Chapter 38: Shocking Battle

Within the Shura Forest, by the Soul Dissolving Pool, after undergoing intense preparations, Yun Feng and his group finally completed a primarily defensive formation. This formation was called the Heavenly Blue Light Formation. When activated, beams of blue light simultaneously shot out from various corners of the formation, forming a blue light shield around the perimeter, firmly protecting the space within. This was a well-known defensive formation of Daoism, but it had been lost for many years, and it was unclear where Yun Feng had learned it from.

After setting up the formation, Liu Xinghun began teaching everyone the essentials of the Nine Palaces Sword Formation and urged them to practice it diligently. Once everything was ready, Yun Feng sat down, panting heavily, and said, "I'm exhausted. I need to rest for a while, or I won't be able to continue."

Seeing Yun Feng, Feng Yuanyang chuckled and said, "Sure, take a rest. You've been setting up the formation while injured, and now you've gone through a rehearsal as well. You definitely need to rest. Remember to exercise and recuperate in time to restore your strength."

On the side, everyone stopped and began to rest. Looking at the surface of the Soul Dissolving Pool, Aoxue murmured softly, "I wonder how they're doing. Will they encounter any danger? This place is known as one of the three deadly places in the Ghost Domain, so it must be extremely dangerous. I hope they return safely."

"Don't worry. How many times has it been? He always manages to turn danger into fortune. I believe this time will be no different," said Cangyue calmly as she looked at the water's surface.

Gazing at Cangyue's face, Aoxue paused for a moment and said softly, "Yes, so many times. No matter what dangers he encounters, he always manages to cleverly resolve them. It seems like there's nothing in this world that can hold him back. When he retrieves the Soul Sealing Talisman this time and returns to the mortal realm, perhaps he won't encounter danger again."

Not encountering danger anymore, is it possible? Cangyue looked at her, a hint of sigh in her eyes. Perhaps the dangers of the Ghost Domain had worn away the lofty ambitions of too many people. At this moment, everyone's mood seemed particularly low.

Observing the Soul Dissolving Pool, Liu Xinghun's only thought was that he hoped Jian Wuchen would return safely and retrieve the Soul Sealing Talisman early so they could rush back to the mortal realm. Similarly, Ziyang True Person shared the same concerns as Aoxue, hoping for Lu Yun's safety. The rest of the group had their own thoughts, but all seemed heavy-hearted.

Time always brings many things and takes away many things. When everyone fell into contemplation, a low and weak sound suddenly rang out, startling everyone. Turning around, Aoxue's eyes suddenly turned cold as she exclaimed, "Everyone, be alert. Enemies are approaching." Alongside her, everyone swiftly moved their bodies, guarding their positions vigilantly.

Sinister laughter echoed, and waves of sound like layers of huge waves surged from all directions. In the Shura Forest, countless ghostly shadows swayed, and tens of thousands of ghost soldiers densely surrounded the Soul Dissolving Pool, completely sealing off the entire Shura Forest. The ghost army divided into four teams, encircling them, slowly closing in. Leading the troops were four First-Rank Generals, accompanied by several ghost immortals, as well as the Ghost Marshal Phantom Charm from the Black River Region and the Ghost General Yinferno from the Yin Corpse Region.

Seeing the vast Ghost Domain army, Aoxue and the others' expressions changed drastically, their faces heavy with concern. With their strength, it was unimaginable to resist tens of thousands of troops. Moreover, there were four First-Rank Generals, eight ghost immortals, and two ghost marshals among them, such formidable strength could invade the mortal realm.

"Everyone, be careful. The enemy is employing a human wave tactic this time, intending to deplete our energy and then annihilate us. Now, with Lu Yun and Jian Wuchen still not returning, we have no choice but to hold our ground. At this critical moment, everyone must muster their greatest courage, bravely face the enemy, and under no circumstances can we retreat. Even if only one soldier remains, for the sake of peace in the mortal realm, for the sake of the people of the world, we must not falter," encouraged Ziyang True Person with unwavering righteousness.

Silent but determined, everyone's eyes revealed a firm resolve. Drawing their long swords, the nine of them positioned themselves in the Nine Palaces Sword Formation, coldly observing the approaching ghosts.

