"Brother Feng." Lian Rong subconsciously asked Feng Yi when she saw the enemies running away.
"Don't chase them. Protect yourselves first." Feng Yi said expressionlessly. He had lost too unjustly this time. If they had risked their lives to block them, they would definitely have been able to hold on until their teammates arrived. However, the two of them were already injured. Perhaps both of them would have died here.
Lian Rong had personally witnessed Gu Zheng's strength. This time, it was also because he had found the flaw here that they were able to successfully break through this place.
As for the old man who fought with him, he was also not weaker than him. He did not want to die here without knowing anything.
As long as the other party was here, there would be a chance to eliminate them sooner or later. It was not worthwhile to take the risk now.
"En." Lian Rong's gaze watched as Gu Zheng and the others quickly disappeared under the city gate. In a few flashes, they had left their line of sight. The divine sense that had followed them also disappeared.
A few minutes after Gu Zheng and the others left, several figures flew in from outside. Seeing the mess and sensing the enemy's aura that had yet to dissipate, the person in the lead could not help but say, "Why didn't you stop them?"
He looked like he was in his sixties and wore a flirtatious purple robe. He looked at Feng Yi with a reproachful expression. They had rushed over as fast as they could after receiving the news. However, the other party still managed to escape.
"The other party is too fierce. There are at least four of them. Each of them is not inferior to us in strength. However, one of them died and one was seriously injured. We borrowed the power of the formation, but similarly, one of them was seriously injured and one of them died." Feng Yi's expression did not change. He did not dare to be surprised by the other party's reproach.
In fact, at first, with the help of the formation, they were prepared to catch the other party in one fell swoop. However, the other party was smart and did not fall into the trap. Otherwise, they would have weakened the other party's strength by thirty percent from the beginning. They did not know how the lurkers failed and were discovered by the other party.
"Hmph, if I were here, none of them would be able to escape." The old man snorted and said. He seemed to be very confident in his own strength.
This time, they had deliberately set up such a formation and did not appear in front of the public. They did not even send people to guard such an important place. They wanted to use this opportunity to lure the lurkers in the city.
They had thought that there would only be one or two at most, but they had not expected there to be so many. Therefore, the others did not say anything, only the old man and Feng Yi were angry.
"However, now that the other party has escaped, it will be even more difficult to make him come out again. Now that the other party is so strong, he is like a ticking time bomb in our inner circle." One of them said worriedly. Based on the current progress of the magic array, it wouldn't be a problem for it to last for more than ten years. Moreover, the other side would definitely retreat when the Brilliant Light Secret Realm opened.
At that time, they would hide again and the other party would not be able to find them. This was also the reason why none of them were afraid.
This was because the Star Alliance was not a tough organization. Even the Star Alliance would not be able to bear giving up their gains in the secret realm. Everyone wanted to obtain their own opportunities inside.
"We can search the entire city, especially those who are heavily injured. At least we can find one enemy," someone said.
"That's a good idea. I'll arrange for someone to do it later." Lord Bai glanced at Feng Yi and said.
Feng Yi did not plan to take on the next mission. To him, he had already done his best.
Such a strong black space was exposed by the other party. Even Lian Rong, who was guarding the outside, was injured by the other party.
"I have a way to make one of them appear. Moreover, I have to make him come out voluntarily." Lian Rong, who was at the side, suddenly said.
"Oh, what method do you have? Now, if we can eliminate one, it will be one. If there are only one or two of them left, then everyone will have a much easier time." The old man turned his head to Lian Rong and asked.
Other than the fact that he did not get along with Feng Yi, he was quite good to the others.
"Lord Bai, do you still remember the little girl that the sect leader captured? She is actually the younger sister of one of the people. I reckon that he came for her. As long as we release the news, he will definitely walk into the trap." Although Lian Rong's cultivation was the same as his, she still said respectfully.
In this place, other than Feng Yi, everyone addressed him as such to show their respect.
"Then what method do you have? Quickly tell me." Lord Bai said with interest. Could it be that they were going to release the news and disappear into thin air? He reckoned that the other party would not believe them at all.
"As long as we place it on the ground where the ambush is, we will cover it up slightly. Even though the other party knows it's a trap, he will still walk into it." The lover took out a small blue ball from her bosom and said confidently.
This small blue ball was tossed to everyone by the sect leader. In the end, no one wanted it, so it was accepted by Lian Rong.
"Since you are so confident, then quickly carry out this plan. We have a total of five people. I don't believe that he will be able to escape." Lord Bai's mood became a lot better. "When you have a comprehensive plan, come find me. This time, I will personally act and see how powerful the other party is."
After saying that, Lord Bai led her people and left this place.
"Brother Feng." After they left, Lian Rong glanced at Feng Yi with grievance. She was following Brother Feng, but she was unable to refuse Lord Bai's words.
"It's fine. When the time comes, you can follow Lord Bai. If you perform a meritorious deed, I will also benefit from it." Of course, Feng Yi knew that the overall situation was important. His side had failed once, so he was unable to mobilize troops to fight for this opportunity again. It was better for him to stay behind and continue guarding this place.
