Chapter 41: The War Between the Righteous and the Demons: The Trap Prepared by Ji Lie
Xiao Yichen found that a formation suddenly appeared, and he hurriedly utilized his strength to break the formation by force. In the end, he discovered that his power was actually unable to break through the formation.
This time, he came here to join forces with Ye Qingcheng, but he fell into a trap because of his carelessness.
Now, how could Ye Qingcheng deal with Ji Lie alone?
Ye Qingcheng saw this scene, so she waved her spirit sword toward the formation, intending to break it, but the formation was not damaged at all, which made her very helpless.
The other disciples of the Xiao family and the powerhouses who came with Xiao Yichen also had ugly expressions.
Ever since they followed Xiao Yichen, they have not been successful in thwarting the demons. This guy was simply unlucky. Whoever followed him would be unlucky.
Although Ji Lie was confident in his own strength, he still felt pressure to deal with Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Yichen by himself. Therefore, he planned to trap Xiao Yichen and defeat them one by one.
After trapping Xiao Yichen, Ji Lie shouted, Kill him!
Then many demonic experts directly launched an attack. Seeing this, all the righteous cultivators also charged over together, and a large-scale fight ensued.
Trapped in the formation, Xiao Yichen saw that the two sides had started fighting, and he was also burning with anxiety.
Xiao Yichen mobilized his spiritual qi and kept rushing towards the Immortal Trapping Formation, trying to break out of the formation. However, this Immortal Trapping Formation was really powerful; he tried several times in a row to break out of it.
Although the number of demons was small, there were more late-stage Golden Core realm powerhouses in the demons than there were late-stage Golden Core realm powerhouses in the righteous cultivators.
Two hours later, nearly half of the Demonic Sect powerhouses were dead or injured, but the righteous cultivators were not much better. Overall, the righteous cultivators have the upper hand now.
Realizing that the righteous cultivators had the advantage, Ji Lie suddenly gave an order to retreat. Thus, nearly a hundred of them retreated with Ji Lie.
The situation was now in their favor, so Xiao Yichen led everyone to chase after them, intending to destroy these demons. Ye Qingcheng was a little hesitant, but in the end, she chose to chase after them also.
Qin Lu stood at the back and had not made a move yet because, although there were many demons this time, not all of them were present. There were still 40 demons that had not yet shown themselves, which was the number of two teams.
They probably had ulterior motives for retreating. Thinking of this, Qin Lu was worried that Ye Qingcheng was in danger, so he quietly followed them.
Sure enough, after Ji Lie and the demonic cultivators retreated for nearly a hundred miles, they stopped and didnt move.
Seeing that they all halted in their tracks, Xiao Yichen thought that the other party was at a dead end and was very happy, so he waved his long spear and rushed over.
However, just as he rushed out, he noticed a smile on Ji Lies face, followed by a powerful aura surging in the surrounding area.
Sensing that something was wrong, Xiao Yichen stopped, and everyone discovered that there were 20 more powerful auras on the demons side. Each of their auras was in the late-stage Gold Core Realm.
Although the righteous cultivators were hundreds of miles away from Ji Lie and the others, their overall strength was not much higher than Ji Lies and the others.
Now that Ji Lies group suddenly had 40 more auras of late-stage Gold Core Realm powerhouses, everyone was stunned. At this juncture, they remembered what Qin Lu had told them back then.
Two teams of the demonic sect entered a place of inheritance belonging to the Demonic Sect. Now, the number of late-stage Gold Core Realm powerhouses that appeared was exactly 40.
This might be Ji Lies hidden trump card. No wonder he retreated with the demons to this exact location. It turned out that he had laid out a trap for them here.
