The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 27 - The ambush
After leaving the Ice City, Elder Dongnan headed straight south while quietly flying at high speed.
As the outer elder of the Demon Angel Sect, one of the top sects, countless cultivators would be frightened with just a single mention of Sect Master Xie's name.
If this was an ordinary day, Elder Dongnan could step across the country that existed in the Han empire without fear. Only a fool would make a move against him and offend the Demon Angel Sect.
But this time it's different. With the Golden Core Dao Fruit he possessed, he could not be certain that some desperate old demon would kill him and snatch the treasure in the darkness.
As a result, Elder Dongnan could not afford to not be careful. He activated the demonic defense talisman that he had stored for many years.
Although there were actually some people who wanted to make a move against him, but because of his demonic talisman, they were unable to find his whereabouts.
Elder Dongnan had scattered many of the Tracking Rats outside the Ice City hiding in the snow-covered mountains. These Tracking Rats would tell Elder Dongnan through special senses whenever there were cultivators they saw.
At first, no one could trace its location.
But lately many tracking mice suddenly make a lot of noise.
This caused Elder Dongnan's heart to become heavy. He knew there were people watching him intensely, but he did not know whereabouts and who was chasing after him.
To be able to cause so many Tracking Rats to warn him at the same time, the pursuers had to be numerous, and they clearly came with readiness.
"Hmph, I don't think that despite all my caution, I will still be a target."
Previously, Elder Dongnan did not dare to send out his spirit senses for fear of being discovered. However, once he confirmed that there was a pursuer, he immediately spread his spirit senses, wanting to see the people following him.
As soon as he saw, cold sweat started flowing from him.
Not far behind him were nearly a thousand fully armed cultivators riding strange beasts while carrying weapons, chasing after him with killing intent.
"How do they know my location!" Prattling
Elder Dongnan was terrified. He realized that his own strength could not withstand the attacks of a thousand cultivators.
"If I'm not mistaken, behind me are really well-trained troops, and it seems that they have a commander in the realm of the Harmonious Spirit Realm. It would be dangerous if they found me."
"They are the troops from the Ice City, I'm sure of this! I'm not wrong, it's the epitome of the ice motif. I must quickly bring the Dao Fruit back to the sect and not cause any problems for you guys, yet you must create trouble for me first! If I don't die, I will return to the sect and beg our Golden Core realm Elders to destroy your Ice City!"
Elder Dongnan cursed in his mind and quickened his feet. He even constantly changed directions and tried his best to break away from the pursuit of these troops.
However, it was a pity that this troop seemed to be able to lock it down and get closer. After the time it took to burn the incense, he could clearly hear the rumbling and the sound of the armored troops coming towards him.
"Not good, they're catching up with me"
Elder Dongnan wailed and felt a chill as his terrified soul escaped from his body.
An extremely powerful sword energy without warning slashed down from the sky. It emitted countless sword blades, which resembled flying locusts or meteor showers all cutting towards Elder Dongnan.
Elder Dongnan was forced out of his hiding place and coughed fresh blood out from his mouth as he raised his head which looked to be filled with an unpleasant taste.
Above the sky, there were two Harmonious Spirit Realm realm experts stopping above him. Elder Dongnan recognized them. They were the Ice City Guard Commanders and Sword Force Commanders.
He had seen Commander Chu Yai who looked honest and unwilling to know a few times and had never placed it in his eyes. But this time, he saw Chu Yai hovering in midair, with a grin on her red face. His cultivation had even broken through to the realm of the Intermediate level Harmonious Spirit Realm.
"No way! I know that this Chu Yai, with her cowardly personality. How could he advance to the realm of the medium-level Harmonic Spirit Realm?!"
Then, he glanced at the other person next to Chu Yai and became startled!
Commander Fang Dan! This person, when did he break through to the Late Harmonic Spirit realm! Was he the one who slashed the sword at me just now?
"Impossible, when did this person manage to reach the Late Harmonious Spirit realm!"
Elder Dongnan's expression changed. Previously, she had hoped that luck could escape them, but at this moment when seeing Chu Yai together with Fang Dan, she finally realized that, today, today, she was, he may face his death here.
With his own strength, he was clearly no match for the thousand troops that were together with the two Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivators, and there was one at the Late stage.
"Hmph! Incredible prestige of the Ice City. Using their thousand troops to deal with this old man, was incredible!
Chu Yai did not care about Elder Dongnan speaking while Fang Dan only listened to him.
Then he impatiently said, "Don't worry! To handle trash like you, there is no need to use so many people. Our Young Master alone is enough to kill you!"
"Young Master?!"
Elder Dongnan felt something and suddenly looked back. He saw that there was a young man riding a strange beast, blocking his way in front.
It was a white-robed young man with a slight black bwr shade. She had a clear and elegant demeanor, but her expression was cold, giving others a feeling of her face that was like a lack of emotion.
"It's you! This situation, you've prepared it during the auction, right!?"
Elder Dongnan is not stupid. He recalled that before the auction started, Qing Shan walked next to him on the second floor as if nothing had happened.
After thinking about it a little, this person most likely did something to him back then. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be followed by so many people even after using the devil talisman.
"Yes, maybe it's true!"
Qing Shan's expression looked cold as he replied. This old man intended to kidnap Ling Yun and even come to the borders of the Ice City to threaten him. No matter the reason, he had to make this fellow pay a heavy price.
"Hmph, only a cultivator is at the small Vein Opening realm, yet you still dare to speak arrogantly towards this old man!"
Elder Dongnan casually said with a smile. He was afraid of Chu Yai and Fang Dan, the two Harmonious Spirit Realm realm commanders, and the bloodthirsty army of cultivators, but he felt no fear for this young and foolish boy, Qing Shan's.
Qing Shan did not care about Elder Dongnan as he descended from his strange beast. This time was different from when he was presiding over the auction; he currently had a storage pouch. Clearly, before arriving, he had already prepared many secret attack equipment from Chu Yai and Fang Dan.
