Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 208

On this fine day, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow. The nine people were resting and recuperating in a quiet valley.

However, at that moment, a sudden disturbance broke the tranquility.

A group of cultivators dressed in black robes, exuding a mysterious aura, appeared like ghosts from all around the valley. Without exchanging a single word, they launched a fierce attack.

"Who is it? How dare they attack us without a word!" Mo Jian has always had a fiery temper. Seeing the other party attacking so unreasonably, he roared and brandished his long sword with great force, charging towards the group of black-robed cultivators without hesitation.

The others quickly came to their senses and unleashed their unique skills, throwing themselves into the fierce battle.

These black-robed cultivators were clearly no ordinary people; their attacks were ruthless and fierce, each move carrying a deadly threat.

"They don't seem to belong to either the Blood Demon Sect or the Heavenly Yin Sect. What's their background?" Wen Xin asked repeatedly, her longsword flashing as she asked her companions.

Gu Shihan was intently observing the techniques and routines used by these black-robed cultivators when suddenly an idea flashed through her mind: "I can tell, they are from the Shadow Sect. This sect is known for its assassinations and sneak attacks, so everyone must be careful!" Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened and they became even more vigilant.

Shi Qinghan took a deep breath and circulated his spiritual energy at full speed. In an instant, his body shone brightly, and a powerful force gathered in his palms as he unleashed his unique skill – "Thousand Blade Sky-Splitting Slash".

A dazzling red light shot towards the group of black-robed cultivators like lightning, creating gusts of wind in its wake, its power astonishing. Several screams rang out as the red light instantly repelled several black-robed cultivators.

Seeing this, Gu Shihan seized the opportunity to flick her wrist and throw out several specially crafted array plates.

These array plates spun rapidly in the air and fell to the ground. Upon landing, they immediately transformed into trapping arrays that shimmered with strange light, firmly trapping some of the black-robed cultivators within them.

The Shadow Sect members were clearly caught off guard by the fact that these nine people were so difficult to deal with, and their originally orderly attack rhythm suddenly became chaotic.

At that critical moment, Mo Yu's eyes blazed with determination as he intently watched the battle, pinpointing the enemy's weakness. Without hesitation, he roared, "Brothers and sisters, now is the time to press on and deliver a fatal blow!"

As he shouted, the people around him responded, and in an instant, swords clashed and shouts of battle resounded through the sky.

With everyone working together in close coordination, the initially arrogant black-robed cultivators gradually found themselves at a disadvantage. Their attacks became chaotic, and their defenses began to falter.

Finally, one of the black-robed cultivators could not withstand such a fierce attack and turned to flee the battlefield.

"We absolutely cannot let these guys get away like this! We must find out why they attacked us for no reason!" Gu Shihan shouted angrily, his eyes wide open, as he flashed forward and chased after the fleeing black-robed cultivator like an arrow.

With agile movements, she closed the distance to her target in just a few leaps.

Upon catching up, Gu Shihan swung her longsword fiercely, unleashing a sharp sword aura that instantly knocked the black-robed cultivator to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, she made a hand seal, and several beams of light instantly entered the black-robed cultivator's body, firmly imprisoning him and making it impossible for him to escape.

The imprisoned black-robed cultivator was deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror. Faced with Gu Shihhan's interrogation, he stammered out the truth.

It turned out that the Shadow Sect had received a mysterious secret order, claiming that Gu Shihan and her companions were carrying incomparably precious treasures. This was why the Shadow Sect had dispatched numerous experts to seize them. After understanding the situation, Gu Shihan and her group quickly dealt with the scene and continued their perilous journey. They were well aware that countless unknown challenges and dangers awaited them ahead.

The journey has been fraught with hardship. We've been through several fierce battles, each one a life-or-death struggle.

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. By chance, they discovered a route that seemed to be frequented by the Blood Demon Sect.

Upon seeing this clue, Mo Yu frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Junior Sister, we need to think this over carefully. You must know that the Shadow Sect is merely a branch of the Blood Demon Sect. After this incident, we've probably already been blacklisted by the Blood Demon Sect! If we rashly go to investigate, we might encounter even greater danger."

“Go! With so many evil organizations appearing all of a sudden, there must be a big problem in the Heavenly Court. If we want to cultivate in peace, we can’t let this world undergo even greater changes.” Gu Shihan nodded.

“Shi Han, you’re right. They say heroes emerge in chaotic times. We may not be heroes, but we can still do our part. Besides, our merits seem to be the nemesis of the Blood Demon Sect. If we don’t take action, it will be harder for others to deal with them than for us.” Gu Jiahui nodded in agreement.

“Let’s follow the clues!” Duan Siqi said.

The group of nine searched and searched until they came to a secluded valley. Before they even got close, they sensed that something was wrong.

"Everyone be careful, use isolation talismans, and also use invisibility talismans!" Gu Shihan reminded.

"Hanhan, there's a barrier, watch this!" Xingbai waved her little paw, and a gap appeared that could accommodate two people.

The nine people stepped into the gap, and the valley was filled with a thick, nauseating stench of blood.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force struck, and everyone almost lost their footing.

It turned out that there was an evil blood sacrifice array operating in the valley, with a continuous flow of blood energy being added to it.

"It must be destroyed!" Gu Shihan shouted.

With everyone working together, they unleashed their most powerful spells to bombard the magic array.

The magic array shook violently, and experts from the Blood Demon Sect appeared to stop it.

Gu Shihan and her group engaged in a fierce battle with the Blood Demon Sect experts. The Blood Demon Sect experts were numerous and each possessed immense magical power, but Gu Shihan's group of nine coordinated perfectly.

Wenxin quietly circled around to the back and released a distraction spell, affecting the vision of the Blood Demon Sect experts.

Shi Qinghan seized the opportunity and used the special ability of the Mustard Seed Space to suddenly take in several Blood Demon Sect experts.

Mo Yu and several others joined forces to unleash a large sword formation, which instantly created a crisscrossing sword aura and suppressed another group of Blood Demon Sect experts.

Gu Shihan focused his energy, found the key point of the blood sacrifice formation, and launched a full-force attack.
