CHAPTER 765: ESCAPING

Wen DongTrue Monarch saw that for the time being, he couldn't take down Meng Zhang and his group, so he wanted to shake their determination by using a bunch of ambiguous words that were hard to distinguish between true and false. However, both Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying were not easily swayed by words and remained calm as they dealt with them.

True Monarch Crossing Blade saw Wen DongTrue Monarch blabbering for a long time, but it had no effect at all. Dawei couldn't stand it and shouted, "Old Wen, why waste so much time talking to these guys? Jiuqu League is already destroyed, and they can't escape death."

While speaking, he increased his attacks.

Although Meng Zhang and his team felt immense pressure, they managed to maintain their formation for the time being, not getting scattered and providing mutual support. Especially He LuoTrue Monarch and True Monarch Azure Mist seemed to have been stimulated by something, fighting like madmen, giving a sense of recklessness.

Wen DongTrue Monarch and True Monarch Crossing Blade were confident of their victory and were unwilling to fight desperately with their enemies. They only needed to act step by step, and naturally, they could defeat the enemy.

The opponents' attacks became fiercer, and Meng Zhang, who was the most heavily injured among them, felt increasingly overwhelmed. If nothing changed, he would soon be unable to suppress the injuries inside his body.

Xu Mengying was truly full of surprises. At a critical moment, she threw out a Fourth Rank talisman, temporarily forcing the opponents to retreat and buying some time for their side.

In the Cultivation World, especially in Jiuqu League, Third Rank Talisman Masters were not common, let alone Fourth Rank Talisman Masters. Based on Meng Zhang's knowledge, he had never heard of any nearby Primordial Spirit True Monarch proficient in talisman-making or being a Fourth Rank Talisman Master.

He had no idea where Xu Mengying got this Fourth Rank talisman, but it played a significant role at a crucial moment.

Taking advantage of the enemy being forced back, they quickly retreated. Unfortunately, the Fourth Rank talisman didn't buy them much time. They had only flown a short distance when the enemies caught up from behind.

Seeing that they couldn't escape this way, a resolute expression appeared on He LuoTrue Monarch's face, and he was about to rush over and fight the enemies.

Just at that moment, scrolls of books fell from the sky, firmly trapping the two pursuers.

"Go quickly," the voice of Book MountainTrue Monarch came from behind.

Seeing someone helping them out, Meng Zhang and the other four didn't dare to be careless and immediately accelerated their escape.

Although Book MountainTrue Monarch was only a Primordial Spirit initial-stage cultivator, he was not inferior to a mid-stage cultivator. He possessed an Innate Sacred Virtue Grand Dao, which was one of the rare Grand Daos ranked among the top three thousand. In terms of Grand Dao power alone, he was stronger than Wen DongTrue Monarch and his group.

Wen DongTrue Monarch and True Monarch Crossing Blade saw Book MountainTrue Monarch and knew that he was a powerful individual from the Dark Alliance.

"You little fish that slipped through the net, you dare to come out and court death instead of hiding in your rat hole," True Monarch Crossing Blade scoffed.

Though his tone was disdainful, after several exchanges, True Monarch Crossing Blade had become wary of Book MountainTrue Monarch. With Book MountainTrue Monarch joining the battle, Meng Zhang's side gained a significant boost. They not only changed their previously defensive stance but also showed signs of a counterattack.

Fortunately, Meng Zhang and his team kept a clear head, knowing that although they had more people, each one of them was wounded and not in their best condition. It was not the right time to face the enemy.

However, as formidable as Book MountainTrue Monarch was, he couldn't single-handedly turn the tide and defeat the opposition. As a result, under Book MountainTrue Monarch's protection, everyone fought and retreated, slowly leaving the battlefield and gradually departing from Nine Heavens.

Wen DongTrue Monarch and True Monarch Crossing Blade made several attempts and exhausted all means, but they had to leave begrudgingly when they realized they couldn't overcome their opponents. The Dali Dynasty had other plans, and they were carrying military orders; they couldn't linger here for too long.

After leaving Nine Heavens, Meng Zhang and his group descended rapidly from the high altitude and landed in a desolate wilderness. Upon landing, before they could stabilize themselves, He LuoTrue Monarch and True Monarch Azure Mist urgently released message talismans and communication flying swords.

After completing all this, He LuoTrue Monarch said to Meng Zhang's group, "I won't speak empty words of gratitude. Today's kindness and favor will be repaid by me in the future. There's little time left; I can't explain everything now. I must escort Junior Brother Qinglan's Primordial Spirit out. I will explain everything to you later."

With that, he hurriedly took True Monarch Azure Mist's Primordial Spirit and left.

Seeing Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying's puzzled expressions, Book MountainTrue Monarch said from the side, "Let them go. If you have any questions, I'll explain slowly."

Book MountainTrue Monarch's tone was low, and there was a profound weariness in his expression.

Meng Zhang didn't hide his curiosity and immediately asked what had happened to He LuoTrue Monarch and True Monarch Azure Mist. Why were they being pursued by the people from the Dali Dynasty on Nine Heavens? Moreover, which parts of Wen DongTrue Monarch's speech were true and which were false?

After listening to Meng Zhang's questions, Book MountainTrue Monarch organized his thoughts before slowly explaining.

It turned out that within the Azure Origin Sect, there was a tradition. Every once in a while, the Azure Origin Sect would send out Primordial Spirit True Monarchs to organize a group of their own camp's Primordial Spirit True Monarchs to venture together to Nine Heavens to collect Nine Heavens Refined Essence and other valuable resources. The resources needed by Primordial Spirit True Monarchs were rare, and Nine Heavens was an effective way to obtain them.

Of course, obtaining these resources was not easy and required facing many difficulties.

This tradition had been going on for 1,000 to 2,000 years. Nowadays, every time a group of Primordial Spirit True Monarchs was sent out, there were usually more than ten individuals, forming a formidable force.

With so many Primordial Spirit True Monarchs entering Nine Heavens together, not to mention being invincible, at least they wouldn't encounter much danger, and everyone could confidently collect various resources.

Apart from Nine Heavens Refined Essence, there were many other useful resources in Nine Heavens. Rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, for example, could be found there.

Meng Zhang had only achieved the Primordial Spirit stage for a short time and had not entered Nine Heavens many times. When he went there, his priority was to obtain Nine Heavens Refined Essence, so he temporarily overlooked other resources.

The Azure Origin Sect probably had a thorough understanding of the distribution of resources in Nine Heavens. Every time they organized a large group to go, they could gain substantial income.

Originally, this tradition had been going on for so many years without any issues. Firstly, they kept their whereabouts secret. Before setting off, only the cultivators of Azure Origin Sect knew the exact destination. Secondly, with so many Primordial Spirit True Monarchs going together, who would dare to come and seek trouble?

Unexpectedly, what everyone believed to be an absolutely unproblematic operation turned out to be a big problem this time. The Dali Dynasty somehow learned about their whereabouts and set up an ambush in Nine Heavens. Once they entered the ambush circle, the hidden troops of the Dali Dynasty struck suddenly. Dali Dynasty dispatched no less than twenty Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, all elite forces.
