"Somewhat interesting."
Xue Kuang flipped over, and like a nail, he was nailed to the snowy ground. With a thought, the gigantic steel blade that spanned across the heaven and earth slashed down. At first glance, it was only slightly larger than the previous move. There was no change in technique, but the amount of energy invested was more than a thousand times greater.
Xiao Pojun's scalp tingled and he screamed. He finally believed Yan Li's words and was shocked that he could defeat Xue Kuang. Without thinking, he threw himself forward, and his body shone with divine light.
Although he barely blocked the attack, he still used the momentum to disappear into the wind and snow.
Xue Kuang frowned and turned to look at Barren Bite. The latter shook his head, "I didn't find anything. If humans sneak in, there is no possibility of missing them in the ghost realm. "
"Continue moving," Xue Kuang listened and ordered with a dark expression.
… …
Xiao Pojun's appearance was short-lived, but he temporarily stopped the escort army.
Yan Li and You Qi took the opportunity to sneak in. Both of them were demons. It was easy to assassinate the two in disguise, but the problem was what to do next. In order to capture this group of captives, the Gui Clan had mobilized an entire army of about twenty thousand. Although ordinary Gui Clan members were not much of a threat to them, there were many Gui Generals. In addition, there were the entire Shadow Hall of the Blood-clothed Tower. Any one of those shadows would be enough to cause a headache, but this time, the entire army had attacked. There were more than seven hundred shadows. It would be a devastating disaster anywhere.
But these were all secondary.
"Do you see that guy driving the carriage?" You Qi pointed at a Snow Demon carriage in the center and secretly transmitted to Yan Li, "He is Huang Shi, a general of the Gui Clan. It is said that his strength is among the top three in the Gui King Palace. I didn't expect them to be this vigilant. The stronger of your companions should be imprisoned in that carriage."
There were three Snow Demon carriages. The cultivators were divided into three groups.
Yan Li looked in the direction she pointed. It was a middle-aged Gui Clan member with dark red skin. He also had three horns on his head. He was tall and sturdy, and his expression was cold like a cold and hard stone. His eyes were resolute and filled with a decisive light. From time to time, they would sweep around, not letting go of any suspicious spots.
The two of them didn't dare to look any longer and quickly averted their gazes.
Yan Li's gaze landed on the last two carriages. The two coachmen seemed to be equally difficult to deal with. The one in the middle was completely shrouded in a black robe, like a ghost. His presence was extremely weak, as if he could disappear into the air at any time. The one behind him was dressed in black and had a faceless mask on his face. His figure was also indistinct, very unpredictable.
"You noticed that the black-robed fellow is the Shadow Hall's Hall Master, Shadow. No one knows his original name. From the day he became the Shadow Hall's Hall Master, only Li Xueyi knew his identity. Even the Demon Lord did not know his identity. His Shadow Body Technique has already reached the pinnacle. As long as he enters his Soul Shadow state, not even an expert of the Divine Domain can do anything to him. Although that move of yours was powerful enough to kill ten of him, you would never be able to touch the corner of his clothes. " You Qi spoke with great familiarity. "The one wearing the mask in the back is called Faceless, the Vice Hall Master. Not only is he skilled in the Shadow Body Technique, he also knows a type of illusion technique. If you fight him, his face can turn into someone you care about at any time. It's extremely easy to be confused."
Every carriage was guarded by a troublesome person, and they were surrounded by a large number of elites. They had to get close without arousing suspicion, deliver the Tear of the Fire Leech to the cultivators, and finally kill their way out of the encirclement. No matter how they looked at it, it was an impossible task.
When You Qi saw this, she couldn't help but want to retreat. "Yan Li, why don't we wait until the captives are sent to the Blood-clothed Tower's prison, then we can think of something?"
"No!"
The army set off again, and the two could only follow.
When Yan Li heard this suggestion, he immediately shook his head and rejected it.
"Why?" You Qi furrowed her brows. "Don't you think that acting now is suicidal? Do you think that being captured by the Xue Kuang will lead to a good end? "
Yan Li had many concerns, but the most important one was Ji Zhiyuan's safety. Based on Li Xieyi's hatred for him, if Ji Zhiyuan was sent to Moon Shadow City, he might be tortured. He couldn't let that happen.
"Do you think that if they are sent to Moon Shadow City, we still have a chance to approach them?" He sneered. "If you're afraid, just leave. After all, as a demon, why are you risking your life with me? It's going to be a narrow escape, so I advise you to leave as soon as possible."
You Qi thought that if she could leave, she wouldn't be so courteous with him. She gritted her teeth in anger, but to avoid exposing more, she shrugged and said, "I'll listen to you. Since it's a narrow escape, there's still a chance to escape. If you're not afraid, why should I be? At worst, I'll be captured back to the Ghost King Palace and continue to serve that old pervert. "
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Her beautiful eyes turned slightly and met with Yan Li's gaze. The latter's eyes were like torches, making her feel like she had nowhere to hide. She almost spilled the beans, but she was stopped by her strong conviction and looked at him calmly.
"Do you still remember the section of the underground river where we encountered the Soul Hall?" Yan Li thought for a while and withdrew his gaze.
"Of course I remember," You Qi said.
Yan Li said, "I reckon that the Snow Devils will have to rest when they reach that section. The Xue Kuang probably won't run them to death, so that will be our only chance."
…
The sky was already bright, and when night fell again, the Snow Devils, who had been rushing for two days without rest, finally collapsed.
Xue Kuang had no choice but to give the order to rest and reorganize on the spot. He ordered his starving subordinates to make food. The shadows in the Shadow Hall were still fine, as they were all assassins who could endure hardships. However, the twenty thousand ghost army could not. After eating dry rations for two days, they were so sick of it that they started to work in full swing.
Everything went according to Yan Li's plan, but he didn't expect that Moon Shadow City would send a letter to the Xue Kuang at this moment.
The Blood Eagle landed on the arm of the Xue Kuang. He didn't understand the intention of the Blood-clothed Tower to send a message at this time. He took down the letter and read it, and his face gradually changed.
"Brother Xue, what's written?" Barren Bite asked curiously.
The Xue Kuang forced a smile and said, "It says that Yan Li got the fire leeches and escaped, and asked us to be careful."
"Oh?" Barren Bite's words were full of mockery, and his evaluation of the Xue Kuang was getting lower and lower. "Even so, there's no need to be so cautious. Look at Brother Xue's face, it's like the end of the world is coming. It's fine if that Yan guy doesn't show up, but if he does, I'll avenge Brother Xue."
"Am I being cautious?" The Xue Kuang said unhappily. "Also, if he shows up, don't let the First Prince interfere. I can deal with him myself."
"It's good that Brother Xue knows what to do." Barren Bite shrugged.
The Xue Kuang denied it, but he had a lot of thoughts in his mind. After thinking about it, he felt that Xiao Pojun's appearance was very strange. He raised his hand and summoned a shadow, "Go, pass on my order. Let your Hall Master check and count the number of people under him. If there are any unfamiliar faces, capture them all. If they dare to resist, kill them on the spot. I'd rather kill the wrong person than let them go!"
"Yes!"
