Chapter 345 - Isolated (2/2)
The few wardens behind watched in shock as they said, “This devil ride is a fourth-order beast soul…”
The warden in purple said: “We can’t allow this devil to escape today, or there’ll be endless troubles. I will chase after him, you lot stay back and guard the spirit energy formation, in case the Devils’ sects attacks!”
……
They ran all the way, the ordinary envoys could not stop the devil ride, and finally, Xiao Chen managed to break out. Hearing that the sound of horseshoes, the devil ride desperately ran to the outside of the city. The cultivators, who had come around the town for the drama, hastily made way for the giant beast that was dashing towards them.
Just as they ran to a large square, countless golden Swords Qi fell from the sky. Ten over Sword Qi hit the devil ride in an instant, it soared and stood on its hind legs.
Guifeng immediately protected Xiao Chen from falling onto the ground. However, at this moment, countless figures gathered in the square from all directions. Except for those who just wanted to watch the drama, the rest were the Orthodox Path people from the sects of the five continents. The lowest cultivation level was at Core Forming Realm, the highest was at Nirvana Realm, whereby there were 7, 8 elders of that level, and there were also many cultivators in Nascent Soul Realm.
A man, a ride, and a soul, they were at this moment isolated, and there was no way to escape. The devil ride guarded its owner as it shook its head and snorted while stepping in place. Xiao Chen saw that Guifeng was exhausted, he said, “General, go back first.”
“General Guifeng is loyal to the Lord for all his life! He’ll die without regrets!” Although Guifeng was heavily injured, his domineering majestic aura still shocked many of those nearby who were watching. They thought, “How great would it be if I had a General of Soul like this?”
A blue-robed Nirvana Realm cultivator stepped forward and said coldly, “You are Xiao Chen? How dare you keep such devil being as your subordinate! You slaughtered in the city as you will, are you guilty!”
Xiao Chen sneered, “Haha! Why say more when you just want to charge me with a crime? Why not just say that I’m a devil!”
“Impudicity!” The blue-robed older man’s flipped his sleeve, and an enormous force slammed at Xiao Chen. Guifeng swung his blade and blocked the attack, “You villains! Framing the lord everywhere! Today, Guifeng is here, and you shall not be hurting the lord again, not even an inch!”
The old man in the blue robe squinted and said, “You’re just a fifth-order soul spirit and you dare to fanfaronade? Today I will let you perish eternally!”
Then, another purple and white sword radiance suddenly fell from the sky. It was the warden in purple and the warden in white who had arrived. At this moment, the two men’s clothes were ripped open, and they both looked like a drowned mouse. The blue robe old man looked at them and said jokingly, “Just a few days without seeing Your Excellency and you end up like this?”
The warden in purple said in a low voice, “The elders and the Four Sacred Guardians of the Immortals’ League can’t leave because they have to safeguard the spirit energy formation. You have come just right, quickly take down this devil!”
The older man in the blue robe wanted to take down Xiao Chen initially. At this time, both of his hands were placed in the sleeves. He smiled casually, “This is the business of your Immortals’ League. What does it have to do with me? I’m just passing by to take a look…”
“You!” The warden in the purple robe was about to make a fuss at that moment. But, he knew that he could not since he needed help from the blue-robed elder. He also knew that because the Chief of the Immortal’s League had not been around in the past 100 years, and the Four Sacred Guardians had been mysterious, many people have refused to accept the governance of the Immortals’ League.
. The old man in the blue robe chuckled, “I was just kidding, look how anxious you got,” then he looked coldly at Xiao Chen and said, “This Devil’s Practice Demon caused sufferings to the world, the people of Orthodox Path has the right to kill him! Are you aware of your situation now?”
“Kill the Devil! Kill the Devil!” The disciples of the Orthodox Path sects in the vicinity also shouted at the same time, and their voices were so loud that it shook the sky. At this moment, the west side of the air suddenly flew in dozens of sword radiance. It was the Immortals’ League who had arrived.
The front the few Immortals’ League elders, as well as the predecessors such as the Qing Chen, Perfected Immortal, Fengxi Perfected Immortal, Tai Yi Perfected Immortal and Master Xuanji. At the back, it was Su Yue, Su Zimu, Xiaoyue, Yu Yifeng, Monk Xu Gu, Qingyu and Murong Xian’er, etc. Once they heard that Xiao Chen had an accident, they rushed over without paying a visit to the Immortal’s Prison.
“Brother Xiao Chen!” Murong Xian’er’s eyes filled with tears and immediately wanted to rush over. Zhiluan held her back with all its might and said, “Silly girl! You can’t go there!”
Looking at Xiao Chen, who was surrounded by black Qi and had a devil general following him, everyone was in shock. Qing Chen Perfected Immortal said in a trembling voice, “Xiao Chen, you…”
The expressions on Yu Yifeng and the rest changed too. Master Xuanji and Monk Xu Gu started whispering the scriptures on the side. The scene was so similar to the scene in the historical records before the millennium.
Xiao Chen looked at these familiar people and smiled weakly. Then his eyes narrowed and said, “Leopard Cat Spirit! Immediately take Xian’er away from here!” As his voice fell, the black Qi on his body grew denser. The Blood Lotus Demon Blade in his hand started to tremble as well.
The disciples of the respective Orthodox Path sects saw that he was going to perform the Devilish Skill again immediately went on defense. Xiao Chen once again shouted, “Take her away!”
Without thinking, Zhiluan immediately grabbed Murong Xianer’s collar and flew to a distance away. Murong Xian’er jumped and kicked, said, “No! Dead cat! Stinky cat! Bad cat! Let me go! Let me go! No! Brother Xiao Chen…” As her voice got farther away.
Xiao Chen sneered wanly, “Okay, we may start…” The Devilish Skill in him started to run.
That warden in purple saw that he was to run that frightening Devilish Skill again, he immediately shouted: “My Taoism friends! Take down this person quickly!”
“Wait!” An icy voice sounded, it was the fourth daughter of the Su family, Su Yue, who was dressed in lavender clothes that stood up.
Su Yue looked calm and her face was frosty. The purple-robed Warden narrowed his eyes and looked at her, “What? Su family wants to protect a Devil’s Practice follower in front of people of the Orthodox Path today?”
Su Zimu immediately pulled her sleeves, shook his head, and whispered, “Aunt, no.”
Now Xiao Chen had committed a big taboo. The Orthodox Path all wanted him dead. If they spoke for him at this moment, they would be committing the biggest mistake in the world.
Su Yue’s eyes were as sharp as a sword, she said coldly, “The Devil’s Practice is indeed hateful, but there are rotten apples in the Orthodox Path too. Or he will not kill people for no reason today, Xiao Chen, what do you want to say, say it all out!”
