While those from Purple Star Palace made a move to attract the attention of Corpse Race members, in another direction, several rays of light were shooting towards the Muddy Sky Temple. The fiery light at the head looked like a falling aerolite.

 

They were the team of cultivators from Jiu Zhou who were coming over in a hurry.

 

From afar, they could see that the war was intense as countless Corpse Race members surged forward like a storm. They were on the ground and in the sky. On several occasions, the defence line of the Humans was almost destroyed. Everyone who saw the sight felt their chest tightening.

 

Upon their arrival, they didn’t conceal their presence, for there wasn’t such a need. They were there to storm into the Muddy Sky Temple this time.

 

The noise had certainly alerted the Corpse Race members. They soon came to intercept them as both parties clashed.

 

Yang Yuan and Ju Jia moved past Lu Ye to deal with the enemies. They growled as their Spiritual Powers surged, and their vitalities were ample. From afar, they looked like two burning mini Suns.

 

Faced with a large number of Corpse Race members, they fearlessly clashed with them despite being mortals. Like two tigers among a herd of sheep, they were invincible.

 

Following behind the two of them were Lu Ye and Feng Rulie. As light radiated from their saber and spear, they mercilessly destroyed the Corpse Race members.

 

Lu Qing activated his powerful spells to accurately eliminate Corpse Race members whom the others didn’t manage to kill.

 

A Sword Cry was continuously heard as Mu Qingyun wandered around with his sword. Wherever he went, all the enemies were slaughtered.

 

Lan Zi Yi, who was behind all of them, might seem to have nothing to do, but she continued to scan her surroundings with her penetrating gaze, ready to deal a heavy blow to the enemies when she needed to.

 

Ying Wuji had disappeared. Apart from Lu Ye, who had incredible perception, no one else knew where he was, but whenever he appeared, there would be Corpse Race members losing their lives.

 

Although they came from opposing sides and it was their first time collaborating, they worked so well together that it was as though they had rehearsed it countless times. Everyone played an important role. As the eight of them became one, they showcased a power much greater than if they merely combined their forces.

 

Wherever they went, the Corpse Race members, regardless of their number or power, couldn’t stop them at all.

 

At this moment, everyone felt that they were in their element.

 

Considering the current situation, even if a Real Lake Realm Master came here on his own, he would only have a limited impact. But when a group of Cloud River Realm Masters worked so well together, they didn’t need to use much energy to destroy their enemies.

 

The team of cultivators from Jiu Zhou continued to inch closer to the Muddy Sky Temple.

 

In the distance, when the cultivators from the Palace in the battle array saw that, they were astonished.

 

Only when they were on the battlefield did they know how powerful the Corpse Race members were and how difficult it was to deal with them. It was hard to imagine that a small team of people were able to break through the Corpse Race’s defence line and head straight to their hinterland.

 

The shocking sight significantly boosted their confidence as they madly activated their powers.

 

The cultivators from different bases were of great help too. If not for them, the cultivators from Purple Star Palace couldn’t have held on for a long time. But with their participation, they could persevere for a longer time even if they couldn’t defeat the Corpse Race.

 

Anyway, those from the Palace were responsible for restricting the Corpse Race members.

 

The noise near the Hidden Realm’s door shocked the three Corpse Marshals. After Iron Corpse Marshal Zhou Yun, the other two Corpse Marshals also emerged to mount pressure on the people from the Palace.

 

When the Copper Corpse Marshal, who was hidden among a large group of corpses, turned around and saw the domineering team of cultivators from Jiu Zhou, he was incensed.

 

As a yellow cloud surged, the Copper Corpse Marshal left the battlefield and shot towards the door.

 

Regardless of the reason those people were trying to get into the Hidden Realm, he couldn’t let them achieve their goal.

 

He was one of the Corpse Marshals under the Golden Corpse King, and he was a rotten Corpse Race member who was able to control a large number of corpses. Naturally, he had no regard for the small team.

 

Behind the defence line, when Pang Huanyin saw that, she wanted to stop him, but she was powerless to do so.

 

She and Elder Xiao could join forces and easily hold down an Iron Corpse Marshal, but on the chaotic battlefield, they could no longer be as impetuous as they initially were. All the cultivators, both from the Palace and the bases, remained in the same spots as they were protected by the three Soaring Dragon Boats. Once they left the protective barrier, even Pang Huanyin was at risk of losing her life.

 

As the Copper Corpse Marshal charged forward, the yellow cloud rolled and carried even more Corpse Race members with it. By the time he reached the door, there were a staggering number of corpses. Many zombies hid among them, waiting for a chance to strike.

 

Looking from afar, the large number of Corpse Race members was in stark contrast to the small team of cultivators from Jiu Zhou. It was as though there were several ants trying to kill an elephant.

 

Even in such a situation, the team from Jiu Zhou never had the intention of avoiding their enemies. Yang Yuan and Ju Jia, who were in front of everyone else, didn’t seem to be fearful of the danger ahead as they crashed into the corpses, which engulfed the team of Jiu Zhou as though a beast had opened its mouth wide.

 

Within the yellow cloud, only the violent fluctuations of Spiritual Powers were felt and lights of different colours flickered. It was like bolts of lighting were wandering around inside the yellow cloud. The team of cultivators from Jiu Zhou were nowhere in sight.

