Chapter 409: We have a daughter

South side of Liangzhou, northwest of the Great Wilderness Forest.

The reinforcements sent by the three Southern Sects had already guarded both sides of the surging Nujiang River, and were currently looking up at the deep sky.

They had arrived after receiving a message from the Spirit Platform, and their purpose was to receive the sect members who had escaped from the Holy Land of the Sages. As for what happened in the Holy Land of the Sages, they also roughly understood some of it.

But at this very moment, they were still shocked by the rolling black night that was spreading.

Especially when the endless baleful aura spewed from the sky, as if the heavens had been ignited, and there were countless green-white figures screaming in the sky within that baleful aura, that kind of shock was gradually replaced by fear.

Because they had only seen such a scene in the illustrations of the ancient history scrolls.

And the name of that illustration was "The Remnant Race Cuts the Heavens."

Just as they were unable to recover for a long time, countless figures rushed under the monstrous black night.

First was the group from the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, then the group from the Dao-Seeking Sect, followed by Spirit Sword Mountain.

Coming from the Sacred Land of Sages, the human cultivators who had traveled day and night fled here in a sorry state, but compared to when they left, the number of people from each sect had already been halved.

The disciples sent by Spirit Sword Mountain to provide support immediately stepped forward and successfully received the Spirit Sword Mountain disciples retreating south, but what they found hard to accept was that their Appraisal Master was not among these disciples.

"Where is the Appraisal Master? Have you seen where the Appraisal Master is?!"

"The Appraisal Master... the Appraisal Master is at the Sacred Land of Sages, using a holy artifact to cover our retreat."

"What? You bastards!"

The ones leading the team were the elders of Profound Sword Peak, Yan Chuan and Yan De. Upon hearing this, they immediately cursed: "You actually abandoned the Appraisal Master and came back alone!"

The battered Spirit Sword Mountain disciples clenched their fists upon hearing this: "We thought the Appraisal Master's cultivation had already reached the Spirit Travel Realm, and with the Spirit Appraisal in hand, she should be able to get out, so we didn't want to cause trouble for the Appraisal Master and followed orders to retreat south..."

"Nonsense, no matter how strong the Appraisal Master is, she is ultimately just one person. You will immediately follow me back to support the Appraisal Master!"

After hearing this, Yan De couldn't help but look at Yan Chuan: "I think what they said is right. The Appraisal Master's profound arts are peerless, her sword Dao is already perfected, and she has a holy artifact; there won't be any problems. We would only be a burden instead."

Yan Chuan clenched his fists: "That may be so, but..."

"But?"

"You don't understand, but please believe me, we must go to support her!"

Yan Chuan's emotions began to grow somewhat irritable, and deep worry was revealed in his eyes.

Apart from the senior leadership, not many people knew that the Appraisal Master was pregnant, because being pregnant before marriage was indeed not suitable for publicizing, and furthermore, Spirit Sword Mountain had always found it hard to accept the relationship between Ji You and their own Appraisal Master.

For the past half year, the young Appraisal Master had been in a very bad mood, and she wanted even less to hear the endless gossip from the disciples in the sect.

Yan Chuan had been guarding the hall for the Appraisal Master for the past half year, so he knew about this matter, and he also knew that as the months of the pregnancy grew, the Appraisal Master had begun to fall into a state of weakness; she would definitely be in danger if she were alone.

But he couldn't tell them, so he could only insist on going to rescue her.

And just at this moment, three figures flew in from the banks of the Nujiang River; Cao Jingsong landed with Ban Yangshu, Wen Zhengxin, and Bai Rulong.

On their way south, they had been searching for the young Appraisal Master's figure, and they held the same worries in their hearts as Yan Chuan.

It was only until this moment, hearing the discussion of the Spirit Sword Mountain disciples, that they learned the young Appraisal Master had stayed behind to cover the retreat, and they were even more anxious, so they immediately flew over.

"Count us in for going to support the Appraisal Master."

"Fellow Daoists, your righteousness..."

Seeing the look in Cao Jingsong's eyes, Yan Chuan knew that he also understood the Appraisal Master was pregnant, so he did not decline and immediately cupped his hands in thanks.

Seeing this scene, Yan De did not say anything more, because he could see that these people truly had a reason that they had to go.

As for those Spirit Sword Mountain disciples, they immediately crushed their remaining spirit stones to replenish their spiritual energy. They already felt guilty for leaving the Appraisal Master alone, and now seeing that even people from the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan were going, they naturally had to follow.

However, just as they were about to set off, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the direction of Central Province, and an even more powerful aura suddenly appeared, causing even those at the perfection of the Upper Five Realms in the field to tremble.

This aura had already far exceeded their cognition; just feeling it from afar made their whole bodies tremble.

Pfft—!!

A figure passed through the wind and smashed heavily onto the surface of the ground.

This was a Spirit Travel Realm elder from Mountain Sea Pavilion. At this moment, a large hole had been punched through his chest, and blood was continuously overflowing.

Mountain Sea Pavilion had been guarding the northeast direction, which was the slowest during the retreat south; looking at it this way, they had encountered a large-scale pursuit.

On both banks of the Nujiang River, countless people could not help but feel terrified upon seeing this scene.

However, just at this moment, as a stone tablet suddenly rose into the sky, countless remnants of the ancient race who were pursuing them were crushed into ashes.

Amidst the flickering gazes, Chen Luo and Chen Xi of the Chen Clan descended from the sky, waved their palms to retract the Sage Dao Tablet that had been suppressing the sky, and landed amidst rolling waves of air.

And behind them, the Mountain Sea Pavilion disciples were following the Chen Clan disciples as they quickly retreated to the Great Wilderness Forest and arrived before the crowd.

