"No need, you are too weak," Ling Luoyi refused without politeness. Qiu Yuanxi had told her how to kill the extraterrestrial demons, but with their current cultivation, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths.
Compared to Ling Luoyi's directness, Qiu Yuanxi was a bit more tactful, "Young Master Ling, you should stay here. Your cultivation is a bit low, and you won't be able to help even if you go."
Even though both of them had said so, Ling Luochen still didn't want to give up. He said, "Luo'er, Miss Qiu, I know I'm weak, but Miss Qiu said that to deal with them, one needs at least a Phantom Spirit Artifact. Others don't have it, only you do, but you probably don't have that much time. We can do this!"
Seeing that Ling Luochen was right, Qiu Yuanxi also advised Ling Luoyi, "Little Luo'er, I think your eldest brother is right. With so many people, even the two of us can't handle it. Letting them go can also help with the aftermath and taking care of the wounded."
Ling Huayu and the others, who were unaware of the situation, listened to the three of them and looked confused.
Knowing that they were right, Ling Luoyi hesitated for a moment before agreeing. She said, "Then you can follow us. Grandpa, before we return, absolutely do not let anyone leave the mansion."
Although Ling Luoyi wished she could protect everyone, she knew it was a futile hope. She only hoped she could resolve everything without leaving a single one behind.
Ling Luoyi and Qiu Yuanxi led the way out of the flower hall, followed by Ling Luochen, his four companions, and Li Shu, who was completely unaware of their enemies.
Seeing Ling Luoyi's confident demeanor, Qiu Yuanxi curiously asked, "Little Luo'er, do you know where they will come from?" Besides the gloomy sky, there were no other movements. How could Little Luo'er seem to know where they were?
"A'Yuan, have you forgotten their characteristics?"
"Characteristics? They are drawn to strength!"
Originally, extraterrestrial demons would not have attacked such a low-level continent. However, they could not directly enter the Holy Realm, so they could only attack upwards from the lower realms. They were not only attacking the Ancient Spirit Continent but also other continents. They had merely opened the passage to the Ancient Spirit Continent first.
Even if they attacked the Ancient Spirit Continent for this reason, their characteristics would not change. Within their control, they would certainly choose to attack the strong first. After conquering the strong, the weak would naturally surrender. With these characteristics, it was obvious where they would go.
Within the Heavenly Profound Realm, near the entrance of the Heavenly Profound Realm, the sky seemed to have a hole torn open. It was completely dark, but no more extraterrestrial demons were coming out. The extraterrestrial demons that had already arrived, driven by their characteristic of being drawn to strength, were rushing towards the Ancient Spirit Academy, not forgetting to kill people along the way. When Ling Luoyi and her group of eight appeared in the Ancient Spirit Academy, the academy had already activated its protective array, thus preventing any casualties. However, outside, countless people had already died.
Fierce-looking extraterrestrial demons were attacking the protective array of the Ancient Spirit Academy. Ling Luochen and his four companions had dealt with extraterrestrial demons countless times in the third trial building of the small world and were accustomed to their appearance. However, Li Shu had never seen them before. At this moment, looking at the unsightly creatures outside the protective array made him feel nauseous.
Ling Luoyi activated her Divine Spirit Eye to scan behind the black hole. Bali, who was watching from behind the black hole, did not use the strange shard to hide, so he met Ling Luoyi's gaze directly.
Having found the owner of the Divine Spirit Eye, Bali smiled, his eyes filled with evil desire. His guess was correct; the person with the Divine Spirit Eye also had a good appearance. He really wanted to peel off her skin to see if her bones were as beautiful.
Ling Luoyi also stared at him without blinking, her eyes full of killing intent.
During the time they were staring at each other, Qiu Yuanxi was also counting the number of extraterrestrial demons outside, and the result was...
