Originally, there were still more than a dozen cultivators of the Transformation and dozens of cultivators of the Robber Transformation, and there were even hundreds of cultivators under the Robber Transformation. In this short period of time, there were only a few large sects left, such as Qing Meng Zhai, Xuan Bing Sect, Piaomiao Immortal Pond and Tian Xing Sect. However, there were still five or six small sects under eight stars, and the rest were just some spontaneous scattered cultivators who had stayed behind. As for the Xuan Bing Sect and the Piaomiao Immortal Pond not leaving, everyone could guess that it was because of Luo Ying and Ning Qing Xue.
There were only two cultivators left from Qing Meng Zhai, one from Xuan Bing Sect, plus Ji Endow, and the rest were all cultivators under the Robber Transformation or Robber Transformation.
“Senior Sister Master, did I do wrong?” Seeing so many cultivators leaving, Sun Bing Lan’s eyes showed disappointment as she turned to ask another female cultivator of the Qing Meng Zhai who had transformed into a true cultivator.
The cultivator who was called Master Sister said with a faint smile, “Senior sister, if you feel it is right, you should go ahead and do it. There is no right and wrong in this world, only what should be done and what should not be done. If you feel that you should do this, then it is right. If Master Moming thinks he shouldn’t do it, it’s not necessarily wrong either. A person who cultivates the Dao is just being true to his heart.”
“Thank you for your teaching, Bing Lan understands.” A glimmer of enlightenment appeared in Sun Bing Lan’s eyes, and she felt that her state of mind had once again risen a notch.
She breathed out and said to the rest of the cultivators, “If you are willing to join me in resisting the flames of the Flaming Sea, please remain here, and if not, Bing Lan will not think you are doing anything wrong.”
“Please instruct Elder Shan, as long as we are not desperate yet, we will not leave here. We believe in Sect Leader Shan and Elder Shan, and we believe that City Master Ye will surely have a way to exterminate the Spirit Devouring Insects to come here in time.” Several cultivators under the Cultivation Tripod replied in a scattered manner, but not a single cultivator left again.
Although most of the cultivators in the cultivation world were selfish, there were some who simply did not care about life and death. They understood that with the demise of the Southern An Continent, they had no way out at all, and rather than die in the Heartless Sea, they would be better off looking for that sliver of a chance now. Of course there were some cultivators who stayed behind because of their fanatical admiration and respect for Ye Mo.
Sun Bing Lan’s heart suddenly warmed up, she suddenly felt that she was too narrow-minded, even in the cultivation world. There were also countless cultivators who were willing to die for others.
“Senior Ji. Let’s set up another defensive formation here, and the three of us, Senior Sister and I and the Xuan Bing Sect’s Hua Zhen Elder, will break off and protect this formation. Senior Ji and the rest of the cultivators will retreat fifty miles and set up one last defensive formation.”
Just as Sun Bing Lan finished speaking, a ‘boom’ explosion was heard as the defensive formation in front of them suddenly burst open. Immediately, endless terrifying flames erupted, gushing towards the crowd in a frenzy. The speed was incomparably swift, and it had surged through half the distance in almost an instant. Before the flames arrived, the terrifying scorching heat was already sweeping through, and cultivators with lesser cultivation levels already felt a dizzying sensation.
“Not good, everyone quickly retreat to a safe place, it’s too late to set up the formation ……” shouted Ji endowment. He couldn’t have imagined that the defensive formation in front of him would only last for less than two pillars of incense. According to their experience, a defensive formation should last at least half a day. They could have set up another defence formation in that half a day, but the sudden collapse of the formation in front of them had broken his plan.
The flames of this Flaming Sea Forbidden Land were like great water stopped by a dam, once it collapsed, the flames were wildly spiralling out, it was just too swift. Cultivators above Condensed Body were a little better off, while those below Condensed Body could not even retreat in time.
Ji endowment grabbed the two Void God cultivators and was about to fly backwards to leave the place. Just then, he saw a purple light slash straight down.
“Boom ……”
The purple light and the flames of the Flame Sea Forbidden Land completely collided together. A dull ringing sound erupted, and the flames that had burst out madly. Surprisingly, it was blocked by this purple mane as it split off raw.
Only then did all the people react, and they immediately saw Ye Mo who was standing next to the Flame Sea Forbidden Flame. The chopper that Ye Mo was using had already transformed into a huge blade that was a thousand feet long, and this blade happened to block the gap in the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land. Immediately afterwards, Ye Mo sacrificed dozens of formation flags and threw them out, and the formation flags, together with the purple circulating, soon made the roaring sea of fire settle down.
“City Lord Ye is here ……”
Almost at the same time, all the cultivators who had survived death were overjoyed. But when the crowd understood, they all froze in a whirlwind, Ye Mo was also a Transformation True cultivator, so why could he stand next to the flames without any problems at all?
And only then did a green shadow land in the middle of the crowd, the green moon stopped and Thousand Bit Sect Leader and Du Xiuying walked out.
“Thousand-bit Sect Leader, are you alright?” Ji You and Shan Bing Lan asked almost simultaneously.
Thousand Bit said with some embarra*sment, “Fortunately, Lord Ye City arrived just in time to exterminate the spirit-devouring insects within a thousand miles, and then saved the cultivators of my Vajra Temple and Ice Sword Sect. I didn’t help much, it was really hard for City Lord Ye to exterminate hundreds of millions of Sand Soul Beasts, then go and exterminate thousands of miles of Spirit Devouring Bugs, and then rush here.”
Although there were not many people present, all of them were shocked to hear Thousand Bit’s words. Spirit-devouring insects were not ordinary ordinary insects, and one person could exterminate endless Spirit-devouring insects over a thousand miles? Besides, since when were there hundreds of millions of Sand Soul Beasts? But everyone here knew that Thousand Bit would never lie. If he said there were, then there were.
