Legend of Swordsman

Later, they constructed a formation, which was the only way to resist it.

However, the time they could hold out was limited.

Someone needed to seek help.

As for the Zhu family, they wouldn’t intervene; they were only responsible for guarding the Dusk Plains.

So, Dantai first went back to the Xiang family for help.

This led to the events that followed.

After learning everything, the others began discussing countermeasures.

Jian Wushuang remained silent during this time.

However, Dantai kept glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Among these people, the strongest divine power was just over forty million.

The stronger ones had been taken away by Xiang Yang.

Dantai himself was injured and much weaker than before.

Now, the strongest one present was Jian Wushuang.

Naturally, they had to act according to Jian Wushuang’s decisions.

“Dantai, why not follow this plan? At worst, we’ll destroy a piece of land. After all, we are working for the Zhu family, and they can’t blame us for it!”

A Universe Master with a sharp, long mouth spoke confidently. His plan was simple: use divine fire to drive away the swarm of rats, create a path, and rescue Xiang Yang.

Several Universe Masters, who had been roped in, agreed. After all, there was no risk involved, just driving them away. It was a case of harming the enemy at the expense of damaging oneself, but the loss would be on the Zhu family!

“I agree with Long Mouth’s plan. Even if the Zhu family blames us, the Xiang family is still there!”

Dantai glanced at everyone, his expression somewhat troubled.

He actually liked this plan too, but if trouble arose, he would be the main culprit.

Expecting the Xiang family to cover for them wasn’t realistic either.

Because the ones trapped were the Xiang family’s disciples, and they were from the main lineage.

The Xiang family could be perfunctory about such matters.

They might not even be perfunctory with them, directly handing them over to the Zhu family for punishment.

At that time, the first to suffer would be him as the mastermind.

So, he hesitated.

This time, he directly pushed the problem to Jian Wushuang. Although it was quite unethical, there was no other way.

“Brother Wushuang, your strength is the greatest in this action. Why don’t you make a decision and see if there’s a better plan?”

Dantai’s tone was somewhat anxious.

It was already a great favor that Jian Wushuang came this time.

Now, pushing this difficult problem to him was almost too much.

Who was Jian Wushuang?

He had seen many storms and waves, how could he not understand?

If it were in the past, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill these people.

But now, he was exceptionally calm, even speaking gently, “Since everyone agrees to set a fire, then let’s do it. I have no objections!”

Dantai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then his brows relaxed, and he nodded, saying, “Then let’s arrange it this way. This time, I thank you all on behalf of Young Master Xiang Yang for your great help!”

These people were indeed offering great help.

When they were benefiting from the Dusk Plains, they didn’t involve them. Now that trouble arose, they remembered them. Once Xiang Yang was rescued, they must be compensated well.

After everyone finalized their plans, they quickly arrived at the Dusk Plain.

Looking down, the plain was just as its name suggested.

The dusk’s light shone on each blade of grass, and even the dew was a pale yellow.

It was as if the entire grassland had entered its twilight years, devoid of vitality.

Instead, there was a sense of despair just before autumn.

The impression it gave was one of desolation, from the outside in.

“Vibrant twilight?”

Jian Wushuang saw this scene, and his eyelids twitched as he instantly understood the reason.

The dusk did not come from the sky. It was very likely that there was a certain power below, absorbing all life.

This formed the dusk halo descending from the sky.

This wasn’t difficult to discern; any Universe God could detect it.

The reason they hadn’t explored it was probably because that power also brought them benefits, such as those special Blood Crystal Shards.

Buzz!

Just before the flying boat landed, a wave of energy suddenly attacked, but it stopped just in front of them.

Within the light wave were two figures, one tall and one short, revealing their true faces with a flame-shaped mark on their foreheads.

These were the Zhu family guards stationed here.

Both were demigods.

“Dantai, bringing so many people in is against the rules!”

Before they could speak, the other party had already taken a confrontational tone.

But Dantai still wore a smiling face and said, “Brother Chang Ling, you know the situation inside is complicated. I’m just trying to get Young Master Xiang Yang out quickly to preserve the Blood Crystal Shards!”

His voice deliberately lingered on the mention of the Blood Crystal Shards.

The two brothers of the Zhu family also understood that they were all mining for their own benefit and originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, so they reluctantly left.

Once the two brothers left, Dantai’s expression instantly turned cold.

“Hmph, those two have lived for countless years, yet they are so greedy, lacking even fifty million in divine power. They only dare to bully us!”

The others also quietly expressed their agreement with hatred.

Jian Wushuang did not expect these people to harbor such resentment toward the Zhu family.

He became curious about the Zhu family.

This was the first inherited family he encountered in the Wild Ancient Domain.

A family with the inheritance of the God Tomb.

Although it was only the inheritance of a six-star Universe God, he really wanted to see through this inheritance and glimpse what the Realm God Continent was like in the past.

There were too many hidden stories under the brilliant cultivation civilization.

Just like the Dusk Plain before them.

It was once a place full of life, but in the blink of an eye, it had reached its twilight years.

The flying boat entered the Dusk Plain, and after advancing for several more hours, they reached the depths of the plain.

The ground here was filled with many huge pits.

These were all mined pits.

“We’ve arrived!” Dantai’s face was solemn.

Everyone looked up into the distance, where a massive formation stood tall. Around it was a dark mass, which upon closer inspection, turned out to be demonic rats.

The number was incalculable, but it could be said that within a billion miles, there were demonic rats everywhere.

Among them were millions of pillars, and these pillars were formed by the rat hordes.

At the top of the pillars were golden demonic rats.

All were Universe Masters.

In other words, there were millions of demonic rats at the level of Universe Masters here.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

They looked anxiously at Dantai and said, “This isn’t a mouse plague; it’s clearly a rat epidemic. Even as demigods, we can’t save Young Master Xiang Yang!”

“I don’t know either. When I left, the scale wasn’t this large!” Dantai also panicked.

He wasn’t lying; if it really was this scale, he wouldn’t be able to handle it either.

Now that everyone was here, there was no reason to retreat.

He could only grit his teeth and proceed with the original plan.

Dantai took the lead, transforming divine power into fire.

This was a secret technique that all cultivators around Fire God Mountain knew.

“Use the Seven Flame Fire directly!”

“Ordinary divine fire can hardly drive away those Universe Master-level demonic rats!”

Everyone nodded and took action.

Instantly, divine fire descended from the sky, and colorful flames quickly swept from the edges to the center of the rat horde.

This speed was very fast because there was a wind-type Universe Master behind them.