A roar erupted from Yinferno's mouth, and the sinister aura emanating from him stirred up a chill, spreading throughout the entire area around the Soul Dissolving Pool. Looking at everyone, Yinferno exclaimed with hatred, "Despicable humans, now watch how you'll perish. This time, I'll make sure your bodies are torn apart and your souls scattered, never to be reincarnated. Now, prepare to meet your death! Attack!"

With a roar, the ghost army surrounding the Soul Dissolving Pool, under the command of the First-Rank Generals, simultaneously closed in, presenting a formidable encirclement. The atmosphere grew even more eerie as two ghost marshals and eight ghost immortals chuckled sinisterly. The tension was palpable.

As they watched the approaching enemies, Ziyang True Person whispered, "Yun Feng, can this formation withstand them for a long time? Can it hold out until Lu Yun and the others return?"

His expression changing slightly, Yun Feng hesitated, his tone heavy as he said, "It's hard to say. Firstly, we don't know when Lu Yun will return. Secondly, with such a large number of enemies, skilled in cooperative tactics, their power is formidable. I can't say for sure how long the formation can hold. Thirdly, this formation is the first time I've used it. Its power is only legendary, and I'm not sure. So, it's best for everyone to prepare for the worst." With a heavy heart, everyone's faces turned exceptionally serious. Though Yun Feng's words were true, they severely dampened everyone's confidence, filling them with a sense of crisis and despair.

"Aow!" A startled cry rang out, accompanied by a dazzling blue light. The first row of ghost soldiers on the left side, which had approached closest, triggered the miraculous Heavenly Blue Light Formation, and they were instantly annihilated by the powerful formation. Simultaneously, as this cry echoed, the same situation occurred on the other three sides. At the first clash, hundreds of ghost soldiers were lost.

A roar resounded, and the ghost army surrounding the Soul Dissolving Pool halted their advance, silently observing the nine people within the Heavenly Blue Light Formation. At the same time, the four First-Rank Generals appeared outside the miraculous formation and carefully inspected the situation inside. After observing for a while, the four First-Rank Generals gathered together and held a low conversation before each commanding their respective troops to begin the attack.

In the midst of the battle, nine people's faces changed constantly, their eyes focused on the surrounding enemies, full of concern. At this moment, the enemies split into four directions, forming a sharp cone formation, launching a fierce attack. Countless ghost soldiers, under the command of the generals, disregarded their lives and fiercely assaulted the Azure Light Formation. In the sky, countless dark blue lights intertwined with dark ghostly aura, scattering and dancing incessantly.

By the Soul Transformation Pool in the Shura Forest, countless ghost soldiers, under the command of four first-grade generals, transformed into four black pillars, attacking with determination. From above, a shimmering azure light shield, shimmering with flowing brilliance, formed a semicircle with a diameter of ten zhang, firmly covering the Soul Transformation Pool. Surrounding this shield were four black beams, over a zhang in diameter, shooting directly from deep within the Shura Forest, fiercely hitting the shield, creating a rare spectacle.

The fierce attack caused the surface of the azure light shield to fluctuate, its aura extremely unstable. On the ground, eighteen cyan light bands emitted from the corners of the formation, continuously supplying energy to maintain the shield. Time seemed to stop at this moment, with attack and defense repelling each other, falling into a stalemate.

Looking at the intensely fluctuating azure light shield, Yun Feng sighed heavily, saying, "It seems impossible to completely resist the enemy's attack at this rate. Our only hope is to delay as much as possible to buy us time. Also, may Lu Yun come down soon, or else we will have no chance." His sigh drifted into everyone's ears, the worry and concern clear at this moment.

Watching the azure light shield, the Ghost Marshal Mirage murmured softly, "They are missing two people now. Have they entered the Soul Transformation Pool? If they really retrieve the Soul Sealing Talisman, it will be over."

With a sinister grin, the Sinister said, "Don't worry too much. Even if they retrieve the Soul Sealing Talisman, they won't be able to leave here alive. And most importantly, the Soul Transformation Pool is extremely dangerous. Even you and I dare not go down. They may have already died down there. What do you think?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Mirage's eyes as he coldly said, "Don't underestimate them. Even if they retrieve the Soul Sealing Talisman, who dares to confront it when it's released? You should think about that carefully, lest you regret it later."

The Sinister's eyes turned cold, ominously saying, "Don't inflate others' courage. The Soul Sealing Talisman has been in the Soul Transformation Pool for thirteen days. Once the final two days pass, it will be completely destroyed. Even if they retrieve it now, its power may not be as great as before. Who's afraid of whom at that time?" Mirage glared at it and remained silent.

