This couldn't be a coincidence!
No one present was a fool. More than half of the teleportation points had been destroyed in just two hours, and it was right when they were about to set off. This was already very suspicious. Coupled with the fact that the remaining eight teleportation points were so ingenious, anyone with a brain could see that there was something fishy about this matter.
Ye Wenyan seemed to understand everything. He calmly stretched out a finger and connected the eight transfer points. He drew a circle and said, "Look closely. Isn't this like catching a turtle in a jar?"
Ye Wenjun looked incredulous. "Catching a turtle in a jar? Did the Illusion God Sect set up a trap and treat us like turtles? "Then he snorted." Who gave them the courage? The Jiuhua Alliance has ten thousand years of history. Even the Holy Temple of Eight Directions wouldn't dare do something like this. They're just a new sect. "
Ye Wenyan glanced at him and said softly, "Times are different now. The Illusion God Sect is no longer the Illusion God Sect of the past. They have Saul now."
Lu Xuan heard this and said solemnly, "Are you saying that the Illusion God Sect has made an agreement with Saul? Or that Saul has taken control of the Illusion God Sect?"
Ye Wenyan nodded. "Most likely."
Lu Xuan frowned. "Then what should we do? We are in the light, while the Illusionary God Sect is in the dark. Right now, thirty thousand of our soldiers have gone over. No matter what, we cannot abandon them. Otherwise, under the schemes of Saul and the Illusionary God Sect, they will definitely die. We have no choice but to enter this trap. "
"What are we afraid of?" Ye Wenjun stood up. "The Illusion God Sect may not be stronger than the beast tide. We have three hundred thousand warriors. Do you think we can't defeat them? As for Saul, this isn't the first time he's lost to us. "
"What I'm afraid of is that … the Illusion God Sect, or Saul, has a backup plan." Ye Wenyan let out a long sigh. "But what you say makes sense. Now that things have come to this, the arrow is already nocked on the bowstring. We have no choice but to release it. Even if we know it's a trap, we have no choice but to fall into it. In the end, it's a contest of strength. In any case, we've long since made preparations to fight to the death."
At this point, Ye Wenyan paused and looked at the others. "Since the Illusion God Faction schemed against us first, then we have to change our strategy. We originally planned to reason things out with the Illusion God Faction, but it seems like it's no longer necessary. Wenjun, Wuhen, Xuan, you guys head to the teleportation array and head to the Illusion God Faction. You must stabilize the situation first. Before the situation is clear, don't act rashly. I'll head there immediately after the situation in Jiuhua City is settled."
Ye Wuhen nodded heavily. "I know. But you don't have to go. Just leave it to us. We can only be at ease with you at the rear. From the Illusion God Faction's actions, it's obvious that they have spies in the Jiuhua Alliance. I'm worried that they're trying to lure us away from our territory. "
This time, Ye Wenyan shook his head lightly. "I'm not at ease. I have a feeling that this matter is more serious than I thought. Also, you underestimate the power of the Jiuhua Alliance. Jiuhua City isn't a place where just anyone can come and cause trouble. You guys go first. I'll deal with it myself. "
Seeing that she couldn't convince Ye Wenyan, Ye Wuhen didn't say anything else. She knew that in terms of ability and vision, she couldn't compare to Ye Wenyan. Whatever Ye Wenyan did, he must have his reasons.
Since they'd made their decision, there was no need to delay any longer. After all, no one knew what the Illusion God Faction was doing. The six members of the Ye family and Ling Jin stood up at the same time and rushed to the teleportation array. No one was left behind. If they encountered Saul, only the seven of them could stand a chance.
Of course, that referred to Saul during the Beast Tide. Now, no one knew if Saul hadn't recovered from his serious injuries, or if he'd recovered more of his strength. The sudden turn of events cast a dark cloud over everyone's hearts.
