Ti quietly passed by as the attacks from the Yin Soul Tiger decreased the number of the Demon Sect's demon beasts. Their resistance also grew weaker, causing the Righteous Path to hesitate, torn between leaving or assisting the Yin Soul Tiger in attacking the last remaining mbers of the Demon Sect.
Currently, the Demon Sect's survivors include only the Sect Leader and a few Hall Masters and Guardians. The rest, all ordinary disciples, suffered losses that rely scratched the surface and would heal in a few days, posing barely any genuine harm to the Demon Sect.
The storm gradually began to subside, and the Yin Soul Tiger, after causing enough havoc, snorted loudly. It glanced disdainfully at the Righteous Path, then warily at Zhang Youji, preparing to make its escape.
Previously, its rampages would result in being driven back into an Array Cave within Po Sea, but mysteriously, this ti, no one intervened. The one who usually suppressed it rely stood by idly. With no suppression in sight, it was the perfect opportunity to escape.
However, the Yin Soul Tiger didn't leave straight away. Despite being a demon beast, it possessed intelligence. It took a few steps towards escape, then turned to observe Zhang Youji's reaction. Seeing no hindrance, it continued, cautiously observing him.
The Righteous Path mbers observed this situation, glancing at each other in uncertainty. Should they stop its escape? Risk reigniting the battle and repeating the Demon Sect's fate? Or let it leave, risking its capture by the Demon Sect?
"Senior Brother Ping Chu, what should we do? Should we stop the Yin Soul Tiger from leaving?" A Celestial Fragrance Sect elder inquired of Ping Chu Zhenren.
The crowd turned their gaze to Ping Chu Zhenren. The earlier slaughter had been thrilling, but now the potential escape of the demonized Yin Soul Tiger could spell disaster for countless innocents.
After a mont of silence, Ping Chu Zhenren shook his head, deciding against stopping the Yin Soul Tiger. Were he alone or rely representing the Taichu Sect, he'd act without hesitation. But with several righteous sects present, risking their lives for justice was too great a cost.
Even though they shared a strong sense of justice.
The crowd exchanged glances, wordlessly understanding the risk. With hundreds present, halting the Yin Soul Tiger could cost over half their numbers, leaving them vulnerable to a Demon Sect counterattack.
Despite this, there was lingering regret. Letting the Yin Soul Tiger go could devastate the nearby Po Sea Bay town, leaving few surviving townsfolk.
So in the Righteous Path watched the departing Yin Soul Tiger's back with regret, as if they'd committed a grave mistake, closing their eyes in resignation. The storm dissipated like a dream, leaving no sign of its forr presence.
Ye Tianfan was filled with helplessness, gazing at the weakened Motolo by Zhang Youji's side, clenching his fists tightly.
A gleam flashed in Ye Tianfan's eyes as he devised a plan: attack the Yin Soul Tiger to lure it toward the Demon Sect, then escape in the ensuing chaos.
He shook his head, realizing the slim chance of success. He might not even reach the Demon Sect's territory before falling to the Yin Soul Tiger's attacks.
But leaving without trying was unbearable for Ye Tianfan.
Sss whoosh!
Ye Tianfan smiled as he brandished the blazing Fire Lotus Sword, feeling sha over his earlier hesitation.
Tian Chu Zhenren had almost sacrificed his life to save him, yet he hesitated. Self-disgust welled up within Ye Tianfan for his indecision.
Ye Tianfan glanced at the advocates of righteousness, smiling slightly, before using Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission to communicate his plan to Zhi Chu Zhenren.
After sharing his plan, he mounted the Quick Travel Sword, becoming a red teor against the night sky, aiming for the Yin Soul Tiger.
"Nephew Tianfan! This is bad!" Zhi Chu Zhenren's face changed at the transmission, his expression growing grim upon seeing Ye Tianfan's figure.
The Righteous Path mbers watched Ye Tianfan in shock, turning their eyes to Zhi Chu Zhenren.
Zhi Chu Zhenren was truly anxious. Leaving might an losing Ye Tianfan forever, a burden he couldn't bear. Assisting Ye Tianfan ant risking half their numbers.
While Zhi Chu Zhenren wavered, the Fire Lotus Sword in Ye Tianfan's hand neared the Yin Soul Tiger.
"You go first; I'll save Nephew Tianfan and follow!" Zhi Chu Zhenren proclaid, unleashing the Doctor Sword, rushing to aid Ye Tianfan.
The elders exchanged looks, then suddenly laughed—such an opportunity to vanquish evil could not be missed.
"Dali Sect mbers, are you afraid of death?" Jia Dali questioned loudly.
Dozens of strong n from the Righteous Path shouted in reply, "No!"
"Then charge with !" Jia Dali bellowed, rushing toward the Demon Sect.
"We'll charge too; we can't let the Dali Sect take all the glory. We're part of this fight too!"
With cries of excitent, the Righteous Path lunged forward.
As Ye Tianfan's sword neared the Yin Soul Tiger, a dazzling light intercepted it, halting the attack.
The force from the block forced Ye Tianfan to step back.
"Let it go for now; we'll catch it later, but attacking now would complicate matters."
Hearing a familiar voice, Ye Tianfan recognized it as Motolo, his anger blazing anew.
