"The General's Tiger Emblem in my hands can prove it." Old General Ma passed a Tiger Emblem to Yue Yang and warned him, "You must ensure that you can teleport to the capital. We can only hold on for an hour at most. I hope that you can use your fastest speed to rush to the Imperial City and seek an audience with the Emperor. Ask the Emperor to send out the elders or the Heavenly Imperial Guardians. Otherwise, we will be completely annihilated … We only have three teleportation scrolls left. It's not enough for all of you to leave. If you have teleportation scrolls with you, then quickly leave and return to Da Xia! "
Old General Ma was implying that Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and the others were temporarily unable to help. Staying here would only put their lives in danger. It was better to leave as soon as possible.
Yue Yang nodded his head and took the Tiger Emblem.
The two Deputy Generals had already retracted the soldiers. The injured were in the middle while the elite soldiers surrounded them.
The surrounding houses were lit up as much as possible. Flames rose to the sky. The Giant Spiders that were afraid of fire did not dare to approach them. The soldiers' lives were temporarily saved.
As for the flying beasts in the sky, they were still observing. It was not the best time to attack yet. The soldiers had not dispersed yet and still had the strength to fight. Old General Ma's Hurricane Elite Soldiers had very few injured. Every one of them was filled with killing intent and their morale was high. The commander of the Corrupted Warriors was as calm and cautious as Old General Ma. He would not attack easily, nor would he retreat.
Although the Luminous Demon Ding Zang had been defeated by Yue Yang and escaped alone, and the Black Winged Tan Wu Fang had already been captured, this person was completely unmoved.
"There's no need to come back after an hour." Old General Ma's meaning was very clear. If the reinforcements did not arrive within an hour, then they would all be dead. It would be useless even if they came to rescue them. They might even fall into the enemy's trap.
"Yue Bing, let's go!" Yue Yang grabbed the unconscious Tan Wu Fang and shouted towards Yue Bing and Inan.
"We're going back to Da Xia." Ye Kong patted the shoulder of the squad leader who was in charge of receiving them. Looking at the guy who was trembling all over, he suddenly advised, "Why don't you come with us? We will return to Great Xia, but Yue Yang will be teleported to the capital of Heavenly State. He is not familiar with the place and needs a guide. You should come with us! "
"I, I'll stay with the general … Long live the Holy Emperor, long live the Tian Luo!" The captain's ash-black face was expressionless, but his body was trembling. He forced himself to stand and shouted hoarsely.
It could be seen that he was really scared, but he was not a coward.
Yue Yang reckoned that this fellow was usually a young master soldier, or perhaps a descendant of a large family. It was already rare for him to be able to persevere like this in the face of danger for the first time on the battlefield. If it was someone else, they might fight for it even if their head was smashed open. However, he refused and chose to stay.
In the face of a hopeless situation, even if they were afraid, they wouldn't choose the path of survival. Instead, they chose to stay and fight together with their companions.
This Old General Ma was indeed skilled in leading troops.
Old General Ma patted the captain's shoulder. He did not say anything, but his eyes were filled with praise.
"Wait for me to come back. I will definitely come back!" Yue Yang made a promise to these soldiers who had placed all their hopes on him. Perhaps they might not be able to find reinforcements in an hour, but Yue Yang decided to come back and fight with these soldiers until the very last moment.
Hui Tai Lang led the way in front, while Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and the Li Brothers followed closely behind.
Yue Yang grabbed the unconscious Black Winged Tan Wu Fang who was tied up by the two Deputy Generals with one hand and pulled Inan with the other. Yue Bing had already been tied onto his back. Behind them was Old General Ma who was determined to escort the troops out. Although he was heavily injured, he still had his battle power. The strength of his bear transformation was extremely shocking. He lifted up a huge flaming pillar and swept away the Giant Spiders that were rushing towards them.
Once they rushed out of the town, Yue Yang told Inan to summon her grimoire and leave it at the same place.
He waved his Hui Jin Magic Blade and used his newly comprehended ability to control fire ability to split the purple flames into rings of flames that revolved crazily and flew out.
