If they had captured Miao Yi beforehand and not leaked the news, then they could have secretly arrested him later on. Then, there wouldn't have been such a commotion. However, Miao Yi 'encountered an assassination attempt' and ran away. Not only did Miao Yi escape on his own, he also decisively released a fake news to let his subordinates escape as well. Then, he ran into the Pavilion of Trustworthiness's large-scale arrest attempt. With this escape and capture, the situation escalated.
This was a sudden and unexpected incident. It was out of everyone's expectations. Even Miao Yi himself didn't expect it to happen.
From Miao Yi to the Pavilion of Trustworthiness, then to the Celestial Court, it was all a last-minute response.
Miao Yi didn't even know such a drastic change had occurred in the phantom market. He was still in a hurry to escape. It wouldn't have been scary if there were only two pursuers. What was scary was that there were a dozen more black-clothed men chasing after them. They surpassed the two pursuers and rapidly closed the distance between them and Miao Yi's group.
Miao Yi couldn't care less. He threw out Charcoal, who was clad in a ferocious armor. The three of them quickly put on their armor. Charcoal carried the three of them as they flew. The three of them took out their Transcendence Bows and fired three arrows in a row.
This time, nine beams of light suddenly shot out. However, the attack did not form a certain scale, so it was not effective against the pursuing enemies. More than a dozen men in black took out their shields and blocked the attack. After a slight delay, they quickly rushed forward again.
Seeing that the situation was dire, an angry roar came from afar. "Where do you think you're going?!"
The black-clothed men turned to look and were shocked to see twelve Celestial Court generals in red armor rushing towards them with swords and spears in their hands. Behind them were over a thousand purple-armored generals.
Miao Yi and the others were overjoyed. They didn't expect reinforcements from the Celestial Court to come to their rescue.
Little did they know that it was because of his' great contribution 'that Master Qing had specially ordered for him to be taken care of. The Governor overseeing this place didn't dare to make a mistake and urgently dispatched a group of powerful troops to help.
Seeing that Miao Yi and the others were in a critical situation, and that they might miss the Governor's orders, the general in charge waved his hand. Over a thousand purple-armored generals immediately took out their Transcendence Bows. Over a thousand beams of light shot out to rescue them.
The two black-clothed men who had been tailing them were shot full of holes. Their screams reverberated through the air.
Amidst the rumbling explosions, more than ten black-clothed men held up their shields to resist, and a few of them were sent flying. Some were immediately blasted apart by the meteor arrows, while others were riddled with holes and died a horrible death. There were also a few who actually managed to withstand the first wave of attacks with their shields. They didn't care about their pursuers behind them, and charged towards Miao Yi and the others with all their might. He was prepared to use her as a hostage to escape.
Miao Yi hurriedly kept Charcoal away, and a red orb abruptly expanded in size. With a loud clang, it immediately protected the three of them within it, and urgently locked down the Indestructible Defense.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Unbreakable was sent flying. The attacking black-robed men were shocked. What the hell was this?
Even Miao Yi and the others, who were hiding inside Indestructible, were badly shaken.
Another wave of Meteor Arrows flew over, and the black-clothed men once again swung their shields to block them. The twelve red-armored generals charged over as well. They quickly joined forces to surround and fight. With the help of the Meteor Arrows, it didn't take long for the remaining black-clothed men to be killed.
Looking through the gap in Unbreakable, Miao Yi and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They unlocked Unbreakable, flipped it open, and put it away. The three of them cupped their fists to thank the reinforcements that had rushed over.
Soon after, the three of them changed into their own Heavenly Court battle armor, and followed the group back.
The three of them didn't return to the phantom city, but gathered the troops of the Black Tiger Banner and the Blue Tiger Banner in the mountains near the phantom city. With such an incident, the higher-ups had no choice but to order this group of people who had already been exposed to retreat. They would make arrangements for the other matters later.
In the end, only about six thousand of the troops of the two banners returned, and another four thousand were lost. Tao Yuanlang's troop of a thousand troops was almost completely annihilated because they didn't receive the news in time.
In the end, under the escort of the rescue troops from before. Miao Yi led the remnants of his troops to retreat.
"Miss, the Master has ordered us to begin the second round of revenge. He wants us to retreat and hide for now!"
Inside the cabin, Cao Fengchi bit her lip. She looked at the chaotic phantom city with a face full of grief and indignation. The old man in green walked to her side and advised her helplessly.
The bow of the ship turned around, and the waves calmly drifted away.
Inside the phantom city's Main Town Manor, the courtyard was filled with swords and spears. Ming Tian, who was under the command of the Left Preceptor, stood on the steps in front of the hall, wearing a five-segmented general's battle armor. The Main Town Lord stood cautiously to the side, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Outside, a general strode in with several people. He stood at the bottom of the steps, cupped his fists, and reported, "Reporting to the Governor, the statistics are out. Three hundred and twelve of our brothers died in battle, and a total of twelve thousand and seven members of the Pavilion of Integrity were eliminated!"
Standing with his hands behind his back, Ming Tian's lips curled into a smile. He already knew the statistics from Niu Youde's side. Including the three hundred people who died on his side, they had lost a total of nearly four thousand people. However, the price paid by the Pavilion of Integrity was obviously much higher, more than twelve thousand people!