Coincidentally, when Lu Xuan and the others arrived at the teleportation array, it was the Hundred Blossom Division's turn to set off. Shen Rong, the Lord of Hundred Blossom City, was the division leader, and Mo Dechen was the vanguard.
Thus, Lu Xuan and the others were mixed in with the Hundred Blossom Division. Although they were going to the Illusion God Faction together, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Old friends couldn't help but catch up.
"Time flies. It seems like it was only yesterday that I challenged you at the Wind Sword School," Mo Dechen said with a smile. After staying in Hundred Blossom City for so many years, he wasn't as quiet as he used to be.
Lu Xuan also said with some nostalgia, "Yes, we, the Seven Wind Sword Scions, were amazing back then. That's right, Lin Tian and the others are also going out, but they've been assigned to the Nine Eastern Alliance's direct division. I wonder if we'll be able to see them later. "
"Haha, I haven't seen them in a long time. My hands are itching to talk about it, but it's impossible to spar now. Later, we can compete to see who gets the most credit." Mo Dechen touched the spear on his back and couldn't help but laugh.
"Then you have to work harder. Although you've learned from Lord Shen, they've improved a lot. You're at the middle stage of the Origin Realm, but they aren't bad either."
Mo Dechen shook his head lightly, "We're all about the same. Only you, you're so far ahead of us. It's hard to catch up to you."
Lu Xuan smirked and said, "I was just a little lucky. Every single time I got my strength, I barely escaped death. But speaking of close shave … this time, it's more serious than we thought. "
Mo Dechen said curiously, "Aren't we forcing the Illusion God Sect to hand over the Soul Race survivors? The Illusion God Sect may be a fifth-grade sect, but compared to us, they're still lacking. "
"Things have changed, but we don't know the specifics yet. That's why we're rushing over. Once the war breaks out on a large scale … take care. I hope we can drink again after the war. I don't want to lose a good friend." Lu Xuan patted Mo Dechen's shoulder.
"You too. With great power comes great responsibility. The danger you'll face will definitely be more intense than mine." Mo Dechen looked into Lu Xuan's eyes and put his hand on Lu Xuan's, "Take care."
The two of them said goodbye to each other and stood on the teleportation formation. As the formation activated, the lines of yuan qi were activated one by one. A resplendent rainbow light lit up and finally turned into a beam of white light. Everyone disappeared at the same time. The martial practitioners in charge of the teleportation formation began to methodically replace the yuan stones and check if the teleportation formation was in good condition. They prepared for the next teleportation.
After a moment of slight dizziness, Lu Xuan gradually recovered his vision. He could see everything in front of him clearly. The scene of Illusion God Sect's attack did not appear as he had imagined. He let out a small sigh of relief. It seemed that the battle had not started yet. Perhaps Illusion God Sect was still waiting and had not made a move.
This was an underground cave. Countless torches lit up the entire cave and passageway. Every dozen or so steps, there was a martial practitioner holding a weapon standing guard. They were the members of the Dark Shadow Hall in charge of this stronghold. Lu Xuan was not unfamiliar with the Dark Shadow Hall. Lu Xuan respected every single one of them.
"Are you the Hundred Blossom Battalion?"
"Yes! I am the division leader, Shen Rong. "
"Greetings, Division Leader Shen. This one is Zhang Bin of the Dark Shadow Hall. I ask Division Leader Shen to lead your battalion to the surface along this passageway and make room for the brothers who are coming later."
"Thank you."
"Division Leader Shen is too polite. Someone, lead the way for the Hundred Blossom Battalion."
Mo Dechen and Lu Xuan looked at each other and nodded. Then, they left with Shen Rong. At this time, after the Dark Shadow Hall had arranged the Hundred Blossom Battalion, Ye Wuheng walked up and found the person in charge of the stronghold.
"I am Ye Wuheng. Thank you for your hard work, brothers." Ye Wuheng walked up and cupped her hands at Zhang Bin with a smile.
