Chapter 471: Chaotic Battle
On the small platform in front of the tunnel entrance, Zhou Ziwen did not choose to continue fleeing.
Instead, he turned around and calmly looked at Tang Tianbao, who was closely following behind, with undisguised killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He firmly locked onto the opponent, unleashing the spiritual pressure of peak foundation establishment without reservation.
Soon after, the three members of the Purple Robe also arrived at the platform in front of the tunnel, confronting him from a distance without making any immediate moves.
Liu Yu felt somewhat strange in his heart. Once the residual waves of the Blood Fiend Orb passed, he approached and quickly understood the situation.
In his spiritual perception, several spiritual pressures were quickly approaching within the tunnel.
Each spiritual pressure was at least at the late stage of foundation establishment, already within reach.
It was evident who the newcomers were; they were most likely cultivators from the Heavenly One Sect and the Celestial Demon Sect.
According to what Zhou Ziwen had just said, it was highly likely that this person had secretly orchestrated things, guiding the cultivators from the two sects to come.
"With this development, a chaotic battle is inevitable from the perspective of the Holy Flame Sect."
"It just conveniently allows me to act."
Liu Yu remained calm and composed, also arriving at the platform, looking gravely at Zhou Ziwen and the dark tunnel behind him.
The three members of the Purple Robe frowned, their moods not pleasant, and even from some details, there was a hint of tension.
The strength of the newcomers should not be underestimated; this would be a fierce battle, and they did not have confidence.
With the strength of the Heavenly One Sect and Celestial Demon Sect cultivators, if not handled properly, a total collapse was not out of the question.
They had already decided to temporarily abandon the secret realm; in truth, the Purple Robe and others did not want to fight this battle.
The Holy Flame Sect had just lost its last Golden Core Elder. If they all fell here, it would undoubtedly deal the biggest blow to the sect, making the possibility of it falling into obscurity very high.
But the "Holy Sword" belonging to the sect could not be left unclaimed, and the "traitor" could not be allowed to live.
Even if they abandoned the first two intentions, from the standpoint of both sides, the cultivators from the two sects would not necessarily be willing to let them leave.
Money stirs people's hearts!
Moreover, this was an entire secret realm, and the key to opening the secret realm was in Tang Tianbao's hands.
After a while, the three members of the Purple Robe had regained their composure.
They subtly sensed Tang Tianbao's earlier restraint.
No matter how outstanding they had been in the past, at such a critical moment for the Holy Sect, showing mercy to the traitor made them feel dissatisfied.
However, with a great enemy before them, it was not the time to bicker about these things, so they held back.
Unlike Uncle Yang, the loyalty of the three members of the Purple Robe was to the sect, not to Tang Tianbao personally.
This point was already reflected in their distance from each other, as the four had clearly become more distant.
Liu Yu wore an expressionless face; he could roughly guess the inner thoughts of the four from the Holy Flame Sect, but at this point, it was already irrelevant.
The differing interests of the three parties determined their positions; events would ultimately develop in the direction he envisioned.
With the darkness of human nature, the upcoming battle was already inevitable!
In Liu Yu's spiritual perception, four spiritual pressures were close at hand, and gradually, the silhouettes of three cultivators appeared in the darkness of the tunnel.
All three were clad in white robes, two at the late stage of foundation establishment and one at the peak, with the leader being Ren Hongyan!
Upon appearing, the three from the Heavenly One Sect moved directly towards Zhou Ziwen, keeping a safe distance from each other.
