Zhiling City was located on open plains with an inner city and outer city.
The inner city was relatively small. Most of the Empire's governing bodies, represented by the City Lord's office, were set up in the inner city. At the same time, most of Zhiling City's nobles and officials lived there. They were separated from the outer city by the towering city walls. For the ordinary people of the continent, and even many xiuzhe, the inner city was another world.
The Council was an important organization of the Xuan Army Empire that supervised the academies, and was also set up in the inner city. Venus, Senhai, and Song Ping, the three commanders of the Council, led sixty inspectors, almost half the strength of the Council in the Zhiling District. They were careful along the way as they escorted the injured Siffin. They only slowly relaxed when the towering walls of the inner city came into view. They only needed to pass through three more streets to enter the inner city. The inner city was not a place where anyone could casually cause trouble.
They were nearing the inner city at this time. The next three streets were filled with mansions. There were always very few people who had the right to live in the inner city. Therefore, the outer city streets near the inner city became a prime location slightly inferior to the inner city. Many people who did not have the right to enter the inner city, but had some power, settled themselves in these areas. Over time, these streets became the upper class areas of the outer city.
Guo Youdao, Wen Yan, and the other two had reached this street first. While waiting for the Council, Guo Youdao explained his plan.
"The closer we are to the inner city, the easier it is for them to relax. Therefore, we will choose this last street to act.
"Student Shi Ao, your superpower, Sonorous Wings, is an offensive type. You will attract the enemy's attention with a feint.
"Student Shujihira's superpower, Frightening Bones, is very rare and can disrupt multiple targets. After Shi Ao attracts the enemy's attention, they will definitely increase their defenses against Siffin. At this time, you will use Frightening Bones to create an opening. "
In the end, Guo Youdao looked at Wen Yan with a serious expression.
"Here's the main point." He said, "Wen Yan's superpower, long-range vision, is not very useful in this plan. If it can help you observe the route earlier, then you can use it freely. We need it. It's your speed! The Charge Soul is the fastest of the Six Physical Forms, and your current usage of the Charge Soul is more of a support type, which is very suitable. Let your Force Spirit receive the support of the Charge Spirit, and you might even accidentally reach the speed of light. "
"How can it be so easy …" Wen Yan didn't gain any confidence because of these words. Because she already knew this theory. However, no one had ever been able to control the Rush Soul to the point where it could move at the speed of light. Her speed wasn't bad, but compared to the academy's Qiao Cheng and Lu Ping, she was still far behind. At this moment, her speed had become an important factor, which made her very nervous.
Apart from that …
"President Guo … if that's the case, is it still considered 'stealing'? Isn't this a 'robbery'? "Xiu Zhiping asked.
"With your abilities, this is as far as you can go," Guo Youdao said.
"How are we going to escape after this? For example, attacking Shi Ao to attract attention. "Shujihira said.
"This … you'll have to rely on your intelligence to solve this. I'll be in charge of receiving Wen Yan and bringing Siffin away. You guys have to take care of yourselves, "Guo Youdao said.
Shujihira took a deep breath. At this moment, he, who always abided by the rules, also had the urge to punch this old man. It turned out that his plan, in the end, didn't have any special protection for the three of them. The only goal seemed to be to save Siffin?
This old man, in order to save his own student, would he dare to make use of the three of them even more obviously?
"Don't always think about failure. Help your friends, bring out your faith and courage!" Guo Youdao said.
"Yes!" Shi Ao clenched his fist, his blood was already boiling. Wen Yan also took a deep breath, looking like she was determined to go all out.
"Are you ready?" Guo Youdao said.
"Yes!" The two of them nodded.
"What about you?" Guo Youdao looked at the silent Shujihira.
"I object." Shujihira said.
"Why?" Wen Yan and Shi Ao jumped up before Guo Youdao could say anything.
"This plan. The chances of rescuing Siffin are quite high, but then what? Won't the three of us be caught by the Board instead? "Shujihira said.
"So what if they catch him? What can they do to us?" Wen Yan said.
What could they do?
Shujihira thought carefully. Yes, what could the Board do to the three of them? They weren't what the Board wanted at all. The three of them weren't like Lu Ping and the others who came from the Canyon Peak District. They had no background here at all. However, their instructors, Yun Chong and Shen He, were people of great status in Zhiling City, or even the entire Zhiling quadrant. If they wanted to live in the inner city. That wouldn't be a problem at all. But Yun Chong wanted to take care of Chu Min who'd been dispirited for more than ten years, and Shen He wanted to stay in the University because of his eccentric personality. Their vice dean, Xia Bojian, lived in the inner city.
Had the old man already thought of all this? Shujihira thought, but he still retained a skeptical attitude towards Guo Youdao. Guo Youdao spoke up at this time, "I just said don't always think about failure. Both of your abilities give you the advantage of distance. You move quickly and work well together. You'll have enough time to escape. I'll help Student Wen Yan create an opening for her as well. "
"Eh …" Shujihira thought again. These words weren't without reason. Had he been too paranoid and maliciously trying to figure out Dean Zhaifeng's thoughts?
