Until death, on the opposite side, that Formation Map did not break open.

Immortal Lord Guan Ta casually slew another cultivator who had been heavily injured by Cao Zhen earlier, and then looked towards his senior brother, asking: "Senior brother, should we go to help Sect Leader Cao and the others, or remain here waiting for the Formation Map to break open?"

Immortal Lord Guan Shan glanced opposite, and murmured: "Sect Leader Cao already holds the absolute advantage. The opposing two Peak True Immortals are already injured, and it won’t take long for them to achieve victory. Whether we go or not makes little difference; better to stay here."

Within that Formation Map were, after all, four human cultivators with six Immortal Palaces and one with seven. Though earlier they hadn’t fallen behind, that was just the initial exchange. Their four opponents are all Sky Clan with eight Immortal Palaces.

As time drags on, once the opponents understand their techniques, I fear they may be overpowered.

Thus, it’s best to remain here, so once the Sky Clan open the Formation Map, they can immediately rescue these five human companions.

"Alright."

Immortal Lord Guan Shan nodded, watching the Formation Map intently, the aura from his Immortal Palace behind him continually surging, ready to act at any moment.

Suddenly, in the next breath, the Formation Map before them vanished.

Immortal Lord Guan Shan and Immortal Lord Guan Ta instantly tightened their grip on their treasures, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.

But upon seeing silhouettes emerging from the Formation Map, they froze in surprise.

Inside the Formation Map, the five humans stood before them, not unscathed, but seemingly not gravely injured, only suffering minor wounds.

And in the hands of four of them were the corpses of Sky Clan True Immortals.

Dead?

The five of them actually killed those four Sky Clan True Immortals?

Those were True Immortals with eight Immortal Palaces.

Under normal circumstances, even if they had one extra person, they wouldn’t have been able to defeat them, as they were short not just one Immortal Palace, but two, not to mention the gap between Mid and Late True Immortal Realms; even with anomalous Immortal Palaces, it wouldn’t bridge such a formidable disparity.

Yet the reality was before their eyes; these five not only defeated four opponents, but took a comparable amount of time.

They had two attacking one opponent; theirs was five against four.

Thus, each of these five might be stronger than either of the two!

No wonder all clans greatly feared not only Sect Leader Cao but also his disciples. They can transcend cultivation realms to kill formidable foes, let alone those in the same realm.

They are unquestionably invincible within their cultivation realm!

Though the five humans did not disclose their identities, appearing after Sect Leader Cao’s arrival and demonstrating talisman techniques and wielding eight arms clearly identified them as his disciples.

Ling Xi and others didn’t take long to eliminate the four Sky Clan True Immortals; ahead, two screams echoed.

The two Peak True Immortal entities of the Sky Clan perished one after another under the siege of Cao Zhen’s group.

"Quick, let’s relocate. Be sure to manage your wounded," Cao Zhen softly instructed, carrying the Sky Clan corpses to move, as such a commotion during battle would surely attract other cultivators.

Before finding all human traitors, he definitely didn’t want additional complications.

His gaze naturally fell upon the human traitor, Immortal Monarch Jinglu.

Immortal Monarch Jinglu, meeting Cao Zhen’s eyes, revealed fear, hurriedly pleading: "Don’t kill me, I’m human.

I erred, no, I was forced earlier; I truly didn’t wish to betray humanity. I know many secrets of the Sky Clan, spare me, and I’ll divulge them."

"Forced? You actively sought out our kin, informing the Sky Clan to slaughter our kin, also forced?

Willingly playing lapdog to the Sky Clan, also forced? And you claim to be human? Humanity has no such shameless scoundrel!" Cao Zhen extended his palm, obliterating Immortal Monarch Jinglu, proceeding with the group to fly away, halting after an hour’s journey.

Though Immortal Lord Ying Zong was heavily wounded before, he still addressed Cao Zhen gratefully: "Thank you, Sect Leader Cao, and fellow Dao Companions for your aid.

Otherwise, all four of us would have ended here. Never imagined such traitors existed among us humans!"

"No need for thanks; we are all human and cannot ignore this! That traitor was from the Eternal Assembly, which should have other traitors. We intend to track them down, so we won’t accompany you for now.

Your two are already heavily injured, so exercise great caution. Also, within their Heaven and Earth Rings..."

Before Cao Zhen could finish, Immortal Lord Ying Zong directly spoke: "Without all of you, we’d be dead, and naturally what’s in the Heaven and Earth Rings is yours."

"This... Dao Companion misunderstands; we are not referring to Heaven and Earth Ring treasures, but locating human traitors; items within Sky Clan Heaven and Earth Rings might be useful. Regardless if we saved you, by rules the spoils from the creatures you slew belong to you. We only seek particular items."
