The Alliance Master turned his palm, and the long ribbon danced in the air once again, forming a huge tube that fell from the sky, trapping the Sect Leader inside.
Only his head was exposed, but the Sect Leader was still unfazed. This gave the Alliance Master a bad feeling.
"Bind."
The Alliance Master said coldly. His slender fingers clenched, and the long silk suddenly shrunk and tied up the Sect Leader.
"What's going on?" The Alliance Master frowned. He couldn't have caught the other party so easily. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a headache. But he had been watching the other party, so there shouldn't be any problem.
The Sect Leader didn't seem to realize that he was caught. He was still laughing nonchalantly, and the whole area was filled with his laughter.
The Alliance Master's heart skipped a beat, and the long ribbon shrunk. Just as he increased his strength, the Sect Leader's body exploded, turning into a bloody mist.
"Damn it, you can't escape." The Alliance Master's face was covered with frost. He looked around again, but the surroundings were calm. The Sect Leader was nowhere to be seen.
The long ribbon danced in front of him, and the bloody mist was dispersed. The Alliance Master's body rose up, and he turned into a ray of starlight, flying into the distance.
On a relatively high mountain peak, the Great Elder was still standing at the top. His eyes were looking at the large array not far away. He was already a little worried. He had planned to take care of the other party in half a month's time and then return to the city. However, the development of the situation was beyond his expectations.
He had been taking turns to wear down the other party's formation, but it didn't seem to have much effect so far.
The strength of the other party's formation was beyond his expectations. Two days ago, there was an abnormal vibration under the city gate, and he had sensed it. But it disappeared quickly, and the strength of the formation didn't weaken.
It seemed like they had failed. He didn't know if Elder Mu and the others had escaped.
More importantly, the Alliance Master and the other party's leader had been out for so many days, and there was no news from them. He didn't know how they were doing.
"Great Elder, the leader of group three is asking if we should start the rotation." A messenger hurried up and said to the Great Elder.
"Let them go. Make sure they are careful." The Great Elder rubbed his forehead and ordered.
"Yes." After receiving the message, the person hurried off.
Suddenly, a figure rushed over at high speed from afar. Even from afar, one could feel the towering aura. That was the unique aura of an expert like Jin Xian.
The Great Elder's expression changed, because he had already discovered that that person was not the Alliance Master, but the leader of the other party. Could it be that the Alliance Master had met with misfortune?
The Great Elder wasn't the only one who thought this way. Even the other people who saw this scene panicked. Their thoughts were the same as the Great Elder's. In a short period of time, everyone knew.
The Great Elder hurriedly went down the mountain. If he did not appear in time, everyone's thoughts would be scattered.
Even Team Three, who were supposed to rotate, stopped in their tracks. Everyone gathered in the temporary camp, as if they would only be safe if they stayed together.
When they saw the Great Elder appear, they all asked what had happened. Why did only the leader of the other party appear? Where was the Alliance Master?
The constant questions were like flies. One after another, the Great Elder's head was about to explode. However, he still patiently explained to everyone, saying that the other party seemed to be running away. He did not directly mention the Alliance Master.
Fortunately, the leader of the other party did not come over. He paused at the side of the formation for a moment. Then, his figure blurred and passed through, disappearing in front of everyone.
Only then did everyone feel at ease. However, after the time it took to brew a cup of tea, a familiar figure appeared in the sky. It was the Alliance Master who had returned after chasing after the Sect Master.
The appearance of the Alliance Master made everyone feel as if a rock had been lifted from their shoulders. Since the Alliance Master had appeared, no matter what, there was no problem. It was very likely that the Great Elder was right. Although the Alliance Master did not kill the other party, he had defeated the other party.
Team Three, who had just rotated, did not need any instructions. They gathered their members and rushed over again, continuing to consume the power of the formation.
When the Alliance Master arrived, she simply summoned all the higher-ups here and went into seclusion to recover. After fighting for a few days, she had consumed a lot of energy in her body. She had to go into seclusion for the upcoming battle.
Meanwhile, the Sect Leader returned to the place where Xiang Xiang was locked up. Seeing that she was still intact, he ignored her angry little eyes and hurriedly gathered everyone.
"Sect Master, did you kill the Alliance Master of the other party?" After everyone was gathered, Lian Rong could not wait to ask. If that was the case, it would be great.
The Sect Master shook his head and said, "No, the other party's strength was not low. Moreover, he was even more powerful than the rumors said. This time, we fought to a draw. No one could kill the other party. Therefore, I retreated first."
"Sect Master, is there something else?" Feng Yi asked. Otherwise, the Sect Master would not have gathered them again when he returned.
"I was summoned by the Black Deity. I need to take the little girl and leave first. Pack up your things and prepare to abandon this place. Come in together after the cooldown of the teleportation formation is over." The Sect Master directly threw out a bomb, making everyone dizzy.
One had to know that if the Sect Master did not take charge and the Alliance Master of the other party joined in, this formation would not be able to last for such a long time. In terms of the strongest explosive power, Jin Xian was hundreds of times stronger than a Heaven Immortal. Perhaps, the formation would be broken before they could retreat.
