Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen both appeared silently next to Tang Xiu. Both of them wore similarly strange expressions and looked at Tang Xiu with inquisitive eyes.

“You guessed it right, guys. That’s that Fire Qilin,” whispered Tang Xiu. “It’s just I never thought this guy was so powerful. It didn’t seem it wanted to kill us then, else we’d have died in its hand no matter how fast we ran.”

“Well, could it be that the natural array outside the underground labyrinth was broken?” asked Miao Wentang in a whisper. “How could it come out, then?”

“My guess is that natural array didn’t trap it, but instead has been used by this thing to block outsiders from entering the underground space to enter its nest,” answered Tang Xiu. “However, although its strength is powerful, it is just on par with that demonic beast and even slightly weaker.”

Miao Wentang’s complexion changed and he hurriedly asked, “Then what should we do? That Fire Qilin suddenly appeared here. It’s like our savior, you know. If it can’t slay that dreadful demonic beast, we’re as good as dead already!”

Tang Xiu fell into silence for a while. Then, he suddenly looked at Han Qingwu and said in a deep voice, “If you don’t wanna die, join me in helping that Fire Qilin. We can only survive by killing that demonic beast.”

“I’ll do whatever you tell me to do.” Han Qingwu directly nodded.

Brows slightly scrunched up, Tang Xiu immediately sat cross-legged and arranged the Spiritual Energy Gathering Array with 36 Demon Cores. He then began to communicate with the stars in the universe and frantically absorbed astral power.

The fight between the Fire Qilin and Bloodfiend Monarch could only be said as dreadful. Their battlefield started at the blockade line to the depths of the Himalayas. Cultivators with weak cultivation levels were simply unable to judge which one was stronger or weaker. However, what made them rejoice was that the Fire Qilin came right at the time the crisis was going to befall upon them, for they knew that they would’ve died already otherwise.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Four figures flickered lightning-fast from the distance. As they appeared in the blink of an eye around Tang Xiu’s spot, Tang An’s figure then emerged before she disappeared, while Tang Guan, Chi Nan, and Kuwako quickly looked at Tang Xiu.

“What happened to Grand Master, Mo Awu?!”

Tang Guang immediately asked while looking at Tang Xiu, who was covered in blood and sitting cross-legged.

“Sovereign used an array to kill tens of thousands of demonic beasts, but it made him seriously injured,” answered Mo Awu. “He’s now seizing the time to heal and restore his power.”

“But he doesn’t have any other major problem, right?” asked Tang Guang hurriedly.

“There shouldn’t be any.” Mo Awu shook his head and said, “Sect Master will be back to his prime condition as long as there’s more time.”

The rest around Tang Guang secretly let out a sigh of relief after hearing it.

At this moment, Duanmu Lin dashed towards Tang Xiu. He had discovered that tens of thousands of demonic beasts were quickly advancing towards them.

Whoosh!

Xue Yu then appeared out of nowhere and blocked Duanmu Lin’s path as she said faintly, “Senior Duanmu, Tang Xiu is currently recuperating, so please don’t bother him!”

Her emergence shocked Duanmu Lin. She literally appeared like a ghost! After halting his pace, he calmly observed her and then immediately asked in surprise, “How… did you become this powerful? Shouldn’t you… ah… don’t tell me Tang Xiu also taught you some skills?”

“How I became this powerful is not your business, is it, Senior Duanmu?” replied Xue Yu faintly. “If the news is correct, you should be the commander in this operation to fight these demonic beasts, yes? Now that we’re fighting the horde of demonic beasts, don’t you just need to fight them?”

“We got too many demonic beasts, that’s why.” Duanmu Lin forced a smile and said, “Tang Xiu killed tens of thousands of them, but we can’t face them with the overall strength of the human cultivators. That’s why I came here quickly. I just wanna ask whether Tang Xiu can arrange another array to aid us in killing them.”

“As I said, he’s recuperating now, so I don’t care about any of your problems.” Xue Yu shook her head and said, “Please wait until he himself comes to see you.”

“But this…”

Duanmu Lin hesitated for a moment. But he finally sighed before turning around and leaving.

Xue Yu paced forward and came flying to Tang Xiu’s side. She then took out an exquisite jade box from her interspatial ring, put it in front of Tang Xiu, then softly said while standing, “Sis Yan’er gave me this Essence Soul Condensing Pill. She said it would be helpful to you.”

Tang Xiu opened his eyes and felt ecstatic inwardly. The Essence Soul Condensing Pill was a great elixir even in the Immortal World. Not only did it have a great effect on improving one’s spiritual sense with the cultivation below the Immortal Stage, but taking it could also make one advance directly and greatly increase their strength rapidly.

“This came in the time of need, indeed!”
