"Father!" Seeing Young Master Tianqing and the rest leave, Shangguan Tong hurried forward and called out softly.
Shangguan Chen did not reply. His face was terrifyingly pale as he stared blankly in the direction where Young Master Tianqing and the rest had left.
The grey-robed elder, Zheng Yu, and the rest were the same. Everyone's body was stiff and icy cold. Their vision turned black and their faces were as pale as the dead.
The air froze and squeezed everyone's chests, making it difficult for them to breathe. The surroundings were deathly silent. It was as though everyone had stopped breathing and their hearts were beating. They could not make a single sound.
After a long time!
Shangguan Chen opened his mouth with difficulty as though he wanted to say something. However, he could only open his mouth in the end and could not utter a single word.
Hopeless!
This was a true hopeless situation!
Although Young Master Tianqing was intimidated by the Lord Inspector and the rules of the Water Cloud Holy Land, and was temporarily scared away by his words, he and the others had only managed to buy some time for themselves. In reality, the danger had not been resolved at all.
Originally, he should be the one to produce the so-called 'evidence' and should be the one to take the initiative. However, with the arrival of Young Master Tianqing, the Golden Roc Trading Company, Windward Formation Guild, Qing Gang, He Family, Sun Family, and the rest of the nine parties had reversed their positions.
Once the Patrol arrived at Red Rock City, Young Master Tian Qing and the others would be able to produce a total of 10,000 pieces of 'evidence' to prove that they had massacred the Golden Roc Trading Company, the Windstorm Formation Association, the Green Gang, the He Clan, the Sun Clan, and the other nine parties. Moreover, even though the Patrol was upright and plainspoken, he had a fiery temper. He would most likely believe Young Master Tian Qing and the others and angrily order them to be executed in public!
Now, in the face of Young Master Tianqing's absolute strength, the only way to save themselves was to rely on external forces. For example, the Holy Son Xu Feiyang who had always supported them. However, Young Master Tianqing had already predicted this and sealed off the entire Red Rock City. How could they rely on external forces?
Their chances of survival were slim!
It could even be said that there was no chance of survival!
In the face of such an outcome and the countdown to their lives, how could everyone on Shangguan Chen's side not turn ashen and pale with despair?
"My Lord, what should we do?" The grey-robed elder seemed to have exhausted all his strength as he spoke to Shangguan Chen.
"Send someone to sneak out of Red Rock City and deliver a message to Holy Son Xu!" Shangguan Chen was silent for a long time. His originally mellow voice suddenly became extremely hoarse and ear-piercing like sandpaper as he spoke.
"Yes!" The grey-robed elder's eyes dimmed when he heard Shangguan Chen's words. He then smiled bitterly.
He understood that Shangguan Chen had no other choice but to take a gamble. Although the possibility of success was almost zero, it was the only way.
"Everyone, disperse for now!" Shangguan Chen seemed to have aged 20 years in an instant. His tall and straight body suddenly bent as he spoke with difficulty. Before he finished speaking, he turned around and walked slowly into the City Governor's Mansion.
Every step he took was extremely laborious, so every step he took was extremely slow. Moreover, as he walked, his body became more and more bent. From the back, he looked like an old man with one foot in the grave.
Shangguan Tong hesitated for a moment before hurriedly following him.
"Disperse!" The grey-robed elder sighed and said. He then turned around and walked into the City Governor's Mansion.
"My Lord, we …!" Zheng Yu had followed Shangguan Chen for a few years. Therefore, when he heard Shangguan Chen speak, he immediately understood the despair and dejection in Shangguan Chen's heart. Therefore, he could not help but shout loudly. He wanted to say something to inspire Shangguan Chen's confidence to stand up again.
Unfortunately, he only managed to say a few words before his mouth was stuffed and he could not say anything.
This was because he did not know what to say at this moment!
Faced with such a desperate situation, what could they do to turn the tables?
Could they?
Not at all!
In the face of absolute power, all strategies and schemes were ultimately useless and could not withstand a single blow!
"Haha!" Suddenly, Zheng Yu laughed bitterly. His face was filled with deep despair.
"God, do you want me to die?!" Zheng Yu shouted at the sky with all his might. His voice echoed in the air for a long time and did not dissipate for a long time.
.....
Outside Red Rock City, in the primordial forest!
