745: Chapter 224_1 745: Chapter 224_1 The Hundred Peaks Sect had deployed a mundane Flying Boat, which was a work of mechanical techniques.
Only those who were at the Earth Immortal Realm could operate the Treasure Flying Ships that provided protection.
Indeed, a mundane Flying Boat didn’t offer much defense; if someone attacked it from the outside, the people inside would be in quite a passive position.
Therefore, the strongest among them, Little Bei Yan, stayed outside the vessel.
His cultivation base was high, his mana plentiful, and his flying speed more than adequate.
Moreover, he could keep up with the Flying Boat for a long duration.
The group of children, however, was aboard a Flying Boat for the first time and were all marveling at the novelty.
But soon enough, many began to grow anxious and irritable.
After all, they were joining the Hundred Peaks Sect, which meant leaving their parents behind.
Without their parents’ presence, several kids, merely two or three years old, started to cry desperately.
Fortunately, Mi Lian had previous experience with this and, seeing the crying children, he raised his hand and cast a Calm Mind Spell.
In no time, the children inside the Flying Boat quieted down.
Meanwhile, the Flying Boat didn’t head towards Hundred Peaks Sect but continued flying into the distance.
They were not only going to one city to recruit disciples; they were responsible for five cities in total.
Bei Yan and the disciples, accompanied by the children, proceeded to various cities to recruit more disciples.
After a week, they finished recruiting the last batch of disciples from the final city.
The Flying Boat took off again, heading towards the direction of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Although Jijiang City was close to the Hundred Peaks Sect, Bei Yan and his group had unknowingly traveled far from the Sect during their journey.
But they were not the only ones who had traveled far from the Sect.
When they left the Hundred Peaks Sect, they had calculated their route, and his group wasn’t too far from Li Ke’s group, so they planned to rendezvous and return together.
With only half a day’s travel left to reach the agreed meeting point with Li Ke.
As the Flying Boat soared over a forest of mountains, suddenly, streaks of demonic qi surged within the mountain range.
Outside the Flying Boat, Bei Yan, although fatigued from the long flight, remained highly focused.
Before leaving the Hundred Peaks Sect, Xiang Ziyu had repeatedly instructed him, since he was going as Xiang Ziyu’s temporary replacement—the usual protagonist—who often ran into troubles when venturing out, the Demon Sect might likely target Little Bei Yan’s team if they planned to attack a group from the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Bei Yan’s face tensed as he sensed the demonic qi crashing towards them from all directions.
The ten massive Golden Cores completed in his Pill Fusion radiated brilliant light from his back.
The Flame Monster Chicken carrying the scent of evil.
As if it were a precious pagoda from beyond; as if it were a giant warhammer from the Ancient Era.
The phantoms of seven treasures—gold, silver, glazed glass, coral, amber, tridacna, and agate—appeared one by one.
As the endless demonic qi came hurtling from below, those phantoms around Little Bei Yan’s body turned tangible and violently rushed towards the incoming demonic qi.
Inside the Flying Boat, waves of mana gathered around Chang Tiance as he poured it into the Sound Transmission Talisman given to him by Bei Yan.
He quickly sent a message, “Sister Li Ke, we are under attack in the Vast Fence Mountain Area.”
The next moment, Li Ke’s voice came through the talisman.
“Hold them off; I’ll arrive shortly.”
As Chang Tiance communicated, Mi Lian led a group of Golden Core Stage disciples who shot out rapidly.
In no time, each disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect used their Divine Skills to counter the sudden demonic spell attack.
In a flash, the sky was filled with collisions of Divine Skills that caused the area to shake violently.
Thunderous explosions filled the air, creating ripples of visible shockwaves that spread out like ripples in water, striking the surrounding mountains, causing avalanches and rocks to tumble down.
The children inside the Flying Boat immediately turned pale.
However, by then, all the members of the Hundred Peaks Sect had already rushed out, with no time to tend to the children.
Even Chang Tiance, after notifying Li Ke, flew out immediately.
In regards to these children, they could only witness this frightful scene.
After the event, they would apply spells to calm them down so they wouldn’t be left with any psychological trauma.
Since the Flying Boat carried the newly recruited disciples, once the Hundred Peaks Sect members flew out, they surrounded the vessel for its defense.
Soon after, attackers who had ambushed them also emerged from the forest below the Flying Boat.
Recognizing the eroded clothing of their adversaries, Mi Lian’s expression shifted slightly.
“Red Refinery Demonic Sect!”
He realized that during their recruitment journey, they might encounter an attack from the Demon Sect.
He had thought it would be the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, but surprisingly, it was the long-absent Red Refinery Demonic Sect.
However…
He glanced down, noticing that there were roughly seventy opponents from the Red Refinery Demonic Sect in the Golden Core Stage.
Moreover, the Red Refinery Demonic Sect’s Golden Core cultivators did not have many cores; there were even some at the first and second layers of the Golden Core Stage, while all the weakest in the Hundred Peaks Sect were at the fourth layer.
