The black flood dragon broke through the seal and rushed out. It roared furiously in the air, expressing its dissatisfaction. It spat out a white ball in the air.
Pan Xuan and ten others immediately set up a defensive line, but it was destroyed by the enemy, leaving a huge hole in the ground.
The flood dragon charged and instantly appeared in the crowd. It swung its tail and quickly swept half a circle. The dozens of people couldn't withstand the attack and were sent flying while vomiting blood.
Two peak Asuras were pestering Bee, not allowing it to cause trouble.
Ding Xiao shouted and jumped close to the flood dragon. Just as he was about to make a move, he was grabbed by the flood dragon and thrown out. A human-shaped hole appeared in the wall in the distance.
At this moment, it could be said that no one could stop the flood dragon.
In just two short attacks, this group of people had been crippled.
The flood dragon was preparing for its second attack. A black flame appeared on its body.
Just as everyone was in despair, a ray of light appeared in the dark sky. A huge hand descended from the sky and grabbed the black flood dragon.
The entire space began to shake and some stars began to fall.
The flood dragon began to struggle with all its might. It spat out white flames on the huge hand.
The sharp teeth and claws in its mouth couldn't even leave a mark on the hand.
The terrifying flames on the flood dragon were extinguished. The flood dragon was like a child in the hands of the huge hand. It couldn't resist at all.
The huge hand suddenly clenched. The flood dragon let out a sorrowful cry and turned into a cloud of smoke.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't know where the huge hand came from.
"What are you waiting for? Come out quickly." A familiar voice sounded from above.
It was the voice of the Right Protector. A crack had been forcefully torn open by the battle above.
Everyone was overjoyed. They quickly brought their companions and escaped through the crack.
Everyone came out in a sorry state. The few peak Asuras in the lead all lowered their heads. They didn't dare to face the Right Protector.
At this moment, the black cloth was completely twisted. The projected formation was destroyed violently. Even the edge of the formation cracked. The black cloth turned into a cloud of smoke and returned to the tower.
Pan Xuan also walked to the Right Protector with guilt. She lowered her head and said apologetically,
"Sorry, Right Protector, we messed up."
Just now, Pan Xuan did a rough count. Jin Xian had lost ten people in the middle stage, while Jin Xian had lost five people in the late stage. The rest were all injured.
It could be said that this was a losing battle. On the other hand, other than using up too much Immortal Qi, the other party was completely fine.
At this moment, the Right Protector was carefully observing the shield of the stone tower, trying to find some flaws. Hearing this, he said, "Don't worry too much. It's our fault for being too impatient. I was the one who objected to bringing you guys here. It's our fault for not thinking things through."
Pan Xuan thought that the Right Protector was gentler and not as hot-tempered as the Left Protector.
"Could it be that you've already won and the other side has been dealt with by us?" Only then did Pan Xuan remember that the protector had suddenly appeared here. Didn't that mean that they had already won?
"No, I just came here secretly. Luckily, I came in time or there would be more deaths. That flood dragon isn't something you guys can deal with now. But I can't waste too much time. She'll notice something is wrong." The Right Protector turned around.
Only now did Pan Xuan notice that there were three deep claw marks on his chest. Even now, there was still blood flowing out of the wounds. Just the aura left on them made Pan Xuan feel like an ancient giant bear was in front of her. It was waving its claws at her. That deep aura was imprinted in her heart.
The Right Protector looked at Pan Xuan's situation and gently placed his hand on Pan Xuan's shoulder. A strand of energy entered her body.
Pan Xuan shuddered and walked out of the illusion. She patted her chest with lingering fear. If it weren't for the protector, she would have been killed by the giant bear's phantom. It was too terrifying.
"I didn't think it through. Tell everyone to leave and return to Puppet Town. Leave this to me. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave later." The Right Protector wiped his chest. No one could see that there was a wound on his chest.
"Yes, Lord Right Protector." Most of them didn't have any combat strength left. There was no point in staying here. It was better to go back.
Pan Xuan came in front of everyone and told them what the Right Protector said.
The group of people retreated along the path and began to evacuate slowly.
She didn't tell everyone what she saw just now.
Along the way, she was thinking about who the other party was. He was so powerful that even the two protectors couldn't take him down. Also, the Right Protector's face was full of fear and there was that giant bear.
In the stone tower, Elder Qin looked at the other party with a serious face. Of course, he could guess that the other party must have used some method to sneak over without Elder Xiong knowing.
He saw the other party's bloody wound clearly. But they couldn't stop the other party's attack.
Maybe the other party would break the barrier and warn Elder Xiong. But even if Elder Xiong only needed a minute to come back, he would still have to force his way back under the other party's interference.
But how much time would the other party need to break the barrier? It was enough for him to crush them back and forth a few times and still have time to escape.
But there was nothing he could do. Unless his former companions suddenly appeared in front of him, they could rely on numbers to temporarily resist.