"Little Luo'er, the number is wrong!" Qiu Yuanxi counted several times and finally confirmed that the number was incorrect. She said to Ling Luoyi, "Little Luo'er, there is a limit to extraterrestrial demons. Those entering the Ancient Spirit Continent cannot exceed one hundred, but there are only ninety-nine here! The passage on the other side has no more extraterrestrial demons coming out, which means the extraterrestrial demons here have reached their limit."
"What?!" Hearing Qiu Yuanxi's words, Ling Luoyi withdrew her gaze from Bali and repeatedly checked the number of extraterrestrial demons outside. With her Divine Spirit Eye, she could see through the hidden extraterrestrial demons, but even so, there were still only ninety-nine.
Ling Luoyi increased the divine power of her Divine Spirit Eye. Everything around her began to disappear, and only several spiritual energy clusters appeared in her eyes. Gradually, Ling Luoyi excluded the normal spiritual energy clusters and finally found the missing extraterrestrial demon underground. The spiritual energy clusters of extraterrestrial demons were accompanied by black mist, making them easy to distinguish. Beneath that underground spiritual energy cluster, wrapped in black mist, was a massive and extremely pure spiritual energy cluster. That was...
"This is bad!" Ling Luoyi recognized what that spiritual energy cluster was and turned to point in a direction, saying to Qiu Yuanxi, "A'Yuan, the remaining one is underground over there, and beneath it is the Heart of the Continent of this continent!"
"What?!" Hearing this news, Qiu Yuanxi was shocked. She immediately reacted to the situation here. The Heart of the Continent was very important, but the situation here was also critical. Since Ling Luoyi couldn't get away, only she could go.
Making a decision instantly, Qiu Yuanxi said, "Little Luo'er, I'll leave this side to you, and that side will be for me and your eldest brother."
"Alright. That would be a first-tier Spirit Emperor. Be careful." Just then, a cracking sound suddenly came from above. The two looked up and saw that the millennium-old protective array of the Ancient Spirit Academy had been shattered by nearly a hundred extraterrestrial demons.
The disciples, teachers, and elders of the Ancient Spirit Academy were all stunned in place, looking incredulous. The extraterrestrial demons, seeing this, laughed even more wildly.
Ling Luoyi instantly regained her senses and said to Qiu Yuanxi, "Hurry!"
As Ling Luoyi spoke, Qiu Yuanxi grabbed Ling Luochen's hand and rushed out before he could react. Although it seemed like a long time had passed from when Ling Luoyi and the others arrived here to when Qiu Yuanxi pulled Ling Luochen away, it was actually only three breaths.
Ling Luochen, who was being pulled away, watched himself getting further and further away from Ling Luoyi and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Qiu..."
"I'll tell you later!" The situation was urgent, and she had to rush there at full speed. She had no time to explain.
Ling Luoyi looked at the departing Qiu Yuanxi with a solemn expression. She had to catch up! Once the Heart of the Continent was obtained by the extraterrestrial demons, this continent would be beyond saving!
Ling Luoyi could only hope for the best, because after the extraterrestrial demons shattered the protective array, they had already rushed in. Although they were drawn to strength, it didn't stop them from crushing a few ants on their way to find people.
"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, Qian'er, quickly go and rescue people. Use the barrier that conceals your aura in the storage ring. Absolutely do not confront them head-on!"
Knowing their cultivation was weak, they did not contend to face the extraterrestrial demons. They listened to Ling Luoyi and went to rescue people.
Looking at Li Shu, who was still standing there, Ling Luoyi threw him a storage ring and said, "Young Pavilion Master should also go. It will be very troublesome here later. If Cloud Pavilion has high-level Great Spirit Masters, let them take action."
Upon hearing this, Li Shu smiled. He was a self-aware person, so he said to Ling Luoyi, "Then this place will be left to Miss Ling. Our Cloud Pavilion will not stand idly by either. The wounded will be left to us, and our Great Spirit Master realm powerhouses will also take action."
