A towering ancient tree appeared in midair as if it was real. Lord Daoist Lingxi stepped out of it, his eyes emotionless.
He stretched out his hand and waved it gently. An ancient tree suddenly fell down, blocking a beast cultivator's Giant Waves Technique.
There were more and more beast cultivators around them. At first, the sea beast army only sent these beast cultivators to stop them, and the sea beasts went forward as usual. Later, because they couldn't kill them and were stalled by them, many beast cultivators turned back, wanting to kill them all.
Their side was in a good situation; there weren't many reinforcements. On Qin Xi and Jing Xingzhi's side, many beast cultivators rushed towards them.
Mo Tiange was a little anxious and regretted taking out the token of Xumi Sea just now. How could these beast cultivators recognize the token of the sovereign of Xumi Sea?
When she found out these beast cultivators had discord with Xumi Sea, she wanted to use the token the third princess gave her to call for help, but she didn't expect these beast cultivators to be so familiar with Xumi Sea that they even recognized this kind of token. In other words, Xumi Sea and Returning Ruins Sea had been fighting for a long time?
The Nascent Soul cultivator guarding the island only said the sea wasn't calm and there were beast cultivators coming and going from time to time, but he didn't know the relationship between the two seas had reached this point.
"Junior Martial Sister Qingwei!" Lord Daoist Lingxi's voice rang in her ears. "Let's meet up with Senior Martial Brother Shoujing as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Mo Tiange immediately calmed down. Fluctuating emotions had no effect on breaking out of the encirclement. Besides, what was the use of temporarily delaying them?
Qin Xi, Jing Xingzhi, and the others had already started fighting. If the beast cultivators saw them, they wouldn't let them go.
"You guys go in front, I'll cover!" Although they had a lot of people, their strength wasn't equal.
The four spirit beasts were all in the eighth rank. They cultivated slowly, so their strength didn't grow fast. Lord Daoist Lingxi's strength wasn't bad, but he was still in the early stage.
"Madam, don't worry," Xiaofeng said, "Master can still hold on for the time being."
"I understand. Let's go, don't delay!" She turned her gaze. "Wushang, you and Senior Martial Brother Lingxi go in front."
Nie Wushang didn't say anything. She nodded and punched the eighth rank beast cultivator in front, tearing their formation apart.
Dao Lord Lingxi followed closely behind. He had a gentle personality and cultivated a wood-attribute cultivation technique. However, his combat style was straightforward and even a little violent. Even if a Level 9 demonic cultivator stood in front of him, he would still attack with all his might even at the risk of both sides being injured.
These beast cultivators didn't dare to fight with all because they were frightened at first and didn't dare to fight with all they had.
Seeing them trying to escape, the beast cultivators stirred and formed a formation, they didn't dare to fight with.
Li Mo, and an eye, and they saw., they, they, and. by by, Dares they,
As, they, they.., they, they, they, they, they, and, they, they, they, they, and, and and. and., and., and, and and. and. "
However, the box suddenly stopped halfway and opened.
The few demon cultivators were startled. Instinctively, they struck first to gain the upper hand, striking at the box.
Unexpectedly, when the box was opened, it was empty. There was only a mysterious aura that seemed to contain all things. No matter what it was, it could be thrown into the box, but it also seemed to be able to destroy all things. Anything that came into contact with it would disappear.
With a "chi" sound, the black longsword and the spikes on the box seemed to have hit something. They melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ah!" The beast cultivators controlling the two magic weapons screamed as if they were seriously injured.
"What's this?" Two natal magic weapons were melted and destroyed in just one encounter. It was too terrifying!
Natal magic weapons were connected to their masters' minds. If the magic weapons were destroyed, their masters would be injured. Not only would they die on the spot, but their cultivation levels would also drop.
For a moment, the beast cultivators were afraid to run away. If their magic weapons were only injured, they could slowly recover, but why did they melt directly?
Could they refine them again?
Or could they not be saved?
As soon as the Chaotic Heavenly Box appeared, it stunned them. Mo Tiange took the opportunity to shout, "Go!"
Without hesitation, Nie Wushang turned into an escape light and flew away, followed by Lord Daoist Lingxi and the four spirit beasts.
When they all got out of the encirclement, Mo Tiange also fled. Fearing the Chaotic Heavenly Box, the beast cultivators didn't dare to stop her and just surrounded her from a distance.
Right at that moment, a white escape light flew over.
The white escape light was extremely fast. In a flash, it arrived in front of her.
Mo Tiange's speed was hindered by many beast cultivators, so she was soon blocked.
When the escape light dissipated, a woman in white stood in the air and looked at Mo Tiange calmly. "Fellow Daoist, how have you been?"
Mo Tiange was stunned. "You are?"
"What? Don't you recognize me?"
The woman in white smiled. Compared to the beast cultivators around her, her transformation was very perfect. Not only did she not look like a beast, but she was also dignified and elegant, surpassing many human women.
"You're right. When we first met, I hadn't experienced Heavenly Tribulation, so I didn't know how to transform, so it was inevitable that I was a bit ugly." She smiled, making people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze, but her hands were faintly flashing with lightning.
A figure emerged in Mo Tiange's mind, and she said slowly, "You're … Fellow Daoist Old Bai?"
