548 Lu Tianyi’s group (1/2)
The skeletal Division Leader returned to the location of the Towering Tree Yao a while later.
On the branch of the tree, Zhao Feng had a pale expression, and sweat could be seen on his forehead. Even the Towering Tree Yao seemed weak.
The skeletal Division Leader understood when it saw this. At the same time, it started to think. Zhao Feng was the weakest it had ever seen him.
Zhao Feng had expended a lot of energy, and if he continued for a bit longer, he would have nothing left.
“Master, if we had held on just a bit longer, we could’ve killed them all.”
The skeletal Division Leader said somewhat regretfully.
Zhao Feng didn’t use all his strength, so the skeletal Division Leader had no chance to turn the tide.
“Skeletal Division Leader, I didn’t continue because I was wary of you. Even if I have no energy left, you won’t have a chance.”
Zhao Feng glanced at the skeletal Division Leader and its heart jumped. It seemed that none of its thoughts could be hidden from Zhao Feng.
“Then, Master means…?”
The skeletal Division Leader said carefully.
Being in the Purple Saint Ruins and teaming up with the Towering Tree Yao, Zhao Feng’s power was almost heaven-defying; he could control any beast with his Eye of Heaven.
“If we killed that group, the price we’d pay would be huge.”
Zhao Feng’s eyes looked up toward the sky.
The expressions of the three sects’ spectators froze. Zhao Feng seemed to be looking right at them.
“Luckily, Elder Shui Yun specializes in healing. If it was a normal Sovereign, they might’ve died already.”
“No matter what, she was able to survive.”
The members of the three sects discussed.
Although Elder Shui Yui lost, her calm attitude made others feel admiration. After all, the enemy they were facing was a monster.
When the spatial hole stabilized once more, they could send in a more powerful group that was geared more toward fighting.
The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess’ expression was calm, but everything that happened made all the three sects’ members become more solemn.
During the next couple days, Zhao Feng didn’t allow the skeletal Division Leader to pursue Elder Shui and company. Instead, they focused on fixing the repair array and constructing Yuan Qi arrays.
The skeletal Division Leader’s main task was still to craft the cursed ghost-corpses, and Zhao Yufei also helped build some arrays.
Within three days’ time, Zhao Feng’s eye-bloodline power had recovered a lot and he could control some beasts to help out again.
In that period of time, Elder Shui Yun and company were still recovering. The former’s injury was too severe, so even though she specialized in healing, it would take her a long time to return to her peak.
Furthermore, the other members had all been eroded by the power of the curse. Elder Shui Yun needed to help them purify it, and she had to spend a lot of her energy in the process.
If it were a normal Sovereign instead of Elder Shui Yun, they would be unable to get rid of the curse-power at all.
She couldn’t just not do anything, otherwise at least half of the group would die.
On top of that, Elder Shui Yun felt uneasy. It was as if there was an eye watching them from somewhere.
Finally, on the fourth day, the group faced danger. Four or five beast hordes surrounded the valley they were healing in.
Boom~~~~
Hundreds upon thousands of beasts soon turned the canyon into flat ground.
The beast hordes were led by half-step Origin Core Realm beasts that kept on annoying them, so Elder Shui Yun’s group was forced to fight.
For the next couple days, this situation would happen all the time, so they were unable to rest.
These beasts didn’t act normally. They had high intelligence.
Some of them even had special talents. For example, some beasts could jump out from the ground while others could turn invisible. Some specialized in mental energy and released deadly poisons.
After all, the Purple Saint Ruins was extremely ancient, so there were many weird beasts.
On the fifth day, the group had its first casualties.
Elder Shui Yun helped the surviving members and healed them. She was exhausted.
Zhao Feng’s ambushes and tactics were extremely cunning. He aimed at the weaker members of the group instead of Elder Shui Yun.
Elder Shui Yun’s attitude and strength were impenetrable. Zhao Feng admired her, however, he targeted the weak points of the group, which meant that Elder Shui Yun couldn’t focus on healing herself. As time passed, more and more casualties appeared.
At the end, even the Eye of Heaven would ambush them from time to time.

_Wind Lightning Eye Flame!_

_Azure Lightning Slash!_

_Illusion Maze!_

Zhao Feng’s Eye of Heaven either forced the group into desperation or took a life away.
Members died every day. At the end, only Elder Shui Yun, Ye Yanyu, and another half-step Origin Core Realm were left.
