Chapter 426 Being careful
At the same time, Shun Long who had just entered the space tear, instantly appeared above the city walls a moment later, arriving right in the midst of the fight that had yet to end.
Originally, there were 1000 peak rank 9 Spirit realm and rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivators on top of the city walls trying to fend off the alliance of disciples that attacked the city, not allowing them to come closer.
However, the cultivation of the disciples in the alliance was still much higher than the criminals on the city walls, causing catastrophic losses towards the criminals, with less than 400 of them left alive at this point.
The moment that the disciples in the alliance managed to endure the first wave of long-range attacks and reached the city walls was the moment that the slaughter started, causing hundred of corpses to pile up on the city walls.
Of course, more than 30 of the original 170 disciples had also ended up dying during this fight, but most of them were either the few people that were at the peak of rank 9 in the Spirit realm or those who were at the rank 1 of the Nascent Soul.
At the same time, although Shun Long's appearance was noticed by people from both sides, no one paid too much attention to an early rank 1 Nascent Soul cultivator who appeared out of nowhere.
After taking a quick look at the situation below him, Shun Long didn't stay in this place any longer, as he raised his left hand for the second time opening another space tear, arriving 3 miles away from the city.
Shun Long repeated this action 3 more times until he was more than 10 miles away from the city.
Since he had already obtained the Holy sect's token there was no reason for him to stay in the city any longer.
Instead, staying in the city was actually even more dangerous to him.
After all, the 4 middle rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had seen him kill the golden-robed man, the black-robed old man as well as the young woman in short hair, already knew that he was the one who had obtained the token from the city.
If Shun Long wasted more time inside the city, it was very likely that he would end up clashing against the remaining peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators and their groups.
After all, Shun Long still remembered, that from the original members of the alliance that attacked the city, there were also 2 other peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators, each of whom led their own small groups when they attacked the city.
At the same time, he had also heard from the golden-robed young man's discussion with the black-robed young woman, that there were 2 other criminals at the peak of rank 3 inside the city as well, while the 2 groups of disciples from the alliance had already chased after those peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts.
Of course, although Shun Long had managed to kill the 2 black-robed old man and the short-haired woman who were at the peak of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul, as well as the golden-robed 'senior brother Qiong' all by himself, it was impossible for him to fight against 4 more people at the same level, let alone when they were all leading their own groups.
After all, he had already expended a large amount of his qi using the 'Thundergod's slash' once to kill the golden-robed 'senior brother Qiong'.
If he was besieged by 4 other peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators at the same time, then even in the best-case scenario, he would only be able to kill one of them before he ended up running out of qi and dying in their hands.
Of course, he had also considered killing the 4 people who had witnessed him obtaining the Holy sect's token, silencing them and allowing no one to know that he was the one who had obtained the token in the first place, but this thought only flashed past his mind for a single moment before it was instantly extinguished.
In the end, these people were still middle rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and even if all of them were weaker than the golden-robed 'senior brother Qiong', their strength was definitely not too far off from the black-robed old man who was at the peak of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul.
Killing all 4 of them in a short amount of time was simply impossible.
At the same time, Shun Long was also aware that his fight against the golden-robed young man had already been noticed by the other cultivators in the city, causing all of them to head over to that place.
After all, his 'Thundergod's slash' slashing the huge 'inferno pillar' in half was probably noticed by more than just one or 2 people.
At that moment, everyone would immediately understand, that the only thing that could be enticing enough to cause 2 people to fight all-out using their Saint low-grade martial skills, could only be the Holy sect's token or something of similar value.
Thus, it would only take a few moments for the remaining 2 groups of disciples to move towards the north of the city where he was fighting with the golden-robed young man.
With these thoughts in mind, Shun Long didn't hesitate, as he flew towards the south.
Originally, he had also thought of flying towards the west, to the forest where he originally came from, but knowing that the disciples inside the city could very likely remember this and start combing through it, caused him to change his direction and head towards the south instead.
Shun Long flew towards the south at full speed, passing through many mountains and a small forest, but he still didn't stop.
Finally, more than 3 hours later, he arrived in front of an inconspicuous small mountain that was part of a small mountain range.
Seeing that there was a naturally formed cave near the small mountain's foot, Shun Long first closed his eyes and spread his soul sense to check if there were any humans or magic beasts around him, before he entered inside the cave.
Having obtained the Holy sect's token, the only thing he had to do was stay in seclusion for the next 25 days, and try to advance his strength as much as possible during this time.
In the blink of an eye, 24 days quickly passed, and the last day of the third test finally arrived!
