"What's going on?" Song Ang reached out his hand and muttered to himself as he watched the demonic snowflakes fall into his palm.
"Let me see!" The Great Elder's expression turned ugly. A ray of bloody light shot out from his sleeve and formed a clear image in the air.
The scene above was overlooking the entire valley outside. At this moment, it was a scene of chaos. The ground was littered with the corpses of small demons. The few remaining small demons were frantically running away, with a few humans chasing after them.
Outside the core of the formation was a layer of blood shield. Above it, three figures were fighting non-stop. It looked like it was a draw. It was hard to tell who had the upper hand.
Some of the magical waves that were missed hit the blood shield from time to time, causing ripples on the shield.
"Pa!"
The scroll only appeared for a few breaths before it was wrongly pinched by the furious Great Elder. The veins on his hand were bulging.
He never thought that his originally foolproof plan would have a backup plan. There was even a team outside, looking for flaws on his side.
"Could it be that your plan has completely failed? Looks like you have miscalculated too. No wonder you're in such a state!" Song Ang said sarcastically, not caring that the other party was his temporary ally.
"It's not completely a failure. Maybe the other party is too meticulous. I left a late Jin Xian Goblin outside. Let's see if he can stop the other party." The Great Elder took a deep breath. He was indifferent to Song Ang's sarcasm.
However, he was not confident at all. Since the other party had thought of his plan, he would have sent a strong person outside to assist him.
Looking at the black shield in the distance that was getting dimmer, it looked like it could not hold on for much longer.
The Great Elder seemed to see through the black shield and saw the young man inside. That confident expression was as if all his thoughts had been seen through by the other party.
However, you'll never guess. Let's see if it's you or me who's going to die! The Great Elder thought viciously, but said to Song Ang beside him.
"If the formation fails, but it's still effective, then we'll do as you said. We'll rush in together and not give the other party any chance!"
"Haha, you should have heard my words long ago. Although there will be many casualties, it's the simplest and most violent way!" Song Ang laughed and said confidently. The other party always wanted to make fewer sacrifices, but in the end, they still came to this step.
"Get ready. Once their tortoiseshell is broken, we'll charge over. We won't give them any time to hesitate!"
These words were directed at his own team members. Before this, they had only been here and had not participated in the operation to break the defensive barrier.
The remaining two Shuras stuck out their scarlet tongues and licked their lips. They nodded and took a few more steps forward. They stood in front of Gu Zheng and waited for him to break through the barrier before immediately attacking.
At that moment, a hole opened up in the wall behind Snow. While the Great Elder and the others were focused on the hole, a pair of hands grabbed Snow's shoulders. A blue light flashed across Snow Mountain's body, breaking the bindings on her and pulling her into the hole. Only the red rope remained, still glowing, attached to the wall.
Before the wall could return to its original state, a streak of blood-red light instantly struck the spot where Xue 'er had been, blasting a large hole in it.
But the other party had already left the spot, leaving only a black hole in its place.
The Great Elder looked at the hole in front of him with an ashen face. Song Ang's voice sounded in his ears.
"Oh, looks like that little rat is indeed quite capable. She actually managed to sneak up behind us. But do you want to chase after them? But I think it's useless even if you go. Who knows where they've already gone! "
"I know. In any case, she is no longer of any use. Her biggest use is to lure our enemies here. A Celestial Immortal is not a big problem!" The Great Elder waved his hand and agreed with the other party's point of view. No one sent people to chase after her.
Too few people couldn't do it, too many people couldn't do it either. In any case, the other party had to gather together. The Great Elder had thought it through very clearly. He didn't want to waste his efforts. Besides, they might not be able to catch the other party.
On the other hand, Qi Xiang, who had succeeded in saving Xue 'er, quickly retreated backward. This passageway had just been dug out by Yuan Li, and could barely fit one person.
Under the impact of the other party's explosion, he couldn't use his body to block the path for Snow. He could only release a temporary barrier to block it.
Although the Great Elder's attack was mostly blocked by the barrier, a small portion still managed to pass through and hit Snow.
Snow grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood on Qi Xiang's shoulder. Then, she fainted.
Qi Xiang quickly checked on Snow's condition. He was relieved to find that she had only suffered light injuries and had fainted temporarily.
If anything happened to Snow in his hands, he wouldn't have the face to face Gu Zheng. He might as well just die.
Seeing Yuan Li and his teammates, he handed Snow to Yuan Li and said joyfully, "Thank you for your help. Thank you for your help."
"Snow's fine. She's just fainted because of the other party's shockwave. Let's hurry and meet up with Young Master Gu. The other party won't be able to hold on for long. Facing so many enemies, without our help, they won't be able to hold on!"
"Alright, what if the other party chases after us?" Yuan Li asked worriedly. After checking on Snow's condition, he found that it was just as Qi Xiang had said.
One had to know that if the other party chased after them through the tunnel, they wouldn't be able to hide a large portion of the secret tunnel on this mountain peak. Even if they destroyed the tunnel, it would be useless. The real cutting point was in another place. Only by sealing that place would they be able to cut off the connection with this place.
