The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

Chapter 117: Successfully escaped the battlefield and arrived at the Black Forest

“Let’s go, this isn’t our battle,” Ji Mi said.

“Okay, let’s go,” He Shihui said.

The four quickly fled the battlefield.

The demons gave up after chasing them for a while, and the demon king and queen had no time to pay attention to them.

Soon, they encountered human cultivators who were also fleeing the battlefield.

One of the cultivators, upon seeing the group, suddenly asked, "You're from the Floating Life Continent, aren't you?"

“Yes, we come from the Floating Life Continent, are you too?” Ji Mi said.

“Yes, we are all cultivators from the Floating Life Continent. We can’t go back. There is no path to immortality.” the cultivator said.

"The Path to Immortality? You came here for the Path to Immortality?" Ji Mi asked.

“Yes, we came here for the path to immortality. We heard that there is an opportunity to become an immortal here, but after arriving, we found that there is no path to immortality here at all, only endless demonic beasts,” the cultivator said.

“Yes, we’ve already lost many of our fellow disciples since we arrived here. Now only a few of us are left,” another cultivator said.

"It's dangerous here, you should leave as soon as possible," Ji Mi said.

"Leave? How can we get back? We have no way to go back," the monk said.

"There's no way to go back? Why?" Ji Mi asked.

"The black hole that leads back, which is also the teleportation altar, is in the center of the battlefield," the cultivator said.

At this moment, the battle between Su An and the Demon King had reached a fever pitch.

Both of them were moving at extremely high speeds, and only afterimages could be seen crisscrossing in the air.

"boom."

The two exchanged another blow, then each staggered back several steps.

“Your strength is not bad, but it’s not enough to kill me,” the Demon King said.

"Hmph, let's see if you can withstand this move." After saying that, Su An summoned his magic weapon and attacked the demon king.

"boom."

With a loud bang, the two attacks collided, unleashing a powerful energy surge.

"boom."

The energy fluctuations spread out, and both the Demon King and Su An took several steps back.

"Haha, that's great! Let's go again!" The Demon King laughed and charged at Su An once more.

"boom."

The two clashed again, each collision unleashing powerful energy fluctuations.

The surrounding monsters were scattered and fled by the aftershocks of the two's battle.

At this moment, Ji Mi and the other three had moved far away from the battlefield and arrived at a relatively safe place.

“That cultivator just said that the black hole that leads back is in the center of the battlefield. If we want to get back, we’ll probably have to cross the entire battlefield,” He Shihui said.

“Crossing the entire battlefield? Wouldn’t that be extremely dangerous?” Chu Ji said.

"Yes, but we have no other choice now, so we have to take the risk and try it," Dugu Xin said.

“Alright, let’s go to the center of the battlefield then,” Ji Mi said.

After the four of them discussed their plan, they rushed towards the center of the battlefield.

Soon, they encountered other cultivators.

These cultivators all came from the Floating Life Continent, and they all wanted to leave this place and return to the Floating Life Continent.

"You're also from the Floating Life Continent, right?" a cultivator asked.

“Yes, we are also cultivators from the Floating Life Continent,” Ji Mi said.

"Great! We've finally met some kindred spirits. You're here to find the path to immortality too, right?" the cultivator said.

"The path to immortality? We didn't come here for the path to immortality; we just want to leave this place," Ji Mi said.

"Leave here? Don't you know? There's no path to immortality here, only endless demonic beasts. We've already lost many of our fellow disciples, and now only a few of us are left," the cultivator said.

“We understand, but we have no other choice but to keep moving forward,” Ji Mi said.

“Alright, let’s go together then. There’s strength in numbers, and it’ll be good to have someone to help us,” the cultivator said.

Soon, Ji Mi and his group of four reunited with the other cultivators.

They ran together toward the center of the battlefield.

They encountered some monsters on the way, but they killed them all.

Although the process was arduous, they successfully reached the center of the battlefield.

At that moment, they saw the black hole.

"Is that the black hole that leads back?" He Shi asked.

“Yes, that should be it. Let’s go over there,” Ji Mi said.

