Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 1688 - 1678: Demon Clan Retreats

Outside the Ancient City of Taihuang, the fight continued.

Zhenyang Sect was in a complete standoff with the Demon Clan. After several hours of battle, the Demon Clan suffered heavy losses, but Zhenyang Sect likewise had severe casualties, with thousands of disciples fallen and even more wounded.

The Demon Clan was launching insane attacks, showing no fear of death. If this continued, in order to repel the Demon Clan, I feared that over half of the Zhenyang Sect’s disciples would be sacrificed.

"Sect Leader, we can’t keep this up. Zhenyang Sect’s losses are too great, and it will be hard to recover our vital energy!"

The Evil Emperor approached Long Yan and spoke to him.

"But there’s no other choice,"

said Long Yan.

What the Evil Emperor said, he naturally knew, but apart from fighting to the death, there was no other way.

We must repel the Demon Clan; otherwise, it would be even more troublesome.

Of course, he could utilize the power of the Dragon God Ancient City, but the time was not right. Once used, Zhenyang Sect would have no more trump cards.

Up until now, Zhenyang Sect had not figured out the details of the Demon Clan’s forces.

"If it really won’t work, then we’ll change from offense to defense. First, we’ll retreat into the city center and let all the disciples recover their energy before fighting again."

spoke the Evil Emperor.

Zhenyang Sect truly could not afford such a drain.

Long Yan frowned slightly; indeed, this was a method, but once Zhenyang Sect yielded, it would definitely bolster the Demon Clan’s momentum, and in such a battle, momentum was very important.

"Hmm, someone is coming!"

Right then, Long Yan suddenly sensed a powerful breath drawing near and immediately looked in the direction from which the breath was coming.

In his line of sight, thousands were flying rapidly towards them, and the two leading them were very familiar to Long Yan—indeed they were Yan Chixiao and Nalan Feng.

"No need for that, our reinforcements have arrived!"

Long Yan was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected that Zhenyang Sect would still have reinforcements.

Yan Chixiao and Nalan Feng, with the Strong Ones of the Huashen Sect, had come.

Very quickly, Nalan Feng and Yan Chixiao, leading the people of the Huashen Sect, descended onto the battlefield.

Long Yan’s figure dashed out to greet them.

"Senior!"

Long Yan bowed to Yan Chixiao, showing his respect.

"It seems we’ve come at just the right time."

Yan Chixiao gave a smile. Long Yan was now a very different person from before, yet still so courteous, which made him think even more highly of Long Yan.

"Brother-in-law, I’m here to help you. I’ve brought the elite force of the Huashen Sect."

said Nalan Feng with a smile.

Behind him were fully three thousand people, all Emperors, mostly in the Early and Middle Phases of the Emperor Realm. Yet there were nearly two hundred in the Late Stage of the Emperor Realm as well, aside from Yan Chixiao, and a dozen or so God-transcending Tribulation experts.

Three thousand Emperors; this was definitely the core strength of the Huashen Sect.

"That’s wonderful, I was just worrying; your arrival is perfect!"

said Long Yan gratefully.

The arrival of the Huashen Sect at this time was undoubtedly the solution to Zhenyang Sect’s emergency.

Back then, when he agreed to form an alliance with the Huashen Sect, Long Yan didn’t truly believe that the Huashen Sect would assist Zhenyang Sect. But, it turned out he was mistaken. The Huashen Sect really treated Zhenyang Sect as an ally, or else they wouldn’t have dispatched such a formidable force to aid Zhenyang Sect.

"Now’s not the time for catching up; let’s repel the Demon Clan first,"

Yan Chixiao said.

"All members of the Huashen Sect, heed my command! Help Zhenyang Sect! Slay the Demon Clan!"

Nalan Feng shouted, and immediately he led the members of the Huashen Sect, joining the battlefield, with even Yan Chixiao himself taking action.

"Kill!"

