Two top-level cultivators were confronting Ye Wantong and Black Widow, but they still had strength left. However, their expressions were extremely grim.

In the blink of an eye, everyone on their side had been taken care of, and there were more than a dozen individuals in the air completely blocking their path. Judging by the situation, it seemed there was no way they'd manage to escape.

"Who exactly are you!" a man shouted angrily: "Do you realize the consequences of opposing the Divine Palace?"

"Enough nonsense!" Black Widow shouted angrily: "The person down there is my brother, his name is Su Yang, you tell me who we are!"

The man's face changed dramatically, although he hadn't met Su Yang, he had heard of Su Yang's name and naturally knew of Su Yang's identity.

These people had been guarding here all along, unaware that Su Yang had left Kunlun Mountain. Now seeing Su Yang with so many formidable experts around, they realized they were truly doomed.

Su Yang would certainly not fear anything from their Divine Palace!

The two top-level cultivators exchanged looks and covertly signaled to each other.

Suddenly, one of the men drew a knife from the void and, with a furious roar, slashed towards Black Widow: "Since I can't escape, I'm taking one down with me!"

The blade's light soared into the sky with astonishing power, charging towards Black Widow with unstoppable momentum.

Black Widow's expression changed dramatically, she launched seventeen punches instantly. She didn't aim to shatter the blade light, but at least slow it down enough so she could retreat.

Those around were also alarmed, gathering their strength, watching intently at the blade light in the air. If Black Widow couldn't withstand it, they would immediately step in to rescue her.

Meanwhile, the man who attacked quickly descended from the air, using the blade light as cover.

Another top-level cultivator also punched Ye Wantong away, rapidly following the descent.

As the first man landed, he immediately punched the ground, creating a large pit. From within the pit, a mass of black energy surged out, rotating in the air, swiftly forming into a giant vortex.

"Gate of Life!" Su Yang roared angrily, his attention had been drawn by the blade light. By the time these two landed, he realized something was wrong, but the Gate of Life had already emerged.

However, Su Yang couldn't fathom it; he hadn't felt anything before, how did this Gate of Life suddenly congeal?

Su Yang had seen the Gate of Life before, and its congealing usually required a magic artifact to summon. Using the artifact, either absolute power was used to guide, or the power of a Life Soul was sacrificed.

Alternatively, without a magic artifact, it would require heaven-defying power to congeal. These two top-level cultivators definitely didn't have the ability to congeal the Gate of Life without an artifact. So, they surely used an artifact.

But Su Yang hadn't sensed much power fluctuation, and not many people had died here, so there was no talk of Life Soul sacrifice. So how did this Gate of Life suddenly appear?

The appearance of the Gate of Life was so sudden, even Su Yang was caught off guard, making it too late to intervene.

The two top-level cultivators knew this was their last chance and desperately jumped into the vortex.

Seeing the two about to enter the vortex, suddenly someone charged out and launched a full-force attack at them.

The faces of the two changed, the newcomer's strength was formidable. If they didn't defend, they'd not only be injured but also be knocked away, unable to enter the Gate of Life.

But if they defended, it would delay them, giving Su Yang time to rush over—for then, they couldn't enter the Gate of Life!

In this tense moment, one of the men suddenly shouted: "Block!"

The other man instinctively reached out to stave off the blow, but at that moment, the previous man suddenly struck a palm against his back.

The man was sent flying, coincidentally blocking the newcomer. Meanwhile, the man who struck the palm avoided the attack, seizing the opportunity to charge into the vortex and instantly disappeared.

As for the man who was slapped, he hadn't expected his ally to betray him, suffering a hidden loss. The attacking individual was strong, and Su Yang also quickly rushed over and pinned him down with little effort.

As for the vortex, it quickly vanished after the prior man entered. Clearly, he likely took the magic artifact for summoning the Gate of Life with him.

It was Zhao Yuanzhou who had stepped in to intercept this man. Skilled in concealment, he had been hiding nearby—not intending to ambush, but accustomed to remaining hidden.

Unexpectedly, these two top-level cultivators had such a backup plan. Fortunately, Zhao Yuanzhou was hidden nearby and timely intervened, otherwise, it's likely both would have escaped.

Su Yang followed suit, also pinning the man underground, leaving only his head exposed.

Meanwhile, the man continued cursing, his target naturally being the companion who previously had ambushed him. That companion, to save his own hide, shoved him out to take the fall, escaping unscathed. Such a thing is unacceptable for anyone!

At this moment, a few others descended from the air.

Black Widow and Ye Wantong were both heavily injured, yet upon landing, their wounds began to visibly heal. They had previously eaten quite a few Yaochi Peaches, thus their bodies accumulated a lot of Turquoise Pool's spiritual energy, making these wounds rather insignificant. In fact, this Turquoise Pool's spiritual energy could be absorbed more rapidly during fierce combat, proving extremely beneficial for them.

Su Yang approached the man, about to ask questions when Lin Mie suddenly stepped up, speaking gravely: "Leave here first."

"Huh?" Su Yang looked at Lin Mie in surprise, knowing that this person rarely spoke, but when he did, it was always critically important.

Lin Mie said no more, and a nearby elder had already approached, speaking solemnly: "Su Alliance Leader, this is the Gate of Life; the opposition has grasped it. If they were able to escape using it, they can assuredly arrive through it too. Our numbers are lesser; should they return in force, it will be troublesome!"

These words jolted Su Yang awake. Indeed, the opposition controlled the Gate of Life. If they could escape, they could just as quickly arrive. If they stayed here, they'd be surrounded once the opposition attacked!

Even though Su Yang had a substantial number of people, the Divine Palace controlled all cultivators in the Human World. Moreover, the Divine Master had subdued a group of demon beasts from the World Melting Furnace. If it came to a fight, Su Yang's side was definitely not a match for the Divine Palace!
