qin, will the barrier really not be broken?" The old city lord was worried, "If the barrier breaks, the first to suffer will be the common people of Wuji City."
Xiao Man comforted him: "Old City Lord, you should not be worried about whether the barrier will break, but about how to deal with the person in front of you."
"He is a Nascent Soul stage expert, and I am only at the Golden Core stage. You know, there is an insurmountable mountain between the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. Even ten Golden Core cultivators cannot defeat one Nascent Soul, let alone now when it's just you and me. I am at the early stage of Golden Core, and you are at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Do you think we are a match?"
"No..."
"It's good that you know it's not."
The old city lord stared at Zang Xu outside the barrier. After thinking for a long time, he finally noticed something was wrong: "By the way, where did the sect master of the Five Poisons Sect come from?"
"He has been hiding in the secret realm all along. The so-called secret realm is just a facade, not a real secret realm, but a sacrificial formation set up by the Five Poisons Sect, with the purpose of sacrificing those who entered this time to save the people of the Land of No Return." Xiao Man looked in the direction of Yangming Valley, the Demon King Yu Ju.
The old city lord shivered: "Save the people of the Land of No Return..."
"Yes, the Demon King suppressed in the Land of No Return, Yu Ju," Xiao Man calmly continued.