Earlier, when many people heard Mo Ming say that the Spirit Devouring Bugs of the Ice Sword Sect had a range of a thousand miles, they thought that Mo Ming was making an excuse for leaving, but now they realised that Mo Ming’s words were not half exaggerated, and that it was actually true that there was a range of a thousand miles.
Whether it was the hundreds of millions of sand soul beasts or the thousand-mile range of the spirit-devouring insects, they were all terrifying existences that they couldn’t even think about, and Ye Mo was actually able to exterminate these? How heaven defying should Ye Mo be then?
Only then did Sun Bing Lan remember Ye Mo who was blocking the flames and immediately reacted, hurriedly turning back in horror, only to find that Ye Mo had already walked over slowly, the endless sea of flames being blocked by just one of his choppers plus a few formation flags.
“City Lord Ye is truly peerless, I am afraid that even senior Chu Jiuyu back then was slightly inferior. What City Lord Ye has done for the South An Continent, I don’t think any cultivator in the South An Continent will forget.” Ye Mo was just about to greet Shan Bing Lan and Ji Endow when a female cultivator came up to greet him first.
This was a cultivator of the ninth level of the True Transformation, with a beautiful appearance that made it impossible to tell what her actual age was. A light green daoist robe was worn on her body, completely covering her figure.
Seeing that the Daoist robe she was wearing was from the Qing Meng Zhai, although Ye Mo had not seen her before, he guessed that the female cultivator in front of him was probably the presiding officer of the Qing Meng Zhai, Shan Yu Coix, who was also Shan Bing Lan’s senior sister. Without waiting for Shan Binglan to introduce him, Ye Mo hurriedly returned the greeting with a fist and said, “Ye Mo meets Senior Shan of Qing Meng Zhai, thank you for staying here to guard the Flame Sea Forbidden Land.”
Shan Yu Cai smiled faintly and did not say anything more polite.
However, Shan Bing Lan came over and grabbed Ye Mo’s hand excitedly and said, “Ye Mo, I didn’t expect that you could cut off the flame of the Flame Sea Forbidden Land with a single slash, and before that, you also exterminated thousands of miles of Spirit Devouring Insects and hundreds of millions of Sand Soul Beasts. Thank you, Shan Bing Lan thanks you for everything you have done for my Southern An Continent.”
Ye Mo did not expect Shan Bing Lan to be so excited, he had never seen Shan Bing Lan get this excited before. All along, Shan Bing Lan had always been the kind of person who would just smile or say a few more words even if she was excited. But at this time, she even grabbed her own hand.
“Master, you’ve grabbed Master Ye City’s hand.” Ling Xiaoshen saw Ye Mo’s embarra*sment and hurriedly came over to remind him.
Sun Bing Lan immediately noticed her outburst, and she hurriedly dropped her hand, still excited beyond belief. Apparently what Ye Mo did was nothing compared to her losing her temper and grabbing Ye Mo’s hand.
“Senior Ye ……”
“King Ye Dan ……”
“Ye City Master ……”
At this point the rest of the cultivators came to greet Ye Mo one by one with respect, no one was not excited at this point. With the loss of Nan’an Continent, there would be no place for them to survive. If Ye Mo saved Nan’an Continent, it would be the same as saving them. Moreover, they were sure that Ye Mo could block the outbreak of the Flame Sea Forbidden Land flames.
What could be more convincing than the fact that the Flaming Sea flames that a dozen Transformation Cultivators here and dozens of Robber Transformation Cultivators could not stop, Ye Mo came and stopped with a single slash?
All the cultivators who greeted Ye Mo carried excitement and unspeakable emotions, fortunately they didn’t leave, if they did, the future deed of fighting side by side with Lord Ye City to exterminate the Flame Sea Forbidden Land would not have been theirs.
Some of the cultivators even showed pride and a look of concern, just waiting for Ye Mo to seal the flames of the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land, and then they would use the crystal ball to record that they had also contributed their efforts in the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land.
Although Ye Mo was puzzled as to how there were only this many cultivators here, he still greeted them one by one. Yan Guan was equally elated in his heart, and after he saw Ye Mo slash through the flames that were wildly gushing out of the Flame Sea Forbidden Land, he knew that he had done the right thing by staying here.
Almost at the same time, Yan Guan and Hou Fei Xianzi of the Piaomiao Immortal Pond came together to greet Ye Mo, and Ji Shu Ye, the head of the Heavenly Star Sect, also came over to greet Ye Mo.
Only after everyone had finished greeting him did Ye Mo ask in confusion, “Why are these the only people here? Where are the rest of the people?”
It was agreed that he and Thousand Bit would go and exterminate the Sand Soul Beast and the Spirit Devouring Insect, and the rest of the people would be here to seal off the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land for fifteen days to prevent the Flaming Sea Flames from spreading out. Why was this the only point for the people here after he had exterminated the Sand Soul Beast and the Spirit Devouring Insect to come over?
Ling Xiaoshen coldly snorted and said, “Those greedy guys, my master said to hold this place for fifteen days, those people heard that the spirit-devouring insects from the thousand-mile range had come, what with another saying that the former sects of Vajra Temple had all been devoured by the spirit-devouring insects. They all proposed the idea of evacuating out of Nan’an Continent and hiding in the Heartless Sea, but only my master disagreed. The cultivators who stayed here were all thinking the same as my master, there were countless lives on the South An Continent besides us cultivators, my master said that we couldn’t just leave here so irresponsibly.”
Those cultivators who stayed behind, after hearing Ling Xiaoxiang’s words, felt that they had spoken to their hearts, and even felt their backs straighten a little in general.
