Chapter 678: Chapter 352: Rout and Pursuit (Extra for 200 Monthly Votes)

“Apart from me, Elder Mo and Junior Brother Liu have also arrived. We must obliterate the Green Flame Palace’s stronghold in North Cold Manor with the force of thunder.”

Gu Xinyuan’s expression was solemn.

“As for the issue that has arisen in Mount Han Manor, all our powers from Sanyuan Palace have already withdrawn.”

After retreating to North Cold Manor, their orders were to aid Elder Chen and others to take down the Cold Lake Origin Vein and eliminate the people of the Green Flame Palace.

Having just arrived at the Cold Lake Origin Vein, he saw Geng Yiyi being pursued and immediately rushed over to rescue her.

As for Elder Mo and Junior Brother Liu mentioned by him, they were already speeding towards the Cold Lake Origin Vein.

Once Geng Yiyi had mostly recovered, she said, “Senior Brother Gu, I’m fine now. You should quickly go and provide support.”

“Yiyi, I’m worried about leaving you here alone. If I go, and the disciple from Green Flame Palace returns, it would be a regret for life,” Gu Xinyuan said, his eyes filled with deep affection.

Geng Yiyi’s delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes swirling with emotion. She bit her lip and said, “I’ve dragged you down, Senior Brother.”

Elsewhere, after exchanging blows with the young man in purple, Lu Yun knew that it was impossible to slay the woman and immediately made a tactical retreat.

At the same time, he saw several powerful figures rushing towards the direction of the Cold Lake Origin Vein and knew right away that the reinforcements from Sanyuan Palace had arrived. He didn’t dare to delay and used the Instant Horizon technique, disappearing from the spot.

Meanwhile, the battle between Jing Tailan and the white-haired elder—both True Spirit Realm powerhouses—was still ongoing.

Jing Tailan, as an elder of Green Flame Palace, was formidable. Although he was only in the early stages of the True Spirit Realm, with the advantage of an array and the unmatched defensive Divine Ability of the Yuan Initial Golden Cauldron, he was able to fight toe-to-toe against a mid-stage True Spirit elder from Sanyuan Palace.

However, the situation for the three Unity Realm stewards and disciples of Green Flame Palace didn’t look good.

Especially for those disciples, the highest in cultivation level was Liu Tianhu, but he was only at the seventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm. Even with the support of an array, he could barely hold off a disciple from Sanyuan Palace at the ninth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.

As for the others, with lower realms and weaker strengths, it would take two or three of them to contend against a single disciple from Sanyuan Palace.

Yuan Yao was given special attention and was under attack by two ninth level Heavenly Human Realm figures.

Both these individuals were genius disciples from Sanyuan Palace with actual strength far beyond their apparent realms, and even with all her techniques deployed, Yuan Yao was still in grave danger.

“Senior Sister Yuan Yao, I’m here to help you!”

Seeing Yuan Yao in a precarious situation, Lu Yun took decisive action right away.

He had failed to kill Geng Yiyi, a Unity Realm figure, because her realm was high and her Divine Abilities were strong.

But the two attacking Yuan Yao were only at the Heavenly Human Realm, and to Lu Yun, slaughtering them was as easy as butchering dogs.

The God-Killing Blade flew out, destroying their souls, followed by a horizontal slash of the Blade Aura.

In almost the blink of an eye, one was killed.

The other disciple from Sanyuan Palace, upon seeing this, dared not continue the fight and immediately fled.

Yuan Yao wanted to pursue but was stopped by Lu Yun.

“Senior Sister Yuan Yao, strong reinforcements for the enemy have arrived. We must hurry and flee this place, or it’ll be too late,” Lu Yun said.

At those words, Yuan Yao paused and then, with a frown, asked, “Junior Brother Lu, are you certain of this?”

“At least five at the Unity Realm, plus another whose realm I’m not sure of, but if I’m not mistaken, should be another True Spirit Realm powerhouse,” Lu Yun replied.

Although it was just a brief glimpse, Lu Yun could sense the powerful aura emanating from the leading figure.

“If that is the case, then the Cold Lake Origin Vein is surely indefensible, and the senior officials of the sect will not hold us accountable later on,” Yuan Yao said with a serious expression, then immediately added, “Junior Brother Lu, can we take Xiaorui with us? Without someone to look after her, with her strength, she definitely won’t be able to escape from the land of North Cold Manor.”

“Let’s go, we must hurry,” Lu Yun responded.

Yuan Yao didn’t need to say it, for Lu Yun would have taken Chang Xiaorui with them anyway.

Yuan Yao sheathed her long sword and appeared beside Lu Yun in a flash, quickly leaving side by side. Soon they found Chang Xiaorui.

At that moment, Chang Xiaorui was engaged in a fierce battle with a seventh level Heavenly Human Realm disciple from Sanyuan Palace. Her strength clearly did not match her opponent’s, and her body was covered with wounds, her clothes soaked in crimson.

Just then, a golden light blade flew out. The Sanyuan Palace disciple didn’t have time to dodge and was slain by the God-Killing Blade.

“Xiaorui, don’t ask anything; just follow us,” Yuan Yao grabbed Chang Xiaorui and quickly caught up with Lu Yun’s pace.

Although confused, Chang Xiaorui, seeing the anxious looks on Lu Yun and Yuan Yao, forcibly suppressed her doubts.

Boom!

After repelling the enemy with the power of the Great Array and the Divine Ability of the Yuan Initial Golden Cauldron, Jing Tailan had no time to feel relieved before realizing a terrifying Sword Intent had erupted in the distance, slashing through the void.

Another True Spirit Realm powerhouse from Sanyuan Palace had arrived!

The expression on Jing Tailan’s face became utterly grave.

If there was only one True Spirit Realm opponent, he could barely manage to put up a fight with the help of the terrain and his Divine Abilities.

Against two True Spirit Realm powerhouses, there was no way he could withstand them.

“Disciples of Green Flame Palace, heed my command—abandon the Cold Lake Origin Vein and retreat from North Cold Manor.”

Jing Tailan bellowed, and immediately after, he activated the Yuan Initial Golden Cauldron again to counter the white-haired elder’s attack.

Next, he stepped forward, the sound of the cauldron stirring the void, showering golden light which forced the white-haired elder to swiftly retreat.

“Don’t wait any longer, attack now!” the white-haired elder swept his spear horizontally, canceling the oppressive power of the golden cauldron as he shouted.

No sooner had the words fallen than the Yin-Yang Sword Radiance tore across the sky, a slash that rent Heaven and Earth, cutting towards the escaping Jing Tailan.