Wherever the rings of flames passed, the Giant Spiders would shriek in pain as they were cut into two halves by the rings of flames.
In the sky, the leader rode on a Giant Eagle and brought along a few wyverns and a dozen Corrupted Warriors. He kept circling in the sky, looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
He was intimidated by Yue Yang's strength and didn't dare to dive down. Instead, he ordered the Corrupted Warriors to shoot with their crossbows or bows. Ye Kong and the others continued to throw burning oil, forcing the densely packed Giant Spiders in front of them to retreat. At the same time, they formed a small team that could attack and defend as they slowly advanced forward.
"Go, go!" Old General Ma knew that the longer they delayed, the more dangerous the situation would be.
If they didn't leave now, these students might not even be able to leave.
On the other hand, Ye Kong and the others groaned inwardly. They had already killed their way out of the town by two kilometers, but they were still within the range of the interference. If they didn't do it soon, they would reach the Despair Abyss … Old General Ma waved the flaming giant beam and shouted at Fatty Hai who was the slowest, "Go, teleport out. Normally, as long as you don't land on a cliff, you won't fall to your death. Use the teleportation scroll again and return to your place … Quickly find the strongest teacher to protect you. Don't wander around, and don't go to the Warrior's Guild to announce the attack … The rankers from the Demonic Palace will be here soon, go quickly!"
Fatty Hai and the others were extremely nervous. However, without Yue Yang's approval, they didn't dare to take out their teleportation scrolls and leave.
Yue Yang's idea was that the team had to stay together. Otherwise, even if the enemy managed to catch one of them, it would be a big problem. No matter what, they had to bring the whole team back.
Old General Ma suddenly roared towards the sky. His entire body turned into a bear, almost turning into a giant steel bear.
He lost control and charged into the group of Giant Spiders, crazily slaughtering them.
Repeatedly charging and killing, he opened up a path for Yue Yang and the others. When Yue Yang got close, his eyes were bloodshot and he actually struck his palm towards Yue Yang's chest.
When Yue Yang dodged it skillfully, the red light in Old General Ma's eyes gradually weakened. He growled, "Go quickly, I can't hold on for much longer. You guys are different from us. You guys are students, don't sacrifice yourselves so easily. You guys are the future of the Soaring Dragon Continent … We are soldiers, dying on the battlefield is the highest honour! Go, go, I'm about to lose control, you guys leave quickly! "
Old General Ma who had transformed into a bear charged towards the group of Giant Spiders with a rumble, causing another wave of chaos.
He turned halfway and led the countless spiders back towards Hope Town.
Ye Kong's hands were full of sweat. The Teleportation Scroll in his hands was so tight that water could almost come out. Seeing that there was no more black gas on the Teleportation Scroll, he hurriedly opened the Teleportation Scroll and shouted, "It's done, we're already out of the interference range. Everyone, hurry up!"
In the sky, the Corrupted Warriors riding on the Giant Eagles swooped down with a few Wyverns, preparing to interfere with Yue Yang and the others' teleportation.
As long as the interference was successful, this last team of reinforcements would also die in this Hope Town …
Yue Yang raised his Hui Jin Magic Blade and leapt up high, killing the Giant Eagle that swooped down the fastest. Fresh blood splattered and feathers fluttered in the air in satisfaction. Immediately, the Giant Eagles and Wyverns who saw that the situation was not good immediately fled in all directions. The Corrupted Warrior Commander's expression changed. He had taken out the Gold-ranked Crossbow from his bosom and kept it.
A Fallen Warrior who couldn't escape in time caused Yue Yang, who had appeared behind him, to be scared witless.
His attempts to escape and struggle were all futile.
Yue Yang swung his blade and landed on the ground. At this time, they had already successfully teleported away. In the sky, the Corrupted Warrior and the Giant Eagle that had lost their heads spiraled downwards and fell into a group of Giant Spiders. They were instantly drowned by the bloodthirsty spiders.
