NOVPUB"Not good! They have already started to surround the exit of the escape route below Juhai Pass!"
Aboard the large ship, the Nascent Soul old man held the compass in his hand, his face color drastically changing.
"They’ve come so quickly! Do they know we’re here?"
The black-clad, stern-faced young man, Shen Fu, showed a solemn expression.
The three-eyed youth on the opposite side declared decisively:
"Quick! Pull over those Rogue Cultivators from behind! Let them push to the front and draw the attention of the Three Continents’ Cultivators!"
The Nascent Soul old man was startled and hastily said:
"Prince Gong’s words are extremely true! I will immediately send someone over!"
Just as he was about to leave, he was coldly stopped by Shen Fu:
"Hold on!"
"Those Rogue Cultivators are just a bunch of misfits; they won’t serve as a distraction. Going there would only allow the enemies to be on guard... I have some Thunder Seeds here. As soon as they come out, immediately detonate the Thunder Seeds! Taken by surprise, they will surely suffer heavy losses!"
Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul old man immediately agreed in his heart. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Yet, his gaze involuntarily turned hesitantly toward the three-eyed youth.
To his surprise, after a moment of hesitation, the youth surprisingly nodded:
"Then let’s follow... Junior Brother Shen’s plan. It is most important that we escape from here right now."
Seeing that the three-eyed youth did not oppose him, the Nascent Soul old man let out a sigh of relief and thought no more of it, taking it as the other party being sensible.
He hastily said:
"I also have some ’Blood Demon Seeds’ here; I will go set them up now."
"Together!"
Shen Fu’s voice was heavy as he said:
"Ambush them with these items; if they are caught off guard, they will surely fall into disarray. At the exit on our side, we will take advantage of the opportunity to strike. As long as we could kill any Nascent Soul Later Stage Cultivator first, we would have a chance to live and return!"
"Kill a Nascent Soul Later Stage Cultivator..."
The Nascent Soul old man hesitated for a moment but then nodded firmly.
The mighty holy child troop that came to the Northsea Continent now had only three Nascent Soul Cultivators left.
The one with the highest Cultivation Base was the fifth holy child, Gong Xiyin, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator.
For ordinary cultivators, defeating someone stronger, particularly a Nascent Soul Later Stage opponent, was nearly impossible.
But Gong Xiyin and Shen Fu, as holy children from within the sect, having inherited nine major traditions, possessed combat strength far beyond ordinary cultivators.
Although killing a Nascent Soul Later Stage Cultivator in the first moments was extremely difficult, it was not entirely without possibility.
The biggest problem was whether the enemy would give them such a chance.
Also, there was the matter of whether there were indeed only those three Nascent Soul Later Stage Cultivators from the Three Continents this time.
His thoughts raced.
However, the Nascent Soul old man quickly steered the large ship, rapidly arriving at the entrance of the passage before Juhai Pass.
The three of them looked down at the partly thawed sea where the ice of Juhai Pass intersected.
"The Three Continents’ Cultivators will definitely come out from here, and they will surely check first. We must be discreet with our methods!"
Shen Fu warned in a deep voice.
The Nascent Soul old man promptly nodded.
The three-eyed youth seemed displeased, causing the Nascent Soul old man to take another look, but thankfully, there was no outburst, and he quickly began to set up his methods.
The Golden Core Craftsmen aboard the ship also came out one after another to supply various materials to the three Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Previously, when the four holy children went out to search for the Azure Fire Paulownia Tree, they only took their own Nascent Soul Protectors and left a Nascent Soul Cultivator and other Golden Core Craftsmen who couldn’t help much, without imagining that, due to a twist of fate, this would actually save their lives.
They quickly set up for a while.
The Nascent Soul old man hurriedly took out the compass again, his face tensing up:
"So fast! They’re almost here!"
"Formation!"
Shen Fu shouted lowly, and the three-eyed youth also hurriedly called out.
The Golden Core Craftsmen of the Holy Sect immediately drew closer together and each took their positions, holding an array flag with a special magical pattern drawn on it.
Instantly above these Golden Core Craftsmen, an aura at around the Nascent Soul Middle Stage rose.
The three-eyed youth hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand.
An invisible curtain suddenly flew out from his sleeve and pressed above everyone.
In a flash, all of them disappeared from their original location.
If an outsider came, they would detect not a trace of aura.
"Is this Prince Gong’s ’Formless Unseen Shield’? Truly extraordinary!"
"Shut up!"
The three-eyed youth irritably scolded, his gaze fixed on the area below.
The Nascent Soul old man smiled awkwardly.
Having embarrassed himself but not daring to say more, he felt the fluctuations coming from the water below and quickly focused his gaze on the sea surface not far away.
Shen Fu, too, swiftly mobilized his mana, similarly fixing his gaze on the sea surface.
At that moment.
The sea surface, which had been mildly rippling, suddenly roiled with waves.
Suddenly a stocky figure flew out from below, leading the way.
The figure was muscular, dressed in simple robes.
An aura of a Nascent Soul Later Stage Cultivator radiated from his body!
Upon emerging, his Spiritual Sense swept around without restraint, but he detected no threats nearby, and immediately shouted loudly to those below:
"I told you so."
"There’s nothing dangerous here, though it seems there might be some small fry ahead..."
With the stocky cultivator’s call, the waves below became even more intense.
Soon.
The ice near the seawater exploded suddenly.
A mechanical beast the size of half a small mountain leaped out from beneath the ice.
Then several similar mechanical beasts crawled out from the seabed.
Following that, doors opened on the bodies of these mechanical beasts, one after another.
