Chapter 0956: Surrender

In the center district of the mountain.

The people from the Dragon’s Blood Lineage were trapped between the Guardian Spirits and Zhao Yan’s forces. Zhao Yan’s group was being really crafty with their offensive, launching long range attacks while staying just far enough to keep the Guardian Spirits from turning on them. This proved to be extremely problematic for the Dragon’s Blood Lineage, and they struggled embarrassingly.

With a sly smirk, Zhao Yan watched Li Wuyuan and his team arduously defend as he commented, “Why bother with these pointless struggles, Li Wuyuan? Just hand over your Spirit Resonance Golden Dew and your team can still leave here intact. This is just the beginning of the Spiritual Resonance Cave, you’ll still have plenty of opportunities to earn more later on. Going down here is an irrational choice.”

He had planned to persuade Li Wuyuan and his team into giving up. After all, these folks from the Dragon’s Blood Lineage were not ordinary people. If they really decided to fight to the bitter end, it could result in heavy casualties for Zhao Yan’s side too.

And this was an undesirable result. Ultimately, it was just like what he had said. The Spiritual Resonance Cave was just beginning, and it was essential for them to conserve their strength.

Hearing these words, Li Wuyuan’s face darkened and his eyes flared up in rage. He was the one who had led the rest here, and if he were to give up now, his standing and reputation among the five lineages would be tarnished for sure.

Moreover, he would have to cough up all the Spirit Resonance Golden Dew that he had collected thus far. He was extremely unwilling to do so.

Li Qingfeng leaned over and told him with a complicated look on his face, “Cousin Wuyuan, our situation doesn’t look good. If we drag this on any longer, we’ll suffer heavy casualties.”

Although Zhao Yan had an ulterior motive, what he had suggested was indeed the rational choice.

Li Wuyuan gritted his teeth with a gloomy gaze.

“Li Wuyuan, the other four lineages have fallen into the same predicament. If they decide to retreat before you, the Dragon’s Blood Lineage will be the only one left. If that happens, there’ll be no chance for you to surrender anymore,” Zhao Yan continued calmly with a cold, murderous intent hidden within his words.

When he heard this, Li Wuyuan’s expression finally changed.

Zhao Yan gave him another deadly stare, and resonant power surged within his body. Eight blindingly bright Heavenly Pearls shone behind him as he took a stance and prepared to attack Li Wuyuan, increasing the pressure on him.

As long as he could convince Li Wuyuan and his team to retreat here, the other four lineages would surely follow suit. In that case, he would be able to obtain all the Spirit Resonance Golden Dew easily.

However, just as Zhao Yan attempted to persuade Li Wuyuan into surrendering, a bright flare shot up into the sky from the forest in the distance. This was the distress signal from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao.

Zhao Yan was completely taken aback by the sudden development. Everyone else was also dumbfounded when they saw the signal in the sky.

The distress signal required the blood essence of someone from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao. As such, there was no chance that it was a false alarm.

As such, the three teams each sent two people over to their aid. Without any hesitation, these people flew towards the distress signal at their fastest speed.

Back at the center district, Zhao Yan looked over to Tian Miao from the Devil Fire Hall and told him, “Brother Tian, I’ll leave this place to you for now. You just need to keep watch over the Dragon’s Blood Lineage here. Once I’ve dealt with matters over there, I’ll return immediately. We’ll finish them off together!”

Tian Miao could only nod helplessly. “I can help you hold them back for a while. However, I’ll not be able to handle Li Wuyuan once they finish clearing up the Guardian Spirits.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back before then,” Zhao Yan replied with a cold voice. His resonant power surged and he flew into the sky, rushing towards where the distress signal had come from.

At this moment, numerous figures were soaring towards the east.

The situation had changed completely.

The root cause of this was Li Luo. He stood over the valley and enjoyed the view as Zhao Fengxu, Zhao Shenjiang, and his team struggled pathetically against the waves of Guardian Spirits.

“Li Luo, they’ve sent out a distress call. Assistance from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao will arrive shortly. Should we strike at them now?” Li Fuling asked.

Li Luo simply shook his head and replied, “If we attack now, the Guardian Spirits will come after us too.”

“When their help arrives, these Guardian Spirits won’t be able to handle them,” Li Fuling said with a frown.

Hearing this, a radiant smile appeared on Li Luo’s handsome face.

“There’s no need to hurry. Wait for their help to arrive first.”

He glanced around the valley as he said this. There were still some flame catalysts that he had yet to trigger. He had kept them around specifically to deal with the reinforcements.

The wait did not last long. Soon, beams of light descended from the edge of the sky towards them, each with a terrifying murderous aura.

Amongst them, the resonant power from their leader was so domineering that Li Fuling’s face changed completely.

“It’s Zhao Yan. He’s an eight-pearl!” Li Fuling reminded them immediately.

In fact, Zhao Yan’s vicious voice had echoed loudly in the air before he even arrived here.

“Since all of you from the Dragon’s Fang Lineage do not know your place, I’ll bury all of you here today!”
