Chapter 1591: Pursuers

"Fellow Daoists, this magic array leads directly into the secret passage. I shall go first." The alien of the Yuan surname smiled, raised his hand, and struck a magic art onto the teleportation array below.

The array flashed with white light, and the alien's figure blurred before vanishing from the array without a trace.

Only the divine statue puppet remained, standing blankly in its original spot without moving an inch.

"Brother Yuan truly has a whimsical mind, actually setting a teleportation array inside a puppet." The green-skinned alien laughed, took a large stride to follow, and similarly raised a hand to activate the array, being teleported away as well.

"Brother Han, please go first." The alien in the red light swept his gaze over Han Li before offering a polite gesture.

Han Li was somewhat surprised by this, but he nodded without revealing the slightest change in expression and flickered forward.

The teleportation was extremely fast! Han Li did not even feel any discomfort before he suddenly appeared in a dim cavern.

Looking left and right, the cavern was not large, only about ten-odd zhang, but a glowing crystal hung from the ceiling, illuminating everything in the area clearly.

On one side of the cavern wall, there was a square passage, a zhang high, that had already been excavated.

The big-headed alien and the green-skinned alien were standing to one side. The big-headed one was looking at a magic compass in his hand with a solemn expression, his eyes flickering as if he were pondering something.

Han Li moved and stepped out of the teleportation array. A moment later, white light rose again in the array, and the alien in the red light appeared.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the big-headed man raised his head and smiled at them. Just as he was about to speak, a muffled sound suddenly came from all directions, and the entire cavern shook slightly.

The expressions of everyone in the cavern changed slightly.

"Don't waste time, let's leave this place quickly. I'm afraid the city's protective barrier won't last much longer," the green-skinned alien said anxiously.

"Mm, it's about time. I will open the restrictions at the four city gates and let the others escape first."

The big-headed man nodded with a solemn expression, suddenly tossing the magic disc in his hand into the air, and his two hands began to pinch out incantations rapidly.

Magic arts of various colors flashed and vanished into the magic compass.

A moment later, the magic compass emitted a low hum, strange light flowed across its surface, and finally, with a "bang," it collapsed and vanished.

This scene made the other three freeze simultaneously.

Self-destructing a control magic tool—this seemed to be more than just simple removal of restrictions.

"I have already activated a self-destruct magic array beneath Green Light City. In one hour, the entire city will be reduced to ashes." The big-headed man seemed to see the suspicion of the three and chuckled.

"A self-destruct magic array!" Hearing this, Han Li felt a chill in his heart.

This person was truly ruthless!

Although most people had gone to the four gates to escape, there were certainly many ordinary mortals and some cultivators hidden in the city who hadn't left.

In this way, they were all being buried along with Green Light City.

The other two aliens looked at each other in surprise upon hearing this.

But none of the three had time to say anything, because while the big-headed man was speaking, his escape light rose, turning into a yellow streak of light that shot toward the passage entrance.

Han Li and the others naturally followed suit immediately.

At this moment, above the surface, at the city gates facing several directions, the light curtain that originally covered the entire city suddenly revealed a large hole, a hundred zhang in diameter, above each gate.

The countless aliens who had long gathered at the gates immediately turned into countless rays of light and shot out, flashing like meteors as they fled the city in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, some escape lights sank into the ground and vanished without a trace. Others rolled onto the grass, their figures similarly hidden.

These were aliens proficient in earth and wood escape arts!

But most people drove various flying objects under them, flying wildly away at low altitude.

Almost everyone seemed to have agreed beforehand, most of them splitting up in a fan shape to escape, not gathering together.

At this time, the high-level members of the Jiao Chi race on the silver "island" high above the city clearly discovered that the people in the city were fleeing. Immediately, silver light flickered on the surface of the giant island, and giant white two-headed eagles suddenly flew out from above.

These giant eagles not only had two heads and were three or four zhang in size, but they were also covered in a layer of simple white battle armor, and their giant claws were fitted with metallic finger guards, which were extremely sharp and flashed with astonishing cold light.

There were over a thousand of these giant eagles. As soon as they flew out of the giant island, they flapped their wings wildly and pounced toward the fleeing Green Light City aliens below. Each one was incredibly fast, no less than an ordinary Core Formation stage cultivator.

And just as these giant eagles finished flying out, spiritual light still flickered on the giant island, and a large batch of things flew out again.

But the things that flew out this time were black dugout canoes, each no more than ten zhang long.

These dugout canoes were ten zhang long, engraved with pitch-black runes, and sat upon by several armored soldiers in silver battle armor, no fewer than three to five.

