“We can’t let the enemy approach any closer!” Yang Li Ting said in a resolute voice, “Intercept them!”
After shouting so, without any hesitation, he activated his Movement Skill and rushed towards the enemy forces.
The other six old men also rushed to keep up, only the fat old man from the Huo Family paused for a moment to glance at Yang Kai with a look of regret and guilt. A faint groan leaking from his lips, he immediately shouted to Ye Xin Rou, “Ye Family girl, everything here is now your responsibility, no matter how you do it, you must let everyone here safely withdraw to the Central Capital!”
“Yes.” Ye Xin Rou quickly responded.
The speed of the black cloud’s approach was astonishing, a moment ago it was still just a dot on the horizon, but during the brief conversation that had just occurred, it had already closed to within twenty kilometers of War City. Even with Yang Li Ting and the other Grand Elder using their fastest speed, the farthest they could intercept them would still be less than ten kilometers from War City.
In the next moment, a startling battle broke out.
The black cloud broke apart, revealing three people from the inside.
One of them had arcs of lighting surrounding him, one of them was a burly giant that gave off an astonishing Blood Force, and the last one sat upon a mighty Monster Beast.
Lightning Flash Shadow King, Tyrannical Force King, Thunderbolt Beast King !
Even though it was three versus seven, and they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, the three Great Evil Kings from the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land looked calm while the seven old men from the Eight Great Families were the nervous ones.
Close behind these three there was a huge spider. This spider had a human face yet the body of a spider, giving it an extremely strange appearance.
This face was extremely beautiful and enchanting, seemingly belonging to a young woman in her mid-twenties with long supply hair, but coupled with the giant spider body it was attached to, it only appeared even more horrifying.
“Spider Mother?” Yang Kai called out in surprise, immediately recognizing the origin of this giant spider Monster Beast, it was none other than the Seventh-Order Monster Beast he had encountered with Shan Qing Luo.
Why was it here as well?
“Hm, there’s actually such a Monster Beast here, it’s the first time I’ve seen one like it.” Shui Ling also exclaimed, “However… it’s a pity, without the Beast Transformation Pond, she’ll never be able to truly take human form.”
“Treasurer Meng, what do you think?” Yang Kai hurriedly asked Meng Wu Ya.
“The situation isn’t optimistic,” Meng Wu Ya slowly shook his head. Although he had no way to undo the seal on his true strength right now, his vision and knowledge were still far above anyone else present. “Your Eight Great Families’ Above Immortal Ascension Boundary masters are all among the weakest in their realm while those three on the other side are stronger, so even though the numbers are on their side, those seven people won’t be able to stop them and in all likelihood… will all die here!”
Yang Kai couldn’t help paling slightly.
Meng Wu Ya’s assessment of the situation was surely straightforward and accurate; after all, he had already personally fought against the seven Grand Elders last night and knew their bottom line. Yang Kai had originally thought that with the seven of them defending War City, there wouldn’t be any immediate danger, but now it seems like the best he could hope for was for them to stall the enemy for a while.
“Treasurer Meng, what means do you have to deal with this situation.” Yang Kai said with a great sigh as he stared helplessly at Meng Wu Ya.
Meng Wu Ya on the other hand grinned lightly, “Why are you so sure I have a way out of this?”
“Your treasured apprentice is here, if you really felt like you couldn’t handle this situation, you wouldn’t be acting so calmly.” Yang Kai said with a forced smile.
The absolute gap in strength was not something that could be compensated for using paltry tricks, so Yang Kai could only depend on the unfathomable Meng Wu Ya right now.
Treasurer Meng turned his head and replied solemnly, “If you choose to leave here right now, only about ten percent of these people will be able to survive, but with this old master and Brother Ling’s protection, you don’t have to worry about your safety, it’s no problem for us to lead you away from here.”
“I want everyone here to survive!”
Meng Wu Ya suddenly grinned, “I knew you would say that.”
Everyone of his allies couldn’t help showing a faint smile, even those from the Endless Sea Islands who had just arrived here an hour or so ago were slightly surprise.
Ye Fang and Hua Duan Hun approached Li Yuan Chun and quietly asked, “Senior Li, what should we do?”
Li Yuan Chun stared deeply at Yang Kai and then at Meng Wu Ya before replying, “For now, we should stick together with them, if the situation deteriorates further, this old master will take that little brat away from here. As for all of you, you’ll have to find your own way out.”
Yang Kai’s survival was of paramount importance right now as only he knew the whereabouts of all of the Endless Sea Islands great Sects’ Hallowed Treasures, which had been lost hundreds of years ago. Therefore, Li Yuan Chun couldn’t allow anything to happen to him.
“Good.” Ye Fang and Hua Duan Hun nodded lightly, immediately agreeing with Li Yuan Chun’s proposition.
Meng Wu Ya quickly added, “Those three should just be the vanguard of the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land. I’m afraid that the rest of their army will arrive in short order. On top of that, you see over there… that Thunderbolt Beast King brought a lot of Monster Beasts with him as well.”
Turning his eyes in the direction Meng Wu Ya indicated, Yang Kai could see that a few dozen kilometres away, a cloud of dust was slowly rising from the ground. Amidst this cloud were countless Monster Beast figures. Sweeping them with his Divine Sense, Yang Kai’s expression couldn’t help becoming dignified.
The weakest of these Monster Beasts was actually at the Fifth-Order, while a large number of them had actually reached the Sixth-Order.
