That night, seeing no one else around, Ren Wobai and his group finally erged.
"Lu Yi, Lu Er, go and check. If everything's fine, we'll pass through tonight under cover of darkness." Ren Wobai whispered.
In such circumstances, it's better to be cautious.
If by any chance we run into King Qin or King Qi's people, it'll undoubtedly cause trouble.
Lu Yi and Lu Er nodded, quickly leap towards the intersection of Three Harmonies Valley.
Their feet stepped on the tree branches, akin to martial arts experts in TV shows, and swiftly reached the center of the valley.
Initially, there was nothing, but suddenly, a crossbow arrow shot from the darkness, hitting Lu Er's back directly.
Lu Er cried out in misery, though he didn't collapse, he was already kneeling on one knee.
Lu Yi quickly supported Lu Er, trying to leave the scene as soon as possible, but soon after, a group of people erged from the darkness.
They quickly surrounded Lu Yi and Lu Er.
The leader was the master riding a leopard.
Holding a large saber, the man slashed towards Lu Er's head, seemingly intent on killing him.
Lu Er was severely injured and had no strength to evade, but in a mont of desperation, Lu Yi pulled Lu Er back.
The saber missed, cutting off one of Lu Er's ears.
Above the valley, Ren Wobai was sweating anxiously.
Lu San and Lu Si also wanted to go down to rescue their brothers.
"You can't go down there, the man with the saber seems to be General Bai Qi stationed here; he's an expert at the eighth level of Qi Refinent, and his Green Wind Saber is unbeatable. You saw it, right? The man riding the giant wolf under King Qin also appears to be an expert, yet Bai Qi cut off one of his arms and now he dares not show himself."
"These guys won't care whether we're from the Dan God Sect or not, and once they know we are, they'll capture us and demand a bulk of elixirs from the Dan God Sect in exchange. If the sect doesn't wish to part with the elixirs, we'd be dood."
Ye Guichen found it strange upon hearing this: "Are they really not afraid of our Dan God Sect?"
Ren Wobai chuckled bitterly: "Afraid? Why would they be afraid of us? Hehe, in the mundane world, the status of the Four Great Dan Sects is high not just because they can provide elixirs to other hidden families but also because they're isolated with many barriers around. Even if soone wants to harm them, they first have to breach those barriers. But we're different; though the Dan God Sect lives by alchemy, we're close to King Qin and King Qi's territories, and they've always wanted to draw us under their wing."
"The Dan God Sect hasn't agreed, and thus the matter remains stuck. Yet, due to our unique position, King Qin has grown powerful, eyeing us even more fiercely. These years, he's frequently sent people to threaten the Sect Master."
"Though King Qi hasn't been as blatant, his interest in the Dan God Sect is strong. If they encounter soone from our sect, they certainly won't let them go easily. In King Qi's people's eyes, the Dan God Sect might surrender to King Qin, then they'd be mortal enemies."
Ye Guichen, listening to this, gained so understanding of the current situation.
King Qin is domineering.
The Dan God Sect seems impressive but actually survives in a narrow gap.
In front of the Four Great Dan Sects, they can be arrogant, but here, they probably have to keep the mountain gates tightly shut.
If careless, they'll beco a vassal to King Qin or King Qi.
"If we don't go down to rescue, Lu Yi and Lu Er might be in danger!" Ye Guichen frowned.
Though generally indifferent towards the Lu family brothers, they were among the few known from the hidden sect. Should they die like this, Ye Guichen would feel uneasy.
Lu San and Lu Si didn't expect Ye Guichen to say such things.
They glanced at Ye Guichen.
Lu San said, "Deacon Ren is right, going down now won't help us at all. Even the strongest among us Lu family brothers is only at the third level of Qi Refinent, against Bai Qi, there's only a road to death."
As he spoke, he shafully lowered his head, unable to bear watching his brothers anymore.
Lu Si also seed reluctant.
Ren Wobai sighed: "Ye Sheng, I say these things because I trust you as one of us. Hehe, you wouldn't want to leave the Dan God Sect, would you?"
Ye Guichen felt surprised by this tone.
Though having no feelings for the Dan God Sect, this is currently the best place for shelter, so naturally wouldn't leave easily.
Moreover, Ye Guichen knew little about the internal affair of the hidden sect.
At least, before fully understanding the hidden sect's situation, Ye Guichen didn't intend to leave the Dan God Sect.
Pausing briefly, Ye Guichen began pledging loyalty: "Brother Ren, you don't treat as an outsider; I, Ye Sheng, naturally won't do sothing worse than a beast. The Lu family brothers have protected us all along; I can't just watch them die!"
After speaking, Ye Guichen whispered: "Brother Ren, you stay here, I'll go down and see if I can rescue Lu Yi and Lu Er. If I can't, you take advantage of the chaos to leave."
Without waiting for Ren Wobai to pull him back, Ye Guichen had already leaped down.
Lu San and Lu Si were stunned, their eyes showing a flicker of emotion.
Ye Guichen certainly had his own calculations.
This ti, if he could save Lu Yi and Lu Er, afterward, in the Dan God Sect, they'd definitely appreciate his favor, no matter what happens, they'd stand by his side.
Moreover, as disciples of the Law Enforcent Hall, they control the entry and exit of the Dan God Sect.
Should Ye Guichen wish to enter or leave the sect, they'll certainly turn a blind eye.
Thus, this rescue is absolutely worth it.
With a few leaps, Ye Guichen was already close to those people.
Breaking off a branch and channeling power into it, he directly shot it at Bai Qi.
Bai Qi's ear twitched, clearly hearing the branch's attack, and with a quick swing of his large saber, he split the branch into two.
"Who goes there!" Bai Qi thundered, turning towards Ye Guichen's location.
Ye Guichen stood on a tree branch, still a hundred ters from Bai Qi and his people, pointing at Lu Yi and Lu Er: "Let them leave!"
"Who are you? Daring to command ?" Bai Qi sneered: "Seize him!"
The soldiers under Bai Qi's command, after receiving the order, didn't hesitate for a second, swiftly leaping forward, rushing towards Ye Guichen.
Those soldiers were mostly innately skilled, yet their collective strength was formidable and could easily handle a Qi Refining expert.
Ye Guichen was dismissive of innate experts.
Wielding the Immortal Slayer Sword, he cut down the offending soldiers as if slicing vegetables.
After killing over a dozen soldiers in succession, Bai Qi looked at Ye Guichen incredulously: "Kid, I didn't expect you to have so skills! If that's the case, then win against my Green Wind Saber before talking!"
He lightly tapped the belly of the leopard with his feet.
The leopard leaped into the air, pouncing towards Ye Guichen.
Simultaneously, Bai Qi raised his saber, slashing at Ye Guichen.