"Do you have any more questions?" Guo Youdao asked.
"… No." Shujihira hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind.
Very quickly, their positions were assigned. The operation revolved around Wen Yan. Shi Ao would make the first move, Shujihira would create an opening, and finally, Wen Yan would make the first move and Guo Youdao would provide support.
"I'll give the instructions. But if you feel that the timing is right, you can make your move without my instructions." Guo Youdao instructed.
"Understood." The three of them nodded.
"Then let's get ready!"
The people from the Council were already walking over, and the four of them quickly got into position. In this upper-class district, the vendors were all well-behaved and had their own shops. There were absolutely no stalls or carts like the ones in the market. The streets were clean and tidy, but at the same time, it seemed a little deserted. The people from the Council were quite lively. Just as Guo Youdao had expected, the closer they got to the inner city, the more relaxed they became. At this time, many of them were whispering to each other, but their voices were not loud. The death of the third commander, Dong Cheng, had made them feel a little depressed, and no one could laugh.
Just like that, they finally walked into the area where Guo Youdao had deployed his troops.
Guo Youdao had been paying attention to the three students from Amaterasu College. He noticed that other than Shujihira's serious expression, Wen Yan and Shi Ao looked a little nervous about going against the Council, but more excited and expectant.
They were still kids after all!
Guo Youdao smiled. Seeing that Shi Ao was also looking at him, he nodded and raised five fingers.
Four, three, two, one …
Guo Youdao retracted his last finger, clenched his fist, and swung it. Shi Ao, who had just finished preparing his special ability, immediately dashed out from the corner of the street.
Mighty Sound Wings!
Shi Ao supported himself with his arms, opened his mouth, and let out an eagle's cry. The sound waves rippled in the air, and rushed towards the Council's team from an oblique angle.
This sudden attack was clearly out of the Council's expectations. Mighty Sound Wings was an attack from the Soul of Cry, and it was mostly area of effect. How could they dodge it?
Pa pa pa pa …
It was like a string of firecrackers being thrown into the team. After the Mighty Sound Wings attack hit its target, it made a crisp sound. However, Shi Ao's strength was limited, and the Council's inspector was not an ordinary person. This wave of attack had disrupted the Council's team, but the damage was still extremely limited.
"Steady!" The sixth commander, Senhai, shouted. He did not command anyone, but attacked personally.
So fast!
Shi Ao was startled. His [Mighty Sonic Wings Spread] wasn't the only wave of attack. He had been preparing for the second wave, but Sen Hai had already taken advantage of this small opening. In the blink of an eye, Sen Hai had already appeared in front of him.
Should he run?
Shi Ao knew that he wouldn't be able to outrun this Dual Soul Linked Cultivator. He clenched his teeth and released the second wave of energy that he had been accumulating. He opened his mouth and an even sharper whistling sound could be heard. Sen Hai, who was rushing towards him, was hit head-on. His face twisted, but he didn't retreat. He wanted to take this Majestic Sound Spreading Wings and capture Shi Ao.
Depressing …
Shi Ao did not feel afraid, he only felt depressed. His rank three special ability, in front of a person with two connected souls, made him feel slightly disappointed. He knew that the difference in level was very large, and he did not expect to cause much damage, but at least at such a close distance, he should be able to force the other back a few steps! In the end, the other only showed a slight expression of pain before he forced himself to endure.
"Behave yourself!" Senhai shouted, and chopped down with one palm. Shi Ao subconsciously raised his arms to block. A strong force pressed down, and it was not something he could resist. But Shi Ao's eyes were shining.
He was very dissatisfied with his special ability, but he had still completed his mission. The first wave of attack had messed up the other party's formation, and attracted all the attention of the other party. There was even a commander who wanted to kill him.
Peace!
Shi Ao stared in the direction where Shujihira was. They were childhood friends, and had entered Amaterasu College together. He had admired Shujihira since he was young, and this had never changed after he entered the college and started his training as a cultivator.
The opportunity he created might not be very good, but his old friend would definitely be able to make use of it. Shi Ao was very confident of this.
Shocking Bones!
Shujihira's special ability was rated at rank four, but when it was activated, it was faster than Shi Ao's rank three special ability, Sonorous Wings. This was the characteristic of the Soul of Essence special ability, it could come at will, and be released at will.
Those inspectors who were preparing to gather around Siffin suddenly stopped moving, and a kind of tingling feeling suddenly appeared in their bodies. It was useless to reach out and press on their skin. The tingling seemed to be beating on their bones.
Guo Youdao raised his hand in the direction of Wen Yan, and Wen Yan's figure suddenly rushed out from the corner, and went straight to the Director of the Academy who had stopped because of the sudden tingling.
