"You talk big. After being a rat for so many years, I didn't expect you to become a rat's nest. However, rats are rats after all. If others know about this, there is only one path for you, and that is to die without a complete corpse."
Although the Alliance Leader was a delicate and pretty lady, if she was not ruthless, she would not have led the Star Alliance to such a state. The Sect Leader could not help but mock her.
"It is still uncertain who exactly is the rat." The Sect Leader's figure suddenly rose. In the blink of an eye, she had already rushed into the air and looked down at the Alliance Leader.
"Hmph, then I will let you understand." A pure white immortal silk appeared from her sleeves and danced in front of her chest. At the same time, lotus flowers appeared under her feet. She instantly rushed into the sky and rushed towards the Sect Leader like a beautiful fairy.
When the Sect Leader saw that the other party was rushing over aggressively, she did not fight. Instead, she retreated towards the sea outside. Through those beautiful eyes, the Sect Leader could feel waves of killing intent surging out. It was like the tip of a needle, causing him to feel uncomfortable all over. He was determined to take this opportunity to kill the other party.
The Alliance Leader thought for a while and understood his thoughts. She could not help but snort coldly in her heart and quickly followed. She was also worried that the aftershocks would hurt her own people. This was very suitable for her.
The Great Elder watched as the Alliance Leader and the other party disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye. He saw that all the people on the ground were looking at him. He directly ordered, "Five or six groups, go forward. The others, start to rest and be on guard."
However, no matter what the outcome was, the Great Elder still believed in his Alliance Leader. If they started to exhaust the other party now, he believed that it was impossible for the other party to ignore them. There was no such endless array at all.
In fact, the Great Elder had already discovered that the position of those people had almost not moved. There was definitely a trick behind it. Perhaps they were strengthening the array's defense. Furthermore, the other party deliberately pretended to be indifferent to increase the pressure on his side. The Great Elder firmly believed in his judgment.
However, just after he gave the order, his heart moved. He suddenly received a voice transmission from the Alliance Leader.
He looked at the almost empty city gate in front of him. There was only a mere late stage Heaven Immortal standing there. Compared to other places, the defense of this place was very weak. However, the place where they were attacking was this place.
Logically speaking, the defense of the city gate should be the strongest, but he didn't expect that there would be such a mystery behind it. It turned out that it was to numb them and prevent them from looking here.
The elder observed for a long time, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. He helplessly looked away, and his admiration for the Alliance Master grew.
The Great Elder took out a crystal ring and gently placed it on his lips. His lips curled up slightly. He quickly arranged for Elder Mu to go in and test the waters. Only he could complete this mission perfectly.
However, the Alliance Master also said that they shouldn't force it and they should try their best not to cause any losses. Even if they didn't succeed, it didn't matter. Once he dealt with the other party's Sect Leader, they would help break through the other party's tortoise shell.
The Great Elder had warned him. If he were to lose Elder Mu because of this, the loss would outweigh the gain.
In a secluded house, Elder Mu's eyebrows twitched. After hearing the Great Elder's instructions, he didn't go out immediately. Instead, he waited at home for two days. Then, he walked out shakily with his walking stick. By the looks of it, he looked like an old man who wouldn't live for long. His aura was especially weak, and he didn't seem to be a threat at all.
At this moment, the commotion outside had subsided. After two days of investigation, they only managed to find a spy. However, many innocent people had died as well. At this moment, there were many people who were secretly monitoring the situation.
However, some of the commoners here needed to buy some things, so they had no choice but to go out. The streets hadn't been completely cleaned up yet, and large patches of blood-red stains were still around. The pungent smell of blood made everyone tremble, and they were afraid that they would accidentally be cut in half.
Elder Mu, who had turned into an old man, walked slowly on the streets. After a while, he would take a break at a corner, pretending to be exhausted.
Elder Mu could clearly sense that from the moment he came out to a place where food was sold, there were seven to eight auras that swept past him. Furthermore, there was one who was following him secretly.
Elder Mu didn't pay any attention to it. It was as though he was just an ordinary person. He didn't do anything else. After paying some money, he took half a bag of rice and returned to the old broken house. It seemed like he was just out to buy some food.
A young patroller looked at the old man and said to a senior who had been here for a longer time. "Why is there such a useless piece of trash here?"
This was the first time he had seen such a destitute person here. The others had at least a few generations of inheritance. How could they be reduced to such a state?
"Him? It's a long story. Don't ask anymore. Just continue to warn the surroundings. The higher-ups suspect that there might be someone hiding here. Be more vigilant. Don't let anyone sneak up on you." The senior patted him on the shoulder and said vaguely.
In fact, many people were suspicious just now. However, the person in charge of this place didn't say anything, so no one made a move. This old man seemed a little suspicious.
Now, they wouldn't let go of any suspicious points. They would rather kill the wrong person than let the enemy go. However, looking at the look of the person in charge, it seemed like he knew something. Hence, they were relieved.
The short man looked at an inconspicuous sign on the wall and nodded slightly. Fortunately, he was in charge of this place. Otherwise, Elder Mu would have been exposed this time. Although there were many people walking on the streets, most of them were deliberately sent out to lure potential enemies.
