Chapter 69 -65: Trapped in the Mountain
Thick smoke billowed in all directions, making it impossible to distinguish north from south, east from west. It was the perfect time for them to unleash their hidden weapons. Despite their vast numbers, the disciples of the Evil Domain had no choice but to retreat due to the overwhelming onslaught. Meanwhile, the people of Immortal City released the Giant Immortal Beast to lead the way. With the help of the Immortal Beasts, they began to break out towards the periphery, pushing forward in a powerful wave.
As the white smoke thickened, the disciples of the Evil Domain were unable to pinpoint their targets. Even though they possessed the Iron Rhinoceros, the people of Immortal City managed to avoid its powerful charge by taking advantage of the dense smoke.
Ren Xiongbei gathered everyone on the right side, seizing the opportunity in the confusion when the Evil Domain disciples were still unaware from which direction they were planning to break out. They quickly managed to open up a breach in the encirclement.
Utilizing the dense smoke as cover, Ren Xiongbei hurriedly led Ye Xue and the others out. As anticipated, they successfully managed to break out.
However, Shi Tuo quickly figured out their actions and realized they were breaking out from the right side. He urgently assembled his men to surround them, preparing to force them back into the encirclement.
At this point, Peng Zhijie quickly decided to hold back with a group of people and released all the Immortal Beasts and Winged Dragons they had. They fiercely resisted Shi Tuo’s forces. He knew if they attempted to escape and didn’t leave people behind to cover their rear, probably no one would escape. It was crucial that some stayed behind; otherwise, none would make it out.
The white smoke was still intense, and they fought hard to provide an opportunity for Ren Xiongbei and others to escape.
Ye Xue turned around and noticed Peng Zhijie wasn’t following. She cried, “What about them?” but quickly understood the situation.
At this point, Ren Xiongbei couldn’t spare any more thought. Just being able to lead them out of there was already remarkable enough. He couldn’t possibly afford to consider anything else.
“We’re leaving them behind?” Ye Xue asked in distress.
“It’s not that we are abandoning them. Right now, all we can do is to leave some people behind to stall the enemy, otherwise, none of us will get out. Hurry, don’t bother and go,” he commanded.
“No, we can’t do that. We can’t leave those people behind.”
“Go, don’t worry about it, move quickly,” he urged, having someone drag Ye Xue along. They ran forward, directly charging into the depths of the dense forest, the sounds of the fierce battle growing distant behind them. They couldn’t attend to anything else anymore.
Having realized what was happening, Sheng Kong leaped into the air, carrying Shi Tuo and Huan Huo and flew out. Peng Zhijie, whose martial arts were not that high, was taking care of a dozen disciples along with a group of Immortal Beasts. How could he possibly resist Sheng Kong?
With one palm strike, Sheng Kong sent the mid-air Peng Zhijie flying towards the edge of the cliff, while the other disciples were massacred in an instant.
After a brief moment of quiet, Huan Huo spoke, “They’ve already escaped into the forest. Should we give chase?”
By then, two hours had passed since Ren Xiongbei’s distress signal, and night had fallen.

Sheng Kong replied, “Chase. Catch Ren Xiongbei and the mother and son. I intentionally chose this remote forest because I believed that the people from the realm of the Immortal Beasts and Demons wouldn’t find us too quickly.”
Huan Huo added, “They’ve already sent out a distress signal. I know there is a town nearby with some inhabitants who are disciples of the realms of the Immortal Beasts and Demons.”
Hearing this, Shi Tuo laughed and reassured them, “Don’t worry, I’ve been to that little town before. It’s small and may indeed have some disciples from the realm of the Immortal Beasts and Demons, but gathering dozens of people at once is impossible. Also, even if they did manage to organize dozens of people to come, it would take them at least six hours to get here. Are we really short of people now?”
Agreeing with this, Sheng Kong ordered, “Release the Winged Dragons. Find those people who escaped into the forest. They don’t have many people left.”
Night had fallen, and Ren Xiongbei said, “We’ve already sent out our distress call. I estimate that the people from the Evil Domain won’t dare to linger here for long. We must venture deeper into this forest. The deeper and longer we stay hidden, the safer we will be. I’ve faith that disciples from the realm of the Immortal Beasts and Demons will come to help us.”
One disciple said, “There’s a small town nearby. There should be disciples from the realm of the Immortal Beasts and Demons there. They will definitely see our distress signal and try to make their way here. They certainly will.”
“Correct. Therefore, the people from the Evil Domain won’t dare to stay here for long. They’re afraid we’ll know about their entry into the Central Plains and that we’ll surround them.” As Ren Xiongbei spoke, he found himself increasingly short of breath.
