Chapter 471: The Sect Comes to Aid

Ji Yang wondered when he would be able to easily master the time essence. Ideally, he wouldn’t need to use the Essence of War to activate it.

The responsibility was heavy, and the journey long.

Ji Yang sighed to himself.

As the Feather Transformation Ascension Skill rapidly operated, Ji Yang’s magic power began to recover quickly.

After flying for a moment, Ji Yang soon saw the warship he had just distanced himself from. At the same time, Ji Yang’s strong primordial spirit energy sensed a streak of light rapidly approaching the He Dao Sect warship from dozens of miles away.

Are they enemies?

Ji Yang frowned and quickly extended his primordial spirit energy.

The newcomer was quite powerful and soon noticed Ji Yang’s probing, accelerating toward the warship.

However, sensing the arrival of the stranger, Ji Yang no longer worried. He quickly performed the Art of Ascension, passed through the warship’s great formation, and returned to his room.

…

“Tsk tsk, Peak Master Xing, don’t struggle anymore. You’d better escape while you can. We won’t make things difficult for you, but the others here will all die today!”

Hearing the arrogant words from the child across from him, Peak Master Xing scoffed.

However, looking at the bell tower and others who were still struggling and were at a disadvantage, his heart was filled with anxiety.

As for the departing warship, he couldn’t worry about that for now.

While the warship also had core disciples from the sect, most of them were just Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators, and those who remained here were mostly Void Refinement stage cultivators.

These were the cultivators who would soon bear the weight of the sect. How could they afford to lose them?

But with the child’s entanglement ahead, he couldn’t find a moment to help others. He could only silently pray for the sect’s support to arrive soon; otherwise, if this stalemate continued, his team would likely suffer catastrophic losses.

In the midst of their conversation, another late Void Refinement stage cultivator nearly fell.

This made Peak Master Xing secretly clench his teeth. Was he really going to become a sinner of the sect today?

If he had known this would happen, he would have requested the sect to send another Peak Master over.

Just as Peak Master Xing prepared to fight with all he had, the child across from him suddenly faltered, turning his gaze toward the distance with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

What’s going on?

Why has the aura of the other person vanished?

Among the three, there was already a Secret Technique that allowed them to communicate silently.

Just a moment ago, the other person was reporting that they were about to destroy the warship and eliminate those fleeing He Dao Sect cultivators.

Yet now, his aura had disappeared in an instant.

Since the Secret Technique among the three showed no malfunction, something must have gone wrong over there.

But their main offensive force against He Dao Sect had already been tied up by him and the child; the remaining person was meant to deal with some Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators from He Dao Sect, so how could they fail?

Was it possible that He Dao Sect had hidden cultivators?

Or perhaps the He Dao Sect’s support had arrived early?

However, upon further reflection, he felt that this was unlikely. If He Dao Sect truly had hidden cultivators, they wouldn’t have waited until now to act; they would have struck when the three arrived, and the situation wouldn’t be as it was now.

The support from He Dao Sect would not arrive so quickly. According to their calculations, even if the He Dao Sect cultivators used the long-distance Teleportation array, it would take at least half an hour to reach this place.

How much time had passed since then?

Moreover, even if someone from He Dao Sect was coming, couldn’t the other person send a message to notify them? Instead of suddenly losing their aura like now.

The child, sensing the change in situation, had a gloomy expression, and even his movements slowed slightly.

Peak Master Xing, engaged in battle with him, keenly noticed the abnormalities on the child’s face.

If their side was in trouble, then something must have gone wrong on the warship.

Perhaps someone from the sect was coming?

At this moment, it seemed like there was only that possibility!

Peak Master Xing felt a surge of excitement in his heart; if that was the case, the situation would quickly turn around. As long as the bell tower and others could hold on for a bit longer, the ones fleeing would soon be the two in front of him.

Although he did not know who the newcomer was, they would surely be a high-level cultivator from the sect. Under such a united front, perhaps they could even capture one alive.

“Tsk tsk, what’s wrong?”

Even though he had his suspicions, Peak Master Xing pretended to ask.

“Hmph!”

The child’s reaction further confirmed Peak Master Xing’s earlier guesses.

Just as Peak Master Xing was about to probe further with words, he suddenly sensed something and immediately laughed out loud:

“Dear disciples, hold on for a moment; the support from He Dao Sect has arrived!”

Upon hearing Peak Master Xing’s words, the bell tower and the others looked excited. If Peak Master Xing said so, it must be true.

Sensing the swiftly approaching aura from afar, the child’s expression changed drastically.

He hadn’t expected the support from He Dao Sect to arrive so quickly. Did this mean the other person had truly perished?

Was it possible to eliminate a He Dao Sect cultivator, especially one at the Unity with the Dao stage who possessed the Essence of Earth and had strong defenses? What realm were the newcomers at?

Surely they couldn’t have sent a Great Ascension stage cultivator?

From what he knew, several Great Ascension stage cultivators from He Dao Sect should be in seclusion and unable to respond, so how could they have come for this matter?

But regardless of who the newcomer was, their mission today would ultimately fail.

If they didn’t leave now, the situation would likely spiral out of control. After realizing this, the child shouted at the other man:

“Go!”

With that, the child suddenly urged his own Dao essence, pushing Peak Master Xing back and swiftly distancing himself.

When the old man heard the child’s shout, he did not hesitate to retreat as well.

Peak Master Xing did not stop their departure.

Although he wanted to keep them, he knew he could not block their escape alone, and the figure approaching from afar, although already sensing the situation, would still need a few moments to arrive.

If he forced an interception, it could lead to accidents for the sect disciples present.

He believed it was better to protect the sect disciples than to intercept the two.

Considering this, Peak Master Xing allowed the two to leave.

After they departed, a streak of light swiftly flew over and landed before everyone.

Seeing that the newcomer was Peak Master Hao Tian of Denglong Peak, Peak Master Xing finally felt relieved.

He had wondered why the sect’s support had arrived so quickly; it turned out to be Hao Tian.

Although they were both Peak Masters of the Twelve Peaks, their strength varied among them.

Aside from the Peak Master of Jingtan Peak, Hao Tian was the strongest.

Among the high-level cultivators of the sect, people were not fully aware of the strengths of the two; it was just that Peak Master Ye often engaged more and only faced high-end opponents, leading everyone to think he ranked at the top.

However, this current one rarely made a move, yet his strength remained an enigma.

Now that safety was assured, Peak Master Xing’s thoughts scattered, even contemplating who was stronger between the two.

“Peak Master Xing, what is the situation?”

Hao Tian asked solemnly as he arrived.