The Qin couple knew that they were all recuperating inside, but they didn't know the situation and didn't know how to inform them. Otherwise, they would have to wait for them to come out and get through this crisis.
Seeing that the other party had already started to accumulate power, it was a pity that there was nothing they could do.
A beam of white light shot out from the other party's hand and struck the light screen. The light screen trembled, and ripples appeared on the light screen.
The next beam of white light struck again. Suddenly, a tall and muscular man appeared beside him. He raised a barrier around the stone tower. Although the barrier was pierced, it still managed to reduce the power of the white light barrier by half, and the barrier did not disappear.
In the distance, when the Right Protector attacked for the first time, an angry roar sounded. He was shocked and sensed that the stone tower was being attacked.
Following the appearance of the muscular man, a few black figures appeared beside him. Suddenly, there were two more terrifying auras. Elder Qin looked to the side. There was a mid-stage Grand Luo and two early-stage Grand Luo.
Although the Right Protector was injured, these people weren't enough to deal with him. But if they were purely defending, it wouldn't be a problem for them to hold on for a while.
A shield that looked like a stone flew out from the barrier. It actually ignored the barrier.
It landed and turned into a huge shield to protect the front. The surface of the shield flashed and the Right Protector's white light arrived as expected.
"Boom!" There were three loud sounds and huge waves swept out.
Especially the last sound was the loudest. It caused the barrier to flicker and almost collapse.
The Right Protector looked fiercely at the opposite side. He didn't expect that there were hidden experts in the stone tower.
He first let Pan Xuan and the others advance a little. When he estimated that it was about time, he made his move. This delay was probably noticed by the other party and left him less time.
Seeing that his attacks were ineffective, he knew that it would be difficult for him to kill the other party in such a short time. However, he received news that the other party had reinforcements in the tower. It could be considered as consolation for his ineffective attacks.
Fortunately, he sneaked back. Otherwise, his clansmen might all die here because of his mistake.
If such a thing happened, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
Just as the Right Protector retreated, a brutal aura came from afar.
In the next second, a figure directly appeared in front of the stone tower. A hurricane blew past and directly destroyed the barrier of the stone tower.
Fortunately, the people inside directly put up a barrier. Otherwise, this hurricane might have killed half of the people. After all, many of them had low cultivation.
Elder Xiong saw that there were no other problems here and sighed in relief.
"Welcome out." Elder Xiong looked at them and suddenly smiled. The battle just now didn't cause her any harm.
"We came out because the situation was urgent. We were almost too late." One of them sighed.
"It's okay. It's not like nothing happened. Elder Xiong won't mind. Besides, the barrier was turned off by Elder Xiong in the end." Another person laughed.
Because he was seriously corroded before, he barely escaped from there. As soon as he came out, he was ready to die. He didn't expect the appearance of the stone tower to save his life.
"Hey, isn't this Bo Yun? That's great. He's not dead yet. When I didn't see him in there, I was sad for a long time."
"Stop fooling around. Be careful when you interact with Bo Yun. His friend You Xing has been sacrificed. He's not in a good mood now." Elder Qin said.
He was afraid that when Bo Yun woke up, he would still be laughing and joking. If he dared to make fun of Bo Yun, he would probably have to fight first before the civil war started.
"What! That You Xing kid is dead. I know. Elder Qin, I will be careful. " He said with a shocked face. He knew what You Xing meant to Bo Yun. If he said anything, Bo Yun would really fight him to the death.
"Okay, okay. Stop fooling around." Elder Xiong said after checking. "While the other party retreats, we have to seize the opportunity. They already know that there are people in the stone tower. The next time they come will probably be the final battle. The other party won't let us escape so easily."
Xiong Lai released all the people in the stone tower, except for a few who were still in seclusion.
"Now, everyone will rest for two days. Then, we will start moving according to the plan." Elder Xiong directly ordered.
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
A handkerchief shot out from Elder Xiong's sleeve and flew up. Soon, a huge wave of water began to surge around the stone tower. This was used to block any observation by the other party.
Unless they came in person, no one could use any method to see the situation inside before the construction was completed. It was like a fog shrouding the place.
On the drill ground, everyone saw that everyone had returned. Everyone was injured and their morale was very low. It seemed that they had suffered a miserable defeat.
Everyone also knew the details of what happened later. Especially when they were sucked into the formation diagram. The power of the flood dragon shocked everyone.
Everyone's face changed when they talked about it. They hadn't forgotten it until now.
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that very few of their companions were sacrificed this time. It was also thanks to the Right Protector's timely intervention.
Gu Zheng saw that Pan Xuan also had many wounds on her body. Worry flashed through his eyes. He quickly realized that something was wrong with him.
Pan Xuan was really good to him. Although he couldn't accept it, he wasn't a cold-hearted person. He didn't even see that he had given her such a precious defense because he didn't want her to be hurt.
