Xiao Yuqi's face also changed greatly after hearing this. The cultivators of Bi Xiao Gate were indeed cunning, and they had actually deceived Zhao Laozu and more than half of the Golden Elixir cultivators away.

  Now, almost all the Golden Core cultivators of Lie Tian Sect have followed Zhao Ming to pursue the Nascent Soul cultivator of Bi Xiang Men, leaving only three Golden Core cultivators who were originally sent to besiege Bi Xiang Men and Xiao Yuanqi. The Golden Core cultivators of Wan Shou Sect are all present, plus a dozen or so Golden Core-level demon beasts, which still outnumber those of Bi Xiang Men.

  But in this way, it's also very difficult to annihilate all the disciples of Bi Xiao Men.

  "Shi Dao brother, what do you think is good?" asked Xiao Yuanqi, opening his mouth to ask Shi Wendlong, the sect master of the Wan Shou Sect.

  Shi Wén Lóng hesitated for a moment before saying: "Alright, I'll lead half of the Golden Elixir cultivators from the Wan Shou Sect to pursue and attack this group of cultivators. Brother Xiao, you lead the fellow daoists from the Lie Tian Sect and the remaining Golden Elixir cultivators from our sect to guard this place, in case there are any more unexpected events."

  "That's great, thanks to Shi Dao for his hard work!" Xiao Yuanchi nodded in agreement with this approach.

  "That matter cannot be delayed, I'll take the lead!" Shi Wendl said, leading a number of Golden Elixir cultivators and several Golden Elixir stage demonic beasts flying rapidly towards the west.

  The team of monks and demons led by Shi Wén Lóng were all in the Golden Elixir stage, so their speed was naturally extremely astonishing. The disciples of Bi Xiāo Mén, on the other hand, were led by Golden Elixir stage cultivators who brought some lower-level disciples with them as they fled, greatly discounting their speed, and it's likely that they won't be able to escape pursuit.

  Li Hui's heart was secretly delighted, now the situation was chaotic, the demonic path golden elixir cultivators were all separated, the more chaotic the scene, the more advantageous it was for him to escape.

  Moreover, deep down in his heart, he still had a different feeling towards Bi Xiang Men. After all, he had lived in Ling Xiang City at the foot of Bi Xiang Mountain since childhood, and joining Bi Xiang Men was a dream that had been with him for a long time.

  In Bi Xiao Men, he had also lived for half a year, although there were no particularly close friends, but as fellow disciples, Li Hui still hoped in his heart that they could escape.

  "Advance!" ordered Xiao Yuqi.

  In less than a moment, they had already arrived above the Bi Xiao Men's Hu Shan Great Array.

  More than 10,000 demonic cultivators were dispatched to besiege the Bi Xiang Gate, divided into a dozen or so small teams, guarding all directions of the Bi Xiang Gate.

  At this time, the demonic cultivators brought by Xiao Yuqi also had nearly 10,000 people, leaving only a few in Lingxiao City. The new arrivals were divided into more than a dozen small teams, each surrounding and guarding various places above Bixiao Gate.

  The war of the cultivators is naturally different from the wars between ordinary people in the mortal world. In the wars between ordinary people, tens of thousands of troops often surround and attack a city like an iron barrel.

  But for practitioners of the Taoist arts, such a large number of people is not necessary, nor does it require a crowd to be considered surrounded. A small team of one thousand people can control an area of several dozen li.

  At this time, there were more than 20 thousand-man squads besieging the Bi Xiang Men from all sides. The areas of responsibility for these squads overlapped with each other. Once a squad found that a Bi Xiang Men cultivator was about to break out in their area, the nearby squads could quickly provide support.

  Xiao Shaojun and Li Hui were following behind Xiao Yuanqi at this time and did not participate in any small team.

  ……

  Bi Xiao Men Zhong

  Han Shidao and other four great leaders of Bixiao Gate as well as three Golden Elixir cultivators were all gathered in the grand hall of Yunxiao Peak.

