I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 336 Lifeline Cut Off (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At the Nanguandu Port, the previously orderly evacuation scene suddenly collapsed.

"Get out of the way! Let me onto the ship!!"

"Get out! We got this ship first!"

"You bastards from the Immortal Alliance! Why are only your people allowed to leave first?!"

Roars, cries, and curses mingled together, and an atmosphere of despair enveloped the entire Nanguandu.

The earth and sky roared, accompanied by panic and screams. Someone rode a flying sword and soared into the sky, only to be cut in half by a spatial rift that suddenly opened up in mid-air, and blood rained down.

On the Cangling Sect's ship, True Monarch Longri waved his sleeve, and the swarm of silver mist insects transformed into a barrier, keeping the chaotic crowd outside.

Although True Monarch Huiyuan was reluctant, for the safety of his disciples, he could only wave his palm to repel several rogue cultivators who were trying to force their way onto the ship.

True Monarch Huiyuan is carrying the most important inherited scriptures of the Cangling Sect over the past few thousand years, and this ship must not be lost.

Shen Puning, Xin Wushuang, and Shang Shixu stood on the ship's side, watching helplessly as the port descended into madness.

Chu Qianji, Li Hanshan, Cang Qingyue, and Su Chanyi, along with some elite disciples and True Immortals who had recently formed their Core Formation, all came to the deck.

Chu Qianji said worriedly, "Feng Wuhen and Xiao Jue have not yet arrived at Nanguan Ferry with their respective masters."

To save space on the ship, the disciples of the Cangling Sect shared a ship with the people of the Xuanying Sword Sect.

At this moment, Liu Taozhi was standing at the stern of the boat, tightly gripping Luo Qingsi's wrist, while the other Sword Sect disciples looked grief-stricken.

"Let me go! I need to go back and save my master!"

Luo Qingsi struggled to jump off the boat, but couldn't bear to hurt Liu Taozhi, so she didn't use her sword energy.

"Have you forgotten what Bu Liujianjun said to you before he left?" Liu Taozhi cried out in grief.

Luo Qingsi's tense body gradually relaxed. "Master said... that I should challenge the Eastern Continent Sword Dao Heaven Ranking. If I don't make it onto the Heaven Ranking, I shouldn't go back to see him. He won't acknowledge me as his disciple."

Liu Taozhi fought back tears, "Then did you make it onto the Heavenly Ranking?"

Luo Qingsi gripped the sword in her hand tightly, lowered her head in shame, and said, "I didn't."

"Then can you go back?"

Tears streamed down Luo Qingsi's face. "No."

Suddenly, Luo Qingsi looked up and shouted, "I won't listen to you! I'm going to find Senior Sister! I'll listen to Senior Sister!"

Luo Qingsi searched everywhere and, seeing the Cangling Sect members, rushed over and asked, "Where is my senior sister?"

Shen Puning hesitated to speak, Xin Wushuang remained silent, Shang Shixu glanced at Liu Taozhi behind him and noticed that Luo Qingsi seemed somewhat foolish, and sighed silently in his heart.

"Senior Sister Jiang Yi went to Dongzhou ahead of you. If you want to find her, you can only go to Dongzhou."

Luo Qingsi lowered her head in disappointment, while Shen Puning, arm in arm with Xin Wushuang, looked towards Bei Xuan.

The sky had been stained dark red by demonic energy, and thick black demonic energy blotted out the sun. The roars of demons echoed through the air, as if the end of the world had arrived.

But they could only watch helplessly as their homeland crumbled and their friends disappeared without a trace.

……

Within Cangling Sect.

The earth trembled violently, and the roar of collapsing mountains was deafening. Most of the twelve peaks of Cangling had already collapsed.

Dark demonic energy surged from the cracks in the ground, transforming into ferocious monsters. Their forms were twisted; some resembled giant pythons but were covered in bone spurs, while others were neither human nor non-human, their bodies oozing pus and blood. They roared and pounced on the fleeing disciples.

A Qi Refining disciple would instantly turn into a pool of pus and blood simply by touching demonic energy.

The Foundation Establishment disciples could hold out for a while with their protective qi, but the demons were endless. They were caught up by the demons and were about to die when a thick green vine suddenly broke through the ground and pierced through the demon's body like a sharp sword.

The demon let out a shrill scream and vanished into black smoke as it was strangled by the immortal vines.

