When Guo Xingyue was a killer on Pangu Star, he had seen many cases of using hostages as shields. He knew that at this time, he must not give in or back down. Otherwise, the opponent would surely push further. Then things would be difficult to handle. But at this moment, time was precious for Guo Xingyue. These four demonic cultivators had not returned for a long time. The demonic cultivators in the city of Qiyuan would surely become suspicious. Then those who came would not be such low-level cultivators. Even if Guo Xingyue was alone, he might not be able to escape calmly, let alone with Sheng Zheng who was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Although Guo Xingyue was anxious in his heart, his face showed an indifferent expression. He transformed the flying sword into a huge golden sword. With a hand seal, he said, "I will count to three. If you still don't release the person, then I will have to attack." That demonic cultivator, seeing Guo Xingyue's appearance of being ready to attack at any time, hurriedly shouted, "Your disciple is in my hands. If you dare to attack, I will kill him." As if he hadn't heard it, Guo Xingyue began the countdown: "Three, two..." That demonic cultivator was in a panic. He shouted and threw down Sheng Zheng. He soared into the sky. Unfortunately, he was already seriously injured and couldn't fly fast at all. In fact, even if he wasn't injured, he couldn't match the flying speed of Guo Xingyue's flying sword. As soon as he took off, he was shot down by the flying sword. His demonic infant was pierced through and he lay on the ground, gasping for breath, still unwilling to close his eyes.
Guo Xingyue put away the flying sword and walked to the side of the demonic cultivator with a smile and said, "Since you have captured the hostage, you shouldn't let go. You don't even have the courage to take a gamble. Pitiful. In fact, if you didn't run away, I wouldn't be able to do anything to you." The purpose of Guo Xingyue saying these words was not to taunt this failed kidnapper, but to inform Sheng Zheng. He knew that Sheng Zheng wouldn't ask whether he would really attack regardless of himself. Guo Xingyue didn't want Sheng Zheng to have a shadow in his heart. After hearing these words, that demonic cultivator suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He convulsed a few times and then reincarnated with regret.
Sheng Zheng was already seriously injured when he underwent tribulation. And he was beaten up by that demonic cultivator again, making his injuries even worse. He struggled to stand up straight and walked to Guo Xingyue's side and said, "Master, this disciple is useless and has caused you trouble." Guo Xingyue said with a smile, "Zheng'er, if you are inferior in skills and fail, it's not a big deal. As long as you practice hard, you can reduce the possibility of failure. Alright, let's not talk about this for now. We have to leave here as soon as possible." Guo Xingyue took Sheng Zheng's hand. With a teleportation, the two of them disappeared from where they were.
Half an hour later, there was a flash of figures in this mountain forest. Dozens of demonic cultivators appeared out of thin air. All of them had cultivation levels above the Fusion stage. The leader was exactly Luo Lin. Luo Lin walked to the body of the demonic cultivator lying on the ground and examined it carefully. He said with a smile, "Well, interesting. The progress is quite fast. I like this kind of opponent." Then he said to everyone, "This person can't have gone far. The Changge Sect and the Mingshan Sect block the road leading to the cultivator's star region. The Louyizong blocks the road leading to the Buddhist sect. The rest of the sects block the nearby star regions according to the original plan." Everyone received their orders and left.
More than a hundred years ago, Guo Xingyue escaped from Luo Lin's hands, which made Luo Lin extremely wary. Although at that time Guo Xingyue was only at the middle stage of the Deity Separation realm, Luo Lin regarded Guo Xingyue as his life-long enemy. After all, since Luo Lin began cultivating demonic arts, no enemy had ever escaped from his hands. Over the years, Luo Lin had never stopped hunting for Guo Xingyue. But he had always been unable to find Guo Xingyue's whereabouts. He also didn't expect that Guo Xingyue was actually right under his nose and was actually living freely among mortals. As soon as Luo Lin received the information sent by his disciple before dying, he immediately summoned all the powerful demonic cultivators of all sects to search for Guo Xingyue. But he still didn't find Guo Xingyue's whereabouts. Although he learned that Guo Xingyue had stayed at the Xingwu Hall, Luo Lin had always been extremely arrogant and simply didn't bother to deal with mortals. That's why the people of the Xingwu Hall were able to escape. Luo Lin concluded that Guo Xingyue must not have escaped from Lingyan Star yet. In the past one hundred and fifty years, the powerful demonic cultivators of all sects had almost turned Lingyan Star upside down but still had no news of Guo Xingyue. Just when the powerful cultivators of all sects were about to withdraw, Guo Xingyue appeared. Luo Lin immediately blocked all the passages from the demonic cultivation star regions to the outside and the nearby star regions according to the original plan. He absolutely didn't want Guo Xingyue, this life-long enemy, to escape again.
As for Guo Xingyue, since he obtained the star map given by the mysterious person, in addition to cultivating in the past more than a hundred years, he had been thinking about how to escape. Although he didn't completely know the specific strength of all sects in the demonic cultivation star regions, he still obtained the geographical locations of all major sects and the strength levels of the main powerful cultivators from the information in the mind of the demonic cultivator he killed in front of the palace. After analyzing various possibilities, he formulated a relatively complete escape plan.
Guo Xingyue and Sheng Zheng didn't leave Lingyan Star through the public teleportation array. Instead, they directly teleported into space. After several consecutive teleports, they came to the demonic cultivation planet Zichenxing not far from the border between the demonic cultivation star regions and the Buddhist star regions. They randomly found a cave in the mountains and after setting up an array, took out the Guiyuan Pill and took it to restore true essence. Then he said to Sheng Zheng, "Zheng'er, you can cultivate here for a while. As a teacher, I will go and draw away the pursuers. Before I come back, you must not leave the array without permission." After Sheng Zheng agreed, Guo Xingyue teleported to the vicinity of the passage between the demonic cultivation star regions and the Buddhist star regions.
There is also separated by a fairy array between the demonic cultivation star regions and the Buddhist star regions. There is only a narrow passage. The powerful cultivators of the Louyizong guarding the passage have already received the notice from the communication jade slip. The defense is extremely tight. Although the several most powerful cultivators at the Fusion stage in the sect have not returned yet, there are still many powerful cultivators guarding the passage. There are more than a dozen powerful cultivators above the Deity Separation stage alone. Guo Xingyue's spiritual sense and eyesight are far better than his cultivation level. At this moment, standing in the distant space at the passage entrance, he carefully observed the situation and estimated the situation: If he forced his way through, the possibility of success was extremely low. If he wanted to break through with Sheng Zheng, it would only be suicidal. But Guo Xingyue had never intended to force his way through in the first place. As the saying goes, what seems empty is actually real; what seems real is actually empty. Guo Xingyue did plan to leave the demonic cultivation star regions from here. With the power of the array, he could also eliminate all the demonic cultivators guarding the passage. But the prerequisite is to be able to lure all these powerful cultivators into the array. And while eliminating these powerful cultivators, he must also ensure that those powerful cultivators at the Fusion stage will not arrive in time. The first point is easy to handle. As for ensuring that those powerful cultivators at the Fusion stage cannot arrive in time, it is difficult. He must thoroughly stir up the situation and lure those powerful cultivators at the Fusion stage to the passage area leading to the cultivator's star regions to make this possible.
