Chapter 383: Chapter 363: Angry Rebuke

"Who’s breaking through? Could it be Xiao Yunhong?"

"It must be him. There are many Golden Core Peak Cultivators, but here in Golden Crow City, he’s the most likely one to break through!"

Astonished, the Nascent Soul Cultivators began to speculate, and they soon reached a conclusion.

However, it was just speculation; they couldn’t be one hundred percent certain.

"What should we do?"

The cultivators couldn’t help but hesitate.

"Let’s ignore it for now and wait until they’ve finished their breakthrough. Besides, no matter who it is, a single Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator can’t change a thing!"

"Our top priority is to take care of Zhang Chi. That way, even if it really is Xiao Yunhong who’s breaking through, it will be far too late for him to save Zhang Chi by the time he’s finished!"

Yu Wan made her decision immediately.

"Good!"

The other Nascent Soul Cultivators nodded in agreement.

In truth, they had all considered interrupting the breakthrough, but in the end, they refrained from doing so.

For one thing, they still didn’t know who it was.

For another, such an act would surely earn them the condemnation of cultivators throughout the world.

After all, at a time like this, every Nascent Soul Cultivator was vital to the Great Abyss Human Race.

Even in their current plot against Zhang Chi, they had already found a proper pretext, believing they had a just cause for their actions.

With that, their gazes turned once more to the City Lord’s Mansion.

BOOM!

But before they could even enter, another enormous pillar of Spiritual Light erupted in the distance, shooting toward the heavens. Spiritual Qi from hundreds of miles around surged in like a tidal wave, and strange phenomena once again filled the sky.

"This... another cultivator is undergoing Nascent Soul Formation?"

Yu Wan and the others were stunned again; for a moment, the situation felt completely unreal.

After all, a successful Nascent Soul Formation was already a rare sight, let alone two occurring in the same place on the same day.

Furthermore, with the first Nascent Soul Formation, they could guess that it was probably Xiao Yunhong. This second time, however, they were completely in the dark.

BOOM!

However, to their surprise, another huge commotion erupted soon after. This time it wasn’t a cultivator undergoing Nascent Soul Formation, but it was no less extraordinary: a Nascent Soul Early Stage True Monarch had just successfully broken through to the next Realm.

"Oh no! This must be the Profound Yin Sect Leader! He’s broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!"

This time, the expressions on the faces of Yu Wan and the others finally turned grim.

Besides themselves and Zhang Chi, the Profound Yin Sect Leader was the only other Nascent Soul Cultivator in Golden Crow City.

Since Zhang Chi was in the City Lord’s Mansion, the one breaking through could only be the Profound Yin Sect Leader.

If he completed his breakthrough, dealing with Zhang Chi would no longer be so easy.

"No! We absolutely cannot let him complete his breakthrough. We have to find a pretext to interrupt him!"

"Agreed!"

The Nascent Soul Cultivators finally understood. The father and son of the Xiao Family hadn’t shown themselves, not because they were afraid, but because they were on the verge of breaking through.

By not appearing, they clearly intended to confront them with greater strength after their breakthroughs.

Therefore, they naturally couldn’t just stand by and let them succeed.

ROAR!

But at that very moment, violent tremors and the roars of Demons suddenly erupted from the northern part of the city.

Soon, the roars merged into a single, overwhelming chorus. Then, high in the sky, Tier Four Demons, Demon Beasts, and a large number of Nascent Soul Cultivators from the True Demon Sect appeared.

"Damn it! Why now of all times? They never show up usually!"

"Could they be here for Zhang Chi, too?"

"Never mind that! We have to hold them back first. If Golden Crow City falls, we’ll all lose our foothold!"

The expressions of Yu Wan and the others turned even darker.

They desperately wanted to ignore the invading Demon Tide, but that was clearly impossible, as they all had factions to protect.

Moreover, as one of the key fortresses, if Golden Crow City were to fall, the Demon Tide would surely push deep into their territory. When that happened, the Great Abyss would truly be finished.

In truth, they didn’t care that much about the Great Abyss itself. But when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. If the Great Abyss fell, their own factions would be destroyed, and they would be forced to retreat to their Grotto Heavens to live out their days.

"Zhang Chi, what are you still hiding for? Get out here and help us fight the Demon Tide!"

By this point, the higher-ups of the Profound Yin Sect had already activated the Grand Array. Yu Wan and the other Nascent Soul Cultivators immediately flew into the sky, preparing for battle.

However, none of them wanted to let Zhang Chi reap the benefits while they fought. So, they all shouted, demanding he join the battle.

That way, during the chaos of battle, they could use some simple tricks to get Zhang Chi killed. Afterward, they could capture his Nascent Soul and perform a Soul Search to learn all of his secrets.

It would be even simpler than attacking him directly themselves.

’Heh, in your dreams!’

Unfortunately for them, Zhang Chi, who was inside the City Lord’s Mansion, only sneered in contempt. He remained as steady as a mountain.

In truth, Zhang Chi hadn’t expected the True Demon Sect cultivators to attack so suddenly either, but after a moment’s thought, he immediately understood what was happening.

’They must be trying to wipe out all the higher-ups of the Great Abyss in one fell swoop.’

’It was just a shame that they, just like Yu Wan and her group, had underestimated him.’

However, he had no intention of making a move just yet. His attention was focused primarily on Jian Jinfeng and the Xiao Family’s father and son.

’Protecting those three and ensuring their breakthroughs were not disturbed was the top priority.’

’As for Golden Crow City, with the Grand Array and people like Yu Wan holding the line, it would surely be safe for the time being.’

’In fact, the arrival of the True Demon Sect cultivators was perfect. They would keep Yu Wan and her cronies busy, preventing them from interrupting Jian Jinfeng and the others during their breakthroughs.’

’At the same time, this gave him the perfect opportunity to wipe out all his enemies in one fell swoop.’

"Damn you, Zhang Chi! You just wait!"

"That’s right! We’ll let you cower for a little longer. We’ll make you pay later!"

Ignored by Zhang Chi, Yu Wan and the others were furious but helpless. They had no choice but to engage the True Demon Sect on their own.

Meanwhile, the vast number of cultivators in Golden Crow City had no time to celebrate the Human Race gaining two new Nascent Soul experts. Under the command of the Profound Yin Sect’s leadership, they immediately joined the battle.
