Chapter 899 Faithful and Brave Men
Pa.s.sing through several twisty streets, they immediately felt that they were getting lost. Then they arrived at an ordinary farmyard.
Surrounded by the green wattled wall, the farmyard could be seen everything inside clearly from the outside. There was nothing strange about it. But when they pushed the wattled door and went in, they found that the scene inside was actually completely different from the outside world. What they saw from the outside was just an illusion created by the tactical deployment.
The tidy white marble floor was like a small square, where eight light golden pillars occupied the position of all sides. In the middle of the pillars, there was a small inscription tactical deployment which had very detailed and complicated patterns. At first glance, it looked like countless ants crawling and whirling that would make people feel dizzy.
Hundreds of powerful white-robed soldiers were waiting seriously.
“First Young Master. Second Young Master.” Seeing Ding Busan and Ding Busi coming in, a white-armored soldier with three wisps of long black beards under his chin said with joy, “You’re back. How’s it going?”
Ding Busi laughed and said, “Uncle Wu, everything is going well. This is my uncle.”
At this moment, the middle-aged white-armored soldier Wu was overjoyed after seeing the person behind Busan and Busi. Looking at Ding Shengtan with admiration, he knelt on the ground with a plop and said, “Commander-in-chief, I’m Wu Feng, the chiliarch of the third vanguard battalion of the Western Expedition Army. Pay my respect to you.”
Hundreds of armored soldiers behind Wu Feng also knelt in unison and said excitedly, “Commander-in-chief, the sergeants of the third battalion of the Western Expedition Army also pay our respects to you.”
Ding Shengtan was slightly stunned. Looking at the middle-aged white-armored soldier, he raised his hand and said, “It turns out to be the warriors of the Western Expedition Army. Please get up. It’s been hard for you these years.”
Wu Feng was still filled with excitement while he was lifted by an overwhelming force. “Back then, I was only a lowly chiliarch. Although I’ve only seen you a few times from afar, your heroic bearing was still deeply engraved in my mind. It’s my honor to be able to serve you again.”
Ding Busi laughed and said, “Well, Uncle Wu, it is not a good place to stay for a long time. The men of the Fake G.o.d Emperor will reach here soon and activate the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation immediately, so let’s leave the Stone Mouth City first. When we get outside, we can do whatever we want without worrying about pursuing troops of G.o.d’s Palace.”
“Yes, sir.”
Wu Feng was so excited that he immediately ordered the white-robed soldiers to prepare for it.
The master of inscription tactical deployment immediately activated the tactical deployment. Layers of bright silver flames rose from the complicated patterns. The strange power stirred the s.p.a.ce, and the s.p.a.ce barrier began to float like flowing water. It was a powerful teleport tactical deployment, which required a lot of energy to break through the defense of the ten-thousand-year-old military ancient town, so it was very easy to attract the attention of G.o.d’s Palace Army in the city. Therefore, the army would approach here before the tactical deployment had been fully activated. Fortunately, the eight golden pillars around the courtyard also released their force and completely blocked the fluctuating power of majestic s.p.a.ce.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The tactical deployment trembled as the s.p.a.ce barrier turned softer and softer.
Ding Busan, Ding Busi and other people also stared nervously at the tactical deployment.
Crack!
Crack!
Suddenly, there was a slight cracking sound.
Flaws appeared on the golden pillar that guarded all directions. Obviously, the flaws showed that it was a little difficult to withstand the horrible power of the teleport tactical deployment and was about to lose its majestic aura.
“Hurry up. Come on.” Ding Busi was a little nervous.
Just now, they got rid of the hunting of the Tenth Divine Prince in order to buy some time to activate the tactical deployment. With the control of the G.o.d’s Palace over the Stone Mouth City, it is for sure that the pursuing troops would find this place soon. If they could not leave before the troops arrived, once the tactical deployment was disrupted and its operation became chaotic, all their plans would be ruined.
“Fourth Young Master, the Fake G.o.d Emperor’s Black Armored Army is heading this way…” A white-robed master, who was in charge of supervising, anxiously came in and told this news.
Wu Feng changed countenance and said, “Master Tiancheng, how long will it take?”
An inscription formation master with white hair and beard said slowly, “Half an hour.” As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately closed his mouth with his face turning pale, for he could no longer be distracted while operating the tactical deployment with all his strength.
Half an hour?
Everyone felt deeply shocked.
The army of the Fake G.o.d Emperor would probably arrive in less than half an hour.
“I’m going to lead some men to stop them outside.” Wu Feng clenched his teeth and spoke decisively, and he clearly understood that if he went outside at this moment he would definitely be killed, but it was also a method to stall for the time at the price of his own life.
“We’ll accompany you, milord. Even if we have to die, we’ll block the b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.” Other white-robed soldiers all stepped forward as well.
“You will be killed,” Ding Busi said with a dignified look.
