Chu Yunfan immediately realized that this was a trap, a trap to lure Chu Yunfan out.
This was also why You Chuyun and Chu Hongcai hadn't been completely annihilated despite being surrounded.
Otherwise, this was the Xia Empire's territory. Who knew how many experts there were in the surroundings? Forget about Chu Yunfan, just the Yao-Suppressing City alone had countless top-notch experts, and there were even quite a few Manifestation realm experts.
Once news of this reached the Yao-Suppressing City, it would only take the slightest bit of effort to kill all the invaders, no matter how many there were.
That was why these invaders had always fought quick battles, trying to eliminate their opponents in the shortest amount of time possible.
This time, however, they were completely different. They surrounded Chu Hongcai and didn't retreat even after several days had passed. They were waiting for Chu Yunfan's return.
Chu Yunfan had no choice but to step into this Hongmen Banquet!
After all, Baotai City was protected by layers of barriers. Even if several Manifestation realm experts launched a surprise attack at the same time, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything to Chu Yunfan.
After all, Baotai City had once been a border city. The barriers and formations in the city were quite impressive, and it had faced the human and yao wars head-on.
Because of this, the enemy knew that ordinary methods wouldn't work against Chu Yunfan, so they had to rely on this method to force Chu Yunfan out.
"Did they not send a request for help to Yao-Suppressing City or the Ministry of Military Personnel?" Chu Yunfan frowned slightly. Although You Chuyun was his right-hand man, there should still be a large number of disciples from the Flying Celestial Sect in the army at the moment, and there should be no lack of outstanding elite disciples among them.
These people were the cream of the crop in the Soaring Immortal Sect, yet they couldn't even make such a simple decision. This was far too disappointing.
"The commandants have already sent people to the Ministry of War and Suppressing Demon City to ask for help. They have even sent people to the nearby cities to ask for help. However, all of their messages have sunk into the sea. Until now, we have not received a single reply!" The officer glanced at Chu Yunfan and said. "Therefore, the commandants have determined that someone is ambushing us. That's why the messengers we sent out are unable to deliver the message normally!"
When Chu Yunfan heard this, he couldn't help but gasp despite his calm state of mind.
What a terrifying thing this was!
One should know that Bao Tai City could be said to be very large, and messengers sent from Bao Tai City could be said to be able to go in all directions.
The messengers were all martial arts masters. It could be said that it was very easy to leave quietly.
But now, all the news had been intercepted. Even the messengers sent to the Ministry of War in the Imperial Capital had been intercepted.
Otherwise, Chu Yunfan, who was in the Imperial Capital at that time, should have received the news, let alone delayed until now.
He could almost feel that a shocking big net was falling on him, trying to catch him, a big fish.
"How generous!"
Chu Yunfan couldn't help but gasp.
To be able to completely isolate the news of the Bao Tai City, how great of a power did they have to be? One could say that they could cover the sky with a single hand. In fact, Chu Yunfan even suspected that there were people in the Grand Xia Empire who were colluding with these people.
Otherwise, the messengers sent to the Ministry of War in the Imperial Capital would not have sunk into the sea.
The Suppressing Demon City was not far away, but in the end, they couldn't sense it at all. He dared not imagine how much manpower and material resources were needed.
And the target of such an inescapable net was Chu Yunfan.
At this moment, Chu Yunfan didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. He had actually received so much attention that they had to arrange such a method to deal with him.
But he understood that the other party had grasped his weakness, so he had no choice but to go!
This time, he clearly knew that it was a Hongmen Banquet, but he still had to go, because he couldn't watch Chu Hongcai and You Chuyun die in the hands of others.
"Hehe, what a grand scheme! Who knows how many demons, devils, ghosts, and monsters are colluding with each other behind the scenes!"
Chu Yunfan smiled coldly.
"General, you absolutely can't go. With your strength, you can definitely break out of the encirclement and send the news out. At that time, you can attract the Suppressing Demon City's army to wipe out these clowns!"
The officer saw that Chu Yunfan looked like he wanted to go, and immediately hurriedly said.
At this time, Chu Yunfan was like a military god in the Zhenyuan army. The earliest group of people who had followed Chu Yunfan had now obtained great benefits.
He had led them from one victory to another, so they absolutely didn't want to see anything happen to Chu Yunfan.
"It's useless. If I break out of the encirclement and send the news, I can certainly deliver it, but at that time, they can immediately kill me and flee thousands of miles away. By the time the Suppressing Demon City's army arrives, I'm afraid it'll be too late!"
Chu Yunfan shook his head. He could almost imagine the consequences if he broke out of the encirclement and sent the news.
You Chuyun and Chu Hongcai were like two ants in the enemy's hands. The other party didn't kill them on the spot because they wanted to draw out Chu Yunfan.
But if Chu Yunfan showed that he wasn't tempted, they would probably immediately kill him.
"But this is clearly a Hongmen Banquet. I'm afraid that a large number of experts have already been lying in ambush there!" The officer couldn't help but become anxious. "Lord General, why don't we all set out!"
"It's useless. I reckon that the other party probably has more than one or two top experts. Even if the Zhenyuan army goes, it'll be useless!" Chu Yunfan shook his head. The Zhenyuan army was a rare elite force in the army. Dealing with ordinary experts was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
But the other party couldn't have not thought of this. Whether it was Chu Hongcai or You Chuyun, they were easily defeated and surrounded. It was conceivable that the other party must have extremely powerful experts overseeing them.
After all, this was the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty. They couldn't also lead an army to sneak in. That would be truly suicidal.
Only a large number of top experts could sneak in in batches.
"But that's too dangerous!" The officer couldn't help but advise.
"Don't worry, they are very powerful, but I'm not to be trifled with!" Chu Yunfan looked into the distance, his eyes extremely cold. "I don't care what kind of monsters they are, I'm going to wipe them all out this time!
"Help me contact the people from the Myriad Treasure Pavilion. I want to buy medicinal ingredients, the sooner the better!"
Chu Yunfan forced himself to calm down.
"No matter who you are, I'll make sure you die without a burial place!"
