Chapter 1554: New Wolf Guards
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" roared both Xiang Yangzhan and Purple Lightning Marquis furiously.
They both charged toward Xiang Shaoyun immediately, trying to protect him from harm. As for Di Nian, he hurriedly retreated back into the Di Clan with Di Mie. At the same time, he activated the G.o.d-gade formation and attacked both Xiang Yangzhan and Purple Lightning Marquis at the same time.
"You need to pay the lesson for attacking the Di Clan," said Di Nian coldly.
Facing such a powerful attack, Scarlet Flame Monarch and Yu Huayan brought the others high into the air and far from the city, afraid that they were still in the formation"s range. As for Xiang Shaoyun, the explosion had struck him head on. Fortunately, the Nether Soul Dragon Headband had protected his soul clone. Otherwise, his soul would have suffered grievous injuries.
Xiang Yangzhan grabbed him and asked, "Yun"er, are you fine?"
"I"m fine. Help me over to my main body," replied Xiang Shaoyun"s clone weakly.
"Ok. Just you wait. I"ll destroy this place," said Xiang Yangzhan murderously.
He then tried flying high into the sky with Xiang Shaoyun, but the formation was too powerful, with strand after strand of G.o.d Realm energy shooting toward them. It wouldn"t be an easy task for them to flee. To make matters worse, the other Di Clan G.o.ds were also attacking, surrounding them with G.o.d Realm attacks that threatened to destroy the very s.p.a.ce they existed in.
Purple Lightning Marquis unleashed his formidable strength, sending out numerous purple lightning bolts akin to purple dragons and serpents. The lightning bolts clashed with the attacks repeatedly, creating numerous explosions that nearly overturned the city.
Purple Lightning Marquis performed remarkably well by staying calm in the face of so many G.o.d Realm attacks. Anyone else in his position would have been killed immediately. Xiang Yangzhan wanted to fight the Di Clan G.o.ds as well, but for Xiang Shaoyun"s sake, he instead focused on escaping.
Instant Bolt!
Holding Xiang Shaoyun with one hand and his spear with his other hand, he stabbed at the sky, unleas.h.i.+ng boundless lightning energy that blasted through the formation"s energy. Even after unleas.h.i.+ng such a powerful attack, he still had enough strength left to charge high into the sky. After charging out of the formation"s range with Xiang Shaoyun, Xiang Yangzhan flew toward the main group, allowing the soul clone to reunite with Xiang Shaoyun"s main body.
"I"ll go back in there and mess them up!" said Xiang Yangzhan before flying away without even waiting for Xiang Shaoyun to say anything.
Xiang Shaoyun looked worried, but he knew he couldn"t stop his father. Instead, he said to the others, "Let"s leave."
"I"ll stay behind and give them a hand," said Scarlet Flame Monarch.
"No. We leave immediately. They will be able to get away. There are definitely more Di Clan experts coming. We will only be a burden if we stay," said Xiang Shaoyun calmly.
After thinking about it, Scarlet Flame Monarch nodded and said, "Ok, let"s leave."
The group thus started leaving quickly. As for Purple Lightning Marquis and Xiang Yangzhan, they could finally fight without any inhibitions. They bombarded the Di Clan with countless attacks.
The city might be protected by a G.o.d-grade formation, but the two were still able to kill some people with only the shockwaves of their attacks. The deaths filled Di Nian with regret for making Di Batian self-detonate, infuriating Xiang Yangzhan and Purple Lightning Marquis.
Di Batian had sacrificed himself to injure Xiang Shaoyun"s clone. In a way, his death was worth it. However, if they had to pay the price of losing more of their clan members, it definitely wouldn"t be worthwhile at all.
Xiang Shaoyun could rapidly recover from any bodily injuries with his profundity of life, but that was not the case for his soul. It would take him some time to heal his soul.
Xiang Shaoyun"s group immediately returned to the Ziling Sect, and Xiang Yangzhan and Purple Lightning Marquis returned not long after.
Because Xiang Yangzhan and Purple Lightning Marquis were powerful Rebirth Realm cultivators, they could move at an unimaginable speed. It wouldn"t be an easy feat for the Di Clan to prevent them from leaving. Of course, the two wouldn"t have left so fast if they hadn"t sensed more Di Clan experts arriving.
The first thing Xiang Shaoyun did after returning was reinforcing the formations around the sect. He had to first upgrade the formations to prepare for the Di Clan"s reprisals.
As for Yu Caidie, she would probably return soon since she hadn"t been captured by the Di Clan.
News of the chaos Xiang Shaoyun had caused at the Di Clan spread rapidly throughout the Western Desert. The Di Clan definitely wouldn"t let the humiliation slide.
Back at the Ziling Sect, Lang Chen brought Xiang Shaoyun good news that Ge Yi had sent 100 additional wolf guards over to help him. The 100 new wolf guards were even stronger than the previous batch of wolf guards he received. Among them, three were G.o.ds, six were pseudo-G.o.ds, and the rest were Saints and Sovereigns.
There were 365 wolf guards in total, with 165 of them following Xiang Shaoyun. As for the remaining 200, only Ge Yi knew where they were. He would only send them over to Xiang Shaoyun when it was time to do so. That was his way of providing Xiang Shaoyun with a layer of protection and showing Xiang Shaoyun concern.
Xiang Shaoyun accepted all the new wolf guards unhesitatingly. About 20 of his original wolf guards had perished, but the surviving wolf guards had also improved greatly. The new wolf guards had arrived just in time to further strengthen the Ziling Sect"s foundations.
Of course, these wolf guards weren"t only sent over to serve as fighters. Ge Yi also hoped that Xiang Shaoyun would provide the wolfmen with a place to live and reproduce, which Xiang Shaoyun had learned from the letter his master had delivered to him through the wolf guards.
Xiang Shaoyun naturally wouldn"t have any issues with that. The Buried Monarch Mountain Range had plenty of s.p.a.ce. He could easily provide the wolf guards a place to live. In fact, he didn"t even need to do anything himself. The wolf guards had picked a mountain by themselves and had then settled down after chasing out the demonic beasts. The place wasn"t even too far from the Ziling Sect.
The only thing Xiang Shaoyun did was lay down a formation to protect their living s.p.a.ce and modify the area into a place better suited for cultivation. After he was finished, Yu Caidie returned. Sure enough, she had escaped the pseudo-G.o.d when they were on their way back to the Di Clan. She had been forced to release her sealed strength before she could force the pseudo-G.o.d off her and escape.
She had then returned to the Devil Domain"s entrance in the Dusk Dynasty only to learn that Xiang Shaoyun had returned to the Ziling Sect. She had thus returned to the sect. All the traveling was why she had returned late. With her return, Xiang Shaoyun"s worry receded. He was happy so long as she was safe.
