I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!

However, the speed of everyone's escape was still very slow, especially among the many Jianghu Guests in the middle.

Despite many of the Jianghu Guests with lower abilities having died at the hands of the "Barbarian King," many Lower Three Grades martial artists still remained.

Even when these people exerted their full strength, it was still as slow as a tortoise's pace.

Soon, they heard the demon energy of the Great Demons approaching from behind, coming closer and closer.

"You, cannot escape!"

The tiger demon's roar came through, causing the dense forest all around to shake, with leaves continuously falling.

The gloomy demon energy chased after everyone at an alarming speed.

"Venerable Wanshan!"

Scholar Li bellowed in a low voice.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Not waiting for him to remind him, the Venerable Wanshan had already detonated the previously arranged golden palm imprints.

A series of booming sounds erupted, with dazzling golden lights flashing from behind.

"Roar!!"

Accompanied by the frustrated howls of the demons, many of them continually screamed in agony.

"Damn it, there's poison everywhere!"

The Buddha Light, which suppresses demon energy effectively, even the powerful Demon King was eroded, losing chunks of scales and flesh.

Subsequently, it was corroded by the pervasive poison fog, with many Great Demons rolling about in distress.

Even the leading tiger demon hastily used its demon energy to protect itself, resisting the corrosion of the Buddha Light.

"I will devour you all!"

Cheng Yunshan coldly huffed, "Catch us first then talk!"

Though he said that, the protectors knew that it was only a matter of time before the tiger demon caught up with their current speed.

The Jianghu Guests ahead were just too slow.

This was also clear to Scholar Li.

He hesitated again and again, his face showing a hint of coldness, "We need to increase our speed, or else there's no chance of escaping to the heavens."

"Scholar Li, you..."

Lou Ya noticed his expression, his gaze shifting to the Jianghu Guests ahead and his face changed slightly.

Gu Tiangang and Sun Daofu exchanged glances, instantly understanding Scholar Li's intention, their faces showing some reluctance.

"University Scholar Li, our condition is still good, isn't it too early?"

Scholar Li's tone turned cold, saying, "Indecisiveness leads to disaster."

"In this mission, we aim to protect those Heavenly Prides; as long as they can safely return to the Wei Dynasty, even if we die, it's worth it!"

"I agree," said the elderly woman, "Do not forget the purpose of our mission!"

"Amitabha Buddha."

At this moment, the Venerable Wanshan sighed benevolently.

"I also agree, my Vajra Temple cannot afford more losses."

Even he said so, making it hard for others to object further.

"Let's persevere a bit more, Scholar Li."

"If it's impossible, abandoning them isn't too late."

Frowning, Li Fu didn't insist; he nodded in agreement and signaled everyone to increase their speed.

In no time, they were running amidst the crowd of Jianghu Guests.

Seeing this, those falling behind could not help but slow down their pace.

No one struggled, no one resentful, accepting the decision to be abandoned with equanimity.

"We are weak and have been a burden to you all for so long, for which we are ashamed."

"Indeed, we owe it to the seniors for managing to get this far; too bad we won't get to see 'Little Sword Immortal' anymore."

"Even if I die, I'll smash those beasts' faces bloody!"

"You're delusional, your little body isn't even enough to fill their teeth gaps."

"Hahaha..."

The laughter grew fainter and fainter. Gu Tiangang and others felt heavy-hearted yet continued to look forward.

Scholar Li was right.

Their journey south was for the growth of their sect disciples, for these talented youths to become the pillars of strength.

As long as they could grow up, they would not only become the supports of their own sects, the pillars of the Wei Dynasty, but also the reliance of the Human Race on the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield.

If so, they themselves were prepared to sacrifice their lives, let alone the Jianghu Guests?

Chen Yi, always observant of his surroundings, clearly understood the change in the Jianghu Guests behind.

While he made no judgment on the decisions of Scholar Li and others, it was not something he could ignore as if nothing had happened.

"Save whoever we can!"

Not just those abandoned Jianghu Guests but also people like Gu Tiangang who were prepared to fight to death.

Chen Yi made his decision and after wiping out several hundred demons, he stopped.

Under the envelopment of Sword Intent, everything within a five hundred li radius was crystal clear.

Behind, led by the tiger demon, were fourteen Great Demons, each stronger than the Second Grade Divine Travel Realm.

The leading tiger demon exhibited formidable strength, slightly stronger than the previously encountered Monkey Demon.

If its Bloodline Divine Ability was on par with the "Technique of Three Heads and Six Arms," then its power would be even greater.

Beyond these demons were several massive individuals from the Barbarian Clan.

Within them were three "Barbarian Kings" and seven Great Shamans, whose strengths were formidable.

However, they were merely following the demons at a leisurely pace, protecting the leader—a relatively petite female barbarian.

"Leader of the Southern Barbarian Sect?"

Chen Yi spotted her figure, understanding she was likely here for Gongye Shou, and didn't pay much attention.

At his left and right, mostly were weaker demons and barbarians, rarely encountering Divine Travel Realm Great Demons.

However, their numbers were many, rumbling as they encircled him.

"Within a hundred li, no danger; within two hundred li, will encounter Divine Travel Realm Great Demons and Barbarian Shamans."

"Three hundred li away, there are Barbarian Kings..."

Chen Yi calculated the speed of everyone's running, concluding, "Must resolve within thirty minutes."

That's enough!

Immediately, Chen Yi changed his direction, crossing paths with Xie Dongan and others who were rushing towards him.

"Brother Dong An, head to the southwest!"

With more powerful demons and barbarians encircling from the north, this redirection would give him more time.