"Sect Master, are we going to give up our foundation that we've built for so long?" Lord Bai said bitterly. One had to know that he had watched this place build up bit by bit. His strength had also improved by leaps and bounds. Of course, he would not be willing to part with this place.
"It doesn't matter. This is the best time for the Black Deity to break free from the cage. When the Black Deity comes out, this will really be nothing." The Sect Master said frankly. This was also why he had directly given up on the confrontation with the Star Alliance. He had even given up on stalling for time.
After everyone heard this news, their faces were filled with ecstasy. Most of them had waited for this day for many years. They did not expect that this day would come just like this. Only now did they understand why the Sect Master had asked everyone to pay attention to this little girl. It seemed like this little girl was really important.
Now, everyone did not have any doubts and expressed that they would listen to the Sect Master's instructions.
After the Sect Master made some arrangements, he sent everyone away and began to prepare for the teleportation formation. There were materials that could be used for the teleportation formation all year round. However, even after such a long time, they had only accumulated three sets. This was so that they could find the Black Deity at any time in an emergency.
Of course, this was the first time the Sect Master was teleporting. In the past, he did not use this method to visit the Black Deity.
With the guidance left behind by the Black Deity, there would not be any problems with the teleportation.
Seven days later, the Sect Master finished his preparations and left with Xiang Xiang. Other than a small number of insiders, no one knew that the Sect Master had disappeared from this place.
According to the news outside, the Sect Master was just recuperating and accumulating strength again to deal a heavy blow to the enemy. Most of the people, including most of his subordinates, were heartlessly abandoned just like that.
However, at this time, of course, they did not know about this. They were still working hard for the Black Deity, for the Sect Master, for this place, and for themselves.
When the Sect Master asked them to leave, Lian Rong deliberately looked for Lord Bai before she left.
"Lord Bai, we are ready to leave. Should we continue with the previous plan?"
It did not matter if they did not continue, because after a few days, the materials would be ready again. They could leave this place at any time. Even if the Sect Master destroyed this place, he would not feel bad.
As long as the Black Deity came out, everyone in the vicinity, including the Star Alliance, would have to submit to him. If they did not submit, the price would be death. Everyone knew how powerful the Black Deity was. His cultivation was above Jin Xian's. Some people even suspected that the Black Deity was half a step away from ascending to heaven.
"Continue, why not? This time, we can play with those rats without any scruples. Before we leave, we will teach them a lesson that they will remember," Lord Bai said sinisterly.
"Yes, Lord Bai. I will spread the news in the next two days," Lian Rong lowered her head and said.
"Yes, it's at the canyon. We've already set up an ambush there. That place has beautiful scenery. It would be a blessing for him to die there," Lord Bai said as he patted the gourd hanging from his waist.
Lord Bai had personally sent people to investigate the previous operation. Almost every place was turned over, but they did not find the injured rat. It was as if the rat had disappeared from this place. There were no traces left.
This made Lord Bai very angry. With this opportunity, of course, he would not let go of the pitiful rat. He was sure that those people were still here, but he did not know where they were hiding.
It was a good opportunity to lure one of them out and vent the anger in his heart. Of course, it would be even better if there were two more.
After Lian Rong and Lord Bai separated, they rushed to the canyon without stopping. She did not forget the humiliation that Gu Zheng had given her. This time, she would get back at him with interest.
She made some arrangements to ensure that he would not be able to see any flaws from afar. After notifying Lord Bai and waiting for him to finish the arrangements, the group of people waited there.
Lian Rong began to spread the news in the city. She would not be sneaky, especially when time was so tight.
If he did not receive the news and did not appear in a few days, then they would have to evacuate.
Lian Rong estimated in her heart that she had at most seven days. She thought that the sect leader had clearly stated that they would leave this place tomorrow and had them, his trusted subordinates, prepare to leave this place at any time.
A group of three people was holding a banner and walking back and forth on the street. There was a simple picture of Xiang Xiang drawn on the banner. Moreover, they were shouting along the way. It was impossible not to attract people.
After a few days, the short man's body was able to move again. Every day, he would go about his official business and inquire about some news in passing.
On this day, when the short man returned at night, he routinely talked to Gu Zheng about some matters outside. In the end, he said a strange piece of information.
"I don't know what happened today, but there was a group of people shouting on the street. They said something about killing the little girl that they had captured in a few days."
The short man said worriedly because they had no way to take the girl back from the other party. It was obviously a trap.
However, the short man did not notice that Gu Zheng's body suddenly paused. However, in the blink of an eye, he returned to normal. If Elder Mu was here, he might discover that something was wrong with Gu Zheng. However, he had already asked the short man to give him an identity and went to look for his other companion in an attempt to bring him back. Ye Si had also come in, but he did not know where he was now.
"Oh, is that so? Tomorrow, I will also go out with you to take a look. "Gu Zheng said calmly, as if the captive had nothing to do with him.