 

When Pang Huanyin saw that from a distance, she felt her heart leaping to her throat. But just ten breaths of time later, her eyes widened as the yellow cloud showed signs of coming apart.

 

There was no doubt the Copper Corpse Marshal was badly injured, so he could no longer control the corpses that belonged to him.

 

How did the cultivators from Jiu Zhou accurately find the Copper Corpse Marshal among the countless corpses? It wasn’t hard to deal with a rotten Corpse Race member himself, but the problem was that he had a lot of corpses to help cover him up. An average cultivator couldn’t easily find the Corpse Race member who controlled all the corpses. If cultivators of the Peerless Continent came across a rotten Corpse Race member and his corpses, they would be doomed unless they were able to escape. In the unfortunate event that they were killed, they would be turned into Corpse Race members.

 

Therefore, it was hard for Pang Huanyin to understand how Lu Ye and the others wounded the Copper Corpse Marshal.

 

As soon as the thought sprang into her mind, the yellow cloud disintegrated as many corpses fell from the sky. They were the corpses controlled by the Copper Corpse Marshal.

 

The team of cultivators from Jiu Zhou came into everyone’s sight. All of them were unharmed. It didn’t seem like they had been in a life-and-death battle.

 

A figure ran away from the disintegrating yellow cloud, looking battered and humiliated. He was none other than the Copper Corpse Marshal. Presently, his eyes trembled violently, which showed he was flabbergasted.

 

As a rotten Corpse Race member, he might be weaker than some zombies without the corpses to cover him up.

 

Presently, he could feel a sense of murderous intent locking onto him, so he immediately ran away.

 

“Do you think you can run away?” When a snort was heard, a Sword Cry sounded as a Sword Light penetrated the Void and slashed across the Copper Corpse Marshal, who instantly froze in mid-air.

 

The Sword Light turned around and stopped somewhere near Lu Ye before Mu Qingyun’s figure was revealed.

 

In mid-air, the Copper Corpse Marshal fell apart as his stinky blood poured down from the sky.

 

The Copper Corpse Marshal, who was one of the three Corpse Marshals, tried to intercept the team from Jiu Zhou on his own, but he was killed in just ten breaths of time.

 

Looking at it from afar, the cultivators from the Palace and the bases were ecstatic as their cheering was deafening.

 

The Silver Corpse Marshal and the Iron Corpse Marshal, who were held up in battles, were flabbergasted. They were also Corpse Marshals, so they were fully aware of how powerful the Copper Corpse Marshal was. Even if they were to deal with him, they might suffer miserably, but such a powerful Corpse Race member was killed in only ten breaths of time.

 

Ever since the appearance of the Corpse Race in the Peerless Continent, there had never been such a ridiculous incident in the past 1,000 years.

 

At that moment, the remaining two Corpse Marshals felt suddenly afraid, a sensation they hadn’t felt in a long time. They had no idea where those people came from and why they were so powerful.

 

“They’re all so weak! They’re all so weak!” Feng Rulie guffawed and wielded his spear. At that instant, he seemed to have gone mad during the battle.

 

Since his arrival in the Peerless Continent, he hadn’t had a proper fight. There was no doubt it was agonising for someone like him who loved to fight.

 

Everything he was experiencing now felt like a feast. His collaboration with the others also made sure that he had nothing else to worry about. He even felt that he could use 120 per cent of his power.

 

Certainly, the others shared the same sentiment. The eight of them were like a single entity. Although they played different roles, they were well-connected. As they charged forward, they exuded strong confidence. Regardless of what was ahead of them, they could easily destroy it.

 

Lu Qing secretly sighed. Only when one owned something great would he know how terrible it felt when he lost it. Their formation couldn’t last forever.

 

Presently, they could set aside their differences and work together in this place, but when they came across one another in Jiu Zhou in the future, they might get into a life-and-death battle again.

 

This made him feel sorrowful, but there was nothing he could do about it.

 

The Hidden Realm’s door was only a stone’s throw away, but there were still many Corpse Race members who tried to stop them. However, even the Copper Corpse Marshal could only hold up the team from Jiu Zhou for ten breaths of time, so how were these disorderly Corpse Race members supposed to intercept them?

 

Several breaths of time later, Yang Yuan and Ju Jia were the first to reach the door. They exchanged glances before dashing into the Hidden Realm without a word.

 

Paving the way in a dangerous area was usually the task of sturdy Body-tempering Cultivators. Naturally, the two of them wouldn’t back down.

 

Following behind them were Lu Ye and the others as they passed through the door.

 

When Pang Huanyin saw that from afar, she let out a breath of relief. The hardest part of their mission was over.

 

Lu Ye had told her that as long as they could barge into the Muddy Sky Temple, they could achieve their goal. As for the rest of the matter, the people from Purple Star Palace were powerless to interfere.

 

Therefore, from her perspective, after the team from Jiu Zhou stormed into the Muddy Sky Temple, the people from the Palace could either stay or leave. That said, she didn’t immediately tell everyone to retreat. That was because they could share the burden for Lu Ye and the others by staying there.

 

Before the dust settled, she and the people from the Palace would never retreat.

 

This was a matter concerning the Peerless Continent. Since the cultivators from Jiu Zhou were willing to risk their lives to save this world, the cultivators from the Peerless Continent could do the same.
