The wind fluttered through the night in Anping Town.
It was now 9 p.m., and the vast majority of residents had already gone to sleep.
However, in several residences not far from the ruins, false hills or underground chambers suddenly opened.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh~"
Shadows appeared, leaping agilely like cats, setting out from the residences toward the ruins.
Their attire exactly matched that of the "demons" utilized in the military departnt’s assessnts.
Even the few civil servants that had not returned ho, upon seeing this spectacle, assud it was arranged by the governnt.
They swiftly rushed into the ruin site, the roaming officials outside, as if they didn’t see them at all, acted as if these people were air, letting them enter.
In reality, they indeed hadn’t seen these people’s presence because of the "Yin God Entering Dreams" spell, which had differing degrees of influence on everyone.
Under the leadership of several ring leaders, this group split into small teams heading toward their targets.
Chen Deshun and Wu i were assigned to capture Zhao Xing and Li Chengfeng.
Two Hall Masters, Chen Deshun was responsible for Li Chengfeng, while Wu i was tasked with capturing Zhao Xing.
The falcon, leading seven robust n, headed straight for Chen Shijie’s location.
Wu i advanced quickly, knowing their window for action was limited, as Blood Spirit Venerable had only given them forty-five minutes.
If they hadn’t completed the task by a quarter past nine, they would have to retreat.
Afterwards, with each additional fifteen minutes, the likelihood of being discovered increased.
If it went beyond forty-five minutes, death was certain.
"Years of infiltration, all for these forty-five minutes!"
"Just capture the person and imdiately retreat, the Venerable will cover for , plus the late-stage eighth-grade who is near his end will cover our escape."
"Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing... my dear, wait for mama to co and pamper you~"
Wu i licked her lips, a lascivious red glint flashing in her eyes.
....
In the fenced courtyard, Zhao Xing looked at the wooden statue of Duke Donghu using his bright eyes and detected nothing out of the ordinary, aning Duke Donghu had been distracted and left.
"But the phase of ’Yin God Entering Dreams’ is already over, whether Duke Donghu is here doesn’t matter." Zhao Xing was well aware of the procedure, Xuantian Sect definitely wouldn’t initiate a second ti.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t, but rather they didn’t dare.
If they initiated a second ti, then they simply wouldn’t have the strength left to escape; this was a capture mission, not a kamikaze attack.
"Why can’t I hear any noise?" Zhao Xing pinched the pendant by his ear, a treasure obtained from Dream Palace, the Wind Crystal Earring.
It allowed Zhao Xing to use the flow of air in the space around him to hear sounds from farther away.
Though Zhao Xing hadn’t studied any hearing-related spells, with the Wind Crystal Earring, he could still hear distant sounds.
But now, there was complete silence, leading him to wonder if Old Chen had already handled everything.
However, when he sensed the earth veins, he discovered that Fire Hell Dungeon hadn’t disappeared.
"Did Xuantian Sect retreat? Impossible, those maniacs love to go all-in. Once they start, they never retreat unless they exceed the allotted ti. And so of them are definitely not the retreating kind; they have to be sent to Great Zhou for extermination, creating chaos and drawing attention before they die."
"It’s so quiet, I wonder how Mr. Zong is doing. He should be waiting by the entrance as I instructed." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Gazing around, Zhao Xing suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.
Think of the devil, and he shall appear - it was Zong Shichang!
He was covered in blood, even his face was sared with it, indistinguishable whether it was his own or soone else’s, his expression riddled with terror.
"Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing, quick, let in, soone is chasing !" Zong Shichang yelled.
Zhao Xing examined the scene with his bright eyes and the Five Elents without detecting anything unusual.
He closed his eyes, then reopened them.
Although neither his bright eyes nor the Five Elents showed anything, the Earth Soul had stirred, especially since the Life Soul had genuinely entered a higher tier, elevating his Dream Storage Technique.
With a blink, he completed the intersection of sensing between Life Soul and Earth Soul.
"You think you’re Zong Shichang? Trying to fool a fool here." Zhao Xing scoffed internally.
Even without the sensing of the Life Soul, he would find it strange.
Just thinking about Zong Shichang, and here he appears?
That’s too coincidental.
"Brother Zong, don’t co toward the door, I’ve sealed it off; actually, I’ve made a gate on the fence side."
"Yes, exactly, it’s covered by vines, three ters to the left. I’ll co and open it now..."
Hearing Zhao Xing say this,
Wu i’s heart leapt with joy; after years of lurking, she hadn’t expected that the Xuantian Phantom Technique was still so effective, confusing this youngster right away.
The mont she moved closer, she could feel this room was protected; aning the ’Yin God Entering Dreams’ hadn’t tricked this youngster into opening the door.
If successful, as a carrier of the Venerable’s blood, she would be able to enter directly too because she had promised to let Blood Spirit Venerable inside... she could proceed as well.
Unfortunately no, so she had to think of another thod, and to her surprise, one deception worked!
"Alright, thank you." Wu i, unable to contain her joy, imdiately stood by the gate, three ters from the fence, and then while fumbling said, "Zhao Xing, quick let in... huh?"
Wu i’s face suddenly changed as she felt the ground underneath her violently erupt, a furious force blasting from beneath.
"Boom!"
The earth exploded violently, Wu i couldn’t help but fly backwards, crashing hard into distant ruins, collapsing countless stones and beams.
"Cough, cough... cough, cough..." Wu i clutched her chest, crawling out from the wreckage. She looked at her lower limbs, both legs were blasted bloody.
The right leg in particular, was so blown apart that bones were showing.
Wu i felt an excruciating pain, her head sowhat dazed by the explosion.
She couldn’t help but shoot three rapid questions:
What just happened? How did he see through it? What situation occurred?
