As the words fell, although these disciples were somewhat unwilling, they realized everything was for the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, and thus they came to terms with it...
Everyone first returned to their own residences and changed out of the sect's attire before reappearing...
Moreover, they all used their Martial Souls as much as possible, trying their best to transport the piled corpses of abyssal creatures toward the nearest soul beast forest...
Watching these disciples gradually depart, this Elder seemed to have thought of something, resting his chin as he spoke,
"Sending out so many disciples at once is probably quite risky; encountering abyssal creatures midway wouldn't be good!"
"It's better to remind the Sect Master to have either Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo accompany them!"
As soon as his words fell, Chen Xin appeared beside them without any warning, "No need, I'm already here."
What the former was considering, how could they not have considered it!
The Elder first looked surprised, then calmed down, "Sword Douluo, it will be up to you to protect these disciples. The abyssal creature corpses are too large, I'll summon some disciples to help with the transport!"
Relying solely on these few disciples, who knows how long it would take to finish transporting them; the night is long and fraught with dreams, it's best to gather more people!
Chen Xin glanced at him without saying much, nodding to signal "Alright, go ahead, but be sure to be cautious not to give the abyssal creatures lurking within the sect any opportunity!"
It's hard to say whether those lurking abyssal creatures might take advantage to do something, and although it wouldn't have major effects, if they target the warehouse or other places, it could still cause significant trouble!
As these words fell, the Elder also turned and left...
And Chen Xin withdrew his gaze, burst out at speed, and rushed out...
In addition, he released a huge amount of spiritual power to lock onto the disciples ahead...
Should anything unexpected occur, he could provide support at any moment...
...
Xu Sheng, about to reach Martial Soul City, looked back at the rear...
With an impatient expression, he said, "You dark little fellows really are persistent!"
Though these abyssal creatures hidden in the dark hadn't yet made a move against him, the feeling of being constantly watched wasn't easily tolerable!!
Especially when he was about to arrive at Martial Soul City, these guys still didn't intend to give up!!
However, in response to his words, there was no movement from the rear...
Xu Sheng furrowed his brows, "Still not leaving?? Since that's the case, you might as well all stay here!"
As his words fell, he immediately released his second Martial Soul, the Ice Rose Sword...
The crimson hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring beneath his feet revealed itself completely...
However, just before he could act, he sensed two presences approaching at incredible speed...
"Xu Sheng, you're back?"
Sure enough, familiar figures appeared before him, none other than Ghost Charm and Yue Guan!
Xu Sheng was somewhat surprised, "Elder Gui, Elder Ju, why are you here?"
Ghost Charm replied truthfully, "We sensed you suddenly burst forth with Soul Power and rushed over immediately. Did something happen?"
Yue Guan also looked puzzled, "I was thinking there was no one here, Xu Sheng, why did you suddenly unleash such a large amount of Soul Power? It scared me, thinking someone was attacking Martial Soul City!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng patiently explained, "Sorry to worry you, it's just that some rats lurking in the shadows were constantly spying on me, which was a bit annoying."
Yue Guan furrowed his brows, "Rats?? But I didn't sense anything, Xu Sheng, could you have guessed wrong?"
He had released all his spiritual power, but had not detected any abnormalities!
Ghost Charm, somewhat speechless, interrupted his words, "Yue Guan, that's enough. Didn't we say those abyssal creatures have the ability to evade spiritual power detection? It's normal for us not to sense them."
After all, no one possesses spiritual power comparable to a god like Xu Sheng!
Then, looking at Xu Sheng again, "Xu Sheng, do you need us to help deal with those rats?"
Xu Sheng took a deep look at the rear but decided to retract his Martial Soul...
"Nevermind, these rats aren't particularly strong, once we enter Martial Soul City they probably won't dare continue spying, let's return to the Pope Hall first."
It would be too much to make a big fuss over a fight!
Ghost Charm and Yue Guan exchanged a glance, naturally agreeing, "Alright."
Since he said so, they weren't going to waste time clearing out those rats!
...
Meanwhile!
A team sent by Xingluo Empire, led by Davis, had arrived outside the Aquipeia Forest!
Looking at the vast forest ahead brimming with eerie and creepy aura, Davis only felt his breath slightly heavier...
The two Daijins beside him saw this and promptly reminded him...
"Davis, Your Highness, ahead lies the Aquipeia Forest, please be cautious."
"That's right, Aquipeia Forest is full of hazards, you can't afford to be the least bit complacent, especially now that dusk is approaching!!"
Listening to their words, Davis furrowed his brow, somewhat displeased, "Since you know this path is so dangerous, why don't we detour directly to Tiandou Empire Palace instead of choosing Aquipeia Forest?"
He was somewhat unclear about this!
One of the Daijin heard this and explained earnestly, "Davis, Your Highness may not know, both the Tiandou Imperial Family and the team of Seven Treasures Glaze Sect encountered abyssal creatures' attacks en route, indicating that their spies have infiltrated all factions."
"I'm afraid it's the same with the Royal Family of Xingluo Empire. If we proceed according to the original route, there's no telling we might be attacked!"
"For this reason, doing the opposite and going directly through Aquipeia Forest might be much safer!"
The other Daijin nodded in agreement, "Indeed, those abyssal creatures are ruthless and numerous. Once entangled with them, relying solely on us might be difficult to withstand; safety is paramount."
Davis' eyes lit up, "So that's it, the Daijins have thought this through so thoroughly, I was indeed a bit too reckless!"
He hadn't thought of this, or else, he really might have let the abyssal creatures succeed!!
Taking a deep breath, he then said again, "Since that's the case, let's dispense with idle talk and traverse Aquipeia Forest quickly!"
This suggestion naturally received everyone's approval...
A Daijin glanced sideways at the soul masters and soldiers at the rear, promptly ordering, "Everyone, spread out completely, form an arc, protect His Highness Davis, if he makes the slightest mistake, be careful with your heads."
If something happens to Davis, not only will these guys be held accountable, I'll have to answer with my own head!!
"Yes!!"
As soon as the words fell, these soldiers and soul masters scattered, forming an arc to protect Davis in the center, ready to provide support from any side should an unexpected situation arise...