Wu Feng laughed and said, “It’s enough for me to see the Commander-in-chief again in my life. It was a supreme glory for our generation of sergeants of the Western Expedition Army to die for you. If other old buddies know about it, they will definitely envy us…, Commander-in-chief, Wu Feng is preparing to die, hoping to work for you again in the next life.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Feng was about to leave with the white-robed soldiers.
At this moment, Ding Busan, who had been silent, slipped near them and said, “Good man, I’ll go with you.”
Wu Feng was shocked. “Third Young Master, how could it be?”
Ding Busan said calmly, “You die for your Commander-in-chief, and I fought for my uncle. Why can’t I do that?”
Wu Feng fell silent.
He knew that, while Third Young Master rarely spoke, what he said would never change. Since he had already made a decision, no one could let him go back on his words.
“Don’t go out. You’ll die in vain. My old body is worthless now, let me send you out…” the kind Inscriptionist suddenly said. Before the crowd understood his words, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a cloud of crimson blood fog, which sprayed on the inscription tactical deployment. The slowly operating tactical deployment suddenly went crazy, and a crack appeared in the void barrier…
“Master Tiancheng…” Everyone exclaimed.
“Master!” The other young Inscriptionists also cried out sadly.
The tactical deployment was driven by his essence and the blood of the amiable old man. From now on, even if he could survive, his cultivation would be destroyed.
“Go!” Master Tiancheng shouted angrily, and then he smiled. “Hahaha, I have never submitted to the Fake G.o.d Emperor. I can sleep forever with a clear conscience.” After that, with a bang, his whole body directly exploded. All the flesh, blood, energy, essence, and Power of the Origin of his whole body turned into a red mist, which seemed to be alive, attaching to the inscription patterns on the white marble floor and burned like flames.
He fed the tactical deployment with his life!
It was a sleeping inscription tactical deployment awakened by the Inscriptionist who used all his essential blood and all his lifetime understanding of the deployment.
Such a price was beyond redemption.
Boom!
Terrifying spatial energy erupted with fluctuations.
The silent tactical deployment came to life, and a s.p.a.ce door instantly appeared in the courtyard, stable and clear.
“Master…” The young Inscriptionists cried.
Wu Feng, Ding Busan, Ding Busi and others wanted to stop him, but it was too late. These iron-willed men couldn’t help but burst into tears at this moment. Ding Busi wiped his tears and shouted. “Let’s go!”
“Here it is.”
As the Black Armored Army cheered, the wattle yard was blasted directly.
With the illusion disappearing, the broken white marble floor and broken golden pillar displayed their tactical deployment. There was still a strong aura of s.p.a.ce elements in the air. The ground was stained with blood, but the eldest prince and the others had long disappeared.
“Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation?” The Tenth Divine Prince rushed over as soon as possible. When he saw this scene, his face suddenly darkened. “It seems that they have broken the tactical deployment of the Stone Mouth City and then escaped. Someone is waiting for them here… Issue my order now. Ask the garrison outside the city to start hunting immediately and search the entire Stone Mouth Town, finally send a letter to the Divine Capital.”
“Yes, Milord.” Immediately, a master took the order and left.
The Tenth Divine Prince thought for a moment and said, “As for our security in this city, it also cannot be loosened. Search it over and over again. Never stop searching.”
He was worried that it was just a ploy to distract their attention. Maybe the eldest Divine Prince and others were still hiding in the city.
In addition to the G.o.d’s Palace Army, there were also major forces and masters from all sides around here.
“Everyone,” the Tenth Divine Prince cupped his fist and said politely, “thank you for your help this time. I repeat, if anyone of you can provide any information about the traitor or capture and kill him, the G.o.d Emperor must offer ample rewards.”
“We wouldn’t dare!”
“It’s our duty.”
“Our Nalan Family is willing to share the G.o.d Emperor’s burdens for him.”
“Our Nulan Mountain Family also thinks so.”
The major forces around him also saluted back one after another.
Other people were also silent in the dark.
Ding Hao had already taken off the bronze grimace mask and changed his face with a disguising method. At this time, he was just a burly man with a bulged face mixed in the crowd. Seeing this scene, he snorted silently. But he was temporarily relieved, for Ding Busi had left with his father.
When Ding Hao was in the Gathering of the World, he used the Divine Senses Arcane of Mind Essential, secretly planting hidden Divine Sense brands on most people, including Ding Busan and Ding Busi, so he didn’t have to worry about being unable to find them.
“It seems that these two cousins desire to help my father wholeheartedly. When his subordinates heard this news, they appeared immediately. With these loyal and brave men around him, maybe I don’t have to worry about him so much. Even after so many years, they are still loyal to him. My father is indeed an amazing person.”
Ding Hao felt a little proud.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Under the arrangement of the Tenth Divine Prince, the major forces confirmed their ident.i.ties first and went out of the city to hunt down and kill them with the Black Armored Army, yet some people stayed in the city to take a chance. Feng Xingli, who had appeared before, also hid his tracks and no one knew where he was. It was very easy for a Semi G.o.d Realm Master to hide.
Ding Hao was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly…
“Mn? What’s going on?”
