"Inescapable snare formation?"
Other than Hei tribe's experts, all the experts from Hei Sky Prefecture were confused and curious. What was inescapable snare formation? Did inescapable snare formation exist in this world? Or was Hei Lang deliberately mystifying things?
Hei Lang sensed the doubt in everyone's eyes and felt a little proud. He said with dignity:
"You don't need to doubt, this elder always keeps his word. Inescapable snare formation was personally created by Lord Prefecture Lord, how could it be fake? Hmm? "
"Plop."
Upon hearing Hei Lang mention the title of Prefecture Master, all the experts of the Blacksky Prefecture immediately knelt down on one knee. Although they knew that Hei Lang was trying to intimidate them, they still respectfully said to Hei Lang, "Your subordinate wouldn't dare."
Hei Lang's dignified gaze swept across the crowd of kneeling experts and sneered in his heart: "This is more like it. Hei tribe's prestige and status is not something you can shake. Overestimate yourselves, hmph. "
"All of you, stand up." The effect of showing off was achieved. Hei Lang stopped and allowed everyone to stand up. He looked at Red Devil City's City Lord Ge You and said:
"City Lord Ge, there is no need to kneel."
Ge You originally wanted to flatter Hei Lang, but he didn't have the chance. Now that Hei Lang named him and there was no need to kneel, he immediately felt overwhelmed with joy. He quickly bowed and said respectfully:
"Lord Hei Lang, this subordinate is here. If there is anything, just instruct this subordinate. This subordinate will do his best, even if it means death …"
"Enough."
Hei Lang impatiently interrupted Ge You's endless flattery and pledge of loyalty. He paused for a moment and glanced at everyone without leaving a trace. In the end, he praised Ge You when he saw Ge You's astonished and terrified expression.
"Ge You, this lord understands your loyalty to Hei tribe. This lord is very satisfied with this. After this matter is over, this lord will record your merit. Later, this lord will also praise you in front of the manor lord. Do a good job, Hei tribe will not mistreat you."
"Plop!"
After receiving Hei Lang's praise, Ge You was so excited that his fats were trembling. He couldn't help but kneel on one knee and said with an ecstatic expression:
"Thank you, Lord, for your praise. Thank you, Lord Mansion Master. This subordinate is overwhelmed by your favor. I am deeply grateful and pledge my loyalty to you."
"Get up." Black Wolf sneered complacently in his heart, but on the surface, he showed a respectful expression. He was trying to win over the hearts of the people, or it could be said that he was using both kindness and power.
"Thank you, milord." Ge You stood up happily. He looked at Black Wolf respectfully and waited for Black Wolf's instructions.
Even though the other powerhouses of the Obscuro Prefecture understood that Hei Lang was using both carrot-and-stick tactics, they still felt envious and jealous of Ge You for being so lucky.
The teleportation array was still flashing with white light from time to time. Hence, more and more experts joined in the ambush against Xiao Chen and the Lion King.
Hei Lang looked at the sky that was turning white. He felt that the time was almost ripe, so he gave an order in a dignified manner.
"Hei Shan, Hei Yue, you and City Lord Ge will lead all the Black Sky Mansion's experts to set up the Inescapable Snare Formation in Red Demon City. Make sure it is flawless!"
"Yes, Grand Elder." The two peak Tier Three Divine Dragon Realm experts behind Hei Lang walked out from the crowd and headed towards the experts of the Hei Clan and the Obscuro Prefecture.
Ge You felt proud of himself and straightened his back. He turned around and took a few steps. Suddenly, he thought of something and stopped. He turned back to face Hei Lang again and stammered, "Hei Lang,
He stammered, "Lord Hei Lang, there are millions of residents in the Red Demon City … The war in Red Demon City is imminent. The battle between the experts will definitely hurt the innocent. Should we evacuate the residents first …"
"There's no need," Hei Lang interrupted Ge You's request coldly. He paused for a moment and gave a ruthless reason.
"Those who achieve great things don't bother with trifles. In order to not reveal any flaws and ensure that Xiao Chen and the Lion King enter the Red Demon City to die, it's inevitable to sacrifice some citizens. City Lord Ge, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Ge You felt a chill in his heart. He didn't dare to say anything else. He secretly cursed Hei Lang for being a ruthless wolf in human skin.