Seeing Mirage's silence, the Sinister didn't say more, just waved his hand to command the eight ghost immortals behind him to launch an attack together, to forcibly break through the Azure Light Formation. With a light response, the eight ghost immortals appeared above the shield. Exchanging glances, with eight loud roars, they converged into a black pillar in mid-air and swiftly descended, directly hitting the Azure Light Formation.

With a loud noise, accompanied by dazzling light, a burst suddenly erupted from the intersection of the two lights. The black mist billowed, the cyan light flashed, amidst the deafening roar, a powerful destructive force exploded suddenly, instantly blowing away all the surrounding ghost soldiers and immortals. The strong airflow converged into a tornado, rushing towards the right side, crushing the ghost army that failed to dodge in time, instantly annihilating thousands of ghost soldiers.

When everything calmed down, looking at the forest, it was apparent that one of the four military units had lost more than half its troops, and the other three had also suffered heavy casualties. This sudden turn of events caused the loss of four layers of the ghost army, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Purple Sun Immortal glanced at everyone, a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and shouted, "Activate the Sword Formation, protect with all our strength!" Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at him, their faces showing a hint of heaviness. With the Azure Light Formation broken, the only hope now was to rely on the Nine Palace Sword Formation to defend. When the Sword Formation broke again, they would have to rely on individual strength and courage to fight back.

With a fierce roar, the Sinister angrily ordered, "Damn it, tear them all apart immediately! I want you to destroy them in the shortest time possible. Launch a fierce attack, we must exterminate them at all costs, leave no one behind." With these words, the four first-grade generals hurriedly commanded the ghost soldiers to implement the tactic of overwhelming numbers.

As the battle raged on, the rolling black mist rapidly surged towards the nine individuals. However, whenever the dense mist approached the center, it would be forcibly ejected. Ejected and attacked, this cycle repeated endlessly, a battle of attrition in which time and endurance were pitted against each other. In mid-air, the Sinister, Mirage, and the eight ghost immortals watched the situation of the battle. Sinister's sinister laughter echoed as they observed the trapped humans, exuding a terrifying ghostly aura.

Trapped in the formation, the nine people relied on the marvelousness of the Sword Formation to connect their true energy, temporarily resisting the enemy's attacks. However, due to the large number and great strength of the ghost soldiers, the pressure was rapidly increasing, and the nine could feel their true energy depleting. At this moment, they had lost count of how many ghost soldiers they had annihilated, how many ghost generals they had slain. They only knew that their hands were getting slower, their swords heavier, and their bodies were beginning to weaken.

Suddenly, Yun Feng's body staggered, revealing a flaw in the formation. Seizing the opportunity, a ghost general launched a fierce attack. Wind Yuan Yang exclaimed, and his true energy suddenly surged. His long sword, emitting a dazzling dark blue sword light, struck at the ghost general. With a flash of light and a miserable scream, Wind Yuan Yang slew the ghost general, compensating for Yun Feng's lapse.

"What's wrong, Yun Feng? Is your true energy failing? You must hold on at this time. As long as you persevere, there is hope. Believe that Lu Yun will return soon, and then we can break through. Hold on, Yun Feng! You can do it, we believe in you!" While defending, Purple Sun Immortal loudly encouraged Yun Feng.

After glancing at everyone, Yun Feng's eyes revealed a trace of desolation. His heavily injured body had not yet recovered, and the exertion from setting up the formation and practicing the Sword Formation had severely damaged his meridians. At this moment, he had reached the end of his strength. Without saying a word, he simply glanced at the Soul Transformation Pool with a faint sense of loss. Turning around, Yun Feng forcefully mobilized the remaining true energy, defending again with unparalleled determination.

With caring yet slightly sorrowful gazes, the group silently supported each other. At this moment, words were superfluous; a single glance was sufficient. Everyone understood that at this juncture, it was not merely about determination; it was about individual resilience.

The brutal battle continued unabated. The nine trapped individuals each bore expressions of indignation and grief, emanating an aura of seasoned resilience as they steadfastly held their ground. Outside the formation, Yinli saw that the nine were nearly depleted of their true energy and decided not to delay any longer. With a gentle wave of his hand, the eight ghost immortals behind him transformed into streaks of light, instantly appearing outside the Nine Palace Sword Formation. With a sinister smile, Yinsen directed the eight ghost immortals to rotate in reverse around the formation. Due to their speed, the eight ghost immortals appeared as a black vortex outside the formation, their rapid rotation generating pressure waves that surged towards the nine individuals within the formation.

