With that, Lei Ao called Old Wolf, Ancestor Sky Worm, Void Valley and Yang Jue to his side and said to Zhang Yifan, "Sect Leader Zhang, why don't you come with me?"
"This ?" Zhang Yifan forced a smile and said, "I'm not the only one who came. As a respected leader of a sect, I definitely can't leave my disciple here and escape by myself at this moment. I appreciate your kindness, little brother."
"How many disciples do you have?" Lei Ao glanced around and asked.
"A hundred just now."
"No problem, come to my small world." Lei Ao roughly estimated, the current small world was enough to hold five hundred people.
When the Sect Leaders saw that Lei Ao and the others were about to leave, they suddenly became anxious. The South Sword Sect Leader called out, "Wait a moment, little brother. I am willing to contribute to the Six Paths of the Three Realms. Take our disciples with me."
After he finished speaking, he grabbed a Polar Divine Weapon from the direct disciple's hands and handed it over, looking at Lei Ao with a pleading expression.
Upon seeing this, the others all followed suit and handed over their sect's Divine Weapons, hoping that Lei Ao would bring them out of the Piao Miao Peak.
"Hehe, are you willing to contribute now? If that's the case, why are you thinking about leaving? " Lei Ao sneered. He looked at this group of shameless Sect Leaders and said, "You only have two choices. First, hand over your Supreme Dao Divine Weapons and join hands to defend against the Dark Clans. Secondly, we will go our separate ways. Don't expect this young master to send someone out to help you out. "
This...
They were willing to hand over the legendary weapon, and even giving it to Lei Ao was not a big deal. All they wanted was to leave this damned Floating Peak, after all, there were fifty Earth Realm dark clans, and their bloodlines were comparable to Divine Veins or even fifty Earth levels.
Originally, they had thought that the opening of the Piao Miao Peak meant that the Sky Clan's endless treasure trove would send them all out with one word. Who would have thought that this was a plot of the Dark Clan? Now, they were surrounded on the mountain.
If one didn't obtain the treasure, it was possible that one would fall into a trap. This was something that no one expected, but these people clearly hadn't seen the seriousness of the situation yet and were still fighting for that sliver of luck. They both wanted to safely escape from the Dark Group, but they also wanted to keep the divine weapons in their hands.
Lei Ao was right. Unless they were facing off against the Dark Group, these selfish people wouldn't even consider things that would harm their own interests.
They had no other choice now, they could only hand over the Divine Weapon obediently. Otherwise, if Lei Ao wasn't in a good mood and decided to use his Greater Teleportation Formation to escape, then the so-called first-rate sects like them could only be cut down by the Dark Clansmen.
Not just that, but amongst the Sky Clan clansmen on the Piao Miao Peak, only Lei Ao was able to speak a few words to them. If Lei Ao was present, perhaps the Sky Clan wouldn't sit idly by and do nothing.
However, if Lei Ao left, the Sky Clan would most certainly not interfere. They might even stab them in the back while they were down.
Who knew that they were here to try to get their hands on other people's treasures? Moreover, thousands of years ago, the same thing had happened once. The Heavenly Race only had hatred and had no friendship with them.
It wasn't that no one didn't know about Greater Teleportation. Back in the God Realm, Saint-rank experts could already use it, let alone these peak Earth rank experts.
However, their large-scale teleportation wasn't a formation diagram, and the teleportation distance was also not too far, so they weren't sure if they could get away from the Dark Clansmen's eyes. The most important thing was that they could only use their Greater Teleportation on their own. At most, they could only bring two people along. The more they brought along, the shorter the teleportation distance.
As the masters of a sect, although they were selfish, they would never abandon their own disciples for the sake of their own sects.
Moreover, for the sake of the heavenly treasures, they had brought out the elites from their own sects. If they died here, even if they could escape safely, the elites they brought would be all wiped out.
At that time, a first-rate sect would probably be reduced to a third-rate sect. Who knows, maybe it would be annexed within two to three days.
Furthermore, Lei Ao had previously threatened him. As a descendant of a Divine Vein, he was able to jump ranks to challenge others. In addition to that, he was also equipped with a magical equipment, so even an Earth Stage powerhouse wouldn't be able to easily break through his defense.
If Lei Ao hardened his heart and tried to settle the scores with them, then the disciples of his sect would never be able to walk outside. Otherwise, if they met Lei Ao, the only way out for them would be death.
In the Sword Pool Valley, both the Godly Void Sect and the Godly Martial Sect supported Lei Ao. The Godly Void Sect might be nothing to worry about, since they only had one expert. However, the Sword Pool Valley and the Divine Martial Sect were top sects. Anyone who wanted to provoke them would have to be cautious and prudent.
After thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons, these Sect Leaders could not help but compromise with Lei Ao. Originally, Lei Ao only wanted to collect nine Divine Weapons to let Old Wolf set up the Nine Ultimate Supreme Soul Formation, but now he was no longer polite. Besides the one in their hands, all the other Supreme Dao Divine Weapons were confiscated.
Counting them, there were a total of twenty-six. Adding his own Bloodthirsty Demon Saber, there were a total of twenty-seven divine weapons.
Lei Ao asked Old Wolf, "How many formations can you set up?"
Old Wolf thought for a moment and said, "One more and I'll be able to set up two Nine Extreme Returning Array and one Seven Ultimate Skill Formation. If you do not have it, then just set up two Seven Ultimate Skill Formation and one Nine Extreme Soul Formation.
"That's great. I'm using him to chop people down, so I'll set up two Seven Ultimate Skill Formation and a Nine Extreme Soul Formation."
After he had finished speaking, he immediately took action. He gathered everyone's strength and sealed the area within a radius of 10 miles. First, he could control the flight ability of the Dark Group, otherwise any formation would be useless if the air defense line was lost.
Following that, the old wolf also extorted a large amount of Pulse Crystal Stones from the Sect Leaders and laid down a few illusory magic arrays in a wide area of the passage.
When the preparations were done, the Dark Group still had not made a move, and Lei Ao was not in a hurry either. The longer they dragged it out, the better.
However, what the hell was the dark clan up to? There is no reason why a siege should not be carried out, and it would not do them any good.
Lei Ao couldn't understand, so he asked the old ancestor to go down the mountain again. The news he got was that the Dark Group was resting at the foot of the mountain, occupying the main path down the mountain.
In addition, they had also set up a restraining formation themselves, locking up the entire Piao Miao Peak, making it impossible for them to leave.
"Fuck?" When did they set up the barrier? How come I didn't know? " Lei Ao jumped in fright. He tried forming the star chart, but it actually met a great resistance. He estimated that even if he emptied out the space within the small world, he could only barely move 10 miles.
Zhang Yifan said hesitantly, "Earlier, when you were going up the mountain, there was an unusual fluctuation in the surrounding space, but it quickly disappeared. At that time, we thought that the Dark Group had already started to attack, so we didn't pay too much attention. Now, it seems like that is the time when they sealed off the space around them. "
"Damn it, what are these people trying to do? They don't even want to fight, they want to trap us to death?" Lei Ao found this funny. With their cultivation at this level, they didn't even need to eat or sleep. Just by adjusting their breathing for half a quarter of an hour, they could completely recover their spirit.
Although he couldn't figure out the hidden tribes' intentions, the uneasy feeling in Lei Ao's heart became more and more intense. It was as if a great danger was approaching.
Another hour passed, and the Dark Group still did not move. However, Lei Ao suddenly stood up from the ground, the murderous intent in his body uncontrollably starting to rise.
Old Wolf was shocked and quickly asked, "What's wrong with this kid?"
"Something's not right. It's an ominous premonition." Lei Ao's face darkened.
"An illusion, right? This King doesn't feel anything. " Old Wolf curiously sniffed the air and said, "There are fifty dark beasts down there. Not one is too many, not one is too few."
"No, there's definitely something strange going on. Du Xuan's Divine Vein has reacted." Just as Lei Ao finished speaking, the bloodlust in his hands suddenly began to vibrate violently, the buzzing sound was extremely ear-piercing, Lei Ao almost couldn't hold it in anymore, and he quickly increased his strength by a bit.
"This is a godly warning!" Zhang Yifan and a few other knowledgeable Sect Leaders were startled. They looked at their own weapons but didn't see the slightest reaction. Suddenly, they were puzzled.
"Stop looking, can your Ultimate Divine Weapons compare to Divine Vein Holy Weapons? It's not even bad iron. " Old Wolf had a look of disdain on his face as he said to Lei Ao, "There definitely isn't any movement from the Dark Clansmen. This King can guarantee that there might be a problem on Piao Gui Mountain."
"No, that sense of danger comes from the bottom of the mountain." Lei Ao looked up and pointed: "In that direction, the distance is hard to estimate."
Just as he was speaking, the Bloodthirsty Demon Saber suddenly shook violently and broke away from Lei Ao's palm. It floated in the air and continuously cried out, pointing the tip of the blade at the spot Lei Ao had pointed to.
Right at this moment, the Sky Worm Ancestor let out a cry and jumped up. The supreme treasure of the Primal Chaos, Sky Worm Silk, was actually automatically worn on his body, forming a layer of Sky Worm Armor.
"Damn, this is the ultimate treasure's automatic protection function." The old wolf's mouth was filled with an unpleasant taste. His Howling Sun Heavenly Wolf Clock had the same function, but it was destroyed by the dark tribe.