He had always treated her as a friend and subconsciously wanted to check on her condition. However, he knew that things were bad in the blink of an eye. He immediately shifted his gaze and pretended to discuss today's matter with Mo Xiaofan.
Pan Xuan, who was tidying up with her head lowered, suddenly felt a familiar gaze. She could feel the connection from it.
Someone was worried about her. She quickly raised her head and looked around. She didn't find anything unusual.
However, she was happy because she felt his worry. This proved that she still had a place in his heart.
However, she immediately felt disappointed. The other party was hiding. This could only mean that the rumors outside weren't groundless. It was very likely that he was an enemy.
However, many of her clansmen had died in front of her. She really didn't know what to do. Should she report it to the protector?
Pan Xuan believed that he couldn't avoid the protector's careful inspection.
However, she still couldn't let go of him in her heart.
For a moment, Pan Xuan's heart was worried about her gains and losses.
Soon, the person in charge came and arranged for everyone to disperse. Those who were more seriously injured would naturally be taken care of by others.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. It had been a long time since the previous incident. Now, most of the time, everyone was meditating and adjusting their condition.
These days, Gu Zheng stayed alone in the tavern. He would stay here every day if he had nothing to do. Similarly, there were many people who chose to stay with him.
During this time, he, Su Nan, and Zhu Feng had discussed it a few times. However, the protector hadn't appeared since the last time he came back. They didn't have a good idea and could only continue to wait for the right opportunity.
They also discussed that there was no need to take the risk now. Because no matter what the protector thought, he would definitely bring most of the people with him.
Because a month ago, a huge red light suddenly appeared on the enemy's base. Moreover, the enemy's concealment failed. Everyone could clearly see a huge red circle floating in the air.
The red circle was like a huge whirlpool. It kept rotating slowly. Thick smoke fell from the sky and entered the circle's periphery. It kept increasing the red circle's energy.
It was absorbing the free energy in the sky. Everyone could feel the spatial fluctuations coming from it.
It seemed like the enemy didn't want to escape through the teleportation array. Instead, they wanted to build their own teleportation array.
But where did they get the materials? One had to know that building a teleportation array required a huge amount of materials. That was something that made everyone's heart ache.
Even if you sold a peak Grand Heavenly Realm, you might not be able to exchange for so many materials.
No matter what, everyone knew that the final battle was imminent. With every passing day, the enemy would accumulate more energy.
No one knew when it would be activated and allow those people to escape successfully.
At this moment, the two protectors had just finished their discussion. They gathered all the people above the peak Jin Xian to discuss the work they were going to do.
There wasn't much to do. They quickly finished talking and asked them to leave.
They simply told them to put down their work and not be distracted by anything. They had to do their best to wait for a month.
Gu Zheng felt a figure sitting beside him. He didn't care and continued to pour the wine in his hand.
"Long Tian, don't you feel bored drinking alone every day?" Su Nan sat beside him and joked.
But in reality, she was transmitting to him what she just heard.
"Something big has happened. Just now, the protector found us and asked us to prepare for the battle with all our might. A month later, there will be a great battle."
"Other than this hobby, I don't have any other interests. I have the time to drink today. I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future." Gu Zheng finished the wine in his hand and said.
"What's going on? Did something unexpected happen?"
"Come, come. I haven't drunk with you in a long time. I'll accompany you today." Su Nan took out an ice cup and a bottle of good wine from her collection.
"More or less. Let me tell you what happened just now. You'll understand why I'm so anxious."
On the surface, Gu Zheng and Su Nan began to chat and laugh. From time to time, they would discuss interesting things from their travels.
They looked like old friends catching up.
But in private, Su Nan quickly told Gu Zheng everything.
Gu Zheng was shocked. Although the protector did not tell them too much, these words were enough for Gu Zheng to understand some things.
It turned out that the protector had also noticed the other party's movements. The two of them even went to investigate. Although they were stopped by Old Xiong, they were able to see through the other party's thoughts. They understood the other party's intentions.
If the other party was not hiding their strength, they could basically know everything about the other party.
The teleportation array was not supported by any material, but by colorful roots. These roots floated in the air, and thin red lines shot out from them. They shot into the array below the stone tower, and with the help of the stone tower's special properties, they directly projected something.
It seemed to be a one-time item, but they were all tightly protected beside the stone tower. There was a Grand Heavenly Immortal standing guard at every distance.
Moreover, the protector also found that the other party had more Grand Heavenly Immortals. They even found a late-stage Grand Heavenly Immortal.
Gu Zheng did not expect Old Xiong to have so many hidden experts. Were they all old monsters from the past? Why would the Old Ancestor let them live until now?
Regardless, the increase in their strength had greatly increased their chances of escaping. Compared to his initial ignorant plan, it was simply incomparable.
However, the protector made it clear that the other party would need at least two months to accumulate enough energy for the first teleportation. On the other hand, their reinforcements would only need a month at most.
