Hao Ren stared blankly at the direction Lu Yiye left in. The situation had changed so quickly that he couldn't keep up with it.
"Brother, why would the Winged Flood Dragon run to the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment if it's in a bad mood?" Hao Qing couldn't understand.
"Maybe the Sky Pillar Sect's people provoked it before?"
"So that's how it is!" Hao Qing nodded.
"My silly sister …" Hao Ren lamented, "The Winged Flood Dragon was clearly lured over by Brother Yiye. What does it have to do with its mood?"
Hao Qing was shocked, "How did it get lured over?"
Hao Ren thought to himself, 'How would I know? But it was definitely Lu Yiye's doing. It didn't make sense for the Winged Flood Dragon, who never showed up before, to have such an abnormal action today. '
He quickly transmitted, "The Winged Flood Dragon has come out. It's suspected to be lured over by Lu Yiye. It's heading towards the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment."
On the spirit ship that accommodated hundreds of cultivators from Silver Light Island, Luo Fu was considering whether to continue forward or return the way he came. He thought that the Sky Pillar Sect's mine had been attacked, so they would definitely make some moves. But in the end, the Sky Pillar Sect didn't make a move, which made him very uncomfortable.
He had brought hundreds of people with him. He thought he could take the opportunity to make a big move, but the Sky Pillar Sect didn't give him a chance at all.
After dawn, the Sky Pillar Sect would definitely investigate the situation at the mine, but once dawn came, they wouldn't be able to hide with so many people. If they were discovered, the Sky Pillar Sect would definitely hide in the encampment, which would be equivalent to a wasted trip.
Just as Luo Fu was at a loss, he suddenly received a message from Hao Ren.
He checked it and his expression gradually became surprised. He knew every word in the message, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand.
What did the Winged Flood Dragon mean? Wasn't that thing a legendary monster? How could it be lured to the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment by Lu Yiye? How could Lu Yiye have such ability?
Was he lying to him?
After thinking for a while, he transmitted, "Junior Brother Hao, tell me honestly, were you kidnapped by the Sky Pillar Sect?"
"Senior Brother Luo, I'm telling the truth! I can't believe it, but I saw it with my own eyes. I can't not believe it! Let me tell you, the Winged Flood Dragon was twenty feet long. Its body was as thick as a water tank, its eyes like lanterns, and a horn on its head. it was very fierce.... "
"Hao Qing was kidnapped?"
"…"
At the lakeside, Hao Ren was going crazy. He thought for a moment and sent another message: "Silver Light Island's disciple Hao Ren and his sister Hao Qing weren't kidnapped by the Sky Pillar Sect or anyone else. If what I said to Senior Martial Brother Luo Fu just now is false, may the heavens strike me with lightning and I'll die a horrible death. I respectfully request the heavens to bear witness!"
After a while, Luo Fu sent a message: "Still alive?"
"Senior Brother Luo, trust me!"
"Yes!"
How could Luo Fu not believe that the Heavenly Secret Oath had been made?
The legendary Winged Flood Dragon really existed, and it was led to the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment by Lu Yiye! This was a heaven-sent opportunity.
On the deck of the ship, Luo Fu was in high spirits and gave the order, "Full speed ahead!"
The ship that was originally as slow as a tortoise hummed and trembled. It was wrapped in dense spirit light and quickly headed in the direction of the Sky Pillar Sect's camp.
In the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment, Guardian Zou Qi and Vice Guardian Yu Hongbao led several hundred cultivators gathered in the plaza of the Heaven's Secret Hall.
At this moment, there were some pale-faced cultivators standing in front of Zou Qi and Yu Hongbao, reporting what had happened.
They had all escaped from the ore vein. Although Lu Ye and Hao Ren had killed their way into the ore vein, the ore vein was connected in all directions. It was impossible for them to kill all the Sky Pillar Sect cultivators. Naturally, there would be fish that escaped the net.
The people who had escaped didn't know what had happened. They only knew that the mine had been attacked and many people had died. As for who had attacked and how many people had attacked, they didn't know. They only knew that there weren't many people who had attacked the mine.
Zou Qi and Yu Hongbao didn't get much useful information, so they could only let the survivors enter.
Zou Qi looked at Yu Hongbao and asked, "What do you think?"
"These people didn't get ambushed when they escaped. Either there was no ambush outside the encampment, or the people who ambushed us had a big appetite."
Zou Qi nodded. He also thought the same.
Under normal circumstances, if there was an ambush outside the encampment, it would be impossible for these people to escape. Now that they had returned safely, it meant that the other party was using a long line to catch a big fish.
At this time, they had to remain calm. If they rashly sent out more cultivators, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
"Let's wait for dawn. It's already dawn, so it'll be dawn soon!" As Zou Qi spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the dark night, as if he could see the endless murderous intent hidden in the darkness.
Zou Qi and Yu Hongbao couldn't be blamed for thinking this way. The main reason was that the three Ninth Order cultivators guarding the mine didn't even send back a message before they died. Senior Brother Yuan Guang also died for some unknown reason.
This gave them an illusion that the force that attacked the Sky Pillar Sect this time had dispatched a large number of Masters. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for four Ninth Order cultivators to die without knowing why. Maybe the two nearby Grand Sky Alliance forces had joined forces.
