Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Just as everyone was about to wipe out these demon monkeys, a dozen wolf howls suddenly came from afar. Everyone's expression changed drastically. They had not expected that these demon wolves would not chase after Yang Qilin, but instead pounce straight at them.

Having been targeted, they had no choice but to fight back, as their speed was far inferior to that of the pack of demon wolves. If they chose to flee, things would only get more complicated.

After a dozen or so breaths, the demon wolves finally arrived before them. However, when they saw the number and strength of the demon wolves, they were all horrified.

Originally, divine sense detected only a dozen or so demon wolves, but now there are more than thirty, and each of them has the strength equivalent to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Everyone immediately realized that they were no match for these demonic beasts and tried to scatter and flee. Just then, Jin Yeqiao and Liu Fuling, two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, stepped forward. Liu Fuling said in a deep voice, "Everyone! Please listen to what I have to say. These demonic beasts are called Shadow Wolves. Their talent allows them to blend into the darkness, making them difficult to detect, and they are incredibly fast."

If we flee now without a fight, they will surely catch up. Therefore, we must first severely injure these demonic beasts to stop their offensive. Think about it, how can the strength of a few cultivators compare to that of a dozen or so?

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately abandoned their thoughts of fleeing, as they had already clearly understood the implications of the matter.

More than thirty wolf demons launched an indiscriminate attack on the monkey demons and the group. The few remaining monkey demons were instantly torn apart by the wolves, but the humans managed to hold off the attack temporarily because of their unity.

Jin Yeqiao shouted loudly at the front of the crowd, "Use your methods quickly and kill as many as possible, otherwise there will only be more monsters chasing after us later."

After saying that, he and Liu Fuling immediately used their skills and instantly killed the two demonic wolves in front of them.

Seeing this, the people behind also put their skills to good use.

In a short while, the originally menacing wolf was defeated.

However, after the wolves that had been devouring the monkey demon finished off the last bone, they immediately turned their attention to them, and in a short while, more than thirty wolves surrounded them.

Within moments, the two sect cultivators who were on the periphery and were already injured were instantly devoured into a pile of bones.

Even Xia Yuhui, who was in the center of the crowd, was seriously injured. As for the others, their injuries were even more severe than his.

The pack of demon wolves was also in a bad situation, with five or six corpses lying on the ground. However, this did not stop them at all; on the contrary, it made their attacks even more fierce.

After another ten breaths, Jin Yeqiao and Liu Fuling worked together to kill four or five demonic beasts in one fell swoop, and the situation immediately improved. The encirclement of the demonic beasts was no longer as tight as before.

Liu Fuling immediately realized this was an opportunity to escape, so he shouted loudly, "Evacuate immediately!"

Without a second thought, everyone rushed out of the encirclement. After all, the last one left would surely be attacked by the combined forces of the monsters, and who would want to suffer such a heavy blow?

However, no one was injured or killed during the retreat, thanks to the fact that Jin Yeqiao and Liu Fuling, both Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators, covered the rear.

Although the two were cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, they looked disheveled, clearly indicating that they had very little magic power left.

Just as everyone was rushing to retreat, the more than twenty demonic wolves behind them continued to pursue them relentlessly. Helpless, they could only occasionally use magic to interfere with the demonic beasts chasing them, but they dared not confront them head-on again.

After all, they had already learned from the previous example, and besides, their group of cultivators had almost no magic power left, so they were powerless to launch an effective counterattack.

As everyone watched the demonic wolf gradually approaching from behind, a look of despair appeared on their faces. Clearly, if they did not find a way to break the deadlock, today would be a matter of life and death.

Liu Fuling and Jin Yeqiao were aware of this, and after discussing it, they immediately communicated telepathically and said to everyone, "Everyone, we are now at a critical moment of life and death. Fellow Daoist Jin and I have decided that some of us will stay behind to cover the retreat, while the rest will flee."

After speaking, he quickly pointed out the names of several people, including himself and Jin Yeqiao. In addition to the two of them, there were two sect disciples and family disciples Xia Yufeng and Xia Guangzheng, Cai Tingxiang, Chi Muminglie, and Jin Yenan.

After the list was read, everyone had different expressions, but no one raised any objections. After all, they all had their own forces to escape. As for the five sect disciples, they were powerless to help them. If they really tried to help, they would definitely be purged by the Guiyun Sect, which would be tantamount to suicide.

After weighing the options in his mind, Xia Yuhui immediately sent a telepathic message to Xia Yufeng: "Eighth Brother, let me handle this. I have a way to get back alive."

However, Xia Yufeng showed no intention of replying this time. Instead, he had a resolute expression on his face, clearly having made up his mind to stay here.

Xia Guangzheng, who was standing to the side, noticed the strangeness between the two and comforted them, saying, "Well done, you are indeed men of the Xia family. Xiao Wu, go in peace. I will make sure Xiao Ba returns alive. The family still needs to rely on you young people."

Xia Guangyan, who was standing in front of everyone, turned pale upon seeing this scene, and hesitated. However, he did not speak, as he was also among the five people who left.

Jin Yeqiao: "Everyone, leave immediately!"

After he finished speaking, a bag at his right waist suddenly shone with a dazzling golden light, and a golden eagle suddenly darted out, grabbed Jin Yushu, and rushed into the sky.

The golden eagle was incredibly fast, and in an instant, Jin Yushu was caught. Once she realized what was happening, tears were streaming down her face. She was filled with resentment and tried desperately to pry open the eagle's claws, but it was all in vain. In the end, she could only scream, "Uncle, no!"

However, Jin Yeqiao and Jin Yenan both showed a relieved smile.

Others not on the departure list also quickly left. In the end, Xia Guangyan left more than ten talismans for Xia Yufeng and Xia Guangzheng.

The two gladly accepted the gift, but Xia Yuhui remained silent and turned to leave.

Xia Guangyan glanced at Xia Yuhui with a puzzled look, but ultimately left together.

Xia Yuhui did this not for any other reason, but because he needed to return.

Even if he insisted on staying now, Xia Guangzheng would definitely not agree, so he had to leave for a while before returning to pick them up. If Xia Yuhui's prediction was correct, Jin Yeqiao and Liu Fuling would soon let everyone escape, and as cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, their chances of survival would be extremely high.

What he needed to do was to meet the two of them.

However, just as Xia Guangyan was about to leave, a voice reached his ears. He paused for a moment, turned to look at Xia Guangzheng, who was all smiles, his eyes quickly reddened, he bowed deeply, and then turned and left.

After walking for half an incense stick's time, Xia Yuhui suddenly transmitted his voice to Xia Guangyan beside him: "Seventh Uncle, I'm going back."

Xia Guangyan's body jolted, and he stared at Xia Yuhui in astonishment. After a moment's thought, he advised, "Yuhui, don't go back. The family can't afford to lose you again."

Xia Yuhui shook his head. "The family cannot lose Fifth Uncle and Seventh Uncle either. Promise me, Seventh Uncle, if something happens to us and we cannot return, please take good care of the family for us."
