Chapter 546: Chapter 546: Besieged on All Sides
Everyone had already realized that the path they had taken was extremely dangerous, but there was no other choice, the half-treasure cultivation method was too valuable!

The Towards Heaven Sect must get it!

Whoever tries to snatch it, dies!

With two Great Achievement beginners presiding, they can’t help but believe they could kill any opponents!

However, while the idea looks good on paper, the reality is much stiffer.

They had just encountered the first ambush attack and already lost seven or eight people out of just over thirty!

“Be very careful.”

No sooner had the leading Great Achievement novice finished speaking and prepared to leave than a sword light appeared from nowhere.

The fierce power of the sword light was so terrifying that the Great Achievement beginner’s eyes widened!

This was equal to his own full blow!

Right away, the two Great Achievement beginners from Towards Heaven Sect joined forces to block this sword light.

Although it didn’t cause any losses, it was enough to prove how dangerous the journey was.

“Give me the treasure, and you guys take another path. I’ll go alone!”

At this moment, the leading Great Achievement beginner thought of splitting their forces.

As soon as the idea was proposed, everyone agreed instantly. After all, it was too risky for so many people to travel together; if they were cornered, they would be finished.

But the Great Achievement beginner was fast and strong, making it hard to be detected when alone.

Several people glanced at each other, then one of them handed over a storage ring. The Great Achievement beginner took off in another direction, and the rest dispersed and fled in all directions.

This wasn’t just splitting their forces in two anymore, but into several teams.

But it was guaranteed that not everyone would make it back.

They didn’t know if this method worked or if their pursuers from behind didn’t plan on taking action at this time.

After the Towards Heaven Sect’s team dispersed and fled, everything was quiet!

No one had any problems, and there were no ambushes on the road. If things kept going like this, they could easily return to the Towards Heaven Sect.

But the problem was, no one wanted to see that happen!

In the dark night, countless hidden corners flashed with greedy eyes.

What had to happen, finally did.

When those members of the Towards Heaven Sect scattered and fled, about to enter the sacred city area, virtually all of them were ambushed at the same time!

This was within their expectations as these were their obligatory paths.

The hand losses of the Towards Heaven Sect were heavy. Apart from the peak stage after crossing the calamity, nearly everyone else was dead!

But until now, the Great Achievement beginner who took the treasure hadn’t run into any trouble.

Yet the night was still quiet.

Finally, as the remaining members successfully evaded numerous killers and entered the sacred city area, greater trouble was waiting for them because nearly all the powers in the sacred city knew that the Towards Heaven Sect had obtained the second half of the cultivation method!

Who wouldn’t want to become stronger?

Who wouldn’t want their faction to be more powerful?

So before these people returned to Towards Heaven Sect, the whole sacred city was their enemy!

But everyone dared not act openly. After all, if they started a fight in this place, wouldn’t the Towards Heaven Sect know?

That was one of the strongest existences in the central region.

But while they couldn’t act openly, it was fine to act in secret. The question was, how to start!

As the saying goes, it’s easy to avoid the open spear but hard to guard against the hidden arrow. Stealth attacks were the most terrifying.

However, those traps set by the experts of Towards Heaven Sect were very well hidden. Everyone knew they were in the sacred city, but did not know where exactly, as the sacred city was vast.

And more experts from Towards Heaven Sect would surely come to meet them.

This caused many minor forces to give up directly, but there were also forces that were eligible to compete with Towards Heaven Sect pursuing them in secret, making preparations for a surprise attack.

Finally, after a night of tossing and turning, it was dawn.

The whole sacred city was bustling, but few people knew what had happened in the sacred city area last night.

Only occasionally, one could see some corpses on the streets.

But everyone thought it was normal as it wouldn’t be the sacred city if there were no deaths in a day.

And in secret, after a night of besieging, only two Great Achievement beginners from Towards Heaven Sect were left. And they couldn’t afford to split their forces so they had to stick together.

This way, it would be a bit safer.

While the beginners of the Great Achievement were already considered top-notch strongmen, this was the sacred city!

Beginners of the Great Achievement were not invincible here!

“Damn it, going on like this is no solution, we’re only half a day away from the sect, but my guess is we’ll be done before we reach the sect!”

In a corner, two hidden Great Achievement beginners were whispering.

“So what now, ask the sect’s strongmen to come over? The entire Towards Heaven Sect only has two of us and the sect master at the beginner Great Achievement level; surely he can’t come over as the sect master!”

“If he comes, the other sect masters will set off immediately, which will evolve into a full-scale war, even involving the Towards Heaven Sect!”

The two argued for a while but couldn’t come up with a solution.

Although they were powerful, they couldn’t act recklessly because they were strong. Naturally, their enemies would be prepared and more numerous, and they couldn’t withstand them if they all attacked at once.

Furthermore, at the beginning of last night, a master of the Great Achievement realm had already exposed himself.

There were at least three Great Achievement masters secretly chasing after them, and maybe even more!

Just as the two were at a loss, suddenly a long sword rose from under the ground, trying to pierce one of them right through the heart!

Luckily, the Great Achievement beginner reacted extremely quickly and easily dodged even this sneak attack.

But after the failed strike, a similar sneaky attack method never appeared again.

“Damn it! Who the hell is doing this from under the ground?” exclaimed the Great Achievement beginner, gritting his teeth.

From last night to now, he had experienced such sneaky attacks at least a dozen times. If he hadn’t been so powerfully responsive, he would have died from these strange sneak attacks.

“We can’t wait any longer; we have to force our way through and back!”

After experiencing a few such attacks, the two decided to break free and sprint back!

With their speed, they could reach the sect in less than half an hour!

Then, suddenly, two figures appeared in mid-air, swiftly heading towards the Towards Heaven Sect.

Seeing this, the hidden masters in the dark couldn’t help but sneer.

“What a joke! They really think they can escape like this? Do they think we don’t have any Great Achievement masters?”

Not long after the two figures flew out, five figures appeared in the sky and quickly chased after them.

Feeling pursued, the two fleeing were stunned.

Were they being chased by five Great Achievement beginners?

But it was too late for hesitation. They just needed to hold on for half an hour!

But it was a life-and-death situation, and as expected, something unexpected happened.

When the two were fleeing at full speed, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of them.

Then a golden tower the size of a palm came crashing down at them!
