Chu Xinghe felt like he was in deep trouble!

He just wanted to watch the commotion and pretend to be a coward.

It would be great if Zheng Yu died here today. If any surviving Martial Emperor City disciple managed to escape and spread the word about today's events, then as a disciple of the Grand Sky Sect, being seen as cowardly and afraid of death while the Martial Emperor City disciples were being ambushed would quickly become known everywhere.

People wouldn't just say Chu Xinghe was cowardly.

They would say the Grand Sky Sect was cowardly, that they stood by and did nothing...

This would bring a huge blow to the sect.

Initially, Chu Xinghe wondered how he could lose this round.

But now he understood...

Why were you all abandoning the Martial Emperor City people to chase me?

And that Seventh Grade Martial Saint!

Why didn't you attack the Martial Emperor City people or Zheng Yu, but instead chased me like crazy?

Though bewildered, Chu Xinghe wasn't stupid. He wasn't fleeing towards the teleportation array.

After all, Ma Liang and the others were still there. If he ran in that direction, not only might he not escape, but they would also be in trouble.

So, Chu Xinghe chose to flee towards Spirit City. As long as he could get there, even an Eighth Grade Martial Sovereign wouldn't dare to capture him there.

But within half a minute, Chu Xinghe realized he was too naive.

The Seventh Grade Martial Saint was already behind him after a few strides through the air.

The Martial Saint's eyes were gleaming, looking at Chu Xinghe as if he were a lecher staring at his long-desired goddess lying naked.

"Chu Xinghe, where do you think you're going?" The Martial Saint's hand flickered with black energy, transforming into a large black hand reaching for Chu Xinghe.

"Don't attack! I surrender!"

Just as the black hand was about to grab him, Chu Xinghe stopped. The Martial Saint never expected him to halt, and he overshot by several dozen meters before stopping.

The other black-clothed people also caught up, surrounding Chu Xinghe in an instant!

"Hero, don't attack, I surrender! I surrender!"

Chu Xinghe said, crouching down with his hands over his head.

This scene left all the black-clothed people dumbfounded.

They were from the Demonic Shadow Sect, planning to ambush and capture Zheng Yu today.

But unexpectedly, they stumbled upon Chu Xinghe, a massive catch.

Compared to Chu Xinghe, Zheng Yu was nothing.

Recently, Chu Xinghe's name had spread far and wide.

Even the Demonic Shadow Sect had grown tired of hearing it.

Chu Xinghe, the number one of the younger generation, the Chosen of the Grand Sky Sect.

Capturing Chu Xinghe today would be an enormous achievement.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

The Demonic Shadow Sect had even prepared for Chu Xinghe's fierce resistance.

But what was this immediate surrender?

Is this really the Grand Sky Sect we know? Is this truly the number one of the younger generation?

Seventh Grade Martial Saint Demon Lord Meng Yong was also skeptical. How could someone like Chu Xinghe be cowardly?

Was this really Chu Xinghe?

But after observing Chu Xinghe closely, Meng Yong confirmed it.

The attire of a personal disciple of the Grand Sky Sect was unmistakable, and the Demonic Shadow Sect had acquired Chu Xinghe's portrait due to his recent prominence.

After comparing the portrait repeatedly, Meng Yong confirmed the person before him was indeed Chu Xinghe.

"Take him away!"

At Meng Yong's command, a group of black-clothed people rushed forward, quickly subduing Chu Xinghe and bagging him up.

Meng Yong led the Demonic Shadow Sect members away in a hurry...

Less than a minute after Meng Yong left, Zheng Yu arrived with the Martial Emperor City people.

Seeing the traces left by the departing black-clothed people, Zheng Yu was shocked.

Something terrible had happened! Senior Brother Xinghe had been captured!

Facing a Seventh Grade Martial Saint, Senior Brother Xinghe had no chance to resist.

Looking at the direction Senior Brother Xinghe fled, Zheng Yu confirmed it.

Senior Brother Xinghe wasn't cowardly or indifferent; he deliberately led the Demonic Shadow Sect away to help the Martial Emperor City.

Zheng Yu and his group had planned to return to Martial Emperor City via the teleportation array.

But unexpectedly, they encountered the Demonic Shadow Sect's ambush upon arrival, and Zheng Yu thought they were doomed.

The Martial Emperor City fought desperately, but just when they were about to falter, Senior Brother Xinghe appeared and led the Demonic Shadow Sect away.

The reason Zheng Yu believed Senior Brother Xinghe deliberately led them away was because of his escape direction.

If Senior Brother Xinghe were truly cowardly, he would have fled towards the Grand Sky Sect disciples, but he clearly headed towards Spirit City.

He intended to seek help from Spirit City, but with his cultivation level, he couldn't escape a Seventh Grade Demon Lord in time!

"Bang!" Zheng Yu crushed the Martial Emperor Token in his hand.

Instantly, countless rays of light shot into the sky, a call for help from Martial Emperor City.

The battle had been so intense that Zheng Yu hadn't had time to crush the Martial Emperor Token.

But now, Zheng Yu knew something serious had happened!

Senior Brother Xinghe had been captured by the Demonic Shadow Sect to save them. If anything happened to him, Zheng Yu could never atone!

