Realm-Hopping Martial Master

"Daoist Monarch Dayuan, take care. We shall take our leave first."

With these hurried words, and without waiting for any response, the True Inheritor led the others to immediately set off, hastily preparing to leave.

A quick glance around revealed that besides the True Inheritors of the True Martial Sect, the disciples of other sects all shared the same thoughts, and immediately grew restless.

Even Zong Yue, the First True Inheritor of the Eight Great Sects, who has comprehended four Great Daos, is not a match for the Demon Sect and Demon Race.

What can they do?

Once inside this Ancient Demon Sect Relic, everything will depend on themselves.

If the peaks of the Vientiane Realm in each sect, or the supreme beings of the Chaos Hole Realm could take action, there would be no need for these peak True Monarchs of the Nirvana Realm to risk their lives here.

Lu Chong was already aware that this Demon Sect Relic was a game laid out by the supremes of the sects!

Seeing the group instantly break apart, with each sect's True Inheritors hastily fleeing for their lives, a True Inheritor of the True Martial Sect felt dissatisfied and loudly shouted:

"With a great enemy before us, this is the time to unite and face it together. How can you lose heart before the battle!"

However, regarding his admonishment, the True Inheritors of each sect seemed not to hear, and even moved faster, delving into the gorge's black mist with a breath, fleeing toward the exit of the relic.

Even those True Inheritors still comprehending the Great Dao in the Inheritance Hall were forcibly awakened by their sect brothers.

Those individuals were at a critical juncture in their cultivation, and having been suddenly interrupted, they were furious. But as they were about to erupt, they were first informed of that shocking news, and their expressions immediately changed drastically, their rage dissipating instantly.

Without a moment's hesitation, they quickly fled with their sect mates.

Meanwhile, Lu Chong stood with his hands behind his back, watching the silhouettes of his peers dispersing and fleeing, and did not intervene to stop them.

Firstly, he knew that his prestige was insufficient, and even if he stepped forward, it would not have any effect.

Secondly, the True Inheritors of each sect were clearly terrified by the news brought back by Wu Ya, having lost the will to fight and being deeply disturbed. Even if they stayed, they could not unite as one and would instead become a weak point for others to exploit.

"Daoist Monarch Dayuan, I..."

Seeing that his mere words had caused such a division in the group, Wu Ya couldn't help but feel a sense of shame, looking apologetically towards Lu Chong, trying to say something.

But as soon as he started, Lu Chong interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Junior Brother Wu, you should leave with the Hidden Sword Sect as well. At such a critical moment, it indeed is wise to gather strength. Daoist Monarch Qingtian might have suffered a temporary loss, but it doesn't mean our Eight Great Sects are utterly defeated in this Ancient Demon Sect Relic."

Casually comforting Wu Ya, Lu Chong's eyes swept over the faces of his fellow disciples. In this perilous moment, a gentle smile slowly emerged on his face,

"Luckily, among my True Martial Sect disciples, there are none who fear battle."

His words were like a spring breeze that washed away the unease in everyone's hearts, replacing it with a strong sense of battle readiness.

If Jiang Shu were here, he would surely be impressed by Lu Chong's open and candid nature. Being recognized as the great senior brother of the True Martial Sect, his personal charisma goes without saying.

"Daoist Monarch Dayuan, what should we do next to respond to the Demon Sect and Demon Race, as the location of this Great Tomb will soon be exposed?"

Hearing his fellow disciple's inquiry, Lu Chong pondered slightly, a glint flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"In my view, there are still uncertainties in this relic. We don't need to reveal ourselves yet; let's wait and see what happens."

Though he spoke thus, Lu Chong clearly had other plans in mind.

In fact, the uncertainty he referred to was Jiang Shu.

After entering the Vientiane Realm, he had secretly compared himself to Jiang Shu and vaguely felt that Jiang Shu's strength far surpassed his, even exceeding Zong Yue. Moreover, after such a long time, Jiang Shu's realm was more stable, and his strength would surely continue to grow.

If he were here, even if the True Martial Sect were to face Qiu Taoguang directly, there would definitely be a chance!

Earlier, when he parted with Jiang Shu, Lu Chong saw that Jiang Shu seemed to have other matters to attend to, so he did not hastily lead people to look for him, merely waiting for Jiang Shu to finish his affairs and return to meet with them.

What he needed to do was to protect his fellow disciples until then, preventing them from falling into the hands of the Demon Sect and Demon Race!

"According to Wu Ya's account, Qiu Taoguang, who has successfully entered the Vientiane Realm, and that Lord Heavenly Phoenix are the most troublesome on the side of the Demon Sect and Demon Race. With my current strength in the Inner Circle of this Demon Sect Relic, as long as I don't encounter those two, I should be able to protect myself."

"This place will soon be exposed, so let's first lead the team away to find another place to stay. Once Jiang completes his matters, we'll regroup with him and discuss strategies to break the impasse."

His eyes slightly flickering, it took only a moment for Lu Chong to form a plan in his mind, his tightly knitted brows gradually relaxing.

Once Jiang Shu returned, with the joint efforts of their brotherhood, there was no saying they couldn't stand against Qiu Taoguang and the like. It was still too early to talk of giving up now.

Moreover, given that Zong Yue was defeated by Qiu Taoguang, the Demon Sect and Demon Race were now all the more arrogant. They would certainly recklessly search for the Eight Great Sects' teams indiscriminately. On the current path back from the Inner Circle, there might already be people lurking in ambush, waiting like foxes for rabbits.

They would wait for the fleeing Eight Great Sects' people to pass through and then launch a massacre to wipe them out.