The group flew toward the black hole, but were sucked in by a powerful suction force.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back on the Floating Life Continent.

"We're back?" Chu Ji said, somewhat incredulously.

“Yes, we’re back,” Ji Mi said.

They looked around and found that they were in a forest, surrounded by towering trees.

"Where is this?" Dugu Xin asked.

“I don’t know either. We were probably randomly teleported to some place on the Floating Life Continent,” Chu Ji said.

"So what should we do now?" He Shihui asked.

“This might be the Black Forest,” Ji Mi said. “Qi Yuan and I have been to the Black Forest before.”

“Without a guide, it’s very easy to get lost in the Black Forest,” Dugu Xin said.

“It’s alright, I have the Golden Compass. It will guide us out of the Black Forest,” He Shihui said.

“Okay, let’s leave the Black Forest then,” Ji Mi said.

……

At this moment, in the eastern region of the Ten Thousand Mountains on the Xuan Tian Continent, near the abyss, lies a battlefield.

There are fewer and fewer people on the battlefield.

Those cultivators with low cultivation levels had long been killed by the demonic beasts, while those with high cultivation levels were also constantly falling.

At this time, the number of demonic beasts on the battlefield had decreased, but those that remained were all highly skilled demonic beasts.

These demonic beasts are the kings among demonic beasts. They are extremely powerful, and even cultivators from the Xuan Tian Continent would find it difficult to deal with them.

The Demon King gradually lost ground, and the Demon Queen wanted to help, but was held back by an elder.

"Hold her back and buy Su An time," said an elder from the Xuantian Sect.

Just then, a cultivator from the Floating Life Continent successfully reached the black hole.

Su An kept urging the giant sword to slash at the demon king.

The Demon King retreated continuously, but Su An's attacks became increasingly fierce.

"Roar!"

The Demon King let out a roar and charged towards Su An.

Seeing this, Su An quickly raised the giant sword in his hand and slashed it at the demon king.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the Demon King and Su An were both sent flying backward.

"So powerful!" Su An exclaimed inwardly.

He hadn't expected the demon king to be so powerful; his full-force attack had only forced the demon king back a few steps.

"Su An, be careful!" At this moment, an elder of the Xuan Tian Sect shouted.

Upon hearing this, Su An immediately looked in that direction and saw a huge monster charging towards him.

This monster exudes a powerful aura, clearly indicating that it is a powerful monster.

Seeing this, Su An quickly raised the greatsword in his hand and slashed at the monster.

"boom!"

Another loud bang rang out, and the monster was sent flying by Su An's sword.

But the monster did not die. It got up from the ground and charged at Su An again.

"How come these monsters are impossible to kill?" Su An wondered to himself.

He discovered that these monsters seemed to be immortal; no matter how he attacked them, they could always get back up.

“Su An, these demonic beasts are the elite of the demon race. They are extremely resilient and difficult to kill,” said an elder of the Xuan Tian Sect.

"Then what should we do?" Su An asked.

"There is only one way: find their weakness and then strike them dead in one blow," the elder said.

"Weaknesses?" Upon hearing this, Su An began to carefully observe the demonic beasts.

He discovered that these monsters all had one thing in common: their eyes were all red.

"Could it be that the weakness of these demonic beasts is their eyes?" Su An wondered to himself.

Thinking of this, he charged at another monster and slashed at its eyes with his sword.

"Pfft!"

The monster's eyes were pierced by Su An's sword, and then its whole body began to tremble.

"Just as I thought!" Su An thought with great joy upon seeing this.

He rushed towards the other monsters and pierced their eyes one by one.

Soon, Su An had dealt with most of the monsters on the battlefield.

However, many demonic beasts are still attacking human cultivators.

On the battlefield, many cultivators wanted to escape back to the Floating Life Continent.

However, many cultivators on the Floating Life Continent were unaware of the situation. They had traveled through the tunnel to the Profound Heaven Continent on their path to immortality and appeared on the battlefield.

They had just emerged from the tunnel and were unaware of what was happening when they were drawn into the battle.

"What happened? How did we get here?"

"Where did these monsters come from? Why are they attacking us?"

"Run! These monsters are too powerful!"