"You guys go first. I'll cover you from behind. When the time comes, just leave a mark for me and tell me the path!" Qi Xiang said without hesitation.
"Alright, be careful. I'll leave a mark of a plum blossom on the wall and a red plum blossom mark on a mechanism. When the time comes, you just need to press down on it and you'll be able to cut off the connection with this place. The other party won't be able to break through without at least ten days to half a month." Yuan Li knew that this was the best plan for now. Only he had the strength to stop the other party for the time being.
After a few words, Yuan Li led Qi Xiang's team and left the place.
"Captain Qi, be careful. We'll meet up with you at Young Master Gu's place. When we reach the other side of the tunnel, I'll leave a mark for you. Don't go the wrong way!" the female team member said to her captain.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely not forget. Let's go quickly. Time is of the essence. Don't waste any more time!" Qi Xiang nodded, indicating that he understood.
He then took out a strange spear that looked like a halberd. However, there were white teeth protruding from the top of the wall, acting as a sharp blade.
"Deng, deng, deng!"
As the sound of their footsteps gradually faded away, Qi Xiang looked at the tunnel that he'd destroyed with a serious expression. Feeling a little unsafe, he casually drew a few simple formations before retreating a little and looking ahead, waiting for the other party to catch up.
The time it took to brew a cup of tea passed, but there was still no movement in front of him.
This made Qi Xiang feel a little strange. Could it be that the other party didn't chase after him at all?
Thinking of this, Qi Xiang felt that his thoughts were very correct. Thus, he secretly cleaned up the tunnel that he'd destroyed.
However, after secretly digging for a distance, Qi Xiang gave up. If he moved forward, he might alert the other party again. He was sure that the other party didn't chase after him at all.
This made Qi Xiang feel a lot more at ease. He hurriedly walked toward the tunnel that led back.
Soon, a three-way intersection appeared in front of him. One of them was the tunnel that they'd come from. He needed to go back and take a detour from the other side to reach Gu Zheng's location.
"By the way, what did they say again?" Qi Xiang looked at the plum blossom mark on the ground. There were obvious traces of footsteps on the ground. Thinking of what they'd said to him before, his memory seemed to be a little fuzzy.
Really, why couldn't he remember what they'd said to him just now? Qi Xiang looked at the road on the side.
The other side was clean and tidy. There was a light layer of dust on it as if no one had been here for a long time.
"Hehe, I remember now! Just now, he said not to take the path that left the mark. It was to confuse the pursuers and make me take this path! "Qi Xiang recalled what Yuan Li had told him and suddenly realized.
Then, he turned around and sped toward the other path.
Soon, the time it took to drink a cup of tea passed. The deeper he went, the more Qi Xiang felt that something was wrong. He clearly remembered that his team members had left marks for him. However, he didn't find any marks on his way here. Could it be that he'd gone the wrong way?
Qi Xiang, who was moving forward at high speed, immediately stopped. Looking at his companions, who still didn't have any marks, he felt that he'd better go there first.
However, just as he turned around, his ears moved. A faint scream sounded in his ears. It was as if someone was being tortured in the distance. It was more like a wail before death.
How could there be other people's wails here?
Qi Xiang's body suddenly stopped. His body still maintained the posture of leaving. Not long after, another roar sounded in his ears.
Just now, because he was moving at high speed, his ears were filled with the slight sound of the wind. He couldn't hear the movement outside at all. Moreover, the scream was very weak. If he hadn't stopped to listen again, he wouldn't have heard it clearly.
This time, Qi Xiang was sure that he didn't hear wrongly. However, he was curious. Why would such a sound appear here?
He turned around again and continued to move forward. This was because the sound was coming from the front.
There was only one path here. There were no other paths. Perhaps Yuan Li knew how to open another path to lead the way. However, Qi Xiang soon reached the end of the path after a few turns.
At this moment, he could clearly hear the various voices inside.
"Qin County, you despicable person. I didn't expect you to side with the Goblin. How could you face your parents? Do you know the consequences? "
"Where's the Sect Leader? Isn't he coming back? Why didn't he come back to save us!"
"Yang Feng, you died so tragically. You traitors. When the Sect Leader comes back, all of you will go to hell!"
Countless curses could be heard from inside. However, no one answered them. Every now and then, a person would be dragged out.
"Please don't. I've treated you well in the past. Spare …" Following the sound of bones being crushed, the rest of the voice was gone.
However, most of the voices before were curses. They rarely begged for mercy.
At this moment, Qi Xiang recalled that they had only seen a small portion of the Snow Mountain disciples. Yuan Li didn't mention the others. It seemed like Yuan Li couldn't tell who was the Goblin traitor among the remaining people. He couldn't let them discover this place so he had to give them up.
It seemed like they were all imprisoned here. He really didn't expect to find this place when he wasn't paying attention.
Yuan Li probably didn't expect that they would be trapped here in broad daylight.
