Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World
Chapter 877: Rescue in Silent Echo Valley

Chapter 877: Rescue in Silent Echo Valley

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

A secretive aura erupted from the south, instantly shattering the tense stalemate.

"It’s the Pixiu’s aura!" Dalamadur nearly jumped in shock, its expression transforming from astonishment to fear as it immediately charged off.

"It’s Wealth’s aura! Why did it suddenly flare up? We have to stop it!" Without thinking further, Amalia’s body reacted before her mind did, rushing out, but Kenny Lin was quicker and blocked her path.

Dalamadur noticed the two humans in its way, their weak cultivation making them seem like ants. Its eyes gleamed with malice. "Get out of the way!"

Peak Master Huoyan was shocked to see the two junior members suddenly appearing to block Dalamadur. Horrified, he rushed out without hesitation. At the last possible moment, he intercepted the powerful force directed at the two juniors. His hasty action sent him flying back.

Amalia and Kenny Lin caught his body quickly. Luckily, the serpent’s attack wasn’t aimed at a powerful opponent, so Peak Master Huoyan’s injuries, though severe, were not fatal.

"We can’t fight Dalamadur—don’t act recklessly," Peak Master Huoyan warned them immediately.

Amalia couldn’t tell him that the one whose aura had flared up was Wealth. The three Pixiu could not fight Dalamadur, so they couldn’t let it get there. Otherwise, only the Pixiu with the breath pearl would survive, and she was sure that one was Wealth.

They couldn’t let Zhar’khaen and the others die. If they did, Wealth wouldn’t survive long either. No one but them knew where the Pixiu’s forbidden land was.

Amalia was starting to regret accepting the breath pearl. Without it, at least the three Pixiu could escape.

"We can’t let them reach the Pixiu. We’re the ones who let it go," Amalia said through voice transmission to Peak Master Huoyan. She added, "Didn’t Green Lotus Sect send stronger reinforcements?"

Peak Master Huoyan, hearing this, finally understood why they acted so rashly. "I don’t know. The Green Lotus Sect’s goal was to stop the conflict. They didn’t want a major clash with the other forces and the demonic beasts here."

This meant they didn’t send any experts in the Body Integration stage to Silent Echo Valley.

"But..." Peak Master Huoyan’s tone shifted.

"But what?" Amalia’s eyes lit up.

"You want to die? Then I’ll grant your wish!" Dalamadur worried the Pixiu would escape, unleashed a wave of murderous intent that enveloped them.

Peak Master Huoyan’s eyes flashed with urgency, and he shouted loudly, "Elder! Are you not going to act?"

The surroundings were silent, with no response.

Could they have guessed wrong?

This thought crossed the minds of both Amalia and Kenny Lin, and even Peak Master Huoyan couldn’t help but wonder the same. Dalamadur, hearing his shout, momentarily stopped, thinking that a powerful Green Lotus Sect member might be nearby. But when no movement occurred and no expert appeared, the serpent realized it had been tricked. A surge of rage filled the air.

"Die!"

Dalamadur coldly spat the word as its body expanded dozens of times, revealing its massive true form that loomed over them. The darkness seemed to fall as it opened its gigantic jaws, spewing out a beam of green light that shot rapidly toward Peak Master Huoyan and Amalia.

"Go quickly! I can only hold it off for a moment," Peak Master Huoyan said, pushing Amalia and Kenny Lin backward.

Amalia hesitated, torn between leaving and staying. If they left and Peak Master Huoyan died because of her, how could she face the rest of the Green Lotus Sect later?

Just then, a soft sigh echoed from the sky above.

"Looks like I made it in time."

An invisible, powerful force suddenly spread out like a net, enveloping the green beam. The beam hit the net and, after traveling a short distance, dissipated before it could reach Peak Master Huoyan or Amalia.

"Who’s there?!" Dalamadur was shocked. Although it hadn’t used its full power, the attack had been at least 70-80% of its strength—enough to challenge most cultivators in the Body Integration stage. Yet this person had effortlessly neutralized it, meaning they were no ordinary cultivator.

"It’s the Sixth Elder!" Peak Master Huoyan, seeing this, was overjoyed. His guess had been correct—the sect leader had indeed sent an elder to protect Amalia and Kenny Lin, though they hadn’t been informed. And it turned out to be Elder Tan.

When Yeonseon Yang and the others heard Peak Master Huoyan’s words, their expressions shifted slightly. The elders of the Green Lotus Sect were famous throughout the major sects.

No one could have imagined that the Green Lotus Sect would send the Sixth Elder, one of the ten most powerful elders, for the Pixiu. It was said that this elder was nearing the Mahayana stage.

Just for a few Pixiu? The Green Lotus Sect wasn’t even competing for them, yet they sent the Sixth Elder. Did the Green Lotus Sect have another motive? Or perhaps Silent Echo Valley held something even more valuable to them, and the Pixiu was just a cover?

The group couldn’t help but speculate. Otherwise, it was hard to believe that such a powerful elder would travel all this way just to protect a few juniors. Who would believe that? No one.

Yet sometimes, the most unbelievable things are the truth.

The Sixth Elder’s calm gaze fell on Peak Master Huoyan, then subtly shifted to Amalia and Kenny Lin. He nodded slightly. To the onlookers, it seemed he was nodding to Huoyan Huasheng, but only a few people knew the truth.

Peak Master Huoyan felt reassured. The Sixth Elder was indeed here for Amalia and Kenny Lin.

"Who are you?" Dalamadur who is feeling humiliated by the repeated challenges to its authority, glared angrily at the human cultivator before him.

"I am Tan Kai. Dalamadur, I don’t care about your grudge with the Pixiu, but for a Body Integration stage being to attack the juniors of my sect, you owe Green Lotus Sect an explanation," Tan Kai said, calmly but firmly, as he looked at the enraged serpent.