The woman in white nodded with a smile. "I'm Bailing. How should I address you?"
"My surname is Mo, and my Daoist name is Qingwei."
Mo Tiange wasn't in the mood to chat with her, so she went straight to the point. "Fellow Daoist Bai, why are you blocking my way?"
"Do you have to ask Fellow Daoist Mo?" Bailing's gaze swept over the Chaotic Heavenly Box floating in front of her, and fear flashed in her eyes. "As a human, what are you doing in my sea race's territory?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Tiange couldn't help but smile mockingly. "Fellow Daoist Bai's words are strange. The sea race lives in the sea, but the islands in the sea are inhabited by humans. Since ancient times, humans have lived on the islands. When did the sea race become your sea race's territory?
Besides, I haven't seen you beast cultivators leave the continent, so why can't you let humans set foot on the sea? "
Bailing frowned, but in the next moment, the great tenth rank beast's momentum suddenly pressed down. "So you're saying you don't want to leave?"
Mo Tiange said faintly, "We have no intention of getting involved in the sea race's dispute. We came here for an important matter, and once we're done, we'll leave. But if you force us to leave … it won't be easy."
Who knew whether all the clues here would be erased after the battle between the Returning Ruins Sea and the Xumi Sea? It wasn't easy for them to find this place, so they definitely wouldn't give it up easily.
If they really had to face hundreds of beast cultivators in the Returning Ruins Sea, they might temporarily leave because they weren't strong enough. However, the information revealed by these beast cultivators was enough to prove that they were fighting with the Xumi Sea. If she could borrow the Xumi Sea's power, she wouldn't be polite.
Besides, would these beast cultivators really let them go?
Probably not. If they took advantage of their absence and attacked them from behind, wouldn't they be in a passive position?
"Do something?" A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Bailing's face, and she asked in a deep voice, "Is it to steal the Divine Lord's breath?"
Mo Tiange was stunned, but her face remained calm. "Fellow Daoist Bailing, why do you say that?"
Bailing snorted. "Your Excellency, why do you think we have endless disputes with the Xumi Sea?
It's because they claim to be the descendants of Divine Lord Qilin and want to steal the Divine Lord's breath in our sea area! "
Mo Tiange was shocked. It turned out the beast cultivators had long noticed the Qilin's breath here?
Thinking about it carefully, she found it was right. The Qilin's breath was scattered in the sea, so how could the sea beasts not know about it?
In this case, if they wanted to enter the Qilin Sacrificial Temple, wouldn't they have to fight with the beast cultivators in the Returning Ruins Sea and the Xumi Sea?
In the Six Paths Palace, Hu Po once told the three Mystical Qilins to help them find that secret if they needed it in the future. The Qilin Sacrificial Temple was related to this matter, and they didn't want to fight for the Qilin's breath, so they probably wouldn't turn against them. When the time came, they could just cooperate with them.
With this thought, Mo Tiange made up her mind and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Bailing, I don't want to meddle in the affairs of your sea clans. However, after hearing what you said, I inevitably have a question. Can you answer it?"
Bailing raised her eyebrows. "Fellow Daoist, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm afraid you won't have a chance in a while."
Mo Tiange cupped her hands then asked in a rather humble tone, "I remember that several dozen years ago, this place wasn't the Sea Region but Yunzhong. The south of Yunzhong was the Sea of Returning Ruins, and the north of Yunzhong was the Xumi Sea.
Yunzhong is no longer here now, but this place can't be considered the Xumi Sea or the Returning Ruins Sea, right? "
Bailing narrowed its eyes and said fiercely, "Fellow Daoist, do you think the Divine Lord's breath in this place belongs to you humans?"
"I don't dare!" Mo Tiange suddenly put her palms together, and a divine, mighty breath burst out from her body.
The expressions of Bailing and the beast cultivators around them suddenly changed. "This is … Divine Lord Qilin …"
Mo Tiange smiled and put down her hands. "Lord Daoist Bailing, to be honest, my breath is a gift from a senior Divine Lord.
For us humans, the Divine Lord's breath is indeed very powerful, but it can't change our physiques and evolve into a higher bloodline like you can.
For me, the Qilin's breath is enough. I'm not interested in what you guys are fighting over! "
Hearing what she said, Bailing didn't say anything for a long time.
This group of people was indeed difficult to deal with. They originally planned to kill them in one go, but they didn't expect that they still couldn't kill them until now. Instead, most of the eighth rank beast cultivators were stalled, which would be fatal for their upcoming decisive battle. Therefore, the army stopped and planned to kill these humans in one go.
But if that was the case, it seemed that they didn't have a reason to be enemies.
"Don't believe her!"
Many beast cultivators stared at Mo Tiange with hostility. One of them shouted, "Humans are the most cunning. Besides, she just disabled Chang Ba and Old Shrimp. We can't let her go!"
As soon as the beast cultivator finished speaking, someone immediately echoed, "Yes, we can't let her go. Her magic weapon is so terrifying. What if we sneak attack from behind?"
The crowd was so angry that Bailing didn't know what to say for a while.
She sighed and spread her hands. Lightning formed a ball with flowing light and a mysterious breath. "Sorry, we can't trust humans."
