Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 721: Chapter 436: Virtual Zen_1

Logan and the Holy Daoist entered the Demon Beast Secret Realm, a small world bathed in blood-red, surrounded by Demonic Qi in the air, causing the two cultivators of the righteous path to feel their hearts pound.

As a place teeming with Demon Beasts, in order not to expose themselves, Logan and his companion concealed their presence and swiftly searched within the Secret Land.

Yet before long, a Demon Beast of the Saint Seat Realm let out a roar, sensed their presence, and swung its claw toward Logan’s hiding spot.

Logan and the Holy Daoist quickly dodged the attack and retreated, not wanting to engage in a battle, as that would undoubtedly attract more enemies. After exchanging a glance, they quickly fled; as members of the human race, cultivators by nature, they were much faster and thus shook off their pursuer.

Although the Demon Beast Secret Realm was only a small world, it still spanned tens of thousands of miles. Finding the kidnapped Wexler Daoist was clearly not going to be easy.

“The only way to quickly find Wexler Daoist is to use his divine consciousness to extrapolate his location,” said Logan to the Holy Daoist. Both of them knew nothing about the Demon Beast Secret Realm and continuing to search blindly would only waste time.

In Logan’s plan, the venture into the Demon Beast Secret Realm was to end in a day. Cloud Sky Taoist was on the brink of life, awaiting the Holy Life Elixir.

The Holy Daoist sighed deeply, clearly troubled, “As soon as we extrapolate, we will surely attract the attention of the Powerhouses within the Demon Beast Secret Realm. Won’t that put us directly in the line of fire? How will we rescue anyone then? We would be too busy saving ourselves.”

“There is no other way. Besides, our presence in the Demon Beast Secret Realm has already been exposed by the chase we just escaped; others must be aware by now,” Logan replied, aware of the increased risk. However, in the face of a deadlock, one had to be bold, as a confrontation with the Powerhouses of the Demon Beast Secret Realm was inevitable.

Rescue undetected? That was impossible. The enemy would certainly deploy a significant force to guard Wexler Daoist, including several from the Sanctuary.

Since the enemy had only kidnapped and not killed Wexler Daoist on the spot, their aim seemed to be to cast a wide net and entrap the remaining Sanctuaries. Faced with the enemy’s sinister traps, one had no choice but to enter the fray alone and see who would have the last laugh.

The Holy Daoist nodded in agreement, “Then that’s the only way. But remember what I said: if we can rescue Wexler Daoist, good; if not, we can’t risk ourselves. The Fire Phoenix is more important than Wexler Daoist because it concerns the creation of the Holy Life Elixir.”

Frankly speaking, although they had a good relationship with Wexler Daoist, it wasn’t to the extent that they would sacrifice themselves. Faced with an array of Sanctuary Powerhouses, the Holy Daoist wouldn’t be foolish.

If they obtained the Holy Life Elixir and extended their lifespan, they could unite with dozens of Sanctuaries to come back to the Secret Land for revenge on Wexler Daoist’s behalf.

“I will weigh the pros and cons,” Logan replied; he was here for experience, and if pushed to the brink, he would be the first to flee.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

To Logan, although he appeared kindhearted, his safety took precedence over rescuing someone. Only by surviving could one continue on the path of cultivation; once dead, all would be lost like a passing cloud.

Wexler Daoist was a friend, albeit one he hadn’t known for long. Logan would certainly not risk his life unless it was Bart Cloud who had been kidnapped. For his dedicated guard, Logan might just risk life and limb to try a rescue.

The Holy Daoist began the divination while Logan assisted. A golden Rune appeared, quickly pinpointing Wexler Daoist’s location.

It wasn’t far, just a few dozen miles away. Both men’s faces lit up with a smile, and they immediately set off toward Wexler Daoist’s location.

However, a residual Rune in the area soon attracted hundreds of Demon Beasts. Since the Monster Beast Clan didn’t use Runes, they understood that outsiders had entered the Demon Beast Secret Realm.

Logan and his partner reached a canyon where they sensed more than a dozen powerful auras, each of them at the level of the Sanctuary. This put the Holy Daoist on pins and needles, as the gathering place of the Powerhouses in the Demon Beast Secret Realm likely spelled more danger than luck.

But set on the rescue, they proceeded regardless, masking their auras. Barely a hundred steps in, several figures emerged from within.

“They are all at the Quasi-Saint Realm,” the Holy Daoist said gravely, glancing at Logan. “If things go south, we’ll split up and run in different directions. Don’t fall into their trap for real.”

“I am well aware. The Quasi-Saints I can handle, but soon enough the Sanctuaries will come to their aid, and we will need to leave quickly,” Logan replied, nodding.

Now that they had been discovered, there was no need to hide. They attacked the opponents upon revealing themselves. Against two Sanctuary Powerhouses, the dozen or so Quasi-Saints instantly fell into a disadvantageous position, utterly unable to fight back. However, since the Monster Beast Clan were naturally strong-bodied, even with their fearsome strikes, Logan and his companion couldn’t kill them.

Yet, as the battle continued for four or five rounds and the Quasi-Saints sustained severe injuries, it was still Demon Beast Secret Realm territory; Logan and his partner refrained from killing. After an exchange of looks, they prepared to keep moving through the mountain range.

But at that moment, a Sanctuary Powerhouse appeared, not only blocking Logan and his partner but also erecting a powerful Divine Skill barrier around them, limiting their space. If they wanted to escape, they would need time to break through the barrier.
