Only after he left did Wang Chong stand up from the pile of corpses behind the bonfire. Glancing in the direction the elder had left, Wang Chong leaped down the mountain.
"Mm?"
Suddenly, Wang Chong's eyes widened as he glanced at Xue Tong's headless corpse. He had been heading down the mountain, but he suddenly changed directions and flew back to Xue Tong's side. He extended his right hand and pulled out the secret tome that had been protruding from Xue Tong's chest.
This secret tome had originally been hidden in a secret place on Xue Tong's body, but the intense battle and his final fall had revealed a section of the tome.
Wang Chong had clashed with the men in black many times, but he had never found any treasures on them. These men in black had always been clean and efficient, and they never carried anything unnecessary on their bodies. For this reason, this part of the tome was extremely unique.
Wang Chong opened it, glanced at it, and immediately saw three words on the cover.
Void movement technique!
These three words caused Wang Chong's heart to tremble.
"It's this!"
Wang Chong was both surprised and delighted. This was definitely an unexpected harvest. These men in black had a mysterious background, but their martial arts were indescribably powerful. Whether it was the Fire of Ju Bi, the Fire of Mara, or the Fire of Lu Wu, they were all extremely powerful energies.
Moreover, the movement technique that these black-clothed men had recently displayed was another type of extremely mysterious martial art. Their movement techniques were extremely fast. If not for the fact that Wang Chong had comprehended the 'origin of energy' and was able to track their movements through energy, even someone of the same cultivation level as him would have already fallen for their tricks.
Most importantly, for Wang Chong, movement techniques had never been his forte. The top-notch movement techniques that these black-clothed men had recently displayed had practically surpassed most of the techniques in the world, and had also perfectly complemented Wang Chong's deficiencies.
Moreover, under the current situation of Qi Deviation, this secret art could also increase Wang Chong's ability to escape and survive in all kinds of situations.
Wang Chong's heart skipped a beat and he quickly kept the "Void Escaping Technique" book.
There was chaos in the night, and shouts could be heard incessantly.
Wang Chong ran down the mountain, encountering many men in black and disciples of the Zhengqi League along the way. Taking advantage of the cover of the night, Wang Chong didn't alert anyone and quickly ran all the way to the foot of the mountain. In just a moment, he would be able to leave without attracting anyone's attention.
Screech!
Just as he was a few meters away from the foot of the mountain, a shrill cry suddenly rang out from the sky. This shrill cry was extremely ear-piercing and abrupt. Wang Chong's heart skipped a beat and he abruptly raised his head. High up in the sky, he saw a huge black shadow gliding past him with its wings spread open.
— — It was a giant black eagle!
The stars were dim in the night, but Wang Chong could clearly see that the eyes of the giant eagle were as sharp as a hawk's. They were like two stars that emitted a dazzling light. The Eagle's gaze was looking down, and it kept circling around the mountain as if searching for something.
"Buzz!"
In that instant, Wang Chong's expression froze, and a strong sense of fear rose in his heart.
"This is what the black-clothed men are using to target me!"
It was completely instinctive, and Wang Chong immediately understood. There was no fighting on the outskirts of the mountain, and there was no need for the Eagle to stand guard there. There was no doubt that the Eagle was being used to prevent people from leaving the mountain. Even in the middle of a fierce battle, these black-clothed men had not let down their guard. They had arranged for the Eagle to keep an eye on the surroundings in advance.
Wang Chong had a feeling that while the three bamboo hat men, especially their leader, were fiercely battling with Song Yuanyi, the moment they were exposed, they would immediately abandon Song Yuanyi and come for him.
"Hualala!"
As he was thinking, he heard a sound nearby. Wang Chong turned his head and saw a boulder rolling down the mountain. It seemed like it had been blown down by the shockwaves from the battle on the mountain. Screech! A shrill cry came from the sky. It was the Eagle!
Almost at the same time, a black blast of Stellar Energy surged forth like a bolt of lightning. It violently struck a boulder that was tumbling down the mountain and exploded it into pieces.
"Buzz!"
Wang Chong looked in the direction of the Stellar Energy and saw a black-clothed man quickly drawing back his palm, apparently having also noticed that it was a boulder. The black-clothed man quickly retreated, his eyes warily gazing at the mountain. Wang Chong's heart sank at this sight.
Wang Chong took advantage of this moment to scan his surroundings. This time, Wang Chong immediately noticed a few details that he had not noticed before.
At the base of the mountain, around thirty to forty meters from the foot of the mountain, a group of black-clothed men stood motionless.
