Outside the Cloud Dao Seeking Pagoda.
The cultivators, with a listless and almost exhausted appearance, were lying scattered all over the place. Their cultivation levels varied, and from time to time, rays of light flashed in the air, followed by more cultivators appearing, falling to the ground like dumplings.
They were all unable to withstand the fierce blood battle inside and were torn apart by the ferocious and crazy descendants of the Demon Race, then sent out by the tower spirit of the Cloud Dao Seeking Pagoda.
Due to the randomness of the teleportation, some people who had grudges with each other were thrown together, but now they were all powerless to act, so there was nothing to argue about.
"You idiots, you've embarrassed us!"
Kou Yunguan from the Jade Drop Divine Temple touched his chest and muttered with a frustrated expression. As a top seed of the sect, his status and position were naturally not low. This time, he went in with hundreds of fellow disciples, full of confidence, thinking that they could gain some opportunities and come back, but they ended up being completely defeated.
Being sent out by the Cloud Dao Seeking Pagoda meant that they had failed the test, and whatever benefits were inside, had nothing to do with them.
"Senior Kou, what should we do now?"
A nearby junior fellow disciple asked softly.
Kou Yunguan remained silent for a moment, sighed with frustration, and said, "What else can we do? Quickly recover and leave together. Otherwise, if we are targeted by some ill-intentioned people, it will be troublesome."
All the various pill resources they carried were basically exhausted inside, so now they could only rely on their own cultivation to recover. Naturally, the speed was a bit slow, but there was no other way.
Except for the senior brothers and sisters with the highest status in the sect, none of them had a life-saving jade talisman on them. If they died in this Grotto-Heaven secret realm, they would truly be dead, and there would be no chance to start over.
Just at this moment, a shuttle-shaped starship flew swiftly towards the area where the tall tower was located at the end of the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived several miles away.
"...We've arrived. According to the spiritual resonance of the Lingji Dao rhyme, Junior Brother and the others should be in this area... Huh? Why are there so many injured cultivators here? What happened?"
On the front deck of the starship, Luo Wanqing's voice sounded surprised.
Xue Bingxuan put away the starship and looked at the hundred-zhang tall white tower, pondering, "Junior Sister should be inside, as for these guys, most likely they failed the restriction test inside and were kicked out."
As the eldest senior sister, Xue Bingxuan had traveled through the Extreme Void Starry Sky for many years, exploring and encountering many dangerous places and ancient cave mansion ruins. Her experience was extremely rich, so it was not difficult for her to speculate on the cause and effect.
"That makes it easier! Let's deal with these disgusting pests first, and then go in to find Junior Brother."
Qi Yalan held up her flying sword with a cold expression. She had already seen that among the cultivators lying on the ground, there were quite a few disciples and followers of the Shadow Assassin Temple, as well as some people from the Jade Pearl Star Palace and the Jade Drop Divine Temple. In addition to their current state being somewhat bad and powerless to act, what was there to hesitate about?
"Alright, let's take care of business first!"
The four women smiled at each other and swiftly descended like streaks of light.
Even if they were only dealing with the enemies, it would still take some time to handle all the tens of thousands of cultivators present.
At this moment, the many cultivators on the ground also saw the actions of the four women and immediately began to clamor and shout. Unfortunately, due to their depleted mana and exhausted spirits, they were unable to make any decent response.
"...What are you doing? What are you going to do?"
"You few bitches dare to kill disciples of our Jade Drop Divine Temple? Aren't you afraid of triggering a full-scale war between the two sects? Our ancestor will never let you go!"
"Senior Sister Xue, there is no festering grudge between our Qingxuan Sect and your Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. There's no need to be so ruthless."
"Sister Luo, please save me! Our Nanji Immortal Dynasty and your Ancient Witch Country have been intermarried for generations. You can't treat us like this..."
"Princess Qi, I have a treasure map from the Ancient Heavenly Lord's Cave Mansion. As long as you promise to spare me, I am willing to offer this opportunity with both hands..."
In order to save their lives, the cultivators in the field pleaded, threatened, warned, and cursed. The chaotic clamor filled the air.
Unfortunately, Xue Bingxuan and her three companions turned a deaf ear to them. Thousands of sword lights crisscrossed the field, targeting the disciples and followers of the opposing forces, brutally attacking them. In an instant, heads rolled and blood flowed like rivers.
Cultivators have strong minds and will not easily be swayed by external factors. In other words, they have hearts of stone. Do they think they can change their minds with a few soft words of pleading or some beautiful promises? That's just wishful thinking.
"Hurry up, or it will be too late!"
Xue Bingxuan communicated with her three companions through divine sense. Sword radiance, spanning over a hundred zhang, swept across the field. Wherever it passed, hundreds of disciples from the Shadow Assassin Temple were shattered, their heads falling to the ground. Even their souls were unable to escape and were directly annihilated by the terrifying sword qi.
Since they were already mortal enemies who would fight to the death, it was better to take advantage of this rare opportunity to weaken the other side as much as possible. As for the outbreak of a sect war, that was a matter for the future. If they didn't do it now, would the relationship between the two factions improve?
Therefore, Xue Bingxuan and her three companions had no mercy or tolerance. They killed ruthlessly, racing against time. They didn't even have time to search the bodies for treasures.
"Forget it, a bunch of despicable scum! We'll see what happens after we leave!"
Finally, some cultivators couldn't bear it any longer. They gritted their teeth and self-detonated their arms or legs, using the Blood Escape divine ability to escape with their bodies and souls.
Although this method allowed them to survive, it inevitably caused severe damage to their cultivation. It would take hundreds or even thousands of years of arduous cultivation to recover.
However, with the rapid progress of Xue Bingxuan and her three companions' cultivation, it was unnecessary to ask whether they would have the ability to seek revenge in hundreds of years.
In a short time, there were only about thirty percent of the tens of thousands of cultivators left in the field. These were the forces that had a good relationship with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace or had no conflicts of interest with them.
"Alright. As long as you behave yourselves, you can safely leave after you recover!"
Xue Bingxuan said, and these frightened cultivators felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They all swore not to interfere with anything concerning them.
Qi Yalan and Luo Huan began to clean up the battlefield, collecting the robes, weapons, and accessories from the bodies. They didn't have time to carefully count them and hastily packed them into several large beast skin bags.
Only Qin Muling's spatial storage could accommodate a large number of spatial law weapons, so these items could only be entrusted to him later.
However, while they were busy, the Cloud Dao Seeking Pagoda was not idle. Cultivators who had exhausted their energy were continuously being teleported out and scattered randomly in the surrounding area.
There was nothing to say about this. Qi Yalan and Luo Huan patrolled back and forth, killing anyone from hostile forces and temporarily sparing those from friendly or neutral forces.
"What should we do now? Should we wait outside and not go in?" Luo Wanqing asked.
"Yes, let's wait!" Xue Bingxuan said, "I believe that with Junior Brother's luck, he will definitely be able to hold on until the end. Whatever opportunities are inside, if he obtains them, it will be no different from us obtaining them. There's no need to go the extra mile."
On another level of consideration, in case Qin Muling and the others failed and were teleported out, there would be someone to receive them. Otherwise, if people from other hostile forces rushed over from elsewhere and followed their example, the consequences would be troublesome.
