Chapter 769 - 270: Innate Five-Colored Earth
Under Hua Qing’s organization, these demon cultivators each offered a strand of their true spirit and swore an oath, thus pledging their complete allegiance to the Shen Family.
"The Celestial Aromatic Mountain area is too dangerous. You should first take them back to Yunshui City."
"This is my identity seal. Once you reach the Shen Family, you can temporarily stay in Yunshui City. After matters here are settled, I’ll personally take you to find a place to settle."
Shen Chongming took his seal from his storage bag and handed it to Hua Qing.
Hua Qing nodded and promptly bowed.
"Rest assured, Patriarch, I will certainly ensure their safe arrival at Yunshui City."
The demons also bowed and then followed Hua Qing towards Yunshui City.
Shen Chongming returned to Shen Wen’an and Xu Zhan, smiling as he said, "The strength of these hundreds of demon cultivators is decent. This time, it seems our Shen Family’s strength has significantly increased."
Shen Wen’an and Xu Zhan nodded, and the three of them continued to hurry to the location of the spirit.
The grand battle overhead continued.
On the devastated land below, below the Golden Core level, the cultivators continued to slaughter each other ceaselessly.
For the spirit atop the stone pillar, this area had essentially become a meat grinder!
The land, blasted with the techniques of various cultivators, was full of gaping holes, and the deep grooves plowed by sword qi and sword aura slowly filled with thick blood plasma!
The sharp scent of blood lingered in the air.
Shen Wen’an and his companions stood silently from afar, not intending to make a move.
To the Shen Family, this was just a dog-eat-dog fight, unrelated to them.
On the contrary, they hoped that the battling parties would exhaust their strength, making Yangnao Land more peaceful in the future.
Time flew by, and several hours passed.
As the spirit atop the stone pillar was about to absorb all the surrounding radiance and complete its transformation, Shen Wen’an, arms crossed, said in a deep voice, "It’s almost time. Send a message to your grandaunt to bring them over."
The Cyan Ruo Sword House needs the spirit.
Now that the spirit was about to complete its transformation, it was time for Huang Lingshan to bring the people from Cyan Ruo Sword House over.
Shen Chongming nodded, took a communication stone from his storage bag, and informed Huang Lingshan of the situation here.
Upon receiving the message, six Golden Core Sword Immortals from the Cyan Ruo Sword House immediately rushed over by sword control.
Zhai Yuqing of the Purple Mansion Realm still stood guard on a mountain peak not far from the Void Combination Corridor Array, preventing Feng Xi from Celestial Sandalwood Mountain from attacking Yangnao Land.
Celestial Aromatic Mountain.
On the chaotic battlefield, a cultivator from the Huangsheng Sect, with cultivation reaching the Half-Step Golden Core Realm, had a face full of blood and disheveled hair.
Looking up, he saw that the radiance atop the stone pillar was taking shape, and he immediately shouted with all his might!
"Old Ancestor, the spirit is about to take full form!"
His voice overshadowing the surrounding sounds of battle, shot skyward!
In the void above, various forces originally planned to team up to clear out the three from Huangsheng Sect led by Qu Yunhe first.
But after the battle began, each side harbored ulterior motives, and this clear divide quickly devolved into chaos.
Fifteen or sixteen Golden Core cultivators, unable to trust anyone but their own companions.
In such a situation, the pressure on Qu Yunhe’s side was greatly reduced.
"Old Ancestor, the spirit is about to take full form!"
The intermittent shouts from below the clouds reached Qu Yunhe and his companions, and they quickly exchanged glances.
"Senior Brother Qu, go quickly. We will cover your retreat!"
The goateed elder urgently transmitted the message and, ignoring his safety, wielded his Profound Iron Treasure Fan, drawing the Wushi Puppet entangled with Qu Yunhe onto his battlefield, planning to take on two opponents alone to allow Qu Yunhe to leave the battlefield and snatch the spirit below.
Although the elderly granny, with her white hair and youthful face, was now weak, she also braced her injured body to block a formidable monk from Jianan Temple.
"The spirit has taken full form!"
"That old scoundrel Qu Yunhe is already heading down!"
"Stop fighting! Go seize the spirit!"
"Get out of the way!!"
In the void, the fervently battling Golden Core cultivators noticed the actions of the three from Huangsheng Sect, and they all broke free from their opponents, transforming into streaks of light and chasing downward!
Golden Core cultivators have strong life force; after a day’s battle in the void, except for a few unlucky ones severely injured, most only experienced some depletion, with no Golden Core deaths.
Now that the Crimson Flame Radiance was about to form completely, these Golden Core cultivators had no desire to continue the fight, all rushing down!
"Third Uncle, it’s our turn now."
Watching as streaks of light rapidly descended from the cloudy void, Shen Chongming slowly raised the great bow in his hand.
Shen Wen’an nodded slightly, then flashed his figure toward Qu Yunhe, who was descending first!
"I’m coming too!"
Xu Zhan swung the Ink-Horn Poison Dragon Spear, crouched slightly, and with a powerful leap, charged into the void!
In the void, Qu Yunhe was rapidly descending, aiming to seize the Crimson Flame Radiance first and then flee.
But before he could approach the stone pillar, several sharp sword auras sliced through the void towards him!
Qu Yunhe quickly activated his Protective Spiritual Light Shield to block the sword auras, simultaneously identifying Shen Wen’an as the one who attacked.
His expression changed slightly, and he immediately spoke, "Fellow Daoist Shen, it’s me, Qu!"
Shen Wen’an stepped through the void with his sword, his voice chilly: "I know it’s you."
Qu Yunhe was momentarily stunned, and then, still harboring some hope, said, "Shen..."
"The fortune of my Shen Family isn’t that easy to take."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Wen’an continued.