The forest was becoming denser, making travel difficult. They dared not light a fire due to fear that the glow would attract attention from the Winged Dragons in the sky. They were worried that their tracks would be detected and they would be subjected to ambushes and poisoned food.
They had to hurry and penetrate deeper into the forest.
As it happened, the people of the Withered Leaf Sect were nearby. In a small town near the mountain, Sect Leader of the Withered Leaf Sect, Guan Yi, was leading two dozen disciples to Crane City. They were there to discuss recent events when a distress signal suddenly appeared from the northwest mountain.
A disciple rushed back and reported, “Master, it’s a distress signal from Immortal City.”
“A distress signal? Which direction?”
“It seems to be from the West Mountain.”
“Quickly, gather all the disciples of the realms of Immortal Beasts and Demons in this small town. We need to go to West Mountain to see what’s happening.” said Guan Yi.
Quickly led by Guan Yi, within an hour, the disciples of the Immortal and Demon Domains were organized.
He gathered dozens of people and headed towards West Mountain, where Winged Dragons were already seen attacking each other in the sky. The thunderous roars and billowing smoke were even reaching them.
Guan Yi was somewhat confused. He wondered why the people of the Immortal City would be attacked here.
Guan Yi quickly sent his disciples and Winged Dragons ahead. However, they were still quite far. The disciples who returned reported, “It’s the disciples of Immortal City who are being attacked by demons from the Evil Domain.”
“Do they know the reason?” Guan Yi asked.
“It’s still unclear for now, but a lot of people have died. They have broken through the encirclement and fled into the dense forests on the mountain.”
“Who is leading the Immortal City Sect?”
“It should be Ren Xiongbei, but his senior disciple has been killed.”
“How many demons from the Evil Domain are there?”
“Definitely more than a hundred. They have also rushed into the forest.”
“Damn it, what do these demons want? Are they really just out to kill Ren Xiongbei on such a large-scale!” Guan Yi was starting to feel puzzled.
“It seems that the people from Evil Domain have indeed entered the Central Plains, it’s not a fraud. We must hurry to their aid, otherwise, Ren Xiongbei could be in danger.”
After listening, Guan Yi nodded, picked up a torch, and said, “Remember, there are over a hundred disciples from the Evil Domain. We should help Ren Xiongbei, not on a death battle with them. First, we have to rescue Ren Xiongbei.” He then commanded his disciples to lead a few men ahead for a reconnaissance.
They lit a torch, and soon Sheng Kong from the Evil Domain discovered them.
Shi Tuo said, “It looks like it’s Guan Yi of Withered Wood Sect. He has brought a large group of people from the Immortal and Demon Domains. There seem to be sixty or seventy people.”
Huan Huo asked, “Should we still go into the forest to look for them? It doesn’t seem easy.”
“But they are not many in number.”
“But if we have to deal with them and look for Ren Xiongbei at the same time, it doesn’t seem easy. Moreover, it’s getting dark.”
At this time, one of Shi Tuo’s disciples came back and reported, “We have found traces of Ren Xiongbei and group. Even though they do not illuminate torches, we managed to discover them.”
Shi Tuo said, “Here’s the plan, I’ll stay behind with a group of men to hold off Guan Yi and his group. You guys should go find Ren Xiongbei and see if you can catch them.”
Sheng Kong turned around, finally reaching this place, he did not want to give up this opportunity. Even though it was dark, there was still a chance to capture Ren Xiongbei and Ye Xue.
Shi Tuo added, “I can buy you two hours. Since you’ve found them, capture them as quickly as possible. If you can’t, we’ll retreat and think of other ways.”
Sheng Kong nodded and said, “Alright, you lead a team to hold them off as long as you can. I will find them as soon as possible.”
Shi Tuo immediately led around forty to fifty people out.
Sheng Kong quickly led Huan Huo, according to the location reported by his men, and charged into the forest.
Guan Yi led a large group of people and advanced towards the mountain. However, Shi Tuo led a large group of people and intercepted them halfway, instantly engaging them in a fight.
After a while, the people from the Evil Domain weren’t many, but it wasn’t easy to get rid of them easily. They were suddenly held back.
This left Guan Yi not knowing what to do, but he quickly realized that they just wanted to hold them back and prevent them from moving forward.
Guan Yi’s senior disciple ran up to him and said, “This isn’t working, we are finding it hard to shake them off. It’s too hard. We might not have a chance even after being in a stalemate for four hours.”
Guan Yi became anxious and shouted, “Regardless of the method, we must shake these people off. The people ahead are in danger. Come up with a way. We must find a way. Anyone with a good idea, come forward and speak.”