As their gazes shifted, the bodies of the group members swayed. Yun Feng, Xu Jie, Du Li, and Bi Tian immediately spat out blood, their faces turning deathly pale from blood loss. With a light sigh, Yun Feng glanced at everyone before silently collapsing, a profound sense of sorrow and loss drifting through the air. His eyes, devoid of vitality, seemed to linger momentarily, as if in longing or regret, before gently drifting towards the sky.

A cry of alarm rang out as Xu Jie swiftly caught Yun Feng, exclaiming urgently, "Yun Feng, you must hold on, don't give up easily. Believe that we will turn the tide, we will endure. Hold on, Yun Feng!" A tear fell from her beautiful eyes, gently landing on Yun Feng's face and slipping into his mouth.

Forced smile gracing his lips, Yun Feng softly remarked, "Today, I learned that tears are salty." This simple statement brought forth a torrent of tears from Xu Jie, who wept bitterly. Around them, the remaining six continued to fend off the swarming ghost soldiers, while simultaneously keeping a watchful eye on Yun Feng's condition. His words elicited a poignant sorrow that permeated the hearts of all present.

As the sword formation broke, the pressure on the remaining seven intensified. Coupled with the assault of the eight ghost immortals, Du Li and Bi Tian were severely injured within moments. As they fell, Purple Sun True Man, Liu Xinghun, and Feng Yuanyang also sustained injuries, each dodging the relentless attacks of their enemies.

Enraged, Aoxue erupted with a formidable aura, radiating a mixture of dark and purple light that enveloped the entire Shura Forest. With a cold glare, she thundered, "The raging waves of the Nine Curves River surge, flowing into the sea never to return!" Her body exuded an overwhelming momentum, akin to the Yellow River's mighty torrents, crashing towards the East China Sea, shaking the entire area. Layers of blue and purple light enveloped her body, undulating like waves.

Beside her, Cang Yue glanced at Aoxue, her eyes tinged with faint sadness. Unleashing her full power, she too emanated a formidable aura. With a commanding gesture, her Divine Moon Sword transformed into flames, morphing into a fiery phoenix tens of meters in size, overlapping with the phoenix rising behind her. With a flash of light, a layer of red glow appeared on her white jade armor, forming a phoenix pattern on her chest. With a swift motion of her left hand, a burst of force erupted outward, propelling Cang Yue as she transformed into a crimson light pillar, accompanied by a fiery phoenix, charging towards the enemy.

In the Shura Forest, the dragon and phoenix intertwined, emitting dazzling light and wreaking havoc all around. Countless ghost soldiers and trees were destroyed under the onslaught of the two lights, their powerful destructive force and sacred aura like a tiger amidst a flock of sheep. Meanwhile, the two ghost commanders roared incessantly as they attempted to intercept the two women. However, their movements were too swift, and for a moment, the two ghost commanders were helpless against them.

Meanwhile, the remaining three, Purple Sun True Man, Liu Xinghun, and Feng Yuanyang, dodged attacks while keeping a close eye on their three severely injured comrades on the ground. Xu Jie protected Yun Feng, Du Li, and Bi Tian with her sword, ensuring their safety. Surrounding them, the eight ghost immortals and the four ghost commanders smirked playfully, gradually closing in on them.

At this moment, both sides understood that resistance was futile. Struggle seemed meaningless, yet the group refused to surrender. They knew that there was no turning back now; everything was already predetermined.

As their bodies swayed, Xu Jie's chest was pierced by a powerful force, blood spraying outwards. Taking two steps back, Xu Jie's face turned deathly gray. With a deep look of affection at Yun Feng lying on the ground, she stood resolutely. With her sword held horizontally across her chest and eyes devoid of emotion, she stared firmly at the enemy before her.

On the ground, the three individuals simultaneously revealed an endless sorrow in their eyes, as if sighing for this doomed journey into the realm of ghosts. Watching the remaining six persevering, the three knew that at this moment, they were only fighting for time. With the enemy's overwhelming strength, there was no chance of survival for them. Thinking of the mission at hand, their hearts brimmed with sadness and bitterness, which now manifested as silent tears, gently falling within their hearts.