…
Almost all the top-notch experts of the Obscuro Prefecture arrived at the Red Demon City one after another. They participated in the Hei Clan's impressive-sounding "Inescapable Snare Formation".
At this moment, the targets of the Inescapable Snare Formation — Xiao Chen and the Yellow Dog — were enjoying the extreme speed of the spatial shuttle.
Xiao Chen and the Yellow Dog were full of praise for the spatial shuttle. The only flaw was that Duanmu Dihua's spatial shuttle was a defective product. If a spatial shuttle could not travel through the void, what kind of thing was this?
If Duanmu Dihua's spatial shuttle was not damaged, they wouldn't have to fly all over the mountains and plains. They could just travel through the void and leave the Obscuro Prefecture with ease.
Due to the appearance of the spatial shuttle, the Fengsha Sword secretly told Xiao Chen and the Yellow Dog a piece of good news.
The good news was that the evil woman who abducted the comatose Su Qingyi seemed to be riding on a spatial shuttle as well.
At that time, the Fengsha Sword used its great ability to replay images and vaguely saw that the evil woman rode on a strange ship and disappeared into the void. Now that he thought about it, the evil woman's ship should be a spatial shuttle.
After obtaining the Fengsha Sword's speculation, Xiao Chen was ecstatic. This meant that Su Qingyi was very likely still alive and had been brought to the Central Prefecture by the evil woman.
Judging from the rarity of the spatial shuttle, the evil woman who abducted Su Qingyi was most likely a high-ranking member of a large clan or aristocratic family in the Central Prefecture. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to own a spatial shuttle.
Now that Xiao Chen was more confident in finding Su Qingyi, the scope of his choices had shrunk by quite a bit. His search targets could basically be locked onto the twelve great clans and four aristocratic families in the Central Prefecture.
Duanmu Dihua had already told him which four aristocratic families were, so Xiao Chen specifically asked Duanmu Dihua about the surnames and addresses of the twelve great clans.
The twelve great clans were Zhao, Qiansun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Wang, Feng, Chen, and Wei. According to the order of strength and status, the Zhao clan was the strongest, the Qian clan was second, and the Wei clan was the weakest.
Although the Wei clan was the weakest among the twelve great clans, it was much stronger than the Hei clan. Its status as one of the twelve great clans in the Central Prefecture was based on strength and not on bragging.
With a plan in mind, Xiao Chen's mood became a lot better. He seemed to have forgotten that he was still in a dangerous situation. He had a plan, which was to use the Red Demon City's teleportation formation to leave the Black Sky Mansion, then head to the four aristocratic families and the twelve great clans one by one.
Of course, if he didn't have enough strength, Xiao Chen wouldn't act rashly and would use reason to inquire. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to save Su Qingyi, his brothers would also have to pay with their lives.
Once he found out where Su Qingyi was, Xiao Chen would then think of a method to acknowledge Su Qingyi, or Xiao Chen and his brothers could come up with a plan to rescue Su Qingyi from the evil woman's clan.
As for revenge, it wasn't that he didn't want to do it, but it wasn't the right time yet. Xiao Chen had already sworn in front of Su Qingyi's grave that he would eliminate the evil woman and the clan behind her. However, he had to act within his capabilities. Overestimating one's capabilities was something only an idiot would do.
Xiao Chen still had many relatives and friends in the Desolate God Continent and Seven Star Island waiting for him to return safely. He mustn't die like a fool in the Central Prefecture. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to save Su Qingyi, he would also cause more people who loved him to mourn.
"Swish! Swish!
Swish! "The spatial shuttle had been flying for several hours and had consumed over a dozen yellow-grade spirit stones. This consumption might be unbearable for ordinary martial artists, but it wasn't a problem for Duanmu Dihua and Xiao Chen.
The sky was completely bright, and the skies were clear. Xiao Chen and his group's vision was much wider, allowing them to easily detect if anyone was approaching.
The Central Prefecture was incomparably vast. There might be a lot of people, but most of them were concentrated in the cities. There were only a few commoners outside the city or in the countryside, planting crops.
In a world where martial artists were revered, the people were relatively more valiant. There were many hunters among the commoners who relied on hunting for a living. Therefore, they liked to eat meat and didn't have much demand for vegetarian food.
