Chapter 625: 228: Seeking the Truth, battles the City Lord Mansion, Liang Sheng takes action to turn things around (Seeking monthly passes)_3
Meanwhile, Feng Yuan was still suppressing the Soul Emergence cultivators from the Seeking-Truth Lineage with his power. After all, after crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, there were very few people in the same realm who could defeat him.
Kaiyuan Child smoothly completed the encirclement, suppressing his excitement; he did not want any accidents to occur during the process.
Even if Immortal City failed this time, capturing the remnants of the Refining Void Realm and Soul Emergence Realm from the Seeking-Truth Lineage would not lead to blame from the Immortal Dynasty. Instead, they would receive plenty of rewards.
The desperation of the Seeking-Truth Lineage cultivators was palpable. They had already exerted their limit, but they were no match for their opponents.
It was not that they did not want to send a more elite team, but leaving the Xihe Immortal Dynasty meant a significant cost to the Seeking-Truth Lineage.
Being able to send them out was already an extreme rarity. At this point, even Feng Qingzi hesitated, questioning his impulsiveness from before.
They should have stayed in the city first, met with the Zhou Family, subdued Feng Yuan and his men, and with bargaining chips in hand, they could have come to the Beast Swamp to explore the Ancient Desolate Springs.
Unfortunately, the situation was already a reality, and discussing this further was useless. The cultivators below fought bitterly, and their only hope now rested on Feng Qingzi.
Of course, they had already thought about the worst-case scenario before setting out. If it came to the point where they had to sacrifice themselves for the Seeking-Truth Lineage, they would not hesitate to do so.
However, they were still waiting for Feng Qingzi’s signal at this time. The Protector hadn’t sent a signal of his last stand yet, which meant that he might still have a way to break through the encirclement.
What they didn’t know was that Feng Qingzi didn’t want to send a signal, but Chunyangzi’s combat experience was so profound that he didn’t give him any opportunity.
Any carelessness on Feng Qingzi’s part would lead to his downfall. He had to ensure his own safety now, as any unexpected occurrences could spell the end for everyone.
At this time, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but relax a little. Each of his moves was effortless, and Kaiyuan Child had closed the encirclement.
It seemed that the City Master’s Residence of the Immortal City was on the verge of a great victory, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred: a mysterious cloaked figure appeared on the battlefield.
The mysterious figure suddenly appeared beside Kaiyuan Child and repelled him with a single move. Then, they tore open a hole in the encirclement and shouted loudly.
“Break through, quick! Escape!”
The Seeking-Truth Lineage cultivators, who had been disoriented by the battle, followed the voice and broke through the torn gap instinctively.
When they were somewhat more clear-headed, the mysterious figure suppressed Kaiyuan Child with another move. “Only when you’re safe can your protector break free from his bindings. What are you waiting for? Run!”
Upon hearing this, the Seeking-Truth Lineage cultivators knew that the mysterious figure was right. They did not hesitate any longer and took off running at full speed.
This group also included the surviving Immortal City Cultivators. Elated to escape death, they wept with joy. Just as Feng Yuan was about to stop toying with his prey and take the cultivators in front of him to support Kaiyuan Child, the cultivators on the opposite side suddenly erupted with power.
A variable had finally appeared, and although they did not know if the mysterious figure was a friend or foe, they were at least on their side for now. With no more Seeking-Truth Lineage Cultivators in the vicinity, they weren’t going to let this opportunity slip by.
Moreover, they could now unleash their full strength without any reservations, as the casualties would not be among their own ranks.
However, while launching their attack, a thought crossed their mind: who was this mysterious cloaked person, and why were they helping their side?
Feng Qingzi, who had been very anxious, now felt relief. On the other hand, Chunyangzi became more worried and ended up being the one caught up by Feng Qingzi.
Because the cloaked mysterious figure was currently suppressing Feng Yuan and Kaiyuan Child, although their power was not at the Refining Void Realm, it was still stronger than the average Soul Emergence cultivator.
Why did unexpected events always occur?
Feng Yuan was furious in his heart, but he couldn’t break free from his opponent and felt increasingly desperate as the fight continued.
The cloaked figure was none other than Liang Sheng.
He originally did not want to intervene, but when the oasis saw him, they fled. He had no choice but to take action now; otherwise, if the Seeking-Truth Lineage were to fall, he would likely never find the Ancient Desolate Springs.
One could only say that the Seeking-Truth Lineage was fortunate!
However, he couldn’t possibly kill Feng Yuan and the others for real right now, as he still needed them to work for him.
With more people working together, they could better guarantee everyone’s safety and have a higher chance of finding the location of the Ancient Desolate Springs.
So, when the Seeking-Truth Lineage cultivators had run quite far, he shouted loudly, “Let’s retreat first!”
Then, he pushed Feng Yuan and the others away and vanished within an instant. Feng Qingzi took advantage of Chunyangzi’s impatience and similarly slipped away.
The battlefield became quiet in an instant, with only Chunyangzi and the others looking at each other in shock.
How did it end like this?