The cries of slaughter pierced through Cloud Sky as Huashen Sect’s people charged in, and Zhenyang Sect’s momentum surged greatly.

"Who are these people, all Emperors, what power do they hail from?"

Apart from a minority like the Evil Emperor and the Mad Emperor, the others had no idea what the origins of these reinforcements were.

Although the Huashen Sect was well-known on the Sealed Gods Ancient Road, it was not very famous within the Emperor Domain.

"Who cares where they come from, as long as they are not enemies it’s fine. Take this chance to kill a few more members of the Demon Clan!"

Even though they had no clear understanding of the origins of the Huashen Sect, they knew these people came to aid the Zhenyang Sect, and that was enough.

The numbers of the Huashen Sect might not be large, but each of them was a Strong One, their overall strength surpassing that of the Zhenyang Sect, especially Yan Chixiao and the dozen or so God-transcending Tribulation experts whose attacks were like overwhelming tidal waves, crushing everything in their path.

In no time, the Zhenyang Sect’s side gained a clear upper hand.

In less than half an hour, tens of thousands of the Demon Clan fell, unable to withstand the relentless carnage of Yan Chixiao, Long Yan, and others, and began to retreat.

Very quickly, the Great Army of the Demon Clan retreated out of everyone’s field of view, and Long Yan and the others also stopped the pursuit.

The battle subsided, and on the battlefield, fresh blood dyed the ground red, the stench of blood was pungent, skeletons piled high.

"Three Supreme Elders, order the disciples to clean up the battlefield!"

Long Yan said to the Evil Emperor, the Mad Emperor, and the Profound Demon Venerable, then entered the Ancient City of Taihuang with Nalan Feng, Yan Chixiao, and others.

"Two Law Venerates, how is the situation inside the city?"

Long Yan walked up to Xing Yu and the Beimo Wilderness Venerable and asked.

"Everyone has suffered severe injuries, and more than seven hundred disciples have perished, the losses are heavy."

Xing Yu replied, his tone thoroughly exhausted.

"I will help you recover from your injuries!"

Saying this, Long Yan released the Vermilion Bird True Fire, enveloping Xing Yu and the Beimo Wilderness Venerable, operating the Undying Nirvana Technique.

The injuries of Xing Yu and the Beimo Wilderness Venerable visibly healed at a rapid pace, and in less than five breaths, they were fully restored as Long Yan withdrew the Vermilion Bird True Fire.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Xing Yu and the Beimo Wilderness Venerable respectfully bowed.

Immediately after, Long Yan also helped Yang Qishuan, Tianluo Head Teacher, and the Qiankun Building Master recover from their injuries.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Yang Qishuan, Tianluo Head Teacher, and the Qiankun Building Master also respectfully bowed to Long Yan.

If it hadn’t been for Long Yan’s help, they would have needed at least half a month to recover even with Healing Pills, and there could have been some lingering hidden ailments.

"Three Protectors, all these are Healing Pills to be distributed to those wounded disciples."

Long Yan took out a Storage Ring, filled with Healing Pills that he had brought from Jintang.

"Yes!"

Yang Qishuan accepted the Storage Ring, and after the three of them bowed together, they left together.

"Two Law Venerates, you lead some disciples to stabilize the people in the city to prevent chaos."

Then, Long Yan said to Xing Yu and the Beimo Wilderness Venerable.

The people in the city were not only from the Zhenyang Sect. Apart from some Zhenyang Sect affiliate Clan forces, there were others who had transferred from different places.

The advance of the Demon Clan’s Great Army was close, and if these people were not stabilized, chaos could create a significant problem.

"We will get on it right now!"

Xing Yu and the Beimo Wilderness Venerable nodded and then left. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Yan Chixiao stood by, watching Long Yan handle matters methodically, and he nodded privately, even feeling some admiration for Long Yan.

It was not just a matter of talent that could determine this, no wonder the Zhen Yang Sect could become the hegemon of the Southern Wasteland Continent in just a few short years.
