Chapter 903: Chapter 903: The Scourge of the Immortal Alliance
No one knew how the Void Beasts suddenly appeared in such a place.
Generally speaking, Void Beasts rarely appear in the world inhabited by human cultivators.
This was a pattern concluded by the Immortal Alliance.
Whenever they appeared, there was bound to be great trouble!
Just like the previous incident in the Middle Three Thousand Worlds, the Void Beasts’ sudden emergence was all for the pearl that the Ma Family had obtained!
Not only that, it seemed there was something in the secret realm where the Ma Family had obtained the pearl that was very useful to the Void Beasts.
That’s why only a part of the Void Beasts appeared.
However, that time was relatively simple for the Immortal Alliance to manage, since there were few Void Beasts and no reinforcements.
But this time, something was amiss in Dust Star, as the Void Beasts had directly opened three spatial passageways!
Countless Void Beasts poured out, hell-bent on annihilating this place.
Even though Dust Star was a lawless zone, the Immortal Alliance absolutely wouldn’t allow the Void Beasts to cause trouble here.
Soon, a group of people hurried to the largest main city, where almost all the cultivators on Dust Star had gathered.
As for those who hadn’t made it, they were either already killed by the Void Beasts outside or were desperately on their way here.
The Immortal Alliance’s Vermilion Bird team leader, Wei Changqing, was standing together with the Heaven and Earth Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Li Feng.
Both of them had serious expressions on their faces.
“The Immortal Alliance won’t send more experts over?”
Li Feng frowned deeply, “Just now, we lost many from the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, isn’t the Immortal Alliance going to explain?”
“You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I’ve contacted the Immortal Alliance and got no response at all; probably other places are facing problems as well,” Wei Changqing snorted.
“The Immortal Alliance isn’t as formidable as you think, and the Void Beasts aren’t as easy to deal with as you believe,” he continued with a cold hum.
“They’re fragile; enough cultivators can slay them,” Li Feng said coldly. “If the Immortal Alliance could send more experts, they could easily resolve the situation.”
“Hundreds of people have come already; nothing bad will happen. It’s just that the Void Beasts are scattered all over Dust Star and aren’t easy to find.”
“Besides, you, a Golden Immortal, what are you scared of? Can the Void Beasts even harm you? If you had been more powerful, the Void Beasts wouldn’t have burst out like that!”
Li Feng remained silent.
Everyone has a trump card, but can trump cards be used so casually?
Once others know, those with ill-intentions would probably come straight for you!
“The most urgent task is to set up the array. The best way to deal with the Void Beasts is through arrays; those things have no brains,” Wei Changqing said softly, looking at the people busily setting up arrays.
“Does the Heaven and Earth Pavilion have any arrays? Use some of them,” he suggested.
“Isn’t the Immortal Alliance going to offer me any benefits?”
“Yes, yes, of course, we will provide benefits. Although no one wants to take care of your place, you can’t take an inch and ask for a mile, you know the Immortal Alliance has large expenditures,” Wei Changqing replied.
“We pay a lot in tribute too!” Li Feng swept a cold glance at him.
Wei Changqing shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yuan Chongwei and Jiang Yu were still feeling the aftereffects of a narrow escape from death.
They happened to be escorting a merchant caravan when they suddenly encountered the Void Beasts breaking out of the Immortal Alliance’s encirclement.
At that moment, they were scared witless!
Fortunately, the people from the Immortal Alliance quickly came to the rescue, else they would have undoubtedly died, completely unable to withstand the overwhelming attack of the Void Beasts.
Just a slight touch would cause them to shatter!
The attacks of the Void Beasts were incredibly fierce!
The two of them were hiding in a corner, discussing something.
“What do you think, can the Immortal Alliance hold out?” Jiang Yu asked curiously.
Yuan Chongwei seemed a bit more relaxed, “The Immortal Alliance will certainly hold out. They haven’t sent more people over, which proves they can easily take care of these Void Beasts.”
“I’m just really curious, how could a virtual beast appear here?”
“Do you actually know about the virtual beasts?” Jiang Yu asked in astonishment.
He had no idea what such a creature was, and judging by Yuan Chongwei’s demeanor, the latter seemed to know some secrets.
“I do know, but not much, my power isn’t sufficient.”
Yuan Chongwei’s expression suddenly turned grave, “But one thing is certain, this thing is the biggest cancer of the three thousand worlds, and it’s always been a problem we couldn’t solve.”
“Isn’t the Immortal Alliance really powerful? And in the world you come from with its perfect system, aren’t there a lot of experts? Get them to come over.”
“Bullshit, can you just summon them just like that? Even helping the Immortal Alliance is just giving them face, those people from the three worlds don’t even care for the Immortal Alliance.”
“Anyway, let’s see if we can be of any help later, I guess the virtual beast wants to destroy this world.”
Both of them were very tense.
Having truly witnessed the scene where swarms of virtual beasts attacked relentlessly, it was definitely an unforgettable experience in one’s life.
Both of them were still a bit tense now.
“After this is settled, I must go find Brother Jiang. Wandering around aimlessly is pointless, it’s only by following Brother Jiang that there’ll be meat to eat,” Yuan Chongwei said, rubbing his bald head.
“Why would you think that.”
“Brother Jiang isn’t simple, intelligent as a demon, and he’s not an honest man either. Just look at the ruckus he’s caused in the War God’s Domain… Hiss, speaking of that, seems like the passage to the War God Sect is about to open?”
“There’s still a month or two,” Jiang Yu said, counting on his fingers. “My master told me not to go to the upper world, it’s pointless to go now.”
“Yeah, you’re just a mere True Immortal, and a pretty rubbish one at that.”
“Lay…”
…
In the main city, defensive formations were being set up with great urgency, while on the other side, Jiang Xiaobai and his group were also rushing towards a cave.
Song Xue and her two companions were healing their wounds in that place.
The three of them had helped to cover the retreat earlier, buying a bit of time but had also gotten injured in the process.
When Jiang Xiaobai saw the three of them, he was shocked.
Three Celestials, all looking battered and bruised, covered in fierce wounds!
This was clear evidence of just how terrifying the attack power of the virtual beasts was!
“They’re just minor wounds, nothing dangerous, we’ll heal soon…”
As Song Xue saw Jiang Xiaobai and was about to say something, she froze.
Because she saw the Qiao sisters, Yun Nian and Yun Shen.
“Hold on, how are you two here?”
Song Xue was shocked.
If Qiao Nan Heng found out, wouldn’t he come running over with a sword in hand?
Capturing them would surely lead to a thorough beating!
The sisters’ faces turned red, or more precisely, Yun Shen was looking down at her fingers, not daring to utter a word.
She knew she had really overdone it this time.
“That’s not what we should be focusing on right now; we need to get you to the main city to settle down. The people from the Immortal Alliance must already be there.”
“Oh, you sound like you have more moves to play?” Song Xue sneered coldly. “Have you lost your mind? How are you going to deal with the virtual beasts outside all by yourself?”
“Small matters, small matters…”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed it off and immediately set out to lead everyone away.
He had to deliver the people back to the city before the virtual beasts attacked the main city, and he, was going to find Gu Wanqing.
After all, his little aunt was a friend, and Jiang Xiaobai wouldn’t stand by and watch her be in danger outside.
Meanwhile, Qiongyu just watched Jiang Xiaobai with a dazed look in her eyes.
What do you think?