The protective vines continuously emerged from the ground. They were entirely emerald green with golden runes flowing across their surface, and wherever they passed, all demons were reduced to ashes.

The immortal vines deftly coiled up the injured Foundation Establishment disciples and transported them to safety.

"Look! It's a thousand-year-old tree on Lingbo Mountain! Run that way!"

At the foot of Lingbo Mountain, ancient trees stand majestically, their thick roots, like coiled dragons, deeply embedded in the earth, suppressing the already broken seal buried underground and delaying the eruption of the power beneath it.

The tree canopies intertwine to form a sky-covering dome, covering the entire Lingbo Mountain and its main peak, Sanwei Peak, creating a verdant haven amidst the rampant demonic energy of the world.

The branches and leaves of the ancient tree swayed in the gale, the golden patterns on its trunk shimmered, and many rat demons and spirit weasels who worked in various parts of the sect were squatting on the tree.

At the entrance of the shattered main hall of the Inner Affairs Hall, Lu Qingya, the sect leader of the Cangling Sect, looked dejectedly at the Foundation Establishment disciples who were continuously being sent in by the Immortal Vine.

Luo Heng, Yu Wei, and Xuan Zhi, the three Golden Core cultivators, guarded three directions respectively, fighting tirelessly to help clear out the demons trying to flood into the area.

Luo Heng, now all alone, chose to stay. Xuan Zhi, who had been in the Golden Core stage for many years, was still only in the mid-stage and, knowing he wasn't as talented as his fellow Golden Core disciples, also chose to stay. Yu Wei, on the other hand, decided to leave with the sect leader as part of the last group, to assist him in handling affairs.

Xuanzhi's disciple Feng Wuhen and Yuwei's disciple Xiao Jue were originally supposed to go to Nanguan Ferry with the first batch of people to evacuate, but they chose to stay behind temporarily to wait for their respective masters. This decision caused them to miss the opportunity to escape.

There was also Qi Tian, ​​who, because of his good relationship with Feng Wuhen and Xiao Jue, did not travel with the Qi family's group and was also here at this moment.

Amidst the crowing of roosters, the monsters were forced back.

"Zhuang Chengxuan, well done! Keep crowing! Those outside, hurry up!"

Qi Tian shouted to help the Foundation Establishment cultivators who were escaping from outside. Zhuang Chengxuan stood beside Feng Wuhen, who maintained the wind formation to kill the tentacles of the demons attacking from the darkness.

Xiao Jue charged out alone, surrounded by various flying swords, to cover the retreating disciples.

Chisongzi stood beside Lu Qingya, holding the cat that guarded the secret pavilion in his arms, and the big yellow dog that guarded the library lying at his feet.

Seeing Lu Qingya's grief-stricken expression, Chisongzi comforted him, "Sect Master, you have done very well. In the past six months, you have specially issued many tasks, paid the disciples in advance, and even distributed the demon spirits raised in the sect. You have sent all the disciples who did not have the opportunity to leave through Nanguan Ferry to various ports in Beixuan. Whether they can escape or not depends on their own fate."

Lu Qingya's smile was bitter, yet many people still died.

At this moment, they will all die here.

With the seal broken and the rules of Heaven in chaos, the teleportation array will inevitably fail. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator flies with incredible speed and energy without regard to the cost, it will still take more than ten days to get from here to Nanguan Ferry.

To reach the nearest city, Yuyang, it would take a Golden Core cultivator at least a day to fly there. If they were to bring along the Foundation Establishment disciples, the Golden Core cultivator would be dragged down and killed.

Moreover, it's not certain that one can escape to the sea from Yuyang City. Even without strong winds on the Boundless Sea, the sea monsters are not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator can easily deal with.

The seal is right beneath their feet. How long can the ancient tree and the immortal vine hold out?
They were simply standing on the crater of a volcano about to erupt, waiting to die.

boom!
A terrifying claw, capable of blotting out the sky, slammed down on the treetops, unleashing a suffocating pressure!

The demonic claws writhed like living things, devouring the surrounding demonic energy and continuously solidifying and expanding.

The tree crown trembled violently, its branches and leaves shattered, and the ancient tree let out a painful wail. The underground seal that the tree roots had been suppressing also shook, and the demonic energy surged out even more violently.

"not good!"

