The next mont, Mu Yunqing’s figure slowly faded into the darkness.
First, find the people, then worry about the rest.
After all, according to the agreed ti, there was still a day left. He still had a buffer.
Mu Yunqing remained cautious. He hadn’t planned to act imdiately. He would only make his move after Xu An and Elder Shi Yan lured Si Nanyan and the other person away.
That way, it would be foolproof.
「...」
anwhile, inside Wen Zhixing’s small courtyard.
Liu Qingdai had finally been convinced by Wen Zhixing and Bai Luqiu.
She also realized it. Her current cultivation was too low; she was indeed a burden. If she continued to stay, Wen Zhixing and Bai Luqiu would have to expend effort protecting her.
Liu Qingdai’s eyes dimd slightly; she was annoyed at her own low cultivation. If she had cultivated properly in the past, she could be of help now.
"Luqiu, how should I leave? If I go out, I’ll definitely trigger the Alert Array," Liu Qingdai suddenly asked, having thought of sothing.
"Simple, just cause so commotion," Bai Luqiu replied, already having a plan. "Wen arranged for disciples of the Righteous Sun Sect to be ready outside to respond a day ago."
"Oh?" Liu Qingdai was stunned, then turned her head to look at Wen Zhixing.
All of Bai Luqiu’s possessions had been confiscated, so she couldn’t contact the outside. Fortunately, Wen Zhixing still had his belongings; his ssage Jade Talisman was still functional.
Wen Zhixing and Bai Luqiu hadn’t only sparred. Luqiu had also arranged so matters in advance during their sparring sessions.
When the Righteous Sun Sect disciples broke in, the Alert Array would be constantly triggered, and Liu Qingdai could then escape amidst the chaos.
"Wen, did you contact Xu An and Elder Shi Yan?" Liu Qingdai’s eyes suddenly lit up. If Xu An and Elder Shi Yan also ca, their chances of success would be much higher. Otherwise, why not just attack the Wonderous Palace directly?
"No," Wen Zhixing shook his head. The ssage Jade Talisman was like a phone; one couldn’t just send ssages to anyone. Both parties needed to establish a connection first.
Wen Zhixing could only contact Xu Qing, the one he had t at the gate when he first entered the Righteous Sun Sect. Xu Qing was rely an outer sect disciple with a low status; he couldn’t possibly find Xu An and Elder Shi Yan.
Previously, no one had anticipated so many unforeseen events. According to Liu Qingxuan’s original plan, Wen Zhixing was to go to the Wonderous Palace, cause a stir, and then Liu Qingxuan would co to wrap things up. As for Liu Qingdai, the intention was to let her suffer a bit.
Unfortunately, due to various accidents, Liu Qingdai had to exit the stage prematurely.
Most importantly, "Wang Shouzhen" was now recognized by the Righteous Sun Sect as a traitor. No one believed him anymore.
It had taken Wen Zhixing a great deal of effort to convince Xu Qing. Furthermore, Bai Luqiu had personally transmitted a ssage, which finally prompted Xu Qing to take the gamble. For Bai Luqiu’s sake, he’d risk it all.
Xu Qing still rembered the day they t outside the sect’s mountain gate; Bai Luqiu had instantly called out his na.
Luqiu still has in her heart, Xu Qing thought.
Just then, the ssage Jade Talisman at Wen Zhixing’s waist began to vibrate. A ssage was coming through.
Wen Zhixing glanced at the ssage Jade Talisman.
[Wen, we have arrived.]
Xu Qing had brought several outer sect disciples of the Righteous Sun Sect for support.
"Alright, they’ve arrived. Let’s go; we’ll head over first," Wen Zhixing said with a smile.
Xu Qing and the others didn’t need to do much. Their only task was to sneak into the Wonderous Palace quietly, then expose their location and flee. The Wonderous Palace was currently short-handed, so they naturally wouldn’t expend much effort to catch them.
"Qingdai, let’s go," Bai Luqiu said, stepping forward.
"Wen, Luqiu, I’ll leave what cos next to you two," Liu Qingdai said, taking a deep breath.
"Don’t worry," the two assured her in unison.
With Wen Zhixing’s and Bai Luqiu’s cultivation, as long as no accidents occurred, there shouldn’t be any problems.
"Go!"
Imdiately, the three of them, under the cover of night, quietly moved towards the outer periter of the Wonderous Palace.
「...」
In the woods outside the Wonderous Palace.
