Chapter 447

The black flame staff released a wave of black energy, attacking King Qi.

But King Qi skillfully used the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel to dispel these evil talismans and spells.

The elite guard surrounded King Qi, while the shadow warriors spread out, forming an encirclement on all sides.

Each was agile, their eyes revealing a hint of arrogance and provocation.

King Qi felt the pressure increase, yet he remained calm and resolute.

"Do you think you're invincible?" he taunted, "You haven't seen a true warrior yet."

King Qi dodged the enemies' attacks while counterattacking with the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel.

His figure was as agile as an arrow, weaving through the black flame techniques and neutralizing most of the attacks.

However, the elite guard's offensive remained dense and vicious.

"Do you think you can escape my black flame?" a shadow warrior sneered.

King Qi stared at the opponent, his eyes full of determination.

"I will never be swallowed by darkness," he replied calmly.

Gu Qingwan was slightly worried about the battle here, watching from afar.

She knew King Qi was strong, but facing so many enemies, he might also fall into trouble.

The shadow warriors' assault grew fiercer, driving King Qi into a narrow spot with no retreat.

He felt the immense pressure, but did not lose his fighting spirit.

On the contrary, this predicament aroused his inner courage even more.

"I will not fail here!"

King Qi gritted his teeth, enduring the pain from his body, "I will absolutely not be defeated by you!"

King Qi gazed at the shadow warriors, a fierce fighting spirit surging within him.

He fearlessly met the enemies' attacks and countered with the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel.

Each strike hit its mark precisely, putting the shadow warriors somewhat at a disadvantage.

Nevertheless, the elite guard continued to attack King Qi with an unyielding posture.

Their offensive was terrifying, giving a sense of inevitable doom. The appearance of the mysterious cultivator gave Lu Yuan and his companions a glimmer of hope.

With a flickering figure, a mysterious cultivator in white robes appeared before them.

His tall, imposing figure exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

Lu Yuan looked around, seeing the shadow warriors halt their attacks, leaving only the mysterious cultivator standing alone among them.

"Who are you? Why did you come to save us?" Lu Yuan asked warily.

The mysterious cultivator gave a slight nod, his face veiled in a thin mist.

"I am the guardian of the Origin Valley; I heard you had fierce battles with the Red Lotus Sect."

"Since you are also warriors resisting the Red Lotus Sect, I cannot bear to see you die on the battlefield."

"Origin Valley?" Su Liyan asked curiously, "What place is this?"

The mysterious cultivator stroked his beard and smiled, "Origin Valley is a relatively safe haven, hidden deep in the mountains and forests."

"We can first retreat to Origin Valley for refuge."

Hearing this proposal, Lu Yuan and the others perked up, their longing for safety almost surging in every heart.

Gu Qingwan expressed deep gratitude for the mysterious cultivator's appearance, "Thank you for saving us from the predicament; could you bring us to Origin Valley for refuge?"

The mysterious cultivator nodded, "Let's take advantage of now and leave quickly."

Following the mysterious cultivator's lead, Lu Yuan and the others hurried toward Origin Valley.

They passed through a dense ancient spirit mining area; it seemed the shadow warriors did not pursue further.

Meanwhile, behind them, the original battlefield had become unusually quiet.

Gradually, a towering mountain peak came into view.

At the foot of this mountain peak lay a hidden low mountain valley, beautiful and tranquil like a paradise.

That was Origin Valley.

When Lu Yuan and the others entered the low mountain valley, they all felt a pleasant aura of body and mind surrounding them.

All fatigue, panic, and even fear seemed to be dispelled.

"This is truly a good place."

Su Liyan softly sighed, "It seems we can find a moment of peace here."

The mysterious cultivator smiled at everyone.

"I merely opened a door for you; Origin Valley will become your base for advancing."

Lu Yuan felt a surge of gratitude in his heart.

He deeply knew that without the mysterious cultivator's help, they would hardly escape that predicament.

Regarding the mysterious cultivator's identity and origin, he still had doubts, but now he chose to trust him. Lu Yuan fixed his gaze on the massive formation before him, feeling a strong pressure emanating from it.

He knew he and his companions needed to quickly solve this formation to safely enter Origin Valley.

The mysterious cultivator looked at Lu Yuan's anxious expression, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I can help you solve this formation."

"Please trust in my abilities."

Lu Yuan's heart jolted; he could sense the powerful immortal arts emanating from the mysterious cultivator.

"Can you really help us solve this formation?"

"Of course."

The mysterious cultivator confidently nodded, "As long as you cooperate with me, we can smoothly enter Origin Valley."

Lu Yuan glanced at the surrounding Jinni Sect soldiers, who nervously and vigilantly circled the two of them.

Lu Yuan knew they were skeptical of the mysterious cultivator.

"You don't need to worry."

The mysterious cultivator gazed at the Jinni Sect soldiers, his voice gentle and firm, "I only want to help these warriors."

Several Jinni Sect soldiers exchanged glances, showing hesitation.

Although they were skeptical of the mysterious cultivator's appearance, they also understood they needed to solve this formation to enter Origin Valley.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and decided to trust the mysterious cultivator.

"All right, we are willing to trust your ability."

"Very good." The mysterious cultivator nodded in satisfaction.

He walked to the front of the formation and began chanting the Dao incantation.

The formation emitted a gradually brightening light, enveloping the entire scene.

Lu Yuan felt as if invisible bonds were constricting his body, preventing him from moving.

"Don't be afraid." The mysterious cultivator's voice was ethereal yet firm, "I will use my power to oppose this formation."

Lu Yuan tightly closed his eyes, trying to focus as much as possible.

He felt the immortal law power circulating within his origin body, silently gathering. Lu Yuan's mood was extremely anxious; he, Su Liyan, King Qi, and Gu Qingwan were surrounded by enemies on the valley mouth battlefield.

The battlefield was in chaos, fierce battle sounds unceasing.

The Jinni Sect soldiers engaged in a death-defying struggle with the enemy; their seamless cooperation allowed the team to endure.

Lu Yuan wielded the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, swiftly dodging the enemy's attacks.

He calmly analyzed the battlefield situation, seeking an opportunity to break through. (End of chapter)