On the ground, only Inan and Yue Yang were left.
Under Hui Tai Lang's protection, Inan opened the Teleportation Gate without any threat. However, she was waiting for Yue Yang to leave with her.
Yue Yang quickly opened the Teleportation Scroll and kicked Hui Tai Lang into the Teleportation Gate. Then, he and Inan both entered their own Teleportation Gate and teleported away.
Their destination was originally the Ivy Academy's plaza.
The old cunning fox was lying at the entrance to study the Teleportation Circle when he suddenly felt a ripple in the air. When he raised his head, he saw Fatty Hai screaming and falling down. He quickly dodged to the side. He looked at Fatty Hai who had crashed onto the ground with a loud bang and asked in astonishment, "What happened? Fatty, you didn't die right? " Before he could finish, Ye Kong and the Li Brothers teleported down from the sky, scaring the old cunning fox so much that he quickly dodged.
Just as he was puzzled, a pair of feet suddenly stepped on him. Then, he heard Yue Yang's voice asking from above his head, "Is everyone alright?"
"They are alright. However, as the Vice Principal, I really want to ask you out of curiosity. Student, where did you set the teleportation point? Why did you set it to be above my head?" The old cunning fox realized that Yue Yang was especially heavy. When he raised his head, he saw that Yue Yang was carrying Yue Bing on his back, a female thief in his arms and a blackened roasted person in his other hand. He immediately understood why this brat's weight was comparable to Fatty Hai's. It turned out that he was carrying three people and a captive …
"There were still some disturbances in the teleportation, but at least we returned safely. Vice Principal, I don't have time to talk to you right now. I'll leave these people to your protection. Before I return, if they lose even a single strand of hair, I'll hold you accountable! " Yue Yang did not have the time to get down from the old cunning fox's back. He hurriedly put down Inan and untied Yue Bing. Finally, he hurriedly opened the scroll that Old General Ma gave him and carried Tan Wu Fang, teleporting directly to Tian Luo Kingdom to look for reinforcements.
"What's going on? Who is that burnt person that brat is carrying? "The old cunning fox was confused and couldn't make heads or tails of the situation.
"Nothing much. It's just that some people from the Demonic Palace came to attack us in Hope Town. The burnt person that Yue Yang was carrying was said to be the Black Winged Tan Wu Fang." Ye Kong purposely played down the situation.
"What kind of joke is this? Why would the Demonic Palace attack you kids?" The old cunning fox jumped up.
"I don't understand either." Ye Kong spread his hands helplessly.
"Is that person really the Black Winged Tan Wu Fang?" The old cunning fox felt that this matter was not simple. Of course he knew the Black Winged Tan Wu Fang, the traitor of Tian Luo.
"He's not that powerful. Yue Yang could beat him up with just one hand. The powerful one was a fellow called the Luminous Demon Ding Zang. He almost burnt us into roast ducks! I thought that Old General Ma, one of the Ten Great Generals of Tian Luo, was already very powerful. Who knew that he would be killed in one move. Luckily, Old Ma's life was quite tough and he didn't die! " Fatty Hai started to narrate the story with a radiant smile. If the old cunning fox was willing to listen, he was even prepared to narrate the entire process from the start.
"The Luminous Demon Ding Zang could even fight him?" The old cunning fox cried out in surprise. "Was it Yue Yang that brat who won? That's impossible. I would have to expend a lot of effort to take down the Luminous Demon Ding Zang. If I don't use a beast that counters that fellow's Hellfire, it would be very troublesome to fight him … How long did that brat Yue Yang fight for? "
"Three moves!" Yue Bing nodded her head proudly.
"That's impossible. I might not even be able to take down the Luminous Demon Ding Zang in three moves!" The old cunning fox was completely shocked.
"He didn't win. He only used his Magic Blade to take down the Hellfire that was ten times stronger than the Luminous Demon Ding Zang, scaring him away." Inan added.
