The Path of the Sage

Chapter 157: Virtual Tower Pearl

Views:

The red paper with the official seal was torn open, but no news was conveyed to the outside world.

"Before the mirage appeared, the dragon with the bead in its mouth... was it really the Jiao King? Not the Jiao King's grandson or something like that? The worst Jiao King is also a Demon King, equivalent to a Grand Secretary!" said a soldier.

Hong Cheng said in a deep voice: "I have seen this Jiao King before. It is a demon king. It once fought with Li Daxueshi for a while before escaping. This time, I am afraid it is here for revenge!"

"Isn't he afraid that Grand Secretary Li will find out? What should we do?"

"Don't act rashly! You don't know how powerful the mirage is! The sea mirage absorbs the breath exhaled by the Dragon Saint, and over time it will condense into a bead containing the illusion of endless towers and palaces. It is called the Void Tower Bead, and it is even recorded in the "Records of the Grand Historian". Once the Void Tower Bead appears, it forms a powerful illusion. Except for the dragon clan, no one, whether it is the demon clan, the barbarian clan or the human clan, has the slightest chance of seeing through it, unless they have special treasures. Even if Li Daxueshi is trapped by the Void Tower Bead, he can't see through the illusion. Of course, he should have a way to break the Void Tower Bead, but we can't do it."

"Although we have left the protection range of the Holy Temple and the Holy Temple cannot detect us, it is impossible for the Great Confucian Zhenwen not to notice us. This mirage cannot trap the Great Confucian Zhenwen."

"I don't know about that." Hong Cheng said helplessly.

Fang Yun still looked towards the seaside and whispered, "The Jiao King is using the Dragon Saint's dragon scales to suppress the power of the Great Confucian True Text, preventing the Great Confucian True Text from issuing a warning. The Great Confucian True Text's resistance is very strong, and it will take at most half an hour to get rid of it! In this half hour, the Jiao King can do nothing, and his river monsters can only attack the port! We must escape from the mirage as soon as possible and warn the Holy Temple!"

"Ah? How did you know?" Hong Cheng and others looked at him in disbelief.

"Military tactics!" Fang Yun said.

Fang Yun ate a fake dragon ball, which gave him some of the power of the dragon clan, such as not getting wet in the rain and being able to breathe freely in water.

Everyone only saw themselves in the Illusion City, but in Fang Yun's eyes, there were white air currents in front of him, and these white air currents made people feel like they were in the clouds.

Fang Yun also saw that at the seashore beyond the clouds, a dragon scale and a bead emitting cloud mist were floating in front of the demon king, and the dragon scale was trembling slightly.

The demon king was yelling and issuing orders, and Fang Yun heard it clearly, so he said those words.

There was a hint of sadness in Fang Yun's eyes.

Although everyone was suspicious, they did not dare to speak out. Hong Cheng hurriedly said, "Then you take us away! We must go out to warn! Without the great scholar's true text, so many river monsters can quickly break through Yuhai Port."

Fang Yun immediately said, "Follow me, don't wander around. Otherwise, don't blame me if you die!"

But Fang Yun did not walk towards Yuhai City, but instead walked towards the location of the demon tribe on the seashore.

Captain Shi grabbed Fang Yun's sleeve and said, "Are you crazy? That's clearly the direction of the sea. The monsters are all there!"

Fang Yun said in a deep voice: "But that's the exit."

Captain Shi was stunned, and so were the others. They all heard the sadness and decisiveness in Fang Yun's tone.

All these veterans realized that since that was the exit, there must be a large number of demons guarding it. Even if they went out to tear up the official seal and red document, they would be killed by the demons within a dozen breaths. And it was midnight now. It would take at least twenty breaths for Li Wenying to receive the news and rush over.

"Go!" Captain Shi gave the order, and no one was afraid. Everyone took firm steps and followed closely.

A soldier in his twenties walked and said, "I have two older brothers and a younger brother. I can't rely on me to carry on the family line! When we get to the exit, I will be the first to rush out to attract them! Then the second person will rush out and tear up three official seals and red documents to warn them! Fang Yun, you are a soldier, your life is more valuable than ours. You will be the last one to die. We in the Dinghai Navy cannot let you die first!"

"I am a squad leader and also a student. If there are evil soldiers blocking the exit, I can rush out and push them away, and let the second person tear off the official seal and red document. You are not a student and your body is not as good as mine! I'll do it!" Hong Cheng said.

There were only fifty people in this team, but as soon as Hong Cheng finished speaking, more than a dozen people said they would rush out first.

Captain Shi's eyes were filled with relief, and then he said in a very stern tone: "Listen to my orders! Hong Cheng and I will rush out together, and Deputy Captain Ye will rush out after us and tear up the four official seals and red documents! Who still has official seals and red documents? Gather together!"

A team leader, a deputy team leader and three squad leaders took out all the official seals and red documents as they walked, and finally collected eight of them.

Captain Du of the Second Squad grabbed the four official seals and said, "Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. I will not disobey them. But please allow me to go out fourth and tear up the second official seal, just in case!"

Captain Shi immediately said, "Okay! You two hide the official seal and red document well, don't let the monsters see it, take it out when you get to the exit, and tear it up immediately after you leave the exit!"

"yes!"

"Keep following Fang Yun!" Captain Shi said, and took a few quick steps, knife in hand, following behind Fang Yun to protect him.

Everyone was very cautious. In their eyes, all around them was Yuhai City at night, and they couldn't see what was happening outside.