  Inside the grand hall stood over two hundred low-level disciples. Among these disciples, there were both Foundation Building and Qi Refining disciples.

  If Li Hui were here, he would definitely find many familiar faces. Chen Mufeng, Wang Ze, Qin Wenjiang, Han Xue and other true spirit root disciples are all on the list - these are the real elite disciples of Bi Xianguan!

  A moment later, a disciple flew back to the hall: "Report to the leader and all the elders, the team led by Wu Changlao has broken through to the west, and several Golden Dan disciples of the Demon Dao have been sent to pursue them!"

  Han Shi's face revealed a hint of joy: "How many Golden Elixir cultivators are left outside now?"

  "There are less than ten Golden Core cultivators left, but there are still several Golden Core demonic beasts!"

  Han Shidao's face turned worried again, how could there be so many Jindan cultivators among these demonic cultivators! After a while, Han Shidao's face showed a resolute expression: "Jiang Shidi, Zhang Shidi, Peng Shidi, each of you take 200 disciples and break out in three different directions!"

  The three Jindan cultivators' faces changed slightly, and they finally responded in unison: "Yes, sir."

  "Alas!" Han Shi Dao Ren let out a long sigh: "If our sect hadn't fallen to this hopeless state, would I have resorted to such a lowly plan? Farewell, three junior brothers!" After finishing speaking, Han Shi Dao Ren bowed deeply and heavily towards the three of them.

  "Take care!" Liang Yan and the other four great leaders also bowed their heads in respect to these three Golden Elixir cultivators.

  The three Golden Elixir cultivators merely cupped their hands in a gesture of respect and left with some disappointment.

  Han Shidao and the four great leaders did not feel that the three were being rude, because they knew that the three had gone to lure the demonic cultivators away, using themselves as bait, so that Han Shidao and the elite disciples he led could break through. The danger was self-evident, although their task was only to lure the demonic cultivators away, but the demonic forces were too powerful, and it would not be easy to escape either.

  "The four fellow disciples, it can't be delayed any longer; Huayang Old Ancestor has lured away that demonic Dao Yuanying old monster, I don't know how long he can drag it out for, the several routes of suspicious troops sent out earlier are probably also unable to deceive the demonic Dao cultivators for too much longer, we must make our final move!" Hanshi Daoren said with a serious expression.

  "I didn't think that the thousand-year heritage of Bi Xiao Gate would disappear in an instant, and even Shanmen had to yield!" Zhou Yuanwu, the first seat of Purple Smoke Peak, said with some self-mockery.

  "Senior brother, this is not the time for sentimentality. We should make a decision as soon as possible!" Lin Yu said calmly.

  "It's all right, as long as these elite disciples of our sect can be safely transferred out, I'm not worried that our Bi Xiang Men won't rise again one day! In the future, if our sect prospers, we'll take back this mountain gate!" Han Shi Dao Ren said, pointing to Chen Mu Feng and other elite disciples in the hall.

  For a moment, everyone in the hall was invigorated and thought to themselves: "As long as we can keep the orthodox way of Bi Xiao Men, this mountain gate will be taken back sooner or later!"

  Outside the Bi Xiao Men mountain protection formation.

  Xiao Yuqi and several other Jindan cultivators were gathered together, standing high in the air and staring intently at every part of the Bixiao Gate's protective mountain array. At this moment, a surge of spiritual energy suddenly came from the northernmost part of the array, followed by a sword light shooting up into the sky, with over a dozen flying boats closely behind it.

  As soon as this team came out of the big formation, the big formation immediately closed again. This team of monks did not stay and rushed straight north.

  The demonic team patrolling in that area quickly approached, ready to take down this group of Bi Xiang cultivators.

  "Get out of the way!"

  The leading disciple of Bi Xiang Men's Golden Elixir sect let out a loud roar, his flying sword transforming into a several-zhang-long blade that chopped down with a deafening crash!