Even though the battle on the mountain was fierce, they had no intention of joining the fray. They stood guard at various places around the mountain range, constantly looking around vigilantly. Any movement in the wind or grass would attract their attention.
What these people were paying attention to had nothing to do with the battle!
The eagle in the sky and the black-clothed men on the ground … In an instant, Wang Chong's heart sank. The black-clothed man's guard against him was tight to the extreme. If he wanted to leave without alerting anyone, it would not be as easy as he imagined it to be.
"This is a little troublesome!"
Wang Chong frowned secretly. With his current ability, he could, of course, force a breakthrough and quickly break out of the encirclement. However, if he did so, Song Yuanyi, the leader of the black-clothed men who had transformed into a golden giant would probably notice him. The same would be true for the other black-clothed men.
It would not be easy to get rid of them so easily.
"Looks like I have to think of another way."
Wang Chong thought to himself as countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Although the black-clothed men had set up a blockade in advance, it was not that there was no way for Wang Chong to leave. It would just be a little more troublesome.
Swoosh!
As Wang Chong hid himself and began to think, he was suddenly alarmed. A shrill sound, as soft as the buzz of a mosquito, came from behind him. Bzzz! Wang Chong stepped forward, leaving a blur in his wake as he immediately dodged to the side.
Ding!
A silver needle around seven inches long, as thin as a cow's hair, brushed past Wang Chong, sinking into the rock in front of Wang Chong. The hard rock was as brittle as tofu in front of the fine needle.
"Young Master Qingyang, where are you planning to go?"
At this moment, a sinister and familiar voice came from behind him. Not far behind Wang Chong was Ji Andu, dressed in a black robe, his right shoulder and sleeve still stained with blood. He was sinisterly staring at Wang Chong. His eyes were as sinister as those of a venomous snake.
"Young Master Ji, what are you doing?"
Wang Chong took two steps back and looked at Ji Andu in 'surprise'.
"Hmph, stop pretending. From the first day I saw you, I sensed that there was something strange about you. Although I don't know what's going on, you're definitely not some Young Master Qingyang. Also … you were the one who ambushed me on the summit, weren't you?! "
Ji Andu clenched his teeth, his eyes seething with killing intent.
This night raid by the men in black had been completely inexplicable, especially that 'black-clothed assassin'. He had inexplicably attracted a group of men in black to attack him, and then he had completely vanished. If not for the Blood Escape Art of the evil path, he would have already died on the mountain.
And when he reached the base of the mountain and realized that the three bamboo hat men were still being guarded, Ji Andu had no choice but to return to the mountain and hide.
But after thinking it over, Ji Andu realized that the only person in the entire Zhengqi League who would dare to ambush him like this and who had the motive to do so was that 'Young Master Qingyang'.
"Protector Ji, I don't know what you're talking about. Your misunderstanding of me is far too deep!"
Wang Chong said as he stared at Ji Andu.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you know or not. This time, no one can save you. I'd like to see just how long you can pretend in front of me!"
Ji Andu coldly said, his eyes seething with killing intent.
Bang!
Ji Andu suddenly stepped forward, his robes and long hair fiercely dancing in the wind. As Wang Chong watched, an energy far stronger than before erupted from his body. Unlike before, this energy was extremely dark and sinister, exuding an indescribable evil. Moreover, Wang Chong could smell an intense stench of blood from it.
"This is …!"
Wang Chong was startled, and then he seemed to realize something.
"Hmph! Ever since I joined the Zhengqi League and became a disciple of the righteous path, Song Yuanyi strictly forbade me from using this technique. But he can't even take care of himself right now, so I'd like to see who can do anything to you. It's none of your business. Whether it's the real Young Master Qingyang or the fake Young Master Qingyang, all of you can turn into desiccated corpses! "
Ji Andu's face was covered in black energy, his expression savage.
Boom!
Before Wang Chong could respond, Ji Andu's body exploded with black energy, and then a black sun suddenly appeared behind him. It exuded a majestic attractive force, causing the surrounding sand and stones to fly into the air as streams of energy began to revolve around Ji Andu.
Crack! With a crisp sound, even a nearby millstone-sized rock and the firewood around it were lifted into the air by Ji Andu's attractive force.
"What is this!?"
Wang Chong couldn't help but widen his eyes. Ji Andu's energy gave him a familiar feeling. It was somewhat similar to the Little Yinyang Art, but even more powerful. It was similar to the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, but Wang Chong's Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art could not create this illusion of a black sun.
"Just what is he cultivating?!"