When Gu Zheng's side fled from the city gate in a sorry state, he felt that the people behind him did not chase after him. He also heaved a sigh of relief. Although the short man was still unconscious, they still followed the plan. Along the way, they were scared but not in danger. They avoided the hidden sentries who were already aware of the situation and sneaked into the short man's house.
Fortunately, the short man had told Gu Zheng the method to enter and exit the house. Otherwise, they would have been blocked outside.
When they reached the backyard, Gu Zheng and Elder Mu heaved a sigh of relief. They could finally relax a little. Without the short man's permission, no one could enter this place.
If Ye Wu had not told them before his death that his identity had not declined, they would not know where to hide.
"What should we do now that he is in this state?" Elder Mu looked at the short man worriedly. Although he had already fed him some elixirs along the way, it would still take some time for him to recover.
If the short man could think of something, they could naturally think of it as well. There would probably be a wave of people rushing in to look for the short man at daybreak. After all, the short man had heard Ye Wu's shouts. Moreover, with such obvious injuries, even a night of treatment would not be able to cover it up.
"It's alright. I'll go get something." Gu Zheng looked at Elder Mu's worried face and comforted him. He understood all the worries he had. He knew that if he did not treat the short man's injuries, they would only be safe for a few hours.
After all, his identity was their greatest reliance. It was also their greatest protection here. It could save them a lot of trouble.
Gu Zheng went out for a round. When he returned, he was holding half a piece of emerald green leaf in his hand.
"This is?" Elder Mu looked at the item in Gu Zheng's hand in astonishment. Of course, he could feel Peng Bo's life force. Although it was only for half a day, it was enough to save his life at a critical moment.
"This is all I have. The rest can be healed in just a few hours." Gu Zheng shrugged, not feeling the slightest bit of heartache. "The other side definitely won't send any small fries to check. They'll pay more attention to these middle-level personnel. Not even the slightest flaw can be left to others.
Elder Mu nodded subconsciously. That was indeed the case. They would not let go of any suspicious areas.
"We'll also treat him while we're at it." Gu Zheng threw the leaf into the air. Bits of green mist emerged from the leaf. It was like a spring rain, gently falling on the short man's body and entering his body bit by bit.
In Elder Mu's eyes, the short man's aura was like a crazily growing tree. It was almost visible to the naked eye. His injuries, which could be said to be on the verge of death, stabilized in a few breaths.
Two hours later, the sky was already bright. They could clearly feel that a group of people had begun to appear in the city. They were searching for them. It would not be long before they arrived here.
However, the short man's injuries had completely healed. He was just still unconscious. One had to know that if it were not for the help of his magic treasure, he would have been killed by Feng Yi on the spot.
Even if he was forced to move again, it would not be completely destroyed. It was really a pity.
This amount of energy was enough to treat the short man. The remaining energy would also allow Gu Zheng and Elder Mu to return to their peak condition.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Suddenly, there was a sound of knocking on the door. Gu Zheng could clearly hear the servants outside opening the door. A group of people walked in from behind.
"I'll go out for a bit and see if I can wake Third Master Ye up." Gu Zheng said and hurriedly walked out.
His aura fell to a mere Tier 3 again. He opened the door and walked out. One had to know that there was a restriction outside. Without the short man opening it, there was no way to enter. The only way was to break it open by force.
However, Gu Zheng had already quietly opened the restriction. As a Tier 3 cultivator, he could not open the restriction. Only by doing so could the other party think that the short man was actually inside. He could only hope that the short man would wake up quickly.
Gu Zheng silently calculated the time. When they were still some distance away from the door of the backyard, he just happened to open the door and said respectfully, "Lords, please come in. My uncle has been waiting for you inside for a long time."
His actions caused those aggressive people to slow down a bit, because such open and aboveboard strength shouldn't be an impersonation of an enemy. However, they still followed behind Gu Zheng, and under his lead, they walked towards the rear courtyard.
With Gu Zheng's lead, their pace naturally slowed down. This bought them a little more time.
When he stepped into the room, Gu Zheng's whole body was tense. If something went wrong, he would immediately start a massacre. This time, the leader was only a Late Celestial Immortal. The rest were just some small fries. He was confident that he could kill the other party in an instant when he was unguarded and would not let him send out any message.
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Zheng quietly heaved a sigh of relief. The short man was sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed, and Elder Mu was nowhere to be seen.
"Lord, something happened in the city yesterday. The higher-ups asked me to check on everyone's situation." The leader bowed and said. Although their cultivation was the same, the short man's official position was obviously much higher than his.
"Well, I heard about what happened a few days ago. It's been hard on all of you. These few days, I have been recuperating my body to make myself in peak condition so that I can serve Lord Hierarch at any time." The short man slowly opened his eyes. A bright light appeared in his eyes. The room seemed to be illuminated a lot. It was obvious that the Immortal Qi in his body was about to leak out.
"It's my honor to serve Lord Hierarch. Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first." When the leader saw the short man's appearance, he could tell that he had been recuperating for many days. There was no sign of his hand at all. He quickly cupped his hands and said.
Finally, after glancing at the situation in the hall, the people who came to check left. They still had to check other places and could not waste too much time.
