Chapter 415: Gu Qingyang's Death
"Traitors! You were nurtured and cultivated by the Sect to reach the cultivation level you have today. At this critical moment of life and death, you choose to betray the Sect," Zhou Shiqi angrily scolded, brandishing his magical weapon and unleashing a fierce attack. "Fellow disciples, join me in eliminating these traitors!"
Several Golden Core cultivators responded with determination, preparing to launch attacks against the Black Tortoise Hall Master, vowing to cleanse the Sect.
However, there were also a few who remained silent, clearly moved by the words spoken earlier.
At this moment, the Black Tortoise Hall Master spoke again, "Senior Brother Zhou, we were all part of the same sect, and I didn't want to make things difficult for you either. However, among this group, most are the Sect's finest Alchemists and experts in refining tools, Talisman Making, formations, and various other fields. Our leader has already made a decision and hopes to keep you here. I have no choice but to offend you."
With that, he gestured, and, along with two other Golden Core cultivators, charged towards the crowd. Some Foundation Building cultivators in their group even turned against Zhou Shiqi and his followers.
Before they could successfully break through, infighting broke out within the Human Clan, causing the Demonic Beasts to hesitate and not immediately encircle them. Only a few unruly young Demonic Beasts rushed into the fray, indiscriminately attacking both sides.
After a short battle, the Black Tortoise Hall Master and his group gradually found themselves at a disadvantage. After all, those willing to surrender were in the minority.
The third-tier Demonic Beasts from the Demon Clan had no intention of helping either side, so the Black Tortoise Hall Master could only order a retreat, leading a group of people away from the battlefield.
For Zhou Shiqi and his group, the immediate priority was to break free from the encirclement. They had no energy to pursue the traitors, so they could only watch them leave.
After the Black Tortoise Hall Master's group departed, other Demonic Beasts closed in on them.
Now, their strength had significantly diminished, and nearly half of their group were not skilled in combat, including Master Mei from the Pill Hall. They had never needed to engage in battles before, despite their high cultivation levels.
At this point, Gu Qingyang and another Golden Core cultivator led the way, with the protection of a dozen or so Flying Boats, maintaining a steady pace forward.
Wang Hong and the others had also arrived, joining Gu Yuan, who had arrived earlier, and they pushed their way from the outer periphery towards the center.
Although their group consisted of only a little over ten thousand people, their strength was considerable. They had three Golden Core cultivators, several hundred Foundation Building cultivators, and seven medium-sized Flying Boats flying above.
Sloppy Old Daoist and Gu Yuan took the lead in clearing the way, while Yi Huai was responsible for the surroundings, gradually approaching the Qingxu Sect's group in the front.
The Qingxu Sect cultivators, upon seeing reinforcements, regained their spirits and pushed forward with renewed determination.
