Chapter 816 - 432: Active Volcano

"Then let’s try it!"

Bai Yiyi was fearless.

As she stirred up her demonic power, divine power with a white glow began gathering around her.

At the same time, other members of the Demon Clan also started forming their ranks.

Although they weren’t as powerful in combat as Ji Hui and her group, they had the advantage in numbers.

If a battle truly broke out, it was uncertain who would win or lose.

Thus, two forces stood in opposition in the sky, and a great battle was about to explode.

"Look quickly! Gu Sheng is escaping in that direction!"

Suddenly, Hua Yunfei shouted, pointing towards the direction where Gu Sheng was fleeing.

Ji Hui’s eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s; upon seeing the movement, it was indeed Gu Sheng!

"Chase!"

Without any hesitation, Ji Hui’s figure blurred as she immediately charged towards Gu Sheng.

Bai Yiyi saw this and frowned.

She knew the importance of Gu Sheng, and if Ji Hui and her group caught up to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Don’t even think about it!"

Bai Yiyi roared angrily and commanded the members of the Demon Clan to swarm towards Ji Hui like a tidal wave.

In an instant, a mass of Demon Clan members pressed towards Ji Hui and her group, attempting to buy Gu Sheng more time.

Ji Hui’s figure came to a sudden halt mid-air, knowing she couldn’t let these Demon Clan members entangle her.

If too much time was wasted, Gu Sheng would undoubtedly escape far away.

"You guys! Stop them!"

Ji Hui immediately gave the order.

Other veterans of the Ji family received the command and rushed forward.

They blocked Bai Yiyi as if they didn’t care for their own lives.

Meanwhile, on another front, Ji Hui led Hua Yunfei, the Shaking Light Saintess, and a few remaining Ji family veterans in pursuit of Gu Sheng’s direction.

"Not good!"

Bai Yiyi’s heart sank when she saw this.

But those Ji family veterans confronting her were all incredibly powerful.

Even with those Demon Clan subordinates blocking, Bai Yiyi still couldn’t free herself to help.

At this moment, Bai Yiyi glanced towards the direction of the Peacock King and the Green Dragon King.

They were also being tangled with by the Ji family’s Holy Master and the Shaking Light Saint.

Thus, none of them could afford to worry about Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng! Run! Quickly!"

Taking advantage of a gap, Bai Yiyi transmitted her voice with all her might to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng, not daring to delay, fled directly forward.

His speed was extremely fast, but Ji Hui and the others were not slower.

Anxiety filled Gu Sheng’s heart; if Ji Hui caught up, he would surely have no place to die!

Subsequently, he suddenly changed direction, trying to shake off his pursuers.

Seeing this, Ji Hui immediately ordered: "Hua Yunfei! You and the Shaking Light Saintess flank Gu Sheng from other directions."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing these words, Hua Yunfei’s figure blurred and disappeared from view.

The Shaking Light Saintess, on the other hand, pursued from another direction.

The next moment, the Shaking Light Saintess was getting closer to Gu Sheng.

She appeared on Gu Sheng’s left, only a hundred meters apart.

The Shaking Light Saintess frowned slightly, knowing that Gu Sheng was already in a dire situation.

Then, her voice, through a transmission method, clearly entered Gu Sheng’s ears.

"Gu Sheng, stop running. I can help you."

"Hmm?"

Gu Sheng’s figure paused abruptly; he turned his head, eyes full of disbelief and alertness.

He knew the Shaking Light Saintess was from Ji Hui’s side, and her words weren’t to be trusted.

Thus, Gu Sheng didn’t reply, instead continuing to fly in another direction, even faster than before.

The Shaking Light Saintess pursued relentlessly, her voice sounding again: "Gu Sheng, you should know that now only the Shaking Light Sacred Land can accommodate you. If you continue to flee, you’ll eventually be killed by Ji Hui."

Tension gripped Gu Sheng’s heart; the Shaking Light Saintess’s words weren’t entirely without reason.

But he still didn’t dare to trust easily, so he transmitted back: "Why would you help me? Isn’t the Shaking Light Sacred Land allied with the Ji family?"

The Shaking Light Saintess didn’t slow down. "Allies? In this world, only interests are eternal."

"What do you want?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"The Great Void Skill! I’m helping you for this!"

The Shaking Light Saintess’s voice came through.

A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

He didn’t expect the Shaking Light Saintess to be interested in his Great Void Skill.

Gu Sheng hesitated somewhat.

He had heard before that the Shaking Light Saintess was typically a scheming woman.

Dealing with such a person, it was best to be cautious.

Seeing Gu Sheng’s hesitance, the Shaking Light Saintess seemed to become even more proactive.

"The Great Void Skill is a Supreme Secret Skill. If I can master it, the status of the Shaking Light Sacred Land will be greatly enhanced. Gu Sheng, if you hand the Great Void Skill over to me, I can ensure your safety and even make you an honored guest of the Shaking Light Sacred Land."

The Shaking Light Saintess’s voice sounded again.

Gu Sheng’s heart swiftly weighed the pros and cons.

If he continued to flee, he might eventually be caught by Ji Hui.

But if he handed the Great Void Skill to the Shaking Light Saintess, he could gain temporary sanctuary.

At the same time, he could also shift the conflict to the Shaking Light Sacred Land’s shoulders.

Wouldn’t this also exacerbate the conflict between the Ji family and the Shaking Light family?

With these thoughts, Gu Sheng’s speed gradually slowed down.

"I can give you the Great Void Skill, but you must ensure my safety and not restrict my freedom."

Gu Sheng transmitted to the Shaking Light Saintess.

A gleam of joy flashed in the Shaking Light Saintess’s eyes, realizing Gu Sheng was wavering.

"I swear in the name of the Shaking Light Sacred Land, as long as you hand over the Great Void Skill, I will ensure your safety and not restrict your freedom."

The Shaking Light Saintess immediately transmitted back.

With that, Gu Sheng came to a stop.

He turned around to face the Shaking Light Saintess and said, "Alright, I agree with you, but you must first guarantee my safety."

"Rest assured!"

The Shaking Light Saintess nodded slightly.

Her eyes were full of cunning.
