Chapter 1081: The Battle for Survival

That Mahayana stage cultivator didn’t attempt to resist.

His aura quickly vanished, and it seemed he had either fled or hidden again.

"Master Lian has come!" Peak Master Fengzhu Huayao and the Peak Master Bomen Huaguo were overjoyed.

They had thought it would be good enough if a Mahayana stage elder showed up, but to their surprise, their Master Lian had personally come.

It was no wonder, given that one of the disciples trapped here was their Master Lian’s student.

"It’s rare to see so many Mahayana stage cultivators. And that attacker targeting the Nine Heaven Pixiu’s Forbidden Grounds—do you know who it was? The aura is unfamiliar," one of them asked.

"Perhaps it’s an ancient hidden expert?" another speculated.

"Maybe. But it’s strange that Wanhua Yun and Daehan Zhang have come, yet no one else from other sects has sent people until now?" As they were speaking, an overwhelming presence suddenly surged from all directions, growing closer and closer.

Countless oppressive auras descended swiftly.

Most of the cultivators had already fled far away, but those who hadn’t run were immediately pinned to the ground, their faces turned ashen as their spiritual energy flow out.

"It seems like at least six or seven Mahayana stage cultivators have arrived. As for the devils, it looks like there are only two Emperor level Devils from earlier."

Amalia furrowed her brows slightly, sensing something wasn’t right.

"If these devils had planned this from the beginning, they wouldn’t have only sent two. Either they’re planning for a human internal struggle, or there are more devils lurking nearby," Kenny Lin said.

"The latter seems highly likely. I suspect they’re targeting Master Lian," Amalia said, her expression cold.

Master Lian wasn’t at the Mahayana stage; he was a Tribulation Stage cultivator, one who was almost at the top of the pyramid, unable to advance further.

Because there was no Immortal Realm to ascend to, those who broke through would likely fall.

Many hidden experts chose not to break through, even suppressing their cultivation levels.

No one knew exactly how many tribulations Master Lian had endured, but many believed it couldn’t be many more.

If he was forced into a tribulation, the devils’ goal would be achieved.

"Look, even though we came secretly, there’s no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Someone will always find out. Master Lian wouldn’t allow them to act against us, so he had no choice but to step in," Amalia continued.

"With that, our Master will be at odds with everyone. Other sects, rogue cultivators, and devils won’t allow Green Lotus Sect to monopolize the Nine Heaven Pixiu’s treasures and rise to power again," Kenny Lin said, his eyes filled with cold resolve.

"There’s someone manipulating everything behind the scenes."

The three Pixiu, who had been silent, suddenly seemed to understand.

They now realized why Amalia hadn’t immediately contacted the people from Green Lotus Sect, but had chosen to come here alone with Kenny Lin.

The three of them couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt, especially Zhar’khaen.

He remembered the words he had said before coming here, and now he felt unworthy.

How could he face them?

The Green Lotus Sect had never owed them anything.

"I’m sorry, we didn’t know that someone was using us to scheme against Master Lian." Zhar’khaen walked up to Amalia and Kenny Lin and knelt, but Amalia stopped him from doing so.

"We didn’t expect it either, but even if we had known, Kenny and I would still have made the same choice."

It wasn’t for some noble cause, but simply because Wealth was their family.

From the very beginning, when they had followed Zhar’khaen without hesitation, they had already realized this.

"You don’t need to blame yourselves. Even if I hadn’t sent word to the sect, the behind-the-scenes mastermind would have found a way to make Master Lian aware of this," Amalia comforted them.

Gor’kan paused for a moment, then spoke, "There is one way now, the one we just mentioned. We go out and draw all their attention. At least we can draw a few of them away, and that would lessen the pressure on Master Lian. If we’re lucky, maybe we can draw away ninety percent of the Mahayana experts."

"In that case, you will surely die," Amalia said.

"As long as the Young Master is safe, the hope for the Nine Heaven Pixiu will remain. Our deaths are worth it," Gor’kan said with a firm expression, as if he had already accepted his fate.

"We feel the same way," Zhar’khaen and Vryss’laar said in unison.

Kenny Lin tossed the Sky Viewing Mirror to them. "Since that’s the case, you can take this Sky Viewing Mirror. It doesn’t serve much of a purpose with me anyway."

"This won’t do. The Sky Viewing mirror was given to you as a reward. We can’t just take it back," Gor’kan said, immediately refusing.

"You think it’s free? It was lent to you," Kenny Lin said impatiently. "I’m most bothered by this kind of thing. You better think this through."

"I’ll lend you the Inverse Emperor Bell too..."

"No!"

Before Amalia could finish her sentence, the three of them rejected her in unison.

"We can accept the Sky Viewing Mirror since it’s a loan, but the Inverse Emperor Bell is not ours. Even if it’s a loan, we can’t accept it with peace of mind."

They were not only being saved but were also expected to accept a gift in return.

This was unheard of.

"The Inverse Emperor Bell isn’t free. Even a loan requires interest. As long as you don’t return it, I’ll take one of the treasures you left behind. In fact, you’re the ones who’ve lost out, and I’m the one profiting," Amalia said with a grin.

Gor’kan hesitated for a moment, then said, "But if we’re getting caught or killed, the Inverse Emperor Bell will be taken by them, and you may never get it back. We can’t take this risk."
