Chapter 76 Evacuation
Lu Zhao and Zixia turned and left, not caring about what others thought. Whether they believed him or not was irrelevant to him; their fate was in their own hands.
Not long after they started, Lu Zhao saw several familiar faces.
Saying they were several acquaintances would be an exaggeration; there was only one person I was truly familiar with.
Lu Zhao rushed over quickly and blocked the group of people who were moving forward.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Zixia, why are you in such a hurry? What happened inside?" Yaochi Saintess asked the two.
"The strange beasts inside the Immortal Abode have joined forces. You should all leave as soon as possible, or you will face annihilation," Lu Zhao warned.
"The strange beasts have joined forces?" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's expression changed.
The other holy maidens who were traveling with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi also changed their expressions drastically upon hearing this news.
"How could this be? These beasts have a strong sense of territory, how could they suddenly unite?" The Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Beginnings still couldn't believe it.
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I have done what I should do, so we will take our leave now." Lu Zhao said to the group with a slight fist and palm salute.
As soon as he finished speaking, he and Zixia left the area.
"I don't think Fellow Daoist Lu is lying. Let's leave here as soon as possible," the Holy Maiden of Yaochi said to the other Holy Maidens.
"Then we'll listen to Fellow Daoist Yaochi." The others nodded in agreement.
As for those outside the Immortal Burial Ground, they simply refused to believe it. They all shared the same thought: these strange beasts had a strong sense of territory.
I don't think the beasts will suddenly change and join forces to deal with the powerful figure from the Qishi Mansion.
"Hehe, ignore him. He's just a coward. Even if he joined us, we wouldn't feel comfortable with him."
"Even if these strange beasts really join forces, why would so many of us be afraid?"
"Let's go lure the nearby strange beasts. Let's see what they do when they see us. Our methods might not be ineffective."
So the people dispersed and rushed toward the nearby territory of the strange beasts.
Soon, the area around the Immortal Burial Ground was filled with the roars of beasts, and at the same time, various terrifying fluctuations emanated from it.
Dozens of strange beasts charged in, rushing towards this place with a terrifying aura.
Then these people led the strange beasts into the Immortal Burial Ground and lured the beasts to other beast territories.
The intrusion of other strange beasts did indeed provoke the anger of the original lord of the territory.
The two sides clashed without hesitation, and the fluctuations of the battle were terrifying.
However, shortly after the battle began, several beast roars echoed from the depths of the Immortal Burial Ground.
Upon hearing these roars, the beasts that were still engaged in battle suddenly changed direction and charged towards the disciples of the Qishi Mansion.
Those disciples who had been watching from a distance were instantly torn apart by the strange beast.
The beast was terrifying; it crushed a dragon-transformation cultivator with a single claw.
These young disciples of the Qishi Mansion are as fragile as blank sheets of paper to them; a single, gentle blow will shatter them instantly.
"The monsters have joined forces! That guy wasn't lying to us! Everyone, run!" someone shouted and fled.
But the others had already escaped, and they were faster than this man.
These people fled all the way, flying towards the exit of the immortal abode.
But the beasts behind them were even more terrifying, especially those powerful ones, whose speed was enough to make everyone despair.
However, after walking for a short while, they saw Lu Zhao and the others.
It was after Lu Zhao notified the Holy Maiden of Yaochi that he began rushing towards the outside of the Immortal Mansion.
"Fellow Daoist, help!" someone shouted towards Lu Zhao's back.
They believed that Lu Zhao could discover the situation and perhaps find a safe place to help them escape the danger.
However, Lu Zhao had no obligation to help these people.
Being able to offer a reminder to these guys is already the greatest help they can give.
If they don't believe it themselves, then they have no one to blame but themselves.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi had already taken action, rushing out of the Immortal Abode with Lu Zhaochao.
At the same time, they also discovered that the army of alien beasts was chasing them, and there were so many of them that if Lu Zhao hadn't warned them in time, they might have run into some trouble.
However, compared to the others, they were naturally much better off.
With Lu Zhao's reminder, they were at least able to shake off the others.
They wouldn't be caught up by other strange beasts and lose their lives.
Roar!
A terrifying roar came as a dragon-transformation cultivator was bitten by a strange beast, which bit off his entire upper body and then swallowed him whole.
His lower body fell silently to the ground, and there was no more movement.
However, after being swallowed, the creature did not die immediately.
However, he was trapped within the beast's internal space and could only feel his life slowly slipping away.
Only at this moment did he remember what Lu Zhao had said: these strange beasts had joined forces, and if they didn't leave now, it would be too late.
As a result, these people didn't believe it at all, and even secretly mocked Lu Zhao for being cowardly.
Now that it's happened, it's too late for him to regret it.
At this moment, it wasn't just this one person who was killed; the other dragon-transformation cultivators were also gradually losing their lives under the siege of these strange beasts.
They were filled with regret and resentment, but it was all too late.
No one will pity them for a moment; they will only think they are too foolish.
In the eyes of these people, Lu Zhao used the "Shifting Stars" technique, and his figure disappeared completely in a few flashes.
The few remaining guys were now completely plunged into despair.
Even when faced with the beast's gaping maw, they had given up resisting and allowed it to swallow them whole.
The dozens of people who provoked the beast also lost their lives in the blink of an eye.
As for the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and others, they were already prepared. The moment they saw the strange beast chasing after them, they each activated their lightning talismans.
They then locked onto Lu Zhao's aura and used Lu Zhao's speed to lead them away.
Lu Zhao pushed his speed to its peak, transforming into a blur as he traversed space, covering tens of thousands of miles in just a few flashes.
Then, in a few flashes, it completely disappeared without a trace.
The pursuing beasts were stunned; the speed was simply astonishing.
Just a few dozen breaths later, Lu Zhao led the group out of the Immortal Mansion.
At this moment, those outside the Immortal Abode were unaware of what was happening inside, and some disciples of the Qishi Mansion were even preparing to enter a second time.
Lu Zhao informed the elders of this matter, urging them to make a decision as soon as possible.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu." Zixia bowed slightly to Lu Zhao.
This trip deep into the Immortal Abode with Lu Zhao was incredibly rewarding; she not only obtained the Western Emperor Scripture but also the legendary Dragon Marrow.
With these things, she was confident that she would rise to prominence.
"No need to be polite. We both benefited from this collaboration. It was truly a very pleasant experience." Lu Zhao nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll go back and consolidate my cultivation first. We'll meet again in a while." Zixia clasped her hands in a fist salute to Lu Zhao.
She then turned and left, entering her cave to cultivate.
