“Boom!”
At that moment the yellow protective shield formed.
Luo Yuebai’s Red Moon Slash coincided with it.
A loud explosion sounded, and the yellow protective shield suddenly shattered into four or five pieces.
Luo Yuebai’s Red Moon Slash also dissipated.
However, Cao Qing’s Sword Flight was no longer stable due to the energy clash.
Its speed slowed down once again.
His old face was increasingly panicked.
The storage ring on his hand flashed continuously.
Some were attack-type, while others were defensive.
As long as they could help him survive, he didn’t care if they were exhausted.
From that Red Moon Slash earlier, he had already realized that Luo Yuebai, who was chasing him, was much stronger than him!
If he were caught or entangled, he would likely end up dying together with the Huayang Sect.
“Eight seniors, the demonic thief is being too arrogant!”
“Please lend me the power of the Huayang Sect!”
“Let’s destroy the demon together!”
However, all the talismans he tossed out couldn’t stop Luo Yuebai at all.
Cao Qing’s fear grew more intense.
The shadow of death loomed over his heart.
He couldn’t help but call out to the eight Golden Core cultivators below.
If the eight of them were willing to help, he might still have a glimmer of hope.
Upon hearing Cao Qing’s cry for help, the eight Golden Core cultivators below looked even more displeased.
The sudden appearance of the demonic path was beyond their expectations.
Their sect, which prided itself on being the orthodox sect on the Qingzhou land, had the responsibility of eradicating demons.
But today’s situation was complicated, and they didn’t have a good impression of the Huayang Sect.
Moreover, it was a common practice in the cultivation world to mind one’s own business and not get involved in others’ affairs.
They didn’t want to take action.
But Cao Qing had already actively sought their help, and if they didn’t lend a hand, it wouldn’t look good if the news got out.
The eight people looked at each other and hesitated.
“Today, the greatest opportunity on Clear Wind Mountain has already been seized by the Huayang Sect!”
“The strongest cultivator, Long Yunfei, who came from the Huayang Sect’s main branch, and the sect master of this branch have already escaped.”
“It’s clear that they’ve already abandoned this branch, so why should we bother to get involved?”
“That’s right, since the Huayang Sect has obtained the greatest benefit on Clear Wind Mountain.”
“If they suffer a little loss and give up some territory, it would be a fair trade.”
“……”
After a moment of silence, one of the eight people spoke up.
They had been searching for opportunities on Clear Wind Mountain for several days, but hadn’t obtained the greatest benefit.
Today, they had finally encountered a young girl with heavenly spiritual roots, but Senior iuchi had beaten them to it.
These eight people actually had some resentment in their hearts.
Thinking about this, they decided to choose to remain neutral and not take action.
They had no intention of helping anymore.
In fact, they were even prepared to flee at any moment.
After all, if the demonic path dared to take such a large-scale action on destroying a branch of the Huayang Sect, it was likely that they had more power than what was currently visible.
Although the eight of them were Golden Core cultivators, they knew about the demonic path’s strength.
Moreover, when Luo Yuebai took action earlier, they had already seen his background.
They knew that their sect, which they represented, would not be a match for Luo Yuebai’s backing if they were to take action alone.
So it was better not to get involved.
Just as the eight people were thinking this, Luo Yuebai’s voice came from the void.
“Li Nanshan, if you and the other eight sects don’t want my Evil Moon Sect to pay a visit to your sect, then stay right where you are!”
As soon as he spoke, Li Nanshan and the other seven Golden Core cultivators’ faces turned bitter again.
The people in the square were shocked once more.
The Evil Moon Sect!
The strongest demonic sect in the Qingzhou region!
“It’s over, it’s actually the Evil Moon Sect!”
“I’ve heard that every disciple of the Evil Moon Sect is a ruthless demon who kills without blinking, leaving no survivors wherever they go!”
“I just came to attend the Huayang Sect’s awakening ceremony, and I never thought I’d be leaving my life here!”
“Huayang Sect is finished, we’re probably finished, and the entire Linjiang City will be unable to be protected…”
“But why is the Evil Moon Sect interested in this small place?”
“……”
The people in the square, who were watching the scene unfold, felt a sense of despair wash over them.
The three words “Evil Moon Sect” had a tremendous impact on them.
Not only did they affect ordinary cultivators, but even Cao Qing, who was still fleeing, felt a chill run down his spine.
Although he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he still felt an instinctive fear when he heard the three words “Evil Moon Sect”.
“Sir, what has our Huayang Sect done to offend the Evil Moon Sect?”
When Cao Qing asked this question, Luo Yuebai didn’t hesitate to answer.
“There’s no offense, it’s just that someone from your Huayang Sect took something that didn’t belong to them!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he made a hand seal, and another Red Moon Slash shot towards Cao Qing.
At this point, Cao Qing had used up all his talismans.
He knew that the eight Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t help him.
Continuing to flee would only lead to a faster death.
He suddenly turned his flying sword around and chose to face Luo Yuebai head-on.
He saw him make a hand seal, and a virtual palm print condensed and shot towards the Red Moon Slash.
But there was still a gap in their strength.
Cao Qing’s virtual palm and the Red Moon Slash clashed, and his palm was instantly cut open.
The Red Moon Slash continued to slash towards him, its power unabated.
“Ah!”
As the Red Moon Slash passed by, Cao Qing’s right arm suddenly fell off at the shoulder.
He lost his balance in an instant.
His face turned pale, and his Sword Flight was no longer possible.
He fell towards the ground, his body tilting to one side.
Cao Qing’s heart was filled with despair once again.
But at this moment, he saw Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang standing not far from where he was falling.
Cao Qing had previously tried to downplay his own existence and didn’t think that Senior Jiuchi had left because of Shuang Jiang.
But he knew that Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang were in cahoots with Luo Yuebai!
Even though he had seen Chen Jinshi being killed by Su Jingzhen, he didn’t think he couldn’t take them down.
He was confident that even if he lost an arm, he was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
He would always have a fundamental difference from Qi Refining cultivators.
At this moment, in Cao Qing’s eyes, Su Jingzhen was his only hope for survival.
He knew that some demon heads, although brutal, were extremely loyal.
If Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang were indeed friends with Luo Yuebai, perhaps they could spare their lives after being taken hostage!
Given the current situation, Cao Qing deeply understood that no matter what, he had to give it a try.
Immediately, relying on his remaining spiritual energy, Cao Qing quickly approached Su Jingzhen, his aura instantly locking onto him.
Su Jingzhen was stunned.
Hadn’t he already made a big show of himself today? How could someone still treat him like a pushover?
Wasn’t the corpse of Chen Jinshi in front of him, not gruesome and eye-catching enough?
Moreover, at this moment, he saw Shuang Jiang quietly take a step back, standing behind him.
Clearly, she didn’t intend to intervene.
Su Jingzhen was helpless; it seemed he was being forced to do business again.
A bitter smile appeared on his lips, but his hand had already grasped that black brick!
