Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1697: Help! 🆘

Published: March 9, 2025

Tan Tan thought to himself, seeing that the heavenly demons had already swooped in close, he immediately shouted in a deep voice: “Wait! I have something to say!”

The heavenly demon indeed halted, confused, and asked, “Oh, what do you have to say?”

Tan Tan took a couple of breaths, calming his breath, and said, “For fairness, you step back three steps first!”

The heavenly demon questioned, “Why is that?”

Tan Tan angrily replied, “I don’t care! Why does talking to you have to be so difficult?”

The heavenly demon snorted coldly: “If I step back three steps, what can you do about it?”

Tan Tan took a deep breath, suddenly puffed out his chest, and shouted at the heavenly demon: “Hey!!!”

His voice rang like spring thunder, shaking the surroundings.

Upon hearing this, the heavenly demon inexplicably took another step back and said, “If you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Tan Tan shouted at the top of his lungs as if he had exhausted all his strength: “Help!!!”

The heavenly demon was momentarily stunned, hardly believing his ears, and asked in surprise, “What did you say?”

Tan Tan didn’t care about what he was saying anymore, continually calling out: “Yiang Yiang Ang~~~ Help!!!~~~ Yiang Yiang Ang~~~ Help!!!... If you don’t come soon, I’m done for... you damned…”

The heavenly demon flew into a rage: “So you are calling for help, you actually shouted for someone to save you!”

Tan Tan retorted: “You idiot! Can’t you tell I’m calling for help now? When encountering a powerful villain, am I not allowed to shout for help? What kind of ridiculous logic is that?”

Then he opened his throat again, letting out a heart-wrenching roar: “Help!!! Yiang Yiang Ang~~~!!!”

The heavenly demon was furious, leaping up, demonic energy swirling, enveloping the entire area.

Tan Tan did not retreat; he leaped forward to meet him, and Gu Yigu and the others joined the battle, engaging with the heavenly demon in an instant.

On Tan Tan’s side, united in purpose, they fought against the enemy. This battle was destined to have no chance of victory, but they could still struggle together for some time, hoping that someone would truly come to their rescue before their united front was broken!

In the sky.

“Help!!!” This unique voice from the Nine Heavens Continent also carried a unique wretched feeling, spreading rapidly in all directions for hundreds of miles, shaking the world...

In Central Capital City.

In terms of their positions, Gu Duxing and Mo Qingwu were closest to each other.

While conducting propaganda, battling... and constantly dealing with sneak attacks, Gu Duxing always kept part of his mind focused on news regarding Mo Qingwu.

After all, she was the future sister-in-law.

Especially since Mo Qingwu was so young, and this was her first real battle experience.

Even though Mo Qingwu’s cultivation had reached its peak, Gu Duxing still couldn’t completely rest easy.

In fact, Mo Qingwu was positioned in the northeast, while Gu Duxing was directly to the north. This was originally Chu Yang’s arrangement, and Gu Duxing, not being foolish, naturally understood the implications of Chu Yang's actions.

Among the Nine Calamity brothers, Gu Duxing was the first one Chu Yang met, the one he had spent the most time with, and understood the deepest. Although Gu Duxing was the strongest among the brothers, even if he weren’t the strongest, in a certain psychological sense, Chu Yang felt most at ease placing Gu Duxing here.

This doesn’t mean that he couldn’t fully trust the other brothers in this position, but it’s a matter of preconceived notions in Chu Yang’s mind, which has nothing to do with emotions and everything to do with prior experiences.

This is a blind spot in human thinking; there’s no reasoning behind it; it’s basically a subconscious behavior.

Just like some leaders in businesses today who clearly have excellent talents but do not utilize them, instead opting to use the old brothers from the beginning during the most critical moments—although they are aware that this may not be the right choice, they do it subconsciously… can you blame them?