However, the anger in his heart was already burning. The moment he was recognized by the other party, he was already mentally prepared. This was a naked provocation to him.
However, he had no choice but to be fooled because this was an open scheme to make him willingly step into it.
"Okay, you think of a way to rescue her," the short man said. The short man said. That was because since the other party had made such a big fuss, they were definitely fully prepared.
He still did not know what the relationship between the little girl and Gu Zheng was. Otherwise, he would not have said that.
"Yes, I know." Gu Zheng nodded slowly and did not say anything else.
The next day, Gu Zheng and the short man went to the place where he was on duty. Not only his place, but almost all the bigger streets were specially patrolled, as if they were afraid that Gu Zheng would not be able to see them.
Gu Zheng looked at Xiang Xiang's image and gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. Since the other party wanted him to appear, so what if he made a big fuss? He would let them see if they could withstand his anger.
That night, Gu Zheng directly found an excuse to go into seclusion. In fact, he had already slipped out again. The short man did not notice that Gu Zheng was different and did not care at all.
Two days later, Elder Mu came back with a stranger. When he saw that Gu Zheng did not appear, he asked in surprise, "Where's Ye Yi?"
He also saw the news outside. He, who was originally scouting outside, hurriedly came back with Ye Si because he knew what was going on inside. He was afraid that Gu Zheng's initial irrational action would put him in danger.
"He's in seclusion at the side. He said that he needs to recuperate," the short man said honestly. The short man said honestly as he pointed at a small house next to him. A layer of simple enchantment enveloped the outside of the house.
Hearing this, Elder Mu felt a lot more relieved. However, he was still prepared to call him out as a precaution. He had something to discuss with him.
The combat strength that he had shown before was not inferior to a peak Celestial Immortal. He could be considered a very good help. After all, out of all the people who came in, only the two of them had reached the peak of their strength.
"Ye Yi, please open the enchantment. I have something to discuss with you." Elder Mu and the others came to the front of the small courtyard and shouted to make sure that Gu Zheng could hear their voices.
"Ye Yi, I really have something to discuss with you. Please open the enchantment and let us in." After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no movement in the house, Elder Mu shouted again.
"Something's not right." Elder Mu suddenly thought of something bad. He stretched out his palm and immediately placed it on the enchantment. The fragile enchantment shattered silently.
The three of them immediately rushed in and saw that there was no one inside. Not even a trace of aura was left here. It seemed that the other party did not care about them at all.
"I saw him go in with my own eyes." The short man explained. He did not know how he disappeared.
"I know. Let's go out first and see if we can make it in time." Elder Mu said something that puzzled the short man and left the room.
At this moment, a very majestic tower suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance. It had already attracted everyone's attention when it appeared. It fell from the sky with endless power.
"Oh no, Ye Yi went alone." Elder Mu said in annoyance. He had only been away for a few days and such a situation had happened. It seemed that he had been ambushed by the enemy.
"Let's hurry and rescue him and see if we can make it in time." Elder Mu said. The three of them quickly rushed outside.
Elder Mu also told them about the little girl's identity. The short man suddenly realized that Gu Zheng was acting strangely at that time.
On that day, Gu Zheng was looking at the patrol team. He was looking at them intently and seriously. At that time, the short man thought that it was just a pity in his heart. He did not expect it to turn out like this.
Along the way, they were suddenly stopped by a figure. They saw that he was wearing the uniform of a patrol team member. The three of them immediately became vigilant. They were ready to subdue him if they sensed that something was wrong.
They saw that he made a strange gesture, which made them lower their guard. This gesture was only known to the middle level of the Star Alliance and above.
"Elder Mu, I found something different. Perhaps this is a good opportunity for us." This person's entire face was hidden under the hood, so no one could see what he looked like.
"What's going on? Tell me. " Elder Mu heard this familiar voice and asked curiously. Could it be that a group of people had been sent in besides them?
"I found that under the city gate …" That person briefly explained the matter. Then, he looked at Elder Mu with a hopeful gaze. If this was true, today would be the day to break the formation.
The short man and Ye Si also looked at Elder Mu. They were also tempted at this moment. It was very likely that they would not be able to make it in time if they rushed over now. However, the situation at the city gate was something that could only be encountered by chance.
Elder Mu's expression was uncertain, and his heart was constantly in a dilemma. One of them was his savior. If he did not care and caused the deaths of two of them, the reputation of the Star Alliance would be damaged.
However, if he did not seize such a good opportunity, it was very likely that more of his brothers would be sacrificed in the future. Moreover, it would greatly prolong the attack time.
After a long time, Elder Mu finally made a choice. He said to them, "Let's go to the city gate."
As for Gu Zheng's side, he could only apologize. He was willing to bear all the consequences. If Gu Zheng really could not make it, he would avenge him even if he had to go to the heavens.
The four figures immediately changed their direction and rushed in the direction of the city gate. At this moment, their hearts were filled with enthusiasm. If they really succeeded, they would completely make up for their previous regrets.