Over a hundred of these black "dugout canoes" flew out in one breath. Their escape speed was slightly lower than those giant eagles, but with a flash, they could cross a distance of several hundred zhang. Their speed was still faster than the vast majority of the aliens' flying escape speed below.

After the two waves of Jiao Chi race pursuers flew out, the giant island was calm for a moment, but soon after, several dragon roars came from the island, and seven or eight giant figures suddenly flew out from the island.

These things were each several dozen zhang long, with a pair of five-colored wings on their backs.

Looking closely, they were actually winged dragon-like fierce beasts!

Except for the exceptionally beautiful pair of feathered wings, the winged dragons were golden and shining, indistinguishable from ordinary dragons.

As soon as they flew out of the island, their huge bodies flickered, and their figures blurred and vanished in the air.

The next moment, these winged golden dragons appeared thirty or forty zhang away, their escape speed astonishing.

After these three waves of pursuers flew out from the giant island one after another, the fleeing aliens in the distance became extremely panicked, fleeing desperately toward the distance.

However, although there were tens of thousands of these aliens, their cultivation bases were uneven. Those with higher cultivation had already escaped dozens of miles away, leaving only small black dots, while those with the worst cultivation had only flown ten-odd miles away from Green Light City.

And these people, who were the most numerous, were caught up by the two-headed giant eagles in almost an instant.

These giant eagles dived down one by one, bringing gusts of wind to the low altitude. Their pairs of claws, fitted with sharp finger guards, easily pierced the protective spiritual light and some low-tier defensive magic tools of these low-tier aliens, fiercely grabbing their heads and shoulders, then tearing them apart or throwing them into the air.

Some of these aliens were torn into two pieces instantly, blood spilling all over the ground; others were uncontrollably thrown to a high place, where they were swarmed by several other giant eagles that had been waiting, their bodies instantly gaining three or four bloody holes, thus meeting their end as well.

Of course, some aliens were unwilling to wait for death, many gathering together, releasing magic tools or performing secret arts, and immediately, attacks of various colors densely struck the diving giant eagles.

However, the power of these people's attacks was too low, and the white battle armor worn by those giant eagles was surprisingly strong in defense.

Except for a dozen or so that were hit in vital spots by surprise and fell from the air, the rest of the attacks hit the giant eagles and were blocked by layers of white light rising from the battle armor.

These giant eagles, however, seemed to be enraged by these attacks, emitting sharp cries, diving down again, and launching even more ferocious attacks.

In the blink of an eye, another series of screams erupted, and hundreds of bloody corpses were added to the ground.

At this time, the black dugout canoes behind also flew over from the air.

Seeing the armored soldiers standing on them, as they waved their various weapons, silver light shot down from the air. Anyone hit was torn limb from limb, unable to resist at all.

But fortunately, these armored soldiers did not seem to have any intention of spending much effort on these low-tier existences. The black dugout canoes flashed one after another, sweeping past the low altitude to pursue the higher-cultivation aliens in front.

As for the last few strange dragons that flew out, they did not stop for a moment from the beginning, chasing the highest-cultivation aliens in the front at high altitude.

With their escape speed, it would only take a moment to catch up to those high-tier aliens.

For a time, with Green Light City as the center, a great battle of pursuit and counter-pursuit began!

At the same time, in a valley of a nameless small mountain ten-odd miles away from Green Light City, a stone wall that looked ordinary suddenly flashed with green light, emitting a muffled sound as it burst open.

And after the explosion, a pitch-black hole suddenly appeared on the stone wall.

Following this, "whoosh whoosh" sounds came from the hole, and several rays of light shot out from within. After circling, the escape lights converged, revealing four people of different appearances.

It was Han Li and the others!

Although because this place was extremely remote and not in the direction of the city gates, no Jiao Chi race pursuers had appeared yet, the big-headed man and the others still looked cautious, hurriedly sweeping their spiritual sense nearby before immediately withdrawing it.

"The Jiao Chi race people haven't appeared nearby, let's leave immediately. From here on, we will act separately and seek our own paths. If we stay together, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide from the Jiao Chi race's eyes and ears." The green-skinned alien looked happy and said first.

"Naturally. But before you fellow Daoists leave, I have one more thing to ask of you. I hope you fellow Daoists will not refuse!" The big-headed man nodded, swept his gaze over the other three, and after hesitating for a moment, suddenly said this.

"Help, what kind of help?" The alien in the red light was somewhat surprised.

Han Li and the green-skinned alien also looked strange.