  "Boom!"

  The flying sword cut a path through the intercepting cultivators, and immediately the people of Bi Xianguan followed behind the Golden Dan cultivator in a surge, without stopping to flee northward.

  All of this was naturally seen by Xue Yuqing and the Jindan cultivators of the Wan Beast Sect.

  "Xiao Zongzhu, let's take this team and go after them!" said a Golden Dan cultivator from the Wan Beast Sect.

  "Thanks for your trouble, fellow traveler!" Xiao Yuqi replied gratefully.

  Immediately, two Golden Elixir cultivators from the Wan Beast Sect chased after this group of Bi Xiang Men cultivators.

  Not long after the two Golden Core cultivators of the Wan Beast Sect left, two teams of Bi Xiang Men cultivators led by Golden Core cultivators suddenly appeared and rushed out in different directions.

  Xiao Yuqi's expression changed: "Fellow daoists of the Wan Beast Sect, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to go and intercept these two groups of cultivators!"

  Four more Golden Elixir cultivators from the Myriad Beasts Sect chased after him.

  At this time, there were only Xiao Yuanqi and three Lian Tian Sect Golden Dan cultivators left, as well as three Golden Dan stage three-headed demon beasts.

  In an instant, as if a pot had been opened, team after team of Fei Xuan Men cultivators' flying boat squadrons appeared, and as soon as they did, they immediately dispersed in all directions.

  For a moment, the demonic cultivators were caught off guard and unable to react in time. The various small teams rushed forward to intercept them.

  Xiao Yuanchi was thoroughly stunned, with so many teams, he didn't know which one was the true elite disciple of Bi Xiang Men. However, as a sect leader, he quickly calmed down and loudly commanded: "All disciples listen to orders, each small team will guard its position, don't mess up the formation, and hold back the enemies in your respective areas!" At the same time, his divine sense was fully released, covering the entire area, searching for the aura of Golden Dan cultivators.

  At this time, the elite disciples led by Hanshi Daoist and the four great first seats of Bixiao Gate also emerged from the Hushan Great Array amidst these ordinary disciple troops.

  "Divide into two teams and break through! Lin, younger brother, Liang, younger brother, you two will make a breakthrough in the northeast direction. Zhou, younger brother, Murong, younger brother, you two follow me to make a breakthrough in the northwest direction!" As soon as they left the Protecting Mountain Array, Hanshi Daoist gave the order.

  The elite disciples of the Azure Sky Sect suddenly split into two groups, rushing out in two different directions. Since all the demonic cultivators were currently at the south side, they chose to break through from the north side.

  "Hmph, how cunning!" Xiao Yuanchi coldly snorted, at this time his divine sense had already locked onto the Jindan cultivators of Bi Xianguan, judging their location.

  Several Golden Elixir cultivators of the Wan Beast Sect also found the location of the Golden Elixir cultivator of the Bi Xiao Gate through their divine sense.

  "Friends of the Wan Beast Sect, you pursue the northeast route, we'll pursue the northwest route!" Xiao Yuanqi made a decision in an instant.

  The Golden Elixir cultivators of the Wan Beast Sect naturally had no objections and chased after him in a northeast direction, while also sending out a message to the disciples in that direction to intercept him.

  Xiao Yuqi led the three Golden Elixir cultivators of Lie Tian Sect to pursue northwest, while transmitting a message to nearby disciples to gather in the northwest direction.

  At this time, the number of demonic cultivators was several times that of the Azure Sky Sect. It was just that the high-ranking cultivators were divided and scattered, which made the situation somewhat passive. At this moment, with a single command, a portion of the demonic cultivators from each small team split off to gather in the northeast and northwest.

  "Li Shidi, let's go take a look at the excitement!" Xiao Shaojun said as he urged his flying boat to move, heading northeast in pursuit of the Jindan cultivators from Lie Tian Zong.
