Goddamn bum! Xika cursed at herself who was unaware of the true strength of the great sect. He should have been able to guess what sort of thing categorizes the various sects into small, medium and large. Now that the situation had turned around, what would he have to do to get out?
Xika turned her head to look at Heiliao who was observing the circumstances and occasionally made sure that her uncle was fine. He hated to say it, but right now his uncle's whereabouts were an additional burden. Not enough himself to be a burden to Huo Bing and Heiliao for being too weak, now he was carrying his uncle as well and increasingly burdening the two.
He drew closer to Heiliao and intended to have a brief discussion of the space element, while there was still a chance. Because it seemed that the cultivators who had just arrived were still busy observing the circumstances.
"Heiliao, if we use spatial elements together, how far can we go?" Xika realized that the limit was only a few kilometers away from the Academy. It was by using all his strength and afterwards he would not be able to move.
Heiliao frowned for a while before replying, "I'm not sure, at the very most we can get to the border of the Capital, no, maybe less than that. That's also if I can use the space element together with you. In the worst case and you can only move yourself, how far can you go?"
Xika shook her head indicating that it was not enough. He realized Heiliao's intention. If Xika could move far enough away until she was safe from the big sects' targets, Heiliao would definitely encourage her to do so.
The wolf would definitely say that the main target of the big sects was Xika, so it was fine to leave her and Huo Bing here. But Xika wouldn't do that. After all, even though Heiliao and Huo Bing were not the main targets, the big sects still might torture the two to force Xika to appear. Not to mention his uncle.
"Give me your hand, let me take a peck at how much we're gonna get away with."
Xika reached out her hand which Heiliao immediately greeted. The wolf poured its qi into his body while frowning and then opened it after a moment of silence.
"It's worse than I thought. Even if we can escape from this place, we are still miles away from the border of the capital. After that we still have to pass through the wild forest that became the border between the Lin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. I don't know how long it will take to get through it safely. That's if we're not being chased."
Xika's expression instantly got worse. But unfortunately, he did not have time to think anymore. The twelve newly arrived Royal Realm cultivators seemed to have finished observing the circumstances and concluded that their side was being harmed at the moment. But their main focus was not the sect leaders, but Xika. No, rather the tree that was behind Xika.
Whether for what reason they didn't help their leader, maybe they didn't want to interfere with their leader's fight, Xika didn't know. But they all moved in unison to surround Xika.
"Son, step aside if you still want to live" said one who wore a robe similar to Tian Yue, Xika concluded the man was from the Sky Devouring Castle.
"Stupid, don't let him run away! It has more fruits of life than it has in the tree!" han Li shouted suddenly.
THE DUAK!
A BLAR!
Huo Bing immediately silenced the old man with his fire fist which was immediately fended off by Han Li. Behind him Meng Fuqin again launched an onslaught vigorously. The three were again busy fighting each other and were unable to focus their attention in the other direction. Even so, Han Li's previous remark was enough to make the newly arrived Royal Realm cultivator take his eyes off the Tree of Life and make Xika the main target.
"Well, who would have thought a snot boy like this would have so many priceless treasures?" The one speaking this time was the Immortal Pearl Pavillion cultivator.
"Well, I'll take my word. Hand over the fruits if you still want to live." said the man who first spoke.
Xika gritted her teeth while staring intently. Judging from the aura they exuded, 3 people were at the High-Jack level, 4 at Middle-Jack, and the remaining five at Low-Jack. If only Low-Jack alone he should be able to defend himself even though surrounded by five people. Middle-Jack's? The opportunity is getting smaller but still to try. High-Jack's? Maybe impossible.
"Well, quickly surrender before I lose my temper. I'm telling you, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Stop talking to him. Let our fists force it!"
Just before the cultivators from the Sky Devouring Castle and the Immortal Pearl Pavillion made a move, Xika's shadow moved again. Then from within his shadow, jumped three people who were wearing robes identical to Li Ming.
The three exchanged glances with Xika for a moment then smiled crazily as if they already knew who their opponents were and instantly darted at the three cultivators who were at the High-Jack level and started a battle that was no less outside it's common with leaders fighting.
The four cultivators in Low-Jack took action first and attacked Xika. Some tried to keep him in place so as not to escape. While the others were trying to attack Heiliao and Su Chen.
Xika did not intend to escape. He twisted the Space Shifter in his hand and fended off the incoming attacks while dodging some attacks that were intent on trapping him.
Heiliao on the other hand snorted at the attack aimed at him. Although he could not use the space element here, it did not mean that he could not fight at all. He waved his hand and easily held the wind balls aimed at him.
The same thing happened to Su Chen. He was the leader of the Divine Array Clan and was already in High-Jack. Each of the Middle-Jack cultivators trying to attack him were nothing but snots in his eyes. A bright formation appeared in front of him and absorbed all the attacks given out. Then a while later the formation re-lit while spewing out the attack it had absorbed earlier.
While fending off and dodging the incoming attacks, Xika again observed the situation. Of the twelve cultivators who had come, three of them had already been overcome by the Dark Shade Abyss, four Middle-Jack cultivators were facing Heiliao and Su Chen, while he himself was dealing with four Low-Jack cultivators. So where's the other one?
Xika immediately turned her head and found one cultivator that she had missed noticing was not far from the Tree of Life. There were only a few steps left for him to get one of the four remaining fruits on the tree.
"Suck!"
From this distance, Xika would not be able to stop the man.
The set!
SWOSH!
The man reached out his hand and was about to pluck one of the Fruit of Life. But just as his hand was about to pluck the fruit, an arrow of wind at high speed shot towards the man's hand.
The man, who was from the Burning Abyss Clan, quickly withdrew his hand before the arrow severed his hand. Luckily, he managed to pull his hand in time. He turned his head and found the attack coming from the end of the room separating this place from the basement.
There, stood five figures who were no stranger to Xika. Even if he had a bad history with them, but their arrival at this time was a favor he would not refuse.
The five figures were none other than Jing Wei with four protectors. The one who shot the arrow earlier was Elder Fen. His green robe was fluttering as if enjoying the chaos that was going on in this place.
But somehow, his robe was not as clean as usual. There were patches of blood and experienced a slight tearing in some places. And it wasn't just Elder Fen's robe that was like that. The other three Elders even Jing Wei himself was also wearing a tangled robe and was no less chaotic than Elder Fen's robe.
Then Xika narrowed her eyes and focused her gaze further. Although he did not see the existence of the body of a cultivator from another sect, but he could feel the chaotic aura of qi in the distance there. No doubt all five had experienced battle before getting to this place.
Maybe that's why he came late? But why was Jing Wei with them. Shouldn't he as the Head of the Academy keep things safe and in control? Where the hell has he been?
Then it dawned on Xika what Jing Wei and the other four Elders were doing. They make sure the disciples are safe, maybe evacuate them or something. What is certain is that the action is not smooth also seen from their robes.
"Sorry we're late." Elder Fen was the first to speak. He gave his usual smile to Xika.
Jing Wei took a step forward and looked at Xika, "I think I should thank you for protecting this place, I guess?"
Xika shrugged both of her shoulders in response. It then jumped backwards when a fire arrow was directed at it. After all, he had come to this place not to protect this place. He simply did not want Han Li's plan to succeed and let the man enjoy all the priceless treasures alone. But it was up to Jing Wei to assume that his actions were to protect this place.
"And now," Jing Wei stared at the various sect leaders who were here one by one, "i think it's time to end this banquet."
