Chapter 1680: Chapter 1680 Arrive Promptly
The head of the Li family, Li Haoran, although not understanding why the secret realm couldn’t be retrieved by himself, had plenty of time to prepare again.
They immediately gathered all local martial practitioners and military forces, guarding the entrance and exit of the secret realm.
Some martial practitioners who had been following the lead of those women also rushed over upon hearing the news, joining in the commotion without distinguishing right from wrong, and assisting the Li family in blocking the entrance and exit of the secret realm.
Since the secret realm had not been developed yet, after Man Shu and her group entered, they did indeed find quite a few valuable resources, but it also took them some time.
This also prompted the Li family to prepare even more thoroughly. They also joined forces with local formations to guard and shut down the Conveyor Formation, fearing that someone might come to reinforce Man Shu and her group.
The local formation guards had long colluded with the Li family. Even though they received the Sound Transmission Talisman from the captain of the guard, clearly indicating a message from Yicity, they pretended not to see it and refused to activate the Conveyor Formation.
As Man Shu and her group prepared to leave the secret realm and emerged from the entrance, they were immediately met with a fierce attack.
Despite Man Shu’s high cultivation level, she couldn’t withstand the coordinated attack of tens of thousands of people in the formation along with numerous martial practitioners attacking simultaneously. In order to cover for others to escape back into the secret realm and evade the assault, Man Shu, Lei Ming, Dragon Lady, and others were all injured, with Man Shu sustaining the most severe injuries.
Fortunately, they had enough resources such as medicinal pills and Vital Waters to provide emergency aid. However, Man Shu needed time to recover to her peak combat strength.
Lei Ming reacted swiftly. Sensing the intensity of the attack upon being assaulted, they realised they couldn’t break through on their own. So, Lei Ming promptly transmitted their location information to Ye Liuyun, which slightly delayed their escape and led to some injuries.
Afterward, these women withdraw back into the secret realm, making it possible for Ye Liuyun to contact them again.
As Ye Liuyun rushed towards Xinghe City at full speed, he instructed Qiong Qi to prepare to take action.
"You, with all these women around, you’re delaying your cultivation! Just when you finally had some peace to cultivate for a few days, you’re always running off somewhere! At this rate, when will you ever reach the Immortal Realm?" Qiong Qi continued to complain to Ye Liuyun.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun was already in a state of extreme anxiety, with no mood to pay attention to Qiong Qi’s complaints.
At the same time, those martial practitioners who had come from afar and were guarding outside the secret realm, upon seeing that Man Shu, the strongest among these women, was already injured, thought it was an opportunity. They rushed into the secret realm one after another to search for them.
Wu Qingcheng, accompanied by Man Shu and others, managed to barely fend off several waves of martial practitioners. After that, they could only continue hiding deeper into the secret realm.
Meanwhile, Li Haoran continued to guard the entrance to the secret realm with local martial practitioners and the army.
Ye Liuyun supplied the flying vessel with spiritual stones without restriction. Despite the ordinary flying vessel typically taking two days for the journey, he arrived in Xinghe City in less than two hours.
Due to the excessive speed, the Formations outside the flying vessel had started to malfunction, causing a noticeable decrease in speed.
Fortunately, Ye Liuyun had already arrived, so it didn’t have much of a significant impact.
He simply tossed the flying vessel to Qiong Qi to repair and then donned the Concealcape before charging into the secret realm.
He saw the martial practitioners and the army guarding outside the secret realm, but he didn’t have time to deal with them. Saving people was the priority.
Upon entering the secret realm, Ye Liuyun released Qiong Qi and instructed his doppelganger to wear the Concealcape and guard the entrance of the secret realm. Anyone attempting to enter or exit would be swiftly dealt with.
Upon entering the secret realm, Ye Liuyun immediately established a Divine Soul contract and located the positions of Lei Ming and the others.
Upon learning that Lei Ming and the others were being pursued by martial practitioners and were gathered together, Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi immediately rushed over at full speed.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun, wearing the Skywalking Boots, astonishingly surpassed even Qiong Qi in speed, leaving Qiong Qi trailing behind by a significant margin.
"You woman-chasing scoundrel! You’re running so fast for a woman! How come you’ve never run this fast before?" Qiong Qi shouted from behind as he chased.
Ye Liuyun didn’t bother to respond, simply focusing on accelerating as much as possible. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
After learning that Ye Liuyun had arrived, Wu Qingcheng and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness Liuyun arrived just in time. Otherwise, if we fell into the hands of those martial practitioners, it would have been better off dead!"
At this moment, Lei Ming had already sensed Ye Liuyun rapidly approaching, so he instructed everyone to stop running.
As soon as they stopped, some faster martial practitioners caught up with them.
After consecutive battles and escapes, Wu Qingcheng and the others were all in a sorry state. Man Shu was still unable to fight at the moment.
Lei Ming and Dragon Lady also took several attacks on behalf of everyone with their own bodies, bearing numerous wounds all over, without time to rest.
They had already used their divine weapons once, and now, taking them out again, they prepared for the final defence, holding on until Ye Liuyun caught up.
"Why aren’t you running anymore?" asked martial practitioners of the eight rank of Sacred Majesty, smiling wickedly.
Several martial practitioners of the later stage of Sacred Majesty immediately surrounded by Wu Qingcheng and the others to prevent them from escaping again.
"Have you finally come to your senses and changed your mind? Should’ve done so earlier! Women, after all, are meant to marry! Follow me, and I guarantee you life of luxury and abundance. Resources will never be a concern!"
Another martial practitioner, seeing that they couldn’t escape, also began to harass them.
At this moment, the martial practitioner who spoke first suggested again, "Brothers, since there are fewer people now, let’s act quickly. Each of us can grab one without any problem. If we wait until later when there are more people, there won’t be enough to go around!"
"Exactly! Let’s do it together. I want the one with the highest cultivation level, the injured one will do! She looks quite plump! Another martial practitioners chuckled maliciously as he prepared to act.
"Then I’ll take the one with the longsword. She had a good figure, and she looks pretty decent too!" Another martial practitioner pointed at Wu Qingcheng and said.
These women are all covering their faces, so they can’t see their appearances; they can only judge based on their figures.
"No more talking, let’s get to it. I can’t wait any longer!" The martial practitioner who spoke first was already preparing to act.
Suddenly, he felt himself being locked down by a powerful force, which made him feel exceptionally endangered.
Before he could even turn around, a golden light shot towards him, piercing a large hole through his chest.
From afar, Ye Liuyun’s Golden Phantom Eyes could see that none of the women were missing, and he was relieved that he had arrived in time. Although some were injured, he wasn’t worried about their recovery as long as they had Vital Waters.
Now, although he was no longer worried, he was immediately replaced by anger. How could he let these martial practitioners chase his women to such a sorry state? He couldn’t let them get away with it!
Afraid that the Zenith Archer might not be enough to kill the martial practitioner, he directly used the Devil-hunting Bow.
After shooting the arrow, he immediately took out a Storage Stone to replenish energy.
With his current advanced energy reserves, after shooting an arrow with the Devil-hunting Bow, he still had a small portion of advance energy left.
However, he had no time to rejoice now; he only wanted to rush to his women’s side as quickly as possible to avenge them.
