Chapter 4613: Sky Escape

Xiao opened its mouth and spewed a golden sound wave, which went straight towards Wang Qingling.

Before the golden sound wave even reached her, numerous cracks appeared in the nearby void, as if it were about to collapse.

Wang Qingling's delicate eyebrows furrowed; her eardrums stung intolerably, and various sounds echoed in her ears.

A powerful spatial force emerged, slowing down the golden sound wave.

A massive void then appeared, and Wang Qingling stepped into it. The void closed, which was naturally Nankong Changqing's doing.

The next moment, ripples spread through the void near Nankong Changqing, and a void opened, from which Wang Qingling flew out.

"Be careful, its power is immense. I also suffered greatly," Nankong Changqing warned.

Even in physical combat, he couldn't match Xiao; the amplification from its Rampage ability was too strong. Hu was relatively easier to deal with.

In a one-on-one fight, Hu was no match for him, as it hadn't mastered a supreme law. However, against Xiao, Nankong Changqing was outmatched, being only an early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Xiao strode towards Master Miaode, swinging its spiked club at him.

Master Miaode swung his staff to meet it. The two weapons collided, emitting a muffled clang of metal against metal.

Xiao opened its mouth and unleashed a golden sound wave. Master Miaode's body glowed with Buddhist light, and a golden halo swept out. The two attacks collided, tearing apart the void and collapsing the ground, raising clouds of dust.

Master Miaode flew out of the dust, his body unharmed. It was fortunate that he had asked Wang Changsheng to upgrade his staff to a top-tier immortal artifact; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Hu so quickly.

Xiao charged again, appearing before Master Miaode in an instant. Just then, a powerful spatial force emerged, immobilizing Xiao on the spot.

Dazzling nine-colored spiritual light burst from its body as it tried to break free. As an early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal, Nankong Changqing couldn't hold it for long; otherwise, Nankong Yueshuo wouldn't have been killed.

Strangely, this time, it failed to break free.

"A beast king dares to attack us? Do you think our Nankong family is easily intimidated?" A chilling male voice echoed.

As the voice faded, Nankong Dezhi flew out of the void, his expression frigid.

"Ancestor, Yueshuo was killed by it," Nankong Changqing said.

With the Legacy Tablet, Nankong Yueshuo could be resurrected, but it would take tens of millions of years.

"You're back so soon? Did other tribes reinforce the Chahar tribe?" Xiao asked, surprised.

Its first thought was that other tribes had reinforced the Chahar tribe, forcing Nankong Dezhi to retreat, as Mi had mastered the Law of Time and possessed late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, making its strength incomparable to Hu's.

"Hmph, Mi has already been dealt with by us. You agreed to help the Chahar tribe, but instead you came to ambush our home base?" Nankong Dezhi said with a grim face.

Wang Ruyan had soul-searched Mi and obtained much crucial information. The Chahar tribe had arranged with the Barghu and Tianga tribes that if attacked by the Nankong Immortal Clan, the two tribes would provide support. Wang Ruyan had used the Celestial Sound Flute to activate the Law of Sound, eliminating Chaos Beasts and pseudo-immortals below the Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage, giving them no chance to call for help from the two tribes. Nankong Dezhi hadn't expected the Barghu tribe to seize the opportunity to attack Tianfeng City.

"What? Mi was destroyed? Impossible!" Xiao found it hard to believe.

One must understand that the high priests of the Chahar, Tianga, and other tribes had all evolved three times and mastered supreme laws. If they could be so easily defeated, these tribes would have been crushed by immortals long ago. Master Miaode possessing a top-tier immortal artifact imbued with a Primal Chaos spirit treasure, allowing him to defeat Hu, was understandable. However, Mi had late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation.

The higher a Chaos Beast's cultivation and the more mutations it underwent, the stronger its Chaos Battle Armor's defense became. Even if Nankong Dezhi possessed a top-tier immortal artifact imbued with a Primal Chaos spirit treasure, it shouldn't have been so easy to eliminate Mi! Could he have a complete set of top-tier immortal artifacts imbued with Primal Chaos spirit treasures?

Nankong Dezhi offered no explanation, instead summoning a massive, silver-glowing pair of scissors that flew straight towards Xiao.

The silver scissors struck Xiao's Chaos Battle Armor, leaving only a shallow scratch. The Rampage ability could also enhance the armor's defense.

