It's been three months and a half since Mo Xie had gone missing.

Right now, the whole continent had been turned upside down.

Every kingdom had its citizen's experts escaped and made their way to the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire's territory.

The Lang Ya Great Kingdom became a tragedy that other people couldn't believe. All of its experts fought to the very end, not believing that the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom will be able to destroy them.

Lang Ya Great Kingdom is a few times stronger than Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom in terms of both resources and martial experts.

Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's invasion came as a sudden unexpected event, which made the Lang Ya Great Kingdom think that they were merely caught off guard and lost a few cities and villages in the process.

But when the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's army made it all the way to the capital of the Lang Ya Great Kingdom. Something more unexpected occurred.

Many Immortal Foundation ranked experts appeared and made the capital of the Lang Ya Great Kingdom to waste.

This piece of news caused the other kingdoms to tremble in shock and fear, Zhong Zi Imperial State was in the middle of being conquered. Hearing the news, the royalty immediately gave up and surrendered.

But that should've been the end of it, or so everyone thought.

The Zhong Zi Imperial State met an end more gruesome than any person could've imagined.

The experts and the royal family of the Zhong Zi Imperial State surrendered and gathered in the capital, and immediately, they were all executed without any second thought.

Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's mercy that day was nonexistent. Together with the experts, all the young and old children were killed with no exemptions.

With the examples of the Lang Ya Great Kingdom and Zhong Zi Imperial State, there became only two options, one to escape, and the other, to die trying.

The Divine Crane Kingdom didn't even need to consider, they were the next target. They don't even have any Immortal Foundation ranked experts to defend, what can they do?

Only the 1st rate Kingdoms stood a chance, but the sheer number of experts on the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's side is too great, comparable to the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire's numbers.

All of the lower kingdoms started to evacuate, they will be seeking asylum at the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, but then, another turn of event occurred... the 1st rate Kingdoms; the Azure Imperial Kingdom and the Solar Blaze Kingdom met them with great force.

The two Kingdoms were busy settling matters because they were busy settling their own territory's problems. But when it finished, they immediately made a gate to 'welcome' the refugees. Immediately as they arrived, the experts were slaughter, both factioned groups, and wandering cultivators alike.

It was supposed to be their first step to an asylum yet, it became another h.e.l.l.

The three first-rate kingdoms are the only path towards the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, they all felt like a cornered mouse, what can they possibly do? They can't return and face annihilation from the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom, but they can also not proceed anymore.

Who knows how which Kingdom to trust anymore, they even suspect that the ma.s.s-murdering is part of the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire's schemes.

When they all thought that all safe, the Azure Imperial Kingdom's expert appeared again, chasing after their lives.

"Not good, where do we go now?!"

"Those brave people that bought us time all died already?! No, we're next to die..."

"If that's the case, I will stay here now to buy time for others to escape!"

"No, but... if we do that and we get killed again, our numbers will decrease further, we should just fight it out!"

"If there's a chance for our loved ones to survive, then, I will take it."

Everyone hearing this felt inspired, they nod their heads: "Then, we die for the people we care."

They were numbering more than five million, their group was large at first, comprised of combined experts from other kingdoms with a great number of thirty million. They first encountered the Azure Imperial Kingdom.

They thought that it was a group of a hundred thousand experts to welcome them and to secure their group, but never they had known that it's a group to slaughter them.

These hundred thousand experts are composed of two hundred Immortal Foundation ranked experts, and a combination of both Heaven Encompa.s.sing and Sky Shattering ranked experts.

One needs to take note that the Fallen Leaf Continent's human race only has a little over two hundred Immortal Foundation rank with it within the midst of the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire and the three first-rate Kingdoms.

They were immediately destroyed with half of their numbers dying while the others escaped. But the enemies continued with the chase with a single goal in mind, to obliterate every expert of the Human Race that's not on their side.

When the people going to be left behind were decided, those that were meant to escape were all young children and women. They bid their farewells with tears on their eyes.

But then, when they are about to escape, mysterious people from a mysterious land arrived, baring the banner with a word written 'Mo' fiercely waving through the air.

Then, not just the Mo Family, but also the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom's group experts came.

At first, the refugees thought that it might be reinforcements when they saw the Mo Family's banner, but then, there's also the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom's banner.

A first-rate kingdom just like the Azure Imperial Kingdom!

A female is leading its march, she wore a red and white battle outfit that clearly displays her curve that made people see the bulge on her stomach.

She waved her hand in the air in a grabbing motion, a flaming red sword appeared on her hand. She then pointed it forward: "KILL THEM ALL!"

"WOAHHHHHH!!!"

Another hundred thousand experts appeared, now, the refugees had nowhere to go.

All of them felt despair, what can they do? Although the newly arrived people are a lot weaker than the ones pursuing them, they can still hold them off until the ones pursuing them caught up.

They couldn't help but shake in fear, the weapons on their hand dropped on the ground as they knelt powerlessly from the incoming slaughter.

They could merely wait for their death without any of them even trying.

But as the newly arrived forces came closer, they felt something strange.

More than 60,000 experts were only in between gold rank to earth rank cultivators, and the rest aren't moving anywhere but on top of these people flying.

As they came nearer, they saw that the approaching new people from the Mo Family and the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom weren't looking at them, but at the enemies on the pursuit.

Shang Ting made another: "Bring the injured and children at the back, those abled, help us kill the enemies!"

Hearing Shang Ting's words, all of them felt speechless for a while before their eyes started to moist, their hands trembled as their hearts s.h.i.+vered with grat.i.tude.

"We... we're alive... there's a rescue, we're finally saved!"

One old expert howls with tears on his eyes, one after another, they nod their head.

One of those that were leading the refugees shouted: "Had you gone deaf? The madame had said that those that are able to help fight, what are we standing here for?!"

"Right, bring the injured and children to the back."

"Us women will fight too, even the madame is taking the front line, how dare we stand back! It will be our deepest shame to do so!"

Their depleted morale immediately soared to the peak.

The new arrivals caught the experts by ma.s.sive surprise, but that didn't halt their pursuit, after all, they are much stronger still compared to the new ones.

They merely have a little more than fifty Immortal Foundation rank experts. With little to no hesitation at all, they charge again with their full force.

The refugees and Shang Ting's army started to be a.s.sembled recklessly, but that didn't stop her, it's a quickly made mess, but it will definitely be effective.

"Firing formation!"

"Cultivators, use defensive skills to protect everyone, you all do not need to attack!" 

Shang Ting ordered, the cultivators immediately took out their weapon and aimed ahead: "Ready!"

Shang Ting waited... she waited until the enemies had come closer.

"Kill!"

AS she shouted, the leader of those in pursuit chuckles: "What can trash like those do to u..."

He couldn't even finish his words as he saw the spear with a sword's blade gathered energy and fired immediately at their group.

"D-defend!"

He was a little too late.

Bam~ Boom~ boom!!!