Beneath the towering trees, two dark figures were concealed. Even if a cultivator scanned the area with their spiritual sense, they would detect nothing unusual. It was as if the space was empty.
These two dark figures were, naturally, Xu An and Elder Shi Yan. They were silently watching the Wonderous Palace. Since Mu Yunqing had already gone in, they were also ready to act at any mont.
"Eh?" Suddenly, Xu An’s eyes flickered; he sensed soone approaching.
"Soone’s coming. Is it... disciples from the Wonderous Palace?" Elder Shi Yan also cast his gaze towards the nearby area. With their cultivation, they instantly spotted the approaching figures.
"No, they’re from our Righteous Sun Sect." The next mont, under the moonlight, they saw three figures. They were young n dressed in black night-raiding clothes, yet brimming with Yang Qi.
Honestly, wearing those black night-raiding clothes made little difference. With all that Yang Qi, it was easy to tell where they were from at a glance. The disguise was rather pointless.
The leader of these three was Xu Qing. All three wore grave expressions and were clearly very nervous, but for the sake of rescuing Bai Luqiu, they were going all out.
"They look sowhat familiar, but not very. Judging by their cultivation, they should be outer sect disciples of the Righteous Sun Sect," Xu An said after another look.
"Outer sect disciples?" Elder Shi Yan also frowned slightly.
Imdiately after, the two exchanged glances, sowhat puzzled. What are these youngsters doing here? Could they be traitors from the Righteous Sun Sect? No, that’s not right. If they were traitors, they wouldn’t be acting so cautiously. Wait, this attire... Could these three be planning to infiltrate the Wonderous Palace?
"Let’s go have a look," Xu An said, giving Elder Shi Yan a aningful look.
Instantly, they flickered and appeared directly in front of Xu Qing and his two companions.
"Damn it!"
The sudden appearance of Xu An and Shi Yan scared Xu Qing and his group half to death. They were already on edge, and this shock nearly sent their souls flying out of their bodies.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
Three gleaming broadswords were unsheathed simultaneously, slashing forward with all their might. Fear was one thing, but their instinct was to strike first.
"Stop! It’s !" Xu An shouted, a powerful pressure bursting forth, instantly immobilizing Xu Qing and his two companions.
"Elder Xu... Elder Shi..." The three recognized the people before them and quickly reacted.
"What are you doing here?" Xu An asked with a frown, retracting the pressure.
"Reporting to the Elder, we received a ssage and ca here to offer support," Xu Qing quickly replied, bowing.
"A ssage?" Xu An and Elder Shi Yan were both puzzled. "Whose ssage?"
"Reporting to the Elder, it was... that... Wang Shouzhen’s ssage," Xu Qing hesitated before replying.
"What? Wang Shouzhen..." Upon hearing this, Xu An and Elder Shi Yan were also taken aback. Wang Shouzhen had already defected from the Righteous Sun Sect, hadn’t he...? Could it be...?
Xu An pondered for a mont before saying, "Get up. First, tell exactly what happened."
"Yes, Elder." Xu Qing dared not delay and quickly retrieved the previous ssages exchanged between him and Wen Zhixing. These also included transmissions from Bai Luqiu.
A mont later, Xu An and Elder Shi Yan were even more perplexed.
It seed Wang Shouzhen and Bai Luqiu were... really okay...
Just as they were contemplating, Wen Zhixing’s ssage also arrived just in ti.
[Senior Brother Xu, we’re ready to co out. Please hurry over to et us. Qingdai has been rescued by us; you can escort her back first when you arrive.]
Then, Bai Luqiu’s voice ca through:
[Junior Brother Xu Qing, it’s . Be very careful.]
Following that, Liu Qingdai’s voice was also transmitted.
"Liu Qingdai is safe too!"
Now, everyone was stunned.
They’re all safe? Huh? Wait, how are they all safe? What on earth is going on?
"You three stay here for now," Xu An, finally unable to sit still, looked at Elder Shi Yan and said, "Let’s go and see for ourselves."
"Let’s go," Elder Shi Yan nodded.
The two of them quickly transford into streaks of light and vanished.
Their purpose for this trip was to rescue people. But now, Liu Qingdai and Bai Luqiu were fine and seed to be able to move about freely. That ans they could just take them away and be done with it. As for Mu Yunqing, they should send him a ssage right away. You can co out now; we’ve rescued the people.
PS:
