Chapter 1314: 723 Chapter Goodbye_2 Chapter 1314: 723 Chapter Goodbye_2 “I will clear the path ahead; Sect Master Chen and Junior Sister Yuan will cover the rear. She has exhausted her elental energy using the Green Mirage Bottle, so if danger arises, please take care of her,” Ye Qing offered, and Chen Mobai naturally had no objections.
After finishing his words, Ye Qing transford into a streak of sword light and instantly landed at the very front of the formation.
Chen Mobai imdiately used his divine sense to transmit sound, directing the cultivators of the Five Elents ridians. Under the guidance of the leading Foundation Establishnt Practitioners from each vein, the groups began to retreat towards the ruins’ outskirts in an orderly sequence.
Fortunately, on the way here, Chen Mobai had instructed Gu Yan to map out the terrain from the air, so even though they were now retreating on the ground, they were still able to maintain their direction with the help of the map.
To avoid conflicts with the demonic beasts and to escape the attention of the Fourth Order Golden-eyes Azure Toad, the group deliberately avoided paths with Third Order Demon Beasts settling in.
Because of this, they had to take a significantly longer detour.
However, the daunting pressure from the Fourth Order Demon Beast kept everyone tense, closely following the main group, terrified of being left behind.
According to the rules of the Tianhe Realm, those who dare to slow down during a retreat may be abandoned or even executed by the leaders, an action that everyone endorsed and celebrated.
After the previous battle within the Mirage Fog, both the mbers of the Five Elents Sect and the loose cultivators understood that if they were left behind here, they would never escape back to the Eastern Wilderness.
Fortunately, Gu Yan’s map was quite accurate, and with Ye Qing leading the way reliably, they encountered only minor trouble.
At about three hundred li away near a river, they ran into a large group of hiding fish demons.
Chen Mobai and Ye Qing struck together; their crisscrossing sword lights in a blink of an eye slaughtered the group of fish demons that had surfaced.
However, the number of fish demons in the river was countless.
After slaughtering this first batch, another batch surged towards them from the distant parts of the river.
“Cross the river quickly!” Chen Mobai advised as he pointed his finger and the “Red Misty Cloud Silk” unfurled from his sleeve, swiftly forming a bridge of clouds over the river.
Protective cloud light railings rose on both sides of the cloud bridge, bolstered by his spiritual power, blocking the fiercely-teeth fish demons leaping from the water.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhen returned the talisman she had taken out from her storage bag.
Just when they thought they had resolved the issue, a sudden upsurge occurred in the distant river followed by an eruption of deep ice-blue demonic energy.
A Third Order Demon Beast was driving waves, along with nurous fish demons, sweeping towards them.
“I’ll handle it!” Ye Qing dropped these words after he had already drawn the longsword from his back. Standing on the river surface, he moved like a sharp sword cutting through the waves and vanished from the spot.
In no ti, Chen Mobai saw the large green fish hidden in the waves chopped in half, its dark red blood staining the incoming waves.
Yet, without the demonic energy’s enhancent, Chen Mobai easily suppressed the waves with the “Red Misty Cloud Silk.”
Amidst the flashing sword light, Ye Qing appeared before Chen Mobai holding a demon core and a piece of luminous green jade-like fish scale.
“This big green fish seed to have swallowed a Dragon Transformation Fruit or similar heavenly and earthly treasures. It actually had a dragon scale,” Ye Qing remarked, tossing the demon core and dragon scale to Yuan Zhen, who imdiately caught them.
After slaying the big green fish, the vast river finally cald down.
Once all the Eastern Wasteland Cultivators had crossed the river, Chen Mobai lightly waved his sleeve, retracting the “Red Misty Cloud Silk.”
Just then, several potent Third Order Demon Beasts’ presences surged from upper and lower streams of the river, driving massive waves towards them.
“Go!” Chen Mobai exchanged glances with Ye Qing, both speaking in unison.
Although they were capable of slaying these demonic beasts with their strength, they were unsure about the number of hidden demonic beasts in the ruins.
What if there were Fourth Order demonic beasts lurking in this vast river?
Thus, without any hesitation, they imdiately urged the cultivators who had reached the bank to retreat swiftly towards the direction of the Eastern Wilderness.
