Chapter 249 It really wasn't me!
Back in the barracks, Li Wanyun quickly took out a token from a box in the corner, which Hong Yuan had left there before he left.
Upon seeing this, Ding Yi raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Hong Yuan had already prepared himself to die before setting off, even leaving his token behind.
At this point, there were still two hours before they were to go out on patrol that night. In other words, the group had to survive these two hours before they would have a chance to leave.
In this environment, time, which usually flies by, now seems to drag on endlessly. Apart from Ding Yi, everyone else is restless. Even Li Wanyun sits there with her brows furrowed, remaining silent for a long time.
At this moment, Li Wanyun was pondering a question.
Where exactly did our own powerful cultivators go?
Did he really die in that county town?
At that very moment, in a pavilion in the city.
Two figures stood outside the railing, gazing at the scenery outside the city.
"Judging by the time, it's about time. They should have met the Buddha's disciple by now."
A bald old monk looked into the distance and suddenly spoke.
On the other side was a middle-aged man in a long robe, who smiled and said:
"I'm taking a risk this time to deliver this message to you. Those old geezers are very cunning, so be careful not to give them away."
Upon hearing this, the old monk immediately smiled and shook his head:
"No matter who you send to assassinate the Buddha's disciple, they will never return."
"You know how strong Senior Brother Kongxuan is."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately snorted coldly:
"Your Baiyun Temple is quite generous, even sending out Kongxuan, one of the Three Buddhas, to protect the path."
“The Buddha’s disciple is too important; he is the candidate for the next abbot. Du Wang, on the other hand, is full of demonic thoughts and has the potential to reach a new level.”
The old monk smiled slightly.
"With the princess's death, there will inevitably be turmoil in Zhongzhou, and at that time..."
The middle-aged man was about to speak when a loud noise suddenly came from afar, startling him.
Even the old monk, whose expression had always been indifferent, was taken aback. Then, in a flash, his soul left his body and he appeared in mid-air, looking towards the direction from which the sound came.
A bright red light spread across the distant sky, forming the shape of a relic in the air.
"This is!!?"
The old monk's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but roar. He was about to rush out, but the next moment he seemed to think of something, and his soul quickly fell downwards, returning to his physical body.
The old monk stared intently at the middle-aged man and said coldly:
"You're playing a double agent on me?!"
The middle-aged man was bewildered by what the monk said, but he seemed to realize that something was wrong and quickly asked:
"what happened?!"
The old monk didn't speak; he watched the middle-aged man warily, then shouted loudly outside:
"Dispatch a large army to surround Mo City!! Furthermore, no one is allowed to leave the pass!!"
The next moment, a reply came from outside the door, followed by hurried footsteps coming down from the attic.
The middle-aged man's forehead was damp with sweat as he tentatively asked:
"Did something happen?"
The old monk took a deep breath, and without hesitation, he suddenly struck out with a palm strike at the middle-aged man.
The next moment, a golden handprint flew out from the old monk's hand and pressed down on the middle-aged man's head.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man let out a strange cry, then leaped out of the attic and shouted:
"You're crazy!!"
"Today, all members of the Chaotic God Cult will die, and you will be no exception!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old monk's figure crashed through the wall of the pavilion like a humanoid beast, soaring into the air. Then, golden light shone from his body and enveloped the middle-aged man.
Upon seeing this, countless thoughts flashed through the middle-aged man's mind, but the situation was urgent, and he had no time to say another word. He simply burst forth with a large amount of red light, which transformed into a red light domain that firmly protected him within it.
"Boom!!"
The golden light shot into the red light field, immediately causing a loud crackling sound, which made the soldiers in the city look up.
"What's going on here?!"
"It seems to be Master Kongwen!"
"I haven't seen the one on the other side. But someone who can fight Master Kongwen must be at least a master of the same realm!"
The soldiers below were talking amongst themselves, looking at the two figures that were constantly crisscrossing around the two sides of the pavilion, and discussing among themselves.
Meanwhile, Li Wanyun and the others ran out after hearing the commotion.
Li Wanyun spotted the middle-aged man in mid-air at a glance, her face immediately lighting up with joy, and she said:
"White Crane Envoy!!"
This White Crane Envoy is the master of divine travel in this operation, specially transferred from the Chaotic God Sect branch in Bazhou.
So it turns out the White Crane Envoy was holding back a master here; no wonder he didn't go to Mo County with us.
Li Wanyun and the others breathed a sigh of relief, as seeing their own expert appear undoubtedly gave them a great deal of encouragement.
However, the situation on the field remains extremely critical.
It seems that the White Crane Envoy has already fallen into a disadvantageous position. It has to be said that these demonic monks from Baiyun Temple are all incredibly powerful. No wonder they were able to become the rulers of Bazhou.
Thinking about this, Li Wanyun's mind raced.
The White Crane Envoy must have seen that the mission was complete and was preparing to cause a disturbance so that he and his companions could escape.
But now the city is under martial law, how can I sneak out of the city?
What Li Wanyun didn't notice was that Ding Yi next to him was looking at the white crane envoy with a strange expression and a playful look on his lips.
"All battalions, listen up! Guard the city and do not allow anyone to leave the territory!!"
At this moment, some people were already riding horses, running around the city and shouting. On the other side, a large army was also ready to set off towards Mo City.
In an instant, the situation became even more complicated!
After exchanging a few blows with the monk, the White Crane Envoy chose to break out of the city. But at that moment, countless arrows shot out and rained down on him as he jumped into the air.
"damn it!!"
Jiang Baihe felt extremely aggrieved upon seeing this scene.
But he dared not explain loudly, for doing so would completely expose his identity as a traitor.
At this point, he could only pretend to be a spy within a spy and try his best to break through the defenses and escape towards Qingzhou.
Only by escaping to Qingzhou, where the people at Baiyun Temple would be hesitant to act, would he have a chance to escape amidst the chaos.
Just as Jiang Baihe's mind was racing, a terrifying aura suddenly appeared in Wangyue City, as General Zhou Luan made his move.
A mountain-like aura swept in with lightning speed. Jiang Baihe let out a strange cry, his body twisting and turning several times in the air to barely dodge it. Then, braving the rain of arrows, he charged toward the city wall.
Once you cross the city wall, the land ahead is flat and open. These people won't dare to chase you, and you'll be able to escape!
"Where to go!!"
With a loud roar, two figures appeared out of thin air on the city wall. One of them was wearing a yellow cassock, and the other was wearing bronze heavy armor. Both of them had an aura as deep as the ocean, and they stood in front of Jiang Baihe like gatekeepers.
"This is too much!"
Upon seeing this, Jiang Baihe was enraged. His aura surged, and his divine sense poured out, forming a domain about a hundred meters wide outside his body.
If we don't fight this hard now, we might really lose our lives here!
