Zhu Lanhuo's expression was ugly beyond compare. He had never imagined that in today's battle, another three of their elders would die.
He had died without a sound, without any warning.
They were dignified elders, ancient martial art practitioners in the Golden Elixir realm. They were not small fries. How could they die so mysteriously?
Even if they could not win, could they not escape?
He really wanted to know what had happened. However, with the obstruction and cover of the Snow Storm Stratagem, even with his cultivation, he could not find the reason.
"What should we do?"
As the Deputy Sect Leader, Li Zhuoying also realized that something was wrong. Yesterday, he was still very optimistic, thinking that something unexpected must have happened and that the five elders had not returned. However, today, another three elders had gone missing. In just two short days, five elders of the Sacred Flame Sect had gone missing.
Regarding this, he was also very shocked. What exactly was going on?
"We can't delay any longer. Something must have happened in the Intentionless Sect. Did you notice that Chen Zikuang, whom we met today, has actually recovered from his injuries? Under normal circumstances, that is almost impossible. He should have eaten some healing spiritual medicine. However, I am very curious. The Intentionless Sect shouldn't be so generous. Even if it is just a small injury, he would eat a spiritual medicine to treat it. Even the two of us are not so extravagant. "
Zhu Lanhuo said with a gloomy expression. At this time, the Sacred Flame Sect and the Intentionless Sect were at war. The healing spiritual medicine was the most precious thing and would not be used easily. Chen Zikuang had only suffered a minor injury. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for him to be so extravagant.
In the hall, the atmosphere was tense. A few days ago, there were at least twenty elders who could appear in this place. However, today, there were only about ten. The rest were either confirmed dead or missing.
A few days ago, after the two elders, Duan Mu and Diao Peng, strange things had happened again and again. In just a few days, the Sacred Flame Sect had lost ten elders.
There must be some secret behind this. It was just that they did not know. Facing the mysterious Intentionless Sect, even the elders of the Sacred Flame Sect felt an invisible mountain pressing down on their hearts. Their mood became more and more solemn.
Moreover, the advantage of the Sacred Flame Sect was their top combat power, which far surpassed the Intentionless Sect's Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners. However, now that ten elders had died, the Sacred Flame Sect's advantage was getting smaller and smaller.
The only advantage they had was that they still had two middle-stage Golden Core sect masters.
"You're prepared?" Li Zhuoying's expression turned serious.
"Let's use the Formation Breaking Flag. There's no other way."
Zhu Lanhuo sighed. Now that things had come to this, he had no other choice. He had not expected that the Intentionless Sect would actually have such a strange stratagem like the Snow Storm Stratagem. This was his biggest mistake in coming to attack the Intentionless Sect.
However, he was now in a difficult position. He could not fail at the last moment. The Sacred Flame Sect had paid such a huge price. If he did not gain anything, his reputation as the sect leader would be greatly affected.
Moreover, he was not satisfied. He was just one step away from annihilating the Intentionless Sect and completing the task that the Sacred Flame Sect had not been able to accomplish for hundreds of years. He was not satisfied with failing just like that.
"Formation Destruction Flag! Isn't the price too high? What if … "
Li Zhuoying's eyes narrowed and his expression turned serious. The Formation Destruction Flag was too valuable. It was the treasure of the Sacred Flame Sect. There was only one set of Formation Destruction Flag in the entire Sacred Flame Sect. Moreover, the Formation Destruction Flag was not an ordinary Stratagem Flag. It had a limit to its usage. Each Formation Destruction Flag could only be used once. If it was used in the Intentionless Sect, then the Formation Destruction Flag would be useless.
Especially now that something had happened in the Intentionless Sect. If the Formation Destruction Flag was used and still could not take down the Intentionless Sect, then it would be an unbearable price for the Sacred Flame Sect.
No one knew what had happened in the Intentionless Sect. Why had the ten elders all disappeared?
As the deputy sect leader of the Sacred Flame Sect, Li Zhuoying's confidence was diminishing. He was not a person who liked to take risks. Doing so was like cutting off all means of retreat and throwing all caution to the wind.
"Then what should we do? Could it be that we retreat from the Intentionless City and return to the Sacred Flame City? Wouldn't the half a month that we have worked so hard for become a joke? "
Zhu Lanhuo's face was dark. He could not stop now. He could only stand to the end. Moreover, he still did not know what had happened. Even if the ten elders were all dead, so what? He was an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. He alone was equivalent to ten. Moreover, there was still Li Zhuoying.
The Intentionless Sect had lost that old b * stard, Chen Wuhui. What power could they have to contend with him?
Chen Zikuang thought that he could fight him just because he had a few treasures. What a joke. The Intentionless Sect had treasures. Did it mean that the Sacred Flame Sect did not have any?
"Since you have decided, then we shall go according to your wishes."
Li Zhuoying sighed. He also knew that at this time, the Sacred Flame Sect could no longer recover. No matter what, they had to give it a try. At least they had not reached the point of despair. Even if something had happened in the Intentionless Sect, it was impossible for them to make a complete comeback.
"Pass down the orders. From tomorrow onwards, we will attack with all our might. All the elders in the Intentionless City are in position. Don't worry about anything else. Let's take down the Intentionless Sect first."
