The formation is broken
The power of the formation in front of them was not too strong. It was mainly used to block the communication and prevent Luo Tianyao and others from asking for help. However, Yang Qi and others were always entangled and had no time to break the formation.
Yang Qi's eyes fell on Luo Tianyao and he said calmly, "It should be your reinforcements that have arrived."
Although the power of this formation is not strong, it has at least reached the level of Martial Honor. Ordinary practitioners cannot break it at all. The strength of the people coming will not be too weak, and they are likely to be the reinforcements arranged by Luo Tianyao.
"Reinforcements? That may not be the case!" Luo Tianyao smiled coldly.
Yang Qi was slightly startled, and said with a wry smile, "The internal situation of your Netherworld Sect is really complicated."
"The identity of a saint may not be as glamorous as outsiders see." Luo Tianyao sighed. The identity of a saint allowed her to have more resources and a higher status than ordinary practitioners, but at the same time, it would also bring her more dangers!
Yang Qi nodded slightly. The secular power struggles in ancient China were already extremely dangerous, let alone the power struggles among practitioners. Although the cultivation world adheres to the principle of respecting the strong, it is not easy to suppress everyone.
Whoosh~
In the distant sky, a figure flew over. It was an old man in a gray robe. In just a moment, he arrived in front of Luo Tianyao and the other two.
Seeing that Luo Tianyao was injured, the visitor's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "Saint, are you okay?"
"Elder Xu, I'm fine." Luo Tianyao shook her head slightly and said, "By the way, why is Elder Xu here?"
"I happened to be near Tong'an City. I learned that someone had set up a large formation near Tong'an City, so I immediately rushed here to investigate." Elder Xu said with a look of fear, "I didn't expect the Saint Girl to be here too. Fortunately, the Saint Girl was not injured, otherwise how could I return to the sect with dignity?"
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Xu. I'm just slightly injured." Luo Tianyao chuckled.
Elder Xu's eyes swept across the messy battlefield, a faint murderous intent surged through his body, and he snorted coldly, "Who on earth dared to attack the Saint of our Netherworld Sect?"
"It was Tu Wanjun. He suddenly attacked, and Junior Sister Guo died to protect me. If a friend hadn't happened to pass by, I might have died here." Luo Tianyao said with emotion.
Elder Xu's eyes flashed with a strange look, and then he asked in surprise, "What, it's Tu Wanjun?"
Who is Tu Wanjun? He is an eight-star martial master who is not someone Luo Tianyao can resist at all. But the three of them only sacrificed one Guo Xuetong and killed Tu Wanjun
"Who is this senior?" Elder Xu's gaze fell on Yang Qi. At this time, Yang Qi had dispersed his secret technique and had the cultivation level of a six-star Martial Master, while Elder Xu was only a five-star Martial Master. It was not wrong for him to call Yang Qi a senior.
"I am just an unknown person." Yang Qi smiled indifferently. He had no intention of revealing his identity. He did not want to get involved in the power struggle within the Netherworld Sect.
"Senior, you are joking. How can a strong man who can kill the Blood Shadow Demon Slayer be an unknown person?" Elder Xu said respectfully.
The reputation of Blood Shadow Demon Slayer in the small dynasty is not small. He is considered a powerful warrior with a bad reputation. Even the royal family of the small dynasty is extremely afraid of Blood Shadow Demon Slayer. To be able to kill such a powerful warrior, he must be at least an eight-star martial master! Such a person, even in the Zichen Continent, is considered a top-notch warrior, how could he be an unknown person.
However, Elder Xu saw that Yang Qi was unwilling to say more, and that his appearance had changed. If Yang Qi did not reveal his identity, he had no way of guessing!
“Elder Xu, I leave this place to you. I will hand over Junior Sister Guo’s body to the Guo family.” Luo Tianyao said lightly.
"Saint!"
Just when Luo Tianyao was about to leave, Elder Xu suddenly called out to Luo Tianyao.
"Elder Xu, is there anything else?" Luo Tianyao turned around and looked at Elder Xu.
Upon hearing this, Elder Xu quickly said, "If the Saint Lady needs anything, you can contact me directly and I will do my best to help you."
"If necessary, I will contact Elder Xu again." Luo Tianyao smiled slightly, and then asked Zhao Wu to take Guo Xuetong's body. The three of them used flying martial arts and headed towards Tong'an City.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
In the sky, three figures flew towards Tong'an City at a rapid speed.
"I think that Elder Xu doesn't seem to have any ill will towards you." Yang Qi turned his head to look at Luo Tianyao beside him.
Luo Tianyao looked at Yang Qi and smiled coldly, "You can't judge a person by his appearance alone. Elder Xu was originally a guest of the royal family of the Xuanming Dynasty, and he is also a cultivator from our Netherworld Sect. He was not in the capital, but suddenly appeared here. Do you think it's just a coincidence?"
Yang Qi was stunned, but he immediately understood what Luo Tianyao meant. He frowned and said, "You mean, he was the one who set up the formation outside?"
“Although I’m not 100% sure, it’s at least 60% to 70%.” Luo Tianyao said calmly.
The most important point he hadn't mentioned yet was that this Elder Xu was very close to Saint Li Yi when he was in the Netherworld Sect. She even suspected that Saint Li Yi was deliberately responsible for the mission against the Blood Shadow Hall this time, and maybe even the Blood Shadow Demon Slayer was the one being plotted against!
"Aren't you tired of fighting openly and secretly like you guys?" Yang Qi sighed lightly.
He has never been interested in power. Ever since he started practicing, his pursuit has been to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. When Tianwu Sect was established, the first thing everyone thought of was to make Yang Qi the Sect Master. Unfortunately, Yang Qi had no interest in this at all, and in the end he just asked for the status of an elder.
Luo Tianyao looked at Yang Qi and said slowly, "You saw what happened just now. Do you think I have any other choice?"
Recalling the previous situation, Yang Qi also became silent. There are too many things in life that are beyond one's control. It doesn't mean that if you don't provoke others, others will not cause trouble to you. Sometimes, opposition is destined from the beginning.
“I’ve heard for a long time that your Netherworld Sect has some connection with the Xuanming Dynasty. I didn’t expect that your connection is so deep. The entire royal family of the Xuanming Dynasty is probably supported by your Netherworld Sect behind the scenes, right?” Yang Qi changed the subject.
Luo Tianyao nodded slightly, with no intention of hiding it, and said, "There are many things that the superpowers cannot directly deal with. Although the small dynasties fight with each other, sometimes it may not be a bad thing."
The existence of small dynasties is the deliberate creation of the three major empires. The struggles between small dynasties are sometimes not as simple as the struggles among the small dynasties themselves. There is also the shadow of superpowers behind them.
"I owe you a favor this time." Luo Tianyao suddenly said.
Hearing this, Yang Qi was slightly stunned, and then he chuckled and said, "It's really hard to believe when you say this."
"No matter what, if it weren't for you this time, I would have died." Luo Tianyao glanced at Yang Qi and continued, "But if I were you, I would be more careful when I left."
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Yang Qi's eyes, and he nodded immediately. (To be continued)