At this moment, everyone saw a black carriage, and sitting on the carriage was an old man with white hair and beard; he was the Chen Clan Patriarch who had not had any news since the disaster of the millennium family.

He was in a state where his breath was as thin as a thread, unconscious, and even his aura was very weak and silent.

Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but look at each other in dismay.

"The previous rumors were actually true?"

"I said it, the Chen Clan Patriarch was the one who was most heavily injured, otherwise he should have appeared long ago."

As early as two years ago, there were rumors that the Chen Clan Patriarch had been heavily injured by a demon from the Approaching Immortal Realm and was already in a half-dead state, but the Chen Clan had never admitted it; now the truth was finally out.

At this moment, Chen Luo and Chen Xi listened to the discussions in their ears, and their expressions could not help but turn gloomy.

Their Chen Clan was located in Qingzhou, and after the revival of the ancient race, they were the first to be occupied; they could only move the whole clan south, and the state of the Patriarch naturally could not be hidden.

But it didn't matter anymore; after all, they didn't dare to announce it to the outside world before for fear of other sects invading, and now that things had reached this point, they didn't even have their ancestral land anymore, so what else was there worth guarding against.

At the same time, Yan Chuan, Cao Jingsong, and others who were discussing returning to Central Province walked over and met them.

"Fellows, have you seen our Appraisal Master on the way here?!"

Hearing this, Chen Xi looked at them: "Appraisal Master did not retreat?"

Yan Chuan pursed his dry lips: "I heard from the disciples in the sect that she chose to stay behind to cover the retreat."

As the words fell, a Mountain Sea Pavilion disciple spoke: "I think I saw her once. She should have been injured. When we left, we saw her being supported by two people accompanying her, heading east."

"Injured? Is the Appraisal Master's injury serious?"

"I didn't see clearly..."

Cao Jingsong looked at Chen Xi at this time: "May I ask Fairy Chen, what is the situation in Central Province now?"

Hearing this, Chen Xi narrowed her eyes: "A powerhouse with combat strength comparable to the Approaching Immortal Realm has appeared in Central Province. They call him Wang Chen. He brought countless elites of the ancient race, and that place has now been completely occupied by the ancient race; it's impossible to enter at all."

"Comparable to the Approaching Immortal Realm?!"

"That's right, that person should be a big figure among the ancient race."

Zuo Qiuyang also arrived here by flying through the air at this time, and upon hearing this, he spoke: "With combat strength like that, I wonder how many have appeared in Central Province?"

"We only saw one, but according to the conversations of the ancient race, there are definitely more than just this one who are called Wang Chen," Chen Xi answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Yan Chuan and Cao Jingsong raised their heads in unison to look north, their hearts feeling cold.

Combat strength comparable to the Approaching Immortal Realm meant that there was a figure at the level of a sect abbot there, and with their realm, let alone supporting the Appraisal Master, they couldn't even walk to that place at all.

Boom!!!!

Just at this moment, a mighty roar came from under the distant night sky.

Everyone immediately turned their heads to look, and saw a huge phantom appear high in the sky, fiercely battling with an ancient race member who had wings covering the sky.

Seeing this scene, everyone's minds trembled violently.

They did not recognize that ancient race member, but they recognized that phantom; it was the Emperor of the demon race.

The intense auras of the two shook the night, causing the mountains to collapse and thick smoke to roll across the earth.

Seeing such a scene like the collapse of heaven and earth, the faces of Yan Chuan and Cao Jingsong all turned pale, because they knew that Chen Xi really had not lied.

"It's Father Emperor!"

"The clansmen are in the northeast direction, support them immediately!"

On the north side of the Central Province mountain forest, the demon prince Ye Han killed an ancient race soldier with a battle blade, and then led a massive army to march northeast.

After the earth-shattering chaos broke out, they did not move south like the humans, but had been going against the current, going to support their clansmen; there were countless casualties during this period, but they still did not give up.

And when they saw the figure of the Demon Emperor, they knew that the clansmen should already be on the road retreating south.

To the northeast of the Sacred Land of Sages was the ancient human training ground. At this time, there were countless ancient race soldiers around the training ground, hunting humans who had not yet managed to escape.

And when they arrived, they saw a bright silver spear breaking through the bamboo, fighting in the midst of the mighty siege.

Before long, the long spear pierced through several ancient race members, and then fell back with a bang.

In the eyes of the crowd appeared a slender figure wearing red and silver precious armor. She stood on the city wall of the human training ground, reached out to grasp the long spear, and then killed a bloody path with a magnificent momentum.

"It's the Princess..."

"It's Her Highness the Princess!"

Amidst the exclamations, Ye Han had already ridden his demon beast and rushed over.

When he arrived at the human ancient training ground, he leaped, and the battle blade in his hand pressed down fiercely, directly killing an ancient race member: "Fengyang..."

Fengyang held the silver spear and reached out to wipe the blood from her face: "Imperial Brother, I'm fine. Father Emperor has an order for you and me to immediately lead the clansmen to move south."

"Where is the Patriarch of the Scale Clan? I clearly left him to guard Yunzhou, why are you the one charging at the front?!"

"The Patriarch of the Scale Clan is dead. This matter is a long story, but now is not the time to talk, hurry up and go!"

Ye Han turned around: "Pass on my military order, immediately protect the clansmen to move south!"

As the words fell, the army behind him suddenly surged toward the east and west sides like a tide, guarding the demon clansmen who had followed Fengyang in the middle.

The mighty demon race immediately began to detour along the east and galloped toward the south.

And in this process, Fengyang held the long spear and killed continuously; that powerful aura made countless demon race members look sideways.

As for their own Princess, these soldiers naturally knew a little more than the civilians, knowing that her talent was extraordinary and not at all weaker than the princes.
