724 It Doesn’t Matter, I’ll Make a Move
“A demon at the peak of the Celestial Realm! F*ck!”
The three had hideous expressions as despair welled up in their hearts.
“What’s going on? Wasn’t the most powerful among those demons only in the middle stage of the Celestial Realm?”
The Wang family elder’s face was dark, and he gritted his teeth with a selfish look of displeasure.
As for Wei Tong… She stared in the direction of the demonic power with a grave expression.
“It seems that the demons also have reinforcements. I’m afraid this matter is going to be troublesome!”
Sensing the demon’s aura rapidly approaching, the group tensed up and became nervous.
If there was only one demon at the peak of the Celestial Realm, they might still stand a chance.
However, more than four hundred demons were chasing after Lin Qiye!
Now that Lin Qiye had brought them out to take a detour, even if he could kill a few on the way, the remaining ones were not something they could deal with.
“Let’s retreat. Now that there’s another demon at the peak of the Celestial Realm, there’s no hope!”
The elder of the Wang family glanced in the direction where Lin Qiye had come from and was about to turn around and leave.
“Elder Wang, let’s wait for a while. Lin Qiye is a genius of the human race. If he dies at the hands of the demons, it will be a huge loss for us.”
“That’s right. The only one who has caught up with him is that Celestial demon. If we work together, there’s still a good chance of defeating it.”
Commander Ji and Wei Tong had no intention of retreating.
Seeing this, Elder Wang sneered, his face full of selfishness.
“Aren’t you guys being too optimistic? With just the three of us, can we stop a demon at the peak of the Celestial Realm?”
When he said that, Elder Wang did not take the group of Earth Immortal Realm cultivators, Captain Zhou, and the others into consideration at all.
If they were dealing with other races, they might still have a chance.
However, the individual combat strength of the demons was far superior to that of human cultivators of the same realm.
Other than a small number of monstrous experts like Meng Tu, most Practitioners would have to fight two against one, or even three against one, to gain the upper hand when dealing with demons of the same realm.
As for high-level demons, the losses would undoubtedly be heavy if they used the crowd tactic.
Wei Tong’s expression was solemn as she stared at Lin Qiye, rapidly approaching.
“The three of us might not fight against that demon, but don’t forget about that guy.”
Hearing this, the group fell silent.
That’s right. The scene of Lin Qiye fighting more than eight hundred demons alone was still fresh in their mind.
It was not an exaggeration to say that his battle prowess was not below the group of them.
“I think we can try.”
“Yes, this space has been sealed. Even if we want to escape, we may be caught by that demon. Why don’t we wait for Lin Qiye to come?”
“Yes, at least he’s here. Even if we can’t defeat that demon, we won’t suffer any casualties.”
The crowd chimed in, and soon, they all nodded to express their opinions.
Now that the nearby space had been sealed, they had no way to escape quickly even if they had mastered teleportation.
In terms of speed, they couldn’t outrun a demon at the peak of the Celestial Realm.
If everyone were to flee for their lives and wait for the demons to defeat them one by one…
Even if the demon didn’t have the clone technique, many people would probably die.
No one dared to bet whether they would be the ones chased by the demon.
Elder Wang’s expression was dark. Almost everyone did not agree with his point of view. Even his subordinates looked at him silently.
It was obvious he didn’t want to run away at the risk of being targeted by a demon in the Celestial Realm.
“Hmph! I hope you’re not overestimating that fellow.”
Elder Wang snorted coldly. When he looked in Lin Qiye’s direction, a sinister look appeared in the depths of his eyes.
…
In less than half a minute, Lin Qiye turned into a flash of lightning and appeared in front of the group.
Before he could express his gratitude to the crowd, Elder Wang could not help but sneer.
“What a vicious guy! You tricked us into coming here without telling us the enemy’s strength!”
Lin Qiye couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
What was going on?
He doesn’t know that old man. Why was he so hostile?
“Elder Wang, now isn’t the time to pin the blame.”
Wei Tong glanced at Elder Wang, then turned to Lin Qiye with a smile.
“Please don’t take offense, Mr. Lin. You should tell us about the situation first.”
“Right. We must think of a way to deal with that demon now.”
Commander Ji also stepped out to smooth things over.
Lin Qiye glanced at Elder Wang and saw his constipated expression. He ignored him and turned to look at Wei Tong and the others with a smile.
“I’m extremely grateful for everyone’s help. The situation is as you can see. The guy chasing me is quite capable, so it’ll be more troublesome for me to deal with him alone.”
Hearing this, the group looked at him in shock.
Quite capable? More troublesome?
Was this an evaluation of a demon at the peak of the Celestial Realm?
Even if he was bragging, he shouldn’t be so over!
Quite a few people quickly revealed looks of disdain, thinking Lin Qiye was a braggart.
When Elder Wang heard his words, he said sarcastically, “You’re really not afraid of biting your tongue. I think everyone should think about how to escape first. Otherwise, when the demons catch up, I’m afraid more than half of us will die here today.”