He didn't expect Elder Mu to be fooled so easily. However, he couldn't be blamed. If he wasn't in this position, he wouldn't have thought of it either. Because some of them were residents of this place, they walked out spontaneously. Hence, there were almost no flaws.
Moreover, no one would have thought that the people here didn't treat these people as humans at all. They were only acting like this to maintain their reputation.
However, why did Elder Mu take such a huge risk to come out at this time? He even left a message for them to gather. It seemed like he had something to do.
After patrolling for nearly a day, the short man ordered the others to continue being vigilant while he went to Gu Zheng's place.
Gu Zheng was extremely anxious. However, the owner of this place had already appeared. He was a mid-stage Heavenly Immortal. He repeatedly ordered everyone in the house not to go out before rushing out.
Now that everyone was gathered together, unless Gu Zheng killed everyone secretly, his disappearance would definitely be discovered.
In order to be safe, Gu Zheng was anxious. Like the others, he stayed together obediently. However, the short man's arrival saved him.
When Gu Zheng saw the short man's smiling face, he didn't find him as annoying as before. No matter what, the short man had brought him out of that mansion.
Who asked him to be the short man's nephew in name? Now, the short man had brought him here for safety's sake.
Gu Zheng was also feeling depressed. He thought that he could use this identity to search for Xiang Xiang as much as he wanted. Unexpectedly, this place was like a prison. He didn't even get any news of Xiang Xiang. Instead, he was trapped here.
"What's going on? Did something happen?" After arriving at the short man's residence, Gu Zheng asked. He didn't think that the short man was looking for him to free him. Something must have happened. If Gu Zheng didn't guess wrongly, the people of the Star Alliance should have arranged some tasks for them.
Gu Zheng saw the strength of the protective shield. With his own strength, he couldn't break it. Even if there were so many people from the Star Alliance, it would take a lot of time to break it.
"I'm not sure. It seems that we didn't receive any orders. Maybe it's for safety's sake. After all, in the previous battle, I'm afraid that the other party has also taken our transmission device." The short man said worriedly. He also mentioned the matter of Elder Mu.
Now, there were only four people who were known. One of them seemed to be dead. He didn't know the identities of the other two people who were hiding here.
It would be a joke if they couldn't even enter the city gate after signing up with confidence.
On a night two days later, the sky happened to be dark. Gu Zheng and the short man secretly crossed the line of defense and headed toward the old man's house.
The short man couldn't be more familiar with this place. In the past two days, he had used the excuse of patrolling around and had already figured out the terrain.
"I'll go in first. Your identity can easily cause misunderstandings. You can come in later." When Gu Zheng arrived at the small house where Elder Mu lived, Gu Zheng transmitted his voice to the short man.
The short man nodded. His figure hid in the darkness and disappeared.
Gu Zheng stealthily crept into the house. It was pitch-black inside, and he could only sense a weak aura inside. However, he couldn't see through it with his eyes. If he guessed correctly, it should be Elder Mu.
However, Gu Zheng didn't care. As soon as he stepped through the door, he felt a bright light in front of him. It was as if a sun had appeared in front of him. It was so bright that he instinctively closed his eyes. At the same time, he felt a chill on his neck. A pair of hands had already strangled his neck.
The sharp cold light made the back of his head feel cold.
"Who are you?" A deep voice rang in his ears. Gu Zheng knew that if he didn't answer properly, his neck would probably be broken in the next moment. Hence, he quickly answered. At the same time, his face changed back to his previous appearance.
"Ye Yi."
Gu Zheng felt the grip on his neck loosen. The oppressive aura also disappeared. Seeing that his vision was gradually recovering, Gu Zheng quickly opened his eyes.
Two completely unfamiliar faces appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
"Third Master Ye." Gu Zheng looked at the old man sitting in the middle with a puzzled expression. At this moment, he was sitting there in high spirits. It was completely different from the weak aura he sensed outside. Moreover, it was brightly lit here. There was a pure white bead hanging in front of him. It was this bead that had blinded his eyes and caused him to be in a trance. That was how he was subdued.
There was a completely different world here. Elder Mu had cast a small camouflage spell and even Gu Zheng was fooled.
"Yes, Ye Yi. Are you alone?" Elder Mu asked.
"No, Ye Er is with me. However, in order to prevent any misunderstandings, I came over first." Gu Zheng shook his head and pointed outside.
"In that case, hurry up and inform him to come in. This is Ye Wu. You know that Ye Liu has already sacrificed himself." Elder Mu's face darkened and he looked somewhat dejected.
Gu Zheng brought the short man back very quickly. Elder Mu also knew why he had asked Gu Zheng to come first. Even at this point, Elder Mu still couldn't believe that Ye Er was actually a small leader.
If he had come in first, Elder Mu would have killed him directly without a word. There would be no room for him to explain.
After the short man entered, he greeted Elder Mu respectfully and sat down quietly at the side. After waiting for four hours, Elder Qin finally spoke.
"It seems that they either didn't see the message or were delayed by something. Now, let me tell you about the message from the higher-ups."
