Chapter 107: A Small Chance to Survive (1/2)
The bracelet of holding was still flickering with flames when it landed on the ground.
It seemed that even Lai Yi, a cultivator at the Worldly Realm, had been unable to endure the heat of the flames released by the bracelet, and had no other choice but to temporarily throw it away in order to concentrate on his fight with the Blood sect expert.
However, when Nie Tian reached out to grab it, the flames that had wreathed it suddenly went out.
Without spending any effort, he picked up the bracelet and put it back on his wrist.
Then he sent a strand of his consciousness into the bracelet and saw that everything was still inside the storage space, where he also found that traces of fire were being absorbed by the Flame Dragon Armor…
Nie Tian immediately realized that the sudden changes that had occurred to the bracelet, which had caused it to unleash blazing flames, had actually been triggered by the Flame Dragon Armor.
As for the reason why the Flame Dragon Armor had done such a thing, it was because he had been constantly calling its name in his heart, and that the dragon bone in his hand grew unbearably hot.
“The Flame Dragon Armor, the Blood Core…” Nie Tian pondered for a while and suddenly exclaimed, “The Blood Core is the key!”
BOOM!
A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering sound echoed out from the sky. Everyone had been caught up in fierce battles and didn’t pay attention to the changes, but rather continued fighting their respective opponents.
Only Nie Tian raised his head to look at the sky after putting the bracelet of holding on his wrist.
There, he saw an enormous gray figure, which seemed to have been formed by a swarm of countless evil ghosts, rising from the main gate of the Spiritual Treasure sect and charging towards the sky.
It shot high up into the sky and immediately joined the woman who was sitting on the blood-colored lotus in attacking Fang Hui from the Treasure school.
Standing on a giant bronze cauldron, Fang Hui’s expression flicked upon seeing the enormous gray figure rise into the sky. Without any hesitation, he shouted out with a voice that everyone could hear, “All disciples of the Spiritual school and Treasure school are no longer required to guard the valley! Do all you can to escape and return only when the sect regroups!”
Upon hearing these words, Nie Tian’s expression slightly flickered.
He immediately realized that the enormous gray figure was definitely the Profound Realm expert from the Ghost sect!
If it was only the woman from the Blood sect, Fang Hui felt that with his strength, the Spiritual Treasure sect would still have a hope to make it through the battle.
However, the enormous gray figure soaring up into the sky made him realize that the strongest expert from the Ghost sect had also arrived.
He knew very clearly that he had no chance of winning a fight against two Profound Realm experts. At the most, he could keep the two of them busy and prevent them from immediately starting a massacre.
With the strongest experts from the Blood sect and the Ghost sect having arrived, it meant that the Ghost sect and the Blood sect had already played their trump cards.
There was no longer any possibility that the Spiritual Treasure sect could persist.
In order to preserve the strength of the sect, he ordered all of the disciples from the Spiritual school and Treasure school to stop defending the valley and find an opportunity to escape instead.
After hearing Fang Hui’s order, many Qi warriors from the Spiritual school and Treasure school were secretly grateful and immediately changed their plans, no longer determined to die with the sect.
“Let’s go! “
“The grand elder has spoken; no need to keep defending the sect! Let’s get out first!”
“Retreat to the Cloudsoaring sect, Grayvale sect, and Mystic Mist sect. They will definitely come to our aid once they receive the news.”
“As long as we can team up with the experts from the other three sects, we’ll still have a chance to reclaim the valley!”
…
HUFF! HUFF! HUFF!
Soon after Fang Hui gave the order, the numerous pillars of flame that had been blocking the area between the stone peaks suddenly shot up into the sky, converging into the enormous bronze cauldron.
Everyone, including the disciples of the Spiritual school and Treasure school and visiting guests, had noticed the changes that had occurred in the valley and let out loud shouts.
“The valley has lost its protection! The Heaven Burning Earth Flame formation has completely stopped working!”
“The grand elder has opened the gates for us!”
“Let’s get out of here!”
Nie Tian scanned his surroundings before his eyes suddenly lit up.
There were three stone peaks surrounding the valley that the Spiritual Treasure sect was located in, and between them there were three enormous gaps.
One of the gaps was the main gate to the valley, which was the only way to enter or leave the valley.
The other two enormous gaps had previously been completely blocked by two blazing walls formed by numerous flame pillars. They served as gates of fire, separating the valley from the outside world.
The advantage to having them in place was that experts from the Ghost sect and the Blood sect wouldn’t be able to enter the valley from those two gaps.
The disadvantage would be that disciples of the Spiritual school and Treasure school within the valley also wouldn’t be able to evacuate via those two gaps.
It was exactly because the blazing gates had sealed up the nearest gaps that Nie Tian had to follow Pan Tao and try to reach the outside world through the tunnel in the stone peak.
However, by this point, the flame pillars that had formed the blazing walls had been lifted up to the sky by Fang Hui’s enormous bronze cauldron, making those two gaps thoroughfares that led out of the valley.
Nie Tian noticed that after Fang Hui gave the permission to leave, many disciples from the Spiritual school and Treasure school rushed towards those two new exits.
Now, they were very close to one of them.
Liu Yan roared, “Nie Tian! Lingzhu, Ye Gumo! Don’t mind us! Just go!”