"That's still impossible. Ten times stronger than the Hellfire. It would be more likely if I was the one who took it. Is Yue Yang that powerful?" The old cunning fox felt that he urgently needed to update his assessment of Yue Yang's battle strength.
"Vice Principal, forgive me for speaking bluntly. Aren't you the worst teacher in the Ivy Academy? I didn't think that your bragging skills are even better than mine! " Fatty Hai hugged the old cunning fox's shoulders and shook his head sympathetically. "I say, Vice Principal, it's normal to fantasize and brag. Everyone has them. But fantasizing and bragging are two different things. You can't exaggerate too much! With your strength as a Level 5 [Grandmaster], you're not even a match for Ding Zang's finger. It's fine if you say this to us, but don't ever say it to others. Otherwise, people will laugh their teeth off. As students of the Ivy Academy, we would also feel ashamed! "
"…" After being lectured by Fatty Hai, the old cunning fox felt very gloomy.
He almost wanted to use his full strength to scare this Fatty Hai to death.
However, after thinking about it, it wasn't easy for him to disguise himself to this extent. If he let this Fatty Hai know his true strength, it would be strange if he didn't pester him every day.
In the end, the old cunning fox lowered his head and said gloomily, "Alright, Fatty, you're right. I admit that what I said just now was wrong! The Demonic Palace isn't a place to be offended. It's very possible that they would come to take revenge. However, don't be afraid, I'll protect you guys … Ah, I'll find some experts to protect you guys! "
Yue Yang didn't know that the old cunning fox, Ye Kong and Fatty Hai were making a ruckus behind his back.
The moment he entered the teleportation gate, he realized that something was wrong.
It was probably because he was carrying the Black Winged Tan Wu Fang in his hands that the teleportation was a little off. He didn't teleport to the teleportation gate in front of the Imperial City.
The moment he teleported out, he realized that he was facing a roof.
He hurriedly used his Qi to lighten his body and used the tip of his foot to touch the glazed roof tiles.
Who knew that he wouldn't be able to exert any force at all. His whole body slid soundlessly into the glazed roof tiles, but he didn't feel anything at all. It was very strange.
The Black Winged Tan Wu Fang that he was holding in his hands suddenly 'collapsed' on the roof. Furthermore, Yue Yang heard the Black Winged Tan Wu Fang let out an extremely painful scream as he fainted. The Black Winged Tan Wu Fang was sent flying more than ten meters away, falling to an unknown place. As for Yue Yang himself, he went through the roof, unable to grab onto any beams or pillars. In the end, he fell straight down to the ground.
When Yue Yang saw that it was still alright, it was the ground.
If it was a bottomless abyss or a dimensional space, he would be finished.
He then used his Qi and tried his best to lighten his feet. Yue Yang hoped that he would float down to the ground like a feather without triggering any mechanisms. He hoped that there wouldn't be a mechanism that would trigger thousands of arrows piercing through his heart …
Then, something even stranger happened.
When Yue Yang's feet touched the ground, he once again missed. The ground was fake, and there was nothing there.
Yue Yang's whole body strangely fell into the ground. Following that, he saw the illusion on the ground shatter, revealing a pool of clear water. Yue Yang's whole body fell into the water with a loud bang. Only now did he realize that the house, the pillars and the ground were all illusions. The real thing was water, a very big lake. Yue Yang felt very dizzy. He had clearly teleported to the Imperial City's teleportation circle, how did he end up here?
Furthermore, why was he able to fall into the lake, but the Black Winged Tan Wu Fang couldn't?
How did he get bounced out?
Just when Yue Yang was scratching his head in confusion, he suddenly heard two extremely soft voices talking about him. However, when he looked around, he couldn't see anyone.
"How did this foolish brat fall into our Fata Morgana?" A naturally dignified voice sounded out, as if it was speaking right beside Yue Yang's ear.
"Capture him and interrogate him properly!" The other voice was very mischievous, and it seemed to be quite young. It was especially delicate and gentle.
Yue Yang started sweating profusely. Fata Morgana?
Who were these two people? What kind of place was this Fata Morgana?
