The Return Ambush
"What do you mean you can't tell? These girls are all natural?"
The Great Sage half-squatted and rested one arm on his knee like a rascal. His fiery eyes shone brightly as he scratched his head with his left hand.
"That's impossible! You've learned thirty percent of my Fiery Eyes of Truth. If you can't tell, you're an embarrassment to my Fiery Eyes of Truth. "
For some reason, Ye Zichen regretted bringing the Great Sage around the Modern Realm.
He'd developed this habit back then. Back then, the two of them didn't do much other than crouch on the streets and watch the girls pass by.
"I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about the demons."
Ye Zichen sighed, then turned to the Great Sage.
"I used my Fiery Eyes of Truth to identify them, but I couldn't see their true forms at all."
"Perhaps it's because your Fiery Eyes of Truth haven't reached perfection yet." As he spoke, the Great Sage pulled out a secret manual from somewhere and placed it in Ye Zichen's hands. "We're brothers and sisters. Here's the rest of the Fiery Eyes of Truth manual."
The Fiery Eyes of Truth were definitely the Great Sage's specialty, but the fact that he'd handed over the entire manual to Ye Zichen without the slightest hesitation showed just how deep their friendship was.
Ye Zichen patted the Great Sage's shoulder, and the Great Sage grinned. At that moment, Murong Xue and the others arrived …..
"Monkey."
Murong Xue ran over, giggling. When he saw her, the Great Sage seemed somewhat afraid.
He instinctively scooted closer to Ye Zichen, not wanting to get too close to Murong Xue.
This was the first time Ye Zichen had seen the Great Sage scared.
"What are you running for? It's not like I'm going to eat you." Murong Xue pursed her lips, and her eyes flashed with displeasure. "How boring. Alright, alright, don't be afraid. In the future, even if you want me to come looking for you, I won't. "
As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Wei Jie and the others.
Upheaval's members were gathered in twos and threes. For some reason, they sensed something amiss. Then they saw Murong Xue smile and approach them.
"You're Platoon Leader Ye's friends, right?"
Regiment Commander Ye?
Wei Jie and the others were stunned, but they quickly understood that the "Platoon Commander Ye" she was referring to was undoubtedly Ye Zichen.
After hesitating for a while, Wei Jie nodded. When Murong Xue saw this, a faint smile appeared on her face. She moved closer mysteriously.
"I heard that Commander Ye has a faction under the Sacred Mountain. What faction is it?"
Alright!
It had been so long, but Murong Xue's gossipy soul had yet to be extinguished.
At the mention of the Lower Lands, Wei Jie and the others couldn't help but reveal proud expressions.
"We are Chaos …"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Before he'd even finished speaking, Ye Zichen covered Wei Jie's mouth and glared at him. "You're just a subordinate faction of Upheaval. What's there to say?"
Ye Zichen looked at Murong Xue speechlessly.
"To tell you the truth, we're actually Upheaval's subordinate faction. But don't blame me. Upheaval really is powerful in the Lower Lands. For the sake of survival, we have to rely on them. I didn't tell you before because you said you didn't get along with Upheaval. I was afraid you'd hate us for being a small faction, so I didn't tell you. "
"See if I'm telling the truth!"
When Murong Xue heard that, she turned to the two golden flowers and laughed heartily. She even extended her hand.
Before long, the Appearance Association's Golden Flowers and Xue Mo took out two bags of coins and reluctantly tossed them into Murong Xue's hands.
No wonder!
No wonder Murong Xue and the others kept asking. They'd been making a bet!
Murong Xue laughed triumphantly in front of Xue Mo and the others. Ye Zichen took this opportunity to glare viciously at Wei Jie and the others.
If he'd come out in time, they would've been exposed.
Wei Jie and the others understood. They'd almost said the wrong thing just now.
Suddenly, the flying boat that was tearing through the sky slowly came to a stop.
Everyone on the airship turned to look at Jiang Yong. Pan Sheng was already setting up a spirit formation around the airship.
Murong Xue, who'd won the bet, glanced up ahead.
"What is it?"
"There seems to be something up ahead!"
Jiang Yong, who was piloting the ship, stared intently ahead. Ye Zichen took a few steps forward, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
"Great Sage."
Jiang Yong called the Great Sage over. The Great Sage's eyes flashed with golden light as he looked ahead.
After a few breaths of time, the Great Sage's pupils constricted.
"Retreat!"
Jiang Yong didn't doubt him. He immediately piloted the ship backward. Not long after they flew out, dozens of figures soared into the sky from the original flying ship. Behind them was a chaos that was a thousand feet wide, and there seemed to be a person sitting in that chaos.
"Are they demons?"
Ye Zichen's fiery eyes couldn't discern the attackers' true identities, but given that they'd ambushed them, there was an eighty percent chance they were demons.
As expected, when Ye Zichen asked, the Great Sage nodded solemnly.
Everyone's hearts went cold. Being able to fly meant they had a certain level of understanding of heaven and earth. They were at least seventh-stage sky supremes.
From the looks of it, there were around forty of them, and only eight of them were seventh-stage or higher.
"How far are we from Skyspan City?" asked Ye Zichen.
"We're close. If we fly at top speed, we'll be there in a dozen or so minutes."
Jiang Yong furrowed his brows. At that moment, the retreating ship seemed to bump into something. When they looked back, they didn't see any ancient mountains or trees.
"Pan Sheng."
He glanced at Pan Sheng, who reached out and placed his hand on the barrier, only to shake his head.
"Can't you break it?" asked Jiang Yong.
"I can, but I'll need a lot of time to analyze the formation's structure, as well as where the formation's eyes and foundation stones are. By the time I find them, the demons up ahead will have long since caught up. "
Pan Sheng's gaze was solemn. Everyone's expressions were unsightly.
Xue Mo spoke up as well, "Doesn't that mean we can only charge out from the front?"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Pan Sheng was a formation master himself. He really wanted to give them hope, but from a professional standpoint, he had no choice but to give them the truest answer. It was also the one they didn't want to hear.
"A formation can't just seal off one direction. Right now, we're completely trapped here. There's no way out."
