Chapter 910: Tense Rescue
When first clashing with the Undying Holy Land, the Dao Yi Shengdi also had no good solution.
It was impossible to completely suppress them as they had done against the Blood Refining Holy Land and the Withered Ghost Holy Land.
So when the fighting broke out, many disciples of the Dao Yi Shengdi were quite displeased.
This greatly affects efficiency; right now everyone is short on points, and if they can't gather enough points to order food later, they'll regret it to death.
Therefore, anyone who hinders the Dao Yi Shengdi disciples from earning points is an enemy.
On the Undying Race's side, their strategy of trading blows is still quite effective.
At least to a great extent it limited the Dao Yi Shengdi, causing the battle situation to return to balance.
However, this didn't let the Undying Race gain any advantage; at most it just meant they stopped suffering losses.
After a fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and then they withdrew one after another.
Having fought up to now, enduring countless battles big and small, the casualties of both the Human Race and the Undying Race are not light.
This is unavoidable; in war there are no immortals, and any war is cruel.
However, compared to the Undying Race, the Human Race's situation is clearly better, and this is all thanks to the Dao Yi Shengdi's successive victories over the Blood Refining Holy Land and the Withered Ghost Holy Land.
If the Dao Yi Shengdi had not successively defeated those two holy lands, the Human Race's casualties would probably not be much lower than those of the Undying Race.
"This battle was not bad; we finally managed to restrict that heretical Dao Yi Shengdi."
After the battle ended, although they gained no advantage, the myriad Undying Emperors were still relatively satisfied with the result.
Mainly because of the Dao Yi Shengdi; however, for this, the several old ancestors of the Undying Holy Land were not very happy.
They recalled that the Withered Ghost Holy Land seemed to be the same way before.
At first they could fight the Dao Yi Shengdi with give and take, but inexplicably they ended up being rendered completely powerless by them.
Now the Undying Holy Land and the Dao Yi Shengdi have only just clashed for the first time, just like the Withered Ghost Holy Land; it's not strange that they are evenly matched.
Ultimately, we still need to see how things develop; anyway, this Dao Yi Shengdi is too uncanny, so we cannot let our guard down.
They have already been somewhat shadowed by the Dao Yi Shengdi's strikes, so the several old ancestors of the Undying Holy Land dare not be happy for too long.
Otherwise, if they suffer a major loss later, it will become troublesome.
The Undying Race side is more concerned with the overall battle situation, whereas the Dao Yi Shengdi, after this great battle ends, its many disciples tend to their wounds and eat their meals.
After a great battle, it's natural to fill one's stomach.
Fortunately, for this battle the holy land brought out all its stored dry rations, which happen to be enough for the Dao Yi Shengdi disciples to consume.
As for other sects, there's nothing to be done; medicinal pills are fine, but dry rations are not.
Unlike the relaxed disciples, the holy land's senior members—Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, Shi Song, Bai Hua Xianzi, and Shadowless—were now sitting together with furrowed brows.
"Has Ye Zhangqing not returned yet? Shi Qingfeng didn't say that the Cloud Dream Silk Sea had already been closed?"
Compared to the battle situation, what everyone is more worried about is still Ye Zhangqing.
After all, the Demonic Cultivators are now launching a major assault on the Cloud Silk Holy Land, and Ye Zhangqing happens to be there as well.
Besides, there's no one protecting him nearby; logically, Ye Zhangqing should have already reached the Tianhong Guan via the holy land's Teleportation Array.
But several days have passed, and there is still no news of Ye Zhangqing.
Even using the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán, we cannot make contact.
This naturally made Qi Xiong and others worried, especially Bai Hua Xianzi and Shadowless; the two women's faces grew even more solemn.
"Senior Brother, let me and my senior sister personally go to the Cloud Silk Holy Land."
At this moment, Bai Hua Xianzi suddenly rose and spoke.
She really couldn't put her mind at ease; after thinking it over, she still decided to go personally, and without seeing Ye Zhangqing with her own eyes, she simply couldn't rest easy.
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiong pondered for a moment and did not refuse; he could also see that even if he disagreed, Bai Hua Xianzi and Shadowless would probably not stop listening.
Moreover, he was also worried about Ye Zhangqing's safety.
"Alright, you two go personally, go quickly and return quickly."
"Good."
"Should we give a heads-up to the Cloud Silk Holy Land over there?"
"Just have the junior brother inform them."
Let Tian Nong inform the Cloud Silk Holy Master that Bai Hua Xianzi and Shadowless are heading to the Cloud Silk Holy Land.
Upon hearing the news, the Cloud Silk Holy Master also expressed support.
Although sending two Great Saints to the rear may increase the pressure on the front battlefield...
... but in the short term it won't be a major problem; they can endure.
Without delay, Bai Hua Xianzi and Shadowless prepared to set out that very day.
However, just as they were about to leave, they happened to run into Liu Shuang and the others.
When the several girls heard they were going to rescue Ye Zhangqing, they immediately expressed their wish to go together.
There was no choice; in the end, Liu Shuang, Lu Youyou, and Wang Yao followed Bai Hua Xianzi and Shadowless to the Cloud Silk Holy Land.
Along the way, all the girls were worrying about Ye Zhangqing's safety, fearing that the Demonic Cultivators had already breached the Cloud Silk Holy Land and put Ye Zhangqing in danger.
In the girls' imagination, Ye Zhangqing now must be under great pressure, having to face the threat of the Demonic Cultivators, and they suppose he is still engaged in a bloody battle at this very moment.
However, while the girls worried about Ye Zhangqing, inside the Cloud Silk Holy Land, outside the formation, countless Demonic Cultivator corpses lay piled up haphazardly.
And the battle seemed to have ended; aside from the corpses, no other Demonic Cultivators could be seen.
As for Ye Zhangqing and the others, they were at the Shanmen, happily eating skewers.
Nangong Qing, Shi Yiyi, and the others each held more than ten skewers of meat, eating with oil dripping from their mouths, utterly refreshed.
After the battle, Nangong Qing and the others had actually repelled over a hundred thousand Demonic Cultivators.
There was no way; facing a secret art with no side effects, numerous Demonic Cultivators were completely numbed.
As casualties mounted, yet Nangong Qing and his companions showed not the slightest sign of weakness—where would the Demonic Cultivators find any fighting spirit left?
This simply can't be fought; their secret technique has no side effects, they line up one by one to go forward and deliver.
The original intention was to wear the opponent down to death, but in the end, they simply couldn't be worn down.
Seeing morale sink ever lower, the six leading Shèngjìng Demonic Cultivators could only temporarily choose to retreat.
With morale low, continuing to fight is obviously unwise; it would be better to retreat temporarily, regroup, and then attack again.
However, the secret technique of Nangong Qing and the others obviously cannot have no side effects.
But because of Ye Zhangqing's spiritual food, the side effects have been weakened to the greatest extent.
At this moment, the faces of Nangong Qing and the others are somewhat pale, and their breath is somewhat feeble.
But compared to the previous side effects, these symptoms are practically negligible.
Moreover, everyone maintained the secret technique for such a long time in battle, and in the end they only erupted with this tiny bit of side effects.
This is simply heaven-defying.
Roughly speaking, in the hearts of Nangong Qing and the others, as long as Ye Zhangqing is present, this secret technique has no side effects and can be unleashed without restraint.
What's more, after the battle they could still enjoy a wonderful barbecue; everyone was absolutely delighted—this wasn't fighting at all, it was pure enjoyment.