Xiao's eyes turned blood-red, its spiked club glowed with dazzling black light, and its body radiated blinding nine-colored spiritual light as it broke free from its restraints. It swung the black spiked club at the silver scissors, sending them flying backward.

It transformed into a streak of light and broke through the void to escape. Nankong Dezhi's cultivation was higher, and Xiao wasn't confident of victory. If the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple were to arrive, it risked being killed. Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away was the best.

Nankong Dezhi's right hand grabbed at the void, and a massive void appeared, sucking Xiao into it. However, that section of the void quickly collapsed, and Xiao escaped. It had pushed its Rampage ability to the extreme; if it focused solely on escaping, its opponents would find it very difficult to stop it.

"Follow me, don't let it escape," Nankong Dezhi commanded.

Nankong Changqing, Wang Qingling, and Master Miaode pursued, the group disappearing into the horizon.

With Xiao's escape, the remaining Chaos Beasts and pseudo-immortals scattered, fleeing for their lives. Nankong Yunyan commanded the immortals to eliminate them all, ensuring not a single one escaped.

Fairy Liuyun also arrived. The Ye family had received distress calls from both the Wang family and the Nankong Immortal Clan, but with only one Grand Luo Golden Immortal in their family, Fairy Liuyun decided after much deliberation to assist the Wang family first. The Wang family had shallower foundations than the Nankong Immortal Clan. If the Wang family requested aid, the situation must be very serious. The Nankong Immortal Clan had deep foundations and numerous masters, so they should be able to hold out for a while. Fairy Liuyun planned to assist the Wang family first, repel the Chaos Beasts' attack, and then proceed to support the Nankong Immortal Clan.

By the time she arrived at Azure Lotus City, the battle had already ended. Azure Lotus City surprisingly possessed two top-tier Immortal Extermination Cannons, and the two Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts were quickly eliminated. Fairy Liuyun then rushed to Tianfeng City, not expecting to still be a step too late.

"Fellow Daoist Nankong, have all the Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts been eliminated?" Fairy Liuyun asked.

The Wang family had swiftly dealt with two Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts. In her view, the Nankong Immortal Clan, having more Grand Luo Golden Immortals, should also be able to handle Chaos Beasts of that stage.

"No, only one was killed. Fairy Ye, why did you only just arrive?" Nankong Yunyan asked, puzzled.

Ten Thousand Buddhas City had a direct teleportation array leading to Tianfeng City, and Liuyun City also had a direct teleportation array to Tianfeng City. Master Miaode had arrived some time ago, yet Fairy Liuyun only just appeared. This was strange. Had Fairy Liuyun been out on an errand?

"I also received the Wang family's distress call," Fairy Liuyun explained, "and thinking your family was stronger and could hold out for a while, I went to assist the Wang family first, then come to you. By the time I reached Azure Lotus Island, Fairy Wang and her companions had already dealt with the two Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts, so I came over. I didn't expect the battle to be over already."

"What? The Wang family dealt with two Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts?" Nankong Yunyan asked, astonished.

One should know that the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple were away. Was Wang Qingling's strength really that formidable?

"The Wang family possesses top-tier Immortal Extermination Cannons," Fairy Liuyun explained, her face full of envy.

"Top-tier Immortal Extermination Cannons!" Nankong Yunyan's surprise was quickly followed by an expression of envy. Among the nine celestial cities under Kunlun Immortal Island's jurisdiction, only a handful possessed top-tier Immortal Extermination Cannons. Connecting this to the Yiyan Palace and Wang Changsheng's artifact refining skills, he no longer found it surprising. Given Wang Changsheng's artifact refining prowess, as long as he could acquire the core materials for crafting top-tier Immortal Extermination Cannons from Yiyan Palace, he should be able to forge them. If the Nankong Immortal Clan had a top-tier Immortal Extermination Cannon, their pressure would be significantly reduced.

Hu was only an early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal, while Mi was a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal who had mastered the Law of Time; their strength gap was immense. Mu Yan, Nankong Changqing, Master Qingyi, Du Jun, and Liu Qian did not possess top-tier immortal artifacts imbued with Primal Chaos spirit treasures. If not for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect purchasing many artifact refining materials from Yiyan Palace and Master Miaode asking Old Wang for help, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Hu so quickly, as the Chaos Battle Armor covered its entire body.
