"The fellow Daoists of the Ever-Changing Alliance have fought valiantly for the unrelated Saint Puppet Sect, which is commendable. Do you truly intend to sacrifice your lives here? Why not leave now, and we shall not hinder you," the scarred man boomed, his voice echoing throughout the main island.

Upon hearing this, Bai Fengyi's expression shifted. The remaining members of the Ever-Changing Alliance exchanged glances, their eyes flickering with uncertainty.

According to the previous agreement, they had already completed their mission of guarding the formation island. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, they had failed, and some of their companions had likely met their demise. Continuing to defend the island so stubbornly would likely cost them their lives.

Although the Saint Puppet Sect had offered generous rewards, they needed to be alive to enjoy them.

Just as the crowd was wavering, Yun Ni's voice suddenly echoed in their minds:

"The rewards paid by the Saint Puppet Sect are already in my storage bracelet, and they are twice as much as originally agreed upon. As long as you use your best skills to help the Saint Puppet Sect defend for a while longer, you can get this generous reward."

Upon hearing this, a fiery gleam flashed in everyone's eyes, but some quickly calmed down and transmitted their thoughts to Yun Ni:

"Lord Lin San, the reward is good, but we must have a life to get it. If we really fight to the death, we may not only lose our lives, but also lose the original reward."

"Don't worry, I will naturally not let you fellow Daoists die here. When the time is right, I will issue a retreat order. But before that, if anyone dares to escape without authorization, they will be punished for disobeying orders. I believe you all know what will happen afterward, right?" Yun Ni continued to transmit her thoughts coldly.

After a combination of threats and inducements, although some members of the Ever-Changing Alliance were still unwilling, none dared to move rashly.

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from behind the Saint Puppet Sect's plaza hall. A snow-white beam of light shot into the sky and then shattered with a bang, dissipating.

"Hehe, it seems that Fellow Daoist Chong Luan has succeeded," the scarred man said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

Lu Ji also had a hint of joy in his eyes and nodded slightly.

The members of the Saint Puppet Sect, however, looked greatly changed, each and every one of them was shocked and angry.

"It's bad, something happened to the forbidden area. I have already left five elders there, how could this still happen..." Bai Fengyi's expression changed and said.

"Didn't the secret treasures of the sect already be transferred? Is there anything else important in the forbidden area?" Yun Ni asked.

"There is also a fairy puppet at the Golden Immortal level in the forbidden area, which is the biggest secret treasure of the entire Saint Puppet Sect..." Bai Fengyi said bitterly.

"Since there is such a treasure, why didn't you use it before?" Yun Ni asked, puzzled.

"This fairy puppet was passed down from the early years of the Saint Puppet Sect. Because it lacks a suitable core, it is not a complete fairy puppet. Previously, whenever it was needed, the sect master would fuse with it to exert the power of the middle stage of the Golden Immortal. When not in use, it has been kept in a spiritual pool in the forbidden area," Bai Fengyi explained.

As soon as her words fell, bursts of roaring sounds suddenly rang out from behind the plaza hall, and seven or eight snow-white beams of light lit up at the same time, shooting straight into the sky.

"Not good, the forbidden formation outside the forbidden area is about to be broken." Bai Fengyi's expression changed, and his body lit up with escape light. He was about to escape there, but Yun Ni stopped him with a palm.

"Don't panic, you still have to preside over the overall situation on the square. If you leave, the hearts of these people in the Saint Puppet Sect will be immediately dissipated, and I am afraid that they will not be able to resist even a single impact." Yun Ni said with a slight condensation in her eyes.

Hearing this, Bai Fengyi stabilized his mind and turned to drink to several Saint Puppet Sect elders not far away: "Elder Yu, Elder Fu... You three, quickly go to support the forbidden area."

Yun Ni's eyes flickered, wandering back and forth between Han Li and Xiong Shan not far away, as if she was choosing something, and then said: "Jiao Fifteen, you can also help them."

Han Li nodded upon hearing this, and left with the three in a rainbow.

"Lin Jiu, you will assist Vice Sect Master Bai for a while, and try your best to entangle the scarred man. I want to use secret techniques to see if I can find an opportunity to injure the other person." Yun Ni turned her eyes and said to Xiong Shan again.

Xiong Shan nodded silently and walked to Bai Fengyi's side.

"Hehe... Fellow Daoist Lu Ji, the moment of the final battle has arrived." Seeing that four more True Immortals had flown away from here, the scarred man smiled and said to the man with the sword across his waist.

After saying that, he turned to look at the Ten Directions Tower cultivators below, and the dense green-armored soldiers, and shouted:

"Everyone, victory is in sight. Kill me!"

With an order, thousands of voices echoed, and a tsunami-like sound of killing erupted from the periphery of the square, and the crowd rushed towards the center like a tide.

The two forces immediately mixed and fought each other, and the bloodiest stage of the entire battle arrived.

……

Speaking of behind the square hall, in a hidden valley, there were bursts of roaring sounds constantly ringing.

Han Li and others flew to the outside of the valley, and saw eight snow-white beams of light straight into the sky, reflecting a white vortex of light in the sky.

"It's bad, the forbidden area formation has been broken, and the formation gate has been opened. Perhaps the villains have already entered the forbidden area." A Saint Puppet Sect elder with white hair and beard said worriedly.

