Chapter 940: Another Post-War Summary

Above a stretch of wilderness.

Five figures were suspended in the air, divided into two sides, confronting each other.

One side consisted of three people.

One had golden hair and a golden dress, one had silver hair and a silver dress with a silver mask, and one had a delicate appearance, as if she could be squeezed to produce water.

The other side consisted of two people.

One wore an Asura Mask, and one had a slender figure and a beautiful face; they were Jiu You and Lu Xiu.

"We are clearly in a hostile relationship with you, why help us!"

On the face beneath Jiu You's mask, the expression was solemn.

Her gaze, brimming with vigilance, swept over the three slender figures opposite her.

Her heart could not help but feel a surge of astonishment.

Ever since Lu Xiu killed Qingshui, and Xuan Che and Cao Tian fled.

She and Lu Xiu had begun to rescue those Sacred Palace and Beast Taming Sect Disciples who were being hunted down.

During this period.

They were surprised to discover.

There was another group of people rescuing Sacred Palace and Beast Taming Sect Disciples.

After some observation, they discovered that these people actually came from Wenxian City.

Although Outside the Realm and Wenxian City were in a hostile relationship.

But now.

They had split from the Outside the Realm team, and both sides were in a great battle.

Being on the weaker side, they and Wenxian City could temporarily be considered to be standing in the same trench.

Therefore, after discovering the Wenxian City Cultivators, Jiu You and Lu Xiu did not choose to attack them, but instead, as if by tacit agreement, joined forces to resist the pursuers.

Until a short while ago.

The five hundred Cultivators brought by Cao Tian, Xuan Che, and Qingshui had been almost entirely slaughtered.

The remaining Cultivators of the Sacred Palace and Beast Taming Sect were saved.

The three women before them had suddenly sought them out.

Hearing Jiu You's puzzled tone, an ethereal and pleasant voice came from beneath the Great Star Envoy's silver mask.

"There are no eternal enemies in this world."

"Although you are Out-of-Boundary Cultivators, are you not currently in a hostile state with the other group of Out-of-Boundary Cultivators?"

"You want to protect yourselves, and we also want to protect ourselves, and the target threatening us is the same one; is this not enough?"

Jiu You heard this, her gaze flickering, "Then you came to find us this time, for..."

"An alliance."

The Great Star Envoy did not beat around the bush at all, saying it straight.

Jiu You shook her head, "Although we have turned against the main force, we come from Outside the Realm after all. If we ally with you, how can we return Outside the Realm? How can we face Outside the Realm?"

The Great Star Envoy's tone remained indifferent, "If you agree to the alliance, I can have the Wenxian City City Lord spare Wan Guiyuan."

Once these words were spoken.

The pupils of Jiu You and "Lu Xiu" shrank simultaneously.

"Senior Brother Wan has already fallen into your hands?" Lu Xiu said with a somewhat ugly expression.

The Great Star Envoy did not directly answer Lu Xiu's question, "What do you think of this deal?"

"Fine, we agree."

Jiu You nodded and agreed almost without hesitation.

After speaking, she was silent for a moment before continuing, "However, Fairy Lu and I can only represent ourselves."

"As for whether we can persuade the companions of the Sacred Palace and Beast Taming Sect, we will have to try to know."

The Great Star Envoy shook her head and said indifferently, "No need to persuade them; you only need to agree, and we have our own ways to make them contribute."

The place where the main force of the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators was stationed.

Ever since Cao Tian and the others left, Yuwei had been frowning.

She felt that Cao Tian and the others had gone too far.

Daoist Friend Wan was willing to place himself in danger in order to take down Wenxian City and reduce casualties among the ordinary team members.

Such a noble cultivator should be helped to escape, not placed in an unfavorable situation, and certainly should not have been hunted down for the sake of so-called safety and stability, especially when they were loyal companions.

However, she was only one person after all, and her influence was limited.

Coupled with a personality that was not assertive.

Although unwilling, she could not change anything.

"I hope Daoist Friend Wan can be blessed with good fortune."

She sighed.

Just at this moment.

In the distance, a sound of breaking through the air arrived.

Her expression stirred, and she looked over.

Immediately, she discovered two figures, a man and a woman.

Xuan Che, Kong Yu?

Just at this moment.

Further away, she sensed another aura.

Cao Tian is here too?

How did the three of them come back?

Just as a look of doubt appeared on her face, Xuan Che and Kong Yu had already flown over and landed beside her.

Not long after, Cao Tian also landed.

"Senior Brother Cao, you all~"

Seeing the expressions on the three people's faces, a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in Yuwei's heart.

Cao Tian sighed, "The operation failed. Aside from the three of us, everyone else has likely perished!"

As soon as Cao Tian spoke.

Everyone's eyes trembled violently, and this space fell into a deathly silence.

A moment later.

An uproar erupted, and looks of disbelief appeared on everyone's faces.

After another while.

Yuwei took a deep breath and looked at Cao Tian, "With your strength, it shouldn't have ended like this. Did some unforeseen event occur?"

Cao Tian sighed, "Originally, Xuan Che, Qingshui, and I had joined forces and were about to take down Jiuyou, but at that critical moment, Lu Xiu appeared..."

"Lu Xiu's strength exceeded our expectations. Even with the three of us working together, we couldn't defeat her, and Daoist Friend Qingshui even perished at her hands!"

Hearing Cao Tian's response.

The uproar all around instantly grew several degrees louder.

After the last failed pursuit, everyone already had a new understanding of Lu Xiu's strength.

They hadn't expected that they had still underestimated her.

Three Leader Stage cultivators joining forces couldn't even defeat her!

This strength was simply too terrifying!

Even Yuwei, upon hearing Cao Tian's words, could not help but show a look of surprise.

Following that, she sighed, "We were wrong from the very beginning."

"We should have waited for Daoist Friend Wan to flee Wenxian City before launching a full-scale attack on Wenxian City; there was no need to push things to this point with Jiuyou and the others."

"Junior Sister Yuwei, it is too late to say these things now."

Cao Tian shook his head, "Since matters have already developed to this point, we can no longer reconcile with Jiuyou and the others."

"The only plan now is for you, Junior Sister, to take action personally; only then is it possible to defeat Lu Xiu."

"I suggest we mobilize our entire force to wipe out Jiuyou and the others in one fell swoop, and then immediately attack Wenxian City."

Yuwei frowned, "If we don't try, how do we know we can't reconcile with Jiuyou and the others?"

Cao Tian shook his head, "Junior Sister Yuwei, we have already discussed this matter."

"Even if we reconcile temporarily, once Wan Guiyuan is captured, Jiuyou and the others could become a ticking time bomb by our side at any moment."

"Given our current situation, we cannot tolerate any mishaps; even if there is only the slightest possibility, it must be nipped in the bud."

Yuwei's expression froze.

Although she wanted to say something more, she was not good with words, and her red lips parted and closed several times, but no sound came out.

Just then, Xuan Che suddenly spoke, "Fairy Yuwei, there is another reason why this pursuit of Jiuyou and the others failed."

Yuwei was startled.

Xuan Che said, "The interference of the cultivators from Wenxian City."

"According to the voice transmissions of some team members before they died, Wenxian City seemed to have sensed our operation and took the initiative to strike, catching us off guard while we were pursuing Jiuyou and the others."

"If not for the interference of Wenxian City, this mission of ours might not have failed."
