436: Chapter 436 The Battle to Defend the Luo Family

This scene left everyone completely stunned.

Emilia and Hua Liuli exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

They had previously known that Chen Yi possessed some kind of teleportation power.

But this was the Demon Abyss Cult headquarters, which was protected by a restrictive barrier!

This barrier was personally set up by Hua Liuli and incorporated the power of the Mirror World; theoretically, only her teleportation technique and Emilia's could be used here. No one else could perform spatial movement in this place.

Yet, Chen Yi teleported out in an instant?

What the hell is this—

"Chen Yi, just how many more surprises are waiting for us to discover?"

Emilia muttered to herself, a trace of complexity flashing in her eyes.

The more outstanding Chen Yi was, the more she felt as if she were taking advantage of someone—

After all, Chen Yi's age didn't even amount to a fraction of hers!

Yet he was more than a hundred times more outstanding than her!

Time moves back slightly by half an hour.

Dragon Kingdom, Luo Family ancestral grounds.

This Beast Tamer Family, with its thousand-year Legacy, was currently shrouded in a grim and murderous atmosphere.

The pavilions, gardens, small bridges, and flowing water of the past were now covered by layers of defensive arrays.

Luo Family disciples wearing various battle robes and their Contracted Spirit Beasts were patrolling every vital position.

Inside the Luo Family meeting hall, Luo Qinghe stood before a massive sand table, his brows furrowed tightly.

He had actually anticipated this long ago, knowing that ZERO would certainly not let the Luo Family, who had opposed him openly, off the hook.

Therefore, he had long arranged for many Beast Tamers within the Luo Family to be ready for battle at any time.

The defensive arrays of the Luo Family ancestral grounds were the crystallization of a thousand-year Legacy, and the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Although the strength of the disciples in the clan was uneven, they were united, and there were several Eleventh Rank Elders stationed there.

Logically speaking, this defensive force should be enough to cope with most threats.

But Luo Qinghe had still underestimated ZERO too much!

"Report—"

A Luo Family disciple rushed into the meeting hall and knelt on one knee: "A large number of unidentified Beast Tamers are approaching from the northeast! The number is at least three hundred! Including their Contracted Spirit Beasts, the number exceeds two thousand! And—"

"And what?"

"And by the side of each one of them, there are at least ten Demonic Beasts following! Those Demonic Beasts—they look like they have been controlled!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Controlling Demonic Beasts? How is this possible?

Could it be that now, everyone over at ZERO can control Demonic Beasts?

"Pass down the order, everyone enter the highest state of combat readiness!"

"Yes!"

Meanwhile.

Lin Mengxue, Luo Shiyin, Yan Jiuyue, Chu Feiyu, Yun Zhiyao, and Shi Yuying's Contracted Spirit Beasts were sitting cross-legged by the spirit spring, Cultivating.

Powerful fluctuations of aura emanated from them, and it was evident that their strength had made significant progress.

Ever since Chen Yi defected to the Demon Abyss Cult half a year ago, they had been secretly arranged by Luo Qinghe to go into seclusion here to Cultivate.

On one hand, it was to avoid the disturbances of the outside world, and on the other, it was to rapidly increase their strength to prepare for the great war that might come in the future.

The resources Chen Yi left behind were truly astonishing!

Thousand-year Ice Lotus, Phoenix Nirvana Grass, Blue Phoenix Feather Transformation Fruit, Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Flower, Dragon Shark Tear Beads—every single one was a supreme treasure that would cause a bloodbath if placed in the outside world!

Under the nourishment of these heaven and earth spiritual treasures, the speed at which The girls increased their strength was also extremely fast!

"Tenth Rank, Seventh Stage—finally Breakthrough!"

Luo Shiyin whispered to herself, but there was not much joy on her face.

For the past half year, she had been Cultivating desperately.

Not only to protect the Luo Family, but more importantly, so that one day she could stand by Chen Yi's side instead of becoming a burden to him.

Although the outside world was spreading rumors that Chen Yi had betrayed humanity and defected to the Demon Abyss Cult, Luo Shiyin had never doubted him.

She believed that Chen Yi would definitely return!

"Shiyin, you also had a Breakthrough?"

Lin Mengxue's voice came from behind.

Luo Shiyin turned around and saw that Lin Mengxue, Yan Jiuyue, Chu Feiyu, and Yun Zhiyao had all finished Cultivating.

The aura on the four girls had also reached around Tenth Rank, Seventh Stage; clearly, they had all gained tremendous progress during this half-year of arduous Cultivation.

"Yes!"

Luo Shiyin nodded, then immediately noticed Lin Mengxue's solemn expression, "Mengxue, what happened?"

Lin Mengxue explained the situation outside briefly.

When they heard that over three hundred Beast Tamers were attacking with controlled Demonic Beasts, the faces of The girls changed.

"Controlling Demonic Beasts? How is this possible?"

"Now is not the time to discuss whether it is possible or not."

"That's right! The Luo Family is in trouble, we must go to battle."

"Exactly! And—if these attackers were really sent by ZERO, then they might very well know Chen Yi's whereabouts!"

Mentioning Chen Yi, the eyes of the five girls became determined.

Half a year had passed, and they hadn't had any news of Chen Yi for half a year.

Although they believed that Chen Yi must have his own hidden difficulties and plans, that longing had been eroding their hearts all along.

Every night, they would gaze up at the starry sky.

Hoping that the handsome figure would suddenly appear, wearing a familiar smile and saying: "I'm back!"

Now, the opportunity had arrived.

"Let's go!"

Lin Mengxue walked toward the exit first, "Let us go see what kind of skills ZERO's subordinates actually have!"

As soon as the five girls walked out of the Cultivation base, they heard earth-shattering cries of battle and the roars of Demonic Beasts.

The defensive arrays of the Luo Family ancestral grounds had been fully activated, and a colorful light shield enveloped the entire residence.

But outside the array, a dense mass of enemies kept pouring in, and skills of various attributes bombarded the array, stirring up ripples.

Don't look at the fact that the average Rank of the attackers was only a mere Eighth Rank.

For most people in the Luo Family, it was still very difficult to cope with!

"Boom—"

With a loud bang, a crack appeared in the defensive array in the northeast direction.

Several attackers seized the opportunity to rush in and fought with the Luo Family disciples.

Blood splattered, screams rang out one after another, and the defensive line was torn apart in an instant.

"We can't wait any longer!"

"Let's go!"

"At least protect this place first!"

The girls rushed into the fight.

Although the Contracted Spirit Beasts under Shi Yuying were only Tenth Rank, Third Stage, they also chose to join the battle to help defend against the attackers.

Their participation instantly changed the battle situation.

Lin Mengxue charged at the very front.

Her silver-white Dragon horns radiated a formidable Dragon might.

She took a deep breath and blew out fiercely.

"Ice Seals the World!"

With her as the center, a terrifying cold wave swept out.

Enemies and Demonic Beasts within a hundred-meter radius were instantly frozen, turning into ice sculptures.

Those ice sculptures still maintained their charging posture, with ferocious expressions on their faces, but the next second, they shattered into countless ice crystals.

"It's Miss Lin! Miss Lin Mengxue is here!"

"Lin Mengxue? Isn't she Chen Yi's contracted partner?"

"Since she is here, doesn't that mean the Young Miss is here too?"

"Look, they are all here!"