"What's going on?" Soon, the surrounding Grand Sky Sect disciples arrived under the leadership of Ma Liang and Wan Lin.

After all, the shattered Martial Emperor Token would instantly spread the news, visible to everyone nearby.

"Zheng Yu?" Ma Liang recognized Zheng Yu.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Zheng Yu?" Wan Lin also asked.

"Something happened... Senior Brother Xinghe was captured by the Demonic Shadow Sect!"

Zheng Yu's words left all the Grand Sky Sect members stunned.

What? Wasn't Senior Brother Xinghe just going to check things out? How did he get captured?

But they quickly learned what had happened from Zheng Yu.

The Martial Emperor City disciples were ambushed by the Demonic Shadow Sect, and Chu Xinghe fearlessly led them away alone. Unfortunately, a Seventh Grade Demon Lord was present, and Senior Brother Xinghe couldn't resist, getting captured by the Demonic Shadow Sect.

"You... Zheng Yu, you..." Wan Lin almost fainted after hearing Zheng Yu's account!

But Zheng Yu's description matched Senior Brother Xinghe's usual behavior.

Senior Brother Xinghe was righteous, never leaving anyone in danger, always helping others. But today, he sacrificed himself for the Martial Emperor City.

Ma Liang said nothing, immediately taking out his sect disciple token and crushing it on the spot!

Not only Ma Liang, but all the Grand Sky Sect disciples also took out their tokens and crushed them!

The disciple token could communicate with the sect, and by crushing it, the sect would immediately know something was wrong.

"What's going on!" In Spirit City, several streaks of light arrived in the sky.

They were from Martial Emperor City, and besides them, people from various sects also rushed over after receiving the shattered Martial Emperor Token's message.

"Something happened! Something big! Senior Brother Xinghe was captured by the Demonic Shadow Sect!" Zheng Yu was in a panic, unlike his usual calm demeanor.

Countless experts rushed from Spirit City, and upon hearing Zheng Yu's words, everyone felt a chill.

Something big had happened!

This was truly a major incident!

Chu Xinghe had been captured by the Demonic Shadow Sect?

Damn... Was there anything bigger than this in Spirit City?

Who was Chu Xinghe?

If the Grand Sky Sect learned of this, they would be furious.

If anything happened to Chu Xinghe, the Grand Sky Sect might tear the sky apart!

Without needing anyone to speak, all the experts scattered, all with one goal: find Chu Xinghe!

Rescue Chu Xinghe immediately! At all costs!

Qin Xiangqian also arrived with the Grand Sky Sect experts in Spirit City.

But upon hearing the news, Qin Xiangqian's vision darkened, and he fell to his knees.

"Quick! Notify everyone in Spirit City, mobilize everyone, and if we can't find Senior Brother Xinghe, no one will survive!"

Qin Xiangqian's order quickly spread throughout Spirit City, turning it upside down!

"What? Senior Brother Xinghe was captured by the Demonic Shadow Sect! Everyone, find Senior Brother Xinghe immediately!"

"Damn Demonic Shadow Sect! How dare they capture Senior Brother Xinghe!"

The entire Grand Sky Sect in Spirit City mobilized, leaving no one behind. Nothing was more important than Senior Brother Xinghe's safety.

Not only the Grand Sky Sect, but after the news spread, the Martial Emperor City also mobilized completely.

Chu Xinghe had been captured by the Demonic Shadow Sect to save Zheng Yu and the Martial Emperor City.

The Martial Emperor City was in disbelief upon hearing this, but they knew they couldn't ignore it. The Martial Emperor City couldn't stand by.

If anything happened to Chu Xinghe, the Martial Emperor City would be held accountable.

Everyone from the Martial Emperor City went out, frantically searching for Chu Xinghe.

Other sects weren't idle either. Chu Xinghe was different from ordinary Grand Sky Sect disciples.

If a group of elite disciples from the Grand Sky Sect were ambushed and wiped out by the Demonic Shadow Sect, the Grand Sky Sect would be furious and seek revenge.

But if something happened to Chu Xinghe... it wouldn't just be about revenge.

The Grand Sky Sect might go to war with the Demonic Shadow Sect!

The world said Chu Xinghe was the most outstanding disciple of the Grand Sky Sect in four hundred years, even surpassing the tenth generation Grand Sky Emperor.

The Grand Sky Sect was grooming Chu Xinghe as the future leader of the sect.

This was evident from everything that happened after Chu Xinghe arrived in Spirit City.

Despite his seemingly reckless actions, the Grand Sky Sect didn't stop him; they supported him.

Even at the cost of losses, they didn't mind.

What did this mean?

It was clear they were using the sect's resources and losses to train Chu Xinghe.

If Chu Xinghe succeeded, great. If he failed, the sect was willing to pay a high price to teach him a lesson without hesitation.

Now, Chu Xinghe had been captured by the Demonic Shadow Sect, and it was because of the Martial Emperor City!

If anything happened to Chu Xinghe, with the Grand Sky Sect's domineering nature, the Martial Emperor City might suffer as well.

Spirit City was in chaos, with everyone dropping everything to search for Chu Xinghe. If they couldn't find him, they would face the Grand Sky Sect's wrath!

The Grand Sky Sect might even flatten the entire Spirit Vein Mountain in anger...
