Inside one of the caves, Hun Wudao, dressed neatly, was studying a map of the city wall intently, while an oil lamp burned on a stone table.
The lamp wick flickered, emitting a warm glow.
suddenly...
A sudden frost swept over us, almost extinguishing the flames!
Hun Wudao instantly threw down the city wall map, drew his sword, and asked warily, "Who?!"
"I."
Sheng Haotian appeared at the cave entrance with a blank expression.
He strode over.
Hun Wudao breathed a sigh of relief, "Old Sheng, it's you!"
Hun Wudao returned to his sword, and his tense face relaxed slightly.
He joked:
"Weren't you fighting the Xuanji Sect? What brings you here? Did you get thwarted?"
Sheng Haotian waved his hand. "The fight hasn't even started yet! And you're already gloating!"
Hun Wudao sighed, "I haven't even started fighting yet, so I don't know who's garrisoning the city on the other side. If it's just ordinary people, that's fine, but I'm afraid it might be the clan leader A Ning, or people from the Xuanji Alliance."
Sheng Haotian said, "There's no need to fight anymore, let's retreat!"
"What's the meaning?"
"I came here to deliver a message to the Ancient Realm Lord. She has changed her mind and is ordering the Dark King Palace to attack the Illusory Void Feilian Race!"
"Then who will attack here?"
"Me!"
Did you come alone?
"Of course not, all my people are out there."
Sheng Haotian has entered his masterful deception mode; what he says is a mix of truth and falsehood.
He did indeed bring four hundred men with him when he arrived.
Four hundred elders!
Upon hearing that he was being ordered to make an emergency retreat and switch to the Immortal Firmament Manor, Hun Wudao was somewhat puzzled. He remained very wary. "Wait, let me think about this! You want me to retreat from the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race to fight the Illusory Void Feilian Race? If the Immortal Firmament Manor is going to fight the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race, then who will fight the Xuanji Sect?"
" The Devil Subduing Realm!"
"Did the Lord of the Realm write a letter?"
"Only a verbal order!"
"That won't do, Lao Sheng. It's not that I don't trust you, but I need to confirm with Lord Haoyuan."
Hun Wudao spoke, he took out a sound transmission talisman.
Lord Haoyuan was the person Gu Xinglan valued most, and he had always been Gu Xinglan's messenger. Hun Wudao did not dare to directly trouble the short-tempered Gu Xinglan, so he decided to ask Lord Haoyuan.
When he took out the communication talisman, Sheng Haotian's expression changed slightly. Wouldn't this give him away?
He suppressed his anxiety and moved silently in front of Hun Wudao. Then he struck out with a palm. Hun Wudao was caught off guard and was immediately sent flying, crashing into the cave wall. His internal organs ruptured and blood spurted out!
" Sheng Haotian! You, you motherfucker..."
Hun Wudao was taken aback, but he quickly realized that the former had betrayed him!
After all, he's not someone to be trifled with now; betrayal is nothing new to him.
Hun Wudao struggled to reach for the communication talisman that had fallen to the side. Sheng Haotian's mind raced, his longsword was drawn, and he walked up to Hun Wudao. Without a word, he thrust his sword forward...
A moment later.
Sheng Haotian walked out of the cave.
He was carrying something wrapped in cloth, covered in blood.
Others from the Dark King Palace sensed the killing intent and quickly came over, surrounding him.
Sheng Haotian didn't say anything, but raised his hand and made a "charge" gesture.
Whoosh!
Countless dark figures descended from the sky!
People of the Immortal Firmament Manor!
On one side were four hundred elders from the Immortal Firmament Manor, all at least at the level of Indestructible Saint; on the other side were three thousand elite warriors from the Dark King Palace, all at the highest level of the Thousand Autumns Realm.
The outcome is decided at this moment!
The battle has begun.
The battle is over.
Although the battle was brief, news of it still reached far and wide, especially alerting A Ning Feng Jia, who were stationed at the city.
The two men led their troops there and witnessed the Dark King Palace and Immortal Firmament Manor fighting each other.
They didn't quite understand that.
Why are they fighting amongst themselves?
After the three thousand people from the Dark King Palace were wiped out, only the people from the Immortal Firmament Manor remained on the field.
At this moment, Sheng Haotian also noticed A Ning and the other person.
A Ning drew her sword!
A sword Sword Qi, ten thousand feet high, shot straight into the night.
Feng Jia carefully observed Sheng Haotian and said in a deep voice, "Clan leader, do not act rashly! This guy is a bit strange!"
A Ning frowned. She also noticed the contents of the clothes in Sheng Haotian's hand, and blood was still dripping from the clothes.
"Don't fight, let's talk this out!" Sheng Haotian said.
"What's going on?" A Ning frowned, her voice cold as she asked.
"We're in this together!" Sheng Haotian said.
"Who's with you!" A Ning's doubts grew stronger.
"Chieftain, he's really acting strangely. Could this be a trap? Pretending to fight amongst ourselves to gain our sympathy, then taking advantage of our momentary lapse in attention to seize the city! That's what humans love to do!"
Feng Jia remained extremely vigilant.
Sheng Haotian waved the clothes in his hand. "Inside here is Hun Wudao's head."
A Ning stared at him, puzzled.
Sheng Haotian said, "Three thousand elite troops from the Dark King Palace were lurking here. I wiped them all out and cut off Hun Wudao's head. Isn't that a great show of sincerity?"
Feng Jia asked, "What do you mean? Sincerity? You want to surrender?"
"That's right!"
How can I be sure you're right?
"I'll give you this. You can check its authenticity and then you'll know!"
Sheng Haotian was about to throw the clothes over.
Feng Jia quickly stopped her, wondering if there might be a trap involved!
Their wariness is only natural; caution is the best policy!
As the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a person emerged from the night, calm and composed, with a radiant smile.
"Stop the standoff, we're all one family!"
Xie Feng smiled.
"Sect Leader, has he really surrendered?" Seeing him was like seeing her pillar of support; A Ning visibly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked.
Xie Feng neither confirmed nor denied it.
A Ning then completely lowered her guard and nodded to Sheng Haotian.
"Thank you, Sect Leader. Please take a look!"
Sheng Haotian handed the clothes to Xie Feng, who glanced at the contents of the package and nodded.
This shows considerable sincerity!
Moreover, he hadn't expected it to be completed so quickly.
Sheng Haotian brought another piece of news: Lord Lieyang, one of the Three Lords of the Devil Subduing Realm, will lead many powerful figures from within the realm to capture and hunt down the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python.
Because the Imperial Python is Yin, Gu Xinglan needs these!
Sheng Haotian simply didn't know the exact time or destination; it might be midnight, or it might be dawn!
Xie Feng instructed A Ning and the others to strengthen the entire clan's defenses, and he would not return to the Xuanji Sect or Imperial Evil Realm tonight; he would stay here to guard the pass!
As night fell, Xie Feng stayed at the best inn in the city. The entire third floor was his, and he could freely use Ren's study, tea room, and kitchen.
Inside the bedroom, Xie Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, a thin outer robe draped over his shoulders. Strangely, while it was summer in the Xuanji Sect, the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race was experiencing the desolation of autumn.
Xie Feng slowly pushed open a scroll, which was the " Tracing Moon Diagram " given to Xiangxiang during the day. This scroll specifically recorded many rare and unparalleled Formation. More importantly, this Cultivation Method was at the Origin Level!
