Chapter 804 - 330: It’s Him, Elder Chu! (3)

Among them, four were Tier Three Demon Beasts, and one was a Tier Four Demon Beast.

Seeing this scene, Chu Ning was not particularly surprised.

After all, the highest Cultivation among this group was only the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and even facing Tier Three Demon Beasts of the Same Tier was already somewhat strenuous.

Let alone a Tier Four Demon Beast.

Chu Ning immediately directed the Golden Thunder Eagle to fly toward this group of Cultivators with Flying Escape.

Although he was not a kindhearted person, seeing a group of Cultivators being chased by Demon Beasts, and knowing he could save a few lives with a mere lift of his hand...

Chu Ning had no reason to turn a blind eye.

The Golden Thunder Eagle’s speed was far faster than that of the Demon Beasts behind; in just the blink of an eye, it had already flown to a spot more than ten miles ahead of this group of Cultivators.

There were men and women, old and young among them, and the one with the highest Cultivation, a Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivator, was an old man in yellow robes.

His perception of auras was also the sharpest.

Previously, when Chu Ning and the Golden Thunder Eagle were far away, he could not sense them.

But now, as the Golden Thunder Eagle drew closer, the aura on that Tier Five Demon Beast instantly drew this Cultivator’s attention.

Chu Ning’s aura, on the other hand, was relatively restrained and was not sensed by him.

"It’s over, there’s a Tier Five Demon Beast ahead!"

The old man, who had been leading everyone in flight, came to an abrupt halt, his face turning ashen.

The other Cultivators also stopped one after another, their faces full of terror.

"Tier Five Demon Beast?"

They already could not handle a Tier Four Demon Beast; now that a Tier Five Demon Beast had appeared, they truly were doomed.

The old man nodded slightly, turned, and said:

"Everyone scatter and flee on your own. Whoever can escape, escapes. Quickly, if you’re late it’ll be too late."

As soon as the old man finished, everyone was about to flee in all directions.

But in the next instant, their expressions all changed drastically.

The Tier Five Demon Beast’s speed far exceeded their expectations; in the time it took them to exchange just those few words, that Demon Beast had already flown to within a hundred zhang of them.

Immediately after, they felt a dark-golden afterimage streak across above their heads.

Before they could react, they saw a massive eagle pass over them, rushing to meet the Demon Beasts chasing from behind.

They saw this giant eagle fly directly up to that Tier Four Demon Beast which had just driven them into a desperate flight, and its sharp talons came clawing down.

The Tier Four Demon Beast frantically surged its Demon Power, yet it could not resist at all.

Under that single claw it was ripped cleanly in half, causing everyone’s faces to involuntarily show shock and horror.

But very soon, their attention fell on the back of this eagle.

"There seems to be someone on the eagle’s back!

This isn’t a Demon Beast, it’s a Spirit Beast raised by one of our human Cultivators!"

This discovery instantly made the faces of the more than twenty Cultivators light up with joy.

Each of them felt as though they had narrowly escaped death.

As they were speaking, they saw that massive Golden Eagle claw toward another Tier Three Demon Beast.

Even a Tier Four Demon Beast could not withstand one claw, so there was no need to mention a Tier Three Demon Beast.

One claw, instant death.

This immediately sent the remaining three Demon Beasts fleeing in panic, while that dark-golden giant eagle flashed once more in midair, leaving another afterimage as it gave chase.

But as for what happened afterward, the Cultivators had no time to keep watching.

For at this moment, they saw the figure on the eagle’s back, after the eagle flew off to pursue and kill, already flying toward them.

"Greetings, Elder!"

Although Chu Ning looked young, the aura of a Golden Core Cultivator on him was solid and unmistakable.

Once the old man sensed it, he immediately bowed in salute.

The others also hurriedly followed suit and saluted.

A few younger Cultivators, at this moment, could not help but secretly raise their eyes to size up Chu Ning, whose apparent age looked about the same as theirs.

"Such a young Golden Core Elder, that truly is extremely rare."

Their gazes naturally could not escape Chu Ning’s notice, but he did not pay them much mind for now; his eyes fell on the old man as he opened his mouth and asked:

"Where did you come from, and why are you being hunted by this group of Demon Beasts instead of heading toward White Sand Island?"

"To answer Elder, we juniors have just come from White Sand Island. White Sand Island is currently under siege by Demon Beasts attacking the island from all sides.

We were originally Cultivators in the vicinity of the island. By the time we realized something was wrong and wanted to return, it was already too late.

Instead, we were locked onto by these few Demon Beasts and chased all the way."

"White Sand Island is being besieged by Nine Demon Beasts? Roughly how many Demon Beasts? What Levels are they?"

As Chu Ning asked, he simultaneously released his Divine Sense fully, probing toward White Sand Island.

"There are many Demon Beasts, densely packed. As for exactly how many, and what Level they are, we juniors were too far away and do not know. But I feel there seemed to be quite a few Tier Five and Team Six Demon Beasts..."

Before the old man had finished speaking, he felt the figure before his eyes blur, and Chu Ning’s figure in front of him had already vanished.

He only vaguely saw, in the direction of White Sand Island, a streak of startling radiance tearing through the sky.

"This Elder has gone to support White Sand Island, that’s truly wonderful. With such a Golden Core Elder, plus that Spirit Beast just now...

They will surely be able to drive away the Demon Beasts surrounding the island."

Several Qi Refining Cultivators spoke out excitedly.

Only a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators did not show the slightest relaxation on their faces at this moment.

Although they had not drawn close to the island just now, their Cultivation was higher than these Qi Refining Cultivators after all.

They could feel that among the Demon Beasts besieging the island, there were both Tier Five and Tier Six.

They feared that a single Golden Core Cultivator might not be able to completely reverse the situation on the island.

"Then what should we do now?" a young Female Cultivator asked at this moment.

Everyone’s gaze fell on the old man.

Among them, the old man had the highest Cultivation, so naturally he had the greatest say.

The old man hesitated slightly, then grit his teeth and said:

"We should still fly back toward White Sand Island and see if there is any chance to return to the island.

Otherwise, if we encounter other Demon Beasts, we may not have such good fortune again to have an Elder Cultivator save us."

Another Foundation Establishment Cultivator also nodded in agreement and said:

"I think so too! We’ll just follow behind this Golden Core Cultivator from earlier.

Wherever he passes, if there are Demon Beasts following, they’ll surely be cleared out, and we’ll be safe as well."

Immediately, the group once more flew back in the direction of White Sand Island with Flying Escape.

But when they flew to the vicinity of White Sand Island, they discovered that the number of Demon Beasts had actually diminished greatly.

Especially near this side, there was not even a shadow of a living Demon Beast.

Instead, from other directions Demon Beasts kept flying in, only to very quickly be cut down by several Flying Swords of different-colored radiance, driven by a figure whose silhouette they found quite familiar.

Seeing this scene, the old man seemed to suddenly recall something, and his face revealed a look of delighted surprise.

"A face so young, yet able to command multiple Flying Swords—it’s him!"

"Who?" the others asked in puzzlement.

"If I have not guessed wrong, this is Chu Ning, Elder Chu, who back then was renowned among the Golden Core Cultivators of Ice Island Immortal City!"
