Chapter 140: The Demon Race’s Attack

This group was composed of members from the Profound Heaven Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect, and every one of them possessed the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage.

They had discovered something unusual here and had come to investigate.

As for the Demon Race, they had already surrounded the Sect below. The highest cultivation level within this Sect was only at the Golden Core Stage, with three such individuals, whereas the Demon Race side had five or six people at the Golden Core Stage.

This was why they dared to target this Sect; they could just happen to capture one of the female cultivators at the Golden Core Stage to take back with them.

The members of the Liangshui Sect looked at the situation before them and realized they had encountered the Demon Race.

These Demon Race members did not care in the slightest about their Qi leaking out.

They could clearly sense that ominous aura of the Demon Clan members here.

As expected, the Demon Race already had a trump card; otherwise, they would not have appeared so brazenly with so many Demon Race members.

Moreover, the cultivation levels of these Demon Race members were not low.

The Sect Master of the Liangshui Sect and the other two Golden Core Stage members all knew that the situation was dire; this was completely beyond what they could contend with.

They could not do what a peerless Prodigy could—fight multiple Golden Core Stage existences alone.

Fortunately, they had been prepared for a long time and had laid down the Foundations of a Grand Array within the Sect, specifically to handle such situations.

Meng Ping looked at the two people beside him. "We cannot escape this. We can only make as much of a commotion as possible to see if anyone nearby notices and rushes over to help."

"Also, Elder Yu, I think you are aware of the rumors about the Demon Clan members; they are very fond of capturing high-cultivation female cultivators this time."

"I believe you are their target this time. If you are captured by them, there is no need to think about it—the outcome will be miserable."

"We will do our utmost to cover your escape this time. You must seize the opportunity. If you can escape, we still have a sliver of hope to survive."

Yu Xiao nodded. "I understand, Sect Master. I will seize the right moment."

The Demon Clan members in the sky did not offer much explanation to the people below.

They directly ordered an attack on the people of the Liangshui Sect. At the same time, a similar scene was playing out in other places; they had also been surrounded by members of the Demon Race.

As the Demon Race attacked, most of the Disciples of the Sect below scattered and fled; they simply could not contend with the people on the Demon Race's side.

Those with higher cultivation levels fought back resolutely. They knew that the Demon Race would not spare them, so even if they were to die, they would drag someone down with them; if they could take one with them, it would not be a loss.

The two sides instantly clashed.

Seeing this, the Golden Core Stage Demon Clan members also joined the fray. Those Disciples had absolutely no room to resist in their hands.

Seeing this, the three from the Liangshui Sect also descended to help the people of their Sect.

Meng Ping did not forget to instruct Yu Xiao, "Remember our plan. Find an opportunity and leave immediately. Do not look back when the time comes; the two of us will cover the rear."

Yu Xiao nodded. "I know. For now, let us first deal with these Demon Clan members."

The three flew down to contend with the Demon Clan members.

Instantly, the area below the Sect was in chaos.

At this moment, the group from the Profound Heaven Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect, who were heading this way, sensed the fluctuations of battle ahead and also felt the aura of the Demon Race.

The group exchanged glances. "It seems they are already under attack by the Demon Clan members. Let us hurry over to provide support."

"Right, first send word of this to the people in the south of the Sect."

"I am afraid that the Demon Race side might also have reinforcements coming. Moreover, looking at this aura, even if we go, we might not necessarily be able to take them down."

Having said that, the group accelerated toward the Liangshui Sect, while the situation at the Liangshui Sect currently was not optimistic.

Many Disciples had already met a tragic end, and the three of them were merely resisting with their lives.

They were also unsure if anyone could notice their situation and come to support them.

Meng Ping looked at the situation before them. "Yu Xiao, we cannot delay any longer. We will create an opportunity for you now; act according to the situation."

"Okay."

After speaking, the two instantly unleashed their full power, and waves of spiritual Qi energy swept across the entire scene.

Suddenly, a water Dragon rippling with waves rose out of thin air.

The Disciples of the Liangshui Sect saw the water Dragon in the sky. "That is the Sect Master's unique skill. I estimate those wretched Demon Clan members are in for a rough time now; it is said that this move has caused quite a few Golden Core Stage people to suffer."

The other one was not to be outdone; he waved out several array flags, surrounding the Demon Clan members and the two of them. The Grand Array rose instantly, enclosing the Demon Race members and the two of them inside.

Fortunately, they had prepared this Grand Array beforehand, which gave them this opportunity.

Seeing this, Yu Xiao did not hesitate and turned into a long rainbow, departing into the distance.

At this moment, Meng Ping also shouted loudly: "Fellow Disciples of the Sect, do not hesitate; take this chance and run immediately. The time the two of us can buy for you is limited. I hope you can survive."

Suddenly, many people saw this and knew that the Sect Master and the other were buying them an opportunity.

The Demon Clan members shrouded by the Grand Array knew they had been played by these two.

It would take them some time to break open this Grand Array; the Foundations of this Grand Array had clearly been prepared long ago.

They had to first deal with the two people in the Grand Array before them, otherwise, they would not be able to get out for a while.

Looking at the person who had already run far away, "You two are truly courting death. Do you think only you have a Dragon shadow? I have one too."

Suddenly, a black Dragon shadow, even larger than his, appeared before the two.

They knew they could not hold on for much longer, but fortunately, they had bought some time; at the very least, they could preserve some of their Sect's Foundation and had allowed Yu Xiao to escape.

The two exchanged a look and both smiled; they had known each other for a long time. "Old Wang, it has been a stroke of fortune in life to have known you. In the next life, we will still be brothers and establish a Sect together again."

"Good."

Meng Ping controlled the phantom of the water Dragon to attack the Demon Clan members ahead.

However, the several Demon Clan members were just wearing sneers on their faces and did not take his attack to heart.

The result was obvious: when the two phantoms collided, Meng Ping was instantly repelled and flew backward, only stopping when he hit the edge of the Grand Array.

However, the two did not give up and rose to fight the Demon Clan members.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiao, who was still flying, saw the group from the Profound Heaven Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect rushing over from the front.

She immediately arrived at the side of the group. "Fellow Daoists, please save our Sect; our Sect has been besieged by Demon Clan members."

Looking at the tearful woman before them, the anger in their hearts was magnified infinitely. "Those detestable Demon Clan members! Rest assured, we have come specifically to help you. We have also sent word to our Sect."

"They will send people over as well. We will go over to support now; I will make the Demon Clan members pay the price."

After listening, Yu Xiao nodded frantically. "Good, thank you all. Our Sect is saved. But please be quick—my Sect's Senior Brother is currently being besieged by the Demon Clan members to buy us time to escape. I fear that if you are any later, they will not be able to hold on."
