Chapter 683: Chapter 398: Colluding with Demons! Ambushing the Saint Master!

Boom!!!

Amidst the sky, among the white clouds, a certain object split into two and fell from the heavens!

The two massive pieces crashed into two locations, a thousand feet apart!

The earth trembled because of it!

Rocks and soil scattered in all directions, dust rose and spread everywhere!

"Cough cough..."

The Deputy General of Prince Zhen Nan coughed up blood and struggled to climb out from the remnants of the World Crossing Treasure Ship.

He panted heavily and glanced backwards.

The World Crossing Treasure Ship, having plummeted from a great height, was now shattered.

Beside him, the soldiers who had manned the Treasure Ship were all heavily injured or dead.

Falling from such heights, if it were mere flesh and bone of ordinary humans, they would have long turned to pulp.

Those who came to receive the Saint Master were all elite of the Southern King City, with strong bodies and abundant life force, not lacking in the Qi Refining Realm.

It was uncertain if the Martial Artists of the Refining Essence Realm could survive...but those of the Qi Refining Realm, relying on the external release of True Qi, should be able to withstand the fall’s impact, thereby protecting their bodies.

But as he turned his head back, his heart was shaken, his face turned pale, and he showed a look of sorrow.

In the scattered remains of the World Crossing Treasure Ship, there were limbs everywhere, and the ground was covered in shattered flesh and blood.

Though the impact from the fall wasn’t enough to annihilate them completely...the Treasure Ship was destroyed.

The Formation collapsed, the Treasure Ship disintegrated, and many Magic Artifacts that made up the Ship instantly erupted, capable of piercing through True Qi and penetrating flesh.

There were less than ten fortunate survivors, all severely injured.

Including himself!

"..."

The Deputy General wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked down.

His chest and abdomen had been pierced by a Magic Artifact from the Treasure Ship.

If it weren’t for his Armor, his body might have been cut in two just now.

His expression changed slightly as he looked towards where the other wreckage of the Treasure Ship had fallen.

The Saint Master was on that part of the World Crossing Treasure Ship!

Though the Saint Master’s cultivation and skills far surpassed his own, he still couldn’t quell the worry in his heart.

He could die!

The Saint Master must not die!

In the next moment, he gritted his teeth and headed forward.

But he hadn’t taken a few steps before he stopped.

"Damn it..."

The Deputy General’s heart sank.

He could feel strong Qi Mechanisms from all directions.

There were many Great Demons, and even traces of several Demon Kings.

Looking around the scene, tens of thousands of Human Clan slave corpses piled up into mountains, their blood flowing into rivers, forming bizarre patterns.

This was a Blood Sacrifice Array!

At this moment, he finally understood.

It wasn’t an accident!

Nor was it a mid-course interception!

There had long been an ambush!

His face turned deathly pale.

Among those who had been ordered to place the Guiding Jade...someone colluded with the Demon Domain to set a trap here, intending to bury the Saint Master!

——

Northern Demon Domain.

Prince Zhen Nan put away the Inner Realm Divine Domain.

His expression was complex as he looked back.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were utterly exhausted, and over a hundred had already died from exhaustion.

He himself had expended greatly.

If it weren’t for the Great Liao Saint Master being overly cautious, if he were to launch a comeback, Prince Zhen Nan...would only be able to flee, with no strength to resist.

Though dawn had broken, and the evil spirits had faded.

Yet demons could appear even in the broad daylight.

Numerous Great Demons, and even Demon Kings, and especially Ancestor Blood Heavenly Demons comparable to Human Martial Saints, were enormous threats.

Thus, he dared not venture deeper into the Demon Domain, and could only wait here.

"If all goes well, the World Crossing Treasure Ship should have returned."

Prince Zhen Nan gazed at the ground beneath his feet.

He lifted his foot and stomped heavily.

The ground cracked with a resounding boom.

A fissure, a hundred feet deep.

Buried underground, was a Guiding Jade.

It was a Jade embedded by Secret Techniques, its Qi Mechanisms completely hidden, undetectable by evils.

Even if it were discovered, without the corresponding Secret Techniques, one could only destroy the Guiding Jade, not move it to another location.

"How is it, Prince?" A Qi Refining Realm peak Commander came forward, whispering: "The predetermined hour has arrived, we should retreat!"

"Wait a little longer!"

Prince Zhen Nan’s expression was complex.

He looked at the Guiding Jade, revealing a peculiar expression.

In the next moment, he reached out and took hold of the Guiding Jade, closing his eyes slightly.

The Guiding Jade, its aura restrained, contained a type of Formation within, which could, when activated with Mana, detect the positions of other Guiding Jades.

Moments later, Prince Zhen Nan opened his eyes, saying in a low tone: "Three Guiding Jades along the way have been moved?"

If the Guiding Jades set along the route were destroyed, preventing the World Crossing Treasure Ship from arriving smoothly, it wouldn’t be too surprising.

But being moved, that was worth pondering.

He put down the Guiding Jade, his expression grave, saying: "It seems not everyone in the Holy Alliance wishes for the Saint Master’s arrival either!"

He paused, turning his head and said: "Prepare to retreat from the Demon Domain!"

These tens of thousands of troops entered the Inner Realm Divine Domain of his Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun, becoming the source of his Mana.

Now, these elite are all exhausted, struggling even to lift their swords, let alone form a military array!

At this point, the tens of thousands of troops can no longer be his assistance, nor are they a sharp blade to assault the Demon Domain.

They’ve become nothing more than lambs to the slaughter!

In the current situation, let alone the Great Liao Saint Master returning, even just two Creation Level Demon Kings could hold him, Prince Zhen Nan, back for a moment.

Were there one more ferocious and evil Great Demon, it could annihilate the already exhausted tens of thousands of troops!

He dared not delay any further.

He only looked in the direction of those three Guiding Jades that were moved, his expression extremely solemn.

At this moment, his mind was incredibly conflicted.

In his view, the Human Race Saint Master, blessed with Great Luck, would surely turn danger into safety.
