The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

"City Lord...I’m afraid I’m truly powerless now..." Ji Yunluo’s voice was already hoarse beyond recognition.

Several hours had passed, yet they were still in the same spot.

She felt her spiritual power rapidly draining away, and the glow of the thirty thousand spirit seals was growing dimmer.

Li Changhong’s hand gripping the sword was bulging with veins, watching helplessly as the breach expanded without any remedy.

In the next moment, a monstrous beast’s head protruded from the left side of the opening, its blood-red eyes fixed fiercely on the two of them.

The beast’s head was covered in sharp bone spikes, with corrosive black liquid dripping between its fangs, burning the passage walls into a sizzling white smoke.

Li Changhong hurriedly swung his sword to slash, but simultaneously, three more claws shrouded in black mist shot out from the right side!

Each claw blade glimmered with a ghostly cold light, and the claw tips gathered a terrifying power of space tearing.

"Beast!" Li Changhong was filled with fury, veins bulging on his forehead.

In an instant, the space at the breach violently distorted, and the three pitch-black void beast claws simultaneously tore through the light screen, rushing forward amidst chaotic space currents!

Where the claw blades passed, even the solid barriers of the passage were torn as easily as thin paper, revealing the twisted void beyond.

"Puh—" Ji Yunluo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the light screen formed by the thirty thousand spirit seals shattered more than half.

Her body swayed wildly, her emaciated frame dragged toward the opening by the violent suction, with her robe already torn in several places by the space currents.

"Master Ji!" Li Changhong’s eyes filled with rage, as his long sword emitted a dazzling blue light, instantly slashing out seven solid sword qi.

The sword qi collided with the beast claws, erupting in deafening explosions, causing the entire passage to tremble from the violent spiritual power fluctuations.

Seizing the moment, he grabbed the staggering Ji Yunluo: "Let’s retreat first, there’s no other option now!"

But at this critical moment, the hideous beast head on the left side of the breach suddenly opened its bloody mouth wide, spewing corrosive black mist full of fangs, aiming straight for their necks!

Li Changhong hurriedly swung his sword to block, but was forced to retreat by two claws suddenly attacking from the right.

Each backward step left deep imprints on the corridor floor.

"No, let me try again!"

Ji Yunluo stared at the void beast emitting a Spirit Slash Realm Perfection aura, with her murky eyes suddenly sparking with intense rage.

"It’s all because of you—"

She roared, fiercely wiping the blood from her lips, her murky eyes flashing a hint of determination.

Then, her trembling hands reignited the thirty thousand dim spirit seals around her.

"Buzz—"

The spirit seals transformed into countless silver chains, wrapping around the breach edge like living creatures.

This time, every chain pulsed with blood-red runes.

The chains interwove into a net, sealing the breach layer by layer.

"Seal it...for me!"

Her hoarse shout echoed within the passage.

The blood-red chains suddenly tightened, forcibly pushing the Spirit Slash Great Perfection void beast back by half a step.

The beast head let out a painful howl, its fangs sputtering corrosive black blood, burning the silver passage walls into charred pits.

But the cost was Ji Yunluo’s seven orifices started bleeding, the blood slipping down her wrinkle-laden cheeks.

"Master Ji!" Li Changhong looked worriedly, quickly placing a palm on her back, infusing her continuously with abundant spiritual power.

"Let’s go, we’ve done all we could!" Li Changhong said deeply, his voice filled with deep helplessness.

Ji Yunluo stared fixedly at the breach continuously spreading, her eyes full of unwillingness and pain.

Finally, she sighed long and nodded slowly.

Just as they were about to retreat—

"Buzz!"

A dazzling golden light suddenly flashed past them, so fast that even Li Changhong, with Spirit Slash Realm Perfection, only saw a fleeting shadow.

In the next second, tens of thousands of spirit seals poured out from that mysterious figure, roaring toward the breach...