But in Fang Yun's eyes, this mirage was just a big cage interwoven with white dragon energy. Although there were gaps in the white dragon energy that allowed one to see outside, those gaps were blocked by the power of the Xu Lou Pearl. News could not be transmitted, and it was even more impossible for people to get out.

Inside the cage, white dragon energy turned into buildings. Some of the dragon energy was very gentle and flowed slowly, so Fang Yun did not feel threatened. But some of the dragon energy flowed extremely fast, and Fang Yun felt a hint of threat through the power of the fake dragon ball.

Fang Yun continued walking when he suddenly heard a scream. He hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and saw white dragon energy boiling there, submerging a team.

The dragon energy returned to calm and flowed slowly, leaving no dust behind.

Fang Yun looked back and saw that everyone was normal and it seemed that they didn't hear the scream at all.

Fang Yun felt a stronger sense of crisis and shouted, "Follow me and start running!" and quickened his pace.

Everyone started running immediately.

After a while, the soldiers were shocked because Fang Yun led them into a dead end and was rushing towards the wall.

"Fang Yun, you..." Hong Cheng said.

"Don't be afraid, this wall is fake, follow me and crash into it!" Fang Yun said and rushed forward.

Fang Yun disappeared from everyone's sight, and Captain Shi rushed forward without hesitation, so the others could only bite the bullet and do the same.

Everyone felt as if they had passed through a breeze. They saw Fang Yun again and saw a new path.

There was a glimmer of hope in everyone's eyes, and more trust in each other's luck.

White streams of luck went up and down, left and right. Fang Yun only focused on those that posed a threat, and when he encountered those that were non-threatening and gentle dragon energy, he would just crash into them.

Any dragon energy touched by Fang Yun will disappear little by little.

Soon, Fang Yun saw that the team closest to the exit was about to reach the exit, but more than 200 demon soldiers and three demon generals rushed in and blocked the exit tightly, not letting anyone out.

At the same time, Fang Yun suddenly lowered his head and slowed down his pace, whispering: "Don't run, walk!"

Everyone hurriedly changed from running to walking. Although they didn't understand why, after the experience of crashing into the fake wall again and again, they had unconditionally obeyed Fang Yun's orders.

After walking for a while, Fang Yun secretly raised his head and saw that the dragon king was looking in the direction of Yuhai Port. He breathed a sigh of relief because the dragon king actually turned his head and looked at him! Fortunately, he reacted quickly just now, otherwise he would have been discovered.

"Keep running!" In addition to observing the white dragon energy, Fang Yun now also has to keep observing the Dragon King.

The dragon king had half of his body above the water, emitting a huge pressure. The seawater within a mile around him was bubbling and steaming. Except for a turtle demon, all the river monsters fled far away.

Fang Yun also saw that the river monster army was attacking Yuhai Port. There were no monster civilians among these river monsters, and the worst were monster soldiers. Thousands of monster generals were extremely fierce, and Yuhai Port could not hold out for long.

The Jiao King looked at Yuhai Harbor and shouted in not very standard human language: "Hahaha, I know Li Wenying is in the city! But I will take action at this time, break through Yuhai Harbor and leave immediately. When he comes, he will only see a destroyed port! Kill my turtle and slaughter my river monster, how can I not avenge this! I have already asked my father to ban you humans from climbing the Dragon Platform for ten years! Hahaha..."

Fang Yun ran silently, thinking to himself that this world was really a coincidence. Not long after he ate the fake dragon ball, he was trapped by the father of the owner of the fake dragon ball. He hoped that the Dragon King would not find out that he had eaten the fake dragon ball.

After running for a while, Fang Yun discovered that the team of soldiers closest to the exit had encountered the monsters, but were quickly killed.

Fang Yun's heart sank to the bottom. There was no way his fifty men could break through the defense line of the two hundred monsters, not to mention that there was a monster commander guarding the exit.

"The Dragon King cannot use his clones to control the Void Tower Pearl to kill us now, so he can only rely on the demon soldiers to block the door. But when he leaves, he will surely kill everyone in the mirage! Since we are all going to die, we might as well give it a try!"

A ruthless look flashed in Fang Yun's eyes. He accelerated again, and the soldiers behind him continued to follow.

Soon, Fang Yun met the fourth team and shouted to them: "I can see through illusions. If you want to live, follow me!"

Captain Shi immediately followed and shouted: "Captain Wang, it's me!"

The two sides were clearly less than ten feet apart, but the team of soldiers did not react at all and continued to move forward cautiously.

Only when they got closer did they look over with happy expressions on their faces.

"People from Team Three, why are you here?" Captain Wang asked happily.

Captain Shi said, "No more nonsense! Follow us now and talk as you run! Let's go to the exit!"

Captain Wang immediately said, "Let's go! Lao Shi can't be wrong!"

In this way, Fang Yun led the four teams to run towards the exit.

Gradually, Fang Yun encountered more and more teams. When he was near the exit, there were already five teams with a total of 248 people following Fang Yun.

Fang Yun stopped and could reach the door by going around a white air flow. Once he went around it, he would be discovered by the monsters at the door.

"There are two hundred monsters guarding the front." Fang Yun said.

More than two hundred people were panting and staring at Fang Yun.

Captain Shi said: "You can see through the mirage, and you are a descendant of a military strategist. During the day, your military tactics were also good. Now, please give the order!"

"Please give the order!" Everyone said almost in unison, and every word contained a heavy trust and determination.