"Quick, let's go into the valley immediately." Another blue-robed old man shouted eagerly.

The four figures blurred, and they entered the depths of the valley in a flash.

Inside the valley, the mountains and rocks along the way were shattered, and the rivers were cut off. You could see barrier lakes blocked by mountains, rocks, and trees everywhere. In many lakes and rocks, you could vaguely see the corpses of some Saint Puppet Sect disciples and elders.

"Elder Lu..."

The blue-robed elder who was flying at the forefront suddenly shook and shouted with a look of grief.

Everyone looked, and saw on a cliff wall directly in front, there was an old man with a fat body and a kind face, who was nailed to it with a silver long sword.

This person was the best friend of the blue-robed elder in the sect.

However, no one stopped, flashed past the old man's body, and hurried towards the place where the beam of light rose in the valley.

A moment later, just as everyone flew to the end of the valley, a silver waterfall more than a hundred feet high came into view.

I saw the waterfall rushing, and the waves splashing on the rocks protruding from the mountain wall, rebounding and throwing out Wanhu silver beads in mid-air, reflecting an arch bridge-like rainbow.

Below the waterfall, there was a deep pool with a wide area of ​​dark green. In the middle of the pool, there was an octagonal white stone altar, and the eight beams of light rising into the sky rose from the altar.

On the land outside the deep pool, there were also bursts of clashing sounds of soldiers and weapons. A tall old man covered in blood and a black-armored puppet with eight arms were being besieged by three Ten Directions Tower cultivators, obviously at the end of their crossbow.

Around them, there were also scattered dozens of corpses of Saint Kui Sect cultivators and puppets, all of them with broken limbs and broken bodies, looking miserable.

Among the three from the Ten Directions Tower, except for a burly man who was a True Immortal Realm cultivator, the other two were only Mahayana Realm cultivators. Seeing the four Saint Puppet Sect True Immortals kill them, they were all shocked, and they glanced at the vortex in the high altitude.

The blue-robed elder had already split his eyes, and immediately roared and rushed towards one of them.

The man held a blood-red long halberd in one hand, and turned his back to pick it up. A smear of blood shot out and slashed towards the neck of the blue-robed old man, but the other hand pinched a strange magic formula, and his whole body began to light up with blood.

"You still want to escape, don't even think about it!"

The blue-robed old man shouted violently, and the long sword picked open the long halberd. A piece of blue light spewed out from the sword edge, instantly lengthening by several feet, and directly beheaded the man.

The other hand immediately waved, and a burst of fire spewed out, covering the man's head, so that his Nascent Soul could not escape, and was completely burned to death.

The other two Ten Directions Tower cultivators did not dare to hesitate any longer, and they all escaped with a flash of light, escaping in two opposite directions.

One of them had just flew a hundred feet away when he was pounced on by a snow-white giant lion puppet, and was pressed to the ground.

And the only True Immortal was surrounded by white light, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a hazy starlight. With one punch, he knocked the Saint Puppet Sect elder who was blocking him back, and with a stomp of his feet, his figure jumped directly thousands of feet and landed outside the valley.

Just as everyone wanted to chase, they saw the tall old man stagger and fall towards the ground.

Han Li's figure flickered and appeared beside him, helping him up, but his eyes were staring in the direction where the man had fled, and his expression was a little strange.

The tall old man's skin and flesh were torn everywhere, and there were at least a hundred bloody wounds deep enough to see the bones, which were flowing with blood, and the whole person was as if pasted with blood plasma.

However, he didn't care about his serious injuries, and pointed his trembling fingers at the vortex in the high altitude, and shouted urgently: "Quick, quick, go... Someone has already broken into the forbidden area."

The expressions of the three Saint Puppet Sects all changed upon hearing this.

The blue-robed old man stepped forward, pierced the head of the man under the giant lion puppet with a sword, and even smashed his Nascent Soul to pieces, and then came to the tall old man's side and took out a pill for him to take.

After taking the pill, the old man's breath, which had been hanging on for a long time, finally dissipated, and his whole body softened and he fainted.

The tattered eight-armed black armor puppet staggered to the old man's side, and also broke its arms and limbs in a series of "clanging" sounds, and scattered.

"This fellow Daoist from the Ever-Changing Alliance, can you trouble you to chase and kill the person just now? It doesn't matter if you succeed or not, as long as you ensure that he won't come back here." The blue-robed old man hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and said to Han Li.

Han Li glanced at the vortex in the high altitude, knowing that they were about to enter the forbidden area of ​​the sect, and it would be inconvenient for him, an outsider, to chase and kill the person inside, so he sent him to chase and kill the person.

"That's what I intend to do." Han Li nodded and said.

After saying that, the light of escape lit up on his body, and his figure disappeared from the spot in a flash.

"Leave the snow lion puppet to take care of Elder Fang, let's go in quickly." The blue-robed old man's face sank slightly, and he said to the other two.

The two nodded, and their figures jumped up at the same time and flew into the vortex in the high altitude.

However, Han Li stopped immediately after flying out of the valley.

His figure was suspended in mid-air, and after glancing around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then his figure turned and flew towards a mountain forest outside the valley.
