Chapter 98 Rescue

As soon as he saw Mu Qianying, Xie Lingtian immediately approached her, squatting down and asking with concern, "Qianying, what happened here?"
慕浅影一愣，看见是谢翎天三人后，神色方才松缓一些，但还是紧绷着脸，说道：“我哥他拔出了第二段封天神剑，导致镇神山下的魔皇之像破开了封印苏醒了。”
"The Sealing Heaven Divine Sword is here?" Xie Lingtian was surprised and looked towards the five peak masters ahead and the ice-bound cage in the middle, where Mu Rongliang was indeed held.
"The second segment of the Sealing Heaven Divine Sword is actually buried under the Town God Mountain and used to suppress the Demon Emperor statue!" Du Er also looked stunned.
Throughout the journey, he gradually became aware of these things, although he had a rough idea. But as he stood here, looking at the towering statue of the Demon Emperor in the sky, he felt the pressure increase tenfold. The spiritual energy in his body was suppressed so severely that he couldn't use even a bit more.
"What should we do now? Seems like we can't help out!" Yan Qing'er scanned the surroundings, realizing that they couldn't intervene in this kind of battle.
"Since you can't fly, just stay here." Xie Lingtian also looked around, analyzing the situation. "I'll go to Elder Yin Yao's to gather information."
Just as Xie Lingtian was speaking, a group of people swiftly flew up from the floating base at the foot of the mountain.
Among them were two individuals, Cao Dan and Pong Mo, both from the Jade Star Valley and the old Taoist's disciple, who were currently fighting with the people behind them and approaching them.
"It's Cao Dan and Peng Mo! And behind them is the Soul Hunting Sect!" exclaimed Yan Qing'er, recognizing them immediately.
"Luan Tian and Wu Du!" identified Xie Lingtian, seeing two familiar faces and his eyes instantly turned cold. "They're like a sticky plaster, can't shake them off no matter how hard you try."
Cao Dan and Peng Mo also recognized Yan Qing'er and Xie Lingtian. Seeing their slightly embarrassed appearance, their expressions immediately relaxed upon seeing their own people.
"Senior Brother Cao Dan, Senior Brother Peng Mo!" Yan Qing'er quickly greeted them and asked.
Xie Lingtian also helped Mu Qianying to stand up and walked over together.
"It's you guys!" Cao Dan looked at everyone and finally landed on Xie Lingtian, asking with concern, "Brother Xie, is your Nine Dynasties Divine Sword still usable?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly surprised, not expecting Caodan to be concerned with the effectiveness of his Nine Dynasty Sword in such a tense situation.
This made them feel a bit amused and thought it was somewhat comical.
"Of course it works well, the power has increased by a lot. This is thanks to Brother Cao's great craftsmanship," Xie Lingtian laughed sincerely.
"Hehe!" Cao Dan chuckled and rubbed his nose. "Looking at the whole continent, there aren't many alchemists who can refine items to the quasi-treasure level."
Cao Dan still wanted to chitchat, but was interrupted by the serious look of Peng Mo beside him.
"Stop talking nonsense and think of a way to get rid of them first!" Peng Mo glanced at Xie Lingtian and the others with a strange look in his eyes.
Of course, this makes Peng Mo feel strange; he can't understand why these two people were added to Yuxing Valley; it was because of them that Yuxing Valley was so quickly targeted by other forces.
"Yes." Cao Dan nodded and replied, then said to Xie Lintian and the others, "You should all be familiar with these two in front, so how about it, Brother Xie, are you interested in completely getting rid of these two tails?"
Xie Lintian raised his eyebrows and called forth the Nine Dynasties Divine Swords without hesitation, saying, "Of course!"
The addition of Xie Lintian and his three companions eased the precarious situation of Cao Dan and Peng Mo; although there were still more disciples from the Soul Hunting Sect such as Luan Tian and Wu Du, they at least had a fighting chance.
"You stinky kid, three strikes and you're out! Today I'm going to take you down!" Luantian saw Xie Lingtian once again, his fighting spirit even stronger. Without another word, he swung his baton and attacked Luantian.
Just as Xie Lingtian, Luan Tian, and others were about to engage in battle, there was a sudden explosion from the ice-cold prison in the middle.
A figure with a trail of gray quickly descended from the air, wielding a sharp sword that struck the ice-cold prison with great force.
The ice-encased prison shook violently, and the talismans outside were constantly being shattered as they tried to break the seal!
"Hmm? Muroi Liang has such a powerful helper?" Everyone was shocked by this.
Yuanhua Laodao, Xiuling Peak Master, and others also looked over upon hearing the sound, only to see that person standing on top of an ice-bound cage, with gray spiritual energy bursting forth from their body. They gripped their sword with both hands and once again pierced straight towards the cage.
"No good, stop him quickly!" Seeing this scene, Misty Peak Master quickly reminded everyone.
"Bang!"
A loud explosion suddenly sounded, and the old man on the ice prison was blown away, but at the same time, the prison was slowly breaking from the top gap and gradually spreading to the whole, unable to withstand the collapse.
"King Liang!"
On the top of the other side of the mountain, suddenly, dozens of men and women with white wings on their backs flew out, and they rushed to the imprisoned Murong Liang in the frozen cage as fast as lightning.
The leader was Indigo Yin, the deputy general of Murong Liang, who had come with their Empyrean Wing tribe warriors to rescue them.
