Chapter 1717: 1717
Of the twenty cultivators controlled by the Otherworldly Demons, there was a young lady who boasted a seductive figure . Even though she was in a slightly unkempt state, she still commanded a charm that made it difficult for one to tear away one's eyes from her . She was a student that Zhang Xuan had taken in back at the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, the head of the Bewitching Devil Faction, Hu Yaoyao!
Back then, Hu Yaoyao had been taken to the headquarters of the Terpsichore Guild and inherited the highest heritage of the predecessors . Within a short span of a few months, she had astonishingly managed to raise her cultivation up to Saint 9-dan pinnacle, just a step away from reaching the Introspective Convalescence realm .
Of course, part of it could be credited to Zhang Xuan's guidance back then, but more than that, her diligence and talent had definitely played a huge role as well . At the same time, it seemed like the Terpsichore Guild headquarters had held back no resources at all in grooming her .
Her current strength was already more than enough to make her an authoritative figure within a major power, but in this ancient domain, which was filled with the top-notch experts, her strength was rather lacking . As the cold wind blew from the horizon, she trembled under the frost . Her face had turned rather flushed under the effects of the coldness, but it seemed like she was still coping for the time being .
There were no visible injuries on her, but her spirit seemed to be a little withered .
The cultivation of those around her was not too high either . Over ten of them were only at Saint 9-dan, and the rest were at the Introspective Convalescence realm . Given so, it was no wonder that they were helpless before the prowess of three Sempiternal realm Otherworldly Demons .
Even though Zhang Xuan had seen a familiar face, he did not rush into making a move . Instead, he sealed the space around him and discreetly followed behind the group .
Three Sempiternal realm primary stage Otherworldly Demons did not pose a threat to him at all . He could easily kill them whenever he wanted to . However, he felt that it was more important for him to uncover the intentions of the Otherworldly Demons .
After traveling for around ten minutes, a glistening frosted layer of ice came into sight .
"Hurry up!"
Following which, he saw several other groups of humans being led over as well . All in all, there were around a hundred humans gathered in the area, and they were all from different occupations .
At the very center of the icefield was a circular altar with all sorts of formation flags erected around it .
An Otherworldly Demon dressed in black armor stood by the altar as he ordered three Otherworldly Demons to inscribe formation marks on the ground .
"Bring the hostages here!" he commanded with a grand wave of his hand .
The Otherworldly Demons hurriedly positioned the human hostages in a circle around the altar . At the same time, Zhang Xuan noticed a thin thread wrapped around the wrists of the human hostages, completely sealing their cultivation .
Are they intending to tribute these human hostages to that god of theirs? Zhang Xuan thought as his face darkened .
He had seen this altar many times in the past . The Kings of the Qingtian Lineage had used it several times to offer tribute to the Spirit God in exchange for power . However, treasures had been used as tributes back then . For them to kidnap these humans… were they planning to use these live humans as sacrifices?
However, what did they hope to obtain by sacrificing these humans to that god of theirs?
Were they intending to use these tributes to find the exit in this snow dimension?
But if it's just to find the exit, there's no need for them to go to such lengths! Zhang Xuan swiftly refuted that hypothesis with a deep frown .
Having cleared the forest dimension and desert dimension, he already had some experience with looking for the exits . As long as one traveled to the crux of the dimension, it was not too difficult to find the exit .
There was no reason for them to tribute the lives of so many people in order to find the exit!
The main purpose of the Otherworldly Demons entering the ancient domain was to acquire the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn . Considering how they had not even confirmed the location of the Temple of Confucius yet, it did not seem wise for them to conduct such slaughter at this point in time . It could very well draw the hostility of all parties within the ancient domain onto them prematurely .
No matter what the purpose of the Otherworldly Demons is, saving that group should be my first move…
Since Zhang Xuan had witnessed such a sight, he could not possibly allow them to die before his eyes . Furthermore, his student, Hu Yaoyao, was among the crowd .
Scanning the fighting prowess of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe gathered in the area swiftly, there were thirteen of them in the Sempiternal realm, twenty at the Intuitive Impulse realm, and the rest were in the Aureate Body and Introspective Convalescence realms . All in all, they numbered less than fifty people .
Such a force posed no threat to Zhang Xuan at all . He could easily slaughter all of them with ease . Even the strongest individual among them, the black-armored Otherworldly Demon, was only at Sempiternal realm advanced stage, a long way off from matching him .
The thin thread that is used to seal the crowd's cultivation is likely a Great Sage artifact . If I launch an attack recklessly, the Otherworldly Demons might trigger the Great Sage artifact out of rage and kill Hu Yaoyao and the others on the spot! Zhang Xuan thought, furrowing his brows .

Even without relying on the prowess of the Five Monarchs, he would still be able to defeat them with ease given his current fighting prowess . However, if he pushed the Otherworldly Demons too far, there was a chance that the Otherworldly Demons might choose to kill all of the hostages out of desperation .
