Chapter 1092: Chapter 490: Devastating Losses (Part 3)
Seeing the remaining four Golden Core Realm experts chasing after him, Li Yunjing dared not linger.
Having killed an expert from the Nangong Family, the situation had escalated, and Li Yunjing was unsure if the ancestral elders of the Nangong Clan, in their rage, would come back to retaliate.
If a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator returned, they would be doomed.
Without any hesitation, Li Yunjing quickly turned and stepped onto the teleportation array!
Just as Li Yunjing stepped onto the teleportation array, Nangong Long, Nangong Hu, and the two elders chased after him like madmen.
"Kid, where do you think you’re going?"
Nangong Long’s eyes blazed red with fury, and the long sword in his hand, filled with boundless rage, stabbed towards Li Yunjing, with the sword Qi slicing through the air with a sharp whistle.
"Heh!"
Li Yunjing glanced at his opponent with disdain, sneering as he stood in front of the teleportation array, and with a wave of the "Myriad Poison Banner," he blocked Nangong Long’s offensive!
"Wraiths Devour the Heart!"
Nangong Hu roared in anger, and with a "boom," countless ferocious ghosts formed into a fierce tiger, lunging at Li Yunjing with lethal intent.
"Collect!"
The "Myriad Poison Banner" unfurled, and a green curtain formed before Li Yunjing, capturing the tiger spirit just as it charged.
"Frozen World!"
"Chase with an Arrow!"
The remaining two elders, one using Ice Divine Techniques to try and freeze Li Yunjing to stop him from reaching the teleportation array, while the other, bending his bow and nocking an arrow, shot fiercely at Li Yunjing from a distance!
"Boom!"
Li Yunjing knew he could not retreat at this moment, lightly stepping forward onto the teleportation array.
At the same time, the tricks he had prepared were finally triggered.
The restriction near the teleportation array began to unravel, suddenly revealing a defensive array set up by Li Yunjing.
"Clang..."
The arrow struck the array, while the Ice Divine Techniques were blocked outside the teleportation array by the Nangong Family’s own restriction.
"Clatter, clatter!"
At this moment, the teleportation array was activated, with the energy from the spirit stones being absorbed by the array, and the teleportation was about to commence!
"Rumble!"
The runes on the teleportation array began to flicker with strange light, growing brighter and brighter, causing the entire array to slightly tremble.
Seeing this, Nangong Long and the others attacked even more frantically, attempting to stop the activation of the teleportation array.
But they ended up shooting themselves in the foot; the Nangong Family’s teleportation array retaliated against them at once.
"Damn it!"
Nangong Hu cursed, unable to hold back as he shouted, "Where is the Array Master? Quickly shut down the teleportation array!"
"Second brother! It’s too late!"
Nangong Long held back the frenzied Nangong Hu, gesturing for him to calm down.
At this moment, the four Golden Core Realm experts of the Nangong Family looked ashen.
In this battle, their family lost Nangong Batian, and Nangong Bao was severely poisoned, unsure if there was any way to save him.
As for the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, if not three hundred, then at least two hundred were dead.
As for the Qi Refining Realm cultivators and mortals, the casualties amounted to tens of thousands!
These were all the bloodline of the Nangong Clan!
Such a massive loss had not occurred in the past thousands of years for the Nangong Family!
Even in the wars with the Shenxiao Dao Sect over the years, many clansmen had fallen, but it was never this brutal.
This was the greatest loss since the rise of the Nangong Clan.
"This vendetta must be avenged! These four must die!"
Seeing the teleportation array complete, another elder coldly squeezed out these two words.
"If this grudge is not avenged, I, Nangong Hu, swear not to be human! Those four dare to be so rampant in the Nangong Family, causing the clan such devastation, I will chop them to pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Nangong Hu’s eyes were bloodshot, staring hard at the teleportation array, now dimmed and inactive, with clenched fists, joints white.
Not yet satisfied, he kicked a nearby boulder heavily, shattering it into pieces.
"That brat surnamed Li, I remember him! When I find them, I will make him taste a fate worse than death!"
Another elder emerging from seclusion, equally fierce-looking, said, "This time, the clan lost so many members, especially our third brother Batian, who was brutally slain by that scoundrel! I wish I could drag them back from the other end of the teleportation array right now!"
His voice trembled with anger, his eyes seemed to blaze with fire.
"The clan spent countless resources nurturing our descendants, and they are gone... tens of thousands, including so many elite Foundation Establishment cultivators, setting our clan’s strength back years!"
Nangong Long’s body slightly trembled, his face full of grief and anguish, "It is the fault of those outsiders, and they must pay a terrible price to comfort the spirits of our dead clansmen in heaven."
With that, he couldn’t help but burst into tears, covering his face with both hands, overwhelmed with sorrow.
"Send a message to the front line, report to the ancestor!"
"Also, summon someone to guard the clan! The four of us will immediately use the teleportation array to pursue them, to the death!"
The elder with the bow spoke with determination and ferocity, already envisioning the demise of Li Yunjing and his companions.
...
As the four elders of the Nangong Clan prepared to cross worlds via the teleportation array, Li Yunjing and his companions had already reached the northernmost part of Youyue Country.
This was the border of Youyue Country, beyond which lay the Red Flame Country, another realm of influence.
Near the border of Youyue Country and the Red Flame Country lay one end of the Endless Mountain Range, from this border area, one could enter the mountains.
Entering the Endless Mountain Range was not the end; finding the opening to the Celestial Ruins Secret Realm still required more time.
