With Immortal Lord Bing Huo holding back the demon Immortal Lords in Wuji Immortal City, and the assistance of these mysterious black-robed experts, the four human teams quickly achieved their objective, looting all the strategic supplies stored in Wuji Immortal City.
"Everyone, do not engage in prolonged combat, retreat immediately!" Jia Ren shouted loudly as he flew in the air, his voice echoing throughout the city.
Troops from other parts of the Demon Alliance had already received the news and were rushing towards them, soon to arrive at Wuji City. Once surrounded, the meaning of this surprise raid would be lost. As agreed beforehand, upon hearing Xiao Fei's command, the four teams swiftly packed the treasures they had seized and departed rapidly along the pre-determined retreat route.
Jin Wu Cheng led the Yu Xu Palace disciples out of Wuji Immortal City and looked back. He saw Jia Ren flying alone in the sky, waving his hand to open a spatial passage in the void. Immediately, a group of masked black-robed figures emerged from Wuji City, bowing respectfully to Jia Ren before disappearing into the spatial passage without a word. Although there were only fifty of these black-robed figures, they were all Heavenly Immortal realm powerhouses. Judging by their actions, they held Jia Ren in high regard and were completely obedient to his commands.
At this moment, looking at Jia Ren, Jin Wu Cheng suddenly realized that despite knowing him for several hundred years, he understood nothing about him. He had always known Jia Ren to be overbearing on Morality Peak, a truly difficult person to deal with. However, he also knew that despite Jia Ren's overbearing nature, he had principles and bottom lines, which was why he was willing to associate with him. When they led their teams out to rescue together this time, he had initially thought his own strength surpassed Jia Ren's and had even patted Jia Ren on the shoulder, intending to take care of him. The thought now made him blush!
As Jin Wu Cheng fled into the distance, he couldn't help but keep looking back. All other battles within Wuji Immortal City had concluded. Particularly with the assistance of the fifty black-robed Heavenly Immortals, all the demon Heavenly Immortals in the city had been slain. Only the mysterious human Immortal Lord remained, locked in a fierce battle with the demon Immortal Lord. Their strengths were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand. Now, the human Immortal Lord wished to retreat, but the opponent was relentlessly pursuing him, determined to keep him there. Jin Wu Cheng felt a sense of familiarity when looking at this mysterious human Immortal Lord. He truly couldn't understand how Jia Ren, a mere Heavenly Immortal, could command so many Heavenly Immortals to be loyal, and even summon an Immortal Lord to assist him. Could Jia Ren actually be a hidden master, playing in the mortal world?
Just as Jin Wu Cheng was pondering this, Jia Ren beckoned, and another Immortal Lord realm expert emerged from the spatial passage before him. This time, Jin Wu Cheng's eyes widened completely; he could hardly believe what he was seeing. Besides him, many disciples from Yu Xu Palace and Qian Kun Palace also widened their eyes, looking at the newly appeared expert. This Immortal Lord expert was someone they all recognized, and even many on the demon side knew him. He was the moral exemplar of the entire world, always representing the direction of moral justice. Zhang Yi's reputation had spread far and wide, with statues erected in his honor in many places, making him known to almost everyone. It was just that Zhang Yi had now reached the Immortal Lord realm.
The moment Zhang Yi appeared, to maintain his persona and prevent it from collapsing, he couldn't help but roar at the demon Immortal Lord. "Silver Wolf Immortal Lord! You are wicked and cruel, harming the weak, your sins are unforgivable. Surrender quickly!" His roar was righteous and stern, almost as if he were about to exclaim, "I will destroy you in the name of justice." After his roar, Zhang Yi did not foolishly wait for Silver Wolf Immortal Lord to surrender; he immediately attacked, joining forces with Immortal Lord Bing Huo, and quickly gained the upper hand.
"You hypocritical human! I am a wolf, do you expect me not to eat meat and only eat grass!"
"It seems you are stubborn and refuse to repent!" Zhang Yi declared, unleashing his Nan Ming Flame, which transformed into a sea of fire, surging towards Silver Wolf Immortal Lord.
Seeing another human Immortal Lord arrive, Jin Wu Cheng knew that the human side, if not able to kill the enemy, could at least escape. He quickly turned and urged his subordinates to hurry and run, not to hold them back. After the four human teams had fled tens of thousands of miles along the predetermined route, they found a hidden spot to rest and await Jia Ren's return for regrouping.
"Will Jia Ren be alright?"
"Didn't you see two human Immortal Lords appear? He'll definitely be fine!"
"What exactly is Senior Brother Jia Ren's identity? To have two Immortal Lords fighting for him!"
"Even the son of the Palace Lord of Yu Xu Palace couldn't achieve this!"
"..."
Just as everyone was speculating about Jia Ren's identity, Jia Ren appeared before them with a smile. Jia Ren had no intention of explaining, instead gently tapping the rock beside him. "Everyone, no need to worry, we have successfully evaded the demon pursuers! After another day of rest, we will continue towards our next target."
In the following period, their small team of over a thousand human cultivators became elusive, attacking weak points within the Demon Alliance. They always moved like the wind, striking fear and terror into the hearts of many demons. Merchant caravans traveling between places were particularly vulnerable; upon encountering them, they had no power to resist. Jia Ren and his group stirred up trouble in demon territory, causing unrest within the demon ranks. News reached the front lines, causing many demons to worry. Ultimately, the demon coalition had to dispatch some of their forces to return home and clear out the threat.
However, as they divided their forces to return, Jia Ren and his companions were hidden within a chaotic void. "The demons besieging Yang Tian Realm have finally divided their forces. We can now quietly sneak back to rescue Yang Tian Realm."
"There are still many human powerhouses in Yang Tian Realm. With the demons dividing their forces, it's a good opportunity for them to break out."
"We will also go to the outskirts of Yang Tian Realm to disrupt the demon garrisons and create an opportunity for the trapped humans to break out."
After Jia Ren's dazzling command during this period, everyone had become completely convinced. Now that Jia Ren spoke, it was undoubtedly correct. "However, the demon defenses are currently tight, and our group of over a thousand is too large a target, making us easily captured. I have a small world immortal artifact here. You can all hide inside my immortal artifact first, and then I will take everyone to sneak over quietly."
As Jia Ren spoke, he took out a verdant fruit from his embrace, still attached to a small branch. The fruit rapidly expanded before everyone, transforming into a world that enveloped the space. The group, now fully trusting Jia Ren, unhesitatingly entered the small world immortal artifact. The small world reverted to a green fruit, falling into Jia Ren's hand. The next moment, Jia Ren also vanished from his original location.
Tens of thousands of miles away from this place, on the outskirts of Yang Tian Realm, Xiao You Yi was stealthily approaching. Suddenly, the space around Xiao You Yi blurred, and Jia Ren appeared beside him, carrying the small world immortal artifact. Using space as a bridge, he easily crossed tens of thousands of miles, transferring from the deep rear of the Demon Alliance to the outskirts of Yang Tian Realm in mere breaths.