The two treasures warned at the same time. The enemies were definitely not limited to the fifty tribesmen at the foot of the mountain. These people alone were not enough to pose much of a threat to Lei Ao and the rest.
Time passed in a state of doubt and fear, and every second felt like a long time. Right now, no one knew where the threat came from, who it was, and only unknown things made people feel even more fear.
Another hour passed, and both the old wolf and the Sky Worm Grandmaster leaped up at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Lei Ao and the other Sect Leaders were all frightened out of their wits.
"Damn, it's that old undying smell." Belgarath gritted his teeth.
"Old fart?" Lei Ao's heart was in his mouth as he looked towards the Celestial Worm Ancestor.
The ancestor's face was solemn as he said, "It's the Dark Blood Beast Emperor. This feeling is indeed correct."
"Dark Blood Beast Emperor? Or is it a Royal-ranked Dark Blood Beast? " Lei Ao sat down in despair. No matter which one of them it was, none of them were someone they could deal with.
Furthermore, the Dark Blood Beast Emperor had the strength of a peak Heaven Stage.
Moreover, although there were many dark races below, if they could get the Sky Clan's support on Floating Peak, they would not be too powerful. However, the Sky Clan was unable to suppress the Dark Blood Beast.
"It's the Emperor of the Dark Blood Beast, This King will never forget this old thing even if he dies." It was a battle with the Bloody Beast Emperor that had caused such a heavy injury to the God Realm.
That battle not only caused the Celestial Wolf to lose its precious Celestial Wolf Bell, even the spiritual roots that he had painstakingly stolen had been completely destroyed.
"Damn. Didn't you say that you killed it back then?" Lei Ao became even more shocked. The worst possibility actually appeared.
"Back then, this king was both defeated and injured by it, but this king is certain that its injuries are definitely worse than mine. It shouldn't have survived, and the people of the Dark Clan must have used their divine veins to prolong its life."
"Damn, it's actually the Emperor of the Dark Blood Beast, how can we fight like this?"
It was no wonder that both Divine Weapons and Divine Veins had warned him earlier. This threat was indeed fatal, as the Dark Blood Beast Emperor was a peak Heaven Stage expert. Let alone the Beast Emperor, even if it was an Emperor Level Dark Blood Beast, it would still be enough to sweep across the entire Divine Origin Realm.
The group of Sect Leaders were mostly unclear about what was happening in the Ancient Heaven Realm. Although they did not quite understand what was going on, when they saw the serious expressions on Lei Ao and the two spirit beasts, they knew that the enemy would be very strong.
The fact that it was a peak Heaven Stage beast almost made the Sect Leader scared out of his wits. A Heaven Stage, even though he had fought with it, he had never even seen one.
What should I do?!
In the blink of an eye, the scene turned chaotic as all the disciples lost control of themselves. Their panic and fear caused them to make all kinds of cowardly reactions, and a majority of them wanted to surrender to the Dark Group.
This time, Lei Ao did not stop them. After all, these were heaven-step vicious beasts.
After thinking for a moment, he said to the old wolf, "Release the formation and return the Divine Weapon to them."
"Little brother, you ?" Zhang Yifan was taken aback.
"There's no other way. Staying here is really a dead end. You guys can do what you want to do. You might really be able to save your lives by surrendering to the Dark Group, but I hope you won't harm your compatriots in the Three Realms in the future."
Lei Ao had a helpless look on his face as he explained, "The strength of a Heaven Stage is not something you can imagine, especially the Dark Blood Beast Emperor. One slap from it can turn the Piao Miao Peak into flat ground."
"Compared to my useless life, I, Zhang Yifan, would rather die in battle." With a resolute expression on his face, Zhang Yifan turned around and shouted to the disciples, "Brothers of the Sword Pool Valley, I, Zhang Yifan, will lead you to a dead end today. If you are unwilling, you can leave on your own."
"We vow to advance and retreat together with the Sect Leader."
"He's just dead. If anyone is a coward, even as a ghost, I, Song Qing, will look down on him."
A tragic roar suppressed the chaos from before, none of the Sword Pool Valley disciples retreated before the battle, this kind of spirit, that did not fear death was deeply admirable to Lei Ao.
If they were part of the Divine Bloodline Family, perhaps they would become a huge threat to the Dark Clan. Perhaps it was because of the bloodline's restriction, but their growth speed would not be too fast.
"Empyrean Wuliang, this humble Taoist is willing to die in battle with Sect Leader Zhang." With his eyes closed, everyone could see the determination on his face.
"Haha, good men, my Southern Sword Sect will also go crazy with you."
What made Lei Ao surprised was that the South Sword Sect Leader, who previously still felt heartache over his Divine Weapon, had also made the same decision, and had decided to stay and fight to the death with the other disciples.
However, only these few sects were willing to stay behind to wait for their deaths. They felt embarrassed to leave, so they stood where they were, hesitating.
