188 The Infinity Sect’s Plea For Help

If Changping’s situation was really that serious, then the others must have encountered many obstacles on the way.

Ye Xuan and the others were attacked by strange birds on their flying magic weapon. There might also be other demonic beasts harassing the other sects. Soon, the news from the city gate proved their guess.

One of the guards at the city gate hurried over and reported, “City Lord, you should come and take a look. Something big has happened.”

Seeing him so flustered, Yi Chengrui hurried over. Ye Xuan, Shen Changling, and the others looked at each other. One of them said, “Let’s go and see what’s going on. We might be able to help.”

Everyone climbed up the city wall and found that not far away, dust was rolling and yellow sand filled the sky. There seemed to be something. After taking a closer look, the small black dots in the front were shockingly human-like, and they were speeding toward the city gate.

Shen Changling couldn’t help but say, “That should be human. Hurry up and open the city gate to welcome them.”

Who would have thought that the guard would reveal a hesitant expression?

Yi Chengrui explained, “Daoist Shen, you might not know this. Some demonic beasts can disguise themselves as humans. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, we usually have to be more careful. After all, this city wall is our last defense.”

Hearing this, the people of the Sword Sect couldn’t help but be surprised. One of them asked, “What do you mean? Could it be that some of these demonic beasts have transformed?”

If it was a demonic beast that could take human form, it would be extremely powerful and they would not be able to deal with it.

Seeing that they had misunderstood, Yi Chengrui quickly shook his head. He said, “It’s not what you’re thinking. You’ll understand it later.”

When those people got closer, they could finally see clearly that they were in a sorry state. Their clothes were also tattered and their bodies were covered in wounds.

Shen Changling’s sharp eyes recognized them. He said, “These clothes look familiar. Aren’t they the disciples of the Infinity Sect?”

The people from the Sword Sect were even more surprised. One of them said, “I heard that the Infinity Sect also sent out many elites this time. I didn’t expect them to be in such a sorry state.”

The disciples had obviously noticed their presence and waved at them.

“Hurry up and open the gate, I know them. They’re from Jingdu,” Shen Changling urged.

The guards of the city didn’t dare to delay. As the gate opened, the people of the Infinity Sect filed in. However, more than a dozen disciples were left behind when the gate was closed.

“Wait a minute, there are still people who haven’t come in yet.”

“We don’t have enough time...”

The guard’s voice was filled with fear. Ye Xuan followed his gaze and saw several huge black shadows behind the disciples. They moved so fast like ghosts that they didn’t notice them at first.

“If we let them in, I’m afraid those demonic beasts will follow them in.”

Everyone finally understood why there was only yellow sand in the air earlier. This was all the dust that was kicked up by the demonic beasts’ running. There were probably many more demonic beasts behind them.

These demonic beasts were almost the size of a tiger, but their fur was extremely black, covered with mottled patterns, and their eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light. One look and people could tell that these creatures were not friendly.

The people from the Infinity Sect were anxious. One of them said, “No, we have to save them. They fell behind to protect us. We can’t just leave them to die.”

The city guards and Yi Chengrui suddenly showed an embarrassed look.

“It’s not that we don’t want to save them, but looking at the speed of these demonic beasts, if the city gate is opened, it’s very likely that they will also run in. At that time, if they wander around the city, the innocent would be hurt easily.”

Compared to the disciples who were stationed near the spirit stone mines, the people in the city did not have strong cultivation. Moreover, they were facing so many demonic beasts.

Seeing that the situation was dangerous, two shadows jumped down from the city wall. It was Ye Xuan and Shen Changling.

The Sword Sect disciples became nervous and they said in unison, “Elder Ye! Senior Brother Shen!”

The dozen or so disciples of the Infinity Sect didn’t know if it was because they were exhausted or because they were injured, but their footsteps slowed down. They sensed the foul wind behind them, and the demonic beasts had already caught up.

At this critical moment...

Just as the demonic beast was about to bite his neck, warm blood splattered on his body. He touched the stinky liquid and opened his eyes in a daze.

Ye Xuan descended from the sky like a god.

The disciples of the Infinity Sect recognized Ye Xuan and said gratefully, “M-many thanks.”

He didn’t even see how Ye Xuan attacked. He had long heard of Ye Xuan’s name, but he didn’t expect Ye Xuan to be even more unfathomable.

Shen Changling, who was at the side, did not back down. A sharp sword Qi flashed in the air and killed a few demonic beasts in an instant.

“You guys hurry up and move. We’ll cover you guys.”

Ye Xuan kicked away the demonic beasts that pounced over and said to the people behind him.

More than a dozen disciples of the Infinity Sect supported each other. With the addition of Ye Xuan and Shen Changling, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The city gate behind them opened a crack, and the disciples of the Sword Sect and the Infinity Sect also helped to save the people.

However, more and more demonic beasts were gathering around Ye Xuan and Shen Changling, and the yellow sand not far away was also gradually approaching, which meant that there was still an endless stream of demonic beasts behind them.

If this continued, they would be surrounded. Even if the two of them were powerful, it would be impossible for them to deal with so many of them.

Ye Xuan realized that the situation was not right and quickly told Shen Changling, “Let’s hurry up and retreat. When the time comes, there will be too many demonic beasts. It will become too troublesome then.”

The two of them had a tacit understanding to leave their backs to each other and retreated towards the city gate together. There were demonic beasts eyeing them covetously from all directions. After killing more than a dozen demonic beasts that pounced on them, Ye Xuan and Shen Changling found an opening and entered the city gate.

After they entered, Yi Chengrui quickly ordered, “Hurry, hurry up and close the city gate.”
