It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

As long as his character appears on the battlefield, the demons will not hesitate to abandon other targets and instead besiege him.

During the breakout, Su Chen was only able to make a handful of moves.

And he also had to make sure he wasn't held back by those demons.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived at all.

"There's no way to survive, what should we do?"

Su Chen studied for a long time but still couldn't find a reasonable escape route.

However, by acting as bait for others, he can actually increase their survival rate.

"Forget it, how about we try to find Xuanmingzi?"

I chose two of the first three options, but I haven't taken the path to find Xuanmingzi yet.

Although the area where Xuanmingzi was located was more dangerous, the people there were all very familiar with the Daoist sect.

If we can meet up with them, we might be able to get information that we haven't paid attention to before.

Rollback, select option 2!

The moment you stepped out of the spirit pool, you saw countless corpses of your fellow disciples and demons.

The entire mountain gate has now been transformed into a massive battlefield.

[As far as the eye can see, battles are raging everywhere. Even the Spirit Pool, a secret realm, has been invaded by large numbers of demons. You are very worried about your master's safety.]

Without a moment's hesitation, you headed straight for the area where Xuan Mingzi was located.

Along this journey, you have gained a more direct understanding of the crisis facing the Taoist sect.

You know all too well just how tempting your existence is to those demons.

You dare not use your full strength, for fear of attracting the attention of the demon race.

[You proceeded cautiously, and after easily dispatching a few demons, you finally arrived at the courtyard where Xuan Mingzi resided.]

[However, this small courtyard was already dilapidated, as if a fierce battle had taken place there.]

Looking at the traces at the scene, it's clear that Xuan Mingzi has most likely left.

Just as you were about to search for Xuan Mingzi, you suddenly discovered a message he left for you in the ruins.

Xuanmingzi and several others left together, but the message he left behind is guiding you to find him.

Following the coordinates left by Xuan Mingzi, you unexpectedly found a secret passage leading underground in an inconspicuous courtyard.

[Only after you ventured deep into the secret passage did you discover Xuan Mingzi's whereabouts.]

[Xuan Mingzi still possessed the strength of the Golden Core stage. Upon meeting you, he casually joked with you, saying he regretted not being able to address you as a fellow Daoist.]

[You can see that the other party is capable of entering the Nascent Soul stage at any time, but due to certain events, he has given up on breaking through.]

Perhaps it was the invasion of the demon race that interrupted his plans to break through.

The number of people hiding in the underground tunnels is not small.

However, the majority of them are at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages.

Those who truly possess formidable combat power are not numerous.

You briefly explained the situation to them.

Everyone who heard the news felt their hearts sink instantly.

They were all able to discern the true nature of the situation currently facing the Daoist sect.

Waiting for reinforcements from other sects is virtually impossible.

They need to save themselves.

[From Xuan Mingzi, you learned that the secret passage before you will eventually lead to the outside of the Dao Gate.]

However, you will have to overcome several obstacles before you can escape alive.

The biggest problem right now is that there are far too many weak disciples here.

Once they start moving, they will be easily exposed to the detection of the demon race once they leave the area of ​​the secret passage.

Their agreed-upon solution was to sacrifice a few of them to draw the attention of the demons. Then, the others would lead their fellow disciples to move as far outside the mountain gate as possible.

The spots were already filled before you arrived.

[Xuan Daozi and Xuan Yezi, who previously had disagreements with Xuan Mingzi, are both on the list of those who sacrificed themselves.]

On the contrary, Xuan Mingzi, who could break through at any time, was the last guarantee for these weaker individuals to break through.

Your arrival has greatly excited them. After all, your combat strength is already sufficient, and with your addition, the safety of these weaker fellow disciples will be greatly improved.

Just as you were preparing to move, a commotion suddenly came from above the secret passage, followed by dozens of demons bursting through the thick layer of earth and charging straight at you.

This turn of events was beyond your expectations, but you still proceeded according to your original plan, both blocking the enemy and retreating.

[However, there are simply too many demons. Even if you fight with all your might, you still cannot protect everyone's safety.]

Under the pursuit of the demon race, almost all of the personnel originally assigned to cover the retreat were killed.

The demon race is about to catch up with your forces.

[Xuan Mingzi only gave you a glance before flying directly towards the back of the group.]

In an instant, a powerful surge of energy emanated from the tail.

[Xuan Mingzi, who had suppressed his cultivation level for a long time, finally unleashed his power at this moment!]

But you also know in your heart that you don't have much time left.

You need to decide whether to stay or leave!

Chapter 176 I'll Be the Bait

Just as you were about to turn back to support Xuan Mingzi, you were unexpectedly pushed back by a powerful force.

That was Xuanmingzi's power.

He firmly rejected your support through his actions.

The moment a Nascent Soul cultivator appeared on the battlefield, the situation instantly changed.

[A large number of pursuing demons were instantly killed by Xuan Mingzi.]

The pursuing troops, who had initially swarmed towards them, were almost entirely intercepted by Xuan Mingzi single-handedly.

The pressure behind you has suddenly lessened, and it seems that the hope of escaping is just around the corner.

However, before you could escape the mountain gate, two Nascent Soul stage demons blocked your way in front of the secret passage.

Without any hesitation, you charged straight at the two demons.

You exhausted all your magical treasures and array plates, just to buy your fellow disciples a very short amount of time.

You have lost consciousness.

[You are dead. 】

【…】

"There was a secret passage?"

However, it seems this secret passage has already been exposed?

Su Chen glanced back at the records and saw that the other demons had already gathered in that direction on his way to the secret passage.

Even without these pursuers, the demons would have already blocked the exit of the secret passage.

No matter which path they choose, their ultimate fate is death.

"Is it a certain death?"

It shouldn't be.

It is resilient and has not yet been fully developed.

This is just the beginning; there's no way it'll end in certain death.

Su Chen frowned.

Each breakthrough in body cultivation allows one to directly transcend a certain realm.

However, this is on the premise that you push your body to its limit before making a breakthrough.

Having just completed a breakthrough in the game, it's impossible to become stronger again in a short period of time.

In other words, Su Chen, under the premise of being at the Golden Core stage, would have to escape the mountain gate from the siege of Golden Core demons.

"We can't avoid the secret passage, but we have to lure those demons away before we go."

The demons blocking the exit were indeed quite powerful.

However, it's not entirely without a solution.

Su Chen studied it carefully.

Apart from Xuanmingzi, the others in the secret passage all possessed formidable combat abilities.

By concentrating their strength, they could completely catch the two demons off guard and, in a brief burst of power, wipe them out.

"In a situation where I am outnumbered, perseverance should be able to raise my combat strength to another level."

Even against a demon at the peak of the Golden Core stage, I have enough fighting power.

Su Chen licked his lips.

With one sect fighting against an entire realm, the fate of the Daoist sect is probably already sealed.

Su Chen didn't want the story to end here, since he hadn't seen how it would go.

Get involved personally!

With a flash of light, the scene before Su Chen's eyes changed completely.

Seeing the Spirit Pool with his own eyes was still somewhat beyond Su Chen's expectations.

"Is this what a prestigious family is like?"
