Chapter 949: Lu Xiu's Decision

As the great battle continued.

The pressure on Wan Guiyuan and Jiuyou grew greater and greater, and the injuries on their bodies became increasingly severe.

Finally.

Wan Guiyuan seemed unable to hold on any longer.

"If this continues, we will be defeated sooner or later; we cannot keep fighting!"

"Think of a way to escape immediately."

Hearing Wan Guiyuan's telepathic transmission, Yuwei, Lu Xiu, and Jiuyou responded simultaneously, "Understood."

Afterward, the four of them erupted with power at the same time, striking with all their might to beat back the enemy.

Taking the opportunity, they fled together toward the distance.

Just as the four of them flew out.

The Great Star Envoy seemed to have been prepared, ignoring the fleeing Lu Xiu, and instead shifted her gaze to land on Yuwei.

"Star Chain!"

As her cold, clear voice rang out.

A profound and mysterious rune mark lit up on Yuwei's body.

Immediately.

It was as if an invisible chain had been bound to her body, and a tremendous force surged along the chain.

Caught off guard.

Her fleeing figure stalled, and then, pulled by this force, she flew backward.

Yuwei's expression was one of shock.

A mark had actually been planted on her.

Could it have been when she was being besieged just now?

She had failed to notice it!

"Concentrate your power, kill her first!"

From beneath the Great Star Envoy's silver mask, an ethereal and cold voice emerged.

She then attacked Yuwei alongside the nearby Nangong Yu.

Now, the two of them were no longer hiding their strength in the slightest.

Although it was only the two of them joining forces, it was no weaker than the previous four-person alliance.

Even though Yuwei defended with all her might, she was still wounded, and blood spilled from the corner of her lips.

However.

The two's attacks had just passed.

The attacks of Ye Lingyun, Jiang Xuan, and Xiao Keke followed immediately after.

Yuwei's Spiritual Power had just been scattered and was in a state of turbulence; she could not gather it, nor did she have time to dodge.

She could only watch helplessly as the three attacks arrived.

Boom~

A roaring sound erupted, and the violent power engulfed Yuwei's slender figure.

A moment later.

The violent power dissipated.

Yuwei appeared from the center of the raging power, and before her, a figure had appeared out of nowhere.

*Cough, cough*~

Wan Guiyuan coughed, and a trickle of blood spilled from his mouth.

"Daoist Friend Wan!"

Seeing this scene, Yuwei hurriedly stepped forward to support Wan Guiyuan, her pretty face full of concern and worry, "Are you alright?"

Wan Guiyuan knew that now was not the time to linger on Yuwei's extraordinary bosom.

He broke free from Yuwei's embrace, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and shook his head, "Do not worry, Fairy Yuwei, I am fine."

As he spoke, he grabbed Yuwei's palm, circulated his Spiritual Power, and flung her toward Lu Xiu and the others in the distance.

"You go first, I will hold them off."

"Daoist Friend Wan!"

Yuwei's body flew uncontrollably into the distance, and as she looked at Wan Guiyuan, her eyes turned red.

Back when Wan Guiyuan had risked his own safety to infiltrate Wenxian City in order to minimize the losses of the ordinary team members, she had already perceived his noble character.

Now~

She felt that she had still underestimated Daoist Friend Wan's character.

No matter what, she had once stood on the same side as Cao Tian and the others, implementing measures detrimental to Wan Guiyuan.

She had not expected that Daoist Friend Wan would not only be able to set aside past grievances to save her, but even be willing to risk his life to cover their retreat and trade for her survival.

Such a heart was not something just anyone could possess.

His character was truly too outstanding!

At this moment.

In her eyes, Wan Guiyuan radiated a dazzling light.

He was like a deity.

When she had flown a thousand feet away, she finally regained control of her body.

Without a second thought, she turned to go back and rescue Wan Guiyuan.

However, at this very moment.

Lu Xiu suddenly blocked her, "Fairy Yuwei, let us retreat first; do you intend to let Senior Brother risk his life in vain?"

Yuwei's expression faltered, she bit her red lips tightly, and nodded with difficulty, "Alright."

Having said that, she and Lu Xiu flew away together toward the distance.

Before leaving, Lu Xiu called out to Jiuyou, "Fairy Jiuyou, leave this place quickly."

Upon hearing this, Jiuyou looked at Wan Guiyuan with worry, hesitated for a moment, and then followed them in flight.

In the process of fleeing, their attention remained fixed on the battlefield behind them.

From afar, they saw...

Ye Lingyun and the other four were already locked in battle with Wan Guiyuan.

Wan Guiyuan was bathed in blood, disregarding his own life, desperately trying to hold them back.

Jiuyou's eyes trembled, her red lips bitten tight.

A layer of crystalline tears had already welled up in Yuwei's eyes.

"Do not look back, or Senior Brother's efforts will be in vain!"

Amidst Lu Xiu's urging.

The two ultimately did not slow their speed.

As they continued to move further away, the scene of the battlefield gradually blurred until it disappeared...

After flying forward for several dozen more miles.

Lu Xiu suddenly stopped and turned back.

"I am going to help Senior Brother."

"I am going too."

Having already been unable to hold back, Yuwei and Jiuyou heard this and turned around without hesitation, immediately following.

"No, you cannot go."

Lu Xiu shook his head with a calm expression, "Cao Tian and Xuan Che harbor great hostility toward Senior Brother; both of them should have already fled the Outer Realm Battlefield by now."

"Whether to deal with Senior Brother or to shirk responsibility, they will certainly do their utmost to smear Senior Brother's name."

"If all of us are left here, who will speak in Senior Brother's defense?"

"Therefore, someone among us must return alive."

"If I cannot save Senior Brother, I must rely on you to restore Senior Brother's innocence."

"I do not wish for anyone to cast the slightest smear upon Senior Brother!"

Jiuyou and Yuwei were stunned upon hearing this.

Immediately after, Yuwei said with a firm expression, "Daoist Friend Wan fell into danger to save me; I will go save him, you and Fairy Jiuyou leave."

Lu Xiu shook his head, "Although I have some strength, I have no backing within the Beast Taming Sect, my influence is limited, and the Beast Taming Sect is nothing much when looking across the Eight Continents."

"If Cao Tian and Xuan Che tarnish Senior Brother's reputation, even if I refute it, it may not necessarily be effective."

"The Ancient God Palace is different; you are the number one genius of the Ancient God Palace, your influence is far greater than mine, so you must leave."

Yuwei was stunned once more.

Lu Xiu's reasoning left her unable to refute, and she nodded in silence.

"I also don't have much influence."

"It would be better if..."

Just then, Jiuyou wanted to say something, but Lu Xiu shook his head, cutting off her words, "Your strength is insufficient."

Upon hearing this, Jiuyou fell silent.

Lu Xiu's words were very disheartening.

All this time, she had been called a Monster and a genius by everyone.

Even when looking at all the geniuses across the Eight Continents, she could be ranked at the top.

But at this moment, she had no way to refute it.

Looking across the Eight Continents, there are not many Cultivators of the same level who can defeat her.

But they are almost all gathered here!

Here, she is indeed the weakest one!
