Chapter 958: Setting the Stage

y person could kill him.“You put in quite a bit of effort for this battle.” 。Lu XiaTian forcefully pried open Jin Peng's mouth and fed him two pills. He then pointed at Jin Peng, and with a flash of w...Of course, Zhao heard Chen Hexian's desperate plea with a gloomy and furious face, so he rushed over hastily. However, he secretly thought that something must have gone wrong. Calculating the time, how could Lu Xia Tian, a newly-initiated cultivator, hold on for so long in front of Ku Yuan Ghost King, a renowned expert

As mere cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage from the Wan Yue Cultivation Realm, each one is exceptionally precious. Especially in this current crisis, they not only have to fight against the Ghost Clan, but even if they drive them away, they must still be wary of the Zhan Yue Alliance's return. Losing even one cultivator would be a significant loss for Wan Yue.

As the leaders of the Moon-Gazing Assembly, the Ancient Sword Sect and the Qingdan Palace naturally recognized the formidable power within.

However, when Zhao arrived, he found that things were not as they seemed. At a glance from afar, he saw the towering ghost ape, resembling a small mountain, already pressed to its knees by the Seven Palaces Pagoda. Its body trembled and strained against the pagoda's spiritual light, struggling to hold on. The surrounding flames of Brahma-like spirits surged like raging waves.

Originally, Lu Xia Tian was thought to be a fellow who would be killed. Unexpectedly, he violently suppressed the Ku Yuan Ghost King. Even when fighting the Ku Yuan Ghost King, facing the Ling Quan Ghost King's aerial strike, he directly blocked it with his hand. Although it seemed that he was affected, with a line of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, compared to Lu Xia Tian, Zhao naturally suffered a much greater impact.

At the same time, Zhao naturally also had a few points of annoyance in his heart. If it weren't for him and Lingquan Ghost King coming to disrupt things, looking at Ku Yuan's current miserable appearance, even if he could hold back Lingquan Ghost King for a moment, this guy would have to settle with Lu Xia Tian.

“Alright, Zhao Daoist friend, you hold back this green-faced and fang-toothed one. I'll take care of the Ku Yuan Ghost King.” Lu Xia Tian replied coldly.

Originally, this Lingquan Ghost King rushed over. Lu Xia Tian's heart turned cold. Fighting this cave ape Ghost King himself, his magical power had already been consumed greatly. As for the later stage Ghost Kings, they were in their prime. He was probably not an opponent, let alone after a great battle, if Zhao certainly hadn't killed him, Lu Xia Tian estimated that he would have already escaped without a trace.

After the brief delay, Chen He Nian and Hua Yingfu, as well as Ming Ya Zhen Ren, arrived. However, the Yan Lang Ghost Clan and two other ghost clans also came together. Seeing that Lu Xiao Tian was unharmed, Chen He Nian let out a huge sigh of relief.

As for the Monkey King of the Cave, he seemed to be in a very miserable situation. His body was covered with large patches of festering wounds burned by the flames of Brahma's spirit, and many flames had entered his body, causing him great torment. However, Chen He Nian and others only thought that Zhao Dan had arrived early and seriously injured the Monkey King of the Cave, and they didn't associate the wounds on the Monkey King's body with Lu Xia Tian.

"Zhao, of course, this isn't a suitable place. Let's fight another day!" The Qingmianliao (青麵獠牙) Lingquan Ghost King’s voice rang like clashing gold and stone as he carried the Ku Yuan Ghost King away. His speed didn't seem to decrease at all compared to before.

"Zhao Daoist friend, do we chase after them or not" Hua Yingfu asked.

“What are we chasing after That Lingquan fellow has monstrous magical power, I’m still a bit inferior to him. If we really fought, I wouldn't have an easy time. Besides, Lu Daoist doesn't have much magical power left now. If we truly clashed, we wouldn't get any advantage.” Zhao naturally shook his head and said.

“Many thanks to Daoist Zhao for your help, otherwise, this time Junior Brother Lu would have been in danger.” Chen He Nian bowed his hands to Zhao Dao and expressed his gratitude. His heartfelt appreciation was undoubtedly true.

