Chapter 256 - 239: Both Sides Suffer
After successfully cleaving Han Zhanyi's body in two, Duan Gujin cast a spell and gathered Primordial Power.Moments later, a blaze erupted from his hands, hurtling towards Han Zhanyi's bisected body.
With a thunderous boom, Han Zhanyi's body was struck by the flames released by Duan Gujin, burning fiercely in the Void.
Seeing this, everyone cheered.
They knew that the real threat, the Sky Crossing Demon King, had not been eliminated, and that he was still lying in wait; they had merely destroyed one of his pawns.
Yet, they still felt an overwhelming joy; they had finally eradicated Han Zhanyi, the traitor of the Human Clan.
Immediately after, they felt as though their chests had been hammered severely, with a sudden, excruciating pain.hought they could no longer endure, the unexpected happened—the Sky Crossing Demon King in the sky ahead of them abruptly vanished into thin air right under their eyes.
"Where did he go?"
Although they were certain that the opponent had truly disappeared, they did not lower their guard at all, fearing that this might be a devious trap set by the Hateful Sky Demon King.
Fifteen minutes later, the Palace Master quickly used a transmission spell to inform everyone.
"Everyone, I'm sure the Sky Crossing Demon King has really left!"
After hearing the Palace Master's words, the crowd cheered.
"Don't celebrate too early, everyone! Quickly consume Elixir Pills; recover as much Primordial Power as possible."
After heeding the Palace Master's words, they knew that danger could be lurking nearby.
So, they did not let themselves get carried away with joy, but hurriedly swallowed some Elixir Pills to recover their Primordial Power.
Time flowed like water, and two hours went by quickly.
The Palace Master and the others kept extending their Divine Sense, not detecting any presence nearby, and all of them couldn't help but exhale a breath of relief.
"It's really good! It seems like the Sky Crossing Demon King really did run away!"
Everyone speculated for a while and felt that it was very likely that the Sky Crossing Demon King, seeing that he couldn't defeat the Palace Master and others, had no choice but to flee passively.
"We're retreating now!"
Previously, the Palace Master had not commanded everyone to retreat immediately because she was worried that the Sky Crossing Demon King might be lurking in the surrounding Void.
If they did not quickly consume some Elixir Pills to recover some Primordial Power, and the Sky Crossing Demon King came back to settle the score, they would be in great trouble.
But after an hour since the Sky Crossing Demon King had left, every Martial Artist present had regained some of their Physical Strength.
They knew that they could regain Physical Strength, and the Sky Crossing Demon King could clearly also recover Primordial Power.
If the Sky Crossing Demon King also took this time to restore his spent Primordial Power, the result of a renewed conflict would become uncertain once again.
The Palace Master and others did not want to place themselves in such a dangerous situation; therefore, she ordered everyone to immediately withdraw from the area.
The group slowly began to retreat, carrying with them the Demon Suppression Stele, aware that their movement speed would be significantly reduced with the artifact in tow.
But at this point, they had no other choice.
If they didn't carry the Demon Suppression Stele with them, and the Sky Crossing Demon King suddenly appeared and intercepted them, they could well imagine the consequences.
The Palace Master and others did not want to take this risk; they had no choice but to slowly leave with the Demon Suppression Stele in tow.
