Bang!
Accompanied by a loud sound, the entire main tent was instantly crushed into pieces by the giant stone statue. Debris flew everywhere, and even the ground caved in.
Shi Lei looked at the caved in ground and revealed a proud smile. "After being smashed by my giant stone statue, even a martial master would be injured if not dead."
Mu Sen also smiled and nodded. "After being ambushed by so many of us, as long as the person inside is not a martial master of King Wu, there is no chance of survival!"
Just as Mu Sen finished speaking, the smile on his face froze.
Everyone else's faces were also instantly filled with shock and bewilderment.
Because behind the giant stone statue, the caved in ground was actually empty.
There was no one in the tent at all!
At that moment, everyone's mind flashed at the same time. They had fallen into a trap!
Shi Lei hurriedly turned his head and shouted, "Commander Zhang, we have fallen..."
Before he could finish speaking, he directly choked.
This was because he was shocked to find that Zhang Shijie, who had been gesturing at the back and commanding them, had disappeared without a trace!
Everyone else was also completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
"Where is Commander Zhang? Where did he run off to? "Mu Sen asked in confusion.
Shi Lei immediately reacted. "There is something fishy here, let's quickly retreat!"
"Yes, let's quickly retreat!"
Everyone unanimously agreed to retreat, but before they could move, a giant light array with a diameter of more than ten meters suddenly lit up the ground under their feet.
Everyone only felt their bodies stiffen, and instantly fell into a state of paralysis, unable to move an inch.
"What... What's going on?"
"Damn it, I can't move!"
"Oh no! This is a paralysis array, we have fallen into a trap! "
The moment everyone was trapped by the light array, hundreds of men in black holding machetes swarmed out from the surrounding tents, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded everyone.
This group of men in black had obviously been lying in ambush, waiting for everyone to walk into the trap.
This was obviously a trap that had been prepared beforehand!
"Hahahaha!"
A burst of wild laughter came from afar.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and their eyes immediately flashed with a trace of shock.
Zhang Shijie, who had been commanding everyone earlier, now reappeared in front of everyone. His face was vicious and sinister, as if he had become a completely different person.
All the black-robed men at the scene followed his lead.
Seeing this scene, everyone instantly understood. It turned out that the commander of the West Prefecture City Guards was the leader of this group of bandits.
"Zhang Shijie, so everything was a trap!" Shi Lei roared furiously at Zhang Shijie.
Mu Sen still found it hard to believe his eyes. "Zhang Shijie, I really didn't expect you to be the leader of these bandits!"
"You're wrong. I'm not the leader. I'm the deputy leader." Just as Zhang Shijie finished speaking, an even stronger aura assaulted them.
A stooped old man in a black robe slowly walked out of the darkness with a black skeletal staff in his hand.
This old man was over sixty years old. His face was full of wrinkles and there was a skull totem carved on it. He looked neither good nor evil.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock when they saw the old man. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Marquis of Western Prefecture! You … why are you here? "
"No … it can't be? Don't tell me that the leader of these bandits … is you, Marquis of Western Prefecture? "
Everyone could not believe their eyes. The Marquis of Western Prefecture, one of the eight marquises of Southern Summer, was actually the leader of these bandits!
This was simply too unbelievable and unimaginable!
No matter how they thought about it, they could not understand why the powerful Marquis of Western Prefecture would become the leader of these bandits.
With the Marquis of Western Prefecture's identity and status, whether it was wealth, power, or resources, he could easily obtain them all. What reason did he have to run to become the leader of these bandits?
And what was even more ridiculous was that he actually did not hesitate to spend a large amount of money to recruit a large number of martial arts experts to attack his own stronghold. Wasn't this just too much to do?
Facing the angry and confused gazes of the crowd, the Marquis of Western Prefecture's expression did not change. He directly ignored the crowd and asked Zhang Shijie, "Where did the other young man go?"
"He had stage fright and got cold feet," Zhang Shijie replied respectfully.
The Marquis of Western Prefecture frowned slightly, "Are you sure he just had stage fright and did not find any clues?"
Zhang Shijie patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, Marquis. Our plan is watertight, and it is impossible to find any clues."
The Marquis of Western Prefecture's eyes narrowed into slits, and a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes, "It is better to be safe than sorry. If this matter is exposed, both you and I will be doomed. That person cannot be left alive. Hurry up and capture him for me! "
"Understood." Zhang Shijie cupped his fists, then turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the darkness.
At this moment, it was too late for everyone to regret. Why did they not listen to the young man's warning?
If they had listened to the young man's warning, things would not have turned out like this.
"Marquis of Western Prefecture, we have no enmity with you, why do you want to harm us!" Shi Lei roared hysterically at the Marquis of Western Prefecture.
Everyone could not understand. They had no enmity with the Marquis of Western Prefecture, nor did they have any conflict of interest. What motive did the Marquis of Western Prefecture have to harm them?
The Marquis of Western Prefecture said with a sinister expression, "You do not need to know the reason. You only need to know that you will all die tonight!"
After the Marquis of Western Prefecture finished speaking, he turned around indifferently, his hunched back submerged in the darkness.
"Take them all away!"
… …
Under the deep, dark night sky.
Lin Yun sat alone on the cliff. Using the bright moonlight, he watched the scene unfold at the bottom of the cliff, as if he was enjoying a good show.
The moment he saw the tents, Lin Yun found something strange.
There were obvious traces of a formation around the main tent.
In fact, the first time he saw the Marquis of Western Prefecture, Lin Yun felt an unusual bloodthirsty aura from him.
Before this, Lin Yun had heard from the Country Guarding Lord that the bandits cultivated some unknown demonic art, and their battle strength far surpassed martial artists of the same level.
And the bloodthirsty aura from the Marquis of Western Prefecture was something that could only be obtained by cultivating demonic arts.
Therefore, from the first time he saw the Marquis of Western Prefecture, Lin Yun began to be suspicious.
And after discovering the formation in the stronghold, Lin Yun was even more certain that this was a trap.
Understanding everything, Lin Yun had already hinted to the crowd to retreat. But the crowd did not believe him at all, and even mocked and ridiculed him, so Lin Yun could only withdraw himself.
Of course, if Lin Yun really wanted to make a move, a mere paralysis formation would not be able to trap him at all.
It was just that the Demonic Sect's henchmen behind the scenes had not appeared yet, so Lin Yun could not show his strength, lest he alert the enemy and let the Demonic Sect's henchmen escape.
Therefore, Lin Yun directly withdrew from the operation, and used the group of ignorant martial artists as bait, throwing them out to draw the snake out of its hole.
The Marquis of Western Prefecture had spent so much effort to capture this group of martial artists, so there must be an unknown purpose.
