Chapter 2047

And they've already done what needed to be done; if that didn't work, then it's time to fight.

At the same time, a conflict broke out between the Flame Mouse and the Rhinoceros Spirit.

The Flame Mouse and his group also encountered other Witch Clan members, and these Witch Clan members had no intention of letting the four demon sages escape—they were determined to kill them.

"Stop him!"

"Stop them! Don't let them get away!"

The Witch Clan's foot soldiers had been holding back the Flame Mouse, and their casualties had been heavy.

The Flame Mouse and the Heaven Book Demon were both at the Preliminary Saint level, and as Preliminary Saints, they were considerably stronger than these Witch Clan foot soldiers.

They had originally been under Xingtian's command, but Xingtian had returned to the Pangu Hall, and now there was virtually no one in charge—only a few foot soldiers managing things.

It was just luck that along the path to Penglai Immortal Island, they encountered only Witch Clan foot soldiers, not Great Witches.

Even Xingtian hadn't expected the Demon Clan to dare so brazenly cross their territory and attempt to reach the outskirts of Penglai Immortal Island in their world.

One of the Witch Clan foot soldiers said: "Send someone back to notify Lord Xingtian—hurry, send word at top speed, or we won't be able to hold out!"

"Hurry, send someone right away!"

One shouted, then ten, then a hundred surged forward as a crowd turned to retreat, but the Rhinoceros Spirit and the Yellow Wind Demon had already surrounded them, throwing the Witch Clan foot soldiers into even greater chaos.

The Yellow Wind Demon said to the Flame Mouse: "Hurry, take the Heaven Book Demon and go—we'll hold them off. You must reach the outskirts of Penglai Immortal Island."

"Alright, then we rely on you."

Whether they could reach Penglai Immortal Island wasn't the issue—the issue was they didn't know when Luo Fu would emerge, and when he did, he would surely bring the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Didn't the Flame Mouse think of all these things? Of course he did—he just didn't want to care.

Save the Heaven Book Demon!

This was the only thought in the Flame Mouse's mind—he had to save the Heaven Book Demon.

Soon, the Flame Mouse broke through the encirclement and escaped with the Heaven Book Demon before Xingtian returned; far away, the Rhinoceros Spirit and the Yellow Wind Demon were holding back the other Witch Clan foot soldiers.

These Witch Clan foot soldiers fought as if they had no fear of death, all trying to block their advance toward the area before Penglai Immortal Island—was there something extraordinary beyond Penglai Immortal Island?