They were fighting a battle of wits and courage, but they didn't know that danger was coming from another direction.
Under Yi Yi's lead, Ying Jiao approached the Sky Pillar Sect encampment with an astonishing momentum. Behind Ying Jiao, Lu Ye rode on Hu Po and chased after him.
As time passed, the darkness slowly receded and dawn gradually rose on the horizon.
The hundreds of Sky Pillar Sect cultivators who had been waiting for a long time were only waiting for Zou Qi's order to kill their way out of the encampment and teach the attackers a lesson.
"What's going on?"
Zou Qi suddenly frowned. He vaguely felt the ground shaking, and there seemed to be a rumbling sound.
Yu Hongbao immediately crouched on the ground and pressed his ear to the ground, listening carefully. His face gradually turned solemn, "Something big is rapidly approaching here!"
"Ying Jiao!" Zou Qi's voice trembled.
"What?" Yu Hongbao raised his eyes and looked at Zou Qi, only to see the other party staring in one direction, the corners of his eyes twitching.
He quickly got up and followed Zou Qi's gaze, and he was stunned.
The hundreds of cultivators in the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment were all dumbfounded. This was because in that direction, a huge snake demon that was 60 meters long was twisting its body and rumbling as it charged. It was actually heading straight for the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment.
The lake where the Ying Jiao lived was within the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment, so the Sky Pillar Sect undoubtedly knew more about this Vicious Beast. Outsiders thought that the Ying Jiao was just a rumor, but the Sky Pillar Sect knew that it really existed. Several decades ago, the Sky Pillar Sect's older generation cultivators had seen the Ying Jiao swallow the essence of the full moon at night.
Over the years, the Sky Pillar Sect had thought of subduing this fierce beast and making it their sect's guardian monster beast, but they had never succeeded. After trying a few times and losing a lot of people, they gave up.
No one had expected that this Vicious Beast would actually rush towards the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment today. Looking at its aggressive appearance, it clearly didn't come with good intentions!
What was going on?
Zou Qi immediately felt that this was Silver Light Island's handiwork, but he quickly rejected this idea. If Silver Light Island really had the ability, they would have already smashed the Sky Pillar Sect to pieces. They wouldn't have waited until today.
Zou Qi didn't have time to think about how this elusive Vicious Beast would leave the lake where it lived. He shouted for the disciples to increase the power of the defensive array formation while praying in his heart that this Vicious Beast was just passing by and would soon leave!
However, praying was useless. The Ying Jiao didn't change its direction in the slightest. Under the gazes of the several hundred cultivators of the Sky Pillar Sect, it slammed into the defensive array's light curtain at an extremely fast speed.
* Boom … *
A loud sound rang out, and with the point of impact as the center, a shockwave visible to the naked eye swept out in all directions. The defensive array's light curtain dimmed by a large margin and ripples spread out.
The dim light curtain brightened once more as the Sky Pillar Sect's cultivators frantically urged the array's power.
Inside the array, the hearts of the Sky Pillar Sect's cultivators violently beat along with the impact. Many cultivators even instinctively lowered their bodies. The violent shock caused some of the buildings in the encampment to rustle.
Outside the array's light curtain, half of the Ying Jiao's sixty-meter-long body stood upright. Its head was held high and its forked tongue flicked in and out of its mouth. Its dark green eyes reflected panicked faces.
Its body leaned back slightly, and its snake body seemed to have turned into a longbow.
Seeing this posture, Zou Qi knew that things weren't good.
Sure enough, the Ying Jiao slammed its head down again.
* Boom … *
Once again, the earth shook and the mountains shook. This time, the impact was even more violent than before. Just now, the Ying Jiao had rushed over with its momentum and didn't have much of a will. However, this time, it took the initiative to attack. The strength of the two was different.
The sect's light curtain dimmed a lot before becoming bright again.
* Boom boom boom … *
The continuous sounds of the impact were deafening. The entire Sky Pillar Sect's encampment was in chaos. The mood of the cultivators also fluctuated along with the sect's light curtain.
The Ying Jiao slammed into the sect's protective array like a madman. No one knew why it was doing this. The sect's protective array could still hold on for a short time, but it would definitely be broken after a long time. The several hundred cultivators present wouldn't be able to stop the Ying Jiao's slaughter.
Zou Qi and Yu Hongbao had already asked if anyone in the sect had provoked this fierce beast recently, but they didn't get any useful clues.
The only person who knew what was going on was behind a slope five kilometers away. He stuck his head out and looked over. Lu Ye followed the Ying Jiao's trail and hurriedly rushed over. At a glance, he saw the Ying Jiao slamming into the sect's protective array. It seemed that it had a deep hatred for the Sky Pillar Sect.
It was stable!
Lu Ye sent a message to Yiyi and asked about her situation. After knowing that she was fine, he was relieved.
At first glance, the sect's protective array looked like a semicircular light curtain covering the encampment. However, it was actually circular. Half of it was on the surface and the other half was underground. This was to guard against sneak attacks from underground.
Therefore, even if Yiyi could escape underground, she couldn't bring the scale armor into the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment. However, she didn't need to bring it in. She only needed to hide somewhere underground.
For the Ying Jiao, who thirsted for the scale armor and blood qi, anyone who dared to obstruct it was an enemy. Since the Sky Pillar Sect's protective array was in front of it, it would break it!