Time seems to freeze here, and all sounds seem to have faded away. Looking back indifferently, Yun Feng's gaze swept over the Soul Refining Pool, where a subtle mutation was silently taking place. Above the Soul Refining Pool, the black cloud that had been hovering and swirling suddenly surged with intense fluctuations, constantly changing shape. After maintaining for a short while, the entire black cloud emitted a dull roar, dissipating into wisps of smoke, vanishing without a trace.

Shortly after the fragmentation of the black cloud, a streak of red light shot out from the Soul Refining Pool. The water surface rippled, and a figure flickering with red light soared into the sky. Then, as the red light extinguished, Jian Wuchen's body fell from mid-air. Hovering in mid-air, Jian Wuchen glanced around at the situation, his face changing drastically. With a wave of his right hand, a sword chant accompanied by dazzling multicolored light formed a tens-of-yards-wide sword curtain, descending mightily from the sky. The multicolored light flashed, the formidable momentum accompanied by unparalleled power, forcing back eight Ghost Immortals and four First-Rank Generals.

Seeing Jian Wuchen's appearance, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in the hearts of the crowd. His presence indicated that Lu Yun might also return soon. Then, perhaps some of them could still escape. As long as the Soul Sealing Talisman was retrieved, although the price was significant, it was worth it.

"Wuchen, it's good that you're back. Did you retrieve the Soul Sealing Talisman?" Amidst the battle, Liu Xinghun asked with a hint of excitement. Beside him, Zi Yang True Man, not seeing Lu Yun, asked anxiously, "What about Lu Yun? What happened to him? Why didn't he return with you? Did he encounter any danger? Speak quickly."

Forcing back two Ghost Immortals with a single sword, Jian Wuchen said, "I didn't encounter Lu Yun. I don't know how he is. I have retrieved the Soul Sealing Talisman. Let's leave this place immediately and return to the mortal realm."

A faint joy appeared on Liu Xinghun's pale face as he exclaimed eagerly, "Really? That's great! Let's break through immediately. Brother Zi Yang, now that the Soul Sealing Talisman has been retrieved, for the sake of completing the mission, in this situation, we can only endure the pain and sacrifice many things. Now, we must protect Wuchen with all our might, break through, no matter whether we live or die, we must ensure he returns to the mortal realm to complete the mission and safeguard peace."

Looking at the injured individuals on the ground, Zi Yang True Man said, "They are all heavily injured at this moment. If we leave, they will undoubtedly die. We must leave with everyone. Regardless, since we came together, we must leave together."

"I can't do this. I'm not as heartless as you are. I'm not going anywhere. I'd rather die here than abandon them. As for Aoxue and Cangyue, whether they are willing to leave with you, ask them yourself. Anyway, I'm not leaving. Feng Yuanyang, what about you?" Zi Yang True Man said angrily.

"My heart is the same as Master's. To live and die together, never abandon each other," said Feng Yuanyang, with a hint of disdain in his eyes as he looked at Liu Xinghun.

With a cold snort, Liu Xinghun said angrily, "Fools, in such an urgent situation, how can you let emotions cloud your judgment? The matter of the Soul Sealing Talisman concerns the safety of the mortal realm. The most important thing now is to send it back. No matter what the cost, it's worth it. But you, staying here means only waiting for death. What else can you do?"

"No matter what you say, we won't abandon our companions and flee for our own lives. Without them, could you have retrieved the Soul Sealing Talisman? Ungrateful!" Zi Yang True Man's tone was extremely dissatisfied, showing his anger.

Seeing Zi Yang True Man's stubbornness, Liu Xinghun could only turn to Jian Wuchen, and both of them attacked together to break through. Outside, when Phantom Charm and Yinmen saw Jian Wuchen appear, their hearts trembled suddenly, hastily ordering their subordinates to block them, not letting them escape.

As a result, the forces that had been besieging Zi Yang True Man and Feng Yuanyang suddenly shifted their focus onto Jian Wuchen. Thus, Jian Wuchen's pressure suddenly increased several times, and his forward speed slowed down significantly.

Seeing that Aoxue and Cangyue were no longer attacking, but gathering with everyone, cautiously guarding the heavily injured Yun Feng, Bi Tian, Du Li, and Xu Jie, Liu Xinghun and Jian Wuchen urged, "Cangyue, come closer quickly. Now that Wuchen has retrieved the Soul Sealing Talisman, let's assist him together and break through to return to the mortal realm."