Fortunately, the only surprise turned out to be this wide river.
Subsequently, the demonic beasts within the mountains and rivers of the ground below were mostly recorded by Gu Yan during their aerial approach.
“If avoidance is an option, take it; if not, Chen Mobai and Ye Qing were the ones to act, eliminating all threats as swiftly as possible, striving to avoid any loud disturbances.”
It was not until they had traveled 1200 li beyond the range of the Mirage Fog, ensuring that the Fourth Order Golden-eyes Azure Toad could not possibly see them, that Chen Mobai took out the Flying Boat and had everyone board.
By this ti, the Qi Practitioners were already utterly exhausted.
Even the Foundation Establishnt Practitioners appeared weary.
Once aboard the Flying Boat, Loose Cultivators imdiately took out various elixirs to consu, restoring their Spiritual Power and Essence.
The situation was quite varied among mbers of the Five Elents Sect.
However, cultivators from the Wood Vein did not consu any elixirs; instead, they took out Spirit Stones and began to ditate.
There were also so cultivators who were extrely fatigued; they consud Fasting Pills and imdiately fell into a deep sleep, allowing their bodies to rest and naturally recover their Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Upon waking up refreshed, they too used Spirit Stones to restore their Spiritual Power.
This scene took Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen by surprise.
As heirs of a Holy Land, they knew that frequent consumption of elixirs could destabilize one’s foundation, making it risky to break through to higher realms in the future.
But even though many were aware, not many cultivators had the self-discipline to act accordingly.
Even among the sect mbers of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, many consud elixirs to force their advancent, vying for resources and positions within the sect.
Yet, in the remote Five Elents Sect of the Eastern Wilderness, there were so many cultivators who could maintain such discipline, earning further respect for Chen Mobai as their Sect Leader.
They traveled another thousand li on the Flying Boat.
The group had now entered the ruins between the Eastern Wilderness and the East Barbarians, a region that, despite being ruins, was less dangerous due to the traffic between the two regions.
“Sect Master Chen, we will not be returning to the Eastern Wilderness.”
Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen flew over and landed on the Wood Vein’s Flying Boat, addressing Chen Mobai.
“Take care, both of you.”
Chen Mobai also bid farewell to the two, not ntioning any compensation, but clearly Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen were not ones to renege on their promises, with Yuan Zhen pulling out a fist-sized, crystal-clear Spirit Stone from her storage bag and handing it to him.
“This is… a Supre-grade Spirit Stone!”
Chen Mobai took it with a trace of surprise; upon touching it, he felt an imnse Spiritual Energy within and couldn’t help but appear startled.
Although he had three charged ones, this was his first encounter with such an untouched, full-energy Supre-grade Spirit Stone.
“This is too precious.”
While Chen Mobai truly desired it, he still politely refused at first.
“Sect Master Chen, please accept it. With the Supre-grade Spirit Stone in hand, you can break through realms anywhere. We hope you can co to the East Land in the future. With your talent, you are well-suited to compete for the position of Taoist Child in the First Origin Dao Palace.”
Yuan Zhen said with a smile, making Ye Qing beside her slightly puzzled.
This Junior Sister of his had always been rather high-spirited, previously even complaining that they were giving too many Spirit Stones to Chen Mobai. Why was she now not only switching to a Supre-grade Spirit Stone but also adopting such a gentle and soft deanor?
“Since that is so, I sincerely thank both True Persons.”
Hearing Yuan Zhen say this, Chen Mobai, who was already keen on the Supre-grade Spirit Stone, imdiately put it into his storage bag.
Just then, Yu Hai also flew over.
He and the other two from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect would travel with him to the East Barbarians and then take the Large-scale Transmission Array at Golden Crow Immortal City back to the East Land.
Of course, before returning, they still needed to make a trip to Kong Sang Valley to inquire about the matter of the Corpse Cultivator.
“Sect Master Chen, this is my ssage Talisman; rember to find us when you co to the East Land.”
Before leaving, Yuan Zhen handed another Taoist Talisman Paper to Chen Mobai, as Ye Qing had also done earlier.
“Until we et again!”
Chen Mobai took the ssage Talisman and bowed to the two.