After sensing that there were only a few Heaven Immortals inside, Qi Xiang didn't hesitate. He instantly broke through the obstacles in front of him and rushed out.
While the other party was still shocked to see a figure falling from the top of the mountain, Qi Xiang had already subdued them in a few flashes. The few Heaven Immortals were all lying unconscious on the ground.
Then, a ball of water appeared in Qi Xiang's hand. He crushed it and it turned into countless water droplets that flowed in all directions. Every droplet accurately shot into the bodies of the humans outside.
No matter what they were doing, their bodies froze. Some of them even fell to the ground.
In a short moment, Qi Xiang had the entire situation under control. He looked at the space around him and couldn't help but frown.
This was a spacious dungeon. There were two rows of cells. But the strange thing was that all the cells were simply locked. They weren't locked.
At the exit far away, there was a layer of seal that flashed with a bloody light. It blocked these people here.
The real Snow Mountain disciples were imprisoned in the prison. None of them were Goblin traitors. Outside, there were humans that Goblin instigated. There wasn't a single Goblin.
Near the inside, there was a blood-red array. In the middle, there was a concave blood trough. At this moment, there was a small layer of blood below. On the other side, there was a device that looked like a meat grinder. Some blood flowed along the pipe and into the pit. Beside it, there was minced meat that couldn't be identified.
From the scale, at least 30 people had died. The entire air was filled with the smell of blood. The thick and sweet smell made Qi Xiang feel nauseous.
Around him, there was a formation that was emitting a faint light that was constantly flashing.
This was the first time he had seen such an evil array.
At this moment, the entire cave was silent because of his appearance. The Snow Mountain disciples all looked at him in shock. They didn't know him at all.
"Don't be surprised. I know Sect Master Yuan. Who is the one in charge here? Hurry up and come out!" Qi Xiang hurriedly shouted when he saw this.
"Senior, the elders are all unconscious at the side. Only us Snow Mountain disciples are. However, our bodies have been cursed. We are just like ordinary people." At this moment, a person with quick reaction pushed open the door of the cage and walked out. He pointed to the opposite corner and said.
From the looks of it, the other party was definitely a friend and not an enemy. No matter what the other party's identity was, he had saved them.
He wasn't the only one. The other people who could move had already pushed open the cage in front of them and walked out. Some people even walked in front of the traitors and tried to beat them to death with their fists.
However, there wasn't a single weapon in this room. Their attacks landed on the other party's body and were weak.
However, these people could only look in horror. They couldn't move and let the other party vent on them.
"Alright, I'll ask!" Qi Xiang leaped and arrived at the slightly bigger cell. There were more than 20 elders lying in it. However, he noticed that one of them was very special. It seemed to be the one with the highest status.
A cloud of mist exploded in the cell and turned into a drizzle that entered the other party's body.
After more than ten breaths, the elders in front of him started to wake up one after another. As Qi Xiang expected, the elder on his shoulder who was different from the others was the first to wake up.
After doing all this, Qi Xiang didn't wait there foolishly. Instead, he started to study everything in detail. It seemed that the Goblin wanted to do something. Since he had discovered it, he couldn't just go back like this.
He couldn't touch the seal at the entrance of the cave. However, he couldn't see the use of the evil array. However, he naturally had his own methods.
He took out a bottle of black stuff again and threw it into the pool of blood below with a sneer. In less than a breath, the entire pool of blood was dyed black and emitted a pungent smell.
This thing was a special product of the deep sea. It was produced from a special beast and was naturally very poisonous. It was even effective against those in the Zenith Heaven Realm. Of course, more venom was needed.
Although the other party's strength was in the Zenith Heaven Realm, he still obediently took out a lot of it under the pressure of General Lei. This time, he carried it with him. Although the amount wasn't enough, if the other party dared to inhale it, he would teach him a lesson.
Of course, Qi Xiang only left a thought. He didn't expect the other party to fall for it. After all, he couldn't destroy the array here. Otherwise, the other party would instantly know what was going on here. Although he could dispel the poison in the bodies of the ordinary Snow Mountain disciples, he couldn't waste a lot of energy to do so.
Anyway, he was only suppressing the cultivation in the other party's body. It wouldn't cause any harm to their bodies.
After doing all this, the elders who had woken up were helped up by the Snow Mountain disciples.
"Senior, thank you very much for your help. Did Sect Master Yuan send you to save us?" The leading elder said with a smile. He already knew what had happened here.
"Yes! However, I have something important to do. The higher-ups have already started the final battle with the Goblin. Life and death are decided in an instant. I'm sorry, but I can't escort you out. You have to find a way to get out by yourself. Otherwise, you can stay here and wait for the final battle. If we win at that time, you can get out! Don't worry about these people. Without my contact, they can't touch the restriction in their bodies for a month. "Qi Xiang quickly said and then prepared to leave.
"Senior, please wait a moment. There's a girl called Xue 'er hidden here. Our escape route is also inside. You just have to help us!" The elder said quickly. He understood the other party's situation. If that was really the case, they couldn't waste any time here.
"Xue 'er?!"
