In this short time, only Clear Dream Mosque, Black Ice Sect, Ethereal Immortal Pond, Heaven Star sect remained. But there were five or six sects below 8 stars. The rest were some solo cultivators.

　　For truth realisation state cultivators, only two from Clear Dream Mosque, one from Black Ice sect and Ji Ling remained.

　　“martial sister sect leader, did I do wrong?” seeing so many cultivators leave, Shan Bingfeng was disappointed and asked another Clear Dream Mosque truth realisation state female cultivator.

　　The sect leader smiled “martial sister if you feel it’s right then do it. there’s not right or wrong, only what should be done and what shouldn’t be done. If you feel you should do it, then it’s right. MO Ming feels he shouldn’t do this, he’s not necessarily wrong. Dao cultivator, follows one’s heart.”

　　“thank you for your teachings martial sister, Bingfeng understands.” Shan Bingfeng felt her mind state reach a level higher.

　　She sighed to the rest of the cultivators “those dao friends who wish to stay with me to defend against the flame sea, please stay. If not, Bingfeng won’t think you did something wrong.”

　　“please enlighten us elder Shan, as long as not all hope is lost, we won’t leave. We trust sect leader Shan and elder Shan. We trust city lord Ye would have a way to annihilate the spirit devouring bugs and make it back here in time.” A few cauldron filling states answered but no cultivators left.

　　Most of the cultivators in the cultivation realm were selfish but there were some who were selfless. They knew that the death of South Peace State meant that they would have nowhere to go. Instead of dying at the Heartless Sea, they might as well seek that sliver of chance. Of course, some cultivators remained out of respect and craze for Ye Mo.

　　Shan Bingfeng’s heart warmed. Even in the cultivation realm, there were countless cultivators who were willing to die for others.

　　“Ji qian bei, we’ll set another defense formation here. Martial sister and I and Black Ice sect truth realisation state elder will stay at the back to protect this formation. Ji qian bei and the rest of the cultivators retreat 50 km and set up the last defense formation.”

　　As soon as Shan Bingfeng said this, there was a sudden explosion. The defense formation ahead suddenly exploded. Countless terrifying flames spewed out rushing at the people. Instantly, it crossed half the distance. Before the flames even arrived, some weaker cultivators were feeling dizzy from the heat.

　　“not good, everyone retreat to a safe place, we don’t have time to set up a formation…” Ji Ling called out. He didn’t expect the formation ahead lasted less than half an hour. According to their experience, it would last at least half a day. During that time they could set up another formation.

　　The flames were too fast, body condensation state cultivators and above were fine but those below couldn’t even leave in time.

　　JI Ling grabbed two hollow spirit state cultivators and was about to fly away when he saw a purple sword rays hack over.

　　Thud.

　　The purple sword rays clashed with the flames making a heavy sound. The crazy flames were severed off by the purple sword rays.

　　Only then did people realise that Ye Mo was standing beside the flames. The kitchen knife he used turned into a huge sword that was 3km long and this sword happened to block the opening in the flame sea. then, Ye Mo threw down tens of formation flags soon calming the roaring flame sea.

　　“city lord Ye is here…”

　　At the same time, all the cultivators who escaped death were overjoyed. However, they dazed again. Ye Mo was a truth realisation state cultivator but why could he stand by the fire completely fine?

　　Only then, a blue figure landed amongst them. Qian Wei and Du Xiuying got off Blue Moon.

　　“sect leader Qian Wei, you’re fine?” Ji Ling and Shan Bingfeng asked at the same time.

　　Qian Wei said in embarrassment “luckily city lord Ye came in time and annihilated the spirit devouring bugs saving us. I didn’t help much. City lord Ye annihilated hundreds of millions of sand soul beasts and then a thousand km of spirit devouring bugs. He’s doing the hardwork.”

　　Hearing this, everyone was completely dazed, spirit devouring bugs were no ordinary bugs. Plus since when were there a few hundred million sand soul beasts? But everyone knew Qian Wei wouldn’t lie.

　　Everyone thought Mo Ming was finding an excuse to leave saying there was a thousand km of spirit devouring bugs but now they realiesd it was true.

　　Either of them were unfathomable terrors and yet Ye Mo could annihilate them. Just how absurd was Ye Mo?

　　Shan Bingfeng quickly looked at Ye Mo and saw he walked over slowly. The endless flames were stopped by his kitchen knife and some formation flags.

　　“city lord Ye is indeed unparalleled, even Chu Jiuyu qian bei is probably a little weaker. I believe the South Peace State cultivators won’t forget everything city lord Ye did for us.” One female cultivator greeted him.

　　It was a truth realisation state level nine, her face was beautiful but one couldn’t tell how old she was. A pale aqua nun dress covered her body.

　　It was Clear Dream Mosque nun dress. Ye Mo hadn’t seen her before but he guessed she might be the sect leader Shan Yuyi, Shan Bingfeng’s martial sister. Ye Mo quickly saluted with his fists “Ye Mo greet Clear Dream Mosque Shan qian bei, thank you for staying here to guard the forbidden grounds.”

　　Shan Yuyi smiled.

　　Shan Bingfeng walked over excitedly and grabbed Ye Mo’s hand “Ye Mo I didn’t expect you can sever the flame sea flames with one strike and annihilated thousand km of spirit devouring bugs and the few hundred million sand soul beasts. Thank you, Shan Bingfeng thank you for everything you did for South Peace State.”

　　Ye Mo didn’t expect her to be this excited. She even grabbed his hand.

　　“master, you grabbed city lord Ye’s hand.” Ling Xiaoshuang reminded awkwardly.

　　Shan Bingfeng immediately noticed this and quickly put down her hands. She was still very excited however.

　　“Ye qian bei…”

　　“pill king Ye…”

　　“city lord Ye…”

　　All the cultivators looked and greeted Ye Mo with respect. If South Peace State was gone, they would have no place to stay. Ye Mo saved South Peace State meaning he saved them. They believed Ye Mo could stop the flames.

　　There were more than ten truth realisation state cultivators and tens of disaster transformation state cultivator but they couldn’t stop the flames. When Ye Mo came, he stopped it with one strike. What was more convincing than this?

　　Luckily they didn’t leave. If they did, they wouldn’t have the glory of fighting alongside city lord Ye to annihilate the flame sea forbidden grounds.

　　Some cultivators even seemed very prideful, they were waiting for Ye Mo to seal the flames and then use crystal balls to record that they were here.

　　Ye Mo was confused why there were so little cultivators but he still greeted. Yan Guan was also overjoyed. When he saw Ye Mo come, he knew it was right of him to stay.

　　Then, Ethereal Immortal Pond Hou Fei goddess and Heaven Star sect Ji Shuye also came to greet Ye Mo.

　　Then, Ye Mo asked in confusion “why are there only this little people? Where are the rest?”

　　Ling Xiaoshuang sneered “those timid people. My master said to stay here for 15 days but they heard about the thousand km spirit devouring bugs and how JIn gang temple were all devoured by them. Then, they all wanted to leave South Peace State and hide into the Heartless Sea. only my master disagreed and stayed. The cultivators who stayed here feel the same. Other than us, there are countless lives in South Peace State. my master said we can’t just leave irresponsibly.”

　　The rest of the cultivators felt Ling Xiaoshuang spoke their heart.
