Chapter 6224: Wind, Withdraw The waves took over and tore the sky apart. Black Witch Monarch’s gods were taken down, reverting to severed beans. Cultivators couldn’t fathom how these regular beans possessed so much power without relying on the dao. Where did their power come from? “Deviant path!” The newcomer appeared in the air, still confused about the gods. His desolate god’s aura appeared endless and suffocated weaker cultivators. He wore a similar- styled robe to Bamboo Venerable with numerous tassels woven together. He was older and had longer hair than women. When they fluttered in the air, they gave the impression of poplar trees swaying to the wind. They were sharp and thick like a hedgehog’s spines. “Senior Brother.” Bamboo Venerable looked beaten. “The right protector of devil cult, Poplar Venerable.” Orchidcore’s expression soured since the senior brother was considerably stronger. “Wind, withdraw!” Black Witch Monarch immediately disappeared after seeing another cultivator. “Hey!” The princess called out but he was long gone. The venerables couldn’t stop him from escaping either. “Hmph.” Bamboo Venerable scowled since he couldn’t avenge the defeat earlier. “Who are these juniors?” Poplar asked. His pressure made it hard for the young geniuses to stand upright. “Extraordinary, students from Orchid Academy but also Lankavatara Temple, Desolate Frontier, Sacred Mountain.” Bamboo answered. “It’s an honor to meet you, Senior.” Orchidcore always conducted politely. “Desolate Frontier?” Poplar gazed at them again. Desolate Frontier, in particular, was immensely dominant and could be stronger than the two heavens. It had plenty of primal ancestors and heaven-slayers as well. Although Desolate Ancestor was no longer there, people still feared it. Powerful existences remained such as Everlasting Jiang, Chen Shishi, and North Kun God. “Leave the lotus and leave.” Poplar said. “Senior, you are at risk of making a fool of yourself with this unsavory act. The lotus already has a master.” Orchidcore said. “A fool out of myself?” Poplar and Bamboo surrounded the group. “How would they know?” Poplar uttered coldly. “It’s too late for you to leave now.” Bamboo understood his senior brother’s plan and released his aura to form a seal. “Brother, there is no need to die here for one flower.” Li Xian whispered and pulled Orchidcore’s sleeve. “It is too late now, you chose the hard way so now, face the consequence.” Bamboo said. “Hmph, want to silence us?” Princess Chen said coldly. “The weak is prey to the strong, that’s just the way of things. I gave you ample opportunities to leave earlier but you chose hell.” Bamboo said. “Amitabha. Senior, it seems like your heart yearns for evil.” Monk Zhu placed his palms together. “We won’t go down without a fight.” Orchidcore said. “What fight? I can crush you like an ant.” Bamboo sneered. The group’s expression soured but this was indeed the truth. They had the best merit laws and techniques. Alas, their cultivation couldn’t support them. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚 “What should we do now, Young Noble?” Li Xian hid behind Li Qiye and whispered, placing his hope on the hidden master. “No rush.” Li Qiye smiled. “Ask for help.” Princess Chen told her allies. “Time for you to die!” Bamboo and Poplar no longer wasted time after hearing this.
