Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 317 Help

As the aftershocks of the closing void rift dissipated, the scene fell into a deathly silence, with only a heavy stench of blood filling the air, making one's throat tighten.

Of the three bodyguards, only Fuji had lost an arm and lay sprawled on the ground covered in blood, too weak to even move.

The rest have been completely destroyed, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Nine elders suffered heavy losses, with only two remaining, barely clinging to life amidst the rubble, coughing up blood.

None of the transport teams from Shangjuge survived.

The moment the spiritual pressure disappeared, the three elders, including Mud Woman, who had disobeyed orders, had already transformed into streaks of light and left the place.

"Cough cough!" Blood continued to flow from the corner of the Holy Spirit Goddess's mouth. She clenched her bloodied teeth and didn't even glance at those who were barely clinging to life.

"Move all the remaining black crystal liquid to the top of the tower!"

She let out a sharp shout, her voice hoarse like a broken gong, then turned around and, dragging her injured body, leaped to the top of the tower.

Those around him trembled upon hearing this, and dared not disobey in the slightest.

They had no choice but to endure the excruciating pain of broken bones and shattered flesh, and help each other to their feet, stumbling and staggering into the pavilion.

Lingqi trembled all over, and with several broken heads on his head, he staggered and flew to the top of the tower.

……

-

Snowy land.

Several inches of snow had accumulated at the edges.

Suddenly, a narrow crack appeared in the air, and several figures emerged from it.

Guan Xun was already covered in blood by this time.

"Clap, clap."

The bright red blood dripping from her body, splashing onto the white snow, was shockingly glaring.

Jin Chen's fingers tightened slightly as he held her, and with a single step, he passed directly through the barrier surrounding the Sea of ​​Spirit Binding.

Immediately, his figure transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the Nine Palaces.

Bai Ze, standing behind him, was slightly taken aback by what he saw.

They had no idea where they were or why the adults had brought them here.

The situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to think about anything else. He watched as the adult's figure was about to disappear into the sky above the sea.

Without further hesitation, he transformed back into a deer with a flash of spiritual light, his four hooves treading on the snow, dragging Chi Rong close behind as they chased after each other toward the horizon.

Meanwhile, inside the Nine-Layered Palace.

Several True Lords were sitting cross-legged, cultivating with their eyes closed.

The moment Jin Chen stepped into the snowy region, an overwhelming aura swept over him, causing the spirit lamps in the hall to sway violently.

They opened their eyes abruptly, their faces filled with astonishment.

Donglin Zhenjun was the first to stand up, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement: "It's the aura of a divine being!"

“That’s right!” True Lord Xixing beside him nodded, his gaze fixed intently on the outside of the palace. “The Divine Lord has returned!”

Ever since they sensed that the God was still alive, they have been guarding the top of the Nine Heavens Palace day and night, investigating all movements within the snowy region, not daring to relax their vigilance in the slightest.

If the deity returns, they will be able to detect it immediately.

The group was overjoyed and exchanged glances.

Then, with a leap, he darted out of the Nine Palaces and headed towards the source of that aura.

But before they had gone far from the Nine Palaces, they saw a figure moving at an extremely fast speed coming towards them.

Those who were most familiar with the aura of the deity immediately felt their hearts pound.

It really is the God! He's back!

"God..." Donglin Zhenjun's cry had just begun.

The figure that was coming towards them swept straight over their heads without stopping for a moment, heading straight for the top of the Nine Palaces.

Donglin Zhenjun was taken aback: "...Your Excellency?"

No sooner had the doubts subsided than a cold, authoritative voice boomed in their ears from the top of the Nine Palaces.

"Heavy security! Monitor all activity outside the Nine Palaces; no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

“Take good care of those two divine beasts.”

After he finished speaking, there was no further sound.

The True Lords stood frozen in place, their faces filled with astonishment.

What happened? They didn't even get a clear look at the deity's appearance before he just passed by like that?

Has something major happened in the Nine Heavens Palace, or does the God have some urgent matter to attend to on this trip?

There's no need to rush!

And what mythical beast?

Where did this mythical beast come from?

They looked at each other, then suddenly caught the lingering, heavy smell of blood in the air, and their expressions turned serious.

The Northern True Lord exclaimed in surprise, "Something's wrong! What's with this bloody smell? Could it be that the Divine Lord is injured?"

"Why are we on guard? Could it be that a powerful enemy is pursuing us?" Xi Xing Zhenjun frowned, his expression instantly becoming serious. He immediately transmitted his voice throughout the Nine Heavens, instructing Cang Kun to be on alert for anyone approaching.

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and said, "Just now I think I glimpsed that the God was holding someone in his arms."

“You’re not mistaken.” Donglin Zhenjun said in a deep voice, “I saw it too. That person’s aura was very weak, and he was definitely seriously injured! In my opinion, this bloody smell is most likely from that person.”

"This person... could it be the woman from before?" Nan Dou Zhenjun hesitated.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group became serious.

If it really is that woman...

No, they will never let the gods repeat the same mistake! They will not allow that woman to disturb the Nine Heavens again!

After thinking it over, the group was about to turn around and chase after the top of the Nine Palaces to find out what was going on when...

"puff!"

Two more enormous black figures broke through the clouds and ascended to the ninth heaven.

The True Lords' faces immediately darkened, and their backs tensed with vigilance.

Could it be a powerful enemy that has pursued us and arrived?!

However, after they took a closer look, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

They were two demonic beasts!

No, judging by its aura, it's a divine beast!

“This, this is Bai Ze and… the Holy Netherworld Crimson Python,” Nan Dou Zhenjun murmured.

"It's it!" After regaining his senses, True Monarch Beiyi suddenly exclaimed in shock, pointing his withered hand at Chi Rong, "It's the divine beast that stole the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower back then!"

"Are you sure?" Nan Dou Zhenjun frowned, somewhat surprised. "What a coincidence!"

“Absolutely right!” True Lord Beiyi declared firmly. “I wouldn’t mistake its appearance!”

The atmosphere froze instantly, and the expressions of the True Lords also became strange.

The two divine beasts that the deity mentioned earlier must be these two.

But if the Crimson Serpent of the Underworld is the one who stole the flowers, then isn't he their enemy?

"Enough." Donglin Zhenjun glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "Regardless of the past, this is a divine beast that the God Venerable personally ordered to be well taken care of. The order is in place and there is no room for argument."

"But..." The group was about to discuss it further.

"No buts, let's go!"

As they spoke, the True Lords rushed over there.

Bai Ze, standing tall ahead, shook his neck, and fine beads of sweat splashed onto Chi Rong, who was barely breathing, covered in blood, and nearly unconscious.

"Sigh." He sighed, exhausted.

Dragging such a behemoth all the way, even if it was a divine beast, would have been extremely strenuous.

He looked around and was startled.

Unexpectedly, the sky above was a world unto itself, with a vast dome overhead and the giant shadows of monsters occasionally flashing through the churning clouds.

"My God!" Bai Ze exclaimed in surprise, but the shock in his heart vanished in an instant.

He subconsciously looked down at Chi Rong beside him, his expression turning slightly somber.

The latter's blood was still seeping out, and his breathing was getting weaker and weaker. Even if the injury was not fatal, he would definitely bleed to death if it dragged on any longer!

Furthermore, he himself was injured.

The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed.

But now that the adults are nowhere to be seen, what should he do?

Bai Ze frowned and let out a low growl.

"Is anyone there?! Help! It'll be too late if we wait any longer!"
