“Since the enemies are gathering in one spot, we can take one of the narrow roads. We can all evacuate the faction so that when they come, they wouldn’t find us here!” said Qiao’er in an innocent manner.
“No!” Jiang Ziya shook his head and said, “Qi Yueting said that the Blood Descendants are monitoring in the air. The moment we leave the Puzzle Formation, the Blood Descendants will definitely know about it! The leader of the Blood Descendants is also an elite with Celestial cultivation! I don’t think we will be able to escape!”
“That’s right!” Feng Qingyang confirmed, “We cannot escape, we can only rely on Puzzle Formation and Thunder Pool Formation to buy us some time! If Sifu hasn’t woken up, then we can’t go anywhere!”
Something clicked in Qiao’er and she lowered her voice and said, “I understand… I hope that Brother Xiaobei wakes up as soon as possible…”
“There’s still two more hours before daylight. What should we do next?” Feng Qingyang asked.
“Order all three a.s.sault teams to retreat back to Puzzle Formation first!”
Jiang Ziya said, “We need to crack our brains and think of how we can delay the time! Just until Xiangyu arrives, then we can only depend on our fate…”
Jiang Ziya did not finish his sentence.
With Xiangyu alone fighting against four elites with Celestial cultivation might not be a smart move. Not even he could hold them off for long!
It would all be up to fate…
Feng Qingyang nodded, and with Qiao’er’s help, immediately gave the orders to the three teams.
The first and second team had all successfully infiltrated deep into the Puzzle Formation.
The third team was led by Wu Aofeng, Old w.a.n.g, NeZha, and Hong Hai’er. They had Liu Chunyi as hostage as they walked into the mist.
At the same time.
Enemies of all strengths were rus.h.i.+ng to the north to gather there. That was exactly where Xuanjian Faction was.
All these leaders looked terrible. Their followers’ morale was low and they were filled with fear and unease. That was because they had started out with 1,000 men and all that was left now were 200 of them.
“d.a.m.n it! This operation is just stupid!” Su Dongruo said dismally, “We haven’t even seen Chen Xiaobei’s shadows and we had already lost 80% of our people! We haven’t even had our revenge and we had already been beaten to a pulp by Chen Xiaobei! This is a huge embarra.s.sment!”
A few of the leaders looked very uneasy. Deep inside, they were all as weighed down as Su Dongruo.
“We are all aware of Chen Xiaobei’s craftiness. We don’t need you to tell us that!” Yue Changkong said through gritted teeth. “Now we need to think about what our next move is! Anything else is just nonsense!”
“Say it! Why don’t you tell us then? I’m all-ears! What great plans do you have in store?”
Since the beginning of the martial arts compet.i.tion, he and Yue Changkong had been locking horns.
Now that their plans suffered a setback, they were naturally at each other’s necks again.
“Why don’t each of you share your thoughts?”
Yue Changkong did not think that things would turn out like that. He really did not know what to say so he pa.s.sed the ball to the others.
The others looked at each other—completely clueless.
“Since no one has any ideas, why don’t we just retreat for now? We can talk more later on!”
Situ Hengfeng had no beef with Chen Xiaobei. All Chen Xiaobei did to him was made him kowtow in front of him during the airport incident. That was why Situ Hengfeng was the first to suggest retreating.
Just as he had finish speaking, all the leaders gave Situ Hengfeng a good scolding.
“Retreat my a.s.s! ” Yue Changkong spat. “Chen Xiaobei took 5,000 of my Spiritual Stones! I will not let him get off the hook!”
“And my Water Shattering Dagger! I will get it back even if I have to lose my life!”
“Elder Situ! You are the elder of Mount Shu Faction! Why are you trying to disrupt my plan now? What are you planning secretly in your heart?!” asked Xu Changqing in a serious manner.
“I… I meant that we should go back for now… Not let him off…”
Situ Hengfeng felt terribly misunderstood.
“Fool! If we leave now, Chen Xiaobei will also split! Then where would we find him then?” Su Dongruo scolded, “Chen Xiaobei killed Xia Dinxi! One of my Green Town Seven Heroes! He was our faction leader’s favorite disciple! I will not leave until I have my revenge!”
Since the three big shots had expressed their stance, the Yap, Zhuang, and Liu Family below them had no choice but to agree.
Situ Hengfeng was the only odd one out so he had to give in. “Since everyone has made their decision, then I have nothing more to say. Whatever you plan next, I will throw in my lot and I won’t ever mention anything about retreating.”
Yue Changkong said promptly, “Since no one else wants to retreat, then we’ll attack from the front. We’ll have to act fast and invade Bei Xuan Faction!”
Su Dongruo furrowed his brow and said, “Speaking of which—if we attack from the front, Chen Xiaobei might escape from the back! What should we do then?”
“Elder Su, you don’t have to worry about it!”
Just then a Silver-Winged Myrmidons flew down from the sky and said in not-so-fluent Mandarin, “The Grand Leader, Gordon surveyed the area and has already placed our people at different locations as surveillance. If we spot Chen Xiaobei leaving the mist with his people, we will be able to quickly confirm his location.”
Those who were listening lit up at this.
“Then what are we still waiting for?”
Yue Changkong raised his arm and signaled to his people, “Everyone, come with me! We’ll invade Bei Xuan Faction!”
“Let’s go!”
A group of leaders and the leftover 100 over men shouted at the top of their lungs, regained their morale and charges forward into the mist!
“Grand Elder Zhuang, the fog ahead is very thick. You will have to clear the way!” Yue Changkong ordered.
“Alright!” Zhuang Bihuang replied and walked to the edge of the fog.
“Earth Dragon! Shatter!” Zhuang Bihuang cried out.
He then bent his knees and slammed his fist into the ground.
Their men watching were very confused. “What in the world is Grand Elder Zhuang doing? What does. .h.i.tting the ground have anything to do with clearing the mist?”
Rumble!
Rrrrrumble…
As the crowd was trying to make sense of what had just happened, the ground beneath them began to quake.
Apart from the leaders, the rest of the ordinary warriors fell to the ground.
“Celestial phenomenon! Grand Elder Zhuang had just triggered a Celestial phenomenon!” someone exclaimed, explaining the fact of the matter!
Zhuang Bihuang was an elite with early phase of Celestial cultivation and the element that he practiced on was earth element! That was why he could communicate with the earth element in his surroundings and triggered Earth Celestial Phenomenon!
Craaaaaack…
Then from the point where Zhuang Bihuang’s fist met the ground, the earth cracked and it spread expeditiously, growing longer and longer opened forming a ditch that looked like a dragon!
After about half a minute, Zhuang Bihuang stood up and said with confidence, “The Earth Dragon had landed on the foundation of Bei Xuan Faction! All we need to do is followed the pa.s.sage that I create underground, we will be able to reach Bei Xuan Faction!”