Zhu Lanhuo instructed coldly. At this time, he had completely lost his patience.
The next day, the atmosphere in the Intentionless City was tense. The Sacred Flame Sect ancient martial art practitioners who had sealed off the Intentionless City's outer city had all withdrawn overnight. The huge Intentionless City was finally no longer sealed off.
Not only the ancient martial art practitioners who were guarding the city gates, but even the Sacred Flame Sect ancient martial art practitioners who were maintaining order in the city seemed to have completely disappeared. They did not appear in the city the next day.
Many people suspected that the Sacred Flame Sect had already taken down the Intentionless Sect. Hence, they no longer sealed off the entire city.
However, suspicions were just suspicions. Although the outer city had been unsealed, the inner city had always been sealed off. Instead, it was like a raging storm. Waves of frightening Inner Qi were constantly emitted from within.
In a room of an inn, Chen Zi was standing by the window, looking at the street outside. The worry in her eyes was so thick that it could not be dispersed. Zou Guangbo rushed in from outside and said in a low voice, "Young Mistress, the power of the Sacred Flame Sect in the outer city has indeed been completely withdrawn. They should have been transferred to the battlefield in the inner city. However, we still cannot confirm whether the Intentionless Sect has fallen. "
Chen Zi pursed her lips tightly. She looked at the street outside and did not speak for a long time. Other than remaining silent, there was nothing she could do. She could only wait helplessly for the final news.
"Young Mistress, you don't have to worry too much. Life and death are up to fate. Success and failure are up to the heavens. If the Intentionless Sect has that luck, they will be fine."
Zou Guangbo sighed. He could only comfort her like this.
He also did not know what to say. Regarding the battle between the two large sects, the power of the two of them was too insignificant.
"Perhaps I have done something wrong. I should not have gotten him involved."
Chen Zi sighed. She had some slight regret in her heart. Back then, when she knew that the Intentionless Sect was in trouble, why did she still bring Mo Wen to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension?
"Young Mistress, the heavens help the worthy. Moreover, this person, Mo Wen … How do I put it? He is a little strange. I have always thought that he is the only one who can harm others. Others cannot harm him. Moreover, I can sense that the reason why he came to the Intentionless Sect should be because he has his own motives. Young Mistress, even if you want to stop him, he most likely will not listen. "
Zou Guangbo was silent for a moment. Then, he continued, "Moreover, I suspect that the changes in the Sacred Flame Sect this time may have something to do with him. I wouldn't be surprised if he could make something of it. Perhaps, to the Intentionless Sect, it might even be a good thing. "
"Good thing?" Chen Zi looked at Zou Guangbo.
"Yes. From the looks of it, the Intentionless Sect should not have fallen yet. This is because the stratagem that locks the inner city still exists. Moreover, in the inner city, the waves of Inner Qi are getting more and more intense. The battle should still be ongoing. The Sacred Flame Sect has summoned the power of the outer city to the inner city. I am afraid that there are only two possibilities. They are either preparing for the final attack or they have suffered greatly in the battle with the Intentionless Sect. Hence, they have no choice but to increase their power. "
Zou Guangbo analyzed. In reality, many people had already guessed this. If they had only taken down the Intentionless Sect, there was no need for the Sacred Flame Sect to withdraw all their power from the outer city. After all, the order of the Intentionless Sect was still maintained by the Sacred Flame Sect.
Moreover, there were many people from the Intentionless Sect hiding in the outer city. To the Sacred Flame Sect, it was also a hidden danger. Under normal circumstances, they would not ignore it.
Combined with the battle in the inner city that had not ended, it was easy to lead people to think in this direction.
Hence, Zou Guangbo had a little hope in his heart. The Intentionless Sect could force the Sacred Flame Sect to such a stage. Perhaps they could survive this calamity.
"What you said makes sense. Under normal circumstances, the Sacred Flame Sect would not give up control of the outer city. I am afraid they are really all alone."
Chen Zi frowned. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "No, we cannot wait any longer. Since the Sacred Flame Sect has given up control of the outer city, we should immediately gather the people from the Intentionless Sect who are hiding in the outer city and take control of the outer city instead. Also, there should be quite a number of elders and strong practitioners from the sect who are outside the city who have rushed to Intentionless City. Under the situation where they cannot enter the city, they might all be gathered outside Intentionless City. Leave the city immediately and see if you can contact a few elders who are rushing back, "Chen Zi said decisively.
The Sacred Flame Sect giving up control of the outer city gave her the opportunity to gather the power of the Intentionless Sect. If she gathered all those people, it would most likely be a considerable force.
At this moment, the inner city was in a state of turmoil.
Zhu Lanhuo and Li Zhuoying, the two sect leaders of the Sacred Flame Sect, appeared in the Snow Storm Stratagem. Each of them held a few dark green flags in their hands. The flags fluttered continuously in the wind and snow.
"Is everything ready?" Zhu Lanhuo asked.
A group of Sacred Flame Sect disciples were busy in the Snow Storm Stratagem. No one knew what they were doing. A large group of people were continuously digging holes in the snow. They were actually burying spiritual stones in them. (To be continued.)
