Wu Shattered Star River

It wasn't just Jiang Han and her group making a desperate escape; several smaller teams nearby were also trying to break through, including teams from the God race and the Demon race.

The Eighth Princess from the Heavenly Court had left with her team long ago, and the Immortal Reverends near the Bitter Sea had all sent people to pick them up.

Zhang Xiongji had sent a message to Zhang Wanning. Although Zhang Wanning didn't know what Zhang Xiongji was planning, she trusted that her own brother wouldn't harm her, so she led her team away.

The God and Demon races had collapsed at Tianchi, scattering into small groups that hid in the nearby mountains to recuperate and heal their wounds.

After the demons ravaged the vicinity, these teams reacted quickly, fleeing in droves.

Fortunately, although there were many demons, they were mostly ordinary. Moreover, the Nalanda Secret Realm was large enough that they were confident they could easily break through.

Jiang Han and his team spent half a day easily breaking through.

Although millions of demons had poured out, the Nalanda Secret Realm was so vast that they were dispersed, and the density was reduced.

These demons didn't have much intelligence or organization; they were scattered and fought individually, so breaking through wasn't too difficult.

"Head west!"

After breaking through, Jiang Han didn't dare to linger. He led his team westward at full speed, seeking a safe place to lie low and observe how things developed.

After running for three days, they arrived at a large mountain on the western edge of the secret realm, almost at its westernmost point.

This place wasn't far from Deer Park, only half a day away, and it bordered Thousand Gamma Valley to the south.

There were no demons here, which made Jiang Han even more convinced that the demons had emerged from Tianchi, likely because the seal at the bottom of Tianchi had been broken.

After arriving at the mountain, the group gathered to discuss their next move.

"There's really no need to worry too much!"

Jiang Jiuye was the first to speak: "With so many demons appearing, the Myriad Buddhas Temple will definitely notice and should send strong reinforcements to suppress them soon. Even if they don't eliminate all the demons, they'll seal the passage and suppress the powerful Emperor-level demons."

"Yes!"

Zhao Wuchen nodded and said, "The Nalanda Secret Realm is very large. It will take at least ten days to half a month for the demons to spread here. Besides, this is the westernmost part. If demons appear here, the entire secret realm will be infested, meaning there must be hundreds of millions of demons."

"If so many demons break out of the Nalanda Secret Realm, it would be a disaster for the Myriad Buddhas Temple, and they can't possibly ignore it."

"Hundreds of millions of demons…"

Fairy Jiu Xuan and Fairy Bi Yao exchanged a glance, both secretly shocked.

If there were really so many demons, there would definitely be a large number of Emperor-level demons. Once they broke through the secret realm's barrier, it would indeed be a disaster for the Myriad Buddhas Temple.

Jiang Han pondered for a moment and said, "The current situation is actually advantageous to us. With the situation unclear, the God and Demon races probably won't dare to move."

"As long as a large number of Emperor-level demons don't appear, it's safe for us. We can stay here comfortably for a few months and then be teleported out when the time comes."

Everyone nodded slightly. The Nalanda Secret Realm was so large that even if one or two Emperor-level demons appeared, it wouldn't matter. The strong could hold off the Emperor-level demons while the rest immediately escaped, so there wouldn't be any fatal danger.

"To be on the safe side!"

Jiang Han suggested, "Let's set up a few shelters nearby and arrange some Immortal formations so that we have a way out if anything changes."

"Agreed!"

Everyone concurred and began searching nearby, soon finding a small valley.

Lu Xingyu began setting up the formations. In a little over a day, he set up two large Immortal formations: a defensive formation and an illusion formation to isolate their aura and conceal them within.

They also took out some rare formation stones and magical artifacts to enhance the power of the defensive formation.

Even if a large number of demons attacked, including two Emperor-level demons, the formation could hold out for the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Lu Xingyu set up several teleportation formations inside so they could use them to escape if attacked.

Afterward, they wandered around again, traveling millions of miles to find another valley and continue setting up formations.

Once they finished there, they continued for millions of miles and began setting up the third valley.

