ces, we won't say that we can deal with the tide beast, but at least in terms of self-preservation, we have some strength. Coupled with the help of the formation, as long as we activate the earth fire..."Alright then, as long as you don't cause us trouble afterwards, whether we can get out of the Muye Plains depends on our own abilities." Lu Xia Tian readily agreed without much hesitation. Right now, within this Muye Plains, relying solely on their current strength to safely make it through would be incredibly difficult. At present, Lu Xia Tian didn't have a well-developed plan either, so he could only take things step by step, using whatever resources he could.

Lu Xia Tian had already witnessed the prowess of the Zhu family, even just those he dealt with before. Under the boost of the Zixu Bamboo Forest's music, they were even more formidable than that cold woman. In this unfamiliar place, having a few extra temporary allies wouldn't be bad.

“Very good,” said the elder with raised eyebrows, smiling. “There are only seven members of the Zhu clan here right now. Let’s join forces and take them down first. Killing a few will prevent more of their kin from gathering later on. Once they arrive, it’ll be much harder to fight back, and we’ll lose the initiative.”

"Let's just keep fighting and moving. The Bamboo Clan should have cultivators at the Immortal level." Lu Xiaitian disagreed with the old man's suggestion, "The Xu Zhu Yao Xian fears the power of the Bamboo Clan, it's not simply fear of those Immortal Realm cultivators. Lu Xiaitian was only guessing, but under such a high probability situation, he naturally had to avoid taking risks as much as possible."

"A powerful being at the level of a True Immortal Are you sure" The elder with thick eyebrows was startled several times in succession.

“Eight or nine out of ten. Try to lure them towards the flying armor and insects as much as possible. If they get too close, find a chance to injure a few.” Lu Xiaoteng said, right now his lotus petal clone and Tongtian Demon Monarch both had the strength to fight, plus this elder with thick eyebrows in front of him, the middle-aged Taoist nun was extraordinary, stronger than the cold woman by quite a bit. Even if the Zhu family had a few more people, they would still have the power to fight.”

After the two groups of people joined forces, they became much more confident. At least facing the pursuit of the Zhu clan from behind, they seemed much calmer and fought their way forward.

"Lu Xiongdi, what's your real plan You don't actually believe those guardian immortals, do you" Tongtian Mojun parried a bamboo spear and secretly transmitted a voice to Lu Xia Tian.

“Of course I have some precautions, we'll see what happens later.” Lu Xia Tian said.

"As long as Brother Lu is prepared, that's enough." Tongtian Demon Monarch chuckled, a good fist needing no hammer. He had sparred with Lu Xia Tian in the past, so he naturally understood his strength. When he spoke up to remind him just now, it was just out of caution. As long as Lu Xia Tian didn't let down his guard, he wouldn't need to point him in the right direction.

Lu Xia Tian and several others followed the old man with thick eyebrows for tens of thousands of miles, constantly fighting. The bamboo-like creatures from behind relentlessly pursued them. Along the way, they passed through several dangerous places, but none of them seemed to relax even slightly.

The old man with thick eyebrows retreated in an orderly fashion, not like someone fleeing in a panic.

It seems like there might be a hidden plan. However, the other party hasn't revealed it yet. A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Lu Xiaitian's eyes. Maybe they would keep their promise and, as guardians of this realm, wouldn't bother them again. But what if during their escape, they were abandoned or deceived The other party wouldn't be breaking their promise. At least from the current situation, these realm protectors don't seem to be as ignorant about this place as the outsiders like them.

No one is dumber than anyone else. Huoyun Monster and Tongtian Demon Lord also noticed the abnormality, and even the middle-aged Daoist nun and the wizened old man didn't think they could necessarily dispel their doubts. It's just that the asymmetry of information between the two sides made the wizened old man and the middle-aged Daoist nun both feel that the other party was incapable of escaping their control. If circumstances permit, it wouldn't hurt to take them away together. If circumstances don't allow it, someone has to be sacrificed.

The Zhu family's people were right on their heels. Although they had injured several people along the way, the Zhu family continued to replenish their ranks. The pursuers had now reached thirteen, with varying levels of strength. Even though Lu Xiaoteng's group had a few cultivators in the late Xian period, if they were to fight, they would be at a disadvantage from the start in this place filled with purple suxin bamboo forests. Coupled with the huge disparity in manpower, the consequences were unimaginable.

A middle-aged Taoist nun waved a whisk in her hand, the strands of dust resembling three thousand white hairs, woven into a giant cage. The old man with bushy eyebrows drew an ancient talisman, inside which a powerful spirit beast was sealed. The spirit beast's body glowed with spiritual patterns, proving that the fairy realm truly was a higher level of existence. Upon first arriving in Muye, this place was home not only to some ferocious demons and fairies born and raised here, or indigenous people like the Zhu clan, but also most of the immortals who resided here were relatively low-level beings within the Heavenly Court's sphere of influence.

Even in this situation, there was still a sense that made Lu Xia Tian and the Heavenly Demon Lord open their eyes wide.

The Zhu clan may not be particularly powerful in other places, but under the exclusion of the Zixu bamboo forest, they possessed some divine abilities that even Lu Xia Tian found extremely difficult to deal with.

In such circumstances, where there are options available, no one is willing to stay and fight a prolonged war with the Zhu family, who are considered natives. Especially when their own strength is inferior and they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.

“Several of you, retreat quickly! Let me hold them off. When I have a moment, I will recover as best as I can and then someone else can take my place.” The group fought their way to a small lake several thousand acres in size. The old man with bushy eyebrows had a grim look on his face. A green ancient talisman emerged from the top of his head, growing larger in an instant. The runes along the edges of the talisman flickered, and to the naked eye, it looked like a deep, bottomless green tunnel.

A ferocious roar erupted from within, and a majestic white-furred tiger charged out with terrifying power, lunging at the several Bamboo Clan members who stood in its path.

Lu Xia Tian and the Heavenly Demon Lord exchanged glances, each letting out a slight sigh of relief. At this moment, with the situation as it was, the elder with bushy eyebrows took on the heaviest burden. Naturally, the others were happy to be relieved.

Lu XiaTian's divine sense spread out, leaving no place unturned. The group fled with all their might, but the Zhu clan members pursued relentlessly. They didn't move as a single unit; some were faster, others slower. The elder with the thick eyebrows directly confronted only three members of the Zhu clan. After holding them off for a while, he was replaced by someone else.

After this round of changes, Lu Xiaotian and the Heavenly Demon Lord exchanged surprised glances. There was something amiss. The chosen rearguard had changed several times now. Lu Xiaotian, even including his lotus incarnation and the Heavenly Demon Lord, whether one or two teaming up to resist the enemy, had gone through multiple rounds, yet they still hadn't detected any abnormality in the old man with thick eyebrows.

“Lu brother, are we judging you by our petty standards” The Heavenly Demon Lord still seemed hesitant.

"Perhaps." Once again, the middle-aged Daoist nun made her move. Lu Xia Tian secretly acknowledged Tong Tian Mo Jun's voice and saw as the middle-aged Daoist nun's whisk shot into the ground, then exploded outward, shooting towards several members of the Zhu clan on the opposite side, ready to kill them. Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat, his divine sense quietly diving toward the ground.
