Chapter 253: The Elder Arrives
The steward watched the disciples rushing out with a hint of surprise in his eyes!
He quickly noticed Ji Yang at the front.
Seeing the Golden Armored Battle Soldiers surrounding Ji Yang, his expression grew serious.
This young man does possess some strength!
But to think he could break through his encirclement so easily was overly naive!
Noticing the large number of demonic path cultivators in front, Ji Yang came to a halt.
The many disciples behind him also stopped when they saw Ji Yang pause, glancing at the numerous demonic path cultivators ahead, silently calculating how to break through.
Upon realizing the leader among the demonic path cultivators was at the Nascent Soul Stage, everyone’s hearts filled with even more worry.
Senior Brother Ji is strong, indeed, but his opponent is a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, who is not weak.
What they didn’t know was that Ji Yang had already defeated several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators before!
The remaining steward snorted coldly, producing a Great Sword from his hand!
He stepped forward, swinging the weapon.
He aimed to forcefully suppress Ji Yang!
As long as he could subdue Ji Yang, the others would be no threat!
Facing the steward’s attack, Ji Yang merely flicked out a sword energy!
As the sword energy passed through the air, it created a sharp sound.
The steward, who had initially felt confident, turned pale as he advanced.
Yet he did not retreat; instead, he pushed on.
At the moment of contact with the sword energy, the steward’s entire body jolted, and then he was slashed away by Ji Yang’s sword energy! He fell to the ground, his life unknown!
“The Steward Wu has been defeated!”
“!!”
Many demonic path cultivators paused at this sight, exclaiming loudly, their eyes filled with disbelief.
A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could not even withstand one round against Ji Yang! What realm is this person at?
This revelation dampened the spirits of the demonic path cultivators surrounding them.
In contrast, the He Dao Sect disciples following Ji Yang felt invigorated.
Seeing Ji Yang effortlessly knock down the steward with a single sword energy, he was also a bit surprised.
If he had struck with all his power, perhaps the result would have been different.
However, having just finished a fierce battle, his internal power had not fully recovered, and that last attack was more of a test.
Ji Yang glanced again at the steward lying on the ground and accidentally noticed the steward’s head slightly move.
This made Ji Yang pause for a moment, but he chose not to strike again!
If he wishes to lie there, then let him lay!
This is good for everyone!
At that moment, a voice echoed from the mirror:
“The effect of the fixed-point object has ended!”
Ji Yang no longer hesitated and once again swung out several sword energies.
Faced with attacks that even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could not withstand, the demonic path cultivators lost their previous courage and did not plan to resist; instead, they began to retreat.
Ji Yang and his group rushed out of the mine and emerged outside the Demon Spirit Ore site.
As many disciples saw the light of day again, their faces filled with joy.
“Brothers, don’t celebrate too early; this place is still not safe. Hurry up!”
Ruan Yong’an and a few others stepped forward from the crowd, holding a spiritual boat in their hands.
The spiritual boat expanded rapidly as it caught the wind.
Many disciples then responded and rushed towards the spiritual boat.
Just as Ruan Yong’an finished speaking, a thunderous voice boomed from the sky:
“Hahaha, well said!”
“Indeed, don’t be happy too soon!”
“Since I have arrived, don’t even think about escaping!”
…
The voice arrived before the person did!
Just a few words made the faces of the disciples turn pale, their hearts trembling.
This kind of aura belonged to a true high-level cultivator!
Unchallengeable!
While everyone was stunned, a dark shape appeared far in the sky.
The black dot moved swiftly and almost instantly flew before everyone’s eyes.
Now, everyone could clearly see the newcomer.
It was an old man with graying temples!
He wore a black robe with pale gold threads embroidered along the sleeves, forming the symbol of the Heaven Demon Sect!
This was the attire of an elder from the Heaven Demon Sect!
As a sect on equal footing with the He Dao Sect, the elders of the Heaven Demon Sect had at least Spirit Transformation Stage strength!
If he was merely a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator, Ji Yang felt he might still have a chance to escape!
But the old man before him gave Ji Yang an overwhelming sense of danger.
This was absolutely not a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator!
It was highly likely a Void Refinement stage existence!
“Elder Guan! It’s Elder Guan!”
“Elder Guan is usually in charge of the Outer Affairs Office, and it is said that he has reached the late Void Refinement stage!”
“Great! Elder Guan has finally arrived!”
Many demonic path cultivators exclaimed in joy upon recognizing the old man’s face, and they once again surrounded Ji Yang and the others.
Even the steward Wu, who had been struck down by Ji Yang’s sword energy, quickly crawled up from the cold ground and hurried over to Elder Guan, recounting what had just happened in the mine!
After receiving confirmation from numerous demonic path cultivators, Ji Yang’s expression became grim!
Late Void Refinement stage!
A cultivator on the verge of attaining Unity with the Dao.
A true high-level cultivator, although he may not be Ye Wuchen’s opponent, he was now his formidable enemy!
As for the other disciples aboard the spiritual boat, despair was evident on their faces!
Late Void Refinement, that was still too far for them; they had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage as inner disciples and were still far from the Void Refinement stage!
With this person present, escaping would be nearly impossible!
As for Senior Brother Ji, although his strength was commendable, he was still no match for this elder!
They were finished!
Though they could not fight, the group did not plan to sit and wait for their fate. Instead, they prepared to scatter and flee.
Although Elder Guan was powerful, there were many disciples present; could he possibly intercept them all?
Surely, some disciples would be able to escape!
Some inner disciples who had originally been on the spiritual boat now stepped off, each using their Escaping Techniques to flee in different directions!
The demonic path cultivators who had just surrounded them now threw themselves recklessly to block their escape. With the elder in front, they could no longer flee as they had before!
However, there were too many disciples rushing out, which made it hard for them to stop everyone.
On the other side, as Elder Guan listened to Steward Wu’s report, he snorted coldly and began to move his hands.
With his hands spread open, he silently chanted a technique.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy in the world surged and gathered.
In an instant, four sturdy dirt walls rose up out of nowhere just beyond the mine, trapping all the remaining individuals within.
These walls reached high into the sky, seemingly without a top!
Faced with the suddenly rising dirt walls, some disciples tried to use their spells to shatter them and break free!
But no matter what spell they cast, it vanished upon hitting the unassuming dirt walls.
The defensive power of these walls was beyond what they could break!
Some cultivators summoned their magical artifacts, but regardless of the type, they were all inadequate!