All three valleys were equipped with powerful formations and illusion formations, with teleportation arrays connecting them, so they would have a way out in case of danger.

Four or five days had passed. The west was quiet. Fairy Bi Yao had scouted around nearby several times and hadn't found any demons or figures from the God or Demon races.

"Perhaps… the Myriad Buddhas Temple has already sent strong reinforcements to suppress the demon army?"

Everyone secretly speculated, but only a few days had passed. Even if the demon army was spreading, it wouldn't reach here so quickly.

They went to a valley to hide, and Jiang Han immediately went into seclusion to refine the Star Saint God's inheritance.

With the situation unclear, Xu Lu didn't mention exploring other dangerous places. He stayed obediently in the valley, waiting for developments.

"Not good…"

Another five days passed, and Fairy Bi Yao went out to scout. When she returned, her expression was somewhat unpleasant. She said, "I discovered demons a million miles east, and there are quite a few of them."

"Has the Myriad Buddhas Temple gone mad?"

Everyone exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.

Almost half a month had passed, and the Myriad Buddhas Temple hadn't reacted at all?

For the demons to spread here, it meant the entire Nalanda Secret Realm was covered in demons, at least hundreds of millions of them. Had most of the demons from Asura Hell run out?

"I'll go take a look!"

Xu Lu didn't quite believe it. He had Lu Xingyu activate the Immortal formation and went out with Zhao Wuchen.

Half a day later, they returned with extremely grave expressions. As soon as he entered, Xu Lu burst into curses: "Those thieving bald donkeys from the Myriad Buddhas Temple, do they want to kill us? They could just send a few Emperor-levels in here! Why make it so complicated? If we can leave alive this time, we're definitely not done with them."

Zhao Wuchen said with a grim face, "Demons are everywhere nearby. I even vaguely sensed an Emperor-level demon. The entire Nalanda Secret Realm should be unsafe."

Jiang Han and the others' expressions darkened. Whether it was a conspiracy by the Myriad Buddhas Temple or whether the seal was opened by a strongman from the Myriad Buddhas Temple, the Myriad Buddhas Temple was absolutely inseparable from this matter.

So much time had passed, and the Myriad Buddhas Temple hadn't sent any strongmen to suppress them or opened the secret realm to let them out. If they all died inside, the Myriad Buddhas Temple would definitely have to take responsibility.

"What do we do?"

Jiang Jiuxuan looked at Jiang Han and asked, "Do we leave, or do we lie low and defend this place? Or do we go and eliminate the demons nearby?"

"Don't move yet!"

Jiang Han waved his hand and said, "The Immortal formation we set up can isolate our aura. The demons can't sense us, so even if there are demons nearby, they won't attack us. Let's stall for a while and observe the situation before deciding."

Jiang Han pondered for a moment and turned his gaze to Fairy Bi Yao, saying, "Bi Yao, can you lend your stealth treasure to Brother Jiuye? It would be safer for him to go out and scout?"

Jiang Jiuye had been at the King level for a long time, while Fairy Bi Yao had only broken through recently, so their battle prowess was vastly different.

It would be more convenient for Jiang Jiuye to scout with this treasure. Even if he was discovered by an Emperor-level demon, Jiang Jiuye could escape, but Fairy Bi Yao might not be able to.

"Of course!"

Fairy Bi Yao nodded. She and Fairy Jiu Xuan were close confidantes, and the Jiang family wouldn't steal a treasure from her.

She took out a bead, directly erased the mark inside, and handed it to Jiang Jiuye, who cupped his fist and said, "Thank you for your trust, Sister Bi Yao."

Jiang Han had Jiang Jiuye refine the bead and instructed him, "We'll lie low inside. Brother Jiuye, I'll trouble you to scout outside for us. As long as no Emperor-level demons approach, we're safe. Even if the Myriad Buddhas Temple doesn't do anything, we can withstand it for a few months and be automatically teleported out."

"Let's hope so!"

Jiang Jiuye sighed with concern. He always felt that this matter was unusual and that something unexpected might happen later…
