Chapter 1470: Dragging It Out

One Great Emperor Elder said to the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master, "We've already wasted a lot of time here; if we keep dragging this out, who knows where that bunch has fled to."

This time, Qi Xiong has issued a death order; no matter what, we cannot let that group escape.

However, upon hearing the Great Elder's words, the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master still had no intention of leaving.

He scanned the surroundings with his gaze, spread out his divine sense; although he still found no flaw, his intuition told him something was off here.

Seeing the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master like that, within the space constructed by the Concealment Void Talisman, Zhang Zhanglao's face grew grim to the extreme.

Although he was confident they hadn't been detected, he unconsciously felt as if even his breathing had become much shallower.

"What's wrong with you? Hurry up and go!"

On the Dao Yi Shengdi side, seeing the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master remain motionless, the Great Emperor Elder who had spoken earlier urged again.

How long have we been delayed?

However, the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master pondered briefly and then said.

"I always feel something's off here. You go ahead; I'll bring some people to stay behind and guard."

Huh???

As soon as those words were spoken, Zhang Zhanglao and the others hidden in the independent space before the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master were dumbfounded.

You haven't found any flaw, yet because your intuition feels off, you want to stay and guard?

For a moment, Zhang Zhanglao and the others felt their hearts leap to their throats.

They kept praying in their hearts, but the next second, the Great Emperor Elder's answer left them utterly hopeless.

Seeing the Great Emperor Elder hear the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master's words, although he likewise couldn't understand, after a brief ponder he still nodded and said.

"Alright, then I'll lead people to catch up first."

"Hmm."

Immediately, that Great Emperor Elder, together with another Great Emperor, led half the people onward in pursuit.

The remaining half stayed behind with the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master.

Seeing the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master actually remain in place, Zhang Zhanglao and the others were stunned for a moment.

What the heck is wrong with this person? Why not chase them, what's the point of guarding here? Are you really just going to waste time with them?

"What's this old guy's deal?"

Even the young man in fine robes at this moment furrowed his brows and said.

The Emperor-level Concealment Void Talisman is indeed his lifesaving treasure, his confidence, but using it also comes with a time limit.

Once the time is exceeded, the Talisman Seal's power will be exhausted, and they will naturally reveal their forms, at which point they will surely be discovered.

The young man also grew a bit anxious, but there was nothing he could do; if the old guy won't leave, what can they do?

The Yuzhu Feng Peak Master obviously had patience; even if he sensed nothing amiss, he still patiently remained in place.

He clearly looks like he's intending to waste time.

As time passed second by second, seeing that the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master still had no intention of leaving, Zhang Zhanglao and the others began to feel restless.

"It's already been one Shíchén, and he still won't leave?"

"If we keep going like this, the Emperor-level Concealment Void Talisman won't hold up."

The Concealment Void Talisman lasts only two Shíchén; adding the previous time, it's already over one Shíchén, not far from the two-Shíchén limit.

Yet the opponent is still standing guard here, having stubbornly held the position for a full Shíchén—what are they doing?

The longer the time drags on, the weaker the Concealment Void Talisman's power becomes, and Zhang Zhanglao and the others grow increasingly frantic.

Seeing the Concealment Void Talisman's power dwindle, Zhang Zhanglao also knew they could no longer just sit and wait for death.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he fixed his stare on the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master and the others.

"The Concealment Void Talisman is about to fail; seize the moment and charge straight out, hit them off guard, find a chance to break through."

Just waiting will definitely not work; once our whereabouts are exposed, we'll end up at a disadvantage.

The only option now is to strike first; seize the moment when the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master and his group are unprepared to launch a sudden attack, which is the only way to seize a slim chance of survival.

Calculating the time, just as the Concealment Void Talisman's power was about to run out, Zhang Zhanglao suddenly let out a low shout.

"Attack."

He immediately led the charge forward.

In the originally empty mountain forest, suddenly, right in front of the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master less than three meters away, Zhang Zhanglao and the others appeared out of thin air.

Without any warning, upon appearing they wasted no words and launched directly an attack on the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master.

However, facing the sudden attack from Zhang Zhanglao and the others, the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master seemed not at all surprised.

He immediately retaliated; upon seeing this, Zhang Zhanglao's face turned extremely grim.

Even their sneak attack failed; the opponent had clearly been on guard all along, and they did not succeed.

"They really are hiding here."

"Cut the chatter, attack and contact the others."

The other strong cultivators and disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi who followed the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master also remained vigilant, so they snapped to attention the moment Zhang Zhanglao and the others appeared, without any panic.

They almost got away; if it weren't for the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master insisting on staying, these guys might truly have escaped death.

But now, they have no chance.

Although we don't know what method Zhang Zhanglao and the others used earlier, it allowed everyone to remain completely unaware.

But now that our whereabouts have been exposed, trying to hide again is no easy feat.

The Yuzhu Feng Peak Master and Zhang Zhanglao immediately went into battle.

On either side of the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master, two spirit beasts roared as they charged toward Zhang Zhanglao.

In terms of personal combat strength, the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master might be inferior to Zhang Zhanglao, but those two spirit beasts both possess Emperor-level cultivation.

That is truly what makes beast cultivators fearsome.

Facing the siege of two spirit pets, Zhang Zhanglao's expression turned grim, his teeth involuntarily grinding with a click-click sound.

Now things have gotten complicated, ah; the Concealment Space Talisman has already been used, yet we still couldn't escape.

Now wanting to break free is no longer that easy.

After a round of battle, having determined that he lacked confidence to quickly take down the Yuzhu Feng Peak Master, Zhang Zhanglao decisively made a decision.

"Take the Young Sect Master and leave first."

At this moment, Zhang Zhanglao chose to protect the young man in fine robes.

They could not possibly all leave safely; they could only try to safeguard the young man in fine robes, hoping he could leave this realm unharmed.

Otherwise, if captured, the fate would be obvious; the enemy's pursuit is so frenzy, showing the gravity of this matter.

Upon hearing Zhang Zhanglao's words, the two Cultivation: Great Saints began to escort the young man in fine robes in a breakout.

And the youth had not spoken a word from start to finish; at this moment his eyes were filled with fear and anger.

Having been pampered since childhood, when did he fall to such a state; these bastards really deserve to die.

Once he escapes, he will surely not let this realm go.

As for Zhang Zhanglao's life or death, the youth had not considered it at all; clearly the matter was caused by him, yet now Zhang Zhanglao, in order to save him, chose to cover the rear, placing himself in danger.

But in the youth's view, all this is what he should do; this is his duty and obligation.