"This is... the Empyrean Wing tribe from the Arctic!"
"Empyrean Wing tribe?" Misty Peak's master identified the visitors and snorted, "Go back where you came from!"
Wu Sapeak Lord naturally knows about the Emperor Wing clan, and has heard that during the years when Murong Liang disappeared, he went to the Arctic cold land and has recently been active in the West Ting Kingdom.
But he did not expect that Murong Liang could make the proud Emperor Wing clan work for him.
With thoughts racing in his mind, Wusafeng was busy with his hands; strands of black mist, like venomous snakes, shot out towards the warrior of the Emperor's Wing tribe.
"Swish! Swish!" The mist pierced through the chests of several Emperor's Wing tribe members.
"Line up!" Indra commanded with a grunt, waving his right arm; the other members of the Emperor Wing tribe also raised their right arms immediately.
"Boom!"
A huge light shield appeared out of nowhere, blocking most of Fog Sama Peak Master's attacks.
Yin Yi approached Mu Rongliang who was still partially frozen, taking advantage of the opportunity.
However, before she could retreat with Mu Rongliang, two figures, the Dragon Peak Master and the Anmen Peak Master, appeared in a flash, appearing to her left and right.
"You, members of the Emperor Wing clan, should not be involved in the chaos of the world. Please stop now," said the Master of Anmen as she tried to persuade them.
Immediately, with a seemingly light wave, a splash of purple light shot out from her sleeve and a powerful and overwhelming force came crashing down.
Yin Yi felt his eyes blur and his vision become blurry. At the same time, a powerful force instantly lifted him off the ground and sent him flying.
Just as Long Xu, the peak master of Dragon Slaying Peak, was preparing to capture Murong Liang again, a figure suddenly appeared from his side. It was the mysterious old man who had broken open the ice prison!
"Humph!" Dragon Peak Master let out a cold snort, turned around and punched straight ahead. A burst of golden light erupted from his fist, instantly colliding with the palm of the mysterious old man!
"Boom!"
Another earth-shattering sound resounded, and the powerful shockwaves spread out, blowing the remaining fragments of the ice prison in all directions before eventually dissipating in the air.
Everyone stepped back about ten zhang (around 33 meters) before stopping their steps.
"Pfft..."
At this moment, a burst of blood spewed from the corner of Muren Liang's mouth. He regained consciousness, but his entire body flew backward and fell down, only catching a glimpse of the mysterious old man with his eyes.
The old man immediately displayed his bizarre body technique in an attempt to save Murong Liang when he saw the situation.
"It's not that simple to save someone!" Long Xufeng Lord shouted coldly, his figure flashing, holding a purple gold horizontal dragon spear, and sweeping away with a strong and domineering power.
With every move and every stance, there seemed to be faint dragon patterns appearing, lifelike and almost tangible.
"Roar!"
The Purple Gold Dragon Spear of the Lord of the Dragon Dormitory exhibited a virtual image of a purple gold dragon, which engulfed the enigmatic old man.
"Boom!"
The purple-gold dragon hit the defense of the mysterious elder and made a loud noise. The powerful force brought the elder away from Mu Rongliang's position and also flew out tens of zhang away.
As Mu Rongliang fell with no one to save him, Wu Sa Peak Lord quickly flew towards him, intending to kill him with a single blow.
However, just as Wu Sa Peak Lord was about to strike, a white light flashed on Mu Rongliang's body and two pairs of snow-white, crystal-clear, and strong Emperor Wings appeared behind him, instantly lifting him up.
Wusa Peak Master missed his strike and his face changed slightly, he chased after again.
Meanwhile, the mysterious old man was intercepted by both Yuanhua Dao and Xiu Ling Peak Master when he retraced his steps.
"Long time no see, Master Xiuling and Master Yuanhua. Hehe." The mysterious old man removed his mask.
"Is it you?" Master Xiuling frowned deeply, realizing that the mysterious old man was none other than Mocheng Zhong who had brought Mu Qianying to the mountain years ago. "Did you come back specifically to save your grandson?"
"Not quite, cough cough." Mucity Zhong showed a hint of fatigue, coughed a few times, and continued, "He is the only hope of our Mu family. You can't just exterminate him, can you."
"Your hope for the Mu family?" said Elder Yuanhua cautiously, "Do you think he will obediently accept the path arranged for him by the Emperor? Moreover, that person said that Mu Qianying is the only bloodline of your Mu family."
Upon hearing this, Mucity showed a smile of understanding, saying in a low tone: "Since it is our own fate, how can we let others control it... My family took a wrong step back then, and I have always regretted it..."
"Regardless, my junior sister and I promised to protect your granddaughter out of past affection. Now that Murong Liang has conspired with the Hunting Soul Sect to attack our sect for the sake of the Sealing Heaven Divine Sword, if we don't seal the image of the Demon Emperor soon, it will be too late when its true body is summoned back from the depths of the Demon Spirit Abyss!" said Elder Yuanhua firmly.
Xiu Ling Peak Master also added: "As you know, the Sealing Heaven Divine Sword was originally forged by the heavens to seal the Demon Emperor. This sword cannot be used by Mu Rong Liang!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Cheng Zhong's eyes drooped and he spoke with a tired and powerless tone: "It seems that the two of you are not willing to compromise."
Mu Chengzhong's face showed a hint of bitterness, he sighed and didn't say much; then his eyes widened, and he actually summoned his spiritual body, burning his own spiritual blood!