"Pshaw, if I hadn't come along and ruined Lu Daoyou's good time, that cave-dwelling ape demon king would probably have been squashed into a patty by now."

Zhao naturally curled his lips, recalling the sight of the Kua Yuan Ghost King struggling desperately under the pagoda when he first arrived. Even now, a hint of surprise remained on his face.

"What" Chen He Nian, Hua Ying Madam, and Ming Ya Zhen Ren were three cultivators who had formed their Nascent Soul for many years. However, they had only remained at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Seeing the miserable appearance of the Kua Yuan Ghost King, with traces of spiritual fire burns on his body, Zhao Dao Ren, also a fire-element cultivator, naturally thought of him.

But who knew that things weren't as simple as they seemed Although Zhao Dang certainly didn't look like he was joking, this matter was indeed too bizarre. If it weren't for Zhao Dang's status as a great cultivator, Madam Hua Ying and the others would have probably scoffed at him outright.

“Let's go, we shouldn't stay here for long; who knows if the Ghost Clan has any other plans.” Zhao naturally waved his hand, leading everyone back.

Lu Xia Tian also let out a sigh of relief at this time. Even if Zhao Dang arrived, he was inclined to withdraw directly. After all, his magical power had been consumed greatly, and lacking sufficient self-defense ability, Lu Xia Tian really didn't want to stay in this melee for any longer. Although their side's strength was not weak, after all, it was still more reliable when he had combat effectiveness. What he said before was just a pretense of weakness.

Recalling the battle with the Cave Ape Demon King, Lu Xia Tian gained a lot, especially mastering the use of the Misty Sword Formation to restrain the Cave Ape Demon King. Facing such a powerful enemy for the first time, Lu Xia Tian's understanding of the Misty Sword Formation deepened further.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Seeing that Lu Xiaoteng had something on his mind and didn't want to talk about his fight with the Ku Yuan Ghost King, Chen He Nian, Hua Ying Fu and the others didn't press him. Instead, their silence made them even more curious about what happened between Lu Xiaoteng and the Ku Yuan Ghost King.

> Just the specific process, Zhao certainly didn't know very well. By the time Yue Certainly arrived, the Ku Yuan was already pressed under the tower in danger, and then he was rescued by the Lingquan Ghost King.

Not to mention Chen He Nian and the others, even Zhao Dang was filled with curiosity. However, seeing Lu Xia Tian lost in thought, as if he had gained some insight during the duel, the few of them wisely refrained from disturbing him.

Chen He Nian's surprise, however, was impossible to hide. Although over the past millennia, Lingxiao Palace had suffered considerable losses among its Jindan, Zhuji, and Qi Refining cultivators, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators, who formed the very foundation of a sect, had reached its peak during this period. Not only did the number of Nascent Soul cultivators reach an unprecedented high, but there were as many as four!

Moreover, besides him, Xiao Xiangyu, Luo Qian, and Lu Xiaoxian are all rising stars. Especially Lu Xiaoxian, his strength is simply astounding. He can suppress powerful beings like the Kūyān Ghost King shortly after forming his Nascent Soul. At this rate, he's likely to ascend to become a Great Cultivator soon. Lingxiao Palace has reached its peak, but this peak is not the end, it's just the beginning.

If Chen He Yu were still here, to see this moment, how wonderful it would be. Chen He Nian sighed softly in his heart.

"Lingxiao Palace's rise has probably become a foregone conclusion." Mingya Zhenren and Hua Ying Fuzi looked at Lu Xiaoteng, both feeling the same sentiment in their hearts. Even Zhao Dang, who had always been cautious towards Lu Xiaoteng, showed his intentions of making friends quite clearly. Even without advancing to a great cultivator, thanks to his previous battle, Lu Xiaoteng had truly gained recognition among the many Yuan Ying cultivators in Wang Yue.a while, mostly about the current chaotic demon realm situation and some events that had happened in the chaotic demon realm over the years. 。Although Zhu Qi and Bai Li had both reached the Integrati...