After Gu Zheng sent them away, he saw that the short man was still sitting there motionlessly. He could not help but smile and say, "Fortunately, you woke up in time. Otherwise, we would be in trouble."
"It's mainly because your medicinal pills are amazing. You spent too much money." The short man knew how much Gu Zheng had spent. Theoretically speaking, the value of those pills was about the same as his magic treasure.
Although his spatial magic treasure was precious and rare, its grade was not very high. Moreover, its limitations were relatively small. However, Gu Zheng's item could save a life at a critical moment and turn the situation around.
"We're all in the same trench. It's nothing. Besides, it's not a waste at all." Gu Zheng waved his hand and said. Then, after looking around, he did not see Elder Mu. He could not help but ask curiously, "Where's Elder Mu? Why didn't I see him? "
"And why didn't you come down? They've already left. Stop pretending."
At this moment, Gu Zheng noticed that the chair under the short man began to shake. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into Elder Mu's appearance. He lifted the short man up and took out another chair that looked exactly the same as the one before placing it under him.
Gu Zheng's eyes widened. The chair that the short man made was actually Elder Mu's transformation. Gu Zheng did not even realize how magical Elder Mu's disguise was.
Why did Elder Mu have to make himself look like this? There was another person beside him who could have hidden by the side.
Seeing the puzzled look on Gu Zheng's face, the short man awkwardly explained, "Earlier, Elder Mu used a secret technique to wake me up. However, there are some negative consequences. My body is particularly stiff and I am practically incapable of moving. Additionally, Elder Mu has to channel immortal energy into me at all times to maintain this state. Otherwise, I can forget about moving for a month."
Gu Zheng then realized that Elder Mu had placed a hand on the short man's shoulder and was standing beside him.
"What should we do next? They'll be more vigilant in the future. I'm afraid we won't be able to complete our mission." Gu Zheng said from the side. It seemed like the battle between the Sect Master and the Alliance Master was still ongoing. At present, they did not know who had the upper hand.
"Let's stabilize for a few days first. We'll see after two days." Elder Mu said decisively, "Let's wait for Ye Er to recover. When that time comes, we'll let him go and find out more information."
Just as Elder Mu decided to rest, two figures were facing each other on the surface of the sea tens of thousands of miles away. However, both of them looked somewhat miserable.
"I really didn't expect you to have such strength," the Alliance Master said with a serious expression. The Star Alliance Alliance Leader said with a solemn expression. After a few days of fighting, she had sadly discovered that she could not do anything to him. Although she was stronger than him on the surface, the black gas in his body was extremely strange and forcefully evened out the gap between them.
Other than the first two days, she could still suppress him. However, later on, the two of them were in a stalemate.
"Hehe, you're indeed the Alliance Master of the Star Alliance. I didn't expect you to be so patient and stay here with such a high cultivation. Why don't we work together and work for my master? When my master escapes, we'll definitely obtain unimaginable benefits," the Sect Master said with a smile.
"Cut the crap. Put away your bewitching words. They're useless to me." The Alliance Master reprimanded him and frowned. Facing such a villain, who exuded an evil aura from head to toe, she felt extremely disgusted just by looking at him.
"Hmm?" The Sect Master was about to say something when his heart skipped a beat. Then, his expression changed. He said to the Alliance Master, "I wanted to play with you, but I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You can play by yourself."
"You want to leave? No way." The Sect Master's figure had just moved when the Alliance Master's long silk, which was suffused with seven-colored light, shot over instantly.
In her opinion, something must have happened there. Of course, she could not let the other party go back so easily.
The Sect Master tilted his body and quickly descended, dodging the long silk that the other party had wrapped around him. However, the long silk did not let go of him and continued to entangle him.
Suddenly, the Sect Master's black eyes turned red and started to spin. A blood mist suddenly appeared on the surface of his body and quickly condensed into two red eyeballs that moved back and forth above the Sect Master's head.
Upon closer inspection, the movement of the eyeballs was exactly the same as that of the Sect Master's eyeballs.
The Sect Master took out another blood-red eyeball and directly crushed it. An even thicker blood mist was released from it and surged into the red eyeballs.
The two eyeballs glowed red and two extremely thick red lights shot out. One shot towards the long silk that was blocking his retreat, and the other shot towards the Alliance Master in the distance.
Seeing this, the Alliance Master's hand shook and released the long silk at the end. The long silk instantly started to spin and a faint white whirlpool was formed. The red light shot towards the center, but the whirlpool did not reduce the power of the red light.
Then, the Alliance Master pointed downwards. A sparkling and translucent water pillar that was as thick as a bucket instantly rose from the sea surface. It made a sharp turn in mid-air and went towards the red light pillar.
Only a "boom" sound was heard.
A blue water pillar and the red light pillar suddenly exploded at the intersection. Countless water splashed into the sky and scattered down, causing a red rain to fall in mid-air.
The Alliance Master's forward figure was forced to stop. She looked at the Sect Master through the hazy mist. Only when the aftershock in the air completely dissipated did she continue to charge forward.
However, the strange thing was that the Sect Master just stood there and smiled at her. That smile was indescribably strange, as if her plan had succeeded.
