Immortal Path Space

Chapter 323: The Siege

A group of more than thirty individuals were riding Spiritual Weapons, swiftly cutting through the sky, leaving streaks of light in their wake.

They were on their way to the Blackstone Valley Market, a journey that had taken them several days without rest. When their Spiritual Power was running low, they replenished it by drinking Spirit Wine.

During their rest, Master's Wife noticed that Wang Hong's thirty subordinates were all equipped with top-quality second-tier Spirit Wine, which rapidly restored their Spiritual Power. It seemed even better than the Spirit Wine she was using.

With full force, they had already reached the outskirts of Blackstone Valley Market in less than half the expected time.

At this moment, countless Demonic Beasts and human cultivators had surrounded the Marketplace. These people had been secretly subdued by infiltrators.

They were taking turns attacking the defensive formation of the Marketplace, and the Light Shield's defense was fading, with little Spiritual Energy remaining.

Luo Yuxuan had reached a point of desperation, and the accumulated Spirit Stones and resources of the Marketplace were nearly depleted.

Including all the Cultivation Clans within the Marketplace, no one could hide their treasures anymore. Everyone had emptied their coffers.

"Junior Brother, all the Spirit Stones of everyone in the Marketplace have been exhausted, and the Large Formation won't hold for much longer.

I have two second-tier defense Talismans; take them for your protection.

Take advantage of this time to meditate and restore your Spiritual Power."

Luo Yuxuan took out two second-tier Talismans and offered them to Gu Wei.

After holding out for so many days, he had nearly run out of supplies, even using the life-saving Talismans given to him by his Master.

He had only managed to alleviate some of the defensive pressure by killing three Foundation Building cultivators from the other side.

Gu Qingyang had provided his disciples with items primarily meant for self-preservation.

Wang Hong had also received a silver shuttle and a Talisman, but he had hardly engaged in one-on-one battles, so he hadn't used them yet.

"Elder Brother, I still have dozens of Thunder Beads and half a bottle of Spirit Wine. I'll give you the Spirit Wine; your strength is greater, and it can be more effective in your hands."

Gu Wei handed over half a bottle of Spirit Wine to Luo Yuxuan. Wang Hong had given him some Spirit Wine earlier, and now he regretted being too greedy and drinking most of it.

His father had prepared a large bag of Thunder Beads for him, but he had used up most of them.

"Junior Brother, save them for a critical moment. The last bottle Junior Brother Wang gave me, I've been reluctant to use it."

The two of them meditated for a while when suddenly, there was a deafening explosion. The defensive formation of the Marketplace had finally been breached.

Gu Wei leaped up, ready to charge outside, but Luo Yuxuan held him back.

"Junior Brother, don't rush. Let's assess the situation first and decide where to break through."

Although Gu Wei had matured considerably, his experience in facing enemies was still limited.

The building they were in was at the highest point in the center of the Marketplace, offering a view of the entire situation.

Now was not the time to be the first to charge forward. Those who rushed ahead often met a gruesome fate.

Nor could they afford to be the last, as those who lagged behind rarely fared well.

People had already begun to break out, but as soon as they rushed out, they were surrounded, including two Foundation Building cultivators, and quickly met their demise.At this point, everyone could only slowly retreat, with no one daring to attempt a rash breakout.

As a result, Luo Yuxuan and Gu Wei found themselves unable to break out and could only hide temporarily within the building, unable to come up with a solution.

Luo Yuxuan had only recruited a few Qi Cultivation stage subordinates during his time in the Marketplace. The other Foundation Building cultivators in the Marketplace were all leaders of other clans, and he couldn't recruit them.

With just the two of them and a few Qi Cultivation stage disciples, it was impossible for them to break out.

"Elder Brother, it seems we have no hope this time. I always thought about going down the mountain to gain experience, but I never expected that my first time would be my last."

Facing a life-and-death trial for the first time, Gu Wei began to reflect on his past thoughts.

"Junior Brother, don't worry. We haven't reached the end yet, and anything is possible. I've been through situations like this several times before, and I'm still here, right?"

Luo Yuxuan reassured him. Although he felt a sense of despair as well, his wealth of experience taught him not to give up until the last moment.

Moreover, there were still five Foundation Building cultivators and hundreds of Qi Cultivation stage cultivators in the Marketplace. Once the battle began, there was still a chance to escape amidst the chaos.

"I'm not afraid of death. I'm only afraid that my parents will be heartbroken after I'm gone!"

Since their building was located in the center of the Marketplace, everyone had retreated to its vicinity, and there was nowhere else to go.

At the edges, they were already engaged in combat with the Demon Clan. At this moment, everyone was fighting for their lives, and although they were at a disadvantage, not many had died yet.

Just then, while Luo Yuxuan was observing the battle from above, he suddenly noticed a distant glimmer rapidly streaking across the sky towards their location.

After a few moments, they could roughly discern the figure of the approaching person. A large bird flew at the forefront with a Daoist Master standing on its back, making them stand out.

Luo Yuxuan and Gu Wei were very familiar with this large bird, and even though it wasn't clear at the moment, they could still recognize it.

"Haha! Elder Brother, we're saved!"

"Yes, it should be Junior Brother Wang coming to rescue us. I didn't expect him to bring so many helpers."

Wang Hong, wearing the purple robes of the Qingxu Sect, stood on the back of Little Peng, his robes billowing in the wind. He stood with his hands behind his back, calm and composed.

A female cultivator flew beside Wang Hong, her eyes scanning the front with a look of urgency on her face.

Behind them, thirty Foundation Building cultivators were lined up neatly, following closely.

This group of people arrived outside the encirclement formed by the Demonic Beasts.

The person and the bird at the forefront charged directly into the crowd, and the large bird's wings swept through, sending people and demons flying into the air. Those struck by its wings suffered broken tendons, shattered bones, and ruptured organs. Even with divine pills and miraculous medicines, there was no saving them.

This time, Wang Hong was standing on the back of Little Peng, wielding a golden Flying Sword that turned into a golden light, swirling around him. Wherever the golden light touched, whether it was people, demons, Magical Weapons, or Spiritual Weapons, everything was sliced in half.

The thirty people following closely behind him had ten of them using defensive Spiritual Weapons to protect the group, while the remaining twenty wielded Flying Swords. There was not a single survivor in their path.

Wang Hong's master, though anxious, could only follow Wang Hong at his side. On her own, she had no chance of breaking through this layered blockade.

In the midst of the battle, she realized that her own combat abilities were not even on par with Wang Hong, her own disciple. She was even less capable than the giant bird under Wang Hong's command.

She had only known Wang Hong to be skilled in Alchemy and management, never realizing how formidable his combat abilities were. Even her husband didn't know; he had truly hit the jackpot with such an outstanding disciple.
