Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Wu Qi said, "I am very sorry about Elder Chang, but you harmed senior apprentice-brother Lei first and framed junior apprentice-brother Yan later. How can we believe you?"
Xu Longxiang said, "If so, I am willing to swear a dao heart oath with my true name. I only ask that you all believe me this once!"
Wu Qi and Luo Dalong looked at each other, the latter frowning as he recalled how Xu Longxiang had taken care of him when he first entered the Thunder Division. Suppressing his anger, he said, "There is no shortage of people like you when it comes to fighting and killing. If you want to make trouble for the Sword Envoys, why don't you go to the Heavenly Sword Hall and guard the Sect Master's meditation room with senior apprentice-brother Yu?"
Xu Longxiang said, "I arrived just now. If that bastard had not sent out the sword talisman, I would indeed be useless and would not have appeared to embarrass myself. Now that Zhao Gongling is aware of the movements of the two divisions, he must have led his troops to guard the main path. He does not know that I have already left the Sword Envoys. As long as the two of you bring your elites along with me and say that you are reinforcements sent by Yang Qiusheng, he will not think much of my enmity with eldest apprentice-brother. Won't we be able to enter the golden peak easily then? "
Wu Qi and Luo Dalong looked at each other again, seeing the intentions in each other's eyes. Zhao Gongling would never have expected that Xu Longxiang, who had personally destroyed his eldest apprentice-brother's future, would have such a huge change. Of course, the prerequisite was that Xu Longxiang was truly sincere.
Wu Qi thought about it and said, "If so, swear a dao heart oath with your true name. If you are not sincere, your cultivation base will no longer improve and you will fall into the Nine Underworlds after you die."
Xu Longxiang immediately raised three fingers and shouted solemnly, "I, Xu Longxiang, swear with my true name that if I am not sincere in rescuing eldest apprentice-brother this time, my cultivation base will no longer improve and I will fall into the Nine Underworlds after I die, never to reincarnate!"
Unlike ordinary oaths, one's true name could be said to be the soul of a cultivator. Moreover, it was "heard by the heavens". Once an oath was broken, there was a ninety-nine percent chance of punishment. For a cultivator, it was tantamount to malicious murder if one's cultivation stopped progressing.
Wu Qi no longer had any doubts. He made a prompt decision and said, "Next, I will call the roll. Those who are chosen will change their clothes, and those who are not chosen will stay behind. Once Eldest Senior Brother is rescued, I will send the sword talisman down. We will work together and catch Zhao Gongling off guard!"
"Here!"
Three thousand elites were chosen to be led by Wu Qi and Luo Dalong. The two of them had changed their appearances. Tonight, the moon and stars were unclear and the visibility was poor, so it was easier for them to sneak through. This gave the two of them a bit more confidence. After organizing the team, the two of them were about to call Xu Long.
Just as he was about to set off, Xu Longxiang suddenly said, "Wait!"
"What is it?" Wu Qi asked.
Luo Dalong frowned and said, "Could it be that you intend to go back on your word?"
Xu Longxiang forced a smile and said, "I'm sincerely repentant. But if we go up like this, won't it be easier for Zhao Gongling to suspect us? "
"What do you mean?" Wu Qi asked.
Xu Longxiang said, "The Sky Division and Thunder Division are obviously lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain. How can I bring the law enforcement division's men in safely? I have to put on some decorations and make their clothes look more tattered. Only then will it look more realistic. "
When the two of them heard this, they nodded their heads cheerfully. The last trace of doubt was gone.
Next, they tidied up again. They took some beast blood from the forest and smeared it on their clothes to make sure that they looked like they had just gone through a fierce battle. Then, they officially set off.
With Xu Longxiang in the lead, they passed through the decorated building and climbed up a steep slope. There was no longer a path ahead. It was a plank road that was chiseled out of the mountain wall. Fifteen feet to the right was a bottomless abyss. If they fell, they would definitely die without a corpse.
