ned his head to look at Dongyuan Mo Zun.“By the way, I suddenly want to ask, do you recognize this symbol”Fang Yu raised his left palm, turning his back towards the Eastern Yuan Demon Lord."Bang!"At t...Fang Yu looked around expectantly.

He was deep in the mountains, surrounded by them on all sides.

Perhaps because of the abundant spiritual energy, these mountains are all green hills, covered with thick vegetation on the surface.

Fang Yu glanced at the large pit on the ground again and looked up at the sky.

"Leave this place first."

Fang Yu thought this way, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Boom!"

At that moment, an explosion sounded behind him.

"Um"

Fang Yu frowned slightly and turned to look in the direction of the explosion.

There is a presence of cultivators in that direction.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

At this moment, the explosions continue relentlessly, the sound is deafening.

Even in the distance, one could see billows of smoke rising from behind a mountain range.

Fang Yu immediately released his divine sense, spreading it out in that direction.

"Beware the shadows beneath, for those are their arms! Do not let them touch you!"

"There are too many of them! I, we have to get out of here!"

"Ahhh!! Help me…"

Within the range of his divine sense, Fang Yu saw the scene at that location.

Four cultivators in blue robes, accompanied by over a dozen men in black, were engaged in combat with a group of creatures on the ground, resembling lizards in appearance.

Many dark shadows darted across the ground.

Several men in black were dragged directly into the ground, screaming.

"Brother Wuheng, we have to retreat from here!" The only female among the four blue-robed cultivators spoke with a pale face.

The ferocity she spoke of was now suspended in mid-air, her body radiating waves of spiritual energy.

Wu Heng's face was rough and his expression grim as he looked at the female cultivator. He nodded and said, "Ling'er, don't be afraid, I will protect you even if I die!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to the other two blue-robed cultivators and commanded, “A San, A Si, the two of you… escort Ling’er away. I will cover your retreat!”

"Brother Wu..."

Two younger monks, known as A-San and A-Si, paled visibly.

"Cut the crap, this is an order! If you don't leave now, none of us will make it out alive. We'll all die here together!" Wu Heng roared.

In his words, Wu Heng's aura exploded, and his palms struck down simultaneously.

True Fire Technique!

"Wow!"

Huge flames rained down from the sky, striking the monstrous beasts below.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

These monsters all burrowed into the ground at this moment.

The ferocious flames bombarded the ground, failing to inflict any substantial damage on these beasts.

Seeing this scene, whether it was Ling'er, or A San and A Si, or even those in black... all revealed expressions of despair.

They were so unlucky.

This time, in order to save time when going to Datong Ancient City, they decided to take a shortcut.

I never expected to run into such powerful Shadow Eaters halfway through the journey!

If they were in the city, they wouldn't encounter these Shadekind.

Outside the city, unable to fly in the absence of spiritual energy, encountering these Shadow Fiends... trouble would be enormous.

These Shadow Fiends are extremely troublesome and full of killing intent.

Besides Wu Heng, none of the others in their party could withstand the oppressive pressure and fly.

Therefore, he was trapped.

A person may run from hardship, but they cannot escape it.

He must protect Ling'er!

"Run!"

Wu Heng roared again.

At this time, his breath was already unsteady.

To forcibly fly against the restrictions of this world was a tremendous burden for him.

If Ke Ru stood on the ground, she wouldn't be able to fight these Shadow Fiend creatures at all!

"Run!"

Seeing A San and A Si still not moving, Wu Heng's face contorted in anger as he roared again.

At that moment, A San and A Si came to their senses.

They looked in Ling'er's direction and immediately ran over to her.

Ling'er's eyes were red-rimmed, and she looked at Wu Heng, tears welling up.

She knew that Wu Heng's actions... were a sacrifice to save her.

A San and A Si quickly returned to Ling'er's side.

Two people grabbed Ling'er's arms, then gritted their teeth and said, "Ling'er, we have to leave quickly! Otherwise, we won't be able to!"

"I, I..." Ling'er had tears in her eyes, unwilling to leave.

"Boom!"

Just then, a surge of overwhelming energy erupted from the sky.

Everyone's face changed.

"Clear out!"

A faint voice entered everyone's ears.

"Sigh..."

And then, golden fire waves descended from the sky, landing precisely on the ground.

"Sizzle..."

The Shadowfiend creatures were immediately consumed by flames, emitting a sizzling sound as they burned.

"Ooh ooh ooh..."

A chorus of eerie, piercing screams echoed through the air as hordes of Shadow Fiends instantly turned to ash, their skeletal remains scattering in the wind.

All the cultivators present stared blankly at the scene.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a man in white landed before them.

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

Patches of golden flame still burned on the ground, but there was no sign of the shadow creatures.

"Celestial Cultivator!"

All the cultivators present changed their expressions and felt a chill in their hearts.

It was effortless to incinerate those troublesome Shadow Fiend creatures. Such power… only a Xian-grade cultivator could wield it!

But the cultivator before him seemed so young, with no air of maturity at all.

"Thank you, senior, for saving my life!"

At this time, it was still Wu Heng who reacted first. He immediately clasped his fists and then knelt on one knee.

He did this, and the other cultivators present also came to their senses, following suit by kneeling on one knee and expressing their gratitude.

Fang Yu swept his gaze over the cultivators present.

Judging from past encounters, this Wuheng is the strongest among them, with cultivation likely around the Ascending Immortal Realm.

As for the other three blue-robed cultivators, some were still in the Huahen stage, and that female cultivator's cultivation was even lower, perhaps only at the Tianji stage.

However, those monsters just now weren't very strong.

A cultivator who has ascended to the Immortal Realm should never find themselves in such a perilous situation.

It was precisely because he felt puzzled that Fang Yu would lend a helping hand.

At the same time, it's also a good opportunity to get to know these locals and learn about this unfamiliar star and its vast expanse.

"Get up, I was just doing it casually," Fang Yu said.

"If it weren't for the senior's help, we would have surely met a tragic end," Wu Heng said with lingering fear on his face.

And at this time, Ling'er also let out a breath of relief, her face slowly recovering from paleness back to color.

Then, she looked at Fang Yu with curiosity on her face.

"What are these creatures" Fang Yu asked.

"This is... a creature from the Shadow Fiend race," Wu Heng replied. "This place shouldn't be within their range of activity, and we didn't expect... to encounter them here."

"Where are we" Fang Yu asked again.

"Twenty miles west from here lies Dà Tōng ancient city. That's our destination this trip," replied Wǔ Héng.

"I'm not talking about the vicinity here, I'm asking why this star is named this way" Fang Yu said, "Also, what great realm are we in"

Upon hearing this question, Wu Heng and the other cultivators were all stunned.

"Senior, are you from somewhere else..." Wuheng asked hesitantly.

"I... am from the Netherworld." Fang Yu replied.

From the Netherworld!

Hearing this, the cultivators including Wu Heng were deeply moved and filled with respect.n the Demon Emperor's Order in your hand."Then, another voice came from below.Speaking... was none other than the prince of Xianliu!The Xianliu prince sneered, looking up at Fang Yu and saying, "To ab...
