Chapter 689: Their Situation III

•
Unlike Di Xiong and the others, Xue Aotian immediately took his wife and the others to leave Xidiao Island as soon as they received news from Chen Li about the Yuan Clan, and they flew towards Beidao Island using his flying artifact.
Unfortunately, their presence on Xidiao Island had been known and monitored by the people of the Yuan Clan since they first set foot on the island, and their patriarch, Yuan Shao, ordered his people to chase and hunt them down once they tried to escape.
Moreover, Yuan Shao sent several strong cultivators to chase them using their fastest flying artifact, and most of them had already reached the Nirvana Realm, so their speed was much faster than that of Xue Aotian and the others.
"Husband! They're behind us!" Yi Qingcheng shouted to Xue Aotian as she looked towards the back of the flying artifact.
Hearing that, Xue Aotian asked Yi Qingcheng to take over control of the flying artifact, and he immediately walked to the stern together with Di Xun, Yang Nianxue, Xuanyuan Ling, and Diao Wudie.
After that, Xue Aotian released his ice qi and made several hand gestures, causing the area behind them to become foggy, with the intention of restricting their vision. In addition, he also created dozens of large ice crystals, all of which immediately floated in the air to block their path. "Their cultivation has reached the Nirvana Realm, so my defense may not be able to last long against their attacks, but it might still buy us some time to escape from them."
"Let me help you, Uncle Xue." Di Xun said as he took out his sword and channeled his sword qi into it, and he also used his Di clan sword technique to create hundreds of qi swords, which immediately spread in several directions to attack those who would attack them.
Yang Nianxue, who was previously a disciple of the Silver Sword Sect, also followed her husband. However, she immediately released her fire qi and created dozens of fireballs in midair; she also used her sword qi to create dozens of fire qi swords.
Unlike them, Xuanyuan Ling did not draw her sword. Instead, she closed her eyes and pointed her two fingers up in front of her chest, instantly enveloping her body in a powerful sword qi. In a few seconds, a giant qi sword appeared above them, but she did not immediately swing it towards their enemies; she waited for them to enter her attack range.
Diao Wudie did something different with them; she took out several types of pills from her storage ring before crushing them into powder. After confirming the wind's direction, she dispersed the powders into the air, allowing the wind to carry them toward their adversaries. "Hehe! These pills will make them nauseous and hallucinate, but I don't know how long their effects will last, so you guys better be prepared to face their attacks."
Xue Aotian and the others nodded in agreement with Diao Wudie, but she then took out an umbrella artifact and injected her qi into it, and it immediately floated into the air before increasing in size quite significantly up there.
Soon, lightning bolts began to appear from under the umbrella artifact, which Diao Hudie controlled using her lightning element, making Xue Aotian smile when he saw them.
Unlike what Diao Wudie expected, those people were not affected by her pills, especially since they noticed her action, and one of them who had the wind element directly swept them away.
Wasting no time, the people from the Yuan Clan immediately used their respective abilities to attack Xue Aotian and the others. Instantly, attacks from several types of elements shot towards them from their flying artifact, so they mobilized the defenses they had prepared beforehand.
Unfortunately, Xue Aotian and the others' defense proved futile due to their disparity in strength, as their enemies' attacks swiftly destroyed everything. Xuanyuan Ling swung the giant qi sword towards their enemies, but one of them immediately countered her attack, shattering it into pieces and sending her flying backwards.
However, Yang Nianxue immediately moved to help Xuanyuan Ling before colliding with the flying artifact pole, but she suffered a backlash, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Di Xun and Yang Nianxue then used their qi swords to attack the enemies, but their efforts were once again in vain as their attacks were immediately broken by them, and they actually suffered a backlash as a result.
Without hesitation, Diao Wudie unleashed her lightning bolts, fueled by her lightning qi and umbrella artifact, and utilized Xue Aotian to randomly target their enemies. Unfortunately, her attacks yielded no results as their enemies immediately countered them, but she refused to give up and persisted in attacking them repeatedly.
Not only Diao Wudie, but even Xue Aotian also continued to attack them using dozens of ice spears, all of which were easily destroyed by their enemies.
Their situation quickly became even more desperate when several members of the Yuan Clan flew in to surround them from various sides. They laughed at them contemptuously, especially since they were too weak in their eyes.
While they were in a desperate situation, a woman suddenly appeared on their flying artifact, but neither they nor the enemies could see her figure clearly, especially since her body was transparent, so none of them recognized her identity.
The woman turned towards Xue Aotian and the others with a faint smile, but she then moved towards the enemies who surrounded them, and she immediately enveloped them with her transparent aura, including their companion along with their flying artifact. Instantly, the cultivators from the Yuan Clan were taken away by her, which left them stunned and relieved at the same time.
"Do you recognize that woman, husband? Do you think she is the spirit woman sent by Chen Li?" As she wiped the blood from her mouth, Yang Nianxue asked Di Xun.
"No." Di Xun answered his wife by shaking his head. "I remember all the spirit women by Chen Li's side, and I've never seen such a woman among them. Moreover, her body is as transparent as air, so I don't recognize her identity."
Diao Wudie nodded in agreement with Di Xun, particularly since she had also met all the spirit women before they went to the Azure Mystic Realm. "Perhaps that woman is one of their recently arrived sisters, and judging from her figure and abilities, I guess she is the spirit of
air."
"How many spirit women are actually there? Chen Li already had so many spirit women by her side, and a new one suddenly appeared." Xue Aotian spoke as he continued to look in the direction in which the woman had disappeared.
"No one knows." Xuanyuan Ling responded to Xue Aotian by shaking her head. "Rather than thinking about that woman's identity, it would be better if we accelerated the speed of this flying artifact. That way, we could arrive at Beidao Island faster and gather with Chen Li."
"You're right." Xue Aotian then returned to Yi Qingcheng's side, took control of their flying artifact from her, and used numerous profound stones to increase their flying speed. "Chen Li told me that he and the others live in Donghai City, which is located on the east side of Beidao Island, so I will take us there directly."
"Yeah, let's go there directly." Yi Qingcheng answered while nodding to her husband.
Meanwhile, the woman had brought the cultivators from the Yuan Clan back to Xidiao Island, and she immediately knocked them out of the cold before returning to their original forms. As they expected, the woman was indeed one of the spirit women, but her appearance was slightly different from that of Xiao Huoli and the others.
The woman's elliptical face looked lovely and mature, and she had curly grayish-white hair tied in a long braid with two long bangs hanging down to her chest. She possessed slanted eyes with graish white pupils that matched her hair, two elf-like pointy ears, a slanted and sharp nose, and a sweet little mouth.
The woman's figure is quite tall, around 6' 7", making her the tallest among her sisters, and a grayish-white long white dress perfectly wraps her slender body, combined with several
artifacts hanging around her neck.
The woman looked for a moment at the cultivators from the Yuan Clan before looking
towards the Ancient King Island, but she then let out a heavy sigh. "That darkness has not only brought chaos to this realm, but it has also brought chaos to so many other realms, from the upper to the middle realms. Moreover, Tian Shiwang's people continue to recruit new followers, making their numbers much greater compared to a thousand years ago, and it won't be easy for us to attack them now. Furthermore, Long Wang's cultivation is still in the mortal realm, and it will take him a considerable amount of time to regain his past strength, which means we will have to wait a long time to reclaim everything."
The woman then turned towards Nandao Island and smiled faintly. "Diqiu arrived there a
long time ago, but she didn't immediately move to save them. If Big Sis Shijiang finds out about that, she will punish her severely, so it would be better if I caught up with her."