As expected, Zhao Gongling had sent people to stand guard. When they saw people approaching, they immediately formed a formation. Xu Longxiang immediately shouted, "Junior brothers of the Chi Zhi Division, please wait. I'm Xu Longxiang. The acting chief has sent me as reinforcements. Behind me are the experts of the law enforcement division. "
Yuan Chen of the Chi Zhi Division saw that the newcomers were in a sorry state. He sneered and said, "Reinforcements? Look at your pathetic appearances. Who's going to help who? "
When Wu Qi and Luo Dalong heard the other party's words, it was obvious that they did not suspect anything. They were secretly excited and obediently followed behind Xu Longxiang.
Xu Longxiang walked forward and faced Yuan Chen. He cupped his fists and said, "At the foot of the mountain is the Tian Zhi Division and Lei Zhi Division. I brought five thousand men with me but lost two thousand. The other party is not having a good time either. Although we're here as reinforcements, the acting chief is actually worried about whether the place where Feng Jiu is being held is secure or not. He ordered us to cast spells to strengthen it. It wasn't easy for us to get here, but we still have to listen to your sarcastic remarks. If the acting chief knew about this, I'm afraid he wouldn't be happy. "
Yuan Chen's expression immediately became unnatural. "Hmph, I've already informed Senior Brother Zhao. You should go and talk to him yourself. We'll only let you pass after he gives his approval."
When Wu Qi and Luo Dalong heard this, they were shocked. If Xu Longxiang went alone and secretly communicated with Zhao Gongling, wouldn't that be very bad? The two of them immediately hinted at Xu Longxiang, hinting that he must not go alone.
Xu Long
Xiang understood and sneered, "Junior Brother, do you dare to tell me your name? It's really rare for you to be so 'loyal to your duty'. I'll definitely put in a good word for you in front of the acting chief."
When Yuan Chen heard this, his expression immediately changed. He could only reluctantly let him go.
Wu Qi and Luo Dalong heaved a sigh of relief and continued to climb the mountain with Xu Longxiang. Along the way, Yuan Chen did not obstruct them anymore. They reached the entrance of the Golden Peak without any obstructions. Seeing that victory was in sight, the two of them were secretly excited. However, when they saw Zhao Gongling coming out from the entrance, they were shocked. They quickly concealed their breath and lowered their heads so that he wouldn't see them.
Zhao Gongling cupped his fists and said, "Junior Brother Xu, why didn't the acting chief send a message when you're here as reinforcements?"
When he said this, Wu Qi and Luo Dalong's hearts tightened. They were already deep in the enemy's territory. If they were seen through, they would be in danger.
Xu Longxiang cupped his fists and returned the greeting. "The situation has changed. Yan Li has returned to the sect. He possesses the supernatural power 'Zero Realm' and won't be easy to deal with. The acting chief is worried that he'll rescue Feng Jiu and ruin the Sword Lord's thousand-year plan. That's why he sent me here."
"I see. Please come in then." Zhao Gongling nodded.
Wu Qi and Luo Dalong were delighted. They didn't expect that Zhao Gongling would no longer be suspicious of them just by mentioning Yan Li. They walked to the square on the Golden Peak. The six halls represented the six secret realms and were located in six different directions. The two of them looked directly at Taiyuan Hall, where Feng Jiu was imprisoned. Wu Qi purposely lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother Xu, we'll go and reinforce him!" As he said this, he walked past Xu Longxiang and strode toward Taiyuan Hall with his men. He looked like he was going to barge in. However, at this moment, dozens of sword rays suddenly shot out from within the hall.
"Supervisor, be careful!" A dozen elites charged forward and used their bodies to block the sword rays. None of them survived. They were all minced into pieces by the sword rays.
"No!" Wu Qi staggered backward. His eyes were red as he let out a sorrowful cry. More than two thousand Chi Yi Division disciples rushed out of the hall. They were the ones who launched the dozens of sword rays. Wu Qi turned his head and glared at Xu Longxiang. "B * stard, you swore!"
Xu Longxiang clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were bloodshot as he screamed, "What's the point of swearing? I want to live. I can't live like a dog. I want to be above everyone else. Even if my cultivation doesn't improve, even if I fall into the Nine Hells after death. What do you know about me? I've paid such a heavy price. How can I be willing to fail … Haha, all of you can be my stepping stones to success! "
