…
When Venerable Pingtian pushed the Pope to the corridor, the dense evil spirits had already collided with the guard team. As long as you look down at the fence, you will find that the number of evil spirits is incalculable, almost filling the entire wall of the courtyard. generally.
The Salvation Cult occupies an absolute advantageous location, which is what they rely on to persevere - the sunlight in the sky is not bright, but it can still illuminate the entire wellhead and penetrate about twenty floors underground. In this area, Mei's movements will be greatly delayed, and then she will become the target of crossbow arrows, thunder stones, and various spells.
It's just that this time, the scale of the evil attack seems to be much larger than in the past.
"Ahem..." Wuji coughed twice weakly, "How is the situation now?"
"Sir, it's hard to say." Qi Angel, who took over the command, replied truthfully, "There may seem to be many enemies, but they are all small charms, and the garrison can still resist them. But according to past rules, the intensity of the harassment will gradually increase. If this is just the first wave of offensive, then the subsequent situation... may be quite dangerous."
"You mean a big demon will appear?"
"I think there may be more than one."
When the charm transforms into a demon, the damage of many conventional attacks will become minimal. Such enemies must be dealt with by high-level alchemists alone. The strongest combat power of the Salvation Sect is the Venerable. There are still two Venerables who are still in other countries and have not returned. Venerable Huntian and Venerable Shengtian have disappeared again. There are only three people in the base camp who can fight. For the Salvation Sect, It's really not optimistic.
"Where are the people left behind from Jinxia's mission?" Monogai suddenly changed the subject, "Why didn't I see them? I remember that there was Yuromo from the Privy Council among the mission, right?"
"This... I have sent people to notify them, but they have not responded." Venerable Qitian said with some hesitation, "According to the rules, the other party is a messenger after all -"
"Is now the time to care about your identity?" Monogai suddenly interrupted him sharply, "There has never been an accident during the quiet period, why did this happen to them as soon as they came? I said before that they are opportunities, but they are not equal to I have complete trust in them! Yao Wu!"
"My subordinate is here." Venerable Pingtian said with cupped hands.
"Go to the envoy's residence and control Jinxia's people. Among them are Yuyi and Qingjian. If there is resistance, I allow you to use coercive means." Wu Ji said in a deep voice.
"Take orders!"
Venerable Pingtian raised the corner of his mouth, beckoned for a team of alchemists, then turned and walked towards the envoy's residence.
It is true that Yuyi is difficult to deal with, but she has no intention of confronting him head-on.
Something like a covenant is both fragile and important to both parties. Treating it as a check and balance condition will naturally achieve half the result with half the effort. Before the situation becomes clear, the opponent may be forced to give up resistance and surrender out of overall considerations. That way she would have many opportunities to infect their souls and turn them into unconscious pawns.
If the other party resists, then most of the people he leads will suffer heavy casualties. Let alone cooperation between the two parties, this blood feud alone may not be settled.
Although she didn't know why King Yong reacted so strongly to the listener's news, His Majesty always had his own considerations. Now that the order had been issued, it no longer mattered that she had hidden her identity for nearly a hundred years. As long as the trust between the two parties is broken and the patio is captured, her mission will be completed.
Arriving at the door of her residence, Yao Wu nodded to her subordinates, "Guard the entrance and exit and wait for my orders." Then she opened the door and asked sternly, "What are your intentions? I will treat you politely. But he deliberately attracts evil spirits and disrupts the foundation of our religion—"
Halfway through her words, she suddenly froze on the spot.
There was no one in the room!
How is this going
Venerable Pingtian grabbed the guard responsible for monitoring the mission, "Where are the people living here?"
"S-Sir, I don't know—" the latter stammered, "They even saw off Her Highness the Princess before, and she never came out after returning to her residence!"
"Have you never come out?" Lord Tian Ping felt his forehead jump. "Come here, seal this floor, and then search it carefully for me. Don't miss every corner!"
She didn't expect this to be the case.
The Jinxia Mission did not fall into her hands, and the two sides did not fight due to conflict.
The other party seemed to have premeditated it and disappeared without a trace under her nose.
…
A special train was heading towards the outside of Baiyao Mountain at a fast speed, and the people on the train were Qian, Olina and others.
"I didn't expect it to be as Xia Fan expected. An accident happened just as I entered the courtyard..." Yuyi looked at the direction of the courtyard with a solemn expression, "I don't know what the conditions of the people underground are like..."
"Is it okay for us to leave without saying goodbye?" Shan Hui was a little uneasy. In his opinion, this emergency plan was a bit exaggerated. The night before departure, Xia Fan and the princess gathered everyone together and explained the possible situations. One of them was that once the contact between the upper and lower wells was lost, the people on top should leave the patio area immediately and must not stay in the courtyard area. Stay here.
Ning Wanjun's idea is one step closer. She believes that the strength of the mission and the Salvation Church is not equal. If there are enemies that interfere with it, it is easy to fall into passivity. Therefore, the best countermeasure is to contact the Jinxia Army stationed in Baili Town as soon as possible and introduce the army into the Tianjing District. In this way, whether evil spirits are causing trouble or someone has evil intentions, Jinxia's side can respond more calmly, and the efforts to rescue the trapped people will be greater.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess's judgment is correct." Qian said decisively, "If this accident is caused by the enemy, there must be a backup plan. If we leave first, we may not be able to come out again. Thinking about it on the other hand, if this is the case It was just an accident. We also need reliable power to rescue His Highness. It makes sense both emotionally and rationally. At most, the alliance with the Salvation Cult has failed. Jinxia City can live without the Salvation Cult, but it cannot live without Her Royal Highness the Princess and Xia Fan. , so notifying the military to intervene as early as possible is the way to seize the initiative."
In fact, they did not all return to their residences after seeing off the vanguard.
The past few days have been enough for everyone to get a thorough understanding of the Salvation Cult's guard team - most of the patrollers in the living area are non-qi sensitive, while the alchemists basically gather in the corridor area, mainly responsible for monitoring the movements of evil spirits. Only in important areas such as food distribution areas and water sources are separate guards of Qi sensers at the level of asking and testing fronts. This allowed the illusion talisman drawn by Li to easily deceive the guards who led them, and they arrived at the special train stop without being noticed by anyone.
When the siren sounded, Qian almost didn't hesitate at all. He immediately knocked out the two warlocks stationed at the entrance of the special train and controlled the passage out of Baiyao Mountain. At this point, the Salvation Cult was no longer able to stop the mission and the others.
The Jinxia Army, which had already received instructions to prepare for war, had already assembled and lined up in Baili Town, just waiting for the official order to enter the Baiyao Mountains.