These twelve thousand people were not ordinary people. It was not that these people were very powerful, but these people usually hid themselves very deeply. It was difficult for the Heavenly Court to find them even if they wanted to. They were the key to the Pavilion of Integrity's control of the phantom city. But this time, so many people were drawn out, and more than twelve thousand people were killed. This was a big blow to the Pavilion of Integrity.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore …
'There's an Inn'. Several guests came out of the room and strolled upstairs.
Two waiters on the key floor of the inn reached out to stop them, "Guests, this place is not open to guests. Please go back!"
Who knew that without saying a word, several people raised their hands and cut off the heads of the two waiters with lightning speed. Then, they quickly rushed to the room at the end of the corridor. Coincidentally, Gu Duogui opened the door to see what was going on. The two sides quickly fought.
Gu Duogui couldn't stand that the other side came prepared, and their strength was also far better than him. Moreover, they joined hands to besiege him. Gu Duogui finally fell into a pool of blood, staring at the murderer with his lifeless eyes, and his body was still twitching. A cold light flashed, and Gu Duogui's head flew out …
The same thing happened not only in 'There's an Inn'. More than ten different shops in the phantom city were attacked almost at the same time. The movement alarmed the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to rush over. But this time, the murderers learned their lesson. Their clothes were different, and they were no longer obviously black. Once they mixed into the phantom city, they disappeared without a trace.
The thirteen points arranged by the Right Department of the Supervisory Department in the phantom city were all destroyed. There were also a few points secretly arranged by the Heavenly Court to avoid the Right Department of the Supervisory Department. All of them were gone. Originally, the Pavilion of Integrity only planned to attack a part of them, and prepared to let the other part go. But now, all of them were wiped out!
This was just a small warning. The Pavilion of Integrity was using facts to warn the Heavenly Court who was in charge here. As long as they wanted, they could make the Heavenly Court blind in the underground world at any time. After all, the underground world was not just a phantom city!
"Arrogant! What are you doing in the Right Department of the Supervisory Department? They already know your strongholds clearly. What secrets are there to talk about … "
In the Starry Hall, Lord Qing was furious, and he scolded Gao Guan.
Ming Tian, who was in the headquarters of the phantom city, quickly received the order from the higher-ups: Attack the Pavilion of Integrity, kill!
Hundreds of thousands of troops quickly surrounded the Pavilion of Integrity, but the Pavilion of Integrity was very quiet in the water.
Rumble!
Countless flowing lights and magic breaking bows directly broke the protective array of the Pavilion of Integrity. The army killed their way in, but they did not see a single person in the Pavilion of Integrity.
Outside the Pavilion of Integrity, Ming Tian, who received the report, was furious. He angrily scolded his subordinates, "Didn't you say that you had already secretly sent people to watch the Pavilion of Integrity so that not even a mosquito could fly out? Where are they? Where did they go? "
His subordinate said in fear, "We just found out that the people who were arranged in the water in the south had been killed."
"You can't do anything right, but you are good at spoiling things. You can't even watch a person. What's the use of trash like you? Men, drag him away and behead him!" Ming Tian threw down these words in anger and left. He could not help but be angry. How was he going to explain to the higher-ups later?
"Governor, please spare my life!" The general, who was instantly subdued by several people, begged for mercy in fear, but it was useless. He was dragged away and then let out a scream in the distance.
Ming Tian, who strode into the Pavilion of Integrity, stopped in the hall. He saw a pile of magic breaking bows and meteor arrows on the floor of the hall. When the troops and horses attacked, they were piled up here, as if they were for them to see. The people below were counting.
After the result, his subordinate general came forward to report, "Governor, the number of magic breaking bows matches the number of the spies that our Left Supervisor planted in the Ghost City was killed."
Ming Tian was stunned, "Not a single one is missing?"
The general said, "Yes! Not a single one is missing. All of them are here. "
Ming Tian frowned and quickly reported.
In the Star Hall of the Heavenly Palace, Qing Zhu, who was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, was also stunned when he received the news. His anger gradually disappeared, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
The Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness had made their attitude clear. They were telling Master Qing that it was he who had crossed the line, and the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness had never crossed the line. Even now, they had still returned the bow they had seized. This time, they would admit defeat. You'd better not force us!
In fact, the Pavilion of Integrity had also shown their strength. You are in the light, and we are in the dark. You can't kill us all, and we have the ability to blind all the eyes of the Heavenly Court in the underground world at any time. Getting rid of those dozens of points is for you to see!
The furious Qing Zhu gradually calmed down. In comparison, he did not suffer a loss this time. The Pavilion of Integrity had suffered more losses than the Heavenly Court.
The most important thing was that he could not completely fall out with the Xiahou Clan. Otherwise, he would not have gone easy on them previously. The Xiahou Clan knew his background very well!
After walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, Qing Zhu turned around and said to Shangguan Qing, who was standing at the side with his hands behind his back, "Inform the Ghost City to retreat!"
Soon, a large number of people gathered at the Ghost City. Under everyone's gaze, they left the Ghost City and flew away from Dang Yin Mountain.
After confirming that the Heavenly Court's people had really left, a group of people appeared at the Pavilion of Integrity a few hours later. The members of the Pavilion of Integrity had returned.
Cao Man was strolling around her messy room when the old man in green pushed a battered man in and reported, "Boss, this is the assassin who tried to kill Niu Youde. We have already interrogated him. He was sent by the 'Green Mountain Tavern'."
