Chapter 43 : Crisis
Wu Xuan took the jade box from Zhao Qian and placed the entire Red Blood Spirit Fruit inside. After closing the box, he placed it into his storage bag.
He really didn't know what was needed. It seemed that he had to supplement his knowledge in this area. Otherwise, the effects contained in the spirit fruit he had painstakingly obtained would disappear when he brought it back. That would really make him laugh and cry.
" Thank you for this. I don't know much about this." Wu Xuan smiled awkwardly. Wu Yuxin and Zhao Qian were confused.
This was relatively simple common sense. Those who cultivated would understand some of it. Wu Xuan's performance earlier had surprised them even more. He was like a cultivator who had fought with demonic beasts for many years. Now, he did not understand the most basic thing. He even uprooted the useless roots of the Red Blood Spiritual Fruit. They did not know what to say.
After staying here for a while, there were no roars from any demonic beasts. It seemed that this place was relatively safe.
" It's still safer here. However, there are still quite a number of demonic beasts roaring over there. I wonder how the situation is over there?" Zhao Qian looked at the place where she had escaped. She was worried about the people of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, and more worried about her father.
They could no longer continue walking further in. Further in would be the depths of the illusionary spirit forest. It would be even more dangerous to continue walking further in.
" Why don't we go take a look?" Wu Yuxin suggested.
" Okay, let's go and take a look." Zhao Qian also wanted to go and take a look. It was not a good idea to stay here all the time. If she could not get out of the Illusory Spirit Forest, staying here would be as if she had not escaped.
The three of them returned to their original path, but before they were halfway there, they suddenly felt the sound of running ahead. They were stunned and secretly alert. After a while, a group of people rushed out from the white fog. The leader was the Sixth Elder of the Wu family!
When they saw Wu Xuan, they were all stunned for a moment. Then, Sixth Elder said," You all escaped…However, the periphery has been completely surrounded by demonic beasts. We have to find another way out."
The people Sixth Elder had brought with him were all injured, and some of them had even been carried away. They were all bleeding like a group of defeated soldiers.
" Sixth Elder, have you seen my father?" Zhao Qian asked hurriedly.
Sixth Elder said," Guild Leader Zhao is at the back and will be here soon. Don't worry, although there are many demonic beasts this time, Guild Leader Zhao has more than enough to deal with them. It's just us disciples…Sigh."
" F * ck them! It was caused by those bastards from the royal family. There has never been such a situation before. They have been in such a situation since they arrived. They are just a bunch of bastards!" An elder was furious and cursed on the spot. His original dignity had disappeared at this moment. It seemed to belong to a family in Xuanlong City.
Not only did the Wu family come from the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, but there were also other families. At this critical moment, no matter which family it was, they had to work together to deal with it.
" That's right! If it weren't for them, how could we have ended up like this! The disciples couldn't cultivate and were all injured. They must have angered some leader inside!" Another elder said fiercely.
" Stop talking! Let's talk to a safe place first!"
A familiar figure appeared in front of everyone. It was Zhao Tianlong of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion. He flew over with a straight face and said," The demonic beasts behind us will catch up later. We can hold them off for a while, but there are too many of them. It's difficult to hold them off. Therefore, we should escape first. We'll settle this matter after we're safe!"
Zhao Tianlong was also extremely angry. This kind of thing must have been caused by the imperial family. As the president of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, although he was not really in charge, he still had the ability to seek justice from the imperial family.
Zhao Tianlong's appearance made Zhao Qian happy. The two of them looked at each other and understood.
No matter how angry everyone was, it was best for them to be safe first. Under Zhao Tianlong's lead, everyone ran to the other side, wanting to escape from the Illusory Spirit Forest in another direction.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many sects and clans that had separated many demonic beasts, Zhao Tianlong and the others wouldn't have been able to escape at all.
Unfortunately, in the direction they ran over, they saw countless demonic beasts charging towards them. Although they could see less than ten meters away, the distance was filled with demonic beasts. This was extremely terrifying.
" Run inside! Run inside!" Zhao Tianlong led the group to run towards the Illusory Spirit Forest, all of them in a sorry state.
It wasn't that they hadn't thought of going all out. They had already rushed out earlier. Even with their few troops, they weren't enough to defeat those demonic beasts. This was the first time in their history that they had seen so many demonic beasts in the Illusory Spirit Forest.
They didn't know how wide the Illusory Spirit Forest was, but it was full of thick fog. They couldn't see how wide the Illusory Spirit Forest was. However, judging from the thick fog, the Illusory Spirit Forest was very wide. From the entrance they entered, it seemed to extend endlessly.
As they continued to rush forward, they suddenly came to an open place. In front of them was an icy lake. The sunlight on the top was so bright and warm.
That's right. The place they ran to was the place where the Extinguished Priest had come from earlier. They ran from the other side. Apart from this lake, what they saw was even more shocking. They saw the royal family fighting with many demonic beasts! Many of the royal family experts had been torn apart alive. The ground was covered in blood. It was a terrible sight.
Shen Mie was still fighting with the ox spirit. It was hard to tell who was stronger than the other. Terrifying spiritual energy was flowing everywhere. Shen Mie was crazy. He had led more than 30 people, but now there were less than 10 people left to resist!
Zhao Tianlong and the others had just arrived when another group of people arrived from the other side of the lake. At present, all the people from the cultivation sects and families who had entered had been forcibly suppressed here!
" You guys came just in time. Let's deal with these demonic beasts together!" Chen Mie shouted frantically as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw when he saw these people rushing over.
" Bullsh * t! All of this is your royal family's fault! We've all been surrounded by demonic beasts!"
An elder of one of the sects screamed in pain. How many elite disciples had died in this battle? What happened to the royal family? Even the emperor would curse them for doing such a thing!
All the people gathered at the edge of the icy lake, adding up to only a few hundred people. At the edge of this vast icy lake, there seemed to be so few people. Compared to the demonic beasts chasing after them, they were completely like a drop of water in the ocean!
The demonic beasts had already surrounded them. Since this place was empty and there was no white fog, they could clearly see many demonic beasts approaching them with red eyes. There were thousands of them in front of them! All of them were above the Spirit Refining Stage. With just a few hundred of them, what could they do?
Wu Xuan gasped. His fate was really bad. Could it be that he would die again today? It seemed that it would be difficult for him not to die unless they knew how to fly!
At this moment, he felt that someone had grabbed the corner of his clothes. He looked down and realized that it was Wu Yuxin who had grabbed the corner of his clothes. He looked up and saw that Wu Yuxin's face was pale, representing the fear in her heart.
Wu Yuxin wasn't the only one who was afraid. Everyone else was equally afraid. They didn't expect that a cultivation would turn into purgatory at this moment.
