Chapter 2157: Don’t Believe
Yang Chi is the team leader and has many things to consider, but the flower-faced grandma doesn't care about that. The situation just now was extremely urgent. If Qingyang hadn't been here, everyone would have died. They finally escaped. Now that the situation here has been investigated, there is no need to take risks again.
Yang Chi wanted to say something, but suddenly more Yinming ghost energy emerged from the ground and added to the previous formation. The range of the formation actually expanded outward at a speed visible to the naked eye. It seemed that it would soon cover Yang Chi and others again. Zhuge Qianji's anxious voice was faintly heard in the formation, saying: "Almost, I can break through the realm of refining emptiness, help me, come and help me quickly, and never let them go."
Zhuge Qianji's momentum seemed to be very different from before. Although he had not yet reached the realm of refining emptiness, he had surpassed the realm of transformation, and was far superior to Yang Chi and others. Let's call him half-step refining emptiness. At the same time, a roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, and it seemed that there were other enemies rushing towards this side. Needless to say, this was most likely the helper that Zhuge Qianji mentioned.
At this time, even those who did not understand the formation could see that the power of the formation had increased. Zhuge Qianji also digested Jin Tianliang, Ming Tianshu, and He Wushou who were trapped in the formation, and his strength was greatly improved. There were only five people left on his side. If they were trapped by the formation again, it would be difficult to escape again. In addition, there was an unknown opponent rushing from the depths of the cave, and staying would only lead to death.
Without anyone speaking, the five people rushed out of the mine at the same time, saving their lives was the most important thing. Seeing the prey was about to escape, Zhuge Qianji in the formation was anxious, but he did not dare to come out to stop it. If there was no protection from the formation, he was no match for Yang Chi and others, and the formation expanded very slowly, and he could not catch up with Yang Chi and others who were determined to escape. As for the helpers in the depths of the cave, they were too far away to come, and could only watch the prey escape.
After planning for so long, he only caught three insignificant eighth-level spiritual cultivators. Zhuge Qianji was extremely unwilling, but he had no other choice. Seeing that Yang Chi and others had already fled far away, he could only give up the pursuit. Fortunately, he had many preparations and was not completely helpless.
Let’s not talk about how Zhuge Qianji broke through the refining void for now. Yang Chi and others escaped from the mine in one breath. When they saw the sun in the sky, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The formation of the underworld clan would be affected by the external environment. There was not so much Yin and Ming ghost energy outside, which could not support the operation of the formation, and the power would be greatly reduced. Even if Zhuge Qianji could not catch up now, he might not be able to beat them. The only thing he needed to worry about was the unknown opponent in the depths of the cave. He didn’t know how strong he was and what means he had.
There were nine people on the way here. Gong Yangyu rebelled, Jin Tianliang, Ming Tianshu, and He Wushou died in the mine cave, and Yang Mei was also injured. Only four people were intact. This mission was a heavy loss. After a short breath, Yang Chi looked at everyone and said, "What should we do next?"
Yang Mei said, "Although my injury is not serious, there is a corpse gas spreading from the wounds of the five finger holes on my body. It takes a lot of true energy to suppress it. I can't do anything else. My strength is greatly limited. Let's rush back to Qianji City as soon as possible."
From the time He Wushou was severely injured by Zhuge Qianji to Yang Mei being injured by He Wushou, it was less than half an hour in total. He Wushou had such a strong corpse gas in his body. Just scratching five finger holes on Yang Mei's body made her lose most of her strength. Zhuge Qianji's formation is really overbearing. If she stays in it for a while longer, I really don't know what changes will happen.
The flower-faced grandmother said, "Venerable Huoyan sent us to investigate the missing miners and monks. Now the truth has come out and the mission has been completed. In addition, we have lost nearly half of our team and have no ability to go deeper. We should go back to report to Venerable Huoyan as soon as possible."
The others also had this opinion, so the five of them did not waste any more time and each drove their flying spirit tools back to Qianji City. On the way back, there was no burden from Gongyang Yu, but there was an additional patient, Yang Mei. Everyone's speed was about the same as when they came, and it took two full days to see Qianji City from afar.
There were people sent by Venerable Huoyan on duty on the top of the city. Seeing that only five people returned, they were very surprised. Didn't the other four die? Is the mission so difficult? They knew the strength of the Ugly Group. Even the Ugly Group suffered such heavy losses. Wouldn't the others be wiped out if they went?
The person on duty hurriedly went up to greet them briefly, and then took the five people to the City Lord's Mansion. Venerable Huoyan had already received the news and was waiting in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Seeing that only five people came back, he couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Why are there only five of you? What happened? Is it really so difficult? Have you investigated the truth of the matter clearly?" As the leader of the ugly team, Yang Chi stepped forward and said: "Reporting to the senior Venerable Huoyan, what happened is this. Gong Yangyu led us all the way. On the morning of the third day..." Yang Chi recounted the whole process of their trip without any exaggeration. When it came to Zhuge Qianji being the mastermind behind this incident, Venerable Huoyan was immediately furious and shouted: "I didn't expect that all these things were done by this guy. For his own selfishness, he actually killed tens of thousands of innocent monks. No wonder these remnants of the demon clan are being hunted down by everyone. They really deserve to die."
Heard that Gong Yangyu not only betrayed us, but also killed Ming Tianshu, he could no longer suppress his anger, slammed the chair, and said angrily: "This Gong Yangyu not only colluded with the remnants of the demon clan, but also dared to kill my people in Wuhuo City. When I catch him in the future, I will tear him into pieces."
Speaking of the magic of the formation, Huoyan Venerable was a little unconvinced, saying: "What kind of formation can be so powerful? It can actually allow an ordinary Divine Transformation cultivator to have the strength of the Refining Void Realm? You are not afraid that I will hold you responsible for mistakenly entering the enemy formation, so you deliberately exaggerate the opponent's strength?"
After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Qingyang, his heart He was even more suspicious and said, "He is only at the seventh level of the Spiritualization. Even if he can challenge the higher level, it would be good if he can defeat the eighth and ninth level cultivators. How can he possibly deal with the Void Refining cultivators? Your mission was indeed hard, and you have investigated the truth. I understand that you want to exaggerate your achievements, but you have to make up a reasonable reason."
Venerable Huoyan did not believe that Zhuge Qianji's formation was so powerful, and he did not believe that Qingyang's strength was so strong. He believed that Yang Chi and others said so to exaggerate their achievements. In fact, any normal person would not think that Qingyang's strength was so amazing.