It was already past the agreed time. With three days as the limit, if they didn't come, they wouldn't wait for anyone else.
Elder Mu quickly explained the problem. Although almost three days had passed, the attacks from the sky were still ongoing. The battle between the Alliance Master and the Sect Master was still ongoing. It was just that they didn't know where they were fighting.
Anyway, they couldn't feel any vibrations from inside. Looking at the sky was like looking at fireworks.
"I'm fine with it. However, when are we going to take action? Now is the time when they are most heavily guarded. I'm afraid we'll be discovered before we even get close." Ye Wu said worriedly, "Moreover, there are probably many people guarding there. Can we succeed?"
"Let me ask you this question too." The short man took over. "It's very simple for us to get close to that place. My identity is a good cover. When the time comes, I'll say that you guys are reinforcements from other places. No one will suspect anything. It's just that there's no one there. We should go and take a look first."
"You're right. The Great Elder saw that there were almost no defenses at all. Moreover, it seems that the Alliance Master said it himself. It shouldn't be a lie," Elder Mu added. The past few days of waiting had made Elder Mu feel a little anxious.
He couldn't wait to destroy the other party's defense immediately. As an elder, he had to set an example for the Star Alliance. If he really returned without any credit, he would look down on himself, even if others would understand him.
"There's no time to lose. I feel that we should act now. If a victor is decided between the alliance head and the other party, regardless of what happens, we will definitely increase our vigilance." Gu Zheng said without batting an eyelid. To him, the sooner they broke through the defenses, the better.
"I think so too. It won't be good if there are other unforeseen circumstances." Elder Mu nodded and made a decision.
Seeing that Elder Mu had decided to set off, the others didn't object. In fact, Ye Wu had just arrived. This was because it was true. Moreover, their identities had disappeared for too long. It was very likely that they would attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.
The few of them briefly discussed the matter of retreating. Then, the short man's face and figure changed, and he changed into another identity.
Although there was a considerable distance between this place and the city gate, with his abilities, he had already investigated the other hidden sentries. Furthermore, as long as they were more careful, the other party would definitely not discover their whereabouts.
Very quickly, the four of them quietly passed through the gaps under the short man's lead. They avoided most of the hidden sentries. Even though some of the sentries were heavily guarded, they took advantage of the fact that the other party was distracted to sneak past them.
At this moment, the entire city was silent. They took every step carefully. During this process, they didn't make even the slightest sound. After a period of time, they finally arrived near the city gate and carefully observed their surroundings.
From their position, they could see the interior of the city gate at a glance. The passageway to the city gate was bare, and there were no places to hide. At this moment, there was indeed no one inside. There was only a dark red light flashing at the top of the passageway, and waves continuously rippled from above.
The strange thing was that the waves only flickered back and forth in the passageway and didn't leak out at all outside.
At this moment, the sky was starting to brighten. In theory, if they were to launch a surprise attack at this time, it would be easy for the enemy to discover them.
However, they were skilled and bold. They purposely chose this moment to let the enemy think that it was not the right time to attack. Before the enemy could react, they would quickly destroy and retreat.
If there was no progress in a short period of time, they would immediately retreat according to the plan. This was the countermeasure that they had discussed before. They couldn't let themselves fall into the trap.
"I'll go scout first. If there are no problems, you guys can come back," Ye Wu suddenly said from the side.
"Alright, be careful," Elder Mu agreed. Although his plan was perfect, it was better to be careful.
Ye Wu suddenly crawled on the ground like a shadow. He protruded slightly from the ground and quickly swam towards the city gate.
In a few breaths' time, he passed through the empty streets and disappeared into the city gate. Ye Wu quickly recovered his figure and stuck his entire body to the wall. He carefully looked around. Under the worried gazes of Gu Zheng and the rest, Ye Wu slowly crept inside.
After taking a few more steps forward, Ye Wu became a lot bolder. His entire body left the wall and quickly approached the range of the waves.
However, Ye Wu didn't get carried away. He carefully returned to the city gate and nodded to Gu Zheng and the rest, indicating that there were no problems.
Elder Mu was overjoyed. He didn't expect the other party to be so careless. The heavens were really on their side. He quickly led Gu Zheng and the rest to the city gate carefully. When they arrived at the city gate using various methods, Elder Mu looked at Ye Wu approvingly. Then, he slowly led them towards the strange red light.
However, Gu Zheng felt very strange. He kept looking around, trying to find the worry in his heart. Even if this place wasn't important, was there no one guarding this place?
Perhaps the higher-ups were delayed by other things. Otherwise, why would only a few people appear? Gu Zheng didn't believe that there was only this little power here. At the very least, the few people that he knew didn't appear.
Until they walked in front of the waves, the blurry red light continued to flicker. Sensing the surging power in front of him, Gu Zheng temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart. No matter what, they were still here. As long as they could destroy the red light in front of them, it would be a great contribution.
When the Star Alliance attacked, Gu Zheng wanted to take advantage of the chaos to quickly find Xiang Xiang. Gu Zheng could sense that Xiang Xiang was here. It was very likely that she was on the peak.
