Chapter 1406 - 744: Forming an Alliance Again

However, this all-out strike, in front of the five-colored radiance, was like a mantis trying to block a chariot.

In just a moment, the five-colored brilliance flowed and erased that sword strike without a trace, also swallowing the Daoist Venerable entirely.

"This..."

The Hidden Sword Sect Leader had intended to assist, but saw only a flash of five-colored radiance; their Daoist Venerable had vanished without a trace, not even a drop of essence blood or a wisp of divine sense left.

A Daoist Venerable who could dominate the world outside fell in an instant on this battlefield.

Everyone’s hearts were shaken, and all their accumulated strength erupted at this moment.

Streams of radiance protected their bodies.

"We can overpower the Demon Venerable with the methods left by our Daoist Master and Demon Lord, not to mention if they were to use them personally?"

The Douxing Sect Leader spoke deeply, waving his hand, causing the starlight to descend from the heavens.

"Go! Let’s leave now, we absolutely cannot stay here any longer!"

Taiwu Daoist Venerable immediately made a decision, and the numerous Daoist Venerables present all agreed.

This place was too dangerous; if they wanted to survive, they had to leave this battlefield.

"Rise!"

Jiang Shu hesitated no more, raising his hand, and in the Mixed Cave Space, divine lights burst forth one after another!

The aura of the Space Dao spread, and a divine bridge radiating glorious light extended beneath Jiang Shu’s feet.

At this moment, the World Tree and the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu within Jiang Shu, after devouring the remnants of the Ruomu and Fusang Ancient Tree, had somewhat recovered!

If not leaving now, when?

No matter which Demon Lord won next, it would certainly bring them no advantage.

In an instant, one by one, the Venerables jumped onto the long bridge, ready to head directly to the outside from the ninth level of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave.

However, at this moment, stars began to appear in the void.

A silhouette, bathing in moonlight, suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Shu and the others.

"You all, cannot leave yet."

A melodious and gentle voice sounded, and the figure of the Heavenly Empress Xi’e appeared before everyone.

At this moment, the Human Clan Venerables were shocked, but immediately became alert, ready to strike at any time.

In the void, the figure of Heavenly Empress Xi’e appeared incredibly transparent, as if a mere breath could scatter this former Demon Lord’s great power.

"Senior, please make way, I fear the Heavenly Emperor is too occupied to save you now."

Jiang Shu stood at the forefront of the Venerables, speaking loudly.

Prior to this, the parties had already been at odds, after all, this Heavenly Empress had even brought the Heaven-Burning Ancestor to attack him.

However, Xi’e only smiled slightly, then spoke:

"It is not I who is stopping you, but those two."

With that, she raised her hand, pointing to the battlefield where the Dragon Master and the Five Virtues Phoenix Master were fighting.

"Those two Daoist friends have already sealed both inside and out, and suppressed the perimeter with the Imperial Palace. If you wish to leave, you must use your Daoist Master’s methods to break that Imperial Palace, otherwise, you cannot leave."

Demon Race Imperial Palace!?

Upon hearing this, the Human Clan experts were all shocked.

Jiang Shu squinted his eyes, immediately sensing the changes in the world, confirming through the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu that on their only path, the Demon Race Imperial Palace blocked the void, obstructing their departure.

"Since this is the case, why do you obstruct us, sitting back and watching us kill each other, isn’t that delightful? Or do you have other thoughts?"

Jiang Shu furrowed his brow, immediately inquiring.

At this moment, with the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu in his hands, Jiang Shu was the key to leading many Daoist Venerables out, and thus he initiated the discussion.

"What an interesting young one..."

Xi’e looked at Jiang Shu, with a hint of interest in her eyes, smiling gracefully:

"The situation has changed, perhaps we can reconcile and cooperate again."

"Reconcile, at this moment?"

Jiang Shu’s expression remained unchanged, in such a perilous place, alliances and betrayals were just a thought away.

He spoke:

"Not long ago, you brought the Heaven-Burning Ancestor upon us, causing us great trouble, and now you wish to proactively cooperate with us, isn’t that absurd?"

"Of course..."

Xi’e’s expression remained steady:

"If you had just died at the hands of that Phoenix, cooperation would be unnecessary. After all, you were not strong enough, but now it’s different."

As the words fell, Xi’e raised her hand and grabbed, instantly causing various treasures to fly out from her sleeve.

"These items are the other half of the reward previously promised to you, now given as a courtesy to make amends."

"Furthermore, if you are willing to cooperate with me and break the Imperial Palace, naturally, there will be other benefits, besides..."

Xi’e smiled slightly and spoke:

"Now, if you don’t cooperate with me, your Human Clan would need a Daoist Master to descend from the Cang Mang Domain, otherwise there’s no way to break the Imperial Palace."

"If you cooperate with me, I can ensure your departure, and also give two heavy gifts."

As the words concluded, Xi’e raised her hand and suddenly two radiant light clusters appeared.

One emitted a blazing brilliance akin to the great sun, enveloped in the Creation Dao, while the other was somewhat dim, yet emanated moonlight and the Destruction Dao.

Upon seeing these two items, the numerous Venerables present felt a shudder in their hearts, immediately recognizing their origin in their minds.

Divine Wood Seed!

The seeds of the Fusang Ancient Tree and Ruomu.

If they could be cultivated, countless years in the future, they might harvest two Divine Woods.
