”Retreat! Everyone, retreat for now!” the golden giant on the summit growled thunderously. The Righteous Alliance was far more difficult to deal with than they had imagined, and it would be very difficult for them to win in the situation as it stood.

Buzz!

When a tree fell, the monkeys would scatter. The men in black at the base of the mountain were the first to retreat, and then the men in black midway up the mountain frantically fled into the darkness. Finally, the three bamboo hat men began their escape.

”Hmph! Don't even think about it!”

With a bone-chilling cry, the Righteous Alliance Vice Lord gave chase, his robes flapping in the wind.

But a moment later, a white fog swept toward Song Yuanyi and the vice alliance lord.

”Careful!” a voice warned from behind him.

The vice alliance lord also seemed apprehensive. One could see at a glance that there was poison in this fog, but he was not too worried. Rumble! White Stellar Energy roared out of his body, instantly scattering the fog. The remaining power in this attack rumbled forward and struck the bamboo hat man who was farthest behind in the back.

Fwoosh!

This attack came with incredible speed, and even though the third bamboo hat man had somewhat prepared himself, he still could not endure the power of the Universal Sundering Art. His Stellar Energy instantly crumpled as a grievous injury was inflicted on his body, causing him to vomit blood.

This energy caused his body to hurtle forward, flipping over in the air several times, but he was also able to use this energy to swiftly escape into the darkness.

”Guangting, forget it! Don't pursue a cornered enemy!” Seeing that the vice alliance lord wanted to continue the chase, Song Yuanyi called out to stop him.

This momentary delay was enough for all the men in black in the distance to completely vanish from sight.

Since the enemy had fled, Xie Guangting could only give up on the pursuit and turned to Song Yuanyi.

”Yuanyi, what's going on here? Where did such powerful opponents come from, and with such bizarre arts?”

”The origin of these men in black is unknown, and I cannot answer your question. We should treat the wounded first and talk about this matter later.”

Song Yuanyi's face was rather pale. It was clear that he had been injured in that fierce battle. Slowly, he walked down from the sky.

Swish!

He scanned the area, a hand reaching out from his sleeve and lightly flicking. Ten-some bolts of energy flew through the air, each one entering the body of a wounded Righteous Alliance disciple who had fallen.

Song Yuanyi had not dared to consume too much energy before the defeat of his opponent, but now that the battle was over, he could spend his energy liberally.

”Ah!”

With cries of pain, those motionless Righteous Alliance disciples began to cough and slowly get up.

Their breathing was still weak, but color was rapidly returning to their faces while their wounds were rapidly closing.

”Alliance Lord!”

Seeing Song Yuanyi, these people all bowed, but Song Yuanyi ignored them, swiftly walking past these people. Boom! With a wave of his sleeve, he sent out a boundless wave of Eternal Spring Stellar Energy. Wherever this wave passed, many of the fallen Righteous Alliance disciples began to stand up, the injuries on their bodies healing.

Even some of the Righteous Alliance disciples who had been poisoned by the Celestial Powder were cured by Song Yuanyi's Eternal Spring Stellar Energy and began to awaken.

Rumble! Song Yuanyi's Eternal Spring Mantra poured down the slopes of the mountain. Many Righteous Alliance disciples stood back up, but many more remained motionless on the slopes.

Many of these people had been killed in the battle with the men in black, but a significant portion had also taken in too much Celestial Powder. Not even Song Yuanyi's Eternal Spring Mantra had any effect on them.

As Wang Chong made his way up the mountain, he also noticed the miserable condition of the disciples who had been poisoned by the Celestial Powder.

The Celestial Powder this time is different. It seems to be much stronger!

The men in black had also used the Celestial Powder on him at Liuyao City, but that odorless and tasteless powder was meant for paralyzing Stellar Energy and capturing the target alive. The poison this time was much more lethal.

Fortunately, the night wind blew in only from one side, or the losses would have been much worse, Wang Chong quietly said to himself.

The vast majority of these dead disciples were on the eastern face of the mountain. The organization of men in black had sprinkled the poison powder in the wind, catching these disciples completely off guard and poisoning them.

Wang Chong could see that their skin, fingernails, lips, and faces had started to shrivel up and turn black. They were already thoroughly dead, and their bodies were contorted as if they had experienced immense pain before death.
