Chapter 1141: Probe (2/2)

Instantly, Sam saw some movements in the city as three figures along with their puppets making their way towards Paras.

”Paras, retreat.”

Sam ordered and Paras who is on defensive since the start finally made a move. His ax shined with energy as it cleaved through the first humanoid puppet punching at him and he destroyed the second puppet with an upward swing.

The head of the puppet hit the bird puppet in the sky making it crash.

He then moved towards the large puppet and instead of directly attacking it, he used it as a footing to jump upwards.

As he kicked on its head, the head was crushed and with that he used the recoil to leap high into the air and cleaved down wards heavily and in a single motion the bird puppet and the large cylindrical puppet were both destroyed and the cleave ray swept the approaching puppets from that side.

Paras made his escape while destroying the puppets that are about to follow him and at a perfect time, three lightning arrows were shot destroying the three remaining puppets on his tail.

Paras escaped.

Meanwhile, Night Ghost was a little hard to detect.

Even though Sam said that he doesn't need to hide himself deliberately, that doesn't mean he should reveal himself directly.

He just moved at his natural speed without bothering to hide himself.

But his speed was still too much for the stationary puppets and he was only detected when he was almost near the city wall and that too by a mobile puppet which is the humanoid one that is good at punching.

The signal was once again sent and many puppets started running towards him.

The situation is similar to Paras. He tried to defend and didn't destroy them outright. But as soon as the cultivators saw him, their eyes widened and they took out a flare and fired it into the sky.

The whole city seemed to have shaken from the flare as even the branch leader became vigilant.

All of a sudden, the formation of the city seemed to have changed immediately and Night Ghost could feel something targeting him.

”Night Ghost, Retreat.”

Sam ordered instantly and Night Ghost retreated with Vidyut's help.

Two minutes after Night Ghost's retreat, the branch leader and the elders arrived on the city wall and looked at the area.

The branch leader even jump off and crossed the formation as he observed the signs of the battlefield.

He immediately retreated with his elders and went back to the estate.

He entered a special room which has a large formation and millions of spirit stones loaded over it.

He activated the formation.

”What happened?”

The third branch leader's voice appeared from the other side.

”The other party has an Astral Plane Consummate level cultivator. Initial stage.” The second branch leader replied in a solemn tone.

”Are you sure?”

The third branch leader asked.

”Yes. There is a high possibility that there is one. We need to speed up the plan.”

”Should we just go for Black Ghosts once again? They also do mediations, right?”

”I don't see any other option. We can only do that.”