The people hiding under the tree canopy looked up, their pupils shrinking. The demonic claw resembled the hand of an ancient giant god, its five fingers ferocious, with countless twisted demonic shadows wrapped around its fingertips, roaring as it tore at the branches and leaves of the ancient tree!

Even more despairingly, another demonic claw emerged from the demonic clouds, tearing the sky apart and grabbing the other side of the tree canopy!
The tree canopy was forcibly split open, and a burst of sunlight pierced through, but it was not light; instead, it was a crimson stream of fire descending from the shattered sky.

The group finally saw the monster in its entirety. It was as majestic as a mountain, its body pieced together from countless twisted demonic shadows, and two scarlet demonic eyes looked down as if mocking the struggle of ants!
"Help...help me!!!"

A Foundation Establishment cultivator screamed in despair. The fear in that instant caused him to immediately begin to turn into a demon. Xiao Jue's face hardened, and a flying sword flew over without hesitation, severing the cultivator's head.

His battlefield experience had spurred him to overcome all fear.

The protective immortal vine burst forth from the ground, its thick tendrils coiling around the demonic claw, attempting to crush it. However, the demonic energy on the claw was like a persistent leech, frantically gnawing at the immortal vine. The black energy spread along the tendrils, and the immortal vine was corroded until it broke apart inch by inch.

"You all stand back!"

Luo Heng and Xuan Zhi roared and attacked at the same time!

Luo Heng's natal demon spirit, the Crimson Flame Lion, roared and transformed into a blazing longsword. The blade was engulfed in raging flames, and it slashed at the demonic claws!

Xuanzhi's natal demon spirit, Qingxiao Yunpeng, flapped its wings and cried out, transforming into a green feather fan. With each flap, a gale howled, fueling the fire and causing the blazing blade light to surge several times over, tearing at the demonic claws like an angry dragon.

However, with just a slight tremor of the demonic claw, an overwhelming demonic power erupted, the crimson flame blade light shattered, and the azure sky gale dissipated. Luo Heng and Xuan Zhi were struck as if by lightning, spitting out blood, and their bodies flew backward like kites with broken strings, directly crashing the Internal Affairs Hall into ruins.

"Master!"

Upon seeing this, Feng Wuhen shouted and rushed into the ruins to find Master Xuanzhi.

Seeing this, Master Yu Wei, who was protecting the other Foundation Establishment disciples, had a look of despair in his eyes. He watched helplessly as the giant demonic claw tore through the tree canopy and grabbed at the group, while other demonic creatures surged in like a flood.

"Hua Gu!"

At the critical moment, a clear shout pierced the darkness.
Everyone looked up in astonishment and saw a figure in green robes fluttering in the wind beneath the tree canopy.

For the first time, they felt that the name Hua Gu was like heavenly music.

Jiang Yi stood in mid-air, holding the Yaoling Sword. Her hair flew like ink splashed in the demonic wind. The ice crystal crane that Hua Gu had transformed into spread its ten-zhang frost wings, and its cry was clear and melodious like shattered jade.

In an instant, the entire boiling tide of demons was frozen. The ferocious monsters that were pouncing and biting remained frozen in mid-air, their last ferocious expressions intact. Frost climbed up the demon claws, freezing the mountain-like giant claws into pale ice sculptures.

break!
Jiang Yi swept his sword horizontally, and silver flames burst forth from the blade.

The flames were as clear as a mirror with ten thousand facets. Wherever they passed, the ice-sculpted demons crumbled like glass. Under the scorching heat of the Bright Mirror Heart Flame, even the demon claws were burned into smoke and completely annihilated.

"This is the inner fire of a Golden Core cultivator?!"

Master Xuanzhi staggered to his feet, looking at Jiang Yi who had suddenly appeared in shock. He had been in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm for many years, but had not yet cultivated his inner fire.

Jiang Yi has only been cultivating for a short time. Back when he was taking the inner sect assessment, he hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, but now he's already surpassed him. His talent is simply irresistible and makes people jealous.

Luo Heng lay in the ruins, gazing up at the white crane whose frost-covered wings blotted out the sky, the shards of light refracted by the ice crystals falling into his eyes.

In a daze, it was as if he saw his beloved disciple Lin Xiyue riding an ice phoenix again. Luo Heng Zhenren suddenly choked up and his eyes became wet.

Xi Yue, the person you risked your life to save back then has now saved your master's life!