Hearing this, Cangyue glanced at Zi Yang True Man calmly and asked, "What about Lu Yun? Why didn't he come out, and what about them? Are they leaving with us?"

"There's no time to ask about them now. The bigger picture is at stake. We don't have time to worry about them. Hurry up and protect Wuchen with me, break through, and return the Soul Sealing Talisman to the mortal realm to complete the mission," Liu Xinghun said anxiously.

Shaking her head gently, Cangyue said coldly, "In that case, you go. I'll stay here with them. Regardless of life or death, we will face it together, never abandoning each other."

Looking at her, Jian Wuchen urged urgently, "In this situation, staying means facing certain death. The two of you should leave with me. Everything comes with a price, and this is it, isn't it?"

Without saying a word, Cangyue just looked calmly at the Soul Refining Pool. Nearby, Aoxue said coldly, "Since that's the case, there's no need for you to ask further. We're not leaving. If we're leaving, it must be all of us together."

With a cold gaze, Liu Xinghun looked at the increasing number of Ghost Soldiers around them and said, "Wuchen, go quickly. Since they are determined to seek death, ignoring the bigger picture, being emotional, we don't need to die with them. Our purpose for coming here has been achieved, and we must leave immediately. Now, take out the Soul Sealing Talisman. That thing seals ghosts and can seal everything. Whoever dares to obstruct, you must act mercilessly."

Reluctantly looking at the two women, Jian Wuchen suddenly turned around and shot outward. In mid-air, he took out the Soul Sealing Talisman from his chest, swiftly imprinting it with a precise seal as a ghost immortal pounced towards him. With a cry of alarm and a hint of unwillingness, the ghost instantly disappeared. The Soul Sealing Talisman emitted a dark blue light, and three blue characters turned into a blue light, easily

 penetrating through the layers of defense around the ghost immortal, imprinting on its body. As the seal solidified, the ghost immortal screamed, and its body immediately turned into black gas, being absorbed by the Soul Sealing Talisman.

"Soul Sealing Talisman, Soul Sealing Talisman!" Several exclamations sounded, and chaos immediately erupted in the entire Shura Forest. Seeing Jian Wuchen charging over, countless ghost creatures dodged one after another, none daring to block his path. Yinmen roared angrily, appearing in front of Jian Wuchen, swiftly grabbing ghost soldiers from the ground and throwing them towards Jian Wuchen, aiming for the Soul Sealing Talisman in his hand.

Meanwhile, Phantom Charm suddenly appeared beside Jian Wuchen, controlling the Wind-slicing Sword, fiercely colliding with the Soul Sealing Talisman. Jian Wuchen felt a powerful force approaching, and without much thought, he turned the Soul Sealing Talisman to meet the Wind-slicing Sword.

With a shake of his left hand, Jian Wuchen suddenly regained his senses, quickly looking at the Soul Sealing Talisman in his hand. He saw a crack appearing on it, spanning from left to right. Shocked and angry, he roared, and his body suddenly spun rapidly, turning into a purple light shooting forward. Seeing this, Liu Xinghun, transforming into a stream of light, followed closely behind Jian Wuchen, fleeing outward.

With an unwilling snarl, Yinmen shouted, "Phantom Charm, I'll leave this place to you. After dealing with these people, come and meet up with me immediately. I'll go after this man and simultaneously command the entire ghost domain. We must guard the passage between the ghost domain and the mortal realm and retrieve the Soul Sealing Talisman." After speaking, he left with four ghost immortals and two First-Rank Generals.

Sneering, Phantom Charm watched Yinmen leave, then turned to look at everyone. At this moment, Aoxue and Cangyue had stopped attacking and were gathered with everyone, cautiously guarding the heavily injured Yun Feng, Bi Tian, Du Li, and Xu Jie. Aoxue, Cangyue, Zi Yang True Man, and Feng Yuanyang stood in four directions, vigilant against their surroundings.

An invisible pressure, like a huge boulder, had been pressing on everyone's hearts. At this last moment, everyone understood a lot, but no one said anything. Perhaps they were still waiting for hope, waiting for Lu Yun to return. But even if Lu Yun returned, could they escape facing thousands of enemies?
