Ye Xiaofan’s lips curled into a slight arc at the words, yet having just experienced the Sword Saint’s fall, he couldn’t bring himself to smile, but it was a response nonetheless.
In the end, Ye Xiaofan still didn’t speak, instead, he turned silently and led everyone soaring into the sky.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to agree, but the Hundred Broken Mountain Range was already vast and boundless, and the world outside was so immense that he couldn’t imagine. If he were fortunate enough to leave, where to go was still unknown. In such a vast world, whether the two of them would even have the chance to meet again was uncertain. Even if they did meet again, who could say how many years it would be in the future?
Perhaps when they meet again, things will have changed beyond recognition, or maybe it will only be three to five short years.
Before Mo Shiyi left, he brushed past Nangong Jianchen, communicating in a way that almost only the two of them could understand: "Nangong, if we can’t break through, are you planning not to intervene?"
In response to Mo Shiyi’s inquiry, Nangong Jianchen did not transmit back, but his silence was equivalent to an acknowledgment.
It was obvious that if they truly could not break through and fell within the first encircling circle, Nangong Jianchen’s people were likely to just watch coldly, because even for him, many matters were not decisive, and the guardians behind him might not obey all orders.
Guardians are not followers, much less subordinates. On the contrary, the guardians behind countless world-shocking figures are often elders or sect forces, having terrifyingly high status, not being influenced by the guarded is already good.
However, clearly, Nangong Jianchen’s status is unusual, at least commanding numerous guardians to take action, standing in the path of the pursuers.
Watching Ye Xiaofan and others leaving, Nangong Jianchen finally turned slowly, looking at the tide-like pursuers flooding in, his eyes instantly becoming much colder.
At this moment, the voice in his mind rang again.
"He won’t get out today; you all underestimate those old undead in this world. Many among them are old saints who have returned from the Hundred Broken Mountain Range. Although they are nearing the end of their lifespan, the power they can unleash is almost no less than at their peak."
"To escape from these many old fellows, the hope is extremely slim, slim to the point of darkness. I can’t understand why you still want to intervene? Wouldn’t it be better to leave this place of trouble? The strong ones of the Royal Race are already on their way here. If you happen to collide, you will not fare well either."
Hearing the old voice in his mind, Nangong Jianchen smiled calmly.
"You said it yourself, he is worth it!"
Faced with the old voice in his mind, Nangong’s response consisted of only these seven words, but now these seven words were devoid of any other interest connections, just simply — he is worth it!
As Ye Xiaofan and others dashed through the endless snow towards the terrifying region, the massive pursuing crowd behind also saw the endless array of terrifying cultivators standing amidst the wind and snow, especially when their gaze touched the hundreds of mysterious white-haired old men, they all instinctively halted.
All the pursuers stared dumbfounded at the blockade ahead, each one struck with dismay.
"Charge through, we absolutely cannot let Ye Xiaofan leave this world alive, and we must not let him fall into the hands of those old undead."
Even though the front was terrifying, dozens of newly Entering the Saint Realm experts gritted their teeth, forcibly leading countless cultivators to charge forward.
It was evident that the contemporary leaders of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range not only wanted to kill that figure but also did not want the Empress Inheritance on him to fall into the hands of those old undead. Currently, the Hundred Broken Mountain Range is in their control, but once the old saints nearing the end of their lives obtain the Empress Inheritance and live out the legendary second existence, the whole Hundred Broken Mountain Range will change dramatically.
This was clearly not an outcome that the current leaders wished to see.
With the new Entering the Saint Realm figures joining the pursuit, the pursuers now had nearly a hundred contemporary supreme leaders on their side, naturally not entirely intimidated by the forces behind Nangong Jianchen.
In the endless snow, Nangong Jianchen watched this scene calmly, his face still unperturbed, slowly drawing his sword that pointed towards the vast human sea.
Not long after.
BOOM—!!!
The two forces clashed fiercely, exploding into a more intense battle.
Even Ye Xiaofan and others, having traversed an endless distance, hearing the earth-shattering sounds behind them, knew how terrifying and dreadful the battle in that world was.
Hundreds of Saint Realm leaders battling in the boundless domain, the destructive power was imaginable. The lands would surely be shattered, the void collapsing, a terrifying scene beyond imagination.
At the same time.
Outside the endless territory to the east.
In a gigantic gorge deep within an ancient forest.
This gorge was extremely hidden, far from human habitation. However, at this moment, it was filled with array flags and Dao Platforms, surrounding the gorge with terrifying Power of Heaven and Earth, madly surging, incredibly daunting.
It was evident that this hidden gorge was the first destination of Ye Xiaofan and his group, the initial Transmission Array to cross the Hundred Broken Mountain Range.
Amidst the endless array flags, several figures paced back and forth continuously, their faces filled with endless anxiety.
"Why hasn’t there been any movement yet? If they don’t come soon, it will be too late."
