Trap!
Xie Ze took a deep breath when he saw Ning Yue's hopeful expression. He shook his head and said, "There were many of them and they escaped in different directions. Even though I tried my best, there were still three cultivators that I didn't manage to kill."
Ning Yue's face turned cold instantly.
If three cultivators escaped, it meant that the Alchemy Union's army would soon arrive at Giant Shield City and encircle and annihilate the Supreme Palace that he had established.
The only thing he could do now was to set off earlier and attack the Saint grade Crystal mine in the Moling Mountain Range before the Alchemy Union's army arrived!
This was the only way to relieve the pressure on Supreme Palace.
After all, with the Saint grade Crystal Crystal, Supreme Palace could find a place to lie low and slowly accumulate their strength. It wouldn't be too late to come out when they could contend with the Alchemy Union.
Of course, this was the only way out.
Unless there was no other way, Ning Yue would never let Supreme Palace live in seclusion!
"Although I didn't kill those three cultivators, I used a secret technique to trap them in a cave."
Xie Ze didn't dare to delay when he saw Ning Yue's gloomy face. He said hurriedly, "I wanted to attack the cave, but there was a peerless array formation at the entrance. There were also experts in the cave helping the three cultivators to resist. I saw that the time of the elixir was almost up, so I set up another array formation at the entrance and rushed back to tell you the news."
"Cave?"
Ning Yue had a feeling that there was a glimmer of hope at the darkest hour of the night.
He had thought that he would have to hide with Supreme Palace after the matter was exposed.
Who would have thought that Xie Ze would actually trap the three cultivators in the cave?
To Ning Yue, no matter what kind of experts were in the cave, he was going to kill those three cultivators!
Ning Yue asked in a low voice, "Is there any other exit from that cave?"
"Before I left, I purposely investigated the cave. There was only one exit, no other exits," Xie Ze replied.
"There's no time to lose. Let's set off for that cave now."
Ning Yue knew the seriousness of the matter.
As long as they were able to rush to the cave before Xie Ze's array was broken and capture all the remaining members of the Pill Refining Union in one fell swoop, they would be able to gain enough time!
Time was money. With time, Ning Yue believed that the Supreme Palace would be able to give the Alchemy Union a huge surprise!
"But …"
Xie Ze hesitated when he heard that Ning Yue wanted to go to that cave.
"In the future, don't hesitate when you speak in front of me. If you have something to say, say it!" Ning Yue said coldly.
"I have fought with that expert in the cave. Although that expert's cultivation is only at the Middle Phase Heavenly Sovereign Realm, the cave's terrain is dangerous, and it's easy to defend. Furthermore, there's an array around the cave, so it won't be easy for us to break it in a short period of time." Xie Ze spoke out his worry.
No one knew better than Xie Ze how terrifying that formation was.
Even with his peak Sky Supreme strength, he couldn't break the formation.
It was obvious that even if they killed their way back, it would be of no use.
"You don't have to worry about that."
Ning Yue waved his hand and gestured for Xie Ze to rest here for now.
Then, Ning Yue whispered something into the Golden Arowana King's ear before sitting down cross-legged and no longer saying anything.
Swoosh!
After receiving Ning Yue's order, the Golden Arowana King's figure dashed towards Giant Shield City.
"Could it be that Ning Yue has a way to break the array at the cave's entrance?"
Xie Ze frowned as he watched the Golden Arowana King leave and Ning Yue sit down cross-legged.
Xie Ze didn't believe that Ning Yue had a way to break the array at the cave's entrance. After all, even he wouldn't be able to break the array in a short period of time, let alone Ning Yue.
However, he didn't argue with Ning Yue when he told him to wait here. Instead, he obediently stayed where he was.
He had just gone through a huge battle and had used up quite a bit of his energy. He needed time to recuperate.
Creak!
About ten minutes later.
The tightly shut city gate of Giant Shield City slowly opened.
The Golden Arowana King took the lead. After leaving the city gate, he flew towards Ning Yue without stopping.
Ba Da, Grandmaster Xing Yun, Immortal Ji Mo, and Grandmaster Zhao followed closely behind the Golden Arowana King. Their speed wasn't slow either.
"Let's go!"
Seeing the Golden Arowana King and the others arrive, Ning Yue immediately stood up from the ground. He waved his hand and said in a clear voice, "Xie Ze, lead the way. We'll go to the cave you mentioned now."
Xie Ze originally wanted to persuade Ning Yue, but when he saw Ning Yue's posture, it was clear that he had already made up his mind.
Xie Ze had no choice but to swallow his words and lead the way for Ning Yue and the others.
"Palace Master, do you think the Patriarch will be in danger if he leaves with Ning Yue?"
Yun Xi Fairy asked with a solemn expression as she watched Ning Yue, Xie Ze, and the others gradually disappear from the city gate tower.
"Don't worry. The Patriarch is powerful. He won't be in danger." The Palace Master waved her hand and said, "When Ning Yue and the others are far away, leave the Giant Shield City secretly and bring the Patriarch of Heavenly Secrets here."
"What?! The Patriarch of Heavenly Secrets is already here?! "
Yun Xi Fairy's heart skipped a beat when she heard the Palace Master's words.
In her view, as long as the Patriarch of Heavenly Secrets arrived, they would know what Ning Yue was planning!
Yun Xi Fairy did not reply to the Palace Master's words. Instead, she shifted her gaze outside the Giant Shield City. No one knew what she was thinking.
At the same time.
Ning Yue and the others had already left the Giant Shield City.
Xie Ze led the way at the front.
In the middle were Ning Yue, Grandmaster Zhao, and Grandmaster Xing Yun.
At the back were Ba Da, Immortal Ji Mo, and the Golden Arowana King. The three of them were Pinnacle Ninth Grade Earth Sovereigns.
In order to eliminate the three remaining cultivators of the Alchemy Union, Ning Yue had practically brought along the strongest forces of the Supreme Palace.
This time, no matter what, Ning Yue was determined to eliminate the three remaining evildoers!
"How much time do we have left?"
Ning Yue asked after traveling for about five minutes.
"About half an hour."
Xie Ze replied.
Back when Xie Ze chased after Meng Quan and the others, it only took him ten minutes to go back and forth.
However, at that time, Xie Ze was able to display the strength of a Pinnacle Sky Supreme, so his speed was naturally unbelievably fast.
Now that the effects of the elixir had passed, Xie Ze could only move at the same speed as Ning Yue and the others.
Although Ning Yue and the others were already moving at their fastest speed, they still needed half an hour to reach the cave.
Ning Yue thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "A minute late could mean an additional variable. Full speed ahead!"
Whoosh!
Ning Yue and the others, who were already in a state of extreme speed, increased their speed once again.
The originally half-hour journey was forcefully shortened by Ning Yue and the others to 20 minutes.
"Is that the cave you were talking about?"
In a dense bush, Ning Yue pointed at the cave entrance in the distance that could only accommodate one person and asked in bewilderment.
The reason why Ning Yue was puzzled was not because of the small size of the cave.
It was because Ning Yue did not find any arrays around the cave entrance!
According to Xie Ze, there were a total of two arrays at the cave entrance. One was left by the experts inside the cave, and the other was left by him.
