Chapter 867: Seeking Help from the Demoness

Thunder roared in all directions.
Although many people witnessed the battle in the sky, only very few understood what was happening.
Meanwhile, people were concerned about the rising corpse army.
They needed to confront it on their own.
All major sects would participate in the conflict.
No one would have to act alone.
Not everyone engaged in a battle against the corpses. Some members of demonic sects took advantage of the chaos.
They hid and attacked the sects that were still recuperating from the fight.
In that way, they became stronger.
Such things were not uncommon, and these individuals were often supported by The End of All Things.
“Who can blame us? Weren’t you supposed to help the people in the city? We are also citizens of the city, and now we lack spirit stones. You shouldn’t keep the spirit stones to yourselves,” a middle-aged man said with a smirk.
Behind him stood several experts.
In front of him, a young man tried to help some heavily injured people.
“It’s difficult for you to fight the corpses alone. Give us the spirit stones, and we’ll help you keep an eye around,” said the middle-aged man.
The young man frowned.
“Don’t give me that look. When we are offering you a way out, you should take it. If we make a move, you’ll lose your lives along with your money,” said the middle-aged man and sneered.
Some of the injured people could only curse under their breath.
They couldn’t do anything. They were in danger.
In the end, they could only give in.
They had tried so hard and fought the corpses, only to be exploited by these people.
“At least these good people are offering something. Otherwise, things would have been even more difficult, right?” said a voice.
A figure appeared in the distance.
He walked slowly but appeared near the crowd in an instant.
It was a middle-aged man with a few white hairs.
His aura was calm and soothing. He looked like a scholar.
His arrival made everyone suspicious. No one knew which side this person was on.
“Senior, what are you talking about?” the middle-aged man asked. “We only intended to help protect these people without any personal gains.”
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile. “Such a thoughtful gesture.” He waved his hand.
The word “slave” flew from his hand and landed on their foreheads.
“Then, guard this place for them,” the middle-aged man smiled and said.
After that, he walked away.
The demonic sect members were terrified.
The middle-aged man walked along the road and noticed the changes in the sky.
But he didn’t hurry. He moved at his own pace.
After some time, he arrived at a huge mountain.
He passed by a village. It appeared to be deserted.
He didn’t stay there. He walked toward the cliff behind the mountain.
“It’s a pity I didn’t arrive early. Now, I have to wait until they finish.” The middle-aged man looked up at the sky.
“After the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment practitioner loses, the people from the Bright Moon Sect and the Astronomical Academy will take action. The problems in the West will start from there.”
“I just don’t know when it will end, but the Sage’s Pages can appear anytime now. I wonder if anyone will compete with me for them.” The middle-aged man looked at the cliff and waited.
The battle in the sky was almost coming to an end.
The large white bird was exhausted.
Even though numerous lights illuminated it, the outcome was clear. Chu Jie might lose because of the vast gap between her strength and her opponent’s.
Jiang Hao watched the sky.
He had sensed it. If he went up, he would face the same fate.
Even with the identity of Gu Jin, it was of no use.
The opponent’s identity was real, and their knowledge and methods far surpassed his.
With such a huge gap, it would be useless to intervene.
The opponent wouldn’t lower their cultivation realm to compete with him on an equal footing, after all.
So, he couldn’t get involved.
If they came for him, he would run.
He wanted to leave the matters of the West to the West.
However, he didn’t intend to take the jade pendant with him. Perhaps he could find someone to entrust it to.
Whether it was the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment or the Xuanyuan Sword, he couldn’t replace them. He was only there to help them.
He knew he couldn’t bear such a heavy responsibility, nor could he reach their level.
He just wanted to survive and would find ways to do so, no matter how tough it became.
He wasn’t destined to become a revered figure among the people.
However, he wouldn’t snatch away the opportunities of these people either. He would always help if he could.
The present situation was no exception.
As the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was about to be defeated, Jiang Hao attempted to disrupt the corpses’ fortune.
He would help create an opening for Chu Jie.
But…
Jiang Hao turned to look at Hong Yuye and hesitated. “Senior, there is something I need your help with.”
“Sure. As long as you intend to pay the price,” said Hong Yuye.
Jiang Hao nodded.
It seemed like he owed her three things for helping him three times.
Or was it four times?
He couldn’t remember.
He didn’t care. She could have killed him easily if she intended to. Since she hadn’t, he could only assume he was still of some use to her.
Otherwise, he would have been dead by now.
“What do you want to do?” Hong Yuye asked.
“I have to trouble you to retrieve two things later, Senior,” said Jiang Hao.
In the sky, the tiger spoke in human language.
“Such a pity! Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is rarely seen. It’s really a shame to kill you like this. But if you don’t die, I won’t get what I want. So, I have to kill you.”
The might of the Corpse Clan emanated.
The black vortex revolved as if the entire sky had become the territory of the tiger. Every step expanded the aura and shook the earth.
The bird soared high, but it couldn’t surpass the tiger.
The bird trembled. It wanted to turn around and escape, but it composed itself and prepared to fight again.
“Your bravery is commendable, but it’s still not enough.” The tiger leaped with its claws out.
The bird’s wings were torn apart again.
The claws slashed at its body.
The bird screamed in agony.
On top of the mountain, Jing Dajiang frowned. He sighed sadly. “It seems like that person is not planning to make a move. I don’t know why.” “Are you going to make a move?” the bearded old man asked.
“Yes. Contact the Bright Moon Sect and tell them that we must join hands in this fight. Have some people from the academy stand guard. We’ll defend as long as it takes,” said Jing Dajiang.
At that time, they had to do what they needed to do. They couldn’t retreat.
That would only lead to more deaths.
Just when they prepared to go all out, they heard a dragon’s roar. A dazzling white light pierced through the black vortex..