After the white jade tiger carried Xiao Fan out of Red Rock City, it headed in the direction where King Elixir had escaped. As King Elixir's speed was not slow, it took him two days and two nights to escape!
Xiao Fan only caught up to King Elixir at dawn on the third day. At this moment, they were thousands of miles away from Red Rock City.
"Huff!" "Huff!" "Huff!"
After running for an entire night, Xiao Fan didn't feel anything. However, the white jade tiger was extremely tired. At this moment, it had caught up to the Dan King and completed its mission. Its four limbs were facing the sky, and its scarlet tongue was sticking out of its mouth. It weakly drooped to the side. It looked like a dead pig lying there, gasping for air.
"It ran quite far!"
Xiao Fan looked at the Dragon Tiger Celestial Pill King in front of him and muttered. Then, he raised his hand and made a few alchemy techniques. Suddenly, a green light spread out from his fingertips and enveloped the Dragon Tiger Celestial Pill King in an instant.
"Weng!"
The King Elixir struggled violently in the green light as if it wanted to escape from Xiao Fan's control. However, its actions were futile. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape from the green light. As Xiao Fan withdrew his hand, it was slowly pulled towards Xiao Fan in the air. Then, Xiao Fan caught it in his hand.
King Elixir immediately became obedient after being caught by Xiao Fan and stopped moving.
"It's a pity that these twelve pills are not in perfect condition. Even if we consume all of them, the effects will not be as good as we imagined!" At this moment, the Final Magic Sword complained in a low voice in Xiao Fan's body. "It's all the fault of the old man in that brat's body. If not for them, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble!"
"Since things have already come to this, there's no point in complaining!" Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "Let's head to Sun Moon City after I consume ten of the twelve pills!"
"Okay!" The Final Magic Sword nodded.
After saying that, Xiao Fan lifted his feet and walked forward. He planned to find a secluded place and then start refining the ten Dragon Tiger Pills out of the twelve.
However, all of a sudden, Xiao Fan stopped in his tracks. Then, he turned his head to the left with a surprised expression.
This was because not far to his left, about a kilometer away, there was a natural waterfall. Under the waterfall was a sizable lake, and a woman was bathing in the lake.
Because Xiao Fan was standing in the wrong position, he could only see the woman's back through the gaps in the lush leaves. He could not see the woman's face.
"Damn, I can tell that this woman must be a stunning beauty just by looking at her back!" The Final Magic Sword could not help but exclaim when he saw the woman's flawless back through Xiao Fan's eyes.
Xiao Fan did not respond to the Final Magic Sword's words. Instead, he frowned and muttered, "But why do I feel that this woman's aura is somewhat familiar? It seems like I've seen her somewhere in Red Rock City recently?"
"Her aura is familiar? Have you seen her somewhere in Red Rock City recently? " The Final Magic Sword was taken aback and shrugged. "Boss, Red Rock City is only so big. Furthermore, most of the people in the city are mortals. We've seen all the cultivators at least once!"
"Among them, who could be so far away from Red Rock City?"
"This is a primeval forest. There are countless demonic beasts in the forest. The people in Red Rock City are all very weak. I'm afraid none of them would dare to go so deep into the primeval forest!"
"So, did you sense it wrongly?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. Furthermore, you should know that my senses rarely go wrong!" Xiao Fan shook his head.
"Rarely going wrong doesn't mean that you don't make any mistakes. Who knows, maybe you sensed it wrongly this time?" The Final Magic Sword muttered softly.
"You talk too much nonsense!" Xiao Fan glared at the Final Magic Sword and said angrily.
The Final Magic Sword shrunk his head and did not say anything else.
"Forget it, boss. Let's not bother about her. This woman dares to go so far into the primeval forest and even has the time to take a bath in the dangerous primeval forest. Her background and strength must not be simple. We don't have much interaction with her, so why should we care who she is?" The Final Magic Sword shook his head and said.
"Alright, it's just that I sensed something else other than the aura on this woman's body. That's why I noticed her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered with her!" Xiao Fan nodded, but he still said with some doubt.
"Something else? What is it? "The Final Magic Sword was curious.
"Nothing, maybe I sensed it wrongly?" Xiao Fan shook his head and turned to leave.
However, at this moment!
"Hua la!"
The woman suddenly turned around in the lake. Not only did she reveal her perfect upper body, but she also revealed her true face.
Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows when he saw the woman's face from the corner of his eye. It was her!
