754 Virtuous Deeds Will Be Rewarded (1/2)
”Did you think that after suffering losses several times, we would allow it to continue?”
The leader of the men in black laughed out loud. He was an Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioner but was not nervous at all upon encountering a Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner. Instead, he had a mocking look on his face.
”This time, our goal is indeed Wang Qinghan, but we have another more important goal. That goal is to teach your Huatian Palace a lesson and to tell you that the Huatian Palace will not be smug for long. Sooner or later, this world will be ours.”
The previous few missions of the Ghost Lair had all failed, resulting in severe losses. They had long since found out that it was the work of the Huatian Palace. This time, they had been ready, coming well-prepared.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group of Huatian Palace ancient martial art practitioners changed drastically. Could it be that the members of the Ghost Lair had already known that they would come, and thus set up an ambush for them to fall into?
”Senior Fu Qing, your orders?”
A Vermillion Bird Palace Hall female Five-star Executor looked at the Six-star Executor leader with a serious expression. In this Huatian Palace Five star Executor team, clearly she was the leader.
”Retreat!” Granny Fu Qing did not think twice. After uttering that one word, her body suddenly exploded with a terrifying aura. She swept the surrounding Huatian Palace Five star Executors away. In the blink of an eye, they had flown a few hundred meters, heading towards the city center.
The expressions of the other Vermillion Bird Palace Hall Five star Executors changed drastically. They had not expected that Granny Fu Qing's reaction would be so sensitive. She was a Huatian Palace Six star Executor and an existence at the Golden Elixir Realm. Who knew how many missions she had carried out before? And yet, she had actually run after the other party had spoken once.
”Senior Fu Qing, aren't you being too wary? They may have been bluffing,” a woman wearing a mask with a graceful figure and carrying a long saber in her hand said. She was none other than the Invisible Saber Demon, who had previously fought against Mo Wen in the Vermillion Bird challenge ring.
Back then, Invisible Saber Demon was just a step away from the Embryonic Breathing Realm and was working diligently to break through the barrier. Right now, she had successfully broken through to the Embryonic Breathing Realm. Her cultivation had progressed by a huge step once again.
”Retreat immediately, the quicker the better.”
Granny Fu Qing activated all her Inner Qi, trying her best to drive everyone to fly and escape together speedily. She had been an Executor in the Huatian Palace for more than fifty years. How many missions had she completed and how many dangers had she experienced to live to this day? She depended not just on her ability but also her observational skills and her keen perception.
From the expressions of the members of the Ghost Lair, she could tell that they indeed had nothing to fear, and it was more serious than she had imagined.
She had not expected that the members of the Ghost Lair had actually managed to respond so quickly, setting up an ambush earlier.
Not long ago, the Huatian Palace received news that the Ghost Lair's movements had increased and their activities were very frequent. Also, there was a large number of women going missing, and all of them were connected to the Ghost Lair.
Not long after, the Huatian Palace had marked the Ghost Lair. They had confirmed that the Ghost Lair was indeed carrying out some activities, and were also searching and capturing some women with special traits at a large scale. As for what was their goal, the Huatian Palace had yet to determine it.
The Ghost Lair's previous few kidnapping plans had indeed been discovered by the Huatian Palace. They were later stopped and foiled.
But from the time they had discovered the Huatian Palace and their response now, it had only been two days. Even the Huatian Palace had not expected that the Ghost Lair would respond so quickly.
Wang Qinghan looked in surprise at the Huatian Palace members who had turned tail and fled with an expression that was pale beyond compare. The Executors who represented the Huatian Palace, the high above, mysterious symbol of power, had actually fled!
What had caused them to flee?
Wasn't the Huatian Palace the ruler of this world? What could cause the members of the Huatian Palace to be afraid? And who dared to make an enemy of the Huatian Palace?
Wang Qinghan instantly felt herself crumbling. The members of the Huatian Palace had actually been scared off. Could it be that she was truly beyond saving?
”Since you have come, why leave now? Don't you think it's too late?”
A sinister laugh suddenly sounded from the mountains. The laughter reverberated in the mountains. It was sinister and caused people to feel a shiver down their spines.
Three dark silhouettes appeared in the sky above without a sound or a trace. They had just appeared in the sky when sinister winds blew up. The sinister winds gathered together and formed a mass of dark clouds. It enveloped everyone, including the Huatian Palace members and the members of the Ghost Lair.
The entire world seemed to have instantly transitioned from day into night. The surroundings were dark beyond compare and cold winds blew. Everyone seemed to be enveloped by sinister winds, unable to escape from this place.
”Not good. It's the Ghost Lair's Sinister Wind Stratagem. They actually brought along the Sinister Wind stratagem flags.”
Granny Fu Qing's expression changed drastically. Her eyes were stern to the extreme. Since the Ghost Lair had brought along the Sinister Wind stratagem flags, that meant that for them, they had to succeed for this operation. The Ghost Lair would not give them a chance to run for their lives.
The Sinister Wind Stratagem was a very common stratagem in the Ghost Lair. Normally it could be unleashed with three to five people. It was very convenient and was also a great help in team battles.
But although this sort of Sinister Wind Stratagem was very common in the Ghost Lair, it was impossible for them to use it during ordinary missions. Usually only when against Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners or even in battles of the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm or higher would the Sinister Wind Stratagem be used.
In this group of Huatian Palace Five star Executors, aside from Granny Fu Qing, the rest were all Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners. They would not be able to withstand the Sinister Wind Stratagem at all. For them to still use the Sinister Wind Stratagem under such circumstances, the Ghost Lair certainly did not want to let them live.
In the sky above, the three dark silhouettes emitted powerful auras. The one in the center had the most powerful aura. It was almost comparable to a later stage Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner. The other two actually also had intermediate stage Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. Even if only one had appeared, with the help of the Sinister Wind Stratagem, it would be very difficult for the Huatian Palace Five star Executors to escape alive.
”Granny Fu Qing, it is such a coincidence that we have encountered you again. I wonder how you will escape this time.” In the sky above, the dark silhouette on the right spoke coldly, seemingly recognizing Granny Fu Qing.
